The main problem with Pascal's Wager is that it isn't even an argument for god's existence, but an argument for believing in god's existence, which are not the same thing
The most common version of the Argument from Morality has the same problem - "If people don't believe in God, they won't be moral" is an argument for why people should ACT like God exists, not an argument that he actually exists. Honestly, the Argument from Personal Experience, while not a great argument, is the only one here that deserves the slightest credence, because it is the only one that attempts to present EVIDENCE rather than playing word games or ignoring the question entirely.
Exactly and even if you were to follow it you're not making a Christian God happy who wants you to actually worship him and all this stuff Beyond just literally believing he exists which is crazy
I appreciate your engagement with Pascal's Wager. While it is true that Pascal's Wager does not directly argue for the existence of God, it does present a pragmatic approach to belief in God. Pascal's Wager proposes that even if the existence of God cannot be established with certainty through rational arguments, it is still rational to believe in God because the potential benefits of belief outweigh the potential costs. According to Pascal, belief in God is a safer bet than unbelief. The wager suggests that if God does exist, then believers will gain eternal bliss, while non-believers will suffer eternal loss. Conversely, if God does not exist, believers will only have a finite loss in terms of pleasures and comforts in this life, while non-believers will have no eternal gain. Therefore, Pascal argues that the rational choice is to believe in God, as it maximizes the potential for eternal happiness. While Pascal's Wager may not provide evidence for the existence of God, it presents a rational framework for considering belief in God as a prudent choice. It grapples with the potential consequences of one's beliefs and suggests that the potential benefits of belief make it reasonable to choose faith in God. However, I encourage further examination and evaluation of other arguments for the existence of God, such as the cosmological argument or the teleological argument, as they offer additional support for belief in a higher power.
I am Christian and yes that is completely wrong. Matter of fact Paul even wrote that we are most miserable of all people if it is not true. And guess what I never liked gambling in my life
@@seanwaddell2659 God’s that are worshipped are endured test of time. And for Anubis he may exist however He is not Creator because he is long gone for us and rearly anyone knows anything about him
What an easy question. Propaganda, forceful christianisation, proselytisation, power plays, keeping people ignorant, cultism, attacking other beliefs, etc.. etc Also, Christianity is NOT popular. It's actually just metastasized, like cancer.
What's ironic about Pascal's Wager is that if anyone chooses to believe in god solely bc they would suffer less... I don't think god would be pleased and allow them into heaven
Along the same token, if the only reason you know it's wrong to murder people is because your religion tells you so, you have a dangerously low amount of basic human empathy. i meann god damn (literally).

Personal experience is definitely a hard one to refute. I was arguing my atheism with my father when he stated that he wouldn’t be able to handle it if he had to believe his father was not living in heaven.

@@davidcalado744 This is the problem have with atheist vs theist debates. You can't pick what parts of the argument you want to respond too. If you blisfully ignore it you have conceded, and it would be foolish to continue in your positon.
Archon of Games While „it is be true because it says it is“ is circular reasoning, „It may be true because some guy wrote it down as though it were a few thousand years ago“ is just called „working with historical sources“. A lot of effort goes into figuring out what is and is not belivable (loads of propaganda or just fantasy epics that were never meant to be taken as fact etc.), by cross-referencing the text with other evidence. finding out about the author and on and on. A single text says there was a battle here 2000 years ago and we actually found a 2000 year old weapon or two in that area? That‘s usually enough to make it into history books. Two sources of opposing political sides share a story that‘s more or less comparable? Something like that most likely happened. Two sources share a story thats almost identical? Probably never happened. Just because some texts were collected in a book and some weren‘t you can‘t discount their possible value as historical sources. As far as I know the jury is still out on the believability of the gospels in scientific circles (correct me if I‘m wrong, my knowledge may not be up to date). As far as I know they actually compare favourably to other sources we consider factual. If they were telling a story that was easy to believe, the gospels might probably be taught as history by now. But, as you know, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and with a claim like that I‘m honestly not sure if any historical source could ever suffice.
That one falls in the category of personal experience, I would say. But that's actually more reliable because its accounts of several people instead of just one. Btw you do mean "bible proves God exists" right? I don't think I've met someone claiming what you said.
Felsbrocken I agree there would be fewer believers, but only because of the actual content of it. I challenge the fact that the bible contradicts itself at all let alone constantly. I hear people say that constantly with little proof. I have seen videos like those made by Non-stamp-collector, but if you look at the bible as a collection of documents by limited individuals rather than some sort of continuous narrative, most of those "contradictions" disappear
I've always hated Pascal's Wager too, but for a different reason. Coming from a person who believes in God, I feel that if you only believe in God for the fear of what happens if you don't then it is ingenuine. I've always felt that many religious people make it way too black and white (as you stated) and simply saying you believe in God doesn't do anything.
I don't think this display of Pascal's Wager is accurate. It is meant for someone who is on the fence about faith or no faith. All else being the same, it would be better to practice faith than to not. Giving Pascal's Wager to anyone who has no intention to convert is worse than non-effective.
@@jemand7488 I disagree. Sure, it does offer some sense of security, but that is not the main reason why most (at least I) believe in God. I wouldn't call myself the most religious person, but God, or some form of it, seems like the most natural conclusion. And don't take this as me trying to push religion or anything, just stating that fear is not my reason for believing.
@@zanzull Yeah, I agree to a point. There is no way we could actually conceptualize Heaven and Hell or what it contains. So maybe there would be varying degrees of damnation or whatever. Maybe not. And many religions/denominations explore this such as Purgatory in Catholicism being a place for those who are good people but lack faith.
Pascal's wager isn't even an argument for god's existence - it adds nothing to the question of whether or not god exists. It is merely an argument for why we should believe in god.
The religions that are easiest to follow and that give the harshest punishments for disobedience always seem to become the most popular. It entertains my own personal theory that goes this way: If an authority figure creates an edict that is easy to follow promising infinite reward, and inversely, if ignored, enforcing infinite suffering then it will be widely agreed upon. I find that the proof of this is seen in what religions still float around today. While many religions explain the origin of earth and all on it, the ones that stick around are the ones that promise reward and horrible punishment.
@@typicool9083EXACTLY. And the resson *most* people blindly follow religion is because their parents or someone else told them that when they were a child.

As a theist, I really like your honest analysis and respectful attitude when describing these arguments. I actually don't use any of those arguments since I think the existence or absence of God is not something "to know" or deduce logically.Since the universe is so big compared with our knowledge, and our science is still limited, then there is neither a way to prove or disprove God's existence.Even our human brains and logic are limited so we have no way to know yet if God exists or not.We can only choose to believe or not, and any of these choices are ok since we still don't know logically/scientifically.I choose to believe in a higher power since that gives me more psychological comfort.
As our Universe is part of natural reality and a god is supposed to be supernatural science, limited or not, by definition can't (dis)prove the idea. There are other ways though.
@@simply_oat755 My theistic belief would be that everything that exists is essentially God. Now I don't think there is any refutation for that unless we do not exist. But it is just my belief, which is not shared by a lot of people.

As a Christian, I saw a great counterpoint to Pascal's Wager. Ricky Gervais said "well why don't you put garlic over your door then just in case Dracula exists"
@@SKKaelth according to folklore they all must due to some mythological shit man. It only changed for the new age movies and all that so I say "supposed"
You are not a Christian if you believe "just in case". Jesus said: "These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed..." When I TRULY believed, I received miraculous power to accompany it. In example, I prayed a friend into God's presence and out of a coma when he hung himself in prison. If you haven't seen or experienced radical miracles, then you have not begun to experience the life of saving faith.
I saw someone use the bible as an argument once: "the bible exists, so god is real!" Obviously i was baptised the next day, since this was all the evidence i needed to leave my atheïst ways
Darkmatter actually made a video titled "The greater insult" where his version of god took an islamic girl, a christian guy and an atheist guy, and asked if the other 2 wanted to switch with the atheist. Obviously, they said no, and the atheist was free to go.
The skepticism in the video is so pithy and weak, as you may have already knew different sects in the religious sphere has their own concept of life after death, some do believe in a black or white (heaven or Hell) others believe they will be resurrected into other beings, some believe they will be stripped off conscioussness and become one with the universe, this guy uses big words but i promise you all of his arguments have grave deffects in them , he couldnt even refute the pascal's wager using his 'fallacy technique' nearly every atheist i met have something for this reasoning perspective unbeknownst to them, these systems were a human thought and atheist point of view is conducted by a 'moral relativism' which means that as an atheist you can use these fallacies to support your argument and you would be right and u can reject them and call them stupid, and you would still be right.
@OLGaming dude literally, you're embarassing yourself, the wager is actually not an argument for God's existence 😂😂 have you ever read the oxford handbook of philosophy of religion? No? Literally it states that this is not an argument for God's existence such an argument requires evidence whether it was impirical or conceptual, this argument is to induce the belief in God or rather, make the belief in God a rational thing, don't get mad bro we're trying to have healthy discussions.
I considered myself Christian until senior year of high school, but I had been questioning my beliefs for several years prior. I spent the next 7 years after high school considering myself an atheist, which brought on constant challenges to my beliefs and pleas to "return to God" from my family. 2 years ago, I finally found spiritual peace. That was when I finally acknowledged that I simply don't know. The creation of the universe could've been random occurrence. It could've been created by a god. Hell, we could be the science project of a higher dimensional being in a universe sized petri dish. I'm okay with not knowing. My parents have finally given up trying to convince me of my ignorance, so we're able to have meaningful discussions about life, religion and politics without them looking down on me. When I was atheist, I was convinced that religion was evil, causing so many of the world's problems. I now recognize that evil people will always find ways to justify their actions. Religion isn't inherently evil just because it's been used to justify evil. I'm now able to recognize that many of my atheist views were just as irrational as my Christian views. If there's anything to be learned from this, it's that no matter your ideology, arrogance leads to ignorance.
They can be especially if you encountered the same. This can be mind opening. Some carry really incredible testimonies for which they will even die for in need be
Look around you, that’s proof of god. Everything didn’t come from nothing. there had to be intelligent design. Aristotle discovered the unmoved mover theory 3000 years ago. Look it up, it’s actually interesting philosophy.
you have never seen your brain, does that mean your brain does not exist?? don't tell me you are just convinced by looking at other people's brains, that just proves that they had a brain, doesn't mean you have one too !!!
My religion teacher in high school used something similar. "Can you see atoms?" I just looked at her: "No, but there are machines that can detect them" (and now we can actually see them, sorta) She just gave up right there. I still consider her to be a fantastic religion teacher. She never once graded me badly for being an atheist and I respect that.
We have the technology to detect and observe oxygen and nitrogen molecules that constitute the air. We can't see emotions either (another favourite argument), but we can observe the hormonal and electrical activity across synapses that is responsible for them. This type of argument is dead as a doornail. God fills the gaps created by our own ignorance. Because there will probably never be a time when we understand everything about the Universe, there will always be room for God. And as such, fighting against religion makes no sense. What does make sense is focusing on widespread, honest, unbiased education and development of critical thinking, and giving people the freedom to decide for themselves what - if anything - they want to believe. Religious upbringing is also not a bad thing, as long as the child has access to all the things I mentioned above and is allowed to choose, once they are old enough, what they want to do with their life without fear of ostracism or discrimination. One thing I'm sure of is that stigmatising people one way or the other won't get us anywhere.
I would object to Pascal's Wager being classified as an argument for God's existence. It is an argument for why you should worship a God, not if one actually exists.
One implies the other. Unless you are saying you should worship something that doesn't exist, when the logic behind it is that you worship it on the chance that one does.
And yet bozos including this vids star are Incapable of comprehending that obvious oversight, ironic that some won't recognize the fact that misunderstanding arguments make it impossible to point out said arguments flaws
Worship literally means expressing your belief in a deity and is really a ritual of submission. You can't worship a God that you don't accept as real - or in other words: "God doesn't make deals". It's all or nothing - so the "argument" is that God supersedes all logic and you should believe in him no matter what.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the fine tuning argument is right. It only deals with the creation of the universe and nothing more. Thus, it still has at least three extra aspects about it that many modern day theists would be very reluctant to embrace. 1. The argument doesn't tell you how many gods were involved in the universe's creation; it could be any number. 2. The argument doesn't tell you whether the god or gods that created the universe continued to exist after the creation, or whether it/they exist still. 3. The argument doesn't prove life after death. The theists that I've heard make the fine tuning argument don't only want to win the supernatural creation debate; they want their opponent to automatically make the mental leap of accepting all the tenants of their specific religion.
yeah, the fine tuning argument belongs less so to a specific religion and is more of a deist approach. you can accept it without belonging to any specific religion
If you want to get into classical theistic arguments, cool. 1. The creation of the universe and of its aspects is the truest example of omnipotence, or the ability to do anything that can be done. 2 beings can't both be maximally powerful, because that would be an internal contradiction. Think about it this way: what is infinity minus infinity? An infinite being only makes sense in the singular. That doesn't mean that we don't believe other beings existed before creation, we do (they're called angels, they aren't omnipotent), but the being that is infinite is what we call God. 2. By nature, if a being exists outside of time, needed in order to be the uncaused cause because only a timeless being can be uncaused, it has never and will never cease to exist. If a being creates wood, can it be made of wood? Same thing. A being that creates time can't exist within it. 3. True. We have to trust other forms of revelation God has given us. Hope it makes sense! Have a blessed day!
@V0xct difference between maximally powerful and infinitely powerful. Maximal power is the ability to do anything "that can be done". Infinite power is the ability to do anything. God is maximally powerful. He can't create a stone he cannot lift, nor create a triangle with more than 180 degrees, but those are logically impossible, and maximal power doesn't account for logical impossibility. How do we know God is maximally powerful? If he created space, time, matter, and energy, there's nothing that can be done that he couldn't do.

It's hardly a trait of just "many theists", that tendency has nothing to do with theism. It's a characteristic of humans in general. I keep seeing atheist videos with snarky comments from atheists that go too far too, like I saw a video about some elective course in Oklahoma in public school which proposed to study the bible as literature not as science, and the comments were filled by atheists saying things like "will the course be studying all the myths of every other religion too?" and they all were just agreeing with each other and it never even occurred to them that it might not be totally unacceptable, while my reaction was "what, do we also need to study every love story ever written when we cover Romeo and Juliet? Isn't it commonplace to study the ancient greek myths as literature? And when I was in high school, we also read the Iliad, which is filled with ancient greek stuff, and also Gilgamesh, which is ancient babylonian mythology." And then of course you go to political topics and they are VERY recalcitrant, being atheist unfortunately has a very high correlation with being on the hard left, and that means alignment with things like feminism, and there's no one more thickheaded and unwilling to consider reason than a feminist. It's unfortunately the case that almost everyone believes in stupid stuff for bad reasons, it's just they don't all agree on which stupid stuff to believe in.
Personally I find the idea of a purpose terrifying and find the thought of being insignificant and of no real importance much more comforting because no matter how much I screw up, at the end of the day, nothing really matters, just enjoy what little time you have and stop worrying about what might happen after as that just makes your life even shorter
Uh, blu, what's so bad about a purpose like Jesus saying to you, "I have come that you might life and have it abundantly" No conditions or limitations. Just appreciate life and enjoy it to fullest!

I’m an atheist. The only good argument for believing in god (not necessarily for arguing the existence of god) that I’ve ever heard is that without any practical implications, you might as well believe what makes you happier/what comforts you. The idea of god does that for a lot of people.
Yeah an idea of some higher up power being is nessesary for some people.

At one point alot of people beleived in Odin and those other gods and at another point believed in Zues and those gods. Why if there is one true god why would he allow people for thousands of years to worship false gods then and only thoysands and thousands years later sends down Jesus christ to tell everyone christian god is the real god. None of that makes sense, but people having wild imaginations and making shit up snd passing it down thru generations does make sense until someone else decides om a different view and then start passing that ideology down
The real issue with trying to prove or disprove anything is that we're almost certainly wrong, believe in science or believe in scripture both have obvious flaws. Look back through history, how many times have we been wrong about what we thought were hard facts?

Pascals Wager is effectively illogical. First, you can’t make yourself believe. You can’t force yourself to love someone, to like someone, to believe in someone you previously didn’t regard in this way. You can act it out, but that in itself is deceiving and in a sense acting to deceive - whether for a God or a partner - is despicable behaviour. Second, a God will know your are pretending to believe. They will see through it, obviously, and trying to manipulate or lie to a God is not only pointless but impossible. God, if you recall, doesn’t want acquiescence he wants love. It’s an impossible wager.
Pascal's Wager argument is very mid. It defeats the purpose of having faith. Faith is not merely a fear of hell; it is a deeming attitude towards life. Faith is honest and transparent.
But for the argument in S-tier we might be asking the wrong question. Maybe instead of asking ‘why is the universe like this’ while looking for physical laws to justify this, we should ask ‘why are we humans in a universe with these specific conditions. This of course opens up the possibility for there being a multiverse, but if there is an infinite number of universes out there it is 100% certain that a universe with our characteristics exist, and it is the only universe we could possibly exist in which is why we’re in this one. Great video! Thank you!
In one song in Greydon Square’s music, he samples a Michio Kaku speech where the theoretical physicist talks about multiverse theory. Although I’m pretty sure Kaku is a believer in a deistic type of god, still, I learn a lot every time I listen to it! Good stuff. Ideas matter. Logic matters…I wish there had been more classes in public school that could have taught me that stuff.
If there’s an infinite number of universes than there’s probably an infinite number of exact copies of our universe. Though they may diverge down different paths at any given second.
If there were multiverses that still doesn’t disprove God, but it would disprove the problem of evil since God has created infinite universes and given all free will, the randomness of humans and the devils deception would change how evil our world would be universe to universe.
by asking why are humans in a place with these conditions, are you not seperating humans from their environment? viewing humans as something that was placed in this world as an outsider rather than as something that grew out of the world where these conditons were already taking place is a relgious perspective in itself. And if the question you are asking is these conditions for life were too complex to not have been created by a god then that means that a complex being had to have made them. And if god is that complex being and complex things have to be created then who created god? and so forth...

@@sieni221 I’m not talking about just deities I’m talking about any possible scenario where if you don’t believe in something it will result in a negative consequence (eg: not believing in unicorns will cause aliens to abduct you and then kill you so you better start believing in unicorns to avoid this)

@@jonahj9519 I agree, it's more for people who have a sense that a god does exist, like agnostics or even people of other religions. It's just not complex enough to make an atheist mind rethink their beliefs Edit: Although it is still somewhat effective against agnostics and people of other religions, so I think it should at least be c tier, not every argument is aimed at atheists.
@@shoemakerx0105 Agnostic and atheist are category errors. [as you used here] If you think about it it's not really possible to make any judgement with 100% confidence but even so you still choose to live, feel and think as one of the two options. Even an agnostic who insists that he is agnostic either lives his life praising jesus and praying to god in his thoughts the way christians do or he doesn't do that. If he doesn't do that he's an atheist. He might not be a *confident* atheist but the category spesifically includes all individuals who are definable as "not theist". Similarly a christian who doesn't profess absolute certainty is an agnostic theist but saying that adds nothing since it's nothing special about a christian that doesn't have 100% certainty if he lives life praying to god, thinking that there is someone listening on the other end. The razor thin line in the absolute center doesn't exist cause the human mind doesn't oscillate between two different states that often. The pendulum might swing a few times during a lifetime no more and then settles on a side or the other.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 as a Christian with really confusing views, I completely agree with you. Although I think it's more common for religious people to 100% fully believe there is a divine entity. I personally question the specific nature of God, but it's hard for me to imagine reality without a creator of some sort or another.
@Doom Slayer God has never answered a single person as a result of prayer, otherwise the idea of "working in mysterious ways" wouldn't exist, because his reasoning would be given through his communication with his followers. Just as many people who have claimed to see heaven and hell have claimed to have seen things such as ghosts, aliens, bigfoot, etc. Human experience is fallible, especially when perception is not something that is always guaranteed to be reliable in humans (brain diseases, conditions that induce hallucination, etc.) The devil is mentioned in the bible, but his proof is never found in how people are influenced. To say he is real because the bible says he is real is the same argument as the 'cat in the hat' argument.
@Doom Slayer Bruh you didn't have personal experiences with God. Something just happened to you and because of false dichotomy and confirmation bias you think conveniently it is the work of that particular God you believe in. But you probably won't see the vid nor hear me out so at least do not have children
What on earth is this channel... I love it😂 personally I'm a Christian and the main reason I am willing to believe is that it's logically possible for there to be a God and obviously some people think logically possible for there not to be a God. So now I have a choice and I have decided to go with the God side because I feel there is significant historical evidence even though there is a chance it's all just crazy people or something (sometimes you gotta take risks in life and it's not hurting me because I feel like I'm able to have a relationship with God and it makes me happier even if it's not real lol). And I choose Christianity because thats what makes the most since to me. This is the first video of yours I've seen so I don't want to judge a book by it's cover, but the only thing I usually hear atheists saying is that I can't logically prove God exists, therefore He doesn't exist which is dumb. Thanks for being chill and open about your learnings and good luck on your endeavors 👍
Even if god doesn't exist god still gives a good set of moral values, holds you accountable to love everyone and be the best person you can be without any external force but yourself doing this. Christianity can make someone think or take a new point of view and think of everyone equally instead of being a savage although we do know how many wars religion has caused just like any difference but thank god for opening some people's mind to new ideas instead of feeling disgust which humans naturally do when they see anything different than what they are used to like (skin color, food, appearance, etc). Even if some people don't believe it has helped many.
This is what separates theism and deism. Theists, like you believe in god because of no particular logic. It just makes sense to you. While deist will claim that they believe in god due to logic. I think it's important for people to know this.

I’m an Episcopalian and, while we are Christians that believe in the teachings of Jesus and the Bible, the culture of the church does not lend itself to hardcore evangelism. The nature of our teachings and practices encourage interpretation, questioning, and doubt in our faith and the Bible. For that reason, I’ve always struggled with the idea that MY God is the only correct answer. It’s a classic saying but I think everyone can be a little right even if different beliefs completely contradict each other. All this to say, I really appreciate your refutations to all the stated arguments, I am a strong believer that it’s really healthy to question your own beliefs and evaluate how you truly feel! The whole video I was waiting for the argument in the S tier because that is one of the reasons I believe science and faith can work in tandem, but hearing your refutation was a refreshing perspective ❤️ Thank you so much for your work to be respectful but make people reevaluate their views. I never leave long comments like this, but I just really wanted to express my support even as a theist. Great video!
Uh, viv, I suggest that you reevaluate your position and belief in the bible as a whole cuz you really need to discriminate and isolate those passages that on its face are unbiblical like those contained in Leviticus and Deuteronomy on some misbehavior and some teachings of Jesus that are so unJesusnlike and obviously put in his mouth by writers who want to put fear in their readers or listeners, falslely using the name of Jesus.
Cont....are you then calling yourself an Episcopalian theist or Christian theist which means worshipping God with your own unique forms of ritual and ceremony as a worshipping religious group more out of faith than a certainty about God's existenc
Y'know there's a comedy TV show all about the idea of the afterlife being a combination of religions, with none of them being completely correct, but a little right, it's the called The Good Place, I HIGHLY recommend anyone give it a watch!

Right. Easy refutation: Muck is heaven to a pig. Similar anti-evolution argument: Look at the human body. How intricate and well-functioning it is. It could only be created by a divine Creator. Refutation: Cancer. The Appendix. The small diameter of the cervix relative to the cranial size of babies resulting in (especially before modern medicine) high rates of mother and infant death. Why would a perfect, benevolent Creator build in those features?
Dead Sirius For that you have to know what God wants, because Satan is, I believe, the opposite of God? So Satan would do the opposite that God would want? Then you have to have evidence for what God would want. I am not a part of any religion btw just stating my input.
@@xuerui The problem with Satan is that if all of existence is part of God then Satan and all associated to him are actually part of God. Not to mentions that Satan is an angel and angels were supposed to be manifestations of God's spirit. This would say a lot about the nature of God if it was indeed a fact.
As a Christian, I just heard something very interesting from a preacher on Sunday. He said “You can’t prove God exists, but you also can’t prove that He doesn’t exist. That’s why believing in Him is called faith”. Believe, don’t believe. It’s all a choice that everyone should be allowed to make and others should just accept peacefully. Edit: This doesn’t mean you can’t defend your beliefs! You very much should. This just means you can’t force your beliefs on anyone; people will believe what they want to believe.
Yeah but in the context of a debate or discussion on this topic that is called shifting the burden of proof and it’s a fallacy. Theists make a positive claim and thus have the onus to prove it, it’s not on others to disprove the claim.
@@arcticpangolin3090 a positive claim does not result in responsibility to prove. It is rather that the person that makes a claim that deviates from the most people has to prove his claim.

Even if god exists I find it baffling that they care if I’m wearing a hijab to cover my hair or if someone is having premarital sex or consuming alcohol, all of this is nothing but rules to control humans
Fair enough, but some people do sometimes try to use their personal religious experiences to argue why one should believe in God, or why belief in God is more reasonable than disbelief or lack of belief in God.
Not always. I've often seen it used as the foundation of why you should believe in God. It generally goes, "I like you. I want you to be saved. I know God is real because of experience. Since I know God is real, I know it is in your best interest to believe in God."
Yo, yo, me and Sam, she came over to my house and we _READ THE BIBLE_ like no you don't understand, we totally _READ THE BIBLE_ and then, and then we _READ THE BIBLE_ so hard!
As someone who has read the bible and doesn't believe, when they do that I use the natural charisma of my angry shouting to shut them up long enough to quote the bible as a way to disprove them since many miss the poetry and hyperbole
I think this one would be called "begging the question" in logic. It essentially implies arguing in circles. Ex: God is real because the Bible declares that God is real, and the Bible is true because it is the word of God and well, God is real! The premise of the argument basically declares the conclusion. It amounts to "God is real because God is real".
This book I found in the most shady, brainwashed and most secretive era of my age whereas I posses no information about it's production witholds nothing but the truth
Pascal's Wager has another flaw: assumes that believing is voluntary. Even if I somehow tought that believing in God was better for me, I couldn't just decide to believe.

And tbh, I'm not the type to get hung up over hurt feelings. I prefer to enjoy my life and not give a crap what other people think. Besides, my lack of faith is not intrinsic to my identity, so I don't feel personally attacked like someone of faith feels when their religion is mocked. My lack of faith is merely the conclusion of data to the contrary of faith. I feel absolute indifference to their personal theories on existence. Besides, they genuinely feel sad that I'm "not going to heaven" so it's out of love that they are always trying to change my mind. I'm supposed to feel bad for my own feelings when my feelings aren't even hurt? I feel bad that they feel so terrible about my "soul", when in reality I live life to its fullest and have very few regrets.

@@martytu20 so I guess yeah he determined it or predetermined it, however you wanna call it. But again, it's not because he's ignoring it, he sees all and knows all... It's just he's given every single human being a chance to do what they want and, as far as I know, crimes against other humans are more severe in terms of the punishment received than just simply questioning God's existence, in which case there is a chance that you'll go heaven or paradise or the garden if you were a good person (which I believe a lot of atheists are).

@@JazzyJonas even if this new objection ur presenting works, it doesn't make ur previous misrepresentation of the argument any better. Well, if u see complexity and a seemengly teleological behaivour in the world then it's not so stupid to assume there's an intellect behind it. I think there are better explanations to this complexity but i still think ur wording it to sound extra dumb. There are actually many teleological arguments and some have nothing to do with complexity.
def bool ontological(bool God){ if(God){ return true; } } int main(){ bool God = true; God = ontological(God); printf("The existece of God is %r", God); return 0; }
True, because TIME (death) is ultimately the one with the final say in whether or not God's existence is true or not. It is time that produces changes in the world and in our perceptions that we have about said world, meaning you can only wait to see how things unravel.

The main problem with Pascal's Wager is that it isn't even an argument for god's existence, but an argument for believing in god's existence, which are not the same thing
The most common version of the Argument from Morality has the same problem - "If people don't believe in God, they won't be moral" is an argument for why people should ACT like God exists, not an argument that he actually exists.
Honestly, the Argument from Personal Experience, while not a great argument, is the only one here that deserves the slightest credence, because it is the only one that attempts to present EVIDENCE rather than playing word games or ignoring the question entirely.
hmm, good rationale @@michaelramon2411
Exactly and even if you were to follow it you're not making a Christian God happy who wants you to actually worship him and all this stuff Beyond just literally believing he exists which is crazy
If you boil any argument long enough, you won't find god's existence but the belief in god.
I appreciate your engagement with Pascal's Wager. While it is true that Pascal's Wager does not directly argue for the existence of God, it does present a pragmatic approach to belief in God. Pascal's Wager proposes that even if the existence of God cannot be established with certainty through rational arguments, it is still rational to believe in God because the potential benefits of belief outweigh the potential costs. According to Pascal, belief in God is a safer bet than unbelief. The wager suggests that if God does exist, then believers will gain eternal bliss, while non-believers will suffer eternal loss. Conversely, if God does not exist, believers will only have a finite loss in terms of pleasures and comforts in this life, while non-believers will have no eternal gain. Therefore, Pascal argues that the rational choice is to believe in God, as it maximizes the potential for eternal happiness. While Pascal's Wager may not provide evidence for the existence of God, it presents a rational framework for considering belief in God as a prudent choice. It grapples with the potential consequences of one's beliefs and suggests that the potential benefits of belief make it reasonable to choose faith in God. However, I encourage further examination and evaluation of other arguments for the existence of God, such as the cosmological argument or the teleological argument, as they offer additional support for belief in a higher power.

In my opinion, the weakest argument is “The Bible proves that the Bible is correct!”
Archon of Games While „it is be true because it says it is“ is circular reasoning, „It may be true because some guy wrote it down as though it were a few thousand years ago“ is just called „working with historical sources“. A lot of effort goes into figuring out what is and is not belivable (loads of propaganda or just fantasy epics that were never meant to be taken as fact etc.), by cross-referencing the text with other evidence. finding out about the author and on and on. A single text says there was a battle here 2000 years ago and we actually found a 2000 year old weapon or two in that area? That‘s usually enough to make it into history books. Two sources of opposing political sides share a story that‘s more or less comparable? Something like that most likely happened. Two sources share a story thats almost identical? Probably never happened.
Just because some texts were collected in a book and some weren‘t you can‘t discount their possible value as historical sources. As far as I know the jury is still out on the believability of the gospels in scientific circles (correct me if I‘m wrong, my knowledge may not be up to date). As far as I know they actually compare favourably to other sources we consider factual. If they were telling a story that was easy to believe, the gospels might probably be taught as history by now.
But, as you know, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and with a claim like that I‘m honestly not sure if any historical source could ever suffice.
That one falls in the category of personal experience, I would say. But that's actually more reliable because its accounts of several people instead of just one.
Btw you do mean "bible proves God exists" right? I don't think I've met someone claiming what you said.
Congrats. You just unlocked the No tier class
Its funny, if more people would actually read the bible, there would be less and less believers, as the bible contradicts and denies itself NON STOP.
Felsbrocken I agree there would be fewer believers, but only because of the actual content of it. I challenge the fact that the bible contradicts itself at all let alone constantly. I hear people say that constantly with little proof. I have seen videos like those made by Non-stamp-collector, but if you look at the bible as a collection of documents by limited individuals rather than some sort of continuous narrative, most of those "contradictions" disappear
I've always hated Pascal's Wager too, but for a different reason. Coming from a person who believes in God, I feel that if you only believe in God for the fear of what happens if you don't then it is ingenuine. I've always felt that many religious people make it way too black and white (as you stated) and simply saying you believe in God doesn't do anything.
I don't think this display of Pascal's Wager is accurate. It is meant for someone who is on the fence about faith or no faith. All else being the same, it would be better to practice faith than to not. Giving Pascal's Wager to anyone who has no intention to convert is worse than non-effective.
That argument is the reason people are religious. The fear of what happens after death is the main reason religion was created and still exists
Also eternally burning in hell together with murders, rapists and pedophiles simply for not believing in the correct god seems rather harsh to me.
@@jemand7488 I disagree. Sure, it does offer some sense of security, but that is not the main reason why most (at least I) believe in God.

And don't take this as me trying to push religion or anything, just stating that fear is not my reason for believing.
@@zanzull Yeah, I agree to a point. There is no way we could actually conceptualize Heaven and Hell or what it contains. So maybe there would be varying degrees of damnation or whatever. Maybe not.

The religions that are easiest to follow and that give the harshest punishments for disobedience always seem to become the most popular. It entertains my own personal theory that goes this way: If an authority figure creates an edict that is easy to follow promising infinite reward, and inversely, if ignored, enforcing infinite suffering then it will be widely agreed upon. I find that the proof of this is seen in what religions still float around today. While many religions explain the origin of earth and all on it, the ones that stick around are the ones that promise reward and horrible punishment.

As a theist, I really like your honest analysis and respectful attitude when describing these arguments. I actually don't use any of those arguments since I think the existence or absence of God is not something "to know" or deduce logically.Since the universe is so big compared with our knowledge, and our science is still limited, then there is neither a way to prove or disprove God's existence.Even our human brains and logic are limited so we have no way to know yet if God exists or not.We can only choose to believe or not, and any of these choices are ok since we still don't know logically/scientifically.I choose to believe in a higher power since that gives me more psychological comfort.
I’m glad you liked the video! I agree with a lot of you had to say and respect your honesty and position. Thanks for a great comment 👊
As our Universe is part of natural reality and a god is supposed to be supernatural science, limited or not, by definition can't (dis)prove the idea. There are other ways though.

You are not a Christian if you believe "just in case".

They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed..."
When I TRULY believed, I received miraculous power to accompany it. In example, I prayed a friend into God's presence and out of a coma when he hung himself in prison.

My favorite version of Pascal’s wager is what if there’s a god who only sends atheists to heaven
If they say it doesn’t make sense, just tell them “God works in mysterious ways”.
Darkmatter actually made a video titled "The greater insult" where his version of god took an islamic girl, a christian guy and an atheist guy, and asked if the other 2 wanted to switch with the atheist.
Obviously, they said no, and the atheist was free to go.
The skepticism in the video is so pithy and weak, as you may have already knew different sects in the religious sphere has their own concept of life after death, some do believe in a black or white (heaven or Hell) others believe they will be resurrected into other beings, some believe they will be stripped off conscioussness and become one with the universe, this guy uses big words but i promise you all of his arguments have grave deffects in them , he couldnt even refute the pascal's wager using his 'fallacy technique' nearly every atheist i met have something for this reasoning perspective unbeknownst to them, these systems were a human thought and atheist point of view is conducted by a 'moral relativism' which means that as an atheist you can use these fallacies to support your argument and you would be right and u can reject them and call them stupid, and you would still be right.
@OLGaming dude literally, you're embarassing yourself, the wager is actually not an argument for God's existence 😂😂 have you ever read the oxford handbook of philosophy of religion? No?

I considered myself Christian until senior year of high school, but I had been questioning my beliefs for several years prior. I spent the next 7 years after high school considering myself an atheist, which brought on constant challenges to my beliefs and pleas to "return to God" from my family. 2 years ago, I finally found spiritual peace. That was when I finally acknowledged that I simply don't know. The creation of the universe could've been random occurrence. It could've been created by a god. Hell, we could be the science project of a higher dimensional being in a universe sized petri dish. I'm okay with not knowing.
My parents have finally given up trying to convince me of my ignorance, so we're able to have meaningful discussions about life, religion and politics without them looking down on me. When I was atheist, I was convinced that religion was evil, causing so many of the world's problems. I now recognize that evil people will always find ways to justify their actions. Religion isn't inherently evil just because it's been used to justify evil. I'm now able to recognize that many of my atheist views were just as irrational as my Christian views. If there's anything to be learned from this, it's that no matter your ideology, arrogance leads to ignorance.
That is so true. It just comes down to what you feel comfortable because you can't know if God exists or not.

My religion teacher in high school used something similar. "Can you see atoms?"
I just looked at her: "No, but there are machines that can detect them" (and now we can actually see them, sorta)
She just gave up right there.
I still consider her to be a fantastic religion teacher. She never once graded me badly for being an atheist and I respect that.
I mean, yea, that's why the sky is blue.
We have the technology to detect and observe oxygen and nitrogen molecules that constitute the air. We can't see emotions either (another favourite argument), but we can observe the hormonal and electrical activity across synapses that is responsible for them. This type of argument is dead as a doornail. God fills the gaps created by our own ignorance. Because there will probably never be a time when we understand everything about the Universe, there will always be room for God. And as such, fighting against religion makes no sense. What does make sense is focusing on widespread, honest, unbiased education and development of critical thinking, and giving people the freedom to decide for themselves what - if anything - they want to believe. Religious upbringing is also not a bad thing, as long as the child has access to all the things I mentioned above and is allowed to choose, once they are old enough, what they want to do with their life without fear of ostracism or discrimination.
One thing I'm sure of is that stigmatising people one way or the other won't get us anywhere.

I would object to Pascal's Wager being classified as an argument for God's existence. It is an argument for why you should worship a God, not if one actually exists.
One implies the other. Unless you are saying you should worship something that doesn't exist, when the logic behind it is that you worship it on the chance that one does.

The thing is, pascals wager is valid but not conclusive. Hence to make a conclusive argument one can't rely on pascals wager only.

Could you elaborate on that by providing an example of what you are referring to?
Worship literally means expressing your belief in a deity and is really a ritual of submission. You can't worship a God that you don't accept as real - or in other words: "God doesn't make deals". It's all or nothing - so the "argument" is that God supersedes all logic and you should believe in him no matter what.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the fine tuning argument is right. It only deals with the creation of the universe and nothing more. Thus, it still has at least three extra aspects about it that many modern day theists would be very reluctant to embrace. 1. The argument doesn't tell you how many gods were involved in the universe's creation; it could be any number. 2. The argument doesn't tell you whether the god or gods that created the universe continued to exist after the creation, or whether it/they exist still. 3. The argument doesn't prove life after death.
The theists that I've heard make the fine tuning argument don't only want to win the supernatural creation debate; they want their opponent to automatically make the mental leap of accepting all the tenants of their specific religion.
yeah, the fine tuning argument belongs less so to a specific religion and is more of a deist approach. you can accept it without belonging to any specific religion
If you want to get into classical theistic arguments, cool.
1. The creation of the universe and of its aspects is the truest example of omnipotence, or the ability to do anything that can be done. 2 beings can't both be maximally powerful, because that would be an internal contradiction. Think about it this way: what is infinity minus infinity? An infinite being only makes sense in the singular. That doesn't mean that we don't believe other beings existed before creation, we do (they're called angels, they aren't omnipotent), but the being that is infinite is what we call God.
2. By nature, if a being exists outside of time, needed in order to be the uncaused cause because only a timeless being can be uncaused, it has never and will never cease to exist. If a being creates wood, can it be made of wood? Same thing. A being that creates time can't exist within it.
3. True. We have to trust other forms of revelation God has given us.
Hope it makes sense! Have a blessed day!
@@dataman6310but the argument didn’t prove the beings involved were infinitely powerful
@V0xct difference between maximally powerful and infinitely powerful. Maximal power is the ability to do anything "that can be done". Infinite power is the ability to do anything. God is maximally powerful. He can't create a stone he cannot lift, nor create a triangle with more than 180 degrees, but those are logically impossible, and maximal power doesn't account for logical impossibility.
How do we know God is maximally powerful? If he created space, time, matter, and energy, there's nothing that can be done that he couldn't do.

It's hardly a trait of just "many theists", that tendency has nothing to do with theism. It's a characteristic of humans in general. I keep seeing atheist videos with snarky comments from atheists that go too far too, like I saw a video about some elective course in Oklahoma in public school which proposed to study the bible as literature not as science, and the comments were filled by atheists saying things like "will the course be studying all the myths of every other religion too?" and they all were just agreeing with each other and it never even occurred to them that it might not be totally unacceptable, while my reaction was "what, do we also need to study every love story ever written when we cover Romeo and Juliet? Isn't it commonplace to study the ancient greek myths as literature? And when I was in high school, we also read the Iliad, which is filled with ancient greek stuff, and also Gilgamesh, which is ancient babylonian mythology." And then of course you go to political topics and they are VERY recalcitrant, being atheist unfortunately has a very high correlation with being on the hard left, and that means alignment with things like feminism, and there's no one more thickheaded and unwilling to consider reason than a feminist. It's unfortunately the case that almost everyone believes in stupid stuff for bad reasons, it's just they don't all agree on which stupid stuff to believe in.

I’m an atheist. The only good argument for believing in god (not necessarily for arguing the existence of god) that I’ve ever heard is that without any practical implications, you might as well believe what makes you happier/what comforts you. The idea of god does that for a lot of people.
Yeah an idea of some higher up power being is nessesary for some people. Im also an atheist, if there was a one true god then why or thousands or millions of years since humans have been alive and able to think why has the idea of whivh god is real changed so many times. At one point alot of people beleived in Odin and those other gods and at another point believed in Zues and those gods. Why if there is one true god why would he allow people for thousands of years to worship false gods then and only thoysands and thousands years later sends down Jesus christ to tell everyone christian god is the real god. None of that makes sense, but people having wild imaginations and making shit up snd passing it down thru generations does make sense until someone else decides om a different view and then start passing that ideology down
The real issue with trying to prove or disprove anything is that we're almost certainly wrong, believe in science or believe in scripture both have obvious flaws. Look back through history, how many times have we been wrong about what we thought were hard facts? The people 2000 years from now will probably look back at us the same way we look back at people who believed that the earth was flat and say "Can you believe these idiots thought that gravity was just something that big enough objects had? It was always obvious that the center of the planet was filled with flesh magnets" or some shit then the people 2000 years from them will do the same. We're all just guessing till we're dead and can learn first hand what comes after, so bet on whatever you want, whatever makes ya feel nice and warm and fuzzy inside is the best option. Or ya can actively choose to believe something that depresses the fuck outta ya, won't change that no matter what you choose you're still probably wrong.

The way I see it, Pascal's Wager isn't designed to convert new believers to a faith, but rather to keep the current believers from leaving.
Bro I was literally just playing that before I watched this video...
That was my last stage before completely going atheist. Can confirm
@Bill Cipher same for me. Then I realized if God was real and could read my thoughts, he'd know I'd think he was evil. There would be no point in me worshipping him since i'd go to hell anyways.
Pascals Wager is effectively illogical. First, you can’t make yourself believe. You can’t force yourself to love someone, to like someone, to believe in someone you previously didn’t regard in this way. You can act it out, but that in itself is deceiving and in a sense acting to deceive - whether for a God or a partner - is despicable behaviour. Second, a God will know your are pretending to believe. They will see through it, obviously, and trying to manipulate or lie to a God is not only pointless but impossible. God, if you recall, doesn’t want acquiescence he wants love. It’s an impossible wager.
Pascal's Wager argument is very mid. It defeats the purpose of having faith. Faith is not merely a fear of hell; it is a deeming attitude towards life. Faith is honest and transparent.

But for the argument in S-tier we might be asking the wrong question.

Although I’m pretty sure Kaku is a believer in a deistic type of god, still, I learn a lot every time I listen to it! Good stuff. Ideas matter. Logic matters…I wish there had been more classes in public school that could have taught me that stuff.
If there’s an infinite number of universes than there’s probably an infinite number of exact copies of our universe. Though they may diverge down different paths at any given second.
If there were multiverses that still doesn’t disprove God, but it would disprove the problem of evil since God has created infinite universes and given all free will, the randomness of humans and the devils deception would change how evil our world would be universe to universe.
by asking why are humans in a place with these conditions, are you not seperating humans from their environment? viewing humans as something that was placed in this world as an outsider rather than as something that grew out of the world where these conditons were already taking place is a relgious perspective in itself. And if the question you are asking is these conditions for life were too complex to not have been created by a god then that means that a complex being had to have made them. And if god is that complex being and complex things have to be created then who created god? and so forth...

@@jonahj9519 I agree, it's more for people who have a sense that a god does exist, like agnostics or even people of other religions. It's just not complex enough to make an atheist mind rethink their beliefs
Edit: Although it is still somewhat effective against agnostics and people of other religions, so I think it should at least be c tier, not every argument is aimed at atheists.
@@shoemakerx0105 Agnostic and atheist are category errors. [as you used here] If you think about it it's not really possible to make any judgement with 100% confidence but even so you still choose to live, feel and think as one of the two options. Even an agnostic who insists that he is agnostic either lives his life praising jesus and praying to god in his thoughts the way christians do or he doesn't do that.
If he doesn't do that he's an atheist. He might not be a *confident* atheist but the category spesifically includes all individuals who are definable as "not theist".
Similarly a christian who doesn't profess absolute certainty is an agnostic theist but saying that adds nothing since it's nothing special about a christian that doesn't have 100% certainty if he lives life praying to god, thinking that there is someone listening on the other end.
The razor thin line in the absolute center doesn't exist cause the human mind doesn't oscillate between two different states that often. The pendulum might swing a few times during a lifetime no more and then settles on a side or the other.
@@cyberneticbutterfly8506 as a Christian with really confusing views, I completely agree with you. Although I think it's more common for religious people to 100% fully believe there is a divine entity. I personally question the specific nature of God, but it's hard for me to imagine reality without a creator of some sort or another.
F minus tier: God exists because the Bible says he does.
That'd be like saying The Cat in the Hat exists because the Book exists. Thank you for spotting out people who probably exist
@Doom Slayer three A tiers and a C tier, not bad!
@Doom Slayer God has never answered a single person as a result of prayer, otherwise the idea of "working in mysterious ways" wouldn't exist, because his reasoning would be given through his communication with his followers. Just as many people who have claimed to see heaven and hell have claimed to have seen things such as ghosts, aliens, bigfoot, etc. Human experience is fallible, especially when perception is not something that is always guaranteed to be reliable in humans (brain diseases, conditions that induce hallucination, etc.) The devil is mentioned in the bible, but his proof is never found in how people are influenced. To say he is real because the bible says he is real is the same argument as the 'cat in the hat' argument.
@zeuytz please find evidence for your argument before spilling your opinion into the comment section.
@Doom Slayer Bruh you didn't have personal experiences with God. Something just happened to you and because of false dichotomy and confirmation bias you think conveniently it is the work of that particular God you believe in.

What on earth is this channel... I love it😂 personally I'm a Christian and the main reason I am willing to believe is that it's logically possible for there to be a God and obviously some people think logically possible for there not to be a God. So now I have a choice and I have decided to go with the God side because I feel there is significant historical evidence even though there is a chance it's all just crazy people or something (sometimes you gotta take risks in life and it's not hurting me because I feel like I'm able to have a relationship with God and it makes me happier even if it's not real lol). And I choose Christianity because thats what makes the most since to me. This is the first video of yours I've seen so I don't want to judge a book by it's cover, but the only thing I usually hear atheists saying is that I can't logically prove God exists, therefore He doesn't exist which is dumb. Thanks for being chill and open about your learnings and good luck on your endeavors 👍
Thanks for not being a really loud and mean crazy religous person have a nice day
Even if god doesn't exist god still gives a good set of moral values, holds you accountable to love everyone and be the best person you can be without any external force but yourself doing this. Christianity can make someone think or take a new point of view and think of everyone equally instead of being a savage although we do know how many wars religion has caused just like any difference but thank god for opening some people's mind to new ideas instead of feeling disgust which humans naturally do when they see anything different than what they are used to like (skin color, food, appearance, etc). Even if some people don't believe it has helped many.
Love it
This is what separates theism and deism. Theists, like you believe in god because of no particular logic. It just makes sense to you. While deist will claim that they believe in god due to logic. I think it's important for people to know this.

I’m an Episcopalian and, while we are Christians that believe in the teachings of Jesus and the Bible, the culture of the church does not lend itself to hardcore evangelism. The nature of our teachings and practices encourage interpretation, questioning, and doubt in our faith and the Bible. For that reason, I’ve always struggled with the idea that MY God is the only correct answer. It’s a classic saying but I think everyone can be a little right even if different beliefs completely contradict each other.
All this to say, I really appreciate your refutations to all the stated arguments, I am a strong believer that it’s really healthy to question your own beliefs and evaluate how you truly feel! The whole video I was waiting for the argument in the S tier because that is one of the reasons I believe science and faith can work in tandem, but hearing your refutation was a refreshing perspective ❤️ Thank you so much for your work to be respectful but make people reevaluate their views. I never leave long comments like this, but I just really wanted to express my support even as a theist. Great video!
Uh, viv, I suggest that you reevaluate your position and belief in the bible as a whole cuz you really need to discriminate and isolate those passages that on its face are unbiblical like those contained in Leviticus and Deuteronomy on some misbehavior and some teachings of Jesus that are so unJesusnlike and obviously put in his mouth by writers who want to put fear in their readers or listeners, falslely using the name of Jesus.
Cont....are you then calling yourself an Episcopalian theist or Christian theist which means worshipping God with your own unique forms of ritual and ceremony as a worshipping religious group more out of faith than a certainty about God's existenc

Second response:
God does not want to force you to have faith.
It must be your own choice.
Dead Sirius For that you have to know what God wants, because Satan is, I believe, the opposite of God? So Satan would do the opposite that God would want? Then you have to have evidence for what God would want. I am not a part of any religion btw just stating my input.
Satan would be a scapegoat, if there is an all-knowing and all-powerful god, then he would have complete control over such a being as "Satan".
@@xuerui The problem with Satan is that if all of existence is part of God then Satan and all associated to him are actually part of God. Not to mentions that Satan is an angel and angels were supposed to be manifestations of God's spirit. This would say a lot about the nature of God if it was indeed a fact.
As a Christian, I just heard something very interesting from a preacher on Sunday. He said “You can’t prove God exists, but you also can’t prove that He doesn’t exist. That’s why believing in Him is called faith”. Believe, don’t believe. It’s all a choice that everyone should be allowed to make and others should just accept peacefully.
Edit: This doesn’t mean you can’t defend your beliefs! You very much should. This just means you can’t force your beliefs on anyone; people will believe what they want to believe.
ur so right! i personally don't believe. many people do/don't, but that doesn't mean that any of them are wrong.
Yeah but in the context of a debate or discussion on this topic that is called shifting the burden of proof and it’s a fallacy. Theists make a positive claim and thus have the onus to prove it, it’s not on others to disprove the claim.
How does that preacher know we can't (dis)prove that? Quite a claim, it needs to be proven .....
@@arcticpangolin3090 waaaiit omg that's smart, you're so right
@@arcticpangolin3090 a positive claim does not result in responsibility to prove. It is rather that the person that makes a claim that deviates from the most people has to prove his claim.

The personal experience one is more an explanation of "why I believe in God" rather than "why you should believe in God."
Fair enough, but some people do sometimes try to use their personal religious experiences to argue why one should believe in God, or why belief in God is more reasonable than disbelief or lack of belief in God.
has both meanings, "i had faith and now i can confirm he exists but i cant show you, you have to have faith and then you will know too"
@@JibrilPC Well thats true for every God theory tho you can never really 100% prove to someone God exists thats why it's called faith
Not always. I've often seen it used as the foundation of why you should believe in God. It generally goes, "I like you. I want you to be saved. I know God is real because of experience. Since I know God is real, I know it is in your best interest to believe in God."

@@JJSquirtle that's actually smart I've read the bible to so i might do that
I think this one would be called "begging the question" in logic. It essentially implies arguing in circles. Ex: God is real because the Bible declares that God is real, and the Bible is true because it is the word of God and well, God is real!
The premise of the argument basically declares the conclusion. It amounts to "God is real because God is real".
This book I found in the most shady, brainwashed and most secretive era of my age whereas I posses no information about it's production witholds nothing but the truth

I prefer to enjoy my life and not give a crap what other people think. Besides, my lack of faith is not intrinsic to my identity, so I don't feel personally attacked like someone of faith feels when their religion is mocked. My lack of faith is merely the conclusion of data to the contrary of faith. I feel absolute indifference to their personal theories on existence.
Besides, they genuinely feel sad that I'm "not going to heaven" so it's out of love that they are always trying to change my mind. I'm supposed to feel bad for my own feelings when my feelings aren't even hurt?

@@martytu20 so I guess yeah he determined it or predetermined it, however you wanna call it. But again, it's not because he's ignoring it, he sees all and knows all... It's just he's given every single human being a chance to do what they want and, as far as I know, crimes against other humans are more severe in terms of the punishment received than just simply questioning God's existence, in which case there is a chance that you'll go heaven or paradise or the garden if you were a good person (which I believe a lot of atheists are).
Kingofthehill normally the Bible is read more as “people who believe go to heaven no matter how they acted and people who don’t go to hell no matter how they acted” and how you treat people is more of just raising and lowers your level of treasure/torture.
