its better to be an atheist than to be a religious person who is judgemental..let her be
Black Chuba very true preach that
@element5888 "refusal" is an extreme word. I can say the same thing about you. You are refusing to accept undeniable proof like evolution. See?
religion in itself is highly geographical, the concept of existence of higher being is determined by your location in the globe and your culture. we ought to remember before the white came holding a gun on one hand and the Bible on the other, each region of the world and indeed various african had their own concept of higher being. it's a question of Research and embracing historical facts devoid of emotional thinking.
damn right and Mohammad took full advantage of that fact and turned it into a Political movement ala Alexander the Great, trying to conquer on the basis of a "holy mission"
Couldn't have said it better myself, the problem is there's a stigma attached to atheists. A lot of African don't have a choice about whether or not to believe in god because they would be ousted by their communities if they said they didn't believe in a god.
Somehow its painful for people to admit it but she is right! Some of the worst crimes in this world were caused by people who claim to be religious. Her words "Religion and Morality are 2 separate things"
Sure
I think her belief affects no one.It's a free world.Her belief that God does not exist need not affect your belief of God's existence.
Trace Ndore I get what you mean, but she does not have a belief.
You cannot say a person who does not do any spots, say Volley ball, golf, soccer, tennis etc, when explaining why she does not participate in spots, that her spots of not participating in spots is not a dangerous spots.
Theism = belief in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe.
Atheism= disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.
She lacks belief in God/gods/devils/demons/Satan.
She does not believe anyone who tells her that there is a God.
Its not that she does not believe that there is no God. She does not hold any belief on the matter.
@@mthokozisilanga4497 There in lies the problem with atheism, no human can live it out consistently.
A Kenyan rapper, who emancipates herself from religion, is a good summary of what the world needs.
I love her already....Shout out to Harrison❤️the president of AIK💥
Love from 🇬🇭 Ghana
Religion is meant to keep your mind bound in chains....
Exactly

The sad thing is that foreign religions were imposed onto Africans through violence and that Africans lost their own indigenous cultures dealing with spirituality.
Very true!
I'm religious but it would go against anything I believe in trying to belittle or infringe on this ladie's right to not believe in the existence of God. I couldn't prove it myself. its a belief that let's me have an avenue when I can't explain the cause of a heartache.
I admire her courage and let us all seek truth, balance and happiness in life in whichever form.🙏
Yes I can see cold. Go inside a freezer and it will manifest itself in frostbite. Cold comes in liquid, solid and gaseous form.
You might claim 2 have faith but you need humility more.
+ReerBaadia no you don't see cold...we experience it's manifestation , just as we experience Christ manifestation ..
+zangif tang
Except that UNLIKE your imaginary friend.... with out fail, we can PROVE it's cold, SHOW EVERYONE REPEATEDLY, *and we can tell you precisely and EXACTLY HOW cold it is.
I also don't SEE Fairies. With YOUR logic, we all HAVE to believe it to be true because "I experience it's manifestation." (laughable)
+VOLT ZORO well that's the reason we have the Gospels. We can test them, for their historicity if they are fictional or true.
+zangif tang
I was a christian for nearly 20 years BEFORE I knew ANYTHING about its history. There were about FORTY gospels in use for over 300 years after Jesus is said to have lived. You ever heard of the 'Nicene Creed'? I still know it by heart. That was when Emperor Constantine and a bunch of bishops met for the First Council of Nicaea in the year 325 ad. They literally VOTED of which of the gospels would be canonized.... the rest... deleted. NONE of those _remaining_ gospels have known authorships. NONE of the gospels were written by the apostles. NONE of the gospels were written down until nearly a half-century *after* jesus was said to have died. The gospel of Mark was written first. (Interesting note: In the last chapter, verses 9-20 where NOT in the oldest copies of Mark. The forged verses include things like: you can cast of demons, preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE, you're damned if you don't believe, you can *speak in tongues*, you can heal the sick, and my favorite one; one can handle snakes and *drink any deadly poison*. Those verses were ADDED to the scripture sometime between the 4th and 6th century.)
Mark was the shortest, least elaborate, and least 'miracle' oriented. Each gospel account after that, copied from Mark, and embellished more and more to the story. John and Luke are just 'hammed' up versions to one-up the earlier accounts.
And now to your actual reply.
You said, " ...the Gospels. We can test them, for their historicity if they are fictional or true."
There's not to much we can actually TEST here. There have been a few instances where a 'christus following cult' was mentioned by historians long after that time-frame, but only stating that they *heard of a group* of people who BELIEVE the scriptures. And even if there were contemporary accounts mentioning a Jesus-following group... it gets us no closer to answering the EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS made in the bible OR the gospels.
Look, I'm not a "Jesus denier". Maybe he is an historical figure. So, what. In that time and place, dozens of people went around saying they were the 'messiah'. Google "Apollonius of Tyana".
I am super proud of her! This is absolutely great. Regardless of what your beliefs are, you’ve got to realize how strong she must be to stand alone especially with all the opposition around her.
Beautiful woman. Yes more people should be like this. Leaving religious delusion behind and living a real life. Religion discourages thinking
Really, religion discourages thinking?
Doesn't God Himself say in Isaiah 1:18 , "Come now, and let us reason together"?
Of course you know that is a joke. Religion does not go hand in hand with thinking, and even reason. That is why you are not supposed to ask any q uestions in religion, just follow what is there like a sheep, believing that it is true through faith lol.
Avery religious person thinks heir religion is true, and wants everyone be converted to that one only. They think the others are lost except themselves. Crazy idea. And there is those who believe it. Ignorance
90% of Kenyan females cannot match her conciousness.
She might be atheist but she speaks like a spiritual person. Ase' ✊🏿
Morality & religion are two different things! when I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad! I believe that!
The atheist movement in Kenya is growing. Logic and reason is the way to go.Kudos Xstatic.
It is not a movement. You just wake up one day and think, and realize you've been believing in fairy tales.
@@daniells71 nah
It is so unfortunate I stumbled on this an year later, when I first came across a group of atheist it was around mid year 2016 two guys from KU I will never forget and me and my best friend were pretty much defending Christianity but after that debate we had a kind of chance of heart,my bestie and I went home and were like damn those guys just made wanna convert the funny thing is we actually won the argument we had killer points and stuff but after we sat down and thought about it long and hard it was clear they made more sense, I can not speak for my best friend no, but I can speak for myself. I have since then moved from Kenya to another country and I get her a point. The unfortunate part about it is the people who call themselves religious they are the first to break the rules and laws in their holy books I speak this from experience. Another sad fact is we are so confided to the so called religions that we tend to suffer for it the biggest and most common of all cases is our dear religious leaders their lavish lifestyles and their poor congregation. I grew up with a dad who was a pastor his example alone was enough to create an atheist in but you see with kind of society we have it makes IMMORAL if you do not belief in God I could go on all day but I will stop at this we need as community to think out of the box the box called religion we need more minds like this big up to this lady.
Somebody at last is speaking in a simple, clear language on the fallacy of religion!
Wauw this is one intelligent woman who has the guts to follow her heart in a continent where religion has really messed up the mentallity of Africans and caused us to be ashamed of our culture, religion and even physical selves.
I understand this lady I am an ex pastor and came to realize the problems of religion
Respect to Xtatic for being brave and using her brain to think rather then bowing to herd mentality of religion which was enforce upon our ancestors by the sword.
She opened her third eye.
peter kamau she did that and its very dangerous
celoh Please elaborate. What is third eye and why is it dangerous?
Nicholas Too just look it up on you tube and see what its all about
she is woke.
am not shocked before Jesus ascended he said one day things will change false prophets atheist this are end times i rather die than worship anything else than God God is my everything my life love you God worship you till i die to hell we msichana ask mj
Unfortunately Jesus is not a historical person. Just stop been lazy and begin to study your Gospels.
To get to understanding of these books. Take 4 of the same version of the Bible, then open each Bible on different Gospels, ie Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.
Read each chapter of these Gospels simultaneously and compare the contradictions each writer has against the other.
They do not agree on how Jesus got his disciples, where he was born, how many donkeys he rode to Jerusalem, even the resurrection has different accounts, witnesses, what they saw or did not see, what was said and what happened.
Just study these Gospels wnd we can discuss other points that refutes the existence of such a character.
Bullshit he is just want fictional character from a fairytale
"end times" .... that's a ploy to create fear & fear makes u do what the masters want............ What I find fascinating is in school we are taught about evolution with evidence, dinasours roaming the earth again with evidence, carbon dating of fossils etc etc & in the same class room about Adam & Eve, with no evidence. So which is which??? Is it science or religion??. Govt should just makeup it's mind & teach us one & stop confusing us.
You are riddled with fear and sheep mentality. But good for you if your greed makes you think you'll ascend unto streets of gold eating milk honey and manna.

she is living her truth...i admire her tenacity
I am simply proud of this chick. That's the least I can say.
Omg i was raised sda as well. Im an atheist too
"Belief is not reality. You may believe in God, but your belief has no more reality than that of the man who does not believe in God. Your belief is the result of your background, of your religion, of your fears, and the nonbelief of the communist and others is equally the result of their conditioning. To find out what is true, the mind must be free from belief and nonbelief. I know you smile and agree, but you will still go on believing because it is so much more convenient, so much more respectable and safe. If you did not believe, you might lose your job, you might suddenly find that you are nobody. It is being free of belief that matters, not your smiling and agreeing in this room."-Jiddu Krishnamurti
Evolution is a fact . Theory in science is the highest pinnacle in science. Evolution is supported by a huge body of sciences
This is what incredible freedom does to the mind of an intellectual. Thumbs up Lady.... Its narrows down to choice... I cnnot criticize you coz you kno enough to make your constructive decision.
Liz this lady thinks that she is the first one to have such beliefs. I think she is just obsessed by the speeches and lectures of world renowned atheists like Richard Dawkins. But anyway, a christian who knows Gods will and does not live in accordance to His will, is more or less like her. You may meet in hell some day hehe..... So lets give he her freedom she has the ability to choose her path and destiny, thank God she was raised a christian.
So just to be clear... According to your statement Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Atheists, and the other 4300 or so religions are the anti-christ??
+Liz Kanini Do you mind answering Daniels Mech question please
+Liz I pay you the respect that you are pro-christ. Preaching all this gospel on youtube then concluding with a claim that you dont have time to deal with satanism is frightening. That is being Antichrist.
+Liz Kanini When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad.that's a religion
you are brave coming out in Kenya. All the best.
First time I'm hearing of this young lady. She's brave to openly talk about her beliefs or lack thereof, on a national platform.
Exactly-Can't explain=Let her be
You are the one believing in religion and you call those who have left those beliefs ignorant? Maybe ignorance has changed meaning. Since when did Jewish religion myths and religion become intelligence? oh my
God am not a saint,am sinner who keeps on repenting. Forgive me. I have every reason to believe that you exist.
I don't understand how people could believe in something that endorse slavery. Many innocent people been slaughtered out the name of religion
You just said "Ngai" in they beginning. God is superior
I guess saying santa too means he's superior
your an amazingly strong woman. I have a huge amount of respect for you.
Found my future wife! I love the way she thinks.
Too late, she's been married for years.
I'm sure we can come to some sort of understanding lol
Atheism is just a religion of facts. A negation of spirituality.
I know a good divorce lawyer
lol... a good divorce lawyer! hehehehehehe
An Atheist is a person who doesnt believe in the existence of God or gods ..that means Africans were not Atheist because they believed in the existence of gods each tribe had their own god and their ways of worship
Believe it or not Islam says even if someone is worshipping a stone respect them.............
straight from the "Moon God"
You see this is the problem with the world MISUNDERSTANDING ISLAM!!!!!!!
Arab invention somehow you need to do your research.......don't be afraid of what you don't know but what you know instead......I come in peace.
Naima Ahmed Islam is a violent, satanic religion. It preaches war and genocide and paedophilia.
Liz Kanini First of all, Islam is a religion not a person, you cant say that "Islam worship God".... I think you meant to say "muslims worship God" and that's fine if you want to think so. My assessment of islam is of the religion not of any single individual. Therefore I am not insulting anyone, I'm insulting their belief system, do you follow? I'm insulting the fact that Islam, as a religion, openly promotes paedophilia, I'm insulting the fact that Islam AS A RELIGION openly promotes the mass murder of all non-believers (also known as infidels). That's what I'm insulting.
I hope people will be more open to question their believed as we see the rest of the world abandon religion. go AIK!
Liz Kanini , needing god would be going with the wind that you advised me not to follow. If today was my last day, I wouldn't go back to religion or any god for that matter.
Liz Kanini no offence, I wouldn't look forward to that. it is highly unprobable he'd do anything considering the world history :)
Liz Kanini I asked for answered and I got nothing. Till I find true ones (answers) then I will keep searching and figuring stuff out. one problem at a time
Liz Kanini , let us not forget you're the one that came to my comment to put your ideas here. I am not ordering anyone around. I am responding to you only because you responded to my comment and I wanted to comment to you.
Liz Kanini, sawa mrembo.
Love you Xtatic.
don't I love you xtatic!
False doctrine and believe will raise up,in this day and age,not a suprise
She's justified. I like the way she thinks
the Europeans sent their worst to Africa, but kept the best. the lunatic, religious fanatics in the name of missionaries. the damage is done
The lack of belief in religion is okay, because true Christianity is not a religion.
What do you mean that Christianity is not a religion?
When I watched this show live on tv ,I really could not understand why people were atheist,but now I really understand the problems with religion
18:51 Am i the only who hears a voice say'' OOH I FORGOT AT..'' 18;51 After larry says Illuminati Or is it just the Director or Camera man talking to larry....

Behavior and character maketh a person!!! enough said!!!
I love that lady. soo nice and eloquent
Love her!
Does God exist? How do you know that He exist? I 100% concur with her
when christians say "God is out of space and time" makes me giggle. If it were true then he would not have to "play by the rules" of space and time.We have him "becoming" jealous, angry e.t.c. ..so he could not sit on the "back end" of time and control his emotions LOL
Why giggle? If something "created" the universe it simply means they are not bound by the laws of space time since the beginning of the universe marked by the big bang is seen as the beginning of space time
Our beliefs are imposed on us by both our parents and our society. It is not something that came naturally on us, like breathing, it is learned.
The worst thing about religion is that it does not allow critical thinking, you have to stop thinking or asking questions.
We are allowed to criticise a politician, a government, doctor or even jugde’s decision, but we are not allowed to ask or question religion.
Religion also likes to claim morality, when it lacks one:
1. The Bible in both New Testament and the Old Testament, encourages slavery.
The Bible promotes stoning of wrong doers?
It also encourages that one may abandon their family members for a belief.
If one could use the 10 commandments they will end up in prison.
You use Bible’s geography, and you will miss 99% of the of the world.
You take the Bible as history you will be bottom of the class, so is its biology.
You take the Bible as the book of cosmology you will know nothing.
Try and use the Bible as a medical guide and you will be sued for malpractice.
That is why we have the country’s law, why do we waste time and money creating bills that gets to be passed into laws if our morality comed from the Bible?
We get educated people, who spent years studying and practising law, to become our law makers. Why not just use the Bible as it is and then remove the judiciary and allow the pastors, priests, ministers and Imams to decide on cases?
Double standards, the very same Christians who thinks that raising a child with critical thinking is wrong; they themselves are not even teaching their children the Bible. What they do is just to instill fear in children like, if you steal or lie God will burn you in hell. They leave the rest to the Sunday School and the church.
What morals are you teaching your child by instilling fear?
I teach my children the real reasons behind doing wrong, simply like:
It hurts others.
It may cause other people not like you.
It may result in you been removed from us for a very long time, not been able to eat the way you eat at home or play with your favourite toys.
But mostly it will make you a bad person, bad people are not fun and their happiness is short lived.
People likes an honest person.
So is anything I have pointed out here, teaching a child to be immoral?
Get right the first thing. Beliefs are elective, passed down culturally, by tradition as well. She’s not yet clear about Darwin’s evolution, but she’s got the clear mindset unfiltered by dogma.
More than religion there's something far much significant: godliness is what we need to achieve nirvana on earth.
Interesting discussion, I wonder which god she is calling at 0.49 as the show begins
The first brainwashed comment I've seen... MAZEL TOV sheep, you made a pointless comment in a forums of reasonable intellectuals
And when the son of God is near.... it shall be like the times of Noah .
I wonder what madowo thinks about this interview today. Now that he lives in society that values free speech. A society that has religions other than Christianity and Islam. I would love to meet madowo but I think he’s a big shot now.
her definition doesn't make alot of sense, anyway, most of that Interview doesn't. Anyway she can believe, or not believe whatever she want. "if you don't stand firm on something, or will fall for anything and everything."
for you not believing in God is your own will and not Gods
She has a point
Belief or lack of belief there of of the existence of God is based on free will.
I like her shes a wonderful human being...all African tribes had or still have their own way of worshiping their creators..THE JEWS DONT BELIEF IN XTIANITY,THE INDIANS HAVE THEIR HINDU ETC..The Jews, Indians/Asians have never abondened their religions.Its We Africans that did and look How messy Africa is..Africans should wake up...THE ANGLES AND JESUS ARE POTRAYED AS WHITE..AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE DEVIL? THEY POTRAY HIM AS BLACK...GO FIGURE
this is just like telling me..
I don't believe BMW owner existed. did the car just appeared? or u don't believe there is potter, did the pots just appeared? ..... there is a creator of everything. so the creator of the universe is much existing. I don't need religion to tell me that, there is the supernatural beyond the creation. there must be the owners of the universe and it's creation. let me stop there.
+Liz Kanini haha I didn't know yaye, let me continue with prayers they might heal someone somewhere......
+Chicks Kago I feel like someone is saying my mom and dad don't exist for me to be alive... I just appeared, they had to be there for me to exist.....and therefore there had to be the owners of earth who believed its good for them to give us a place to live. cycle continues .
I wish she could see things in a little different angle.... it don't have to be religion wise... Just appreciating little oxygen that we equally use without paying n thank the owners whom it happens to be The Most High God who she denies His existence........ ....
+ Chicks Kago basically your argument is a pot has to have a maker it follows a human has to have a maker... that reasoning is self defeating; why? please look up the watchmakers analogy....
And if God exists, then who created him?
if kuna Vitu hunipa heart attack 😥😥😥😥😥it's such things woi
Hahaha relax. Be at peace with God and just pray. Remember nothing is impossible. Fear is not from God ... woop woop
Aki for real but they are prophesied like in 2Thessalonians2:7 For the mystery of (lawlessness) is already at work;only he who restrains it will do so until he is out of they way (that's Satan )
God will send them a strong delusion to believe a lie for they loved not the spirit of truth vrs 10-11
psalms 14:1The fool says in his heart "There is no God "
they are corrupt, and do abominable deeds, there's none that does good. we have several verses that speaks about them
I like. I like. I like. I have learned something here today.
all glory to The Most High 😊😊. Blessing!!
I don't believe that a man can know God..he is too big for you to fit in your little mind...noone knows him or how he operates...for all you know he could be sitting on his throne and left us alone along time ago
" i do not see a problem with lacking belief in something"
if you lack belief in gravity, that would be a BIG problem.
@Its . xdonnie Exactly why i said my comment. You are adding weight to my point .The fact that gravity does not need you to acknowledge it to take effect, is the reason why you NEED to believe that it exists. Because it can be dangerous if you do not. This is why i said , "if you lack belief in gravity, it would a BIG problem".
My guy, just read the comments and try and understand before you try and "own" me. Otherwise you may make a fool of yourself. Just relax, its youtube.
wow, great
Research has advanced since Charles Darwin. Darwin is just the founder
I respect her choice of belief, but I really want to debate her!!!!!
at 24:51 she just said Oh my God
LOL. Don't get excited. It's just an expression.
Its an acknowledgement of a supreme being... if she wants to give us a lecture on atheism she ought to internalize it to the core.. not to find herself using such an expression.
thechangeish So, if someone says "holy cow", then that is a recognition that a holy cow exists, right? Makes sense to me. LOL
Hahaha^^
So when I say "Holy Moly" I acknowledge Moly as a supreme being?
>>she ought to internalize it to the core
What's up with the oh my God statement your confusing us
sony music manenos
...unfortunately you can read a lot,..and end up having read the wrong books
I wont judge her version of atheism but I think it's an incomplete philosophy there are some un nuanced notions.I have not completed her story but I think this is a person undergoing cultural inferiority complex, and alienation. Especially when you have been a christian and don't own it by yourself then go to USA or just abroad where religion is not a big thing and you become disintegrated in every sense of your believes and if you have nothing to fall back then you lose it. I can see a disintegrated and dissollutioned persona.Look from the accent per see, from Kisii, to American to Black American to the Southerners .Just messed up.Language is key being in US I can see it through her
Why would any Christian or God believing person try to defend God?
christianity is not a religion...its a relationsip with Jesus Christ
many will come up withan argument that theBible was introduced to Africa in a violent manner but even before that Africans believed in higher power and no matter how Christianity came, therecan only be one truth wheather you like it or not.
Be blessed
I like this girl! 🥂💕
I think most of the people on this comment section are actually atheists
It's funny we natural beings limit a supernatural God and deny his existence.
i would never respect anything Un-Godly.
OK sheep
she raps good!!
morality has nothing to do with religion, its just a matter of religion
the thunder which will fire you is still doing push-ups.
How doesn't she believe in evolution when there's scientific facts that proves it?
Good for her..1 the whole jesus and mohammad crap is nothing but a fallacy
Damn she's pretty

tell us
i do not have enough faith to be an atheist.
Did i Hear her Saying Oh My God?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2o:88?
im wid her entirely she just got a problem expressing herself though
gal u soo pretty but u need redirection. who gives u breath n life everyday, i wish u wud have said u dont believe in any religion but not saying you don't believe in God.
+Liz Kanini very true..devil will always appear in the exposed places n in this case pple will be deceived with mony n riches but there is nothing to enjoy there, satan does not give anything freely and due to many people being thirst of riches thy will be drawn to believing nonexistence things. only by the Blood of Jesus and following God's commndments will save Those who are called by His own purpose.
stop joking about God she just said "oh my God" at 22:09
Though late to comment...it's a figure of speech🤦🏽

It called mental slavery and we Kenyans excel at it.

What!?????? Really is this still a decision?? if you do not believe in anything then how did we come to existence, no theories??

Read the bible and you will find the truth and the truth will set you free
That's actually true. Read the bible and emancipate yourself from religion. The atrocious, misanthropic worldview therein will make you an Atheist instantly.
She contradicts herself in explanation.I don't understand what she means by atheism .
Christianity actually came to Africa before it came to the west.
Call it the atheist delusion
24:49 an atheist goes "Oh My God!"
it is a common thing. coz that is what we were raised saying. i am an atheist
