+Kaari Mcbride Actually AFAIK, Lucifer just didn't think People should be above the angels, he hated the human race AFAIK. And the fallen angels only cared for their Children, and brought death to the Human race according to the book of enoch.
Who wrote the book of Enoch? When I look at these things I see a Bible that's obviously skewed towards God being right in every circumstance even when it's pretty obvious something is going on. That something isn't... Kosher. I don't think we're getting both sides, you know? Also I don't actually believe in any of it but it's still fun to think about.
+Kaari Mcbride LOL oh come on, you can either believe the story or you can't. Who wrote the story? Well if you believe in god, the fallen angels etc, are real, then obviously the descendants of the witnesses and survivors of the events, who would have been noah and co. wrote the story. Who also would be your ancestors. You can't sympathises with the fallen angels, even the pagan religions say that Azazel/Toth/Hermes deliberately introduced Weapons and War to people......what a fucking arsehole lol
Boredand Faartless I think Noah would be an untrustworthy narrator. He'd just seen God literally murder the entire world save a few people and a handful of animals. I'd be praising so hard if I was that afraid. That's why I think the bible is a little one sided, obviously it's told from one perspective that strongly believes in one series of events. But looking at what God has done in the bible I think I have enough to say that he's done more evil then Satan or his Fallen. The difference between Pagan Gods and the Christian God is that Hermes doesn't claim to be all knowing or perfectly good. He's just a guy that does what he wants. God makes claims that are inconsistent with his behavior and his behavior is consistent with the Definition of evil. It's fair to say that Lucifer knew God pretty well, as did the angels that chose Lucifer over God. We hear that Lucifer was vain and prideful but, maybe this was justified. Maybe he would've been a better God.
God is not bound by our little minds. He can proclaim a universally applicable principle and still reserve the right to a few exceptions, if it fits in with His endgame, namely to preserve a people who would take good notes and not mix in their own opinions on the things they witness and hear God say (the Bible), and this was the nation that would see Jesus born among them and save the "whoso's", (whosoever will believe.)
Lee Knox Actually he is bound by our little minds cause he doesn't seem to exist outside of them 😂 what a bullshit excuse to try to protect such a moral monster.
...Thanks for your honesty! I appreciate naked opinions. My question to you is, would you please list out for me a few of the things you believe qualifies this loving God as a "moral monster"? Perhaps I can explain it within the context of the verse. I have had to find out for myself many of the same objections I find here on this website. So I have deeply studied the Bible and have had all my questions answered so far.
Lee Knox Ruining a man's life and reputation, and physical form, making him believe he had did wrong in a bet with the devil to see just how devoted he was despite knowing the conclusion and inatead of bringing back his original family simple 'getting' him new ones as if humans are replacable toys. A man that for the purpose of the experiment was both just and pious, never doing anything to deserve it.
"when the knives and the foreskins start flying around, it's a pretty good sign that things have gotten way out of hands" The Old Testicles (foreskinus 25:25)
I think it is the worst verse in the Bible, and shows how God himself, supposedly perfectly moral being, actually takes away a person's free will and force him to disobey him, and then use that as an excuse to kill the firstborn of all non Jews. Amazingly, Christians still have their way around it. They say Pharoah hardened his own heart before God did it as punishment. It's so amazing how twisted their minds are. It's like your son disobeying u, and then you force him to disobey you further, which you then use as the excuse for killing him for disobeying you. And yet you are considered moral while your son is depraved. Fucked up book.
God has a plan for us all. But God doesn't want to interfere with our free will. but he has planned everything out and knows what you're going to do; there by nullifying the idea of freewill, and if he has planned everything out already, he has already interfered with our freewill, but... *Explodes*
+Robert Eli If you're being serious (which I doubt), would you care to elaborate? Logic and Theology both happen to be my thing, and I rarely get the chance to discuss them both together... ;)
+Mango Float Have you *honestly* never come across that particular "good one" before? (Actually, it's not *that* good... see below). It's one of the most common objections to the co-existence of an omniscient Higher Power *and* human Free Will. It's been around for not just years, but centuries. In fact, millennia (although normally argued a little more, er, sensibly, shall we say? :D ). Long before TH-cam comments, anyway, that's for sure! ;)
+Crimson Vulpes _Short summary:_ Knowing *all possible futures* does not necessarily imply knowing *which one will occur*. An omniscient Higher Power (the nature of which is *NOT* limited solely to that of the Abrahamic "God") can know *everything we can or could possibly do*... but not necessarily which of those things we *WILL* do. Furthermore: who can say whether or not the Higher Power even *HAS* "a plan for us all"...? *MUCH* more in-depth explanation follows! :D 1. There are as many ways to (try to) understand the Higher Power as there are conscious minds capable of doing so. No one person’s view of the Higher Power will be precisely identical to any other’s, nor is any one person’s view more valid or "true" (a problematic concept in itself) than any other’s. One common view (and, it has to be said, a *very* easy, even trivial, target for satire such as this video features) includes the "traditional" concept of a rather anthropomorphic, Abrahamic "God", who has a pre-conceived "plan" for each human being to follow. But this is just *ONE* view of the Higher Power, and is professed by only a percentage of Humanity. Why not consider the many *other* views which exist - or formulate your own, if *none* of them resonates with you...? 2. There is no reason why the Higher Power would or even *should* have "a plan for us all" - or indeed a "plan" for anyone or anything at all. Some religious texts, or interpretations of those texts, state that this is the case, and yet these texts - and their interpretations - are works written by human beings, who are fallible and whose views also vary wildly. To try to circumscribe or dictate the nature or intentions of the Higher Power is beyond the capability of any mortal being: it is so far above our comprehension that, although we can certainly form a spiritual relationship with it, any attempt to claim true understanding of its "motives" (far too human a term in any case) is at best mistaken and at worst simply arrogant. 3. The argument that the omniscience (including foreknowledge) of the Higher Power conflicts with or negates the possession of Free Will by finite beings (such as humans) may appear problematic, but is, in fact, very easy to refute. Consider the following, if you will: An infinitely powerful computer, programmed with complete knowledge of every possible move that can be made in a game of chess (and therefore knowing every possible outcome of every possible game of chess that could ever occur) is observing two people playing a game of chess (for the sake of argument, let's assume that a computer *CAN* observe... we're not debating cybernetics here!). Every time each person takes their turn, and moves a chess piece, the computer immediately calculates *every possible move and every possible outcome of the game* from that point onwards. Every time another piece is moved, the computer does the same; discarding moves no longer possible and re-calculating all possible moves that *DO* remain, together with all possible remaining outcomes, including any *NEW* outcomes which may now have become possible. Therefore, at any given point in the game, the computer knows *all possible moves by both players* from that point onwards. It also knows, even as the ongoing situation changes, *every possible outcome of the entire game*. It is, therefore, omniscient *AND* has complete foreknowledge (in this simplified case, regarding solely a game of chess). But does the computer know either (a) exactly *WHICH* piece - out of all the possibilities - each person will move next, or (b) precisely *WHICH* of the virtually infinite number of outcomes of the game will, in fact, come to pass? No. It does not. It *cannot* know these things, because (for finite beings such as humans, which exist - unlike the infinite Higher Power - within the confines of Time) they lie in the future - a concept which has meaning *ONLY* for finite beings or entities - and the future *does not exist*: what we call "the future" constantly changes according to the events of the present (which, in itself, is an illusion which *also* does not truly exist, since at all times we *actually* experience events not *as they occur*, but *AFTER* their occurrence, slightly in the past. *THAT*, however, is a discussion for another time!). Therefore, the computer knows *everything* that each player *can or might* do, but not exactly which of these possibilities they *will* choose. It also knows *every possible way* in which the game of chess *could or might* finish, but not how the game *actually WILL finish*. Now: substitute "Higher Power" for "computer", "life in general" for "a game of chess", and "any/all possible actions of human beings" for "any/all possible moves in a chess game". What do you have? Yes, both a Higher Power which has infinite knowledge (*including* foreknowledge) - that is, omniscience - regarding all possible human actions and futures, *AND* human beings who, simultaneously, possess the necessary Free Will to choose *which* of the infinite possible actions they will take, and, consequently, *which* of the possible futures will result (since, as stated above, "the future", as we understand it, changes constantly according to ongoing actions/events, and is thus created by such and wholly dependent thereon). Of course, there is no place in the above for any "Divine plan" - but, as I have said, *why* should such a plan exist...? Who can, after all, know the intentions of the Higher Power - even assuming that it has any such "intentions" - or, if you like: who can read the mind of God? One can even substitute "random Cosmic events" for "chess moves", and then see that, while the Higher Power may (I would say certainly *DOES*) know all *possible* events within (and futures for) the Universe itself, it does *NOT* necessarily follow that the Higher Power knows specifically *WHICH* events or future(s) will actually occur - meaning, of course, that even the Higher Power does not *specifically dictate* the ultimate fate of the Universe or the events along that path. See? Not so hard, is it, if one removes the (false) "Divine plan" idea... and it doesn't even require anyone to explode... ;)
Maiel Brown Because God came in flesh through the person of Jesus. He did miracles for 3years PUBLICLY, he died PUBLICLY and he rose from the dead PUBLICLY. -> and all the public told the rest of the world. Furthermore, millions of people experiment God in their lives everyday in the world. You almost need more faith to be an atheist than to be a christian.
Thanks. And I'm not an atheist by the way. I was just wondering.. curious about some stuff. My faith isn't that stable, that's why I'm searching for answers.
Its funny how all these many many "miracles" happened in an age where there was no reporters. Where are the miracles these days? oh yeah, we discovered science...
Religion(christianity) was invented to impose morality and natural roles into poor and uneducated populations And To avoid what is going on with most atheist today, who worship the State and vote for less freedoms like if it were just another religion. Exactly the same that happened in the USSR. Once you understand how most humans are too stupid and lazy to think forthemselves in the long run(specially females) you appreciate christianity
You are right, they shouldn't and I don't know of any christian that is mad at the makers of these cartoons, that would violate the rule of love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, compassion, love. Man will fail in all aspects of life, that is his/her nature. Not wanting to understand the only words that could help man's evolve to a better being? That's free will for you.
Robert Eli I know how you feel. My family is Catholic, but I just pretend to mouth the words whenever we pray at lunch or dinner. I think they pretty much know I'm an atheist.
C. Venom at my school I let someone borrow the book Paper Towns by John Green. They found out about this and I got in sooooooooo much trouble. They told me I was reading "pornography" XD. My family is okay with me reading books and stuff that aren't Christian, but when they heard about this they told me to "pray" about it. I'm just here like (-_-)
Im lucky i turned agnostic at 10 when i started to frequent a good school that had more detaled information about evolution the solar system and it's origins the big bang from what the body is made etc and now that I discovered this channel I started to have even more arguments agaist christians to prove that they are wrong
So you like simple animation huh? Then I suggest you watch this one called "The Egg" for a different perspective on things: th-cam.com/video/h6fcK_fRYaI/w-d-xo.html
Theists just kinda skip over the "bad bits" of the bible and only accept the bits where God is good, moral and loving Talk about rose tinted spectacles!
deathskilledreaper no it's not my real name and i'm not japanese, and I'm pretty sure Uchiha is NOT a real last name, but most other clans in naruto actually do exist :)
+Rose Uchiha Sorry didn't mean to generalize or make it seem like I knew you. Actually Uchiha is a last name as I know a family here in Colorado with that name. I don't know how common it is, but I do know real people with that name.
"Sorry baby...Your hoo hoo isn't exactly unleavened at the moment." Omg I almost died laughing. I thought I would use it on my wife as a joke for sexy time. She didn't find it as funny as I did...
It just occurred to me that believing that the bible is a work of non-fiction, is like reading J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Silmarillion and thinking it Tolkien was a prophet who wrote the real origin story of the universe. It's quite stupid.
DarkMatter2525 The first time I watched a video of yours I hurried up and shut it off. I thought for sure god was going to punish me, (no joke). It would take a couple of years and hundreds of hours on TH-cam watching you and others that made me finally read the entire bible, after 20 years as a Christian. I'm now an atheist and ironically I just finished a video series on slavery that will be going up on my personal Facebook page. It's very uncomfortable to do but needs to be done. Thanks you so much for your work. ;)
Takes courage to challenge your own beliefs. Also takes to admit reluctance and even past ignorance too. Thankfully I didn't have to wrestle with such a challenge as I was never inducted to any religion or group. Good for you bro.
hildegain Ya thanks, I went a little crazy for a while but I'm getting better. Videos are my therapy. Watching others or doing research for making my own help me learn more and get past the bullshit.
Wordoffakes Yeah, that's good therapy. I personally love watching SpaceRip videos. I know pretty much everything they show but they present it so well XD
The animated movie, Prince of Egypt, really sugarcoated this story. Glad I could watch this video now that I'm older and really see it for what it really is.
Honestly the Prince of Egypt did a better job telling the story than the actual story. Though maybe that's me being biased because that's my favorite animated DreamWorks movie.
@@angelsartandgaming that makes me think, I actually like the story when it's sugarcoated and used as an universal anti-slavery myth. Kind of like how modern depictions of greek mythology don't tell the horrible things it has yet are enjoyable
This, to me, is the most incomprehensible verse in the whole Bible, and yet most people just blip right over it without a second thought: Moses met with Pharaoh? How on God's green earth did he manage that? Pharaoh was the human incarnation of the sun god. A dirty, hairy, smelly shepherd comes bumbling in out of the desert and requests an audience? They'd put him in chains, drag him to the Nile, and feed him to the crocodiles.
He was adopted into Pharaoh's family as a baby, found out he was an Israelite, saw a dude beating and Israelite, killed the dude, and ran away. So they probably wanted him back. Plus, Moses had Aaron talk to him because he complained about a speech impediment to God.
+Jacob Martin (1) "...killed the dude, and ran away." Moses had been away for so long, everyone forgot about him. (2) "...he complained about a speech impediment." He had been away for so long, he forgot how to speak Egyptian.
Edward Wood 1- They didn't completely forget him, and if someone has a demand or else their God would avenge them, I think that could get the Pharaoh's attention. Plus, He could have fun arguing with who was basically a nobody. Plus, if the God of bible really was there, i think he could make a way pretty easily. 2- even if that's the case, which is isn't, since he had lived there his whole childhood to adulthood, then there's another reason to have Aaron.
I'm egyptian and I find it hilarious when Egyptian copts and muslims stand with moses while hearing these stories and being excited that the Egyptian king drowned in the story Religion could brainwash you enough to believe in fictions that even offends your great history
This video here makes me wanna recommend the good, non-angry kind of Atheist-TH-camrs, so Atheism spreads the right way. Try Prophet of Zod, Telltale, GMS, Rhino and Bob the Science Guy.
@@loturzelrestaurant The right way? Pointing out logical inconsistenties and calling out the pure fairy tale nonsense for what it is are both perfectly fine methods for deconverting the brainwashed. The right way is whatever way convinces the most people to grow up. Every way is the right way, barring maybe torture and the like.
@@Xeroisawesome Other Atheist-TH-camrs do it better cause they do it more respectufl. Prophet of Zod, GMS and Logicked are just better at de-converting Christians.
TrickyTrickyFox It was actually born somewhere around the 50s, if I'm not misinformed, with the rise of post WW2 comic books and the connected rise of action figurines. Up to that point there had only been dolls, marketed towards girls. The term action figure was then invented to make a fake distinction between two qualitatively identical toys to market them to boys. Many parents saw right through that bullshit though, and so when they said "No boy of mine is gonna be playing with dolls!" in all their patriarchal glory the boy would defend with "They're not dolls, they're action figures!"
The story of the Exodus was one of the most horrifying things that I have ever read, since god performed horrifying atrocities (plagues) against the Egyptians which would land his supernatural ass in a war crimes tribunal. Sending a hit man to cut down innocent children to troll the pharaoh proved that god is psychotic.
Agreed. Have you read Judges or Numbers? They're even more brutal. If I learned anything from those books, it's that god is a hypocritical murderous tyrant. I stopped believing in god after I finished reading the bible.
ssnoogans89 Good for you, because god is a hypocrite, sexist, rapist, lieing, stealing, and Genocidal Murdering character.... I have high hopes for you, because the bible is rather addicting and I still am having withdrawls from being away from religion. I am just so pissed off that I have been worshipping a fake deal, and it all seemed perfect, but FUCK NO....
I don't know... I think I've read worse....the judges decision in Roe vs Wade. An innocent baby gets cut out of the comfort of her mother's womb by a crazy woman and doesn't get justice because she is not considered a person unless it could be proved (which of course it couldn't) she took a breath outside of her mother's womb. Millions of babies are murdered in a much worse way each year. But atheists are more concerned about a bakery that will not make a wedding cake for a same sex couple because the owner of the bakery feels that it violates her principles. So atheist are more concerned with shutting her down than defending the life of an innocent baby. At least from Exodus we know that God actions were in condescension to people of a barbaric mindset. But clearly we should be more civilized to today than to have to resort to the institutionalized murder of innocent babies because atheists don't consider the unborn as a person worth protecting. We know from the bible that God took no pleasure on enacting justice against wicked nations. But atheist seem pleased over their control on abortion.
brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away. repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down." you will lose almost everything important to you. please, for your sakes, repent and turn to Jesus. He is, in the words of Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also better than lust. love > lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you. Ayo I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested (read on)
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God knew we were wack, but He decided He was still come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot. religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27) also, we have various types of evidence that backs up tthe Bible. Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day. The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info). We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff The Holy Spirit exists. I was a slave to s3xual sin for 7-ish d@mn years. Finally at 16, God freed me. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now. also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night. There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as: Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion; Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son) Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified. Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers (See cold-case Christianity for more details) Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection: 1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect) 2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs 3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus 4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone 5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus). 6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback) faith, science, and reason, people hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general
Why is all the so called miracles of god so unimpressive? Can’t god know who to kill and who not to kill without lambs blood painted on door posts? Can’t god just teleport the Israelites across the Red Sea without making them walk through it? Couldn’t god just make the Egyptians chariots and weapons disappear? All the so called miracles doesn’t seem powerful enough to be from real creator of the universe. It seems like technological tricks done by beings with high tech.
I have a question for Christians. God has clearly violated people's free will multiple times in the Bible, so why doesn't he violate the free will of every well off person and make everyone collaborate together to help the poor? We would have no more poverty, and crime would be almost completely eradicated.
r36125yt Have you not watched the video? Pharoah wanted to let the people go (after seeing that God meant business), but God hardened his heart so he would not. So yes, God made Pharoah continue to do evil. It doesn't matter if he previously wanted to do evil, or that he would've continued if God did not send the plagues. He wanted to stop, and God wouldn't let him. Reason for wanting to stop is irrelevant, God forced Pharoah to continue with the "evil" choice.
Overlord Valvatorez No Pharaoh did not want to let them go. He was defeated and had no choice in the matter and was angry about it. He wasn't moved at all by discovering the true God. Atheists say they would become believers if God would reveal Himself but it is not enough to believe. There must also be a change of heart. Pharaoh received proof yet his heart unchanged. Unlike us, God can see into a man's future and decided to pass judgement on Pharaoh then and there for the benefit of future generations. The point is that it is not enough to just believe in God. Even the devil believes in God. Moses, through God, parted the Red Sea, yet the Israelites still ended up turning against God in the end. If people want proof of God before choosing a moral life, their future is grim. With God, goodness must be chosen for the sake of goodness and then God reveals Himself. You won't learn the truth about the bible from a hostile video.
Overlord Valvatorez Something else you won't learn from these videos. God "hardens ones heart" by permission. For example the devil could only do what he did to Job through permission from God. With Pharaoh God did the same. The devil could not convince Job to commit evil because Job was good. It worked the same with Pharaoh. But the devil was able to influence Pharaoh through his own free will and Pharaoh's inclination towards evil.

All the "Bible scholars" agree that the "pharaoh" in this story must be Rameses II. Problem? He ruled during the 13th century BC. The Israelites did not exist that early. Exodus never happened.
DarkMatter2525 DM (hey our initials match!) I had thought when I herd the starwars music that "God" would have one of the figures be darth vadar - his helm being made out of the "part" - explaining why he wants them cut off - so he can replace the darth vadar helm (he keeps losing it)
You know that actually reminds me of being told about King Herod ordering a ton of babies killed during an RE lesson at my Christian primary school. I think I was in year 5, meaning I would’ve been only 9 or 10 years old at the time. Looking back, I was probably too young to be hearing about that considering how it freaked me out at the time.
DarkMatter2525 I like how in this video God basically privately admits to being evil, but intentionally fooling people into thinking he's good. Of course, in the real world it's not the gods who fool people into thinking they're good. It's humans who convince each other of the goodness and for that matter existence of the particular gods they've either been fooled into believing in, or found ways to profit from other people believing in.
***** With that segway, here's a little story I just made up using DarkMatter2525's Jeffrey character, and of course, Yahweh/God. (Feel free to share it.) Picture this... Some theist who's pissed off at God has been challenging God to strike him dead for hours, and people are taking notice. If an atheist did it, they would just say God doesn't perform miracles for disbelievers, but here's a theist yelling stuff like "I miss my wife and I know you sent her to Hell for being an atheist. Send me too you son of... yourself!" As he's walking down the street ranting, a church lets out and people who know him start pleading with him, saying they understand, his wife was a good person, and begging God to grant his request. Farther down the street, they pass by an atheist gathering of some type. The atheists join in, but even start mocking God saying "You can't do it, huh?" and stuff like that. Telling God to go ahead and send the poor guy to Hell and them with him. The man yells out "Come on God, just squash me with your little finger and send me to be with my wife." Just then, out of the sky comes this HUGE hand, and its little finger comes right down on the guy, making a puff of fire and smoke as it touches him, and he's gone. All of a sudden the atheists are saying they've changed their mind and don't want to go with... saying stuff like "God, that was pretty bad. Hey, could you like talk to us now that you're out of hiding?" Now we back away from this scene to see that it is taking place in an image on a cloud-shaped thought bubble, over a sleeping Yahweh. Jeffrey comes in and wakes up God, telling him there's a theist down on Earth who's been begging to be sent to hell for so long that he's got a crowd of both atheists and theists yelling along with him, while the God they're yelling at isn't responding because he's asleep. Yahwah smugly tells Jeffrey "Relax. I took care to the little trouble maker.". Jeffrey replies: Yeah... In your dreams!
Donald Kronos i actually find both theists and atheists closed minded in your comment. How can anyone be sure they know what happens? the bible doesn't tell us that, so how can we know? Science also can't explain what happens to you after you die besides what happens to your body. I find it arrogant for people to assume they know what will happen.
***** that is very closed minded of you. You say you are an atheist, yet you claim you know what theist believes in. If you are not affiliated with them, then how can you make assumptions like the one you just made?
***** because not all Christians believe everything the bible tells them and not all theists are Christians. and no that is not a fact, that is your opinion.
So, hmm, apparently, some grammatical differences between the NIV and KJV Bibles make this story pretty different. In the KJV, God doesn't try to kill Moses; he, having foreknowledge that he will kill the firstborn, goes to immediately kill the Pharaoh's kid. While that's happening, Moses is forcibly holding down their son while his wife circumcises him, so God won't kill the kid. I found an article explaining this at length, as if it's still a great thing, when really, it's a horrifying thing.
@@sussiea9221 the whole thing is basically "god is omni benevolent, loving, present, yet he spends the entire book doing the exact opposite of all those things for arbitrary reasons. As the video suggests, take some time to think through the implications of what god does and you'll see.
they have to do that it would be good if Jeffry said"god I'm sick of this bullshit I'm taking the throne " and then Jeffrey beats the shit out of god, ha!!! can you imagine!?
Thank you for bringing up the "harden the Pharaoh's heart" part of this story. No one EVER mentions it...probably because it is a key piece of information on the long trail to realizing that the God character is a basically what everyone claims the devil is...a self worshiping trickster.
So you like simple animation huh? Then I suggest you watch this one called "The Egg" for a different perspective on things: th-cam.com/video/h6fcK_fRYaI/w-d-xo.html
That doesn’t have anything to do with this. This isn't a hypothetical work of fiction (although it’s based on one called the Bible) . I watched and really loved the Egg but this is what your God is really like not the one in that animation.
I got into a debate with a Jehovah witness about this I said that God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" and he claimed that it was Pharaoh that "hardened his own heart". He asked where in the Bible it states that God hardened Pharaoh's heart and that it must be the wrong translation. So, I went to Biblehub (I am always on there when I watch these videos, because sometimes I just can't believe it actually says the things it says and I want to see what the actual words are) and gave him a dozen examples from different translations including his own New World Translation.
I remember reading this in Catholic school and even though I wasn't strictly religious or not, I was disgusted... I told my teacher that God clearly wasn't good if he murdered innocent children who could've done good with their lives and had no control over their circumstances, pretty sure that was the start of me not being religious any more. Even now, it shocks me how horrific this is. I can't believe people worship a monster like that. Christians say 'it's all about the new testament' but I don't see how you can just disregard a whole text that is meant to be part of your religion. Still, I'd appreciate some videos on the New Testament (I know the stories in there are way more boring, but I'm sure there's some good material :) )
I was brought up as a christian and was a christian for a long time but as I grew older I started to see the discrepancies within the bible and disagreed with a lot of things in it like god flooding the entire earth for example. Right now I am indifferent I don't fully agree that there is a god nor do I disagree that there is not one.
Bullitt Same for me. I'm not opposed to spirituality but I think that religion can be very dangerous. And no religion is without nonsense so I doubt any are true.
I cannot help to wonder how I would have viewed these videos about 37 years ago when I was still a believer in the Bible. Would I have seen the irony or would have been disgusted and put forward circular arguments for God? I wonder.
I never paid much attention to these videos, I've never even watched them, but holy shit I love it so much. It blends intelligence, humor, and information perfectly. Plus it has me laughing almost every minute. Definitely subscribing.
DarkMatter2525, you did a bunch of work and I congratulate you n a job well done. I grew up in church and have done two years of seminary (useful but not relevant to my life for the purpose I originally went) and this is a very good simplification of the plot of the Exodus.
raveeno2005 I really don't mean to start a console war, or a PC master race debate, but that's more of a PC than anything. I don't see where you get Playstation from, since that's Dark Souls II, available on PC, Xbox 360 and One, and PS3/4. The controller doesn't give anything away, and doesn't really restrict it to consoles either, since many PC gamers have a controller hooked up to their rig. But, the display looks like a monitor, sitting on a desk, and he is sitting right in front of the desk, as you would a PC, whereas, more likely than not, consoles are in the living room hooked up to a TV, and the player plays from the couch.
***** Your point? that is completely irrelevant to what I said. My point was, given the clues of the context with no explicit display of the machine, the machine is more likely to be a PC. And I know that there may be some people will hook up their console to a monitor and play that way, but more likely than not that will be a PC hooked up to the monitor.
Death Pork ah you're right. I thought firelink shrine was mid earthen peak for some reason. Either way though, they're both available on all 3 platforms previously mentioned so it doesn't matter.
But, you guysuh! If you don't play Playstation you will go to Hell forever! For the Japanese so loved the world that they gave us PS1, PS2 and PS3 and now PS4 not to condemn the world but that the world through them might play. Those who reject must burn, at least I hope they do.
Basta recker atleast you dont have to pay to play online on ps3 and its all nonsense about the graphic being better on xbox. I've played the same game on ps3 and xbox360 and i hardly notice any difference.
I really enjoy your toons. I was a devout christian for ten years and studied the bible daily, went to church and watched televangelist. I constantly denied myself and lied to myself to over look how much of a piece of shit god is. I enslaved myself to the concept of god and became a lovingly judgmental liar. I've been free now for ten years. After my apostasy I am able to be myself with out feeling guilt. I am better now than I was and I'm never going back.
0:56 sums up alot. Wont stop it because its wrong, he'll stop it OR JUST WONT DO ANYTHING because he has a vow... Cant believe gods so loving that he puts his word above his "children"
This is easily my favourite of all your videos. It's clever, thought-provoking, contains interesting insight's into the character of the God of the Bible, and it highlights the double standards and hypocrisy of God perfectly. And it was fucking hilarious. I loved the Space Balls and Star Wars pop culture references, I loved the slastick humour "jesus christ you scared me!", and I giggled myself silly at the burning bush scene.
Every time a rabbi is asked about these, um, "controversial" passages in the Torah, their response is always "you can't take them out of context. You have to read the Whole Thing. Only Then can you understand the true meaning of the Torah!" And if you read the entire ponderous tome and you still come to the conclusion that this is a contradictory, capricious, bloodthirsty psychopath who is obsessed with blind worship, they'll say "you obviously missed the point". Then they use convoluted mental gymnastics to explain why all of these evil things are actually good and holy, if you "just understand the intention". Which is exactly what every priest and imam does with the New Testament and the Quran.
I find it HILARIOUS how many "christians" watch these vids and try to bash them, when all that's being presented is exactly what's in the bible. It's amazing how religious people can bash someone like the author who is showing them what that sickening book contains, but they won't bash the bible itself.. The bible most of them never bothered to read of course.... And if they did bother to read it and they still think this shit is ok - then they are just as psychopathic as the lord. Judging by the amount of so called believers that come back and watch these vids over and over again, maybe the message is getting across and is starting to break down some religious programming. ITS JUST A BOOK EVERYONE> You don't have to give up your whole life to this insanity just because someone convinced you to do so when you were a child. You are adults now, start to use the brain that the creator (whatever he/she/it is) gave you. Way to go Darkmatter2525! :)
So you think all along no one ever noticed these stories until videos were made about them. I'm pretty sure if videos kicking Islam, Buddhism, or Hinduism were made they'd be standing up for their beliefs too. Atleast be honest with yourself and admit their is bias within how these characters act. You maybe think that the style in which the stories are told are may be inhibiting understanding of Gods nature?
you say that all that is being presented is in the Bible. but he isn't presenting ALL thats in the Bible. hes taking parts out of contexts so you can twist them with your mind. wonder why he didnt mention that ALL God required if you didnt want your first born son to die was to offer a symbolic sacrifice to him.. all small and common and fairly easy task back in those days. if darkmatter is so unbiased why would he leave out that small detail? seems kinda important doesnt it?? Dont be fooled by what seems to balanced information.. about as balanced as Fox news. Satanic Masons use the same techniques of twisting the words of the Bible to confuse the unsuspecting. I read the Bible for my self so these foolish tricks will never work on me
Well, at the part about Exodus 11:4-5, the Bible translations looks like they are trying to conceal the fact that OTHER SLAVES suffered. For instance, in my mother language, the words "slave girl" is translated to "female maid servant" or "maid servant" similar to KJV. Only in a few translations, like NIV, or The Message that it was tranlated as "slave girl". It sends chills down my spine and my heartache at reading it, though I know that historically the Ten Plagues and The Exodus probably did not happen.
Alon Asaf well circumcising is only done so men have harder time masturbating and having sex so with a foreskin it’s easier (and more pleasurable) to do these things
Evidently not, when more souls are in Hell then Heaven, and God supposedly abandons that place altogether... Fur alle Zeit und ewigkeit, nicht Eine schlafen im Satan's Reich...
Jeremy Harden Your german is pretty good ;), but only IF He really abondons that place and then still the souls would technically belong to him, but he just doesn't claim them, right?
Its really confusing me, because I am like getting attacked by demons for not believing in christainity anymore. I am not joking either, and it just proves that evil is in the good system of religion. Even though I am kinda scared to sleep anymore, therefore I am not going to bow down to a fucking fairy tale story of god, jesus, and the rest of the bull crap in the bible.
Darkmatter2525 should also find something curious about the verse Exodus 11:4-6, where for a long time it is deliberatedly translated to "servant girl" or "maid servant" to conceal the fact that even slaves suffered. It it curious that it was slave girl's firstborn being referred to ? That slave girl could well have been either a widow, or a rape victim!!! I mean this Yahweh is the worst asshole in any literature!!
***** The Bible most of us read in the English word, as well as in Chinese, has translated the word "slave girl" to "maid servant", thereby misleading people to believe that ONLY ISRAELITES in Egypt were slaves, and there were no other slaves. This view was furthered popularized by movies like The Ten Commandments, and the Prince of Egypt, and also by churches' teachings in Sunday schools. Have it not been for emergence of updated translations like NIV, NRSV, The Message, The Living Bible, NASB etc.that this crucial detail is revealed - YahWeh slaughtered even the firstborn sons of female slaves......
what i'm saying is, that whenever i take a verse that is immoral from the bible, people always say that that translation is incorrect. so my question is that how would you know with translation is right or not.
Really makes you wonder why so many Angels thought that Lucifer would make a better leader.
+Kaari Mcbride Poor Lucy Fur...
+Kaari Mcbride Actually AFAIK, Lucifer just didn't think People should be above the angels, he hated the human race AFAIK. And the fallen angels only cared for their Children, and brought death to the Human race according to the book of enoch.
Who wrote the book of Enoch? When I look at these things I see a Bible that's obviously skewed towards God being right in every circumstance even when it's pretty obvious something is going on. That something isn't... Kosher. I don't think we're getting both sides, you know? Also I don't actually believe in any of it but it's still fun to think about.
+Kaari Mcbride LOL oh come on, you can either believe the story or you can't. Who wrote the story? Well if you believe in god, the fallen angels etc, are real, then obviously the descendants of the witnesses and survivors of the events, who would have been noah and co. wrote the story. Who also would be your ancestors. You can't sympathises with the fallen angels, even the pagan religions say that Azazel/Toth/Hermes deliberately introduced Weapons and War to people......what a fucking arsehole lol
Boredand Faartless I think Noah would be an untrustworthy narrator. He'd just seen God literally murder the entire world save a few people and a handful of animals. I'd be praising so hard if I was that afraid. That's why I think the bible is a little one sided, obviously it's told from one perspective that strongly believes in one series of events. But looking at what God has done in the bible I think I have enough to say that he's done more evil then Satan or his Fallen. The difference between Pagan Gods and the Christian God is that Hermes doesn't claim to be all knowing or perfectly good. He's just a guy that does what he wants. God makes claims that are inconsistent with his behavior and his behavior is consistent with the Definition of evil. It's fair to say that Lucifer knew God pretty well, as did the angels that chose Lucifer over God. We hear that Lucifer was vain and prideful but, maybe this was justified. Maybe he would've been a better God.
"God respects free will"
"God hardened Pharohs heart"
Yeesh, talk about a paradox
God is not bound by our little minds. He can proclaim a universally applicable principle and still reserve the right to a few exceptions, if it fits in with His endgame, namely to preserve a people who would take good notes and not mix in their own opinions on the things they witness and hear God say (the Bible), and this was the nation that would see Jesus born among them and save the "whoso's", (whosoever will believe.)
Lee Knox Actually he is bound by our little minds cause he doesn't seem to exist outside of them 😂 what a bullshit excuse to try to protect such a moral monster.
Lee Knox So what your saying is god can create a standard and then ignore it. A few exceptions is still brraking the rules.
...Thanks for your honesty! I appreciate naked opinions. My question to you is, would you please list out for me a few of the things you believe qualifies this loving God as a "moral monster"? Perhaps I can explain it within the context of the verse. I have had to find out for myself many of the same objections I find here on this website. So I have deeply studied the Bible and have had all my questions answered so far.
Lee Knox Ruining a man's life and reputation, and physical form, making him believe he had did wrong in a bet with the devil to see just how devoted he was despite knowing the conclusion and inatead of bringing back his original family simple 'getting' him new ones as if humans are replacable toys. A man that for the purpose of the experiment was both just and pious, never doing anything to deserve it.

Thought through, "the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart" is one of the most damning lines in the whole book.
Indeed. Reading just that as a child turned my indifference towards yhwh into disgust. I didn't need to read any more of his "holy" book.
I think it is the worst verse in the Bible, and shows how God himself, supposedly perfectly moral being, actually takes away a person's free will and force him to disobey him, and then use that as an excuse to kill the firstborn of all non Jews. Amazingly, Christians still have their way around it. They say Pharoah hardened his own heart before God did it as punishment. It's so amazing how twisted their minds are. It's like your son disobeying u, and then you force him to disobey you further, which you then use as the excuse for killing him for disobeying you. And yet you are considered moral while your son is depraved. Fucked up book.

God has a plan for us all. But God doesn't want to interfere with our free will. but he has planned everything out and knows what you're going to do; there by nullifying the idea of freewill, and if he has planned everything out already, he has already interfered with our freewill, but... *Explodes*

Have you *honestly* never come across that particular "good one" before? (Actually, it's not *that* good... see below).
It's one of the most common objections to the co-existence of an omniscient Higher Power *and* human Free Will.
It's been around for not just years, but centuries. In fact, millennia (although normally argued a little more, er, sensibly, shall we say? :D ). Long before TH-cam comments, anyway, that's for sure! ;)
+Crimson Vulpes
_Short summary:_ Knowing *all possible futures* does not necessarily imply knowing *which one will occur*. An omniscient Higher Power (the nature of which is *NOT* limited solely to that of the Abrahamic "God") can know *everything we can or could possibly do*... but not necessarily which of those things we *WILL* do. Furthermore: who can say whether or not the Higher Power even *HAS* "a plan for us all"...? *MUCH* more in-depth explanation follows! :D
1. There are as many ways to (try to) understand the Higher Power as there are conscious minds capable of doing so. No one person’s view of the Higher Power will be precisely identical to any other’s, nor is any one person’s view more valid or "true" (a problematic concept in itself) than any other’s.
One common view (and, it has to be said, a *very* easy, even trivial, target for satire such as this video features) includes the "traditional" concept of a rather anthropomorphic, Abrahamic "God", who has a pre-conceived "plan" for each human being to follow. But this is just *ONE* view of the Higher Power, and is professed by only a percentage of Humanity. Why not consider the many *other* views which exist - or formulate your own, if *none* of them resonates with you...?
2. There is no reason why the Higher Power would or even *should* have "a plan for us all" - or indeed a "plan" for anyone or anything at all. Some religious texts, or interpretations of those texts, state that this is the case, and yet these texts - and their interpretations - are works written by human beings, who are fallible and whose views also vary wildly. To try to circumscribe or dictate the nature or intentions of the Higher Power is beyond the capability of any mortal being: it is so far above our comprehension that, although we can certainly form a spiritual relationship with it, any attempt to claim true understanding of its "motives" (far too human a term in any case) is at best mistaken and at worst simply arrogant.
3. The argument that the omniscience (including foreknowledge) of the Higher Power conflicts with or negates the possession of Free Will by finite beings (such as humans) may appear problematic, but is, in fact, very easy to refute.
Consider the following, if you will:
An infinitely powerful computer, programmed with complete knowledge of every possible move that can be made in a game of chess (and therefore knowing every possible outcome of every possible game of chess that could ever occur) is observing two people playing a game of chess (for the sake of argument, let's assume that a computer *CAN* observe... we're not debating cybernetics here!).
Every time each person takes their turn, and moves a chess piece, the computer immediately calculates *every possible move and every possible outcome of the game* from that point onwards.
Every time another piece is moved, the computer does the same; discarding moves no longer possible and re-calculating all possible moves that *DO* remain, together with all possible remaining outcomes, including any *NEW* outcomes which may now have become possible.
Therefore, at any given point in the game, the computer knows *all possible moves by both players* from that point onwards. It also knows, even as the ongoing situation changes, *every possible outcome of the entire game*. It is, therefore, omniscient *AND* has complete foreknowledge (in this simplified case, regarding solely a game of chess).
But does the computer know either (a) exactly *WHICH* piece - out of all the possibilities - each person will move next, or (b) precisely *WHICH* of the virtually infinite number of outcomes of the game will, in fact, come to pass?
No. It does not. It *cannot* know these things, because (for finite beings such as humans, which exist - unlike the infinite Higher Power - within the confines of Time) they lie in the future - a concept which has meaning *ONLY* for finite beings or entities - and the future *does not exist*: what we call "the future" constantly changes according to the events of the present (which, in itself, is an illusion which *also* does not truly exist, since at all times we *actually* experience events not *as they occur*, but *AFTER* their occurrence, slightly in the past. *THAT*, however, is a discussion for another time!).
Therefore, the computer knows *everything* that each player *can or might* do, but not exactly which of these possibilities they *will* choose. It also knows *every possible way* in which the game of chess *could or might* finish, but not how the game *actually WILL finish*.
Now: substitute "Higher Power" for "computer", "life in general" for "a game of chess", and "any/all possible actions of human beings" for "any/all possible moves in a chess game".
What do you have? Yes, both a Higher Power which has infinite knowledge (*including* foreknowledge) - that is, omniscience - regarding all possible human actions and futures, *AND* human beings who, simultaneously, possess the necessary Free Will to choose *which* of the infinite possible actions they will take, and, consequently, *which* of the possible futures will result (since, as stated above, "the future", as we understand it, changes constantly according to ongoing actions/events, and is thus created by such and wholly dependent thereon).
Of course, there is no place in the above for any "Divine plan" - but, as I have said, *why* should such a plan exist...? Who can, after all, know the intentions of the Higher Power - even assuming that it has any such "intentions" - or, if you like: who can read the mind of God?
One can even substitute "random Cosmic events" for "chess moves", and then see that, while the Higher Power may (I would say certainly *DOES*) know all *possible* events within (and futures for) the Universe itself, it does *NOT* necessarily follow that the Higher Power knows specifically *WHICH* events or future(s) will actually occur - meaning, of course, that even the Higher Power does not *specifically dictate* the ultimate fate of the Universe or the events along that path.
See? Not so hard, is it, if one removes the (false) "Divine plan" idea... and it doesn't even require anyone to explode... ;)

Im lucky i turned agnostic at 10 when i started to frequent a good school that had more detaled information about evolution the solar system and it's origins the big bang from what the body is made etc and now that I discovered this channel I started to have even more arguments agaist christians to prove that they are wrong

Talk about rose tinted spectacles!
They conveniently ignore those bad bits due to their indoctrination. It's sad really

It just occurred to me that believing that the bible is a work of non-fiction, is like reading J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Silmarillion and thinking it Tolkien was a prophet who wrote the real origin story of the universe. It's quite stupid.
I'd rather follow The Silmarillion than that trashy and boring dust collector about idiots in the desert.

@@fuzzybuzzy3159 Same here. I would be more than happy to worship the Valar and Illuvatar.
At least the writers of the Bible believed it
DarkMatter2525 The first time I watched a video of yours I hurried up and shut it off. I thought for sure god was going to punish me, (no joke).
It would take a couple of years and hundreds of hours on TH-cam watching you and others that made me finally read the entire bible, after 20 years as a Christian.
I'm now an atheist and ironically I just finished a video series on slavery that will be going up on my personal Facebook page. It's very uncomfortable to do but needs to be done.
Thanks you so much for your work. ;)
Takes courage to challenge your own beliefs. Also takes to admit reluctance and even past ignorance too.
Thankfully I didn't have to wrestle with such a challenge as I was never inducted to any religion or group. Good for you bro.

Ya thanks,
I went a little crazy for a while but I'm getting better. Videos are my therapy. Watching others or doing research for making my own help me learn more and get past the bullshit.

The animated movie, Prince of Egypt, really sugarcoated this story. Glad I could watch this video now that I'm older and really see it for what it really is.

Honestly the Prince of Egypt did a better job telling the story than the actual story.
Though maybe that's me being biased because that's my favorite animated DreamWorks movie.
@@angelsartandgaming that makes me think, I actually like the story when it's sugarcoated and used as an universal anti-slavery myth. Kind of like how modern depictions of greek mythology don't tell the horrible things it has yet are enjoyable
It’s a good movie.

This, to me, is the most incomprehensible verse in the whole Bible, and yet most people just blip right over it without a second thought: Moses met with Pharaoh? How on God's green earth did he manage that? Pharaoh was the human incarnation of the sun god. A dirty, hairy, smelly shepherd comes bumbling in out of the desert and requests an audience? They'd put him in chains, drag him to the Nile, and feed him to the crocodiles.
He was adopted into Pharaoh's family as a baby, found out he was an Israelite, saw a dude beating and Israelite, killed the dude, and ran away. So they probably wanted him back. Plus, Moses had Aaron talk to him because he complained about a speech impediment to God.
+Jacob Martin (1) "...killed the dude, and ran away." Moses had been away for so long, everyone forgot about him. (2) "...he complained about a speech impediment." He had been away for so long, he forgot how to speak Egyptian.
Moses was his stepbrother!
+Edward Wood I'm guessing they blip over it without a first thought at that.
Edward Wood 1- They didn't completely forget him, and if someone has a demand or else their God would avenge them, I think that could get the Pharaoh's attention. Plus, He could have fun arguing with who was basically a nobody. Plus, if the God of bible really was there, i think he could make a way pretty easily.
2- even if that's the case, which is isn't, since he had lived there his whole childhood to adulthood, then there's another reason to have Aaron.
I'm egyptian and I find it hilarious when Egyptian copts and muslims stand with moses while hearing these stories and being excited that the Egyptian king drowned in the story

Another Star Wars reference, albeit a very subtle one.
"They're not _dolls_, they're _action figures_!"
Don't know about you guys, but to me, that pretty much sums up the god of Abraham right there.
It's a joke from Risen 2, if I reckon correctly :).
TrickyTrickyFox That whole scene is also a reference (slightly) to Space Balls the Movie.
TrickyTrickyFox It was actually born somewhere around the 50s, if I'm not misinformed, with the rise of post WW2 comic books and the connected rise of action figurines. Up to that point there had only been dolls, marketed towards girls. The term action figure was then invented to make a fake distinction between two qualitatively identical toys to market them to boys. Many parents saw right through that bullshit though, and so when they said "No boy of mine is gonna be playing with dolls!" in all their patriarchal glory the boy would defend with "They're not dolls, they're action figures!"
SuperDropsX nice to know, thanks ^_^.
The story of the Exodus was one of the most horrifying things that I have ever read, since god performed horrifying atrocities (plagues) against the Egyptians which would land his supernatural ass in a war crimes tribunal. Sending a hit man to cut down innocent children to troll the pharaoh proved that god is psychotic.
That is one reason why I know god and jesus are satan themselves.
Agreed. Have you read Judges or Numbers? They're even more brutal. If I learned anything from those books, it's that god is a hypocritical murderous tyrant. I stopped believing in god after I finished reading the bible.
ssnoogans89 Good for you, because god is a hypocrite, sexist, rapist, lieing, stealing, and Genocidal Murdering character.... I have high hopes for you, because the bible is rather addicting and I still am having withdrawls from being away from religion. I am just so pissed off that I have been worshipping a fake deal, and it all seemed perfect, but FUCK NO....
charles Receski god did biological warfare?
I don't know... I think I've read worse....the judges decision in Roe vs Wade. An innocent baby gets cut out of the comfort of her mother's womb by a crazy woman and doesn't get justice because she is not considered a person unless it could be proved (which of course it couldn't) she took a breath outside of her mother's womb. Millions of babies are murdered in a much worse way each year. But atheists are more concerned about a bakery that will not make a wedding cake for a same sex couple because the owner of the bakery feels that it violates her principles. So atheist are more concerned with shutting her down than defending the life of an innocent baby.
At least from Exodus we know that God actions were in condescension to people of a barbaric mindset. But clearly we should be more civilized to today than to have to resort to the institutionalized murder of innocent babies because atheists don't consider the unborn as a person worth protecting. We know from the bible that God took no pleasure on enacting justice against wicked nations. But atheist seem pleased over their control on abortion.

brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down." you will lose almost everything important to you. please, for your sakes, repent and turn to Jesus. He is, in the words of Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also better than lust.
love > lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you.
Ayo I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested (read on)
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He was still come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
also, we have various types of evidence that backs up tthe Bible. Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day. The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff
The Holy Spirit exists. I was a slave to s3xual sin for 7-ish d@mn years. Finally at 16, God freed me. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:
Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command
Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son)
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified.
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers (See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback)

Why is all the so called miracles of god so unimpressive? Can’t god know who to kill and who not to kill without lambs blood painted on door posts? Can’t god just teleport the Israelites across the Red Sea without making them walk through it? Couldn’t god just make the Egyptians chariots and weapons disappear? All the so called miracles doesn’t seem powerful enough to be from real creator of the universe. It seems like technological tricks done by beings with high tech.

I have a question for Christians. God has clearly violated people's free will multiple times in the Bible, so why doesn't he violate the free will of every well off person and make everyone collaborate together to help the poor? We would have no more poverty, and crime would be almost completely eradicated.
+
Care to point out an instance where God violated someone's free will to choose evil.
r36125yt Have you not watched the video? Pharoah wanted to let the people go (after seeing that God meant business), but God hardened his heart so he would not. So yes, God made Pharoah continue to do evil. It doesn't matter if he previously wanted to do evil, or that he would've continued if God did not send the plagues. He wanted to stop, and God wouldn't let him. Reason for wanting to stop is irrelevant, God forced Pharoah to continue with the "evil" choice.
Overlord Valvatorez No Pharaoh did not want to let them go. He was defeated and had no choice in the matter and was angry about it. He wasn't moved at all by discovering the true God. Atheists say they would become believers if God would reveal Himself but it is not enough to believe. There must also be a change of heart. Pharaoh received proof yet his heart unchanged. Unlike us, God can see into a man's future and decided to pass judgement on Pharaoh then and there for the benefit of future generations. The point is that it is not enough to just believe in God. Even the devil believes in God. Moses, through God, parted the Red Sea, yet the Israelites still ended up turning against God in the end. If people want proof of God before choosing a moral life, their future is grim. With God, goodness must be chosen for the sake of goodness and then God reveals Himself. You won't learn the truth about the bible from a hostile video.
Overlord Valvatorez Something else you won't learn from these videos. God "hardens ones heart" by permission. For example the devil could only do what he did to Job through permission from God. With Pharaoh God did the same. The devil could not convince Job to commit evil because Job was good. It worked the same with Pharaoh. But the devil was able to influence Pharaoh through his own free will and Pharaoh's inclination towards evil.
It is sad that many people still think the Bible is the cornerstone of all morality.
More like cornerstone of a coffin...

“When knives and foreskins start flying around, it’s a pretty good sign that things have gone too far.” My life motto
I remember the whole infanticide thing freaking the hell out of me back when I was a kid
You know that actually reminds me of being told about King Herod ordering a ton of babies killed during an RE lesson at my Christian primary school. I think I was in year 5, meaning I would’ve been only 9 or 10 years old at the time. Looking back, I was probably too young to be hearing about that considering how it freaked me out at the time.
"Oh Jesus Christ" "God dammit" xD
Great work. The absurdity is so obvious for all to see when presented so brilliantly.
DarkMatter2525 I like how in this video God basically privately admits to being evil, but intentionally fooling people into thinking he's good. Of course, in the real world it's not the gods who fool people into thinking they're good. It's humans who convince each other of the goodness and for that matter existence of the particular gods they've either been fooled into believing in, or found ways to profit from other people believing in.
***** With that segway, here's a little story I just made up using DarkMatter2525's Jeffrey character, and of course, Yahweh/God. (Feel free to share it.)
Picture this... Some theist who's pissed off at God has been challenging God to strike him dead for hours, and people are taking notice.
If an atheist did it, they would just say God doesn't perform miracles for disbelievers, but here's a theist yelling stuff like "I miss my wife and I know you sent her to Hell for being an atheist. Send me too you son of... yourself!"
As he's walking down the street ranting, a church lets out and people who know him start pleading with him, saying they understand, his wife was a good person, and begging God to grant his request.
Farther down the street, they pass by an atheist gathering of some type. The atheists join in, but even start mocking God saying "You can't do it, huh?" and stuff like that. Telling God to go ahead and send the poor guy to Hell and them with him. The man yells out "Come on God, just squash me with your little finger and send me to be with my wife."
Just then, out of the sky comes this HUGE hand, and its little finger comes right down on the guy, making a puff of fire and smoke as it touches him, and he's gone.
All of a sudden the atheists are saying they've changed their mind and don't want to go with... saying stuff like "God, that was pretty bad. Hey, could you like talk to us now that you're out of hiding?"
Now we back away from this scene to see that it is taking place in an image on a cloud-shaped thought bubble, over a sleeping Yahweh.
Jeffrey comes in and wakes up God, telling him there's a theist down on Earth who's been begging to be sent to hell for so long that he's got a crowd of both atheists and theists yelling along with him, while the God they're yelling at isn't responding because he's asleep.
Yahwah smugly tells Jeffrey "Relax. I took care to the little trouble maker.".
Jeffrey replies: Yeah... In your dreams!
Donald Kronos i actually find both theists and atheists closed minded in your comment. How can anyone be sure they know what happens? the bible doesn't tell us that, so how can we know? Science also can't explain what happens to you after you die besides what happens to your body. I find it arrogant for people to assume they know what will happen.
***** that is very closed minded of you. You say you are an atheist, yet you claim you know what theist believes in. If you are not affiliated with them, then how can you make assumptions like the one you just made?
***** because not all Christians believe everything the bible tells them and not all theists are Christians. and no that is not a fact, that is your opinion.
Jeffery for God and President 2016
Computed Technology fuck to late, 2020
Hey, maybe the reason Donald Trump is so absurd, arbitrary, and narcissistic is because God is playing with a Trump doll.
Did you make that comment all on your own? Original
@Stevo Devo hell yeah I completely forgot about this
So, hmm, apparently, some grammatical differences between the NIV and KJV Bibles make this story pretty different. In the KJV, God doesn't try to kill Moses; he, having foreknowledge that he will kill the firstborn, goes to immediately kill the Pharaoh's kid. While that's happening, Moses is forcibly holding down their son while his wife circumcises him, so God won't kill the kid. I found an article explaining this at length, as if it's still a great thing, when really, it's a horrifying thing.
Yahweh: "Jeffery, I'm not God."
.
Jeffery: "Uh, yeah you are."
.
Yahweh: "Oh yeah, cool."
This shit is hilarious. Really puts into perspective how ridiculous the bible is, by translating from vague English to current slang. Good job.
Tell me in what way you think the holy bible is ridiculous?? I am curious .
@@sussiea9221 the whole thing is basically "god is omni benevolent, loving, present, yet he spends the entire book doing the exact opposite of all those things for arbitrary reasons. As the video suggests, take some time to think through the implications of what god does and you'll see.
who else wants to watch Jeffery kick gods arse?
I do! I do!
they have to do that it would be good if Jeffry said"god I'm sick of this bullshit I'm taking the throne " and then Jeffrey beats the shit out of god, ha!!! can you imagine!?
Watch the end of the "Book of Job" video.

Thank you for bringing up the "harden the Pharaoh's heart" part of this story. No one EVER mentions it...probably because it is a key piece of information on the long trail to realizing that the God character is a basically what everyone claims the devil is...a self worshiping trickster.

Ikr, he’s the logical shit storm.
Thank you for this video. My gosh, this is incredible.
Jeffrey: *smack* "No! Bad God! Don't TOUCH IT!"
Me: *dying with laughter*
So you like simple animation huh? Then I suggest you watch this one called "The Egg" for a different perspective on things: th-cam.com/video/h6fcK_fRYaI/w-d-xo.html
That doesn’t have anything to do with this. This isn't a hypothetical work of fiction (although it’s based on one called the Bible) . I watched and really loved the Egg but this is what your God is really like not the one in that animation.
I got into a debate with a Jehovah witness about this I said that God "hardened Pharaoh's heart" and he claimed that it was Pharaoh that "hardened his own heart". He asked where in the Bible it states that God hardened Pharaoh's heart and that it must be the wrong translation. So, I went to Biblehub (I am always on there when I watch these videos, because sometimes I just can't believe it actually says the things it says and I want to see what the actual words are) and gave him a dozen examples from different translations including his own New World Translation.
Mmmh, how did he respond? I'm curious...
I have read up on some of the explanations for why God didn't actually take his free will away. Not sure how to feel.
_TheActionKid _ what, are they terrible?
I love the references!
"Jesus Christ! You scared me!" :D
2 seconds later: God Damnit!
I remember reading this in Catholic school and even though I wasn't strictly religious or not, I was disgusted... I told my teacher that God clearly wasn't good if he murdered innocent children who could've done good with their lives and had no control over their circumstances, pretty sure that was the start of me not being religious any more. Even now, it shocks me how horrific this is. I can't believe people worship a monster like that. Christians say 'it's all about the new testament' but I don't see how you can just disregard a whole text that is meant to be part of your religion. Still, I'd appreciate some videos on the New Testament (I know the stories in there are way more boring, but I'm sure there's some good material :) )
You gotta feel bad for the Jews, all they have is the Old Testament.
I was brought up as a christian and was a christian for a long time but as I grew older I started to see the discrepancies within the bible and disagreed with a lot of things in it like god flooding the entire earth for example. Right now I am indifferent I don't fully agree that there is a god nor do I disagree that there is not one.
Bullitt Same for me. I'm not opposed to spirituality but I think that religion can be very dangerous. And no religion is without nonsense so I doubt any are true.
Caleigh agreed
You act like God cant bring those kids back
I cannot help to wonder how I would have viewed these videos about 37 years ago when I was still a believer in the Bible. Would I have seen the irony or would have been disgusted and put forward circular arguments for God? I wonder.
You are by far my favorite atheist channel. Entertaining, thought provoking, and the damn video always ends way too soon! Thank you.
I didn't know that Moses was a descendant of Christopher Walken. Cool.
I love DarkMatter2525...another great video!
I never paid much attention to these videos, I've never even watched them, but holy shit I love it so much. It blends intelligence, humor, and information perfectly. Plus it has me laughing almost every minute. Definitely subscribing.
I'm almost ashamed that it took me so long to discover your channel. Love it. Can't get enough!!!
DarkMatter2525, you did a bunch of work and I congratulate you n a job well done. I grew up in church and have done two years of seminary (useful but not relevant to my life for the purpose I originally went) and this is a very good simplification of the plot of the Exodus.
I've never seen anyone rip apart the book of Exodus this perfectly. Well done.
Lol! God is omni-hypocritical. I love it! That's the perfect term for it too. :D
This is such a great video!
Exactly! XD
I liked the SpaceBalls The Movie reference with the dolls. And the dog ear scratch preventer cone on god cracked me up. Thank you.
"Omni-hypocritical!" Absolutely worth The Whole Video! Great work, DM!
"It's much easier to be told what to think than to actually think for yourself. That's the whole beauty of religion, Jeffery"
Love it.
"B-b-b-but that's how you designed the schmecke!"
L.M.A.O.
Me watching these videos as a Christian: Confused and angry
Me watching these videos years later as an atheist: 🤣 so true
God likes Playsation, in your face Xbox users :P
raveeno2005 I really don't mean to start a console war, or a PC master race debate, but that's more of a PC than anything. I don't see where you get Playstation from, since that's Dark Souls II, available on PC, Xbox 360 and One, and PS3/4. The controller doesn't give anything away, and doesn't really restrict it to consoles either, since many PC gamers have a controller hooked up to their rig. But, the display looks like a monitor, sitting on a desk, and he is sitting right in front of the desk, as you would a PC, whereas, more likely than not, consoles are in the living room hooked up to a TV, and the player plays from the couch.
***** Your point? that is completely irrelevant to what I said. My point was, given the clues of the context with no explicit display of the machine, the machine is more likely to be a PC. And I know that there may be some people will hook up their console to a monitor and play that way, but more likely than not that will be a PC hooked up to the monitor.
***** dude that's dark souls 1
Death Pork ah you're right. I thought firelink shrine was mid earthen peak for some reason. Either way though, they're both available on all 3 platforms previously mentioned so it doesn't matter.
chill out guys, it was just a joke!
Missed opportunity to have death say "It will be done my Lord"🤣
"When knives and foreskins start flying around it's a pretty good sign that things have gotten way out of hand"
"When knives and foreskins start flying around, it is a pretty good sign that things have gotten way out of hand."
The finest animation so far. Great job.
He says, "I'm Goooooddd" every time lol
I've grown to love that bit!
10:33 You went full Sidious. Never go full Sidious.
yeah this one was full of star wars jokes like god humming the imperial theme song
No it was amazing, i love it
And Princess Leia in the skimpy bikini - lol
INTernal Jordan that was the point... the entire last part was a star wars parady, obviously god is Darth Sidius!
The pronunciation of power should be from starwars by samuel jackson
"Jesus Christ" "GOD DAMMET"
HUAHAUAHAHAHAHAHA
This is such blasphemy! God would never play Playstation as long as Xbox is available xD
But, you guysuh! If you don't play Playstation you will go to Hell forever! For the Japanese so loved the world that they gave us PS1, PS2 and PS3 and now PS4 not to condemn the world but that the world through them might play. Those who reject must burn, at least I hope they do.
God HE HAS SPOKEN
Levi Everts Because the Xbox has always been better, and PC still beats both if you can afford a decent PC.
Basta recker atleast you dont have to pay to play online on ps3 and its all nonsense about the graphic being better on xbox. I've played the same game on ps3 and xbox360 and i hardly notice any difference.
brawler yukon The graphics and the framrate is better.
(13:05): "NO! Bad God! Don't touch it!"
Go Jeffery! My favorite part of this delightful video.
Jodi Zee Agreed. And god's one helluva jerk.
I really enjoy your toons. I was a devout christian for ten years and studied the bible daily, went to church and watched televangelist. I constantly denied myself and lied to myself to over look how much of a piece of shit god is. I enslaved myself to the concept of god and became a lovingly judgmental liar. I've been free now for ten years. After my apostasy I am able to be myself with out feeling guilt. I am better now than I was and I'm never going back.
Always glad to hear about new free thinkers, welcome brother. Science and reason be with you haha
Thank you
With more and more people becoming free thinkers I can assure you that the next generations to come will be great.
I agree, we need to get god and corrupt government out of the picture.
0:56 sums up alot. Wont stop it because its wrong, he'll stop it OR JUST WONT DO ANYTHING because he has a vow... Cant believe gods so loving that he puts his word above his "children"
Well done, DarkMatter, well done.
Yup. God hardens the Pharaoh's heart in order to perform miracles and wonders so that all may know he is the Lord... it's God's PR campaign!
*Priest watches this video and all of DarkMatter's videos*
It was at this moment... that he knew... he fucked up.
8:00 Star Wars episode 6: Return of the Jewdi
They cut off the youngling's foreskin!
use the Fore, luke....
Spaceballs.
This is easily my favourite of all your videos. It's clever, thought-provoking, contains interesting insight's into the character of the God of the Bible, and it highlights the double standards and hypocrisy of God perfectly.
And it was fucking hilarious. I loved the Space Balls and Star Wars pop culture references, I loved the slastick humour "jesus christ you scared me!", and I giggled myself silly at the burning bush scene.
God plays Dark Souls!? That explains so much!
I'm loving this not only because its thought -provoking and so well thought-out - but it's a hoot - well done
Every time a rabbi is asked about these, um, "controversial" passages in the Torah, their response is always "you can't take them out of context. You have to read the Whole Thing. Only Then can you understand the true meaning of the Torah!" And if you read the entire ponderous tome and you still come to the conclusion that this is a contradictory, capricious, bloodthirsty psychopath who is obsessed with blind worship, they'll say "you obviously missed the point". Then they use convoluted mental gymnastics to explain why all of these evil things are actually good and holy, if you "just understand the intention". Which is exactly what every priest and imam does with the New Testament and the Quran.
I find it HILARIOUS how many "christians" watch these vids and try to bash them, when all that's being presented is exactly what's in the bible. It's amazing how religious people can bash someone like the author who is showing them what that sickening book contains, but they won't bash the bible itself..
The bible most of them never bothered to read of course....
And if they did bother to read it and they still think this shit is ok - then they are just as psychopathic as the lord.
Judging by the amount of so called believers that come back and watch these vids over and over again, maybe the message is getting across and is starting to break down some religious programming.
ITS JUST A BOOK EVERYONE> You don't have to give up your whole life to this insanity just because someone convinced you to do so when you were a child. You are adults now, start to use the brain that the creator (whatever he/she/it is) gave you.
Way to go Darkmatter2525! :)
So you think all along no one ever noticed these stories until videos were made about them. I'm pretty sure if videos kicking Islam, Buddhism, or Hinduism were made they'd be standing up for their beliefs too. Atleast be honest with yourself and admit their is bias within how these characters act. You maybe think that the style in which the stories are told are may be inhibiting understanding of Gods nature?
ChiquitaSpeaks
So you mean to tell me that you already know all this stuff about your "god" and you still wanna worship him?
because youre trying to lead folk to hell and were blessed to fight the
good fight ! and weve already won!
you say that all that is being presented is in the Bible. but he isn't presenting ALL thats in the Bible. hes taking parts out of contexts so you can twist them with your mind. wonder why he didnt mention that ALL God required if you didnt want your first born son to die was to offer a symbolic sacrifice to him.. all small and common and fairly easy task back in those days. if darkmatter is so unbiased why would he leave out that small detail? seems kinda important doesnt it?? Dont be fooled by what seems to balanced information.. about as balanced as Fox news. Satanic Masons use the same techniques of twisting the words of the Bible to confuse the unsuspecting. I read the Bible for my self so these foolish tricks will never work on me
muaythaiguy6669 how do you reconcile the laws of the new testament with the stories of the old testament?
Well, at the part about Exodus 11:4-5, the Bible translations looks like they are trying to conceal the fact that OTHER SLAVES suffered. For instance, in my mother language, the words "slave girl" is translated to "female maid servant" or "maid servant" similar to KJV. Only in a few translations, like NIV, or The Message that it was tranlated as "slave girl". It sends chills down my spine and my heartache at reading it, though I know that historically the Ten Plagues and The Exodus probably did not happen.
Guys what is it like to have a foreskin? Mine was stolen.
Its great, you can store raisins under it, and they stay nice and warm.
It's like having a natural turtleneck
Alon Asaf well circumcising is only done so men have harder time masturbating and having sex so with a foreskin it’s easier (and more pleasurable) to do these things
Alon Asaf It's harder to aim when you pee.
so could i last longer in sex if i had no foreskin?
where can i sign up to become a jew?
Watching this video I just realized... Jeffery is the name you would have given your baby boy... and it hit me right in the feels man...
Waqas Rabbani i'm sorry
When you think of it, god playing dark souls is rather unfair, since he owns every soul from the beginning on...
Evidently not, when more souls are in Hell then Heaven, and God supposedly abandons that place altogether... Fur alle Zeit und ewigkeit, nicht Eine schlafen im Satan's Reich...
Jeremy Harden Your german is pretty good ;), but only IF He really abondons that place and then still the souls would technically belong to him, but he just doesn't claim them, right?
nope, he disowned them a used condom :P
Its really confusing me, because I am like getting attacked by demons for not believing in christainity anymore. I am not joking either, and it just proves that evil is in the good system of religion. Even though I am kinda scared to sleep anymore, therefore I am not going to bow down to a fucking fairy tale story of god, jesus, and the rest of the bull crap in the bible.
Colten Doyle it’s all in your childish head
Double agent puppet master things...a show of force
Darkmatter2525 should also find something curious about the verse Exodus 11:4-6, where for a long time it is deliberatedly translated to "servant girl" or "maid servant" to conceal the fact that even slaves suffered. It it curious that it was slave girl's firstborn being referred to ? That slave girl could well have been either a widow, or a rape victim!!! I mean this Yahweh is the worst asshole in any literature!!
***** The Bible most of us read in the English word, as well as in Chinese, has translated the word "slave girl" to "maid servant", thereby misleading people to believe that ONLY ISRAELITES in Egypt were slaves, and there were no other slaves. This view was furthered popularized by movies like The Ten Commandments, and the Prince of Egypt, and also by churches' teachings in Sunday schools. Have it not been for emergence of updated translations like NIV, NRSV, The Message, The Living Bible, NASB etc.that this crucial detail is revealed - YahWeh slaughtered even the firstborn sons of female slaves......
So as long as your translation of the bible seems right by your perspective, then it justifies the wrong?
jordan richard I am unsure what you try to drive at ?
what i'm saying is, that whenever i take a verse that is immoral from the bible, people always say that that translation is incorrect. so my question is that how would you know with translation is right or not.
*****''Gasp'' I never thought of that before! You have right! God favourites Israelites over everyone else. NO matter what.
The Star Wars references were beautiful. Well done.
