Wow. I tear up at the end. Beautiful sermon. Jesus is full of truth and grace. We all are hypocrites and We all need a savior. Thank you Jesus for your sacrificial love. What a great reminder of the gospel. Thank you 🙏🏿💯
Jesus is the only way to salvation. You can believe and live forever or disbelieve and reject salvation for yourself. You choose that you are unwilling to receive eternal life, then I guess you're FREE to reject life and choose death.
@@charleshenderson913 Not being convinced of religious claims from the Bronze Age is not a choice, nor does it mean you desire punishment for all eternity. Enough with the ignorant gaslighting tactics already.
For all those thats saying you’ll only believe God or Jesus unless you him, I say, even if he showed up in front of you and doing miracles in front of your face you will still not believe. It is ok to admit the truth.
This is a classic tactic of those who can't present credible evidence but still want to claim that they are right. The truth is demonstrable, so go ahead and demonstrate.
That's true. The same thing about evidence. You can give evidence after evidence about something and people will still ignore it. That's because they don't want it to be true. But it's still true.
Not so. People don't CHOOSE to be atheist. They are atheists because they don't see any evidence for the existence of a God and believe that everything has a natural explanation as opposed to a supernatural one, even when such a natural explanation is not (yet) understood. Believing in God and an afterlife must be of tremendous comfort to any believer and so many atheists probably wish that they did believe in God and would therefore welcome evidence to prove that God exists. It's like a child who learns that Santa Claus doesn't really exist; they might still wish that he did exist. I'm an atheist because I see no evidence for the existence of God and instead believe that everything has a natural cause. Just because I don't understand where the universe came from (assuming it was not always there in some form or other), doesn't mean it must have been made by an old man in the sky using magic. Similarly, just because I don't know how life originally started (as opposed to evolved from that beginning), doesn't mean that it must have been created by a creator. It just means I don't know. There's no shame in admitting you don't know something and there's no need to invent some fairytale story about magicians living in the sky to explain such things.
Thank you Dr. Turek for your discussion on morality. I was blessed to attend this particular discussion. Thanks for making this happen Dr. Chip Bennett.
@@Demopans5990 Repent and turn to Jesus Christ he is the way, the truth, and the Life. Allah is false. In the Koran, it says in Sura 5 verse 67 to 69," O people of the book, you have no ground to stand on (No argument) until you follow the Torah and the Gospel and what has been revealed to you by your Lord." if the Koran is saying that the Gospel and Torah is from God then that means the Koran is false because the bible never mentions the Koran. Allahs word can never be changed also so if he's saying that the Bible is a revelation from him then it cannot be corrupted. Jesus' name in the koran is al-Masih meaning the Messiah. Jesus is also sinless in the koran and Muhammed was sinful.
I like listening to you frank it helps me a lot and I show my kids also to help them thank u for all you do for telling the truth about God and also how to treat others in this society a lot of issues I’m struggling with
The only way to show you know truth is by evidence. Turek's arguments here all commit well-known logical errors (and bad logic isn't evidence). For example the Moral argument is two baseless claims: that (A) objective moral values exist and (B) if they do, they're best explained by a god. No evidence of those claims is ever presented (in fact when theists try, _usually_ they're appealing to the feelings/opinions/tastes of people. But it's those things -- feelings, opinions, and tastes -- _that make something subjective!_ )
@@majm4606 Hold on why do yo as an atheist, believe in morality, and morality doesn't have any scientific evidence, and yet you believe that morals exist
@@majm4606 How can morality be subjective ? It's nonsensical to believe that. Morality is objective because we have a moral law giver. That's not a logical fallacy at all.
@@Oatmealt 1. Morality is defined as, _"principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior."_ So because I think it's wrong to behead apostates and a particular Muslim disagrees, that demonstrates subjective moral values exist. 2. By contrast you haven't demonstrated a single objective moral value. Instead you repeated the same exact logical fallacy that Turek just made twice: you said _without evidence_ that "we have a moral lawgiver"). 3. We have evidence of everything we actually know. It sounds like you're confusing (A) real things we say exist vs. (B) abstract things which are only ideas (and so if we say they exist, we're only saying _they exist as ideas in a mind, and that's it._ )

Frank really is doing something for the Kingdom of Jesus. He is really show how bad of an argument and how little evidence Christians really have for the god they believe in. I feel Frank has done a ton to move the younger generation away from religion and Christianity.
A faith based "objective" standard???? Please.... All Turek has done is murdered the meaning of objective. What is the difference between your individual personal faith and your individual personal opinion? Not a thing, nada, zip. At the end of the day, your individual personal choice of faith is exercising your individual personal opinion. Are you surprised at the internal contradiction, the hypocrisy? Why? Isn't that what Turek opened his little talk with? Then why are you surprised that is exactly what he served up with his faith based "objective" standard?
There came a time when they no longer asked him questions. The reason for "morality" questions is because it's inherent...their guilt from acts they knew they were not to do. The law opposed to them he nailed to the cross for it was them who nailed him there. "Whatever you did to the least of these you did to me." When did they no longer need to ask him any questions? Selah
I am a being of light, & a humble hearted individual, & so I take this opportunity to share. The conception of a God has puzzled me since I was a child. I know what I feel, & I know what is wrong. What comes from my heart is true, what comes from my head is misconstrued as selfish & immoral, judged by “true God believers”. So there in lies the crux of how a religion can condemn, damn, subjugate, deify, scorn, misunderstand, & alienate the true believers, of Love. Belief in oneself is Love, not believing in a construct of omnipotence, by other humans that act to control in the name if “the One”. We are the “One”, every concentration of light & energy regardless of form that shares space between our consciousness. We sacrifice our True selves by misconstruing the outer God to our original experience. Be a Being of Light from the Heart. Heads & Religion may guide You, yet no One can make it real for You. Only You, by You, for You. Think for You & no longer be a sheep, asleep. Being of Light, Love, & Laughter. If God is watching, how laughable are we to subjectify our True reason for being. Even the concept of reason is relative to our just being here. We are here for eachother. My best friend grew up in church, had a concept of relation to God, found that we are all smarter than we are & ascended to knowing that before we exist there is nothing, & when we cease to exist we are nothing. No-thing. Quite simple & never misconstrued with ideology of control outside of our own making. I find a connection to Other’s through resonance. Every One’s energy is how we relate. It’s all relative. Find Your Heart, what Relates & Gravitate to. I am, always, Love.
Dr. Frank I was asked this in class today..... If the Garden of Eden was only good and perfect how did the serpent get in ? Im stuck with for an answer..
I have a thought on this although I don't know if this is the correct answer but consider this, when did sin enter Satan's heart? We know he is a fallen Angel so at some point he has to be made good but lose his way. If he was in the garden to begin with he was probably there as some type of Guardian Angel. Have a read of Ezekial 28:11-19. There is a bit of debate if this verse is referencing Satan or not but if it is then it hints that Satan would be in the garden as a Guardian Cherub who while being away from the Throne of God became infatuated with his own beauty and became obsessed with splendor which led to sin taking over his heart. Perhaps convincing Eve to take the fruit was Satan's first act of Sin, the first time anyone ever dared to test God's boundaries.
2:38 If the universe had a beginning, that just means it had a beginning, not that there was or is a beginner. The cosmological argument only shows that the universe had to have a start point, not that any being caused the start.
If it had to have a start it had to have a beginner. I’m a computer programmer and you can’t write code without a coder. Someone has to write the code. The cosmological argument also goes in with the teleological argument which one of the top physicist in the world Stephen Hawking affirms that the universe is highly designed well we know that only persons can make decisions and so we know that through evidence there is many things that are highly designed.
@@dannyreborn Things happen without a mind interfering all the time. DNA is not a code, it is a chemical construct. As far as I am aware, Stephen Hawking never stated he thought the universe was actually designed.
He affirms the fine tuning of the universe,” if the expansion rate of the Big Bang was one part in thousand, million, million. A second after the Big Bang, the universe would have collapsed or never developed galaxies.” He said the expansion rate started at that point and didn’t evolve to a particular point. So the universe he affirms it to be highly designed
@@dannyreborn We do not actually know if it could have happened any different, We just have a rough Idea of what happened.Even if it could have gone differently, It did not. Neither case, it being able to have gone different or not, shows any evidence of a guiding intelligence.
@@dannyreborn That is not affirming the fine tuning of the universe. The only thing it does is saying that there is a very small window of optimal expansion rate. He is NOT saying it was in any way set, tinkered with or had any outside influence. And most definitely, NOTHING TO DO WITH DESIGN
Cosmological Argument: Fails to actually reach the conclusion that a god exists, and relies on logic, which is derived from our local reality; therefore, using it to make inferences about pre-reality doesn't make sense. Teleological: Defines everything as designed, making it impossible to distinguish between design and non-designed. To conclude there's a designer is equivalent to saying there is no designer. Also, there's just no evidence backing the claim that nature or the cosmos or reality as a whole is designed. Moral: Morality, though held as important to humanity, is really rather vague. But if we're just referring to determining what actions we should or should not be allowed to do, we can objectively determine that via proper reasoning. To present a being (deity) as the cause of existence, capable of bending reality to its will, is to undermine any objective basis for morality; as morality (and logic as a whole) would just be the whim of said deity. But even setting aside proper reasoning, there are obvious, 'common sense' moral principles that are just necessary for any social creature. If everyone is a rampaging lunatic, then there wouldn't be anyone left to ponder morality in the first place: the moral version of the sentient puddle analogy.
You said nothing is designed do you realize the endless possibilities of how if the world was just a little different in any way we could all be dead Ex metors , if air was toxic to us the amount of conscience it would have to be its im the billions its not luck that you are here right now God made you
@@Zofitness_4 The world could easily be different and support life. Not only can it be different, it has been. The air has been toxic to a lot of current life. Arguably, Earth isn't even as optimal as it could be. Honestly, why would an all powerful, all knowing being even put us on a planet at all?
Though with the Gospel-the power of God we can be perfect: Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, See, Jesus can keep you from falling:>
The inference is not only that morality provides the existence of God, but that morality is despatched to us by God alone. If you follow that logic then the desire or choice to hate, kill, murder and rape is in that consignment too. Why does it have to be that way? Because God is omnipotent, and that means anything is possible. That can mean a moral person acts only by way of divine instruction, regardless of his absence or unrevealed state to some of us. Morality isn't a divine operating traders contract...it is simply an Idea that you treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
If this doesn't give an example of innate goodness and morality that is by design put into us by God I don't know what does. This can't be taught at this age it is in us because someone designed us to be loving in this way. God! If you are hurt by something in life and are mad at God talk to him he can't make it right if you don't give him the chance! I challenge all of you atheists. There is pain at the heart of your disregard for HIM. But he loves you just the same!
If morality was put into us by a god, parents wouldn’t have to teach children right from wrong, they would know it from birth, and serial killers and psychopaths wouldn’t exist.
And we know the dog, btw right & wrong bc of Jn. 1:9-11 & that’s why Rom1:21,22 is true & man is accountable & responsible for his actions… contrary to catholic calvinism❤
Can anyone answer-- there is no shadow without light. But Isn't shadow just darkness... and you cant have light without darkness. Trying to wrap my mind around this. Light has no meaning if there is no darkness.
Light is not created... Space is created where God has limited His Light... Darkness is limited but Light is infinite... We see that Light is limited because we live in the same space where God has limited His Light... Therefore, in our point of view we feel that darkness is what it is and Light is created... God created The Heaven or in our word The Space... And in The Space He limited His Light which resulted in darkness... But in out space where God is... it's full of Light 😂 I know I am not able to explain properly because I am a limited human being

@PaulByrne-w8l So the Temple is the human body, right? Just like the Spirit inside Yeshua, right? Not building, right? His kingdom is not from this world, right? EKKLESIA means people reunited, gathered, with a purpose, right? So, the YESHUA's EKKLESIA has His purpose and manners, right? Because we must be temples of His SAMEB Spirit, so we can do things in His name, right? Hmmmm You've mentioned some verses from the Bible without any knowledge and context. Please, stop parroting verses. All you can get is "religious mind" tag. Yeshua was pointing to the most importante revelation of the entire Bible: WHO was there when they could see, touch, listen the man called YESHUA. The Bible will become a lot clearer for you when you receive this same revelation. Shimeon Baryonnah (Peter) and all other could not understand that at that moment, too. And they were living with "Jesus" every day... ....and where the religion is part of it? ....oh, I know that, I know it... Using the people, being called hypocrites and a brood of vipers (the only group - gender, class, position, professional activity, conduct, behavior, character - of people so called by the Creator and His true representatives) and killing The Messiah... ...I see... And then, the first students of the Creator in the flesh were killed by people of what activity? Let me see... ...AH! Yes!!! ...religious, again... (ouch!) Look, you're probably right... ...stay in one religion and you will have the majority as company... ...that will give you a sense of security and the idea that you must be on the right path. But if you truly read your Bible, without the influence of religious people, you will realize that all those who were freed and saved by the Creator in the flesh, in fact, left their beliefs, values, traditions and worldviews, not to join another religion. They left for the freedom that only Yeshua, only Jesus, the Creator in the flesh, can give us. To live like HIM, loving others like HIM, teaching goodness, like HIM, carrying His SAME Spirit inside, being a BODY for Him...
3:25 it mentions the moral argument. there is no evidence to show that morals come from a singular source. none. All the evidence shows that morality is only ever derived from what a person values and is therefore derived from subjectivity.
My biggest problem is that people who are prideful and ignorant think that are beyond God. I promise you this you will see the truth in this life God has given you or the afterlife. I choose to follow the truth now I’m not going to wait till my death bed where I was at several times but Jesus told me my work is not done. Thank you Frank! Keep telling the truth. Jesus is God end of discussion no debate.
. "Truth" is demonstrated dear not asserted, its that which best conforms with the FACTS and EVIDENCE and has nothing whatsoever to do with "faith" Knowledge of FACTS, also called "propositional knowledge", is defined as true belief that is distinct from opinion or guesswork by virtue of justification. A "FACT" is a point of data that is objectively verifiable ( demonstrable ) Absent "Facts" one has only the opinion or guesswork and no justification to claim such knowledge. Science has all the FACTS yet claims nothing as "absolute" truth. Christianity conversely claims absolute truth in everything yet has no FACTS 😜 Perhaps it would be best if you just go back to your colouring book and leave these discussions to the adults dear.
There is a verse if I remember right it's in thessalonians talking about the antichrist opposing and exalting himself above all that is called God and worshipped sitting in a temple claiming that he is God..they do reject God alot of them are lukewarm and God is not lying about anything especially judgement day so unbelievers or lukewarm believers will definitely see then but it will be too late...There are plenty of verses I think of for people that want to debate against the christian faith the bible Jesus etc I don't want to be these people come judgement day as Jesus said whoever rejects me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him the words that I have spoken the same will judge them in the last day( judgement day)...When Jesus get the angel to throw them in the lake of fire forever it's gonna be too late as the word of God tells us there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth...
If a band is performing a song from your favorite band and they are doing a good job. You aren’t going to blame your favorite artist. You are going to blame the band that is representing you’re favorite artist by playing that song. So it’s the same as Martin Luther and God don’t blame Christians because we are all hypocrites and don’t live up to Christ Standard you have to follow Christ.
@@dannyreborn like I said, how do you know what’s “God’s opinion”. We are not actually talking about hearing something directly from “God” himself, now are we? We are reading stories about stories. So how to know what’s the truth. And the problem is: you believe one thing, Martin Luther the next, Pope Urban VI something else. So not exactly comparable to your story about a band we can actually hear and it coverband. However, you did touch on an analogy there: like with a band and it’s cover songs, different people will like different versions.
You don’t actually regard cover bands to the highest standard as your favorite artist. I meant to say if they play the song bad and they do a bad representation. You’re not going to blame you’re favorite band. Also, that is Roman Catholicism and I don’t believe in that. The pope does not actually say or do what the Bible says as far as what I’ve seen or any priest. They operate off of hierarchy and nowhere is that found in the Bible to run a church. And we know Gods opinion because to create a highly designed universe you need a person who is intelligent and can make personable decisions. If you have a immaterial, personable, space less, timeless, being then he would obviously want to communicate with his creation. Therefore alligns best with his nature then that’s how we know his opinion. Robert jastrow a very famous cosmologist (an agnostic ) who doesn’t even believe in God said that scientifically the Bible aligns with scientific creation. Then we know Gods opinion through his word.
@@dannyreborn good to know you are one of very few people who has the correct interpretation of “Gods word”. Obviously, I have no idea how, as the word salad was hardly an answer. “Therefore aligns best with his nature”? What’s that supposed to mean? Just to be sure, you state you have a better understanding of what “God” wants, than for example the popes (church leaders) and people like Martin Luther, one of the founders of Protestantism? So if they’ve got it wrong, what is correct? Do you hear voices?
@@hamster4618 no we know Gods opinion through scripture. In John it says,”In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God. He was God in the beginning. So through his word we know his opinion. I don’t know every action Martin Luther took but if it aligns with Gods word and his commandments. Then that’s how we know Gods opinion. Because God will not contradict himself if he is all powerful.

@@bisbeekid you’re assuming everything needs to be designed. Also the only things that do need design are material things. If something is immaterial it cannot be designed. We Christian’s say the universe needs designer because the universe is not eternal & began to exist based off the evidence therefore it needs a designer since it began to exist. We also know that there must be something that eternally exists because if something cannot come from nothing, and something does exist, then there must’ve always been a something. Otherwise you’d have to believe that out the blue something can just appear from nothing.
Morality is the result of human behaviour evolving over time when people come together to live in groups and tribes. Very simply good behaviour that benefits the group is rewarded. Bad behaviour disrupt group cohesion is punished. For god sake it’s as simple and as logical as that. You don’t need a god send genius to interprete that on behalf of an MIA omnipotent being.
It´s weird, because Jesus behaviour is considered to be "good", but yet he was killed by the "group".

@@realtalkwithphil Well you're the one acting like they're right by ignoring the main points and distracting to something irrelevant. Worse, your point isn't even good because (for example) nobody who says "god damn" seriously thinks they're asking an actual god to damn something when they say that. It's just a saying. The most common reason people distract off topic is when they want to simply _ignore what other other side said,_ especially when when they made good points you can't address.

The issue is that atheists do not live out their “beliefs”. A true atheist is an anarchist. Everything is meaningless and relative so they shouldn’t obey any laws or boundaries of any kind. But many still do… that’s the issue. Logically inconsistent and intellectually dishonest. And if one atheist chooses to live a “good” life (even tho they can’t define good) they can’t object to another person, atheist or not, for doing “evil”.
That’s not the world we live in there’s a right and wrong. If right and wrong was just about opinions then murders, rapist shouldn’t get arrest because they have decided it’s not wrong to kill or force someone.
A quote from the "Holy Bible": 1 Samuel 15:3: " Saul, king of the Israelites, (Gods Chosen People), is told by Sky God Yahuvah via a "prophet" named Samuel, >>> “Now go, attack Amalek, and destroy, and kill all that belongs to them. Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings, oxen and sheep, camels and asses!”
( ｀ー´) This is the artistic proof that the universe was created. When you paint a shadow its the opposite color of the object that made the shadow. Nobody knew what the opposite color of white is so the artists avoided painting white on white. The opposite color of white is baby blue and baby pink.

Morality is not developed and given to each human by god, or pre-existing divine developed standard. Morality is developed in each human at early age by social norms, unwritten and written laws that exist at certain time in certain cultures.

The fatal flaw in Turek's argument is that there is nothing "objectively moral" about God. The notion that God is the ultimate "good" is just a subjective human definition of what we would like or hope God to be, if he existed. Turek says morality is the "best" argument for the existence of God, but it is no argument at all. We don't get our sense of moral right and wrong from God. If we did, we would still believe slavery was perfectly fine.
@@araenasanchez That is indeed true. But most of western culture has moved beyond it due to some moral instinct against it that cannot be attributed to God.
Is it subjective? Kind of funny how the things we describe as ‘good’ tend to lead to greater survivability for the whole of humanity. It’s as if things that are good lead to life that flourishes. When you align with the design of reality, things tend to be better for you and those around you. That’s not really debatable and refutes that it’s just ‘wishful thinking’.
I don’t have enough imagination to believe in gods, demons, zombies or angels, garden gnomes coming to life at night, pixies or werewolves. Not to mention the first part of the bible isn’t exactly inspiring when it comes to morality, as the practices are heinous.
Think of it this way... just because you don't believe in the Sun, doesn't make it any less real. You've never seen the planet Pluto in person, but that doesn't mean it's not still out there. Stephen C Meyer, PHD stated it this way, "If it's true there's a beginning to the universe, as modern cosmologists now agree, then this implies a cause that transcends the universe. If the laws of physics are fine-tuned to permit life, as contemporary physicists are discovering, then perhaps there's a designer who fine-tuned them. If there's information in the cell, as molecular biology shows, then this suggests intelligent design. To get life going in the first place would have required biological information; the implications point beyond the material realm to a prior intelligent cause."
@@jesuslovesyou37 but I sure can see the sun. Unlike any supposed god, let alone your specific “God”. As for the “fine tuning” argument, I would say it’s evidence for no god. If a supposed God who supposedly created the earth for humans, created the whole universe with it, it did a poor job of over-dimensioning the universe. A vast space utterly useless for human habitation, while creating a speck of a planet in which humans, of which, once more most surface area is not habitable. In addition, that area that is habitable is already used up for 50% for agricultural purposes; and that in (according to the bible) just a couple of generations. An earth that is overcrowded by humans who are rapidly going through all recourses, degrading top soil, leaving their plastics all over the place and toxins in quantities harmful for humans. Not to mention it is utterly weird and kinda sick he would have created the whole vast, limitless universe, with an uncountable number of stars, yet he managed no more than 2 humans. Created in his pottery class with some dirt. Heck, even Emperor Quinshihuang managed to have a Terracotta Army of 8000 made. Yet the supposed God, creator of all, could only manage 1 or 2? Nah, I don’t buy it. Not to mention the fact that by creating only 2 people, or actually 1 and then cloning it (transgender? What’s that deal?) and then ordering them to procreate to fill earth, he in effect ordered them to incestueus inbreeding. That to rings untrue. Nah, us being here all flawed and all, are here as a matter of chance, luck and development over billions of years. And at one point, in billions of years it all will likely collapse or explode or whatever, and then change again over billions of years.
what exactly are you talking about bro? You know there’s context behind every atrocities you’re claiming let me guess slavery ? The Canaanites and genocide? All debunked and actually have context behind it. Before you make your assumptions on something actually read it. There is reasons behind all of it. You believe that nothing created something out of nothing. That’s like me believing a Tesla model x is just gonna pop up in my room one day. Well guess what it’s never gonna happen and it never will. But God because he’s intelligent made us and we’re intelligent and make decisions. You know God is real.
@@dannyreborn well, personally I think stoning people to death is pretty much the vilest of things one can do to another. Or, burning someone alive, pretty depraved in fact. Yet, according to your bible, ordered by “God” for things that really don’t warrant capital punishments. Unfortunately I started reading the Old Testament in 2014, when some folk of the Abrahamistic persuasion re-enacted the book of Moses in that same area. It was the sickest society I have ever seen and made me realise just how deprave the supposed orders of the supposed “God” were. No excuse, no context can ever justify a rule based on those types of laws for 2000 years. It’s ghastly.
Morality comes from humanity, empathy, and evolves as we do, there is no requirement for a god, humans determine that we have rights, it is the opinion of the whole. Religion is no solution for the requirements of humanity in the 21st century.
The moral argument for god fails because it only asserts that morals come from a god. And even if there was a god, the morality of that god would be nothing more than that god's opinion.
I think franks usual response to that is that good comes from gods nature, not gods opinion. God is unable to have opinions and unable to change what is good. So morality can exist without god, because god does not decide what is good.
@@TheAndnor An other way to put it: if God has a nature which he can't change then he is limited by that nature, so there is a force beyond God that limits God. What would that force be?
@@DomskiOKKK I think yes. And you? Frank says there's no moral without god, but tell me: is there any non-circular reason for why you ought to follow god's dictated morals? And what happens if you don't? And what happens if god's morals is to kill inonocents?

@kregorovillupo3625 Without God there not only is no morals, also no truth, no logic, etc. Like he said in the beginning Without God it's just man's opinion vs man's opinion. There is no truth or morality without an all knowing, perfect, fair ,and just God to set those standards.
I used to think that Frank was just ignorant about all of his talking points but it's been long enough for him to look into it all. At this point it has become obvious that he is just a used car salesman who doesn't care at all about his followers as long as they buy his nonsense and give him money.
Hmm. You are sure entitled to your opinion but what blows me away is when one does an open minded investigation into the things he talks about, there's a mountain of evidence and logic to back up what he says and believes. The scientific, literary, historical, archeological and even logic itself are massively in favor of what he purports. Scientist know that the universe had a beginning and that it is finely tuned to operate properly. Scientists know that it had to take a superior supernatural intelligence to write our 5 billion character DNA code which is part of the building blocks for life. Scientist know that the many components of our 60 trillion cells had to be in place at the same time for the cell to function and reproduce. And they also know that the chances of this happening by chance or evolution is pretty much zero know matter how long it could have taken to happen. Many of these scientists know it was God who did this this. And many scientists will not admit it is God who did this. The only logical explanation is they know if they admit the God of the Bible did it, they then have to be accountable to Him. And there lies the rub. We want to live independently of God and do our own thing. But if God is real and the Bible is Truth, then it also talks about the one called Satan whose whose only agenda is to kill, steal and destroy. He and his minions does this by working incognIto through deception to use our God given freewill against us. The Bible also tells us that due to the fall of Genesis 3, we are all born by default under his control. So where does that leave us. That's why Jesus, the God/man, The Creator came to make a way to escape Satan's control and come under God's control Who gives us abundant eternal life. It's a totally free gift. So please don't be like the scientist who won't believe in spite of all the evidence. Because in that state you are already toast. Just ask Jesus to show you the Truth. I promise He answers that prayer 100% of the time.

@@heavnxbound than enlighten me what are objective morals? To kill gays as “God” supposedly ordered in the OT, or not to do so because Jesus said something vague on the order of stoning? How about blasphemers? Is it moral to kill them as instructed by the “Lord” or not? One of the founders of Protestantism, the original Martin Luther thought it was right to kill Jws (believing them blasphemers for not believing in Jesus). Luther pretty much wrote the blue print for Kristalnach. Not surprisingly the Nazis awarded him Kristalnach on his birthday. Meanwhile pretty much all people (with the apparent exception of Turek) that morality changes. Turek might be enjoying the stonings of adulterers by the Taliban because god said that is the appropriate punishment; most sane people think stoning is brutal and immoral. Most people (with the apparent exception of Turek) do not think a women showing her ankle or calf think she’s a whore, while the moral prudish views in Elizabethan times certainly believed only loose women did that. Also good to hear Frank’s wife never wears a bikini or swimsuit, but in a burqini just to hold on to those old never changing moral views he seems to hold. But fine, he holds the same moral views as Moses, so thinks it’s fine to own people as property. To kill his enemies and keep the young girls as sex slaves. If that’s his position. Fine. The. He’s not lying. In all other cases he is and knows it. We live in a society. The society as a whole determines what’s moral or not. It’s how laws come about or are dropped.
@@hamster4618 exodus 21:16- whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.” The Bible does not endorse slavery or rape. God commands to love your neighbor as your self and that is a commandment. Anyone in the Old Testament who broke these laws was to be put to death. Also, in Hebrew the word slave has a different meaning when translated it’s translated to foreigner. Also slave didn’t mean the same thing it did at the time. Gay means something completely different now then it did 50 years ago. Before people used it as a term of being happy. Now it means feeling attraction for the same sex. Also you read the Old Testament out of context then because those so “called” slaves are actually working off means of debt and are to be treated with respect ; According to Leviticus " When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."- Leviticus 19:33-34 also What you are referring to in the old testament was voluntary means of working off debt. All men were created in the image of God and everyone is equal.

The moral argument is incredibly weak, I do not know why Frank thinks is is one of the very best. Oh wait, yes I do, it is because all arguments for the existence of "God" are bunk. The moral argument hinges on the premise that you can't have "objective morals", "absolute morals", or "universal morals" if Frank's "God" doesn't objectively exist. The problem is that no one has ever shown that any of those types of morals exist, so the foundational premise, and therefore the entire argument ,fails. It also suffers from the universal problem of "who is this god person anyway?" My personal, subjective morals are far better than those of the Christian gods. I see no reason to lower my standards to their level.
Incorrect, sorry but even Richard Dawkins a very famous athiest. Admits the fine tuning of the universe is one of the best arguments for the existence for God.

@@dannyreborn I am not making excuses. I am pointing out that Dawkins has no experience in astrophysics whatsoever, and that saying that fine-tuning is your best argument is not the same as saying that it is a good argument.

If you really want me to believe that your deity is objectively real then present it for examination, testing, and questioning to see if it can live to any, and all, of your claims for it. I have never been anything other than an atheist in my 67+ years and I don't secretly believe that any deities are objectively real, let alone your specific one. I am not mad at deities, they are fictional characters. I am disappointed that any adult in this day and age needs to rely on a fiction of their own making to cope with reality.

@@dannyreborn If it is objectively true then you should be able to produce your deity so that we can examine, test, and question it to see if it lives up to the claims made for it. Objectively true means that it must be a part of objective reality, the reality that we all share. We do not share minds, and that is the only place your deity resides, in your mind. That is called subjective reality. Your deity is only subjectively real. That is why no one has ever been able to show that their deity is objectively real, something that should be easy if it is true. I think that it is you who have a big empty that you have been unable to fill even with the deities that you have created specifically for that purpose. I have never had a need, or even a desire, for such fantasies. I find them superfluous, utterly unnecessary, a waste of my time. If the make believe of deities and their magic helps you cope that is OK, but it does not make them objectively real. It does not make them capable of doing anything in objective reality, the reality that we all share. Either produce your specific deity or admit that it is all in your mind. Go ahead, prove me wrong.
Everything frank is saying is base and the assumption that a god is real and exists. God has never been demonstrated to be real, and until someone can show that god is real then everything frank is saying is completely false!!

This is an absolute bold assertion that morality proves a god. No, this becomes a huge fallacy when faced with the claims of morals within his own book. The bible never condemns slavery or genocide. In fact it even goes as far as to give instructions for the proper way to own other humans as property. Is this seen as morally good today? Certainly not. In fact at no point in time should it have been considered as morally good. So how do you justify the teachings that condoned it in this book?
It's sorta like how we're looking at slavery? You realize there's a estimated 27 million people today in some form of slavery right (sex trafficking, labour forced work) heck I might be even a slave today by some standards I have a boss lol And yes these are all wrong but back in the day slavery was around before the mosaic law was even made... we get that its more regulating slavery but it does say no genocide "thou shall not murder" lol and in exodus it says "whoever steals a man and sells him and anyone found in possession of him shall be put to death" like back then its sorta just how it was people took high honor in family and they literally would just give daughters away to go off and get married... was truly a different way of living back then.

C.S Lewis puts it nicely. "Men became scientific because they believed in the law of nature, and they believed the law of nature, because they believed in the law giver. Now, to even begin to unfold the chapters of knowledge and make astounding discoveries requires a sheer level of faith. What's the physical guarantee that inventions are possible? I see atheists trying to separate faith and science like they also are not creatures of faith. It always takes faith. Plus Evolution is utterly based on Faith. I studied Archaeology in school, and believe me when I tell you it takes a massive level of faith to begin to objectively label some findings after exploring different theories and possibilities of what had happened or the story behind the artefact discovered. Its voodoo science, discovering bones in situ and calling it australophiticus, ramaphiticus, homo hablis when the skeletal frame in fact isn't comprehensive enough. Stephen Gould an American scientist believed it was very misleading to fleshen up the discovered bones in biology textbooks, when only broken, fragmeted and deformed skulls were found. It could have been in that SHAPE for a long period of time due to the pressure released on the skull by the density of the soil. But then Scientist in the name of practicing science proceed to give the discovery a 'full blown' body based on their speculations and variants of possibilities. How is that science?!! It takes FAITH to do that. Faith! That's what it takes. Also, there's been an immense skepticism about the creative power of mutation in regards to the natural selection mechanism. How can random changes acting on a living organism, this time, a coherent information in software programme for example result to a new form of life without degenerating what has been there, or this time, including more biological details that are not mindful of an organism's need for survival? In a nutshell, how is a baseline accuracy achieved such that it is consistent with the coherent string of DNA characters that is already existing in an organism that is being carried through the mutation process? Evolution is very FALSE, and I don't know how else to over emphasize this. Believe in Jesus Christ and Be Saved Today. He Loves You even if you hate him, and He wants you. To see for yourself, ask Jesus that if He is real, He should reveal himself to you, and you watch what happens.❤ And please guyss...Thinking is a personal thing, don't let some physicist, scientist all in the name of professional or authority appeal force you into thinking a certain way, even me, that's why I said to ask Jesus yourself. So many things in fact I have seen in Stephen Hawking's book Philosophy of Science that fulls beneath the scoreline of undiluted and dexterous science, highly misleading intelligent nonsense. Most of them are a bit of science rubbed with subjective views, coupled with his ability to market them with his authority appeal.
Morality is a code of values accepted by choice. If there is no choice, there is no morality. If you accept a moral code from your favorite deity because you are afraid of what he will do to you if you don’t, that is the morality of a very young child. Such behavior has nothing to do with goodness. If you accept a moral code from your favorite deity because of what it buys for you in some afterlife, you are a fool in this life and probably open to objectively criminal behavior as well. Moral statements are guideposts to good living in this life. Morality only matters to the living. What is morality without God? Worthwhile.
@@brianh2212 I debate this everyday on this platform.Mostly 'God' endorsing slavery. So this is nothing new to me ? Humans had morality long before Judaism or Christianity was a thing. Civilizations that have never heard the word of God have moral and ethical systems. And the reason is much simpler than a God: we need morality to have social cohesiveness if the group is big enough. So every time the tribe becomes bigger than the “monkey sphere” aka Dunbar’s number - the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships - it invents some form of morality.

He is now finishing the work he started in me which will continue until I pass away. I still sin every day and fight the same battles we all fight, just in a much different way than I used to. Did that help? Do you have anymore questions? Also, as a disclaimer to anyone who might read this, I don’t argue and debate. I just share my experience and path to those who ask.
Thank you so much for standing up for the truth know the truth and the truth will set you free Jesus died for our sins and lives and asks us to come live with him if you accept them in your heart you will be in heaven when you pass away on this life praise God thank you for giving us the truth keep up the good work on the videos
It goes like this. God is to build an eternity we call Heaven. The question is who can enter Heaven. God sets up Law for angels and humans to obey through a defined period time, then followed by a so-called Final Judgment to determine openly who can enter Heaven. To put it another way, Law serves as a measurement to see who can live with a sin-incompatible God in eternity. This started with humans without writing capability. Law (or rather a reflection of it) is written in our heart which remains as our conscience. However, by our freewill men's heart can be hardened. We are educated or re-educated by parental teaching, social encounters and such. We are even educatable when we are in mother's womb (as a matter of by whom though). So that everyone can have a variation of morality, though the original moral code is objective. That's why we need a God who can judge heart to do the Final Judgment for us. God/Jesus will use a covenant in place as the standard and takes everything into consideration to deliver a judgment result. That is, the original objective moral code will be used as a standard for our judgment, but God/Jesus will take everything into consideration. We need a just and fair God to do the Final Judgment for us humans. The Judgment for the angels are much more simple and straight forward.
Well my "conscience" tells me that *"Buy your slaves from the heathen nations that surround you"* Is not nor ever was a "moral" instruction and certainly not a moral reference standard that anyone should adhere or aspire to. Do you agree *YES or NO* ?? 🤔
You say that *_"God has written morality on our hearts"_* but there are several rather obvious problems with this assertion. Firstly if that were indeed the case then we would all regard the *SAME* "God" to be moral and regard the *SAME* scriptures and the laws they contain to be "moral," this is most certainly NOT the case. Most people do NOT think it immoral for a female to uncover her hair in public or to not face a specific landmark and pray five times a day. Most people in the world are just fine with eating bacon, wearing clothing of mixed fabrics and even picking up sticks on any day of the week. We do NOT think that our unruly rebellious children who disobey their parents ( sounds like most teenagers to me ) are deserving of the death penalty and we recognise that an instruction to _"Buy your slaves from the heathen nations that surround you"_ could never represent guidance from a perfect omnibenevolent unifying moral standard. We do however all have commonly held values found the world over irrespective of which religion or NO religion. These value all conform with our ideas about human wellbeing. As previously stated they are the basis for our ethical and legal systems the world over and for the most part it is only the concept of SIN ( perceived transgressions against the whims of subjective invisible beings ) that the disagreement occurs. Im not speculating here or just giving you my "opinion" the above is all *FACT* regardless of the existence or non existence of ANY "God". Given this, should humanity adhere and aspire to the common values that unite us all and have real impacts on real people here in the real world. ? Alternatively should we continue on trying to impose the perceived whims of our own subjectively determined invisible "one true God" that divide humanity and have no positive impact on wellbeing that can't also be attained via secular morality ?? Come on surely we are better than this, the sooner the world throws out like old furniture these gods and their barbaric religious ideological baggage the better.
@@trumpbellend6717 Do you even know that slavery is an establishment from or endorsed by the most moral humans back to the point? Would you explain why? See my pizza topping comment for an answer.
@@trumpbellend6717I already explained. As an analogy, Law in our heart is like the bread part of a pizza. It’s common to all pizzas disregarding what toppings put above. Which is the morality part put in our heart and will be used for humans Final Judgment. On top of this bread part of the pizza we add different toppings which altered our final morality. These toppings are a result of social culture developed, parental education and even from influence of the angelic beings. Moreover, our legal system actually relies on our common morality to work. That’s why all legal systems on earth share large part of similar content. Added that humans don’t need to read laws in order to obey laws. You don’t reread laws when traveling from one nation to another. Covering head is not part of the Law written in our heart. It is instead a Jewish Law (written either orally or literally but not in heart) or custom. You are confused, just as in any other part of your reply. Your “No God” assertion is simply from your own baseless faith or at best your poersonal speculation. I’ll give you another analogy here. If aliens exist and they have a reason to hide from us, then how possible that humans get to know their existence? The only way is by chance the aliens are encountered by eyewitnesses then for other humans to believe with faith. God allows humans to approach Him in the same manner. He has the chosen prophets as the eyewitnesses and for the rest of human kind to believe with faith. Apparently, you don't know how a truth shall convey among humans. Humans consider "something" a legitimate candidate of truth for a reason. Again, I'll give an analogy here for you to have a clue. Is it Trump won the votes or is it Biden? At the end a human can choose to believe Trump won or Biden won, even under the circumstance that we clearly know that one of them must be a lie! Now go figuring out why! That being said, if God is true (let's assume so for a while and for the sake of arugment) the only possible way for this truth to convey is what you can see through the Holy Bible as a testimony from eyewitness accounts. Come on, surely you can do better than this, to figure things out especially about how a truth (of any kind) shall convey among humans!
@@kennywong5857 Lol _"pizza topping"_ 🤭😂 if you want to use this absurd analogy then I would say that wellbeing and the values it incorporate's is the "bread" and all the different subjective religious piffle is the "Topping" dear 😜
- The cosmological and teleological arguments are word games. There's no "there" there. - The moral argument is the Christians claiming ownership of something that does not belong to them. All cultures have criminal & civil law and the golden rule. The Christians did not invent criminal and civil law; it comes to us from Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome. - The claim that a supernatural being wrote something on your heart is meaningless because there's no way to test it. - The core mission of all spiritual teaching is to help people understand their capacity for love and compassion, and to make it a major theme in their lives. - Multiple spiritual traditions help people find the peace and happiness that comes with this understanding. Some people call it living in the light. - If you are claiming they will be punished for eternity if they do not join your particular religion then you are living in darkness.
A perfect holy and just God has set up existence an all was good. God doesn’t allow evil into the world. Humanity has however. The more evil happens the more we’re distancing ourselves from God. The more wicked you do the further from him you are. He designed the way it works and he won’t compromise for any man. It’s Mans job to compromise for God. What high seat it is we think we sit. If you do not choose Jesus you’re making your own bed. Those who live a life of servitude, self sacrifice and genuine relationship with your CREATOR will do what’s right just because it’s whats meant to be. In the Name of the son, Jesus. Think of the people who are having the hardest time of it in this life. Jesus would heal him in body spirit and mind. That’s what we have to do. I could go deeper because the Lord has revealed many things to me. I’m no better than anyone I have started my best to live in this way and I have seen the Lord in all things. I watch in real time him working all around me because I bring my issues to Jesus and try to live His way. That’s why dying for a friend is a High honor. I love you all genuinely. Humanity is special but don’t think the Words in the Bible aren’t the Truth and he won’t start a new because he can do anything he chooses to. The stories of the profits are the result of this and you can literally have visions and know things to come. They’re puzzle pieces they all come together. In the case of science also if we were to use technology in conjunction with God instead of to try and oppose The Almighty. To uplift all Humanity to come together as He wants we would all be fulfilled. We would be so much further. I try to humble myself always and knowing these things it hearts your heart and soul seeing all the suffering and destruction. An still I pray the ones working for their own desctruction to turn from their wickedness and repent. With humility and ask the Lord for forgiveness, otherwise the day of the Lord they will immediately know their own eternal demise. All knees will fall before The Lord. All knees will drop before Yeshua. He is the Way the Truth and the Life. Fully Man and fully God. He set the example forever and will reign forever. Ahmen.
True Christian’s aren’t hypocrites! The ones that call themselves Christian’s but are actually lukewarm are! God will spew him out of his mouth! He would rather u be hot or cold anything but lukewarm! And God does exist! It’s a given! U don’t even have to question it!Yes! Don’t judge in unrighteousness! But if u c someone is in error and needs to repent u need to counsel them but in the spirit of love and charity and true Christians have that! But if ur sinning especially committing that same sin u aren’t the right person to counsel them Becuz that makes u a hypocrite!
Mr. Turek has said in essence, that because God loves us, He will not “force” us to love Him and if we do not want Him, He loves us enough to leave us alone. I reject this view outright BECAUSE Mr. Turek evidently either forgets, ignores or fails to grasp the obvious- God COMMANDS us to love Him! Mr. Turek has used the illustration of a man pursuing a woman who only likes him “as a friend”, but who will not take “No” for an answer. Mr. Turek suggests that IF that man said to the woman “I’m going to force you to love Me”, what would that make the man? Or if the man said to the woman “I command you to love me or else!” But Mr. Turek obviously does not grasp the significance of the “First and greatest COMMANDMENT!” His analogy is thereby obliterated BECAUSE God DOES command us to love Him first and foremost and threatens every person who does not with eternal, conscious torment if they do not! This in NO way makes God capricious, unjust or cruel. It makes Him GOD and right and wrong are what HE says they are! So, Mr. Turek, perhaps your imaginary god does not command people to love him “or else”. But GOD - the living, true, GOD does! So your analogy which I have heard you say to some asking questions, is hereby factually obliterated by the obvious. Priding yourself of your supposed wisdom and knowledge, you have in this regard at least, missed the forrest for the trees!
I think you’re missing something as well. God can not force us to love Him. It’s simply not true love. You only follow the commandments once you’ve accepted Jesus as your savior. You can’t follow anything unless you have a sense of love for it. God calls us to love Him and as well as other. But how can that be if He forces us? I think the analogy that Dr. Turek uses is perfect. God is God but because of His justness and all knowingness He knows true love has to come with free will. Hence why Hell is a place without God. A place you put your self in.
God isn’t threatening you with hell, He’s warning you that hell is the alternative if you reject God. Where should God put you for eternity? You only have two choices: be with Him or be away from Him. If you reject Him, you’re telling Him you want to be away from Him, and God grants that desire. The reason hell is so bad is because God is not there, and God is good, so there’s no good in hell. Heaven is paradise because it is full of God’s goodness and joy. You’re not understanding that there’s no other good and pleasant place to go that’s also away from God. It’s like being given the option to live on the moon or on Earth, and you choose the moon because you want to be away from Earth. You can’t, then, complain that the moon doesn’t have oxygen and demand that it be a more sustainable place for you to live. You literally REJECTED the place that had the desirable stuff because you wanted to be away from Earth. It’s the same with God and hell. When you want to be away from God, you are rejecting everything that’s good and accepting the place that lacks the desirable stuff. God is not threatening you with hell, as you assert. God is telling you hell has nothing good in it and you’d be better in heaven.
@@StruttinStrayCatBELIEF is NOT *"CHOICE"* or a mere act of volition. Sure someone can pretend to believe anything but the things one actually believe are not something you choose they are an involuntary response to one's level of information and understanding of their environment. You are either convinced or you are unconvinced and its EVIDENCE that convinces. I could not just make myself believe in pixies no matter how much I closed my eyes and stamped my feet. Anymore than you could right now "choose" to be convinced that God is not real or that the laws of gravity don't apply to you if you step off that cliff. Tell me could you genuinely "choose" to believe the internet does not exist and we are not having this discourse now ?? I'm talking about being CONVINCED of it bud not just pretending!! Give me an honest answer , could you right now "Choose" to believe in Thor or Zeus ??? 🤔 No of course not, for exactly the same reason I can't choose to believe in Yahweh. Now if I recieved some irrefutable knowledge or evidence then I would have no "choice" but to believe, I would have to deny my own reasoning and senses. That what changes beliefs, not "choice" If you came home and found your spouse in bed with the neighbour, could you just "CHOOSE" to believe in her fidelity and go back downstairs to make her a nice cup of tea ?? 🤣😅🤣
@@trumpbellend6717 Evidence doesn’t always convince in the way you assert. People nowadays can be convinced they are the opposite gender, or no gender at all, or some kind of human-animal hybrid, yet all the evidence proves the contrary. People choose to believe they’re healthy when they’re fat, oppressed when they’re privileged, or victims when they’re the victimizers all despite the evidence, and this is proof that people regularly deny reasoning and senses. Look at all the bad choices people make such as smoking, drinking, sleeping around, overeating… all things we just choose to believe are going to make us feel better even though our senses and reasoning tell us otherwise. How many times have you told yourself before doing something unwise, “I know I’m going to regret this later,” and done it anyway? If you haven’t, you know someone who has. The reason you can’t make yourself believe in pixies is because you have no reason to, same with not believing in gravity, the internet, or an unfaithful wife. The evidence for the Bible has been enough for countless people (many very intelligent and wise people, I might add) to choose to believe in God, despite not having the kind of irrefutable, tangible proof of God that skeptics tend to demand. I think you assume that evidence just automatically makes you believe in something all the time, but people regularly look at the same evidence and come to different conclusions, often based on prior beliefs or preferences. I mean, there are actually still flat earthers out there, my guy…
What about our tongue? How is it that we can taste sweet, bitter, sour, salty spicy etc.! I mean we can have 10 tongues one is for sweet, one is for sour and all 😅but we have only one and it’s amazing, and it is connected to the brain that says ohhh it’s so delicious or it’s not delicious! Isn’t it that our God is an awesome God?! Olwhats the purpose of our nails? We can have just fingers without it? Well there’s a lot more…
I love how theists skip right over proving morality exists and move into using it as a tool to cultivated their religion.imagine saying unicorms exist because lepricons prove it to be true.
Yes, “right” and “wrong” are absolutely a matter of “personal opinion,” but that’s the point…the OTHER who had the opinion on the matter. It’s ALWAYS your job from “God” to respect their right to exist, as a conscious being who is just as important as you are. It doesn’t mean that there is an all-powerful conscious being that we have to suck up to. In fact, I think Jesus would be offended, if not downright pissed off about what you think he’d appreciate and what you actually mean when you say “God.” …but yeah, it’s been 2,000 years, and no one seems to get what he was saying, and instead, they make it about worshiping the idea of power above everything else…which is was exactly what Abraham did when he was gonna brutally murder his kid because he thought “The Almighty” was telling him to do so. It’s gross. These power worshipers are not just “praying” in the spirit world, but they’re definitely on their knees. 🤘🤮
The purpose to the game, for YOU, is to learn to love something more than yourself. If you can’t do that, you can’t get out, Mr. Tired, “God” SAYS SO!!!
. Tell me dear is your OPINION regarding the "correct" God who's allegedly the basis for morality a "SUBJECTIVE" one or a "OBJECTIVE" one ?? 🙄 Can we use *ANY* "God" as the basis for this "objective" moral standard you speak of or just the SPECIFIC SUBJECTIVE invisible being *YOU* determined to be the "correct" one out of the many thousands man has preposed.? 🙄 🤔 If its the latter then in actuality its *YOU* and YOUR SUBJECTIVE OPINION that is determining morality dear. if its the former, then asserting objectivity to any moral claim based upon a "God" becomes a completely vacuous useless concept 👍 The claim that theistic morality is somehow "objective" is ridiculous. Theists are merely substituting their own subjective moral standards with the morals standards of the god they subjectively determine represents the "correct objective" morality. 🙄🤔 Is killing "just" if it's carried out by people believing it is instructed by a subjective invisible God or only if its the specific subjective invisible God *YOU* determined to be the "correct" one ?? 🤔
Morality does not prove a god's existence. I don't know if there is a god or not. It's not something that I really care that much about. However, to those who say they know there is a god, I have to say that the only proof I would accept that there is such a thing as a god, is if that god appeared before me and convinced me itself that it actually existed.
Yep it’s your choice to believe or to not believe. All Hope dies at death, But if God exist? (I personally believe in God ) , then you / I will be accountable for the sin’s we committed. As you may already know, there are two things we can’t change , The Truth and The Past #1. Truth- you were presented with the chance to accept Jesus as your savior and have Eternal Life with God. #2. Past- you rejected Jesus Christ as your savior, therefore now you will consciously exist for all eternity away from the presence of God regretting not accepting the Gift of salvation. But again if you truly believe Death is the end of everything then that is your Truth.
@@GOD1SF1RST first of all, I didn't say I believed anything. I simply said I do not know if there is a god. Also, you have strange definitions for the word truth.

Those are simply beliefs. I choose to base my life on what I can actually confirm. Take care.😀

@@GOD1SF1RST yep beliefs are one thing and knowledge is a completely different thing. I'm glad you are not one of those who says that they know there is a god. Take care.
Moral truth is not dependent on the existence of God. There is no added difficulty in explaining morality on a secular worldview, in fact, I think it's actually MORE coherent than the theist model.

That's true. The same thing about evidence. You can give evidence after evidence about something and people will still ignore it. That's because they don't want it to be true. But it's still true.
@@danielfortonforton223 give the evidence then.
Yeah and this is biblical!
Not so. People don't CHOOSE to be atheist. They are atheists because they don't see any evidence for the existence of a God and believe that everything has a natural explanation as opposed to a supernatural one, even when such a natural explanation is not (yet) understood. Believing in God and an afterlife must be of tremendous comfort to any believer and so many atheists probably wish that they did believe in God and would therefore welcome evidence to prove that God exists. It's like a child who learns that Santa Claus doesn't really exist; they might still wish that he did exist.
I'm an atheist because I see no evidence for the existence of God and instead believe that everything has a natural cause. Just because I don't understand where the universe came from (assuming it was not always there in some form or other), doesn't mean it must have been made by an old man in the sky using magic. Similarly, just because I don't know how life originally started (as opposed to evolved from that beginning), doesn't mean that it must have been created by a creator. It just means I don't know.
There's no shame in admitting you don't know something and there's no need to invent some fairytale story about magicians living in the sky to explain such things.

You're so brainwashed
The only way to show you know truth is by evidence. Turek's arguments here all commit well-known logical errors (and bad logic isn't evidence). For example the Moral argument is two baseless claims: that (A) objective moral values exist and (B) if they do, they're best explained by a god. No evidence of those claims is ever presented (in fact when theists try, _usually_ they're appealing to the feelings/opinions/tastes of people. But it's those things -- feelings, opinions, and tastes -- _that make something subjective!_ )

@@majm4606 How can morality be subjective ? It's nonsensical to believe that. Morality is objective because we have a moral law giver. That's not a logical fallacy at all.
@@Oatmealt 1. Morality is defined as, _"principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior."_ So because I think it's wrong to behead apostates and a particular Muslim disagrees, that demonstrates subjective moral values exist.
2. By contrast you haven't demonstrated a single objective moral value. Instead you repeated the same exact logical fallacy that Turek just made twice: you said _without evidence_ that "we have a moral lawgiver").
3. We have evidence of everything we actually know. It sounds like you're confusing (A) real things we say exist vs. (B) abstract things which are only ideas (and so if we say they exist, we're only saying _they exist as ideas in a mind, and that's it._ )

A faith based "objective" standard???? Please.... All Turek has done is murdered the meaning of objective. What is the difference between your individual personal faith and your individual personal opinion? Not a thing, nada, zip. At the end of the day, your individual personal choice of faith is exercising your individual personal opinion. Are you surprised at the internal contradiction, the hypocrisy? Why? Isn't that what Turek opened his little talk with? Then why are you surprised that is exactly what he served up with his faith based "objective" standard?
The kingdom is steadily shrinking. We have gone for mamy godx, to one god, and hopefully to no god, this is the correct progression.

I am a being of light, & a humble hearted individual, & so I take this opportunity to share.
The conception of a God has puzzled me since I was a child.
I know what I feel, & I know what is wrong.
What comes from my heart is true, what comes from my head is misconstrued as selfish & immoral, judged by “true God believers”.
So there in lies the crux of how a religion can condemn, damn, subjugate, deify, scorn, misunderstand, & alienate the true believers, of Love.
Belief in oneself is Love, not believing in a construct of omnipotence, by other humans that act to control in the name if “the One”.
We are the “One”, every concentration of light & energy regardless of form that shares space between our consciousness. We sacrifice our True selves by misconstruing the outer God to our original experience.
Be a Being of Light from the Heart.
Heads & Religion may guide You, yet no One can make it real for You.
Only You, by You, for You.
Think for You & no longer be a sheep, asleep.
Being of Light,
Love, & Laughter.
If God is watching, how laughable are we to subjectify our True reason for being.
Even the concept of reason is relative to our just being here.
We are here for eachother.
My best friend grew up in church, had a concept of relation to God, found that we are all smarter than we are & ascended to knowing that before we exist there is nothing, & when we cease to exist we are nothing.
No-thing.
Quite simple & never misconstrued with ideology of control outside of our own making.
I find a connection to Other’s through resonance.
Every One’s energy is how we relate.
It’s all relative.
Find Your Heart, what Relates & Gravitate to.
I am, always, Love.

Dr. Frank I was asked this in class today..... If the Garden of Eden was only good and perfect how did the serpent get in ? Im stuck with for an answer..
The devil was always there from the start
I have a thought on this although I don't know if this is the correct answer but consider this, when did sin enter Satan's heart? We know he is a fallen Angel so at some point he has to be made good but lose his way. If he was in the garden to begin with he was probably there as some type of Guardian Angel. Have a read of Ezekial 28:11-19. There is a bit of debate if this verse is referencing Satan or not but if it is then it hints that Satan would be in the garden as a Guardian Cherub who while being away from the Throne of God became infatuated with his own beauty and became obsessed with splendor which led to sin taking over his heart. Perhaps convincing Eve to take the fruit was Satan's first act of Sin, the first time anyone ever dared to test God's boundaries.

2:38 If the universe had a beginning, that just means it had a beginning, not that there was or is a beginner.
The cosmological argument only shows that the universe had to have a start point, not that any being caused the start.
If it had to have a start it had to have a beginner. I’m a computer programmer and you can’t write code without a coder. Someone has to write the code. The cosmological argument also goes in with the teleological argument which one of the top physicist in the world Stephen Hawking affirms that the universe is highly designed well we know that only persons can make decisions and so we know that through evidence there is many things that are highly designed.
@@dannyreborn Things happen without a mind interfering all the time. DNA is not a code, it is a chemical construct. As far as I am aware, Stephen Hawking never stated he thought the universe was actually designed.
He affirms the fine tuning of the universe,” if the expansion rate of the Big Bang was one part in thousand, million, million. A second after the Big Bang, the universe would have collapsed or never developed galaxies.” He said the expansion rate started at that point and didn’t evolve to a particular point. So the universe he affirms it to be highly designed
@@dannyreborn We do not actually know if it could have happened any different, We just have a rough Idea of what happened.Even if it could have gone differently, It did not. Neither case, it being able to have gone different or not, shows any evidence of a guiding intelligence.
@@dannyreborn That is not affirming the fine tuning of the universe. The only thing it does is saying that there is a very small window of optimal expansion rate. He is NOT saying it was in any way set, tinkered with or had any outside influence. And most definitely, NOTHING TO DO WITH DESIGN
Cosmological Argument: Fails to actually reach the conclusion that a god exists, and relies on logic, which is derived from our local reality; therefore, using it to make inferences about pre-reality doesn't make sense.
Teleological: Defines everything as designed, making it impossible to distinguish between design and non-designed. To conclude there's a designer is equivalent to saying there is no designer. Also, there's just no evidence backing the claim that nature or the cosmos or reality as a whole is designed.
Moral: Morality, though held as important to humanity, is really rather vague. But if we're just referring to determining what actions we should or should not be allowed to do, we can objectively determine that via proper reasoning. To present a being (deity) as the cause of existence, capable of bending reality to its will, is to undermine any objective basis for morality; as morality (and logic as a whole) would just be the whim of said deity.
But even setting aside proper reasoning, there are obvious, 'common sense' moral principles that are just necessary for any social creature. If everyone is a rampaging lunatic, then there wouldn't be anyone left to ponder morality in the first place: the moral version of the sentient puddle analogy.
You said nothing is designed do you realize the endless possibilities of how if the world was just a little different in any way we could all be dead Ex metors , if air was toxic to us the amount of conscience it would have to be its im the billions its not luck that you are here right now God made you

@@Zofitness_4 Then what's the point of your original comment?
Though with the Gospel-the power of God we can be perfect:
Jude 1:24
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
See, Jesus can keep you from falling:>
Very good video!
The inference is not only that morality provides the existence of God, but that morality is despatched to us by God alone.
If you follow that logic then the desire or choice to hate, kill, murder and rape is in that consignment too.
Why does it have to be that way?
Because God is omnipotent, and that means anything is possible.
That can mean a moral person acts only by way of divine instruction, regardless of his absence or unrevealed state to some of us.
Morality isn't a divine operating traders contract...it is simply an Idea that you treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
If this doesn't give an example of innate goodness and morality that is by design put into us by God I don't know what does. This can't be taught at this age it is in us because someone designed us to be loving in this way. God! If you are hurt by something in life and are mad at God talk to him he can't make it right if you don't give him the chance! I challenge all of you atheists. There is pain at the heart of your disregard for HIM. But he loves you just the same!

Can anyone answer-- there is no shadow without light. But Isn't shadow just darkness... and you cant have light without darkness. Trying to wrap my mind around this. Light has no meaning if there is no darkness.
Light is not created... Space is created where God has limited His Light... Darkness is limited but Light is infinite... We see that Light is limited because we live in the same space where God has limited His Light... Therefore, in our point of view we feel that darkness is what it is and Light is created... God created The Heaven or in our word The Space... And in The Space He limited His Light which resulted in darkness... But in out space where God is... it's full of Light 😂 I know I am not able to explain properly because I am a limited human being
We only categorize a lack of, or negation of, something when the actual thing we’re lacking or negating exists. If we never experienced the heat summer we wouldn’t know that the cold of winter exists. Without the dark of night we would have no conception of the light of daytime.

Religion is not what The Creator expects us to be part of.
Read the Gospels , it's His Kingdom His Church ... Thou art Peter and on this rock I will build My Church.. ..Nolan Scriptura????
@PaulByrne-w8l So the Temple is the human body, right?
Just like the Spirit inside Yeshua, right?
Not building, right?
His kingdom is not from this world, right?
EKKLESIA means people reunited, gathered, with a purpose, right?
So, the YESHUA's EKKLESIA has His purpose and manners, right? Because we must be temples of His SAMEB Spirit, so we can do things in His name, right?
Hmmmm
You've mentioned some verses from the Bible without any knowledge and context.
Please, stop parroting verses. All you can get is "religious mind" tag.
Yeshua was pointing to the most importante revelation of the entire Bible: WHO was there when they could see, touch, listen the man called YESHUA. The Bible will become a lot clearer for you when you receive this same revelation.
Shimeon Baryonnah (Peter) and all other could not understand that at that moment, too. And they were living with "Jesus" every day...
....and where the religion is part of it?
....oh, I know that, I know it...
Using the people, being called hypocrites and a brood of vipers (the only group - gender, class, position, professional activity, conduct, behavior, character - of people so called by the Creator and His true representatives) and killing The Messiah...
...I see...
And then, the first students of the Creator in the flesh were killed by people of what activity?
Let me see...
...AH! Yes!!!
...religious, again... (ouch!)
Look, you're probably right...
...stay in one religion and you will have the majority as company...
...that will give you a sense of security and the idea that you must be on the right path. But if you truly read your Bible, without the influence of religious people, you will realize that all those who were freed and saved by the Creator in the flesh, in fact, left their beliefs, values, traditions and worldviews, not to join another religion. They left for the freedom that only Yeshua, only Jesus, the Creator in the flesh, can give us. To live like HIM, loving others like HIM, teaching goodness, like HIM, carrying His SAME Spirit inside, being a BODY for Him...
3:25 it mentions the moral argument.

"Truth" is demonstrated dear not asserted, its that which best conforms with the FACTS and EVIDENCE and has nothing whatsoever to do with "faith"
Knowledge of FACTS, also called "propositional knowledge", is defined as true belief that is distinct from opinion or guesswork by virtue of justification. A "FACT" is a point of data that is objectively verifiable ( demonstrable ) Absent "Facts" one has only the opinion or guesswork and no justification to claim such knowledge.
Science has all the FACTS yet claims nothing as "absolute" truth. Christianity conversely claims absolute truth in everything yet has no FACTS 😜 Perhaps it would be best if you just go back to your colouring book and leave these discussions to the adults dear.

But how do we know what is Gods opinion? How did Martin Luther get it so wrong?
If a band is performing a song from your favorite band and they are doing a good job. You aren’t going to blame your favorite artist. You are going to blame the band that is representing you’re favorite artist by playing that song. So it’s the same as Martin Luther and God don’t blame Christians because we are all hypocrites and don’t live up to Christ Standard you have to follow Christ.
@@dannyreborn like I said, how do you know what’s “God’s opinion”. We are not actually talking about hearing something directly from “God” himself, now are we? We are reading stories about stories. So how to know what’s the truth.
And the problem is: you believe one thing, Martin Luther the next, Pope Urban VI something else. So not exactly comparable to your story about a band we can actually hear and it coverband.
However, you did touch on an analogy there: like with a band and it’s cover songs, different people will like different versions.
You don’t actually regard cover bands to the highest standard as your favorite artist. I meant to say if they play the song bad and they do a bad representation. You’re not going to blame you’re favorite band. Also, that is Roman Catholicism and I don’t believe in that. The pope does not actually say or do what the Bible says as far as what I’ve seen or any priest. They operate off of hierarchy and nowhere is that found in the Bible to run a church. And we know Gods opinion because to create a highly designed universe you need a person who is intelligent and can make personable decisions. If you have a immaterial, personable, space less, timeless, being then he would obviously want to communicate with his creation. Therefore alligns best with his nature then that’s how we know his opinion. Robert jastrow a very famous cosmologist (an agnostic ) who doesn’t even believe in God said that scientifically the Bible aligns with scientific creation. Then we know Gods opinion through his word.
@@dannyreborn good to know you are one of very few people who has the correct interpretation of “Gods word”. Obviously, I have no idea how, as the word salad was hardly an answer. “Therefore aligns best with his nature”? What’s that supposed to mean?
Just to be sure, you state you have a better understanding of what “God” wants, than for example the popes (church leaders) and people like Martin Luther, one of the founders of Protestantism?
So if they’ve got it wrong, what is correct? Do you hear voices?
@@hamster4618 no we know Gods opinion through scripture. In John it says,”In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God. He was God in the beginning. So through his word we know his opinion. I don’t know every action Martin Luther took but if it aligns with Gods word and his commandments. Then that’s how we know Gods opinion. Because God will not contradict himself if he is all powerful.
Who designed the designer?

@@TheNatedouble8 Actually, no. There's a clear answer to the eternity question if one believes in the hypothesis. Who designed the designer is entirely another question.
@@bisbeekid you’re assuming everything needs to be designed. Also the only things that do need design are material things. If something is immaterial it cannot be designed.
We Christian’s say the universe needs designer because the universe is not eternal & began to exist based off the evidence therefore it needs a designer since it began to exist.
We also know that there must be something that eternally exists because if something cannot come from nothing, and something does exist, then there must’ve always been a something. Otherwise you’d have to believe that out the blue something can just appear from nothing.
Morality is the result of human behaviour evolving over time when people come together to live in groups and tribes. Very simply good behaviour that benefits the group is rewarded. Bad behaviour disrupt group cohesion is punished. For god sake it’s as simple and as logical as that. You don’t need a god send genius to interprete that on behalf of an MIA omnipotent being.
It´s weird, because Jesus behaviour is considered to be "good", but yet he was killed by the "group". And not only him...millions of people behaved "good" and yet were punished by "the "Group"...In fact....in todays world behaving "good" is punished equally, if not worse, than behaving "bad".
Your argument is one dimensional.
Don’t call for “God’s sake” if your world view doesn’t acknowledge that God gives the standards for morality.

@@realtalkwithphil Well you're the one acting like they're right by ignoring the main points and distracting to something irrelevant. Worse, your point isn't even good because (for example) nobody who says "god damn" seriously thinks they're asking an actual god to damn something when they say that. It's just a saying.
The most common reason people distract off topic is when they want to simply _ignore what other other side said,_ especially when when they made good points you can't address. After all, if you focus on an irrelevant detail you don't have to actually face the truth of what they're saying, right? But the only reason to act like that is if they're right and you're trying to protect a deeply-held belief that's wrong.

The fatal flaw in Turek's argument is that there is nothing "objectively moral" about God. The notion that God is the ultimate "good" is just a subjective human definition of what we would like or hope God to be, if he existed. Turek says morality is the "best" argument for the existence of God, but it is no argument at all. We don't get our sense of moral right and wrong from God. If we did, we would still believe slavery was perfectly fine.
Some people do believe slavery is perfectly fine. There are more slaves today than ever before.
@@araenasanchez That is indeed true. But most of western culture has moved beyond it due to some moral instinct against it that cannot be attributed to God.
Is it subjective? Kind of funny how the things we describe as ‘good’ tend to lead to greater survivability for the whole of humanity. It’s as if things that are good lead to life that flourishes. When you align with the design of reality, things tend to be better for you and those around you.
That’s not really debatable and refutes that it’s just ‘wishful thinking’.
I don’t have enough imagination to believe in gods, demons, zombies or angels, garden gnomes coming to life at night, pixies or werewolves.
Not to mention the first part of the bible isn’t exactly inspiring when it comes to morality, as the practices are heinous.
Think of it this way... just because you don't believe in the Sun, doesn't make it any less real. You've never seen the planet Pluto in person, but that doesn't mean it's not still out there. Stephen C Meyer, PHD stated it this way, "If it's true there's a beginning to the universe, as modern cosmologists now agree, then this implies a cause that transcends the universe. If the laws of physics are fine-tuned to permit life, as contemporary physicists are discovering, then perhaps there's a designer who fine-tuned them. If there's information in the cell, as molecular biology shows, then this suggests intelligent design. To get life going in the first place would have required biological information; the implications point beyond the material realm to a prior intelligent cause."
@@jesuslovesyou37 but I sure can see the sun. Unlike any supposed god, let alone your specific “God”.
As for the “fine tuning” argument, I would say it’s evidence for no god. If a supposed God who supposedly created the earth for humans, created the whole universe with it, it did a poor job of over-dimensioning the universe.
A vast space utterly useless for human habitation, while creating a speck of a planet in which humans, of which, once more most surface area is not habitable.
In addition, that area that is habitable is already used up for 50% for agricultural purposes; and that in (according to the bible) just a couple of generations.
An earth that is overcrowded by humans who are rapidly going through all recourses, degrading top soil, leaving their plastics all over the place and toxins in quantities harmful for humans.
Not to mention it is utterly weird and kinda sick he would have created the whole vast, limitless universe, with an uncountable number of stars, yet he managed no more than 2 humans. Created in his pottery class with some dirt. Heck, even Emperor Quinshihuang managed to have a Terracotta Army of 8000 made. Yet the supposed God, creator of all, could only manage 1 or 2?
Nah, I don’t buy it.
Not to mention the fact that by creating only 2 people, or actually 1 and then cloning it (transgender? What’s that deal?) and then ordering them to procreate to fill earth, he in effect ordered them to incestueus inbreeding. That to rings untrue.
Nah, us being here all flawed and all, are here as a matter of chance, luck and development over billions of years.
And at one point, in billions of years it all will likely collapse or explode or whatever, and then change again over billions of years.
Exactly, it’s all make believe and superstition.
what exactly are you talking about bro? You know there’s context behind every atrocities you’re claiming let me guess slavery ? The Canaanites and genocide? All debunked and actually have context behind it. Before you make your assumptions on something actually read it. There is reasons behind all of it. You believe that nothing created something out of nothing. That’s like me believing a Tesla model x is just gonna pop up in my room one day. Well guess what it’s never gonna happen and it never will. But God because he’s intelligent made us and we’re intelligent and make decisions. You know God is real.
@@dannyreborn well, personally I think stoning people to death is pretty much the vilest of things one can do to another. Or, burning someone alive, pretty depraved in fact. Yet, according to your bible, ordered by “God” for things that really don’t warrant capital punishments.
Unfortunately I started reading the Old Testament in 2014, when some folk of the Abrahamistic persuasion re-enacted the book of Moses in that same area. It was the sickest society I have ever seen and made me realise just how deprave the supposed orders of the supposed “God” were. No excuse, no context can ever justify a rule based on those types of laws for 2000 years. It’s ghastly.
Morality comes from humanity, empathy, and evolves as we do, there is no requirement for a god, humans determine that we have rights, it is the opinion of the whole. Religion is no solution for the requirements of humanity in the 21st century.
Does this mean anything immoral can become moral if enough people agreed on it?
Christopher Hitchens must not have spent much time on Twitter. Non-believers are capable of multitudes of vile hatred without religion to blame.
Believers fall under that category as well. One only has to look at the Roman Catholic Church and the sexual abuse by their priests on children.Sick
The moral argument for god fails because it only asserts that morals come from a god.
And even if there was a god, the morality of that god would be nothing more than that god's opinion.
I think franks usual response to that is that good comes from gods nature, not gods opinion.
God is unable to have opinions and unable to change what is good.
So morality can exist without god, because god does not decide what is good.
@@TheAndnor An other way to put it: if God has a nature which he can't change then he is limited by that nature, so there is a force beyond God that limits God. What would that force be?

Without God there not only is no morals, also no truth, no logic, etc. Like he said in the beginning Without God it's just man's opinion vs man's opinion. There is no truth or morality without an all knowing, perfect, fair ,and just God to set those standards.
I used to think that Frank was just ignorant about all of his talking points but it's been long enough for him to look into it all. At this point it has become obvious that he is just a used car salesman who doesn't care at all about his followers as long as they buy his nonsense and give him money.
Hmm. You are sure entitled to your opinion but what blows me away is when one does an open minded investigation into the things he talks about, there's a mountain of evidence and logic to back up what he says and believes. The scientific, literary, historical, archeological and even logic itself are massively in favor of what he purports. Scientist know that the universe had a beginning and that it is finely tuned to operate properly. Scientists know that it had to take a superior supernatural intelligence to write our 5 billion character DNA code which is part of the building blocks for life. Scientist know that the many components of our 60 trillion cells had to be in place at the same time for the cell to function and reproduce. And they also know that the chances of this happening by chance or evolution is pretty much zero know matter how long it could have taken to happen. Many of these scientists know it was God who did this this. And many scientists will not admit it is God who did this. The only logical explanation is they know if they admit the God of the Bible did it, they then have to be accountable to Him. And there lies the rub. We want to live independently of God and do our own thing. But if God is real and the Bible is Truth, then it also talks about the one called Satan whose whose only agenda is to kill, steal and destroy. He and his minions does this by working incognIto through deception to use our God given freewill against us. The Bible also tells us that due to the fall of Genesis 3, we are all born by default under his control. So where does that leave us. That's why Jesus, the God/man, The Creator came to make a way to escape Satan's control and come under God's control Who gives us abundant eternal life. It's a totally free gift. So please don't be like the scientist who won't believe in spite of all the evidence. Because in that state you are already toast. Just ask Jesus to show you the Truth. I promise He answers that prayer 100% of the time.

@@heavnxbound than enlighten me what are objective morals? To kill gays as “God” supposedly ordered in the OT, or not to do so because Jesus said something vague on the order of stoning?
How about blasphemers? Is it moral to kill them as instructed by the “Lord” or not?
One of the founders of Protestantism, the original Martin Luther thought it was right to kill Jws (believing them blasphemers for not believing in Jesus).
Luther pretty much wrote the blue print for Kristalnach. Not surprisingly the Nazis awarded him Kristalnach on his birthday.
Meanwhile pretty much all people (with the apparent exception of Turek) that morality changes. Turek might be enjoying the stonings of adulterers by the Taliban because god said that is the appropriate punishment; most sane people think stoning is brutal and immoral.
Most people (with the apparent exception of Turek) do not think a women showing her ankle or calf think she’s a whore, while the moral prudish views in Elizabethan times certainly believed only loose women did that.
Also good to hear Frank’s wife never wears a bikini or swimsuit, but in a burqini just to hold on to those old never changing moral views he seems to hold.
But fine, he holds the same moral views as Moses, so thinks it’s fine to own people as property. To kill his enemies and keep the young girls as sex slaves. If that’s his position. Fine. The. He’s not lying. In all other cases he is and knows it.
We live in a society. The society as a whole determines what’s moral or not. It’s how laws come about or are dropped.
@@hamster4618 exodus 21:16- whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.” The Bible does not endorse slavery or rape. God commands to love your neighbor as your self and that is a commandment. Anyone in the Old Testament who broke these laws was to be put to death. Also, in Hebrew the word slave has a different meaning when translated it’s translated to foreigner. Also slave didn’t mean the same thing it did at the time. Gay means something completely different now then it did 50 years ago. Before people used it as a term of being happy. Now it means feeling attraction for the same sex. Also you read the Old Testament out of context then because those so “called” slaves are actually working off means of debt and are to be treated with respect ; According to Leviticus " When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."- Leviticus 19:33-34 also What you are referring to in the old testament was voluntary means of working off debt. All men were created in the image of God and everyone is equal.

The moral argument is incredibly weak, I do not know why Frank thinks is is one of the very best. Oh wait, yes I do, it is because all arguments for the existence of "God" are bunk. The moral argument hinges on the premise that you can't have "objective morals", "absolute morals", or "universal morals" if Frank's "God" doesn't objectively exist. The problem is that no one has ever shown that any of those types of morals exist, so the foundational premise, and therefore the entire argument ,fails. It also suffers from the universal problem of "who is this god person anyway?"
My personal, subjective morals are far better than those of the Christian gods. I see no reason to lower my standards to their level.
Incorrect, sorry but even Richard Dawkins a very famous athiest. Admits the fine tuning of the universe is one of the best arguments for the existence for God.
@@dannyreborn That doesn't mean that he thinks it is either good or valid, only that he thinks it is one of the best from a heap of garbage. Further, Dawkins is not an astrophysicist, a cosmologist, or even an astronomer, he is an evolutionary biologist.
@@letstrytouserealscienceoka3564 I know that he’s not physicists and he’s an evolutionary biologist. I’m saying HE said with his own words that’s the fine tuning of the universe is the best argument for God and he’s an atheist. You’re just making excuses because you know God is real brother. You can’t be mad at something that doesn’t exist. Repent and turn to God.
@@dannyreborn I am not making excuses. I am pointing out that Dawkins has no experience in astrophysics whatsoever, and that saying that fine-tuning is your best argument is not the same as saying that it is a good argument.
No argument is enough to show that deities, or anything "supernatural", is a part of objective reality. You need evidence, direct objective empirical evidence of your specific deity. If you really want me to believe that your deity is objectively real then present it for examination, testing, and questioning to see if it can live to any, and all, of your claims for it.
I have never been anything other than an atheist in my 67+ years and I don't secretly believe that any deities are objectively real, let alone your specific one. I am not mad at deities, they are fictional characters. I am disappointed that any adult in this day and age needs to rely on a fiction of their own making to cope with reality. I feel sorry for you and anyone else who has been so deluded that you actually think that we all need such a wobbly crutch to walk through the one and only life we will ever have.
Show me, with real verified direct objective empirical evidence that your deity is objectively real. If it is, and it is the deity or deities of the Christian bible then I do hope you will join me in locking it away for crimes against humanity. The gods described in the bible are horrific creatures. You might want to check that other Dawkins quote on that issue.
@@letstrytouserealscienceoka3564 you cannot put God inside of a test tube and test him. Your human thinking is way beyond Gods capacity and what you could imagine.

If GOD doesn't exist then neither does good and evil or right and wrong because it is all then reduced to personal or majority opinion and if we are all entitled to our own opinion then who decides which one is right?

@@dannyreborn If it is objectively true then you should be able to produce your deity so that we can examine, test, and question it to see if it lives up to the claims made for it. Objectively true means that it must be a part of objective reality, the reality that we all share. We do not share minds, and that is the only place your deity resides, in your mind. That is called subjective reality. Your deity is only subjectively real. That is why no one has ever been able to show that their deity is objectively real, something that should be easy if it is true. I think that it is you who have a big empty that you have been unable to fill even with the deities that you have created specifically for that purpose. I have never had a need, or even a desire, for such fantasies. I find them superfluous, utterly unnecessary, a waste of my time. If the make believe of deities and their magic helps you cope that is OK, but it does not make them objectively real. It does not make them capable of doing anything in objective reality, the reality that we all share.
Either produce your specific deity or admit that it is all in your mind. Go ahead, prove me wrong.

This is an absolute bold assertion that morality proves a god. No, this becomes a huge fallacy when faced with the claims of morals within his own book. The bible never condemns slavery or genocide. In fact it even goes as far as to give instructions for the proper way to own other humans as property. Is this seen as morally good today? Certainly not. In fact at no point in time should it have been considered as morally good. So how do you justify the teachings that condoned it in this book?
It's sorta like how we're looking at slavery? You realize there's a estimated 27 million people today in some form of slavery right (sex trafficking, labour forced work) heck I might be even a slave today by some standards I have a boss lol And yes these are all wrong but back in the day slavery was around before the mosaic law was even made... we get that its more regulating slavery but it does say no genocide "thou shall not murder" lol and in exodus it says "whoever steals a man and sells him and anyone found in possession of him shall be put to death" like back then its sorta just how it was people took high honor in family and they literally would just give daughters away to go off and get married... was truly a different way of living back then.

C.S Lewis puts it nicely. "Men became scientific because they believed in the law of nature, and they believed the law of nature, because they believed in the law giver. Now, to even begin to unfold the chapters of knowledge and make astounding discoveries requires a sheer level of faith. What's the physical guarantee that inventions are possible? I see atheists trying to separate faith and science like they also are not creatures of faith. It always takes faith. Plus Evolution is utterly based on Faith. I studied Archaeology in school, and believe me when I tell you it takes a massive level of faith to begin to objectively label some findings after exploring different theories and possibilities of what had happened or the story behind the artefact discovered. Its voodoo science, discovering bones in situ and calling it australophiticus, ramaphiticus, homo hablis when the skeletal frame in fact isn't comprehensive enough. Stephen Gould an American scientist believed it was very misleading to fleshen up the discovered bones in biology textbooks, when only broken, fragmeted and deformed skulls were found. It could have been in that SHAPE for a long period of time due to the pressure released on the skull by the density of the soil. But then Scientist in the name of practicing science proceed to give the discovery a 'full blown' body based on their speculations and variants of possibilities. How is that science?!! It takes FAITH to do that. Faith! That's what it takes.
Also, there's been an immense skepticism about the creative power of mutation in regards to the natural selection mechanism. How can random changes acting on a living organism, this time, a coherent information in software programme for example result to a new form of life without degenerating what has been there, or this time, including more biological details that are not mindful of an organism's need for survival? In a nutshell, how is a baseline accuracy achieved such that it is consistent with the coherent string of DNA characters that is already existing in an organism that is being carried through the mutation process? Evolution is very FALSE, and I don't know how else to over emphasize this. Believe in Jesus Christ and Be Saved Today. He Loves You even if you hate him, and He wants you. To see for yourself, ask Jesus that if He is real, He should reveal himself to you, and you watch what happens.❤

Morality is a code of values accepted by choice. If there is no choice, there is no morality. If you accept a moral code from your favorite deity because you are afraid of what he will do to you if you don’t, that is the morality of a very young child. Such behavior has nothing to do with goodness. If you accept a moral code from your favorite deity because of what it buys for you in some afterlife, you are a fool in this life and probably open to objectively criminal behavior as well. Moral statements are guideposts to good living in this life. Morality only matters to the living. What is morality without God? Worthwhile.

Humans had morality long before Judaism or Christianity was a thing. Civilizations that have never heard the word of God have moral and ethical systems.
And the reason is much simpler than a God: we need morality to have social cohesiveness if the group is big enough. So every time the tribe becomes bigger than the “monkey sphere” aka Dunbar’s number - the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships - it invents some form of morality.

It goes like this.
God is to build an eternity we call Heaven. The question is who can enter Heaven. God sets up Law for angels and humans to obey through a defined period time, then followed by a so-called Final Judgment to determine openly who can enter Heaven. To put it another way, Law serves as a measurement to see who can live with a sin-incompatible God in eternity. This started with humans without writing capability. Law (or rather a reflection of it) is written in our heart which remains as our conscience. However, by our freewill men's heart can be hardened. We are educated or re-educated by parental teaching, social encounters and such. We are even educatable when we are in mother's womb (as a matter of by whom though). So that everyone can have a variation of morality, though the original moral code is objective. That's why we need a God who can judge heart to do the Final Judgment for us. God/Jesus will use a covenant in place as the standard and takes everything into consideration to deliver a judgment result. That is, the original objective moral code will be used as a standard for our judgment, but God/Jesus will take everything into consideration. We need a just and fair God to do the Final Judgment for us humans. The Judgment for the angels are much more simple and straight forward.
Well my "conscience" tells me that *"Buy your slaves from the heathen nations that surround you"* Is not nor ever was a "moral" instruction and certainly not a moral reference standard that anyone should adhere or aspire to. Do you agree *YES or NO* ?? 🤔

Firstly if that were indeed the case then we would all regard the *SAME* "God" to be moral and regard the *SAME* scriptures and the laws they contain to be "moral," this is most certainly NOT the case.
Most people do NOT think it immoral for a female to uncover her hair in public or to not face a specific landmark and pray five times a day. Most people in the world are just fine with eating bacon, wearing clothing of mixed fabrics and even picking up sticks on any day of the week.
We do NOT think that our unruly rebellious children who disobey their parents ( sounds like most teenagers to me ) are deserving of the death penalty and we recognise that an instruction to _"Buy your slaves from the heathen nations that surround you"_ could never represent guidance from a perfect omnibenevolent unifying moral standard.
We do however all have commonly held values found the world over irrespective of which religion or NO religion. These value all conform with our ideas about human wellbeing. As previously stated they are the basis for our ethical and legal systems the world over and for the most part it is only the concept of SIN ( perceived transgressions against the whims of subjective invisible beings ) that the disagreement occurs.
Im not speculating here or just giving you my "opinion" the above is all *FACT* regardless of the existence or non existence of ANY "God". Given this, should humanity adhere and aspire to the common values that unite us all and have real impacts on real people here in the real world. ?
Alternatively should we continue on trying to impose the perceived whims of our own subjectively determined invisible "one true God" that divide humanity and have no positive impact on wellbeing that can't also be attained via secular morality ??
Come on surely we are better than this, the sooner the world throws out like old furniture these gods and their barbaric religious ideological baggage the better.
@@trumpbellend6717 Do you even know that slavery is an establishment from or endorsed by the most moral humans back to the point? Would you explain why?
See my pizza topping comment for an answer.
@@trumpbellend6717I already explained. As an analogy, Law in our heart is like the bread part of a pizza. It’s common to all pizzas disregarding what toppings put above. Which is the morality part put in our heart and will be used for humans Final Judgment. On top of this bread part of the pizza we add different toppings which altered our final morality. These toppings are a result of social culture developed, parental education and even from influence of the angelic beings.
Moreover, our legal system actually relies on our common morality to work. That’s why all legal systems on earth share large part of similar content. Added that humans don’t need to read laws in order to obey laws. You don’t reread laws when traveling from one nation to another.
Covering head is not part of the Law written in our heart. It is instead a Jewish Law (written either orally or literally but not in heart) or custom. You are confused, just as in any other part of your reply.
Your “No God” assertion is simply from your own baseless faith or at best your poersonal speculation. I’ll give you another analogy here. If aliens exist and they have a reason to hide from us, then how possible that humans get to know their existence? The only way is by chance the aliens are encountered by eyewitnesses then for other humans to believe with faith. God allows humans to approach Him in the same manner. He has the chosen prophets as the eyewitnesses and for the rest of human kind to believe with faith.
Apparently, you don't know how a truth shall convey among humans. Humans consider "something" a legitimate candidate of truth for a reason. Again, I'll give an analogy here for you to have a clue. Is it Trump won the votes or is it Biden? At the end a human can choose to believe Trump won or Biden won, even under the circumstance that we clearly know that one of them must be a lie! Now go figuring out why!
That being said, if God is true (let's assume so for a while and for the sake of arugment) the only possible way for this truth to convey is what you can see through the Holy Bible as a testimony from eyewitness accounts. Come on, surely you can do better than this, to figure things out especially about how a truth (of any kind) shall convey among humans!

Lol _"pizza topping"_ 🤭😂 if you want to use this absurd analogy then I would say that wellbeing and the values it incorporate's is the "bread" and all the different subjective religious piffle is the "Topping" dear 😜
- The cosmological and teleological arguments are word games. There's no "there" there.
- The moral argument is the Christians claiming ownership of something that does not belong to them. All cultures have criminal & civil law and the golden rule. The Christians did not invent criminal and civil law; it comes to us from Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome.
- The claim that a supernatural being wrote something on your heart is meaningless because there's no way to test it.
- The core mission of all spiritual teaching is to help people understand their capacity for love and compassion, and to make it a major theme in their lives.
- Multiple spiritual traditions help people find the peace and happiness that comes with this understanding. Some people call it living in the light.
- If you are claiming they will be punished for eternity if they do not join your particular religion then you are living in darkness.
A perfect holy and just God has set up existence an all was good. God doesn’t allow evil into the world. Humanity has however. The more evil happens the more we’re distancing ourselves from God. The more wicked you do the further from him you are. He designed the way it works and he won’t compromise for any man. It’s Mans job to compromise for God. What high seat it is we think we sit. If you do not choose Jesus you’re making your own bed. Those who live a life of servitude, self sacrifice and genuine relationship with your CREATOR will do what’s right just because it’s whats meant to be. In the Name of the son, Jesus. Think of the people who are having the hardest time of it in this life. Jesus would heal him in body spirit and mind. That’s what we have to do. I could go deeper because the Lord has revealed many things to me. I’m no better than anyone I have started my best to live in this way and I have seen the Lord in all things. I watch in real time him working all around me because I bring my issues to Jesus and try to live His way. That’s why dying for a friend is a High honor. I love you all genuinely. Humanity is special but don’t think the Words in the Bible aren’t the Truth and he won’t start a new because he can do anything he chooses to. The stories of the profits are the result of this and you can literally have visions and know things to come. They’re puzzle pieces they all come together. In the case of science also if we were to use technology in conjunction with God instead of to try and oppose The Almighty. To uplift all Humanity to come together as He wants we would all be fulfilled. We would be so much further. I try to humble myself always and knowing these things it hearts your heart and soul seeing all the suffering and destruction. An still I pray the ones working for their own desctruction to turn from their wickedness and repent. With humility and ask the Lord for forgiveness, otherwise the day of the Lord they will immediately know their own eternal demise. All knees will fall before The Lord. All knees will drop before Yeshua. He is the Way the Truth and the Life. Fully Man and fully God. He set the example forever and will reign forever. Ahmen.
Also, there were 15-20 other saviour gods , the story, identical to that of Jesus Christ
Except they did not rise from the dead.
True Christian’s aren’t hypocrites! The ones that call themselves Christian’s but are actually lukewarm are! God will spew him out of his mouth! He would rather u be hot or cold anything but lukewarm! And God does exist! It’s a given! U don’t even have to question it!Yes! Don’t judge in unrighteousness! But if u c someone is in error and needs to repent u need to counsel them but in the spirit of love and charity and true Christians have that! But if ur sinning especially committing that same sin u aren’t the right person to counsel them Becuz that makes u a hypocrite!
Please show me your God ?
Your right I don’t need to question it because I know God doesn’t exists
And we are right
But, that is also true about Islam and many other religions. Many don’t like Islam..does that make Islam true?
I am God, prove me wrong.
Mr. Turek has said in essence, that because God loves us, He will not “force” us to love Him and if we do not want Him, He loves us enough to leave us alone. I reject this view outright BECAUSE Mr. Turek evidently either forgets, ignores or fails to grasp the obvious- God COMMANDS us to love Him! Mr. Turek has used the illustration of a man pursuing a woman who only likes him “as a friend”, but who will not take “No” for an answer. Mr. Turek suggests that IF that man said to the woman “I’m going to force you to love Me”, what would that make the man? Or if the man said to the woman “I command you to love me or else!” But Mr. Turek obviously does not grasp the significance of the “First and greatest COMMANDMENT!” His analogy is thereby obliterated BECAUSE God DOES command us to love Him first and foremost and threatens every person who does not with eternal, conscious torment if they do not! This in NO way makes God capricious, unjust or cruel. It makes Him GOD and right and wrong are what HE says they are! So, Mr. Turek, perhaps your imaginary god does not command people to love him “or else”. But GOD - the living, true, GOD does! So your analogy which I have heard you say to some asking questions, is hereby factually obliterated by the obvious. Priding yourself of your supposed wisdom and knowledge, you have in this regard at least, missed the forrest for the trees!
I think you’re missing something as well. God can not force us to love Him. It’s simply not true love. You only follow the commandments once you’ve accepted Jesus as your savior. You can’t follow anything unless you have a sense of love for it. God calls us to love Him and as well as other. But how can that be if He forces us? I think the analogy that Dr. Turek uses is perfect. God is God but because of His justness and all knowingness He knows true love has to come with free will. Hence why Hell is a place without God. A place you put your self in.
God isn’t threatening you with hell, He’s warning you that hell is the alternative if you reject God. Where should God put you for eternity? You only have two choices: be with Him or be away from Him. If you reject Him, you’re telling Him you want to be away from Him, and God grants that desire. The reason hell is so bad is because God is not there, and God is good, so there’s no good in hell. Heaven is paradise because it is full of God’s goodness and joy. You’re not understanding that there’s no other good and pleasant place to go that’s also away from God.
It’s like being given the option to live on the moon or on Earth, and you choose the moon because you want to be away from Earth. You can’t, then, complain that the moon doesn’t have oxygen and demand that it be a more sustainable place for you to live. You literally REJECTED the place that had the desirable stuff because you wanted to be away from Earth. It’s the same with God and hell. When you want to be away from God, you are rejecting everything that’s good and accepting the place that lacks the desirable stuff. God is not threatening you with hell, as you assert. God is telling you hell has nothing good in it and you’d be better in heaven.
@@StruttinStrayCatBELIEF is NOT *"CHOICE"* or a mere act of volition. Sure someone can pretend to believe anything but the things one actually believe are not something you choose they are an involuntary response to one's level of information and understanding of their environment. You are either convinced or you are unconvinced and its EVIDENCE that convinces.
I could not just make myself believe in pixies no matter how much I closed my eyes and stamped my feet. Anymore than you could right now "choose" to be convinced that God is not real or that the laws of gravity don't apply to you if you step off that cliff.
Tell me could you genuinely "choose" to believe the internet does not exist and we are not having this discourse now ?? I'm talking about being CONVINCED of it bud not just pretending!! Give me an honest answer , could you right now "Choose" to believe in Thor or Zeus ??? 🤔 No of course not, for exactly the same reason I can't choose to believe in Yahweh.
Now if I recieved some irrefutable knowledge or evidence then I would have no "choice" but to believe, I would have to deny my own reasoning and senses. That what changes beliefs, not "choice"
If you came home and found your spouse in bed with the neighbour, could you just "CHOOSE" to believe in her fidelity and go back downstairs to make her a nice cup of tea ?? 🤣😅🤣
@@trumpbellend6717 Evidence doesn’t always convince in the way you assert. People nowadays can be convinced they are the opposite gender, or no gender at all, or some kind of human-animal hybrid, yet all the evidence proves the contrary. People choose to believe they’re healthy when they’re fat, oppressed when they’re privileged, or victims when they’re the victimizers all despite the evidence, and this is proof that people regularly deny reasoning and senses. Look at all the bad choices people make such as smoking, drinking, sleeping around, overeating… all things we just choose to believe are going to make us feel better even though our senses and reasoning tell us otherwise. How many times have you told yourself before doing something unwise, “I know I’m going to regret this later,” and done it anyway? If you haven’t, you know someone who has.
The reason you can’t make yourself believe in pixies is because you have no reason to, same with not believing in gravity, the internet, or an unfaithful wife. The evidence for the Bible has been enough for countless people (many very intelligent and wise people, I might add) to choose to believe in God, despite not having the kind of irrefutable, tangible proof of God that skeptics tend to demand. I think you assume that evidence just automatically makes you believe in something all the time, but people regularly look at the same evidence and come to different conclusions, often based on prior beliefs or preferences. I mean, there are actually still flat earthers out there, my guy…
What about our tongue? How is it that we can taste sweet, bitter, sour, salty spicy etc.! I mean we can have 10 tongues one is for sweet, one is for sour and all 😅but we have only one and it’s amazing, and it is connected to the brain that says ohhh it’s so delicious or it’s not delicious! Isn’t it that our God is an awesome God?! Olwhats the purpose of our nails? We can have just fingers without it? Well there’s a lot more…
I love how theists skip right over proving morality exists and move into using it as a tool to cultivated their religion.imagine saying unicorms exist because lepricons prove it to be true.
Yes, “right” and “wrong” are absolutely a matter of “personal opinion,” but that’s the point…the OTHER who had the opinion on the matter. It’s ALWAYS your job from “God” to respect their right to exist, as a conscious being who is just as important as you are.
It doesn’t mean that there is an all-powerful conscious being that we have to suck up to. In fact, I think Jesus would be offended, if not downright pissed off about what you think he’d appreciate and what you actually mean when you say “God.” …but yeah, it’s been 2,000 years, and no one seems to get what he was saying, and instead, they make it about worshiping the idea of power above everything else…which is was exactly what Abraham did when he was gonna brutally murder his kid because he thought “The Almighty” was telling him to do so. It’s gross. These power worshipers are not just “praying” in the spirit world, but they’re definitely on their knees. 🤘🤮
The purpose to the game, for YOU, is to learn to love something more than yourself. If you can’t do that, you can’t get out, Mr. Tired, “God” SAYS SO!!!
What the hell are you on about?
.
Tell me dear is your OPINION regarding the "correct" God who's allegedly the basis for morality a "SUBJECTIVE" one or a "OBJECTIVE" one ?? 🙄
Can we use *ANY* "God" as the basis for this "objective" moral standard you speak of or just the SPECIFIC SUBJECTIVE invisible being *YOU* determined to be the "correct" one out of the many thousands man has preposed.? 🙄 🤔
If its the latter then in actuality its *YOU* and YOUR SUBJECTIVE OPINION that is determining morality dear. if its the former, then asserting objectivity to any moral claim based upon a "God" becomes a completely vacuous useless concept 👍
The claim that theistic morality is somehow "objective" is ridiculous. Theists are merely substituting their own subjective moral standards with the morals standards of the god they subjectively determine represents the "correct objective" morality. 🙄🤔
Is killing "just" if it's carried out by people believing it is instructed by a subjective invisible God or only if its the specific subjective invisible God *YOU* determined to be the "correct" one ?? 🤔
I’m sick of people believing trash. That’s what the hell I’m on about.
Morality does not prove a god's existence.
I don't know if there is a god or not. It's not something that I really care that much about. However, to those who say they know there is a god, I have to say that the only proof I would accept that there is such a thing as a god, is if that god appeared before me and convinced me itself that it actually existed.
Yep it’s your choice to believe or to not believe. All Hope dies at death, But if God exist?
(I personally believe in God ) ,
then you / I will be accountable for the sin’s we committed. As you may already know, there are two things we can’t change , The Truth and The Past
#1. Truth- you were presented with the chance to accept Jesus as your savior and have Eternal Life with God.
#2. Past- you rejected Jesus Christ as your savior, therefore now you will consciously exist for all eternity away from the presence of God regretting not accepting the Gift of salvation.
But again if you truly believe Death is the end of everything then that is your Truth.
@@GOD1SF1RST first of all, I didn't say I believed anything. I simply said I do not know if there is a god. Also, you have strange definitions for the word truth. The only thing I know is that people say there is such a thing as salvation from such a thing as a Jesus christ. I do not know those are true. You do not know those are true. Those are simply beliefs. I choose to base my life on what I can actually confirm. Take care.😀
@@bentriderI understand your reply , but I have what’s called Faith in God . Just like when someone tells us they love us, we believe by faith that they do. We cannot prove they love us we just believe. Anyways, have a great day yourself. I will pray for you.
@@GOD1SF1RST yep beliefs are one thing and knowledge is a completely different thing. I'm glad you are not one of those who says that they know there is a god. Take care.
Moral truth is not dependent on the existence of God.
There is no added difficulty in explaining morality on a secular worldview, in fact, I think it's actually MORE coherent than the theist model.
Jesus was truth and truth to ages
Hypocrisy is at least number six or seven to me. Legislating biblical nonsense is my first. Lying about science would be my second. THEN COMES BEING CALLED SATANIC FOR EXPRESSING MY OPINION. Then i have a few personal pet peeves, and then yeah the hypocrisy after that.
Satanic comments are not needed if you are not interested to know true God. Thank you!

The way people talk about this guy I was expecting wwwaaayyy more. Good public speaker and he has charisma but he just dragged out the same old tired arguments I've heard a billion times before. Still not convinced
I've lost interest in the first few seconds. Why have his name in huge letters behind him? Is he a rock star? IS IT ALL ABOUT HIM? I'm inclined to say yes and I have no interest in what a self-aggrandized man in a polo t-shirt has to say.
