@@jasongilder22constant misrepresentation would make anyone emotional. Imagine repeating the same answer 5 times, hearing the same question begged for without any reason or logic, having to refute claims that can’t possibly be valid or true or relevant.
As a non-believer, I've always had great respect for both of you, Cliffe and Stuart. Your arguments are often compelling, and you are both well spoken and charismatic. I feel as though Stuart is genuinely listening to and interacting with non-believers and our objections, whereas sometimes I feel as though Cliffe is more reciting his long-established and pre-rehearsed apologetics, without ever calibrating to (or even acknowledging, much less debating) the very specific objections that are being given. It feels like a pre-recorded sermon or powerpoint, rather than a genuine, in-the-moment conversation. I love you both so much for putting out videos like this. We need more debates like this. I hope to have the honor of debating you someday, and I hope that I would do it with more respect and tact than Aron did.
any specific objections you can name ? because, I would agree that Cliffe is sometimes a bit rusty, but I would also argue that the "specific objections" are but misunderstanding of well established arguments every apologist is using.
Pls read this with a humble heart and believe in the Gospel. I pray that God gives you light. Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. I Corinthians 6:9-10 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/1co.6.9-10.NKJV What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” “Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” Destruction and misery are in their ways; And the way of peace they have not known.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:9-14, 16-20 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/rom.3.9-20.NKJV For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? I Corinthians 1:18-20 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; I Corinthians 1:27 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/1co.1.27.NKJV And Jesusbsaid to them, “Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?” ( Thus He declared all foods clean.) And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.” Mark 7:18-23 NASB bible.com/bible/100/mrk.7.18-23.NASB But there is hope: and Jesus saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/mrk.1.15.NKJV But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Romans 3:21-23, 25-26 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/rom.3.21-26.NKJV Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 NKJV bible.com/bible/114/act.4.12.NKJV

Aron spouts a lot of absolute statements as if there is no other way to interpret them. He also interrupts Cliffe with a statement and expects him to drop everything and respond, at that rate, only Aron would get what he wants the world to hear across, and that’s completely immature and disrespectful, especially in an argument.

@@jackdangers3292 and I completely understand Aron. I’ve been in such discussions. If the other side is not only not listening, but actively misrepresenting what you say, an intelligent conversation is impossible. Unfortunately calling somebody a liar, when he is lying, is considered rude. But that is exactly because religious people have enforced that picture of rudeness over centuries.
What are you talking about? Aron Ra has a right to get angry and passionate because that’s how these debates work, Cliff isn’t even really that nice anyway, his demeanour comes off as patronising.
@@willdavey1565 I’m on Aron’s side of the lane for this debate and I think he’s incredibly rude at times. For how intelligent he is, there is absolutely no reason to belittle or call people names if you claim to be in pursuit of the truth. If they’re wrong or don’t have the capability to understand your explanations, losing your cool and exploding into obscenities/personal attacks is not going to add to the conversation. The perceived inaccuracy of your opponents claims is never a justification to throw a tantrum.
This wasn't a debate. This was Aron Ra pathologically ranting and spewing utter nonsense in diatribe form, with Stuart agreeing with everything Aron Ra says
Cliffe I would just like to thank you for having such patience during this debate. This man called Aron’s lack of ability to articulate himself with being disrespectful is just outstanding. I think this debate should of been cut short when cliffe was called out his name. Cliffe I commend you with how you handled this debate. Stuart you did wonderful also.
Cliffe appeals to scrips and cue cards, like he's been using them for years. The same dull, glib arguments based on magical man in the sky. Aron uses science.
Did you like when Cliffe was caught out in his lie about the baseball bat thing where he was speechless and totally humiliated.........did you really like that bit showing he broke one of the 10 commandments ?
Seriously......Cliffe has the same script he's used for years......he literally doesn't Interact with Aaron he just goes to the next line of the script.....he's a complete simpleton weirdo
Aron has heard all the same bs rambling a bizillion times before. He interrupts people whenever they start lying or stop making sense, which is honestly pretty fair.
@@sullivanpecharka3830you are blind brother. a debate without civil discourse won’t go anywhere, its like the only thing that holds an actual debate together. how can you watch Aron completely disregard cliff’s points with a egocentric perspective and agree with the man.

Can’t help but to feel you’re feelings are biased for Aron man and that’s not being intellectually honest and fair
@@UnmaskedTuxedo truth or not, you have to let them finish talking, even though they were not lying at all because these are all subjective claims. They are all opinions about what they think is the truth.
I learned a long time ago if someone starts saying "no one, everybody, the whole world understands, does, believes or is" does not know what they are talking about. Aron's anger, pain, frustration and hatred for God shows through his inability to have a proper debate. He says im right and your wrong therefore he sees himself as a god thats perfect in his own eyes.
It has to be difficult always being right. Then constantly having to deal with these ignorant people preaching or speaking the same nonsense over and over and over… He cant hate something that doesn’t exist…
I’m not sure how your logic doesn’t include the very rule you decided to follow and base your life on. “People that say that or that don’t” is itself a binary approach to understanding the reality of something. Your excluding and not including how each viewpoint has a piece of reality to understand so that we(like the blind men and the elephant story) can realize that it’s not a tree trunk or rope or anything else we can anthropomorphize nature into. Truth is Whole. Any of Truth’s pieces are entangled in other emerging limited truths. Finite vs infinite. Both sides of this conversation describe One thing, I hope you’d agree. Objective Truth is real. If we can see what you can fathom of God in whom you consider your enemy, then I’d know you have an understanding of what I’m trying to point to here. Everything has good and bad, that’s how it can be a thing.
People are so disgusted with Christians, they completely disregard Aron's blatant disrespect. Now if people deny what I am saying then I have lost hope in humanity
It’s because Aron worships his own intelligence. He can’t go a single debate without drinking, cussing, and saying everyone’s a liar… and playing the victim . I understand the position of atheists and agnostics because I was the same most my life but Arons position is insufferable, he can quote the Bible all he wants all he does is read things out of context
I think this is a perfect example of what Jesus says in Matthew. 7:6 says "“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." (NASB) or the Message paraphrase of Matthew 12-15 “When you knock on a door, be courteous in your greeting. If they welcome you, be gentle in your conversation. If they don’t welcome you, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way. You can be sure that on Judgment Day they’ll be mighty sorry-but it’s no concern of yours now.
I applaud Cliff on his patience. I cannot converse with someone who wants to only hear themselves and just cuts off the other person the first time they hear somethingthey disagree with without letting the person get out their entire point. This is why I don't debate. I will converse untill I'm drowned out. I'll just walk away, which unfortunately is often where people get the "oh they never have an answer for my question, they just turn away when they're asked". No, it's because you won't respectfully let them get their point out. This guy just doesn't know how to shut up and listen.
Aron talks about promoting happiness and well being. But he fails to realize who says that’s good? Is it just his opinion that that should be the moral standard? Who says happiness and peoples well being is good and moral he can’t answer that.
Its the naturalistic fallacy. Read Mill's work on Utilitarianism. I teach ethics in college and while Mill's utilitarianism is helpful, it isn't the same as saying we 'ought' to do something, which is deontic as well as grounded in virtue ethics. We promote happiness and well being BECAUSE it promotes those things. This isn't ethics but merely logic.
Atleast someone not on the Christian side can acknowledge Cliffe’s composure. It’s hard to try and justify your viewpoint when the opposition won’t even let you speak. Id love to hear a debate where Aron can keep his mouth shut long enough to let the opposition make a statement so he then can make an (uninterrupted) statement and refute whatever he disagrees with like an actual debate should be.
@@kl690 well even then cliff isnt good at debating hes an amazing apologist but hes just not good at debating so its pretty dumb to have these to go at it it doesn't help that the moderator is completely useless
@@Idk.lol7689 That’s not the point. Aron still won’t keep his mouth shut and interrupts every time Cliffe speaks. I really don’t care if Aron or anyone thinks Cliffe is a bad debater or wrong on his worldview… have some respect and let him speak and you can refute him when he’s done. We’re taught this as children but Aron can’t figure it out. The moderator also just lets Aron run rampant which is ridiculous. This video is a tough watch. It’s a simple matter of giving respect and not interrupting. Aron did neither this debate.
This is why I will always love Aron Ra. He is so prepared and levels his opponent with a blizzard of facts that can't be denied. It's like a man among children here. Aron dominates these brats.
Aron really thinks that everyone thinks the same ? There's people in this world that think rape is okay and there's people that think is wrong. So how is relativism not relevant?
For one, when you make your living selling crapola like Cliffe does, you can't help yourself. He's convinced himself he's right even though he has zero evidence to support his baseless claims.
Please make another one with Aron Ra I know he's a lot to handle or an asshole but this is really interesting and probably one of the better conversations unlike the school campus children who don't have a leg to stand on.

Perhaps cliff should stop lying, trying to put words in his mouth or making statements that need to be immediately rebutted. Then AR wouldn’t need to interrupt him.
Aron gets offended when someone starts an argument with him that he can’t argue against. He wants to be in control of the argument, and when he’s not, he gets upset. That’s why when Cliffe came on he flew into a rage.
I can attest to this. Last year at satancon he couldn't answer me when he couldn't deemed his position we don't have a soul. He got upset, and ran away saying he just wanted to enjoy the conference. You could tell he's used to pre packaged arguments
From 45:00 - 45:45 Crazy to watch this part... Please sit back and realise both these men want to help each other so badly... forget about the ideas for a moment and notice the passion for one another. That's humanity. Now put your filter back on and pick a side :(
I agree! It's because he's an educated person who can defend himself rather easily. Where Cliffe (and it's sad to say his son will follow in his footsteps) is educated to be an apologist. He is saying the same exact things today as he says in this video from 2 years ago. How much do these guys make after going through a long process of becoming an apologist? Stuart, it's not too late! 🙃
@@EddieSchultz62 Ah, yes. Because defending Biblical truth must always be done for monetary gain. Cliffe and Stuart rely on scientific fact to back their viewpoints. Aron bases his beliefs on his emotions.
@@lianadotjpeg First of all, what biblical truth are you speaking of? And yes, most people who defend a holy book do it for monetary gain, because they know there are gullible people like you out there that buy into it. If they rely on 'scientific' facts to support their claims, tell me the scientific facts that support their views. It's the other way around, what Aron says is supported by facts, where Cliffe and his son's claims are based on faith.
U think the con artists you worship would? Preacher is a job title pal, and they have been abusing the innocent for millenia.$$$$ 😅 I can guarentee you these clowns make far more and do far less than aron ra
The issue with Aron's whole argument is that it's subjective in his own belief. He can say no one wants to harm people and that he puts his moral faith into humanity, but look at history, look at some of the examples he himself brought up. The issue with him saying that's "objective" is that if he was in a down-trodden area, his look on that would be totally different. Btw, it DOES NOT say anything about sex slaves. LMAO.
He's generalizing of course. There are a handful of fools that want to hurt people. But generally no. What do you think(assuming you do) it means when virgin females are to be saves as rewards for slaughtering every male, old women and females that have had sex? Solomon had hundreds of sex slaves (concubine).
Great debate. There is room for Aron and Clive to learn from each other, both are very headstrong and equally convinced of what they believe. Aron is a better match for Clive than most of the students I saw him debate in other videos. It will be a far greater challenge for Clive to convince Aron and I do believe he needs to adjust his method to more clearly learn the premise from which Aron comes. As Christians we don’t have to prove that Jesus is God and the bible infallible but we have to find a way to get across the message that Jesus died for our sins and that we can have a personal relationship now with God through the Holy Spirit if we repent and accept the sacrifice. About morality, Aron is right that it is something that does not just arise from evolution but it places a great part in it. God’s morality however is rooted not in evolution but His love for mankind. Only God can foresee the future and therefore the first commandment is to put him first in everything. Human morality is shaky because it doesn’t look far enough from the here and now. Well meaning morality often leads to evil especially when bad things happen and one doesn’t know who or what to blame. However people used to use God to give them justification to do bad things like the witch hunts and many other atrocities of the past. God is also often used as a justification to attack other countries in a so called righteous war like president Bush did when invading Afghanistan. Christianity has gotten a bad name because of misuses like this. Christians often went along with atrocities because they rejected the Holy Spirit not embracing the prophetic gifts thus not able anymore to discern spirits. Demons gained control of Christians because they stopped believing into Demons and the devil, and therefore nobody in church knows anymore how to use authority over them. Healings don’t happen because faith has been reduced to a rattling down of empty prayers and confessions of believe in Jesus but denying the power of God through their lifestyles. Who when sick still goes to the elders to have them pray over them, instead most immediately run to their doctors or chemist which shows how much trust they really have in Jesus. If Christians can’t trust God for healing, how can they trust him for salvation which is a far greater work? Because of the lack of faith amongst Christians they have long stopped being the salt of the earth and are trampled over wherever they go. We need a revival of the Holy Spirit again, because only the Holy Spirit can convict the hearts of people like Aron of sin, righteousness and the coming judgement. That’s what I’m praying because everything else, important as it is we do, won’t do any good unless God is with us.
In a martial arts versus skepticism analogy. Aron has a lot to "lose" image-wise and can maintain his image and ego by "doubling down" and staying off the mat and doubting versus humbling himself, getting on the mat (drawing near) Evolution being true doesn't discount Jesus. See S. Joshua Swamidass on that topic. Evolution or Naturalism doesn't equal atheism. See Alvin Plantiga.
@@MuhammadsMohel that‘s true, evolution doesn’t equal atheism but many seem to think this. Evolution however doesn’t explain creation or the origin, it only is a rational and logical explanation of how nature adapts to changes in its environment. It doesn’t really matter how God created the universe, what matters is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again so that we now can be forgiven when we accept this free gift. Debating about the reliability of scripture is something Christians can do amongst themselves but it won’t convince non-believers because there are too many voices out there and whom should they believe? Only because we say the bible is true doesn’t necessarily make it so. Therefore it needs a stronger proof. Paul said that he didn’t try to convince people through clever speeches but through the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Signs and wonders are the confirmation that God is with us, the very reason why false prophets like the Antichrist try to imitate them. However nobody can cast out demons and heal the sick unless God is with them. Therefore we Christians need to stop convincing people through arguments alone but proof that God is with us. The very definition of a Witness (Martyr) is someone who is able to proof what he believes.
If an athiest doesn't have sufficient reason to believe that Jesus even existed, then why should we acknowledge the story of his sacrifice for our sins as anything but a story? It's not like we can't appreciate the meaning and the lessons from the story, Anakin Skywalker sacrificed himself to save the galaxy and his son and now is one with the living force, it doesn't mean that he and the rest of Star Wars isn't fiction. Before you say that places referenced in the bible were real, remember that New York city is a real city, it doesn't mean that the Chitauri are confirmed to have invaded new york in 2012. The bible from what we know so far, is just a story and we shouldn't have to treat it anymore than that until we can we have considerable evidence to the contrary.
@@alecmackintosh2734 you couldn’t be more wrong. There is absolute no comparison here. If there were hundreds of witness accounts of Luke Skywalker having been raised from the dead and that he really lived, added to this accounts of people investigating the claims, yes, maybe you would have a point. But you don’t.
@@rightousliving hundreds of people file police reports that they have seen ghosts, does that mean that they are real? Witness testimony if used at all is the least reliable form of evidence, when people say "seeing is believing" they mean themselves seeing it, not someone else.
Ummmm, Ra doesn't know that some of us went from simply believing....to KNOWING that Jesus Christ is alive, well and active. Once a human is born Again through the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit, the Truth Jesus Christ is revealed to us personally. Once this occurs....it's an undeniable real life experience. What the bible says about being given a new heart, the Holy Spirit being our helper, knowing right from wrong, no longer feeling lost and confussed, and desiring what's right is absolutely CORRECT! The problem that athiests have is not am intellectual one, but a spiritual one. If only they would humble themselves to really and truelly seek, and have an open mind, then they should have no problem having a one on one with Jesus and repenting before him in the privacy of their room. Most athiests I know also have a huge pride issue that prevents them from seeking Christ. We need to pray for our athiest friends in hopes that they find Jesus before it's too late. ❤️
There was a couple points in this where Aron is like so close to getting what Cliffe is saying and then he just goes “Nope. Didn’t happen” “that’s a lie” etc and wouldn’t even genuinely engage with it. He holds positions I used to as an atheist. It took a lot for me to become open to the idea. His heart is extremely hardened. He probably had bad experiences with hypocritical religious people, as many of us have had. It’s sad and unfortunate.

Aron has never been punched in the mouth. You don’t talk over people. You let others speak then you speak. That’s how a conversation works . Buddy didn’t let cliffe talk once without interrupting him .
Aron is pretty arrogant. I see why Cliffe gets upset because he has to repeat himself so many times on just one sentence also getting interrupted every other sentence it would bug the day lights out of me.
I laughed when Aron said that Cliffe didn’t make a 2nd point so how can he make a 3rd 😂 if you’d stop talking and listen you might’ve heard it. Yelling is not an argument
trying to disregard all the insults and interrupting, at 41:30 is where I stopped giving Aaron the benefit of the doubt. He says promoting wellbeing/happiness is the standard. when asked who Defines happiness/wellbeing, he says all of humanity universally agrees, yet that can’t be the case bc we have murderers & dictators who’d say otherwise... so obviously not everyone agrees on the definition; how can he not see that his standard is falty. it'd be solid logic if He atleast Agreed that someone defining genocide as true happiness is okay; atleast he'd be consistent in that case, but then it would cause good/evil(heal or kill) to be both legit, both equally moral/immoral and thus meaningless... I'm confused as to how he doesn't see this. To me he seems more occupied with throwing insults than having a solid conversations. If He's frustrated with the repetitiveness, I understand but even We can deal with the repetitive comments and insults yet be quiet enough to let someone finish their point.
The only person who can tell whether YOU are happy or not is YOU. Health and wellbeing can be objectively verified through medical science. So there isn't a one person answer to who defines those things. As to "defining genocide as true happiness" not even people who support genocide believe that. People who support genocide usually defend it on the basis of "Those people are evil or backward and they are getting in our way. So we should get rid of them". It's how the Europeans justified the genocide of the Native Americans for example.
@@elzoog I feel where you’re coming from but respectfully your response to what I said on genocide and happiness, only reiterates my point. That they don’t see what they’re doing to be a bad thing. They see it as a justice- a good thing to be promoted- bc they perceive the other side to be evil.
@@daseanclark5462 "They see it as a justice- a good thing to be promoted- bc they perceive the other side to be evil." So THEY think it's good based on the standard that Aron mentioned. This is one point of evidence that the STANDARD is universal. I notice that you did NOT argue that Pol Pot was NOT trying to apply that standard. You just think that he failed in applying it. By the way, the idea that evil is actually a twisted or incorrect application of good is a CHRISTIAN concept. If you don't believe me, ask any priest who is an eastern rite Catholic, or one of the various forms of Orthodox.
@@elzoog I’ll be honest I’m confused lol. so what you’re saying is.. if they think it’s good to commit genocide- u say this coincides with his standard- but also if we think it’s bad, that also coincides with his standard? doesnt that conclude that both are completely legitimate? That it really doesn’t matter which u choose? Aarons whole point was people universally agree on what happiness/well-being is, but that’s just not true. Idk who Pol Pot is tbh, I’ve heard his name thrown around a lot but never looked into him. And the point about Christianity and evil being a twist of good, I don’t see the relevance to the original point
Like your point was people who commit it don’t view it as genocide but as a necessary good thing rather. But we’d agree genocide is genocide no matter how u justify it, correct?
Aron refuses to allow Cliff to speak. Again Cliff says "I believe " , Aron talks over him with insults. Where's the dialoge? And I'm supposed to believe this is a conversation?
According to Aron's view of reality, human beings are evolved animals, which means that what we refer to as morality, are nothing more than sociobiological traits evolved by our species. What that means is that a person can act in accordance with those traits, or act contrary to them. So to hit someone in the head with a baseball bat would simply be acting out of fashion to our "evolved" traits. And that's it. Evolution does not have a mind to create any standard or laws that one must adhere to. Only evolved traits for our particular species. So atheism does not fit our experience of life, because we are well aware that to hit an innocent person in the head with a bat is absolutely evil, not someone acting out of fashion to evolved traits, which is all evolution can provide. So whatever standard Aron wants to create is irrelevant to reality according to his own worldview.
It's interesting. If you hit your girlfriend in the head with a bat, she will likely not like that and will refuse to have sex with you. Thus, halting the reproduction of human beings. Violence, in many ways, causes an impediment to evolutionary progression. Theistic worldview is based on an ancient book, rife with contradictions and violence and rape, and slavery. It tells us that violence is ok. It also tells us it isn't. Secular morality has very LITTLE if not any contradictions. Any normal person in society knows and understands that hitting someone in the head with a bat for no reason is evil and wrong. I knew that LONG before I even knew what a bible was.
22:40 This is one of the most blatant examples of Science as a religion I've ever heard in my life If evolution is immoral, then transhumanism would be immoral too, because its a result of evolution, so his position isn't even consistent But even if you grant him this, his whole position comes down to "Humans always bad but science make human good" This is just the dumbest form of religion, Aron wants you to believe you're some flawed person who will always be immoral because its in your nature, so you need to give yourself up to technology and then you'll be a better person, and this is the same guy who tells you that having faith makes you an idiot
@@rocknroll1973 There is no misrepresentation there, its what logically follows from what he said My position here doesn't even have anything to do with theism
@@rocknroll1973 The argument is about how there are people who treat it as one, if you don't see the glaring similarities between what Aron said at that timestamp, and how religion functions, there is nothing to discuss here
Open discussion yes, but I haven't heard Cliffe once, because Aron interrupted the whole time. I heard what he said and I looked back at the verses he was referring to. But I would've loved to listen what Cliffe had to say. That's how it suppose to go, bothways.
Watch it again. And again. And again. Watch so many times before you understand what’s going on. Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Aron is literally the stereotypical Reddit Atheist that doesn’t have any arguments besides “it’s wrong and you secretly believe it’s wrong because of these other people (who may or may not be real) who admit it isn’t real” and then badgers his way into breaking down his opponent until they can’t handle debating him anymore. I admire Stuart and Cliffe’s patience, I’d never be able to have a discussion with someone like Aron for more than ten minutes 55:19 thereabout is the perfect example. Just badgering and interrupting Cliffe while he’s trying to make a point. Aron doesn’t listen and isn’t an intellectually honest debater. He doesn’t debate religion in good faith (haha) and, like Stuart has said in a different debate, he’s probably only arguing from unresolved trauma.
@@robertylonen1896where and when are the lies told? Bc this guy throughout the whole hour and 30 minutes just kept repeating “if ur gonna keep lying why are we talking” when in reality there were ZERO objective lies instead only things he doesn’t believe which we have evidence for (which he also rejects…shocker) Listening to him ask questions and then not let anyone answer is deadass worse than nails on a chalkboard
Cliffe has no point to be made he just spouts irrelevant nonsense, that’s the thing about being stupid you don’t realize it but it’s just infuriating for everyone else, conversely Stuart and Aron always have fine conversations, because Stuart is a lot more genuine than his father, and is able to admit when he makes a mistake
ARON IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO Christianity. How dare he say Jesus is fake, just insulted Jesus and all the Christians, Catholics. Aron keeps swearing. Dark side vs the light. Even his room is all dark and he’s drinking a beer. There’s no point debating with Aron because his heart is too hardened. The only way he will believe if something miraculous happened and he’s on his death bed or something.

@@larpy Odd, as few christians, Catholic or Prostestants, read the bible. Most Atheism have read it. In many cases, reading it is a large part of why they are now Atheists.
dwendt44 Maybe not reading it in its context. If you look at how Jesus lived died and rose again and thousands of eyewitness accounts who saw. Have you looked at the evidence of the bible ? Life always comes from life. When have you seen life come from nothing? If we were all an accident their is not objective morals. You cannot say to someone else murder is wrong because in their culture murder could be right. Christians believe in a moral just God that’s why we know what is wrong and right. We have a conscience and soul.
@@larpy Reading it in context is just as bad. There were no witnesses, period. The baseless claim that there was proves nothing other than the dishonesty of the writers. The bible is not evidence. A book of fairy tales at best. The word 'soul' means 'breath' look it up. There is no 'objective' morals. Try citing an example of one. Society, in whole decides morals aside from common sense. The bible supports slavery, condones incest, exemplifies polygamy, advocates child abuse, approves of genocide, and tells believers to kill those who don't believe, or don't believe correctly.
Both sides give very compelling arguments that can challenge both theists and non theists. I dare to say that Aron or Cliffe responding emotionally can help elevate those arguments more poignantly given how firm their stances are. I'm glad they've had multiple discussions for us to observe.
It's pretty clear. We're soul, spirit, flesh. Jesus is the flesh of God, and suffered the world in sacrifice to the Lord. That's what we're to do with our flesh.
@@deanmccrorie3461 is that Rhett Butler? "You're either busy being born or you're busy dying" Either way we are either along for the ride or we care about our direction.

Eventually we will all discover otherwise. I know some of mankinds pursuit is to incorporate man and machine in order to live forever.

Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods._* And here is the evidence as to why I currently hold to such a position. 1. I personally have never observed a god. 2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god. 3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity. 4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists. 5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises. 6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon. 7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._ 8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event. 9. Every phenomena that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity. 10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable. ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of a god. I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstatiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._* I welcome any cordial response. Peace.

Right he didn't even let Cliffe and Stuart get their points out let alone respect the debate by being humble to ppl in which he preaches humanity has self righteous morales found on our own without a God but he cant even build up enough common courtesy to listen. Smh. He insults those who has a different opinion from his. Hes definitely showing what an ignorant atheist looks like. He expresses that Cliffe and Stuart are ignorant to his definitions but has the audacity to attack our Lord and Saviour out of context. Smh pray for this lost sole.

@@Lerian_V Guys, people are going to say that the guy who is like-minded with them is the "winner." Emotion or cussing doesn't make someone a loser or winner. Being flat affect when speaking doesn't make someone a winner or loser. To sit around and make desperate statements about the character is asinine. On the other debate just recently with AronRa, Cliffe, and Stuart, I thought The older Christian gentleman and AronRa BOTH were very passionate and demonstrative, even both getting a little riled up and condescending a few times and the younger Christian guy was more even-keeled in the delivery of his portion of speaking. I didn't think anyone was OVERALL pissed at life and disliked their life. When people do this, they are often projecting their own nonsense. How about we all stay far away and clear from that and what so many are doing on the message board?
Satan has his hands all over Aron. That and I think Aron proves how hateful he truly is when Cliffe says anything. It's absolutely abhorrent how angry he gets, the names he calls Cliffe, and Jesus for that fact. I pray for Aron's soul.
Everybody and everyone always no matter what believes and agrees with everything Aron says. yet for some reason he feels the need to express his opinions and thoughts. make perfect sense.
Cliffe: *starts to come up with a thought* Aron: "no youre wrong lie lie lie wrong" Aron you gotta let him make the point and then dismantle why its wrong. You dont even know what he is getting at
And the Lord! Aaron gets very upset if you disagree with his opinion on things but when you express yours he sings lalalala and disrespectfully not listen to what one has to say cause he think he knows everything. Looks like, sounds like, and probably even smell like an hypocrite.

It hurts my heart to see people belittling others! Aron has moral standards yet he's so disrespectful! I rather follow an "imaginary being" than follow Aron's moral standards! I honestly am so sad for Aron because Hell needs firewood and he seems a good sizable one!
Something else that's ironic....this guy should just wakeup already and live in reality! Aron (/ˈærən/) is a masculine given name and a surname. It is an alternate spelling of Aaron, prominent biblical figure in the Old Testament. The name Aron means Teaching, Singing and is of Hebrew origin. The name means "mountaineer", or "mount of strength".

Man I would be furious if someone talked to me like that in a debate. It’s insane, how can 2 people have an honest intellectual talk, when one side keeps straw-manning you, ignores ur arguments, takes his own emotions and feelings as evidence, clearly hasn’t done much research or even knows his own book that his entire faith is even based on? Why is it usually atheists and agnostics who know the Bible better than they do??? It’s because they actually sat down and read the Bible. 🤣 Keep it up Aaron!! And cliffe too for that matter, he seemed to genuinely consider the arguments and argued in good faith.
Aron is a yelling dude who literally will not stop speaking to let cliffe talk. Guys just yells “I’m right ! You’re wrong!” I’ve heard 3 year olds debate better than Aron. Guy can’t shut his lips for 2 seconds to let anyone talk, that’s a debate ? Nobody got anything out of this debate. Aron is a fraud and manipulator and needs to learn to listen .
Stop wasting your time with prayers. It doesn't work on any ateists, included me. I take that as an insult. And prayers only prove that you are gullible to believe that it works. You are just ridiculous.
Haha, just skip through the whole video and most of what you'll see is Aron interrupting and yelling like an angry disgruntled man, that's about the only sane thing to do when its a debate with Aron, I really don't know why anybody chooses to have the guy on.

Remember that Cliffe talked about how there has to be a standard above culture if he tries to argue that we have to look at biblical violence and slavery with in the context of that time period.
Biblical slavery is way different than slavery in America because in the time of when slavery was done in the Bible. Slavery in the Bible was a choice because the person can sell themselves to a family or someone. Slavery in America was obviously forced on people who didn't want to do it.
Slavery in the biblical time frame was mostly in the context of contractual. Like when you go into the military you sign a 4-5 year contract that you can’t break.

Not allowing Cliffe and Stuart talk shows that Aron is not Open Minded. "The Only reason an atheist never finds God is for the same reason a criminal never finds the Police. He is running away. Atheists are running away from God." ~Cliffe and Stuart ❤😂😅❤
"They'll repeat that same lie the next day".... says the guy who's been corrected on the Biblical meaning of faith repeatedly and refuses to accept it.

Been following cliffe for a while, loved his campus apologetics. But it becomes apparent in this video, he is not that well as calibrated as Stuart when engaging a person who is already convinced intellectually of his own position, with a thousand threads in his Web of belief that you can't possibly untangle without gentleness. I mean I've seen Cliffe's long patience with students. But Aron is beyond intellectual convincing. A friendly relationship with him is the way to go, instead of not willing to be perceived as possibly wrong.
See the difference between how Aron speaks with Cliffe versus Stuart? Stuart wants to have a conversation about beliefs. Cliffe wants to preach about his.

@@dwendt44 he bases his morality on a very subjective point. The intelligence of the animal. He eats beef but not pork because pigs are more intelligent than cows. Very subjective.
Aron is little passionate about his views, but as follower of Christ, Cliffe needs to LISTEN to others better, respond to what they say and not just keep pushing his own points that validate what he wants. I'm a Christian and Cliffe is rude, Stuart on the other hand- very respectable. That's why Aron obviously respected him way more than the hard headed Cliffe. Cliffe, listen bro. Jesus tells us show love. Paul shows us meet them where they at- how can u meet them where they are if u don't even listen, and push only what u want to say. Ur not debating, u vomit ur points! And I really enjoy watching you usually!!!
Cliffe raised Stuart. He isn't full of hate; he's firm, which results in good people. It's good parenting. The issue with this debate was the lack of proper definitions/discipline. Asking a question about someone's beliefs, and responding with, "you're wrong" is rude, no question. Saying, "literally not one person in the world believes that, to a man" when the other guy is saying, "I talk with people who believe this" is rude, no question. It's impossible to defend Aron, and since he cannot define his morality (and didn't, when questioned about what "well-being" meant), it is purposefully left vague in order to allow his morality to shift based on need. That isn't to say Cliffe didn't make mistakes; he did, but the ability to listen is Aron's issue.
Well if he said that, he is wrong, unless you took the phrase out of context. If something causes harm or unnecessary suffering, it should not be permissible. So the reason is not the magic man in the sky who makes fire rain and golems come alive.
@@Convexhull210 because most people doesn't like pain (even masochists won't like it at some degree), suffering is unnecessary. Evolution is no excuse to cause harm, we can cause dogs and cats evolve without damaging them.
I’d be interested to hear what Aron thinks about the countless people who have seen angels, apparitions, and the like. What proof would he have to refute it.
Theo Skeptomai Again, what proof is there to refute it? You can’t find any. The fact that so many people over the centuries have had these experiences is sufficient evidence to that they exist.
Theo Skeptomai The validation comes from the sheer quantity of people who have had these experiences have have written about them. Your can’t disregard that as non-evidence just because you choose not to accept it.
@@bvokey8842 The number of persons making claim does not provide _validation,_ but commonality. Validation comes from public and independent _verification_ demonstrating consistency, accuracy, and authenticity of such reports. Do you agree?

When Aron asserts repeatedly and persistently nobody thinks it's okay to harm someone or hit someone with a cricket bat I really want him to watch David Wood's testimony then come talk to me. You definitely could then argue there's circumstances with mental conditions but look at how abusive a parent can be to a child or a spouse to a spouse and they justify it in their minds saying to themselves they deserve it and I'm the good one
Aron “I like to presuppose my arbitrary worldview and then call other people names for pointing out the fact that it was in fact presupposed, and arbitrary” Ra Unbelievable level of misplaced arrogance and intellectual dishonesty. Just disrespectful.
@Nic B Aron Ra presupposed -flat out 100% assumed- his point/worldview, and then preceded say that it wasn’t presupposed. He did exactly that, and then called them names and was was unnecessarily aggressive at the correction given.

As a non-believer, I've always had great respect for both of you, Cliffe and Stuart. Your arguments are often compelling, and you are both well spoken and charismatic. I feel as though Stuart is genuinely listening to and interacting with non-believers and our objections, whereas sometimes I feel as though Cliffe is more reciting his long-established and pre-rehearsed apologetics, without ever calibrating to (or even acknowledging, much less debating) the very specific objections that are being given. It feels like a pre-recorded sermon or powerpoint, rather than a genuine, in-the-moment conversation.
I love you both so much for putting out videos like this. We need more debates like this. I hope to have the honor of debating you someday, and I hope that I would do it with more respect and tact than Aron did.
any specific objections you can name ? because, I would agree that Cliffe is sometimes a bit rusty, but I would also argue that the "specific objections" are but misunderstanding of well established arguments every apologist is using.

As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one.” “Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; “The poison of asps is under their lips”; “Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.” Destruction and misery are in their ways; And the way of peace they have not known.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

I think this debate should of been cut short when cliffe was called out his name. Cliffe I commend you with how you handled this debate. Stuart you did wonderful also.

If they stopped talking out their ass Aron would hear them out.
You're a person good in debate when you can disagree with the person and still have a civil conversation. Now you know if Aron is good in debate

I learned a long time ago if someone starts saying "no one, everybody, the whole world understands, does, believes or is" does not know what they are talking about. Aron's anger, pain, frustration and hatred for God shows through his inability to have a proper debate. He says im right and your wrong therefore he sees himself as a god thats perfect in his own eyes.
It has to be difficult always being right. Then constantly having to deal with these ignorant people preaching or speaking the same nonsense over and over and over…
He cant hate something that doesn’t exist…
Saying Aron hates god is like saying he hates flying pigs
I’m not sure how your logic doesn’t include the very rule you decided to follow and base your life on. “People that say that or that don’t” is itself a binary approach to understanding the reality of something. Your excluding and not including how each viewpoint has a piece of reality to understand so that we(like the blind men and the elephant story) can realize that it’s not a tree trunk or rope or anything else we can anthropomorphize nature into. Truth is Whole. Any of Truth’s pieces are entangled in other emerging limited truths. Finite vs infinite. Both sides of this conversation describe One thing, I hope you’d agree. Objective Truth is real. If we can see what you can fathom of God in whom you consider your enemy, then I’d know you have an understanding of what I’m trying to point to here. Everything has good and bad, that’s how it can be a thing.

(NASB) or the Message paraphrase of Matthew 12-15 “When you knock on a door, be courteous in your greeting. If they welcome you, be gentle in your conversation. If they don’t welcome you, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.

I applaud Cliff on his patience. I cannot converse with someone who wants to only hear themselves and just cuts off the other person the first time they hear somethingthey disagree with without letting the person get out their entire point. This is why I don't debate.
I will converse untill I'm drowned out. I'll just walk away, which unfortunately is often where people get the "oh they never have an answer for my question, they just turn away when they're asked". No, it's because you won't respectfully let them get their point out.

Well in hell no, becasue hell doesn't exist but he said he would so it's probable that he would.
You don't know that.
The issue with Aron's whole argument is that it's subjective in his own belief. He can say no one wants to harm people and that he puts his moral faith into humanity, but look at history, look at some of the examples he himself brought up.
The issue with him saying that's "objective" is that if he was in a down-trodden area, his look on that would be totally different.
Btw, it DOES NOT say anything about sex slaves. LMAO.
He's generalizing of course. There are a handful of fools that want to hurt people. But generally no.

Great debate. There is room for Aron and Clive to learn from each other, both are very headstrong and equally convinced of what they believe. Aron is a better match for Clive than most of the students I saw him debate in other videos. It will be a far greater challenge for Clive to convince Aron and I do believe he needs to adjust his method to more clearly learn the premise from which Aron comes. As Christians we don’t have to prove that Jesus is God and the bible infallible but we have to find a way to get across the message that Jesus died for our sins and that we can have a personal relationship now with God through the Holy Spirit if we repent and accept the sacrifice. About morality, Aron is right that it is something that does not just arise from evolution but it places a great part in it. God’s morality however is rooted not in evolution but His love for mankind. Only God can foresee the future and therefore the first commandment is to put him first in everything. Human morality is shaky because it doesn’t look far enough from the here and now. Well meaning morality often leads to evil especially when bad things happen and one doesn’t know who or what to blame. However people used to use God to give them justification to do bad things like the witch hunts and many other atrocities of the past. God is also often used as a justification to attack other countries in a so called righteous war like president Bush did when invading Afghanistan. Christianity has gotten a bad name because of misuses like this. Christians often went along with atrocities because they rejected the Holy Spirit not embracing the prophetic gifts thus not able anymore to discern spirits. Demons gained control of Christians because they stopped believing into Demons and the devil, and therefore nobody in church knows anymore how to use authority over them. Healings don’t happen because faith has been reduced to a rattling down of empty prayers and confessions of believe in Jesus but denying the power of God through their lifestyles. Who when sick still goes to the elders to have them pray over them, instead most immediately run to their doctors or chemist which shows how much trust they really have in Jesus. If Christians can’t trust God for healing, how can they trust him for salvation which is a far greater work? Because of the lack of faith amongst Christians they have long stopped being the salt of the earth and are trampled over wherever they go. We need a revival of the Holy Spirit again, because only the Holy Spirit can convict the hearts of people like Aron of sin, righteousness and the coming judgement. That’s what I’m praying because everything else, important as it is we do, won’t do any good unless God is with us.
In a martial arts versus skepticism analogy. Aron has a lot to "lose" image-wise and can maintain his image and ego by "doubling down" and staying off the mat and doubting versus humbling himself, getting on the mat (drawing near) Evolution being true doesn't discount Jesus. See S. Joshua Swamidass on that topic. Evolution or Naturalism doesn't equal atheism. See Alvin Plantiga.
@@MuhammadsMohel that‘s true, evolution doesn’t equal atheism but many seem to think this. Evolution however doesn’t explain creation or the origin, it only is a rational and logical explanation of how nature adapts to changes in its environment. It doesn’t really matter how God created the universe, what matters is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again so that we now can be forgiven when we accept this free gift. Debating about the reliability of scripture is something Christians can do amongst themselves but it won’t convince non-believers because there are too many voices out there and whom should they believe? Only because we say the bible is true doesn’t necessarily make it so. Therefore it needs a stronger proof. Paul said that he didn’t try to convince people through clever speeches but through the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. Signs and wonders are the confirmation that God is with us, the very reason why false prophets like the Antichrist try to imitate them. However nobody can cast out demons and heal the sick unless God is with them. Therefore we Christians need to stop convincing people through arguments alone but proof that God is with us. The very definition of a Witness (Martyr) is someone who is able to proof what he believes.
If an athiest doesn't have sufficient reason to believe that Jesus even existed, then why should we acknowledge the story of his sacrifice for our sins as anything but a story? It's not like we can't appreciate the meaning and the lessons from the story, Anakin Skywalker sacrificed himself to save the galaxy and his son and now is one with the living force, it doesn't mean that he and the rest of Star Wars isn't fiction. Before you say that places referenced in the bible were real, remember that New York city is a real city, it doesn't mean that the Chitauri are confirmed to have invaded new york in 2012. The bible from what we know so far, is just a story and we shouldn't have to treat it anymore than that until we can we have considerable evidence to the contrary.
@@alecmackintosh2734 you couldn’t be more wrong. There is absolute no comparison here. If there were hundreds of witness accounts of Luke Skywalker having been raised from the dead and that he really lived, added to this accounts of people investigating the claims, yes, maybe you would have a point. But you don’t.
@@rightousliving hundreds of people file police reports that they have seen ghosts, does that mean that they are real? Witness testimony if used at all is the least reliable form of evidence, when people say "seeing is believing" they mean themselves seeing it, not someone else.
Aron seems calm when Staurt is talking but as soon as Cliffe comes on he starts raging
Ummmm, Ra doesn't know that some of us went from simply believing....to KNOWING that Jesus Christ is alive, well and active. Once a human is born Again through the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit, the Truth Jesus Christ is revealed to us personally. Once this occurs....it's an undeniable real life experience. What the bible says about being given a new heart, the Holy Spirit being our helper, knowing right from wrong, no longer feeling lost and confussed, and desiring what's right is absolutely CORRECT! The problem that athiests have is not am intellectual one, but a spiritual one. If only they would humble themselves to really and truelly seek, and have an open mind, then they should have no problem having a one on one with Jesus and repenting before him in the privacy of their room. Most athiests I know also have a huge pride issue that prevents them from seeking Christ. We need to pray for our athiest friends in hopes that they find Jesus before it's too late. ❤️
Cliffe, your patience and grace from God here is a wonderful example to all believers confronted by antagonistic opposition today. Praise God.
There was a couple points in this where Aron is like so close to getting what Cliffe is saying and then he just goes “Nope. Didn’t happen” “that’s a lie” etc and wouldn’t even genuinely engage with it. He holds positions I used to as an atheist. It took a lot for me to become open to the idea. His heart is extremely hardened. He probably had bad experiences with hypocritical religious people, as many of us have had. It’s sad and unfortunate.

Varsity S. it’s a good thing the bible isn’t a replacement for the DSM-V. Holy shit. Quoting scripture is just another way to gaslight from cryptic authority.
Aron has never been punched in the mouth. You don’t talk over people. You let others speak then you speak. That’s how a conversation works . Buddy didn’t let cliffe talk once without interrupting him .
Aron is pretty arrogant. I see why Cliffe gets upset because he has to repeat himself so many times on just one sentence also getting interrupted every other sentence it would bug the day lights out of me.
I laughed when Aron said that Cliffe didn’t make a 2nd point so how can he make a 3rd 😂 if you’d stop talking and listen you might’ve heard it. Yelling is not an argument
trying to disregard all the insults and interrupting, at 41:30 is where I stopped giving Aaron the benefit of the doubt. He says promoting wellbeing/happiness is the standard. when asked who Defines happiness/wellbeing, he says all of humanity universally agrees, yet that can’t be the case bc we have murderers & dictators who’d say otherwise... so obviously not everyone agrees on the definition; how can he not see that his standard is falty. it'd be solid logic if He atleast Agreed that someone defining genocide as true happiness is okay; atleast he'd be consistent in that case, but then it would cause good/evil(heal or kill) to be both legit, both equally moral/immoral and thus meaningless... I'm confused as to how he doesn't see this. To me he seems more occupied with throwing insults than having a solid conversations. If He's frustrated with the repetitiveness, I understand but even We can deal with the repetitive comments and insults yet be quiet enough to let someone finish their point.
The only person who can tell whether YOU are happy or not is YOU. Health and wellbeing can be objectively verified through medical science. So there isn't a one person answer to who defines those things. As to "defining genocide as true happiness" not even people who support genocide believe that. People who support genocide usually defend it on the basis of "Those people are evil or backward and they are getting in our way. So we should get rid of them". It's how the Europeans justified the genocide of the Native Americans for example.
@@elzoog I feel where you’re coming from but respectfully your response to what I said on genocide and happiness, only reiterates my point. That they don’t see what they’re doing to be a bad thing. They see it as a justice- a good thing to be promoted- bc they perceive the other side to be evil.
@@daseanclark5462 "They see it as a justice- a good thing to be promoted- bc they perceive the other side to be evil."
So THEY think it's good based on the standard that Aron mentioned. This is one point of evidence that the STANDARD is universal. I notice that you did NOT argue that Pol Pot was NOT trying to apply that standard. You just think that he failed in applying it.
By the way, the idea that evil is actually a twisted or incorrect application of good is a CHRISTIAN concept. If you don't believe me, ask any priest who is an eastern rite Catholic, or one of the various forms of Orthodox.
@@elzoog I’ll be honest I’m confused lol. so what you’re saying is.. if they think it’s good to commit genocide- u say this coincides with his standard- but also if we think it’s bad, that also coincides with his standard?
doesnt that conclude that both are completely legitimate? That it really doesn’t matter which u choose? Aarons whole point was people universally agree on what happiness/well-being is, but that’s just not true.
Idk who Pol Pot is tbh, I’ve heard his name thrown around a lot but never looked into him. And the point about Christianity and evil being a twist of good, I don’t see the relevance to the original point
Like your point was people who commit it don’t view it as genocide but as a necessary good thing rather.
But we’d agree genocide is genocide no matter how u justify it, correct?
Aron refuses to allow Cliff to speak. Again Cliff says "I believe " , Aron talks over him with insults. Where's the dialoge? And I'm supposed to believe this is a conversation?
stuart is too nice, would love to see sam shamoun humble aron on the trinity in the bible
Perversion of bible passages and slandering God is the mentality of people like this atheist. We still love them and pray for them.
According to Aron's view of reality, human beings are evolved animals, which means that what we refer to as morality, are nothing more than sociobiological traits evolved by our species. What that means is that a person can act in accordance with those traits, or act contrary to them. So to hit someone in the head with a baseball bat would simply be acting out of fashion to our "evolved" traits. And that's it. Evolution does not have a mind to create any standard or laws that one must adhere to. Only evolved traits for our particular species.
So atheism does not fit our experience of life, because we are well aware that to hit an innocent person in the head with a bat is absolutely evil, not someone acting out of fashion to evolved traits, which is all evolution can provide. So whatever standard Aron wants to create is irrelevant to reality according to his own worldview.
It's interesting. If you hit your girlfriend in the head with a bat, she will likely not like that and will refuse to have sex with you. Thus, halting the reproduction of human beings. Violence, in many ways, causes an impediment to evolutionary progression.
Theistic worldview is based on an ancient book, rife with contradictions and violence and rape, and slavery. It tells us that violence is ok. It also tells us it isn't. Secular morality has very LITTLE if not any contradictions. Any normal person in society knows and understands that hitting someone in the head with a bat for no reason is evil and wrong. I knew that LONG before I even knew what a bible was.
Yes. And don't forget the hate preachers who think homosexuals should be rounded up and shot in the back of the head.

Aaron ra is a beast 💪💪
Aron's definition are more superior than anyone else's ever throughout history.
Aron is literally the stereotypical Reddit Atheist that doesn’t have any arguments besides “it’s wrong and you secretly believe it’s wrong because of these other people (who may or may not be real) who admit it isn’t real” and then badgers his way into breaking down his opponent until they can’t handle debating him anymore. I admire Stuart and Cliffe’s patience, I’d never be able to have a discussion with someone like Aron for more than ten minutes
55:19 thereabout is the perfect example. Just badgering and interrupting Cliffe while he’s trying to make a point. Aron doesn’t listen and isn’t an intellectually honest debater. He doesn’t debate religion in good faith (haha) and, like Stuart has said in a different debate, he’s probably only arguing from unresolved trauma.
Yea dude, when someone is constantly making incredibly dumb arguments that are based on absolutely nothing but lies. I would interrupt that shit too.
@@robertylonen1896where and when are the lies told? Bc this guy throughout the whole hour and 30 minutes just kept repeating “if ur gonna keep lying why are we talking” when in reality there were ZERO objective lies instead only things he doesn’t believe which we have evidence for (which he also rejects…shocker) Listening to him ask questions and then not let anyone answer is deadass worse than nails on a chalkboard
Cliffe has no point to be made he just spouts irrelevant nonsense, that’s the thing about being stupid you don’t realize it but it’s just infuriating for everyone else, conversely Stuart and Aron always have fine conversations, because Stuart is a lot more genuine than his father, and is able to admit when he makes a mistake
@@MKSAMA. the word evidence and Christian sound ironically incredibly funny together :D
come back with with an argument@@robertylonen1896
ARON IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO Christianity. How dare he say Jesus is fake, just insulted Jesus and all the Christians, Catholics. Aron keeps swearing. Dark side vs the light. Even his room is all dark and he’s drinking a beer. There’s no point debating with Aron because his heart is too hardened. The only way he will believe if something miraculous happened and he’s on his death bed or something.
Catholics insult Jesus also.
repent and follow Jesus True! Some Catholics follow Jesus too though. So it depends. I guess they worship Mary a lot and the Catholics I know don’t read the bible.
@@larpy Odd, as few christians, Catholic or Prostestants, read the bible. Most Atheism have read it. In many cases, reading it is a large part of why they are now Atheists.
dwendt44 Maybe not reading it in its context. If you look at how Jesus lived died and rose again and thousands of eyewitness accounts who saw. Have you looked at the evidence of the bible ? Life always comes from life. When have you seen life come from nothing? If we were all an accident their is not objective morals. You cannot say to someone else murder is wrong because in their culture murder could be right. Christians believe in a moral just God that’s why we know what is wrong and right. We have a conscience and soul.
@@larpy Reading it in context is just as bad. There were no witnesses, period. The baseless claim that there was proves nothing other than the dishonesty of the writers. The bible is not evidence. A book of fairy tales at best.
The word 'soul' means 'breath' look it up. There is no 'objective' morals. Try citing an example of one. Society, in whole decides morals aside from common sense.
The bible supports slavery, condones incest, exemplifies polygamy, advocates child abuse, approves of genocide, and tells believers to kill those who don't believe, or don't believe correctly.
Both sides give very compelling arguments that can challenge both theists and non theists. I dare to say that Aron or Cliffe responding emotionally can help elevate those arguments more poignantly given how firm their stances are. I'm glad they've had multiple discussions for us to observe.
In genesis God refers to himself as “we” that’s what convinced me Jesus Christ is God.
It's pretty clear. We're soul, spirit, flesh. Jesus is the flesh of God, and suffered the world in sacrifice to the Lord. That's what we're to do with our flesh.

Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods._*
And here is the evidence as to why I currently hold to such a position.
1. I personally have never observed a god.
2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god.
3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity.
4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists.
5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises.
6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon.
7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._
8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event.
9. Every phenomena that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity.
10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable.
ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of a god.
I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstatiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._*
I welcome any cordial response. Peace.
I have seen, touched and talked to God. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

On the other debate just recently with AronRa, Cliffe, and Stuart, I thought The older Christian gentleman and AronRa BOTH were very passionate and demonstrative, even both getting a little riled up and condescending a few times and the younger Christian guy was more even-keeled in the delivery of his portion of speaking.

Everybody and everyone always no matter what believes and agrees with everything Aron says. yet for some reason he feels the need to express his opinions and thoughts. make perfect sense.

Remember that Cliffe talked about how there has to be a standard above culture if he tries to argue that we have to look at biblical violence and slavery with in the context of that time period.
Biblical slavery is way different than slavery in America because in the time of when slavery was done in the Bible. Slavery in the Bible was a choice because the person can sell themselves to a family or someone. Slavery in America was obviously forced on people who didn't want to do it.
Slavery in the biblical time frame was mostly in the context of contractual. Like when you go into the military you sign a 4-5 year contract that you can’t break.

A friendly relationship with him is the way to go, instead of not willing to be perceived as possibly wrong.

Aron is little passionate about his views, but as follower of Christ, Cliffe needs to LISTEN to others better, respond to what they say and not just keep pushing his own points that validate what he wants. I'm a Christian and Cliffe is rude, Stuart on the other hand- very respectable. That's why Aron obviously respected him way more than the hard headed Cliffe. Cliffe, listen bro. Jesus tells us show love. Paul shows us meet them where they at- how can u meet them where they are if u don't even listen, and push only what u want to say. Ur not debating, u vomit ur points! And I really enjoy watching you usually!!!
Cliffe raised Stuart. He isn't full of hate; he's firm, which results in good people. It's good parenting. The issue with this debate was the lack of proper definitions/discipline. Asking a question about someone's beliefs, and responding with, "you're wrong" is rude, no question. Saying, "literally not one person in the world believes that, to a man" when the other guy is saying, "I talk with people who believe this" is rude, no question. It's impossible to defend Aron, and since he cannot define his morality (and didn't, when questioned about what "well-being" meant), it is purposefully left vague in order to allow his morality to shift based on need. That isn't to say Cliffe didn't make mistakes; he did, but the ability to listen is Aron's issue.
