I have a friend who converted to Buddhism from fundamentalist Christianity. His family and former church said that he left cause he didn't want to be held morally accountable. Which is hilarious, considering that Buddhism is all about moral accountability lol. We had a good laugh about it.
And if the gawd of the Xians is real, then everyone will be held accountable regardless of their belief, so how does leaving that religion let you off the hook? The answer should be "It doesn't", so as usual the Xlings have no clue about the religion they claim to follow. Absolutely ridiculous.
“You just want to sin” sounds to me like the utterance of a closed mind. Rather than ask questions to understand, they jump to a comfortable conclusion that allows them to avoid considering another view.
For me, it was such a closed-minded statement that I finally just said, “Yeah, you got me. I just wanted to sin because it’s so much more fun”. It’s not as if you can convince them, so why bother trying? They’re just going to believe it anyway, no matter what you tell them.
I was THE pious religious kid, so you can easily imagine how I heard the ‘You left Christianity to sin!’ (And still hear it) when I had to come out as gay. Despite my earnest pleading, God did not have any vested interest in making me straight ‘so that I could honor Him’. I went through years of misery and confusion and suicidal ideations, so ‘you just want to sin’ is uniquely reductive and insulting

To say that God sins is really, really wicked. God is good; you are not. In civil courts, people lose money and liberty over libel, yet you libel the righteous God Who made everything. Do you not know that you will stand before Him? Do you not know that hell is real? In 1999, two boys entered their high school, point-blank executed their classmates, then took their own lives. Are they blissfully 'sleeping' now? Is there no consciousness after death? Is there no justice for these two boys who left a nation reeling with shock and grief? Is there no justice? I am not the judge, but my best guess is that you, who have libeled God, will be in worse shape than these two boys on judgment day. They killed the body, but you are leading people to hell, in direct treason to God. You cannot say that I did not warn you. Jesus said that hell is torment and it lasts forever. Yet, Jesus loves you. He died on a Cross so that you may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
People worship out of fear. Being an ex Christian myself, I still have fear in the back of mind for leaving but there is no way I could return, Christianity is morally wrong on so many levels, I can't worship that God. I love these intellectual videos as a reminder that I made the right decision.

I'll pay for my own sins, thank you very much. Lucky for me, all my worst sins were as a Christian, and I've pretty much cleaned up my act as an atheist.
Yes! All my most egregious moral decisions I made as a Christian! And why not? The Lord forgives all! Never mind all the people I hurt, whose forgiveness I really needed.
@@christophergibson7155 I disgree with your assessment here. Had Christians forgiven me, top of the list, my wife and pastors I'd put myself under their authority, I'd likely still be a Christian. I needed their forgiveness and it was withheld, actually to point I nearly suicided. Their unforgiveness (and frankly, dehumanizing hatred) is what lead me to question my faith and belief. If the Christians I'd lived among for years, worshipped with, gone on ministry trips with, loved, and followed Christ with, had actually followed the basic things they claim they believe, I'd never had starting reading Dawkins. Once I started down that path, it was all over, the fabric unraveled and I became an atheist. These days I could care less if those old Christians forgive me, don't care, don't even want to know, and, yeah, my ex-wife, the perfect self-righteous Sunday school teacher who's poop didn't stink, you know, as she was perfect, well, my new girlfriend, an atheist, is infinity better to live with. So, yeah, in the end, their hatred was my salvation. I believed, obviously, God had forgiven me...at the time, now, of course, I don't care. If God turns out to exist, I'll demand he/she/it/they apologize to me. So, yeah, the guy's comment was good, he does understand forgiveness, it's something that we need in a community from other HUMANS...the only beings with minds that we're aware of in this universe (so far).
@@jimmythompson1979 And on top of that, when people have wronged me (i.e., "sinned against me"), I have always tried to be forgiving about the whole thing. I don't hold grudges against people. I basically tend to let things go and try to find the good things that resulted from the harm (did it make me a stronger person? Did it teach me a lesson?) And my default position isn't to seek to brutally torture those who have "sinned" against me. And I don't immediately expect some "payback." ...unlike the Christian god.
Yes you want to be your own god...But you are not the standard of goodness But God is perfection that's why He judges sin but he also provided a for us not to be punished, that doesn't mean sin goes unpunished but Jesus took upon himself the punishment he didn't deserve
I was raised as Roman Catholic, but had evangelical influences in my life, too. When puberty hit around 11/12 I discovered I’m gay. Never did anything at all awful as a child, and to hear it said I was a sinner, it’s evil, blah blah blah, the crimes enacted against LGBT people, really threw a light on so called God and religion and all the rest. By 15 I was an atheist. This was back in the 90s. After ~30 years of investigating Christianity and Judaism and Islam and all their derivative cults… archeology, *secular* and scholarly studies on the faith, the sciences, etc, it’s quite obvious it’s all one big myth. I pity most believers because they are brainwashed. However, I’m convinced many “church authorities” know it’s fiction, but still promote it. Bunch of grifters!
Riddle me this ... If cheezus died to attone for humanities sins, how come we're still all sinners from birth thanks to Eve? Doesn't make much sense, the moment you invest 10 seconds of thinking, eh? Yeah, it's way easier to grift money than to do honest work - none of us have several planes like Copeland.

No wonder why all the sects and branches go to war.
Other Christians assumed that I left because I wanted to sin. Not only that, they assumed that I left because I was not a real Christian. To be honest, I find it offensive because it’s like they assumed that I left for the wrong reasons. Well, I have every good reason to leave, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you, Kristi, for making your videos. It’s a real comfort to know that there’s more people like you who understand what I’m going through. Love your videos! 😊

The world doesn't want to be free from sin, but from God Who says, this path leads to death, and this path, to LIFE. CHOOSE LIFE, that you may live, and this is the condemnation of the world, that a Light has come into the world, but the world preferred the darkness.
TOTALLY agree!!! I'm so glad that Christianity is not a RELIGION, it's a Choice. To be a Christian is to be a "follower" of Christ. The first Believers were not even called "Christians", but followers of "the Way". *John 14:6 (nkjv)* _6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me._ REFERENCES TO "THE WAY" IN THE BIBLE Acts 9:2 (nkjv) 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Acts 24:14 (nkjv) 14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets. All religions of "the world", esteem their own traditions over the Word of God. Christianity is a CHOICE, "Who do you say that I am?", Jesus is asking. Our faith is not based on who others say Christ is, but Whom we Profess Him to be, according to His Word. *Romans 10:9-10 (nkjv)* _9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation._
We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. If a man (woman) says they have never done wrong/sinned they are a liar, and the truth (Jesus Christ) is not in them. We fail as born-again believers to love unconditionally, with an unfailing, everlasting, perfect love because the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. We are not saved because of our performance (behavior) we are saved because of the blood and the finished work that Christ Jesus completed on the cross. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.:
I didn't abandon my pursuit of Christianity because the people who were the most religious were toxic to society. Sin is a fiction. Morality is a guideline, a social contruct, and I can live within that construct when it's not toxic and exclusionary. I want to live with free will, which includes my choice to be moral, responsible, kind, loving, a thinker, and a protector.

Im still trying to figure out what sins my life would be more enjoyable with. For real, this line of thinking is actually so silly. In the time since Ive leff doctrinal christianity, my behavior has changed very little. The difference now is poor behavior doesnt cause me existential anxiety and I feel inclined to actually do better next time.

That’s only because sin pleases people who don’t have a relationship with God. It may seem good first, but it then becomes bad to your life even when you don’t know it or not. Have you ever felt Gods love or His Holy Spirit in you?

I was raised in the "non-denominational" Christian church. To be fair, my pastors never stooped down to the whole angry God preaching, though I did run into a few baptists that did. Overall, most people I met in my church were welcoming and tolerant of different people and they tried to embody the loving side of God. I respect them for that. I stopped believing in the Christian God after reading the Bible for the umpteenth time. The older I get and the more I think about the Bible, the more ridiculous it seems to me that it's the word of God. All the inconsistencies contained therein really turned me away. Your video comes at an interesting time for me. I've just come to peace with my sexuality after years of suppressing it because the Bible says I should. I've had people in the church tell me that the only reason that I left was so that I could partake in "depravity". The truth is, I started living authentically because I don't believe in this BS. I didn't leave just so that I could sleep with 20 different people each weekend. Even now, my life actually hasn't changed that much since leaving. I'm still gainfully employed. I still like to run, read, draw, and write in my free time. I'm not even making homoerotic or "edgy" art. And I'm certainly NOT sleeping with 20 people every weekend, though if other people want to, that's their choice. Anyway, I really appreciate these videos, especially this one. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who had an issue with what the Bible classifies as sin.

I've been an Atheist since I was about 7. I wasn't allowed to ask questions when I was sent to Sunday School. Nothing they were teaching, made sense. So, I asked questions, and was told NO ONE questioned the little black book. After about three weeks, I was sent to the pastor, and was told I could no longer come TO the SS class. When I asked why, he said I was a disruption, and now other kids were asking questions, so... When they were shoving "sin" down our throats, none of it made sense, and seemed rather mean. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this "sin" bulls**t, was just like all the rest of the nonsense, and was all made up by man, to control the masses. When I was kicked out, and the pastor called my folks, they asked why I was being such a brat! I (somehow), calmly told them, that I didn't believe in ANY of the stuff I was being taught. That I thought it was all made up BS, and I wanted nothing to do with it. Luckily, my folks, even though they were Southern Baptist, just agreed, that there was no use in sending me to this church, or any other, so... Thus began my lifelong journey into Atheism. Been content ever since.
If something is true, why would it need to be protected from too much questions. In my experience, people only shield an idea from too much questioning because they know it won't stand up to scrutiny.

Good question: Should God judge wickedness? In 1999, two boys walked onto their high school campus, point-blank executed their classmates, then took their own lives. Were they judged or rewarded for their crime? According to atheism, the boys, who hated people and hated life, made a great choice. They got their revenge and are now blissfully 'asleep,' unaware of the hurt and pain they caused. If atheism is true, then there is no justice. Ever read the bumper sticker, "No justice, no peace"? That is why it is impossible for an atheist to be at peace. The damnable part is that there is no rest for the wicked in the afterlife. God is love and eternity without love is absolute, miserable hell. Yet, Jesus loves you. He died on a Cross so that we may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Hey Kristi. I am now a new atheist and no longer a Christian. I have deconstructed fully after an eye-opening investigation and some self-reflection into my beliefs with my non-Christian parents. My Mom calls herself a Christian that only focuses on the virtuous parts of the Bible and nothing else, and I don’t blame her for that. I have found freedom in thinking for myself and being my true and connected to myself. I realize how indoctrinated and simple-minded I was. I’m free from that now and am more spiritually inclined without the idea of a God, and most certainly not the Christian God. I’ve just acknowledged that I do not know where I’ll end up after I die. I just want to be a good person and send a positive message or messages to everyone I encounter on a daily basis. No matter what, always keep pushing to do that, even when things don’t go as planned in life. Have a stoic mindset about it, and be open to critical thinking and flexibility which the Christians hate
Good on you mate, So now .. As a 50 year old who has seen a lot in life. I was once an ordained minister, I no longer am. I left it way way before you did. In my case, I gave my life to god, so much so that i gave up $50,000 went to uni, got a degree, All to get into the church and.. it wasn't a total waste because you do learn a lot of shit while there and you do have access to resources and people that normal people would not have access to. the irony is, This level of access showed me the following 1. I'm not going to say , God doesn't exist, We don't know if he exists and that's the only truth on that topic. This may be because he doesn't exist, it may be that he does BUT HE DOESN'T WANT US TO KNOW, in which case we are not doing anything wrong. I'll expand on this later 2. But i was certainly not going to find god in the church 3. None of the ministers knew whether god existed or not, Most of there because they were forced to be, some were there because they wanted to be and others were just in a frame of mind that kept them there, sort of cruising along if you will I learned the following - Jesus did actually and historically live, There was a birth , There was him starting christianity , There was the crucifixion that all happened - There are no miracles, You drill down further and more complex and later when you are old enough YOU FIND OUT HOW TO SIMPLIFY THIS SUBJECT and i'll show you how.. 1. You Learn MOSES NEVER EXISTED. Christians will defend this BUT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE HERE IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT 2. Did man receive god's laws ? Well..... Point 1 - Historically Moses (Whether existing or not) NEVER ENTERED THE HOUSE OF EGYPT, There is literally nothing to be found of him in the house of egypt, as an infant, a child, a teen or a man, that decree of Seti i ..... We have things on Seti, THAT DECREE WAS NEVER SET FORTH so.. Moses didn't live in the house of egypt as such The slaves could not have been freed As such He didn't take them to the mountain As such He didn't climb the mountain Nor pass the commandements to the people MOSES IS CREDITED WITH WRITING THE FIRST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE the bible every christian holds today (we won't say... is bullshit) we will say.... IS NOT GOD'S WORD Because Moses never passed it onto man MAN NEVER RECEIVED GOD'S WORD, THAT NEVER HAPPENED Now... When you do your Uni course to be a minister we are actually taught this, We are actually taught that the church created the original bible . so now if a christian defends that 1. They can't because it's the decree of the Holy church, They are wrong and their opinion is irrelevant on the subject of religion because the church makes the rules 2. But we need merely ask this question IS THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD ? and the answer is simple and so is the proof Answer : No it's not The Proof : Find the Source and ask them. I've done this, it's interesting, You should try it Get a bible, any bible, Find the publisher (The company that literally BROUGHT THAT BOOK INTO EXISTENCE) Call them and ask them these questions 1. is this your bible ? 2. is this bible LITERALLY the actual words of god ? They will say NO (and there's your answer) but they will defend their point as follows it's the INSPIRED WORD OF GOD so you ask 3. OK, Where did you get your inspiration from ? was god literally there ? Did you get your inspiration from god himself or a person or other books. THE ANSWER IS... We have derived inspiration from other bibles so basically they have picked and chosen bits from here and there and everywhere... 4. Last Question.... OK, So once your original book was written , Other than Translation or the cover, HAS IT EVER BEEN CHANGED ? The answer is YES IT HAS and we reserve the right to change it without notification NOW HERE IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT.... 1. We ABSOLUTELY KNOW The bible IS NOT God's word (that's not even a question anymore) it's more of a question, does the christian have the nut sack to make the phone call. 2. We know Jesus existed (No Miracles) but... he did exist 3. We don't know if god exists BUT THERE'S MORE 4. AS A FACT....... RELIGION IS A FILTHY , VILE AND DISGUSTING THING Now let's explore, What if God does exist WELL...... 1. If he does and he doesn't want us to know because it's .. Let's say a test to get into heaven or some other reserved special space then... Following religion and reading a word that is not his word IS GOING TO PISS HIM OFF, and get you excluded 2. You need to make a separation between THE BIBLE RELIGION GOD Being Fair..... We shouldn't tarnish the reputation of god (Should he exist) Because all that bullshit in the bible IS NOT WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAID. so i wouldn't dismiss the idea of god I wouldn't spend my life looking for him either.. I DID IT FOR A LITTLE OVER 20 YEARS.... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, Life is precious 3. We shouldn't introduce children to religion and philosophy. their brains are not developed enough until the age of 25 let's say, to comprhend it and make a choice, Religion before the age of 25 should be banned altogether 4. BASICALLY IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT YOU SAID.... LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A GOOD PERSON AND DO YOUR BEST I reckon if there is a day of judgement (and i don't think there is) but IF.... A Lot of christians are gonna get a rude shock because how do you explain to a supreme creator that you were following a word that was not his own when the world told you it wasn't his word VS Me and you and god asking, why did you do what you did? and we're like...... well.... we did our best and tried to be as honest as possible SO THERE YOU GO... A Few things to think about. Don't dismiss that there may be a god (i reckon there isn't) but don't dismiss, at the end of the day, we'll find out when he die... Maybe
@@martinkuliza Long comment but well worth the read. A key standout for me is the belief that IF there's a judgement day, it'll be highly unlikely and I might say foolish to be judged on the basis of not having followed "the right" religion, especially given the fact that there's so many to evaluate for authenticity and so little time in a human's life span to complete that task. It makes far more sense to judge people on their sincerity to finding the truth (whatever it may be) and how ethically they lived.
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 Well IF there is a judgement and IF there is a god i'm certain that he has a method of judging considering our short stay on earth. but one thing i know for certain...... What christians are doing is not going to please him, There's no way it could
People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.
I understand what you're saying about being "defensive," but I think there's another perspective. I find that people who accuse me of being defensive simply want to attack me (verbally, or whatever) without encountering any push-back. So when someone accuses me of being defensive, I say, "Yes. I am. Because if you attack me, I will defend myself. There's nothing wrong with defending one's point of view."

All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents, unbelief etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
@@WhoWellOk God through the Holy Spirit has shown me several things relating to the afterlife with the purpose of convincing people like yourself. Stuff like Heaven and Hell, Angels, and evil Spirits the Lord Jesus (not worthy at all), a miracle happened to me that saved my life (thank you God) & so much more. I am more than happy to give further details.
@@WhoWellOk Nah Jesus is Yahweh revealed in the flesh Psalm 7: 11 God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day. People underestimate hell, it is bad because it is separation from God. In a vision I was shown a person who claimed to be Christian but started fornication (premarital sex), He died relatively young and went to hell forever (1 Cor 6:9). God’s holiness means He will not coexist with sinners forever therefore Repent (Luke 13:3) and have a relationship with Jesus.
I'm an exMuslim and I can absolutely relate to this. They try to reduce our reasons down to simple things like "You want to sin" or "You didn't understand the religion" but I read the fundamental literature and saw the true character of their god and founder and realized I couldn't worship such a deity.
I never was a Christian. I was exposed to it as a youngster via parents taking me to church. As my reasoning skills developed, I shucked the religious stuff out the door. Science, rationality, critical thinking are my cup of tea
If to sin is to question whatever my intellect asks me to question, to defy whatever is logically injust, to break ancient rules that breaking causes no harm... Then yes, I left to sin.
Perfect. Thank you. The "I am holier than thou" mindset has been a part of religion since time immemorial. All the while these judgemental, morally superior believers are no better than the rest of us. All they have to do is say: "Whoopsies. Sorry Baby Jeebus. My bad. Please forgive me". Then they drive off without saying anything to the victims they leave in their wake. Isn't that lovely?
😂😂😂😂 Christians dislike us not because of "sin", they sin too. But because recognizing we deconstructed because of reading the Bible and applying reason, will break the jinx and they might question too. It's easier to condemn us and say "we just want to sin" than address our questions because they don't have a coherent answer and never will.
Funny thing is, whenever an apologist tries to annoy me online, I just ask what denomination they are - for some reason they are too scared to disclose this.
They? No, not really. The original sin concept is fourth century theology. It was, or course, as false back then as it is now, but the original sin concept is not some newish creation.
If I thought sin were a thing and I wanted to do it... why would I _stop_ being a member of the group where I could sin and just get forgiveness for it and everything is fine?
@@indigopinesoh there was a long ass reply here that went off on a religious rant. OP of that reply probably deleted it or OP of this video probably deleted it Apologize for the confusion
There really isn't enough people like you on the internet... Your intellect and depth is both beautiful and astounding. Your giving balance to the extremism that Christianity can be.. and helping allot of people out of detrimental fear and suffering.. can I ask where you are from? I assume somewhere in West or middle of U.S.A..
I think you really hit the nail on the head here. I was so nervous that people would say I became an atheist because I’m gay and wanted to sin, when in fact it was so much more complicated. I left because the God was evil, and then I realized he was just a character in some historical fiction.

ANSWER - The Sovereign GOD KNOWS that all human beings have no immortal souls and will just become worthless and useless dusts on earth after their deaths just like the animals as written in Ecclesiastes 3: 19, 20 and 9: 5, 6 but all his loving, kind, and respectful worshippers who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's disciples and followers, and many others will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever, instead, in the right and proper time, and as written in John 11: 25, 26, he will let Jesus Christ RESURRECT them back to life so they can all happily and abundantly live and exist on earth forever as submissive and obedient subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD" or His Kingdom and fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, goodness, compassions, generosities, favors, and blessings for eternity under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ as his Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth as written in Revelation 11: 15.
Same here. I'm repeatedly told that I left Christianity because I want to live a "homosexual lifestyle" when in fact I didn't even come to terms with being gay until months after I deconverted. I deconverted after becoming aware of the many atrocious acts of God throughout the Bible as well as the numerous contradictions both internal and external.
How is God evil? Because he hates sin? Are there ever good consequences to sin? All sin has consequences whether stealing, lying, homosexuality, being drunk. Some consequences not as big as others. But there is hope! God can forgive you of all of our sins if we believe and put our faith and trust in Jesus, that he died on the cross for our sins.
@@chanty2652 There are just as many consequences, if not more, for heterosexuality. Someone could be accidentally impregnated for example. God is evil for commanding evil things. When a person commits atrocities such as mass genocide, you tend to refer to them as evil-because they have done intentionally evil things. Surely you consider genocide to be an evil thing.
Spot on again Kristy. Your are an absolute amazing deconstructionist , the more I research Christianity the less it makes sense. The myth of someone taking the rap to eating his flesh is truly bizarre.
I didn't leave Christianity. I just never embraced it because even at age 5 it seemed like bullshit to me. NOthing has happened in the subsequent 38 years to make me change my mind. Reading about all the depravity in the bible only crystalized my non-belief in its "truths."

@@Bryan198026 Let ne show you something intense Hell: I was taken there and saw one skeleton in the left and many skeletons on the right facing this one skeleton, they were there for idolatry and fornication, and the background can only be described aa destruction. 2ndly I saw a girl on earth on the same bed as a guy and she kissed him on the cheek (implying a unlawful sexual relationship), the girl died and went to hell and fire consumed her entire bod but there was some skin left over , I remember thinking “at least she has some skin drooping from her face” and then more fire came and consumed her skin
@nickg5010 Negative 👎! To be honest, the concept of a god was ridiculous from the start, but I, like most children, followed the elders. Good luck to you on overcoming your christ psychosis. 😶
Thank you Kristi for putting my exact thoughts in this video. It makes zero sense when Christians use the "you just want to sin" bit to manipulate/guilt/shame us all while, the salvation was a "safety net" if you will for sinning! Like literally they don't actually believe in accountability whatsoever! They blame everything on god or the devil. They think my "sin" is worse than theirs all because of their ability to repent. But, how is it "sin" when we don't believe in the bible therefore, we don't see "sin" the way they do and it's hard for them to wrap their minds around the fact that we just don't believe what they believe so it can't be used against us! If anything, I became a better person after I left Christianity! I'm more conscious of my behavior now than I did while being a Christian... I care about people, the planet, and animals... I'm more compassionate and willing to empathize than ever before! It's all just projection on their part and jealousy that we get to live in our truth while not being worried about the opinions of others meanwhile, their lives are scrutinized and analyzed under a microscope! Thank you for this timely video!!!
Only 1 person ever attempted to use the "you only want to sin" with me. I'm jewish, been an atheist for most of my life and the reason is basically I didn't believe, I wanted to believe in stuff like magic and miracles and stuff but can't. So, one person tried to use the "you only want to sin" thing with me and I honestly asked them what sinful things do I do? and the only thing they could even come close was that I don't follow the sabbath. That was it. They know I don't lie, I don't drink or do drugs or even go out to party. They just couldn't come up with anything at all and they just left it at that. I wish everyone else can have such an easy experience as I did. My parents are a bit disappointed that I lost faith, but they don't fault me on it. They say that it's my journey.
They don't follow the Sabbath, either. Less than a few million people on earth do; just a handful of Orthodox or Hassidic Jews. Christians don't and it's not because of the wrong day. They do things like drive and cook food on their Sabbath, which of course Orthodox Jews don't do. That would have been my response to the Sabbath accusation.
"Cussin', drinking, going to a party, listening to regular music, watching movies, exploring your sexual identity..." So, in one word... Living. Basically to christians, living itself is a sin. In order to avoid sin, one should stop living, or turn into a vegetable, or something. Just ignore them, Kristie. And may i say, if you don't mind... if sinning makes you so intelligent and beautiful... Keep sinning! 😉
I had a friend tell me that I needed god/Jesus because this is the “most stressed” she has ever seen me. Mind you, I’ve seen her 7 times in the last year, we rarely talk about what’s going on in my life, and she had previously ghosted me for the last 4 years. The last time she REALLY “knew” me was when I was a devout Christian. She has a hard time accepting that isn’t my reality anymore… after saying this is the “most stressed” I’ve been (which it’s not, frankly 2020, when I lost my dad was my most stressed) she went on to say that this is the most FREE and confident she’s ever seen me. And THAT is 10000% the truth. My freedom and confidence to be exactly who I am skyrocketed when I left Christianity. I’m sure many of you could say the same!
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents, unbelief etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
Another great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about sinning. I was raised to believe that a sin was doing something that god did not approve. One of the benefits of being a non believer in god, to me, is that I can no longer sin. No god = no sin. Yes I still have morals. I don’t want to wind up in jail.
Quick preface: Secular Buddhist here, but grew up in a protestant primary school with strong links to the Church of England. One thing I've always found weird is that they would say you can't be good without God. That since god is the source of all good, then doing good things, but not in the name of god, is actually a selfish thing, because we're being good for ourselves, and not for god or his children. This has never made sense to me, because being good in Christianity is based on fear. The fear of being sent to hell, whereas people who don't believe in hell and are still good anyway are good simply for the sake of itself. Being good out of fear of retribution completely devalues it as far as I'm concerned. People are good for themselves, but that's because being kind and caring for others, and doing things without expecting personal gain makes people feel good and is good for our mental health (hence why I want to be a psychologist, and perhaps a therapist). If you do selfless things simply because you're afraid of punishment for being selfish, and not for its own sake, that is in itself, selfish.
How does any Christian know they are in the one and ONLY correct denomination of the religion?? If they're not, they burn in Hell. I'm surprised that doesn't disturb them.
Let the church in my early teens, so deconstruction is not a problem for me. However, I work in a company that is verry conservative christian. Of course I am a target for needing saving - and I have frequent discussions and clashes with 'concerned christians' Thank you for your channel. It helps me with my arguments and rebuttals!!
If doing the right thing by people, if calling genocide genocide, no matter who does it; if calling out rapist and racist, no matter who does it; if being kind and compassionate, and not needing the excuse of some God to do it is sinning; if being more like the picture of what we tell people, Christ is, the Christ, who left the synagogue, to be compassionate, and loving is sin, then I guess I am the biggest sinner of all. Thank Goddess!
The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven). If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. (Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead)
In my personal experience, those who stress the fact that they're Christian, tend to be arrogant, disrespectful of other religions, deluded and behave in a manner that's very much NOT what they themselves say about the teachings of Christ.
Exactly none is perfect only christ is perfect. We should strive to be more like christ but we still inherit the flesh. But we are saved from christ that not from ourselves its all him who saves us.
@@yeshuasaves217 Jesus told slaves to "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ".
You’re right when you said it comes from a place of ignorance and insecurity. Isn’t that how all the abrahamic religions were created? In my household we have a saying, don’t trust someone who’s put their trust in Jesus.
You talk about ignorance and insecurity, yet your household saying exemplifies both. If you honestly think a person being a believer in Christ automatically makes us less trustworthy than, let's say, an atheist you've got issues.
Your mention of the varying definitions of sin among Christians reminds me of an incident that a senior citizen (a former Hindu turned atheist) told me about his siblings, mostly a fanatical fundamentalist Christian sister, a Catholic sister, and a Charismatic brother who is equally fanatical as the fundamentalist sister. When the moderate Catholic sister went to do line dancing, that triggered the Charismatic sister very badly and she tried to stop her from doing it, saying that it was 'satanic'. His brother blamed his atheism as the cause of their mother's dementia, and that brother tried conducting various FAILED exorcisms on their mother as well as their other brother who had cancer. After all the prayers and exorcisms, their mother and cancer-stricken brother are now dead and the mother even had pressing marks of someone's hand on her neck while alive to attest to the failed exorcisms which had turned quite physical with her reacting vehemently against it. Did that uncle's atheism cause their sickness? No. Did the fanatical brother and sister's faith as fundamentalists cause immense stress to the family members? Yes. I rest my case. Now, who's sinning against who?
I truly hope church attendance and belief in harmful superstitions continue to decline at an ever increasing pace. Eventually we will hit critical mass and humans will have a better chance to reach their potential. Your work is so important. Keep it up, Kristi!
Ha, excellent take. "You just want to sin!" / "If it's a sin not to believe in an unbelievable system, and to be good to people no matter what the Bible says about them, then yep."
Long story but I left a fundamentalist controlling church group (cult) years ago called the International Churches of Christ in the Boston area. Was really fed up with all of it toward the end. And a woman member I was friends with messaged me several times. Told me she was disappointed I left the fold so to speak. She also tried to lay the whole leaving so I could sin line on me. Said she believed it was all due to sin in my life I didn't want to give up. Admittedly, I trolled her a little for fun. Me being the guy into Heavy Metal and playing in bands. I told her I got seduced by the dark side and the church didn't accommodate my need for hosting blood rituals and having a work lab decked out with black potions and skulls. Just said ridiculous stuff to horrify her. Might have been kind of mean at the time but I thought it was funny.
“That’s what all the Christians do anyway, right?” Funnily enough, that was essentially the position of the Khlysts - the underground spiritual Christian sect linked to the bizarre mystic Rasputin. They openly embraced sinning on the grounds that without sin, there could be no repentance or redemption. At least they owned it, unlike most Christians who act righteously while not following any of Christ’s positive teachings.
If giving up what you love to do (thinking, feeling, being HUMAN), pleases God or Jesus, then I seriously question Christianity's integrity. I write stories, plan to do art, and film. If that's a sin, then it is painfully obvious "Christians" have no clue what they are talking about.🙄😡👎

As an ex-Christian, I would say that American Christians have lost all credibility over the last eight years, and it is not as if they really had any before then. That is part of what spurred me to study and find a way out of what I know is a religion that really does not believe in justice unlessi ti of their own idealizations. It is strange that their whole thing is to tell people that they are a sinner and in need of salvation, and yet they are sinning themselves when they have created God in their own image, and then they don't even follow that God who they claim is Jesus. They only follow their own viewpoints. But they ignore as Jesus the man said, "the weightier issues of the law."
WORTHLESS and USELESS ATHEISM and RELIGIOUS FANATICISM Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and fanatics of all kinds of Religions in the world just have to face the TRUTH about themselves... that they will never be glorified in their make-believe and fairy tale Heaven nor tortured for eternity in their invented and fictitious Hell but just become worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their natural deaths. ETERNAL LIFE and EXISTENCE for WORSHIPPERS of the CREATOR and FOLLOWERS of JESUS CHRIST All human beings have no immortal souls and will just become worthless and useless dusts on earth after their deaths just like the animals as written in Ecclesiastes 3: 19, 20 and 9: 5, 6 but worshippers of the Creator and followers of Jesus Christ who died recently and thousands of years ago will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever, instead, in the Creator's own right time and as written in John 11: 25, 26 all of them will be resurrected back to life by Jesus Christ so they can all have the Creator's favor and reward of ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death on a safe and peaceful earth without liars, deceivers, slanderers, traitors, and murderers as written in Revelation 21: 3. 4, 8. Loving, kind, and respectful worshippers of the Creator like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's disciples and followers, and many others will definitely live and exist on earth forever as submissive and obedient subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD" and fully enjoy the eternal love, kindness, goodness, compassions, generosities, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ as the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth as written in Revelation 11: 15.
Bible says idolatry is sin. Polytheism is sin. Thats a direct attack on many religions. Total disregard for other cultures. And evangelism on top of that .
In the end, the person telling you you reject god because you just want to sin is pretending to read your mind, and this sort of claim can always be dismissed without justification. Just like I cannot just say to a religious person he/she believes just because he/she was indoctrinated as a kid without a good chance of being actually incorrect.
The struggle of rebuilding and learning is real. It’s a lot of emotions to work through, and can get overwhelming at times. Your thoughts at the end is very helpful thank you.
If you sin while you are Christian you will inherite the kingdom of God .but if you live a pure and good life you will burn in the hell with demons and unbelievers.

Kristi I love listening to your podcasts! Thank you so much for opening up your mind to us despite the condemnations you might be receiving from all angles in this new life you seem to be pursuing. Much love and appreciation for the work you are doing!
Beside some of the things that are considered "sins" are pretty stupid to begin with. So yeah, I want to sin because the only one who is butt hurt about it, is God.
The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven). If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. (Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead)
@@YoursTrulyThe1Pony Jesus loves all people and wants to forgive your sins please don't reject Him today for tomorrow may never come Look ill share something personal. I’ve personally seen Jesus (Not worthy), Heaven and Hell. Hell is worse than what you think (I was shaking after that experience), and Heaven is better than what you think. I have also received a personal healing miracle, I can go into details if you want. This is how God works. If you give Him the benefit of the doubt, He gives you more and more. Would I spend even 2 minutes preaching if I had an ounce of doubt? (I’ve experienced way too much)
I have a friend who converted to Buddhism from fundamentalist Christianity.
His family and former church said that he left cause he didn't want to be held morally accountable.
Which is hilarious, considering that Buddhism is all about moral accountability lol. We had a good laugh about it.
Christianity is a religion that’s all about dodging accountability.
Yeah, as a Zoroastrian, I 100% agree.
And if the gawd of the Xians is real, then everyone will be held accountable regardless of their belief, so how does leaving that religion let you off the hook? The answer should be "It doesn't", so as usual the Xlings have no clue about the religion they claim to follow. Absolutely ridiculous.
Christian moral accountability: I fuck up, I apologize to gawd, all good.
Christians confuse morality with sin all the time. Sin is a joke to me. But living a moral life is important.
“You just want to sin” sounds to me like the utterance of a closed mind. Rather than ask questions to understand, they jump to a comfortable conclusion that allows them to avoid considering another view.
Absolutely!
It’s an example of what Dr. Robert Jay Lifton refers to in his book, _The Psychology of Totalism_ as being the principal of Dispensing of Existence.
It's called a thought-stopping technique. By dismissing your ideas with an easy quip, they can entirely avoid thinking about anything you tell them.
Hell Yeah!!! Bring it on - orgies galore!!
For me, it was such a closed-minded statement that I finally just said, “Yeah, you got me. I just wanted to sin because it’s so much more fun”. It’s not as if you can convince them, so why bother trying? They’re just going to believe it anyway, no matter what you tell them.
I was THE pious religious kid, so you can easily imagine how I heard the ‘You left Christianity to sin!’ (And still hear it) when I had to come out as gay. Despite my earnest pleading, God did not have any vested interest in making me straight ‘so that I could honor Him’. I went through years of misery and confusion and suicidal ideations, so ‘you just want to sin’ is uniquely reductive and insulting

In 1999, two boys entered their high school, point-blank executed their classmates, then took their own lives. Are they blissfully 'sleeping' now? Is there no consciousness after death? Is there no justice for these two boys who left a nation reeling with shock and grief? Is there no justice?
I am not the judge, but my best guess is that you, who have libeled God, will be in worse shape than these two boys on judgment day. They killed the body, but you are leading people to hell, in direct treason to God.
You cannot say that I did not warn you. Jesus said that hell is torment and it lasts forever. Yet, Jesus loves you. He died on a Cross so that you may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

Lucky for me, all my worst sins were as a Christian, and I've pretty much cleaned up my act as an atheist.
Yup. Me too! It's a good feeling! 🙂
Yes! All my most egregious moral decisions I made as a Christian! And why not? The Lord forgives all! Never mind all the people I hurt, whose forgiveness I really needed.
@@christophergibson7155 I disgree with your assessment here. Had Christians forgiven me, top of the list, my wife and pastors I'd put myself under their authority, I'd likely still be a Christian.
I needed their forgiveness and it was withheld, actually to point I nearly suicided.
Their unforgiveness (and frankly, dehumanizing hatred) is what lead me to question my faith and belief.
If the Christians I'd lived among for years, worshipped with, gone on ministry trips with, loved, and followed Christ with, had actually followed the basic things they claim they believe, I'd never had starting reading Dawkins.
Once I started down that path, it was all over, the fabric unraveled and I became an atheist.
These days I could care less if those old Christians forgive me, don't care, don't even want to know, and, yeah, my ex-wife, the perfect self-righteous Sunday school teacher who's poop didn't stink, you know, as she was perfect, well, my new girlfriend, an atheist, is infinity better to live with. So, yeah, in the end, their hatred was my salvation.
I believed, obviously, God had forgiven me...at the time, now, of course, I don't care. If God turns out to exist, I'll demand he/she/it/they apologize to me.
So, yeah, the guy's comment was good, he does understand forgiveness, it's something that we need in a community from other HUMANS...the only beings with minds that we're aware of in this universe (so far).
@@jimmythompson1979 And on top of that, when people have wronged me (i.e., "sinned against me"), I have always tried to be forgiving about the whole thing. I don't hold grudges against people. I basically tend to let things go and try to find the good things that resulted from the harm (did it make me a stronger person? Did it teach me a lesson?)
And my default position isn't to seek to brutally torture those who have "sinned" against me.
And I don't immediately expect some "payback."
...unlike the Christian god.
Yes you want to be your own god...But you are not the standard of goodness But God is perfection that's why He judges sin but he also provided a for us not to be punished, that doesn't mean sin goes unpunished but Jesus took upon himself the punishment he didn't deserve
I was raised as Roman Catholic, but had evangelical influences in my life, too. When puberty hit around 11/12 I discovered I’m gay. Never did anything at all awful as a child, and to hear it said I was a sinner, it’s evil, blah blah blah, the crimes enacted against LGBT people, really threw a light on so called God and religion and all the rest. By 15 I was an atheist. This was back in the 90s. After ~30 years of investigating Christianity and Judaism and Islam and all their derivative cults… archeology, *secular* and scholarly studies on the faith, the sciences, etc, it’s quite obvious it’s all one big myth. I pity most believers because they are brainwashed. However, I’m convinced many “church authorities” know it’s fiction, but still promote it. Bunch of grifters!

Religion is the equivalent of an MLM scam
TOTALLY agree!!! I'm so glad that Christianity is not a RELIGION, it's a Choice. To be a Christian is to be a "follower" of Christ. The first Believers were not even called "Christians", but followers of "the Way".
*John 14:6 (nkjv)* _6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me._
REFERENCES TO "THE WAY" IN THE BIBLE
Acts 9:2 (nkjv)
2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Acts 24:14 (nkjv)
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets.
All religions of "the world", esteem their own traditions over the Word of God.
Christianity is a CHOICE, "Who do you say that I am?", Jesus is asking. Our faith is not based on who others say Christ is, but Whom we Profess Him to be, according to His Word.
*Romans 10:9-10 (nkjv)*
_9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation._
We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. If a man (woman) says they have never done wrong/sinned they are a liar, and the truth (Jesus Christ) is not in them.
We fail as born-again believers to love unconditionally, with an unfailing, everlasting, perfect love because the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. We are not saved because of our performance (behavior) we are saved because of the blood and the finished work that Christ Jesus completed on the cross.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.:
I didn't abandon my pursuit of Christianity because the people who were the most religious were toxic to society. Sin is a fiction. Morality is a guideline, a social contruct, and I can live within that construct when it's not toxic and exclusionary. I want to live with free will, which includes my choice to be moral, responsible, kind, loving, a thinker, and a protector.
Aahaa! You left the church because you're a thinker! 😉
the religion likes to mix things up, like sin and crime... or marriage, marriage is a secular concept, they should rename the 'before god marriage' to something else...

I was raised in the "non-denominational" Christian church. To be fair, my pastors never stooped down to the whole angry God preaching, though I did run into a few baptists that did. Overall, most people I met in my church were welcoming and tolerant of different people and they tried to embody the loving side of God. I respect them for that.
I stopped believing in the Christian God after reading the Bible for the umpteenth time. The older I get and the more I think about the Bible, the more ridiculous it seems to me that it's the word of God. All the inconsistencies contained therein really turned me away.
Your video comes at an interesting time for me. I've just come to peace with my sexuality after years of suppressing it because the Bible says I should. I've had people in the church tell me that the only reason that I left was so that I could partake in "depravity". The truth is, I started living authentically because I don't believe in this BS. I didn't leave just so that I could sleep with 20 different people each weekend.
Even now, my life actually hasn't changed that much since leaving. I'm still gainfully employed. I still like to run, read, draw, and write in my free time. I'm not even making homoerotic or "edgy" art. And I'm certainly NOT sleeping with 20 people every weekend, though if other people want to, that's their choice.
Anyway, I really appreciate these videos, especially this one. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who had an issue with what the Bible classifies as sin.
LOL! 35 seconds in and you already killed their argument. Just awesome.😂
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363belief isn’t a choice, people are convinced or they are not, even if non believers followed the Bible it wouldn’t matter because the belief is required for salvation, which isn’t even a choice they make.
@@LinksQuest You are free to choose your actions but not free to choose the consequences. Somebody may choose to speed but the consequence of breaking the law is a fine. You can choose to live in sin and go to hell or repent and turn to Jesus and go to heaven. You decide how you will live your current life; God decides your afterlife.
Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3: 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
I've been an Atheist since I was about 7. I wasn't allowed to ask questions when I was sent to Sunday School. Nothing they were teaching, made sense. So, I asked questions, and was told NO ONE questioned the little black book. After about three weeks, I was sent to the pastor, and was told I could no longer come TO the SS class. When I asked why, he said I was a disruption, and now other kids were asking questions, so... When they were shoving "sin" down our throats, none of it made sense, and seemed rather mean. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this "sin" bulls**t, was just like all the rest of the nonsense, and was all made up by man, to control the masses. When I was kicked out, and the pastor called my folks, they asked why I was being such a brat! I (somehow), calmly told them, that I didn't believe in ANY of the stuff I was being taught. That I thought it was all made up BS, and I wanted nothing to do with it. Luckily, my folks, even though they were Southern Baptist, just agreed, that there was no use in sending me to this church, or any other, so... Thus began my lifelong journey into Atheism. Been content ever since.
If something is true, why would it need to be protected from too much questions. In my experience, people only shield an idea from too much questioning because they know it won't stand up to scrutiny.
I admire your level-headed attitude. Keep it up.
I am glad I never had this struggle, living in a largely secular society.
Go girl!
I agree fully with you, We deserve to be free from Religious manipulation, well said keep up the good work
My religious mother asked my sister when she was young, what are you going to say to God about all your sins? She replied, I'm going to tell him I didn't mean any of it. 😂

Good question: Should God judge wickedness?
In 1999, two boys walked onto their high school campus, point-blank executed their classmates, then took their own lives. Were they judged or rewarded for their crime? According to atheism, the boys, who hated people and hated life, made a great choice. They got their revenge and are now blissfully 'asleep,' unaware of the hurt and pain they caused. If atheism is true, then there is no justice. Ever read the bumper sticker, "No justice, no peace"? That is why it is impossible for an atheist to be at peace.
The damnable part is that there is no rest for the wicked in the afterlife. God is love and eternity without love is absolute, miserable hell. Yet, Jesus loves you. He died on a Cross so that we may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

If this world is not just, it doesn't follow from it that a god exists to make this world just.
Hey Kristi. I am now a new atheist and no longer a Christian. I have deconstructed fully after an eye-opening investigation and some self-reflection into my beliefs with my non-Christian parents. My Mom calls herself a Christian that only focuses on the virtuous parts of the Bible and nothing else, and I don’t blame her for that. I have found freedom in thinking for myself and being my true and connected to myself. I realize how indoctrinated and simple-minded I was. I’m free from that now and am more spiritually inclined without the idea of a God, and most certainly not the Christian God. I’ve just acknowledged that I do not know where I’ll end up after I die. I just want to be a good person and send a positive message or messages to everyone I encounter on a daily basis. No matter what, always keep pushing to do that, even when things don’t go as planned in life. Have a stoic mindset about it, and be open to critical thinking and flexibility which the Christians hate
Congrats! Welcome to a free, rich, happy life.
Good on you mate, So now .. As a 50 year old who has seen a lot in life.
I was once an ordained minister, I no longer am.
I left it way way before you did.
In my case, I gave my life to god, so much so that i gave up $50,000 went to uni, got a degree, All to get into the church
and.. it wasn't a total waste because you do learn a lot of shit while there and you do have access to resources and people that normal people would not have access to. the irony is, This level of access showed me the following
1. I'm not going to say , God doesn't exist, We don't know if he exists and that's the only truth on that topic.
This may be because he doesn't exist, it may be that he does BUT HE DOESN'T WANT US TO KNOW, in which case we are not doing anything wrong.
I'll expand on this later
2. But i was certainly not going to find god in the church
3. None of the ministers knew whether god existed or not, Most of there
because they were forced to be, some were there because they wanted to be
and others were just in a frame of mind that kept them there, sort of cruising along if you will
I learned the following
- Jesus did actually and historically live, There was a birth , There was him starting christianity , There was the crucifixion
that all happened
- There are no miracles,
You drill down further and more complex and later when you are old enough YOU FIND OUT HOW TO SIMPLIFY THIS SUBJECT and i'll show you how..
1. You Learn MOSES NEVER EXISTED.
Christians will defend this
BUT IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
HERE IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT
2. Did man receive god's laws ?
Well.....
Point 1 - Historically Moses (Whether existing or not) NEVER ENTERED THE HOUSE OF EGYPT, There is literally nothing to be found of him in the house of egypt, as an infant, a child, a teen or a man, that decree of Seti i ..... We have things on Seti, THAT DECREE WAS NEVER SET FORTH
so.. Moses didn't live in the house of egypt
as such
The slaves could not have been freed
As such
He didn't take them to the mountain
As such
He didn't climb the mountain
Nor pass the commandements to the people
MOSES IS CREDITED WITH WRITING THE FIRST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE
the bible every christian holds today (we won't say... is bullshit) we will say.... IS NOT GOD'S WORD
Because Moses never passed it onto man
MAN NEVER RECEIVED GOD'S WORD, THAT NEVER HAPPENED
Now... When you do your Uni course to be a minister we are actually taught this,
We are actually taught that the church created the original bible .
so now if a christian defends that
1. They can't because it's the decree of the Holy church,
They are wrong and their opinion is irrelevant on the subject of religion because the church makes the rules
2. But we need merely ask this question
IS THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD ?
and the answer is simple and so is the proof
Answer : No it's not
The Proof : Find the Source and ask them.
I've done this, it's interesting, You should try it
Get a bible, any bible,
Find the publisher (The company that literally BROUGHT THAT BOOK INTO EXISTENCE)
Call them and ask them these questions
1. is this your bible ?
2. is this bible LITERALLY the actual words of god ?
They will say NO (and there's your answer) but they will defend their point as follows
it's the INSPIRED WORD OF GOD
so you ask
3. OK, Where did you get your inspiration from ? was god literally there ? Did you get your inspiration from god himself or a person or other books.
THE ANSWER IS... We have derived inspiration from other bibles
so basically they have picked and chosen bits from here and there and everywhere...
4. Last Question....
OK, So once your original book was written , Other than Translation or the cover,
HAS IT EVER BEEN CHANGED ?
The answer is
YES IT HAS and we reserve the right to change it without notification
NOW HERE IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT....
1. We ABSOLUTELY KNOW The bible IS NOT God's word
(that's not even a question anymore)
it's more of a question, does the christian have the nut sack to make the phone call.
2. We know Jesus existed (No Miracles) but... he did exist
3. We don't know if god exists
BUT THERE'S MORE
4. AS A FACT.......
RELIGION IS A FILTHY , VILE AND DISGUSTING THING
Now let's explore, What if God does exist
WELL......
1. If he does and he doesn't want us to know because it's .. Let's say a test to get into heaven or some other reserved special space
then... Following religion and reading a word that is not his word IS GOING TO PISS HIM OFF, and get you excluded
2. You need to make a separation between
THE BIBLE
RELIGION
GOD
Being Fair..... We shouldn't tarnish the reputation of god (Should he exist) Because all that bullshit in the bible IS NOT WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAID.
so i wouldn't dismiss the idea of god
I wouldn't spend my life looking for him either.. I DID IT FOR A LITTLE OVER 20 YEARS.... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME, Life is precious
3. We shouldn't introduce children to religion and philosophy.
their brains are not developed enough until the age of 25 let's say, to comprhend it and make a choice, Religion before the age of 25 should be banned altogether
4. BASICALLY IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT YOU SAID....
LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A GOOD PERSON AND DO YOUR BEST
I reckon if there is a day of judgement (and i don't think there is) but IF....
A Lot of christians are gonna get a rude shock
because how do you explain to a supreme creator that you were following a word that was not his own when the world told you it wasn't his word
VS
Me and you and god asking, why did you do what you did?
and we're like...... well.... we did our best and tried to be as honest as possible
SO THERE YOU GO...
A Few things to think about.
Don't dismiss that there may be a god (i reckon there isn't) but don't dismiss,
at the end of the day, we'll find out when he die... Maybe
@@martinkuliza Long comment but well worth the read.
A key standout for me is the belief that IF there's a judgement day, it'll be highly unlikely and I might say foolish to be judged on the basis of not having followed "the right" religion, especially given the fact that there's so many to evaluate for authenticity and so little time in a human's life span to complete that task. It makes far more sense to judge people on their sincerity to finding the truth (whatever it may be) and how ethically they lived.
@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660
Well IF there is a judgement and IF there is a god
i'm certain that he has a method of judging considering our short stay on earth.
but one thing i know for certain......
What christians are doing is not going to please him,
There's no way it could
@@martinkuliza have you seen Reverse Christianity by darkmatter2525? It's a pretty interesting animation here on YT covering the topics you mentioned
You hit the nail right on the head with this one. Thanks for what you do.
Your comments tonight are spot on and demonstrate critical thinking of the highest order. Always presented in plain language with the utmost clarity.
People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.
I understand what you're saying about being "defensive," but I think there's another perspective. I find that people who accuse me of being defensive simply want to attack me (verbally, or whatever) without encountering any push-back. So when someone accuses me of being defensive, I say, "Yes. I am. Because if you attack me, I will defend myself. There's nothing wrong with defending one's point of view."

Psalm 7: 11 God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.
People underestimate hell, it is bad because it is separation from God. In a vision I was shown a person who claimed to be Christian but started fornication (premarital sex), He died relatively young and went to hell forever (1 Cor 6:9). God’s holiness means He will not coexist with sinners forever therefore Repent (Luke 13:3) and have a relationship with Jesus.
I'm an exMuslim and I can absolutely relate to this. They try to reduce our reasons down to simple things like "You want to sin" or "You didn't understand the religion" but I read the fundamental literature and saw the true character of their god and founder and realized I couldn't worship such a deity.
I never was a Christian. I was exposed to it as a youngster via parents taking me to church. As my reasoning skills developed, I shucked the religious stuff out the door. Science, rationality, critical thinking are my cup of tea
If to sin is to question whatever my intellect asks me to question, to defy whatever is logically injust, to break ancient rules that breaking causes no harm... Then yes, I left to sin.

I believe that my deconstruction began with my acceptance of myself and seeing God as a malevolent deity unworthy of my belief or worship.
Perfect. Thank you. The "I am holier than thou" mindset has been a part of religion since time immemorial. All the while these judgemental, morally superior believers are no better than the rest of us. All they have to do is say: "Whoopsies. Sorry Baby Jeebus. My bad. Please forgive me". Then they drive off without saying anything to the victims they leave in their wake. Isn't that lovely?
😂😂😂😂 Christians dislike us not because of "sin", they sin too. But because recognizing we deconstructed because of reading the Bible and applying reason, will break the jinx and they might question too.
It's easier to condemn us and say "we just want to sin" than address our questions because they don't have a coherent answer and never will.
Funny thing is, whenever an apologist tries to annoy me online, I just ask what denomination they are - for some reason they are too scared to disclose this.

Dude, you have such an authentic perspective. Close to mine. That’s exactly right. They have created there version of “sin”. And it’s NUTS
They? No, not really. The original sin concept is fourth century theology. It was, or course, as false back then as it is now, but the original sin concept is not some newish creation.
If I thought sin were a thing and I wanted to do it... why would I _stop_ being a member of the group where I could sin and just get forgiveness for it and everything is fine?
Good to note that "Sin" is a popular Chinese last name meaning "grandson." Gotta wonder if bs bible god understands Chinese.

Same here. I'm repeatedly told that I left Christianity because I want to live a "homosexual lifestyle" when in fact I didn't even come to terms with being gay until months after I deconverted. I deconverted after becoming aware of the many atrocious acts of God throughout the Bible as well as the numerous contradictions both internal and external.
How is God evil? Because he hates sin? Are there ever good consequences to sin? All sin has consequences whether stealing, lying, homosexuality, being drunk. Some consequences not as big as others. But there is hope! God can forgive you of all of our sins if we believe and put our faith and trust in Jesus, that he died on the cross for our sins.
@@chanty2652 There are just as many consequences, if not more, for heterosexuality. Someone could be accidentally impregnated for example.
God is evil for commanding evil things. When a person commits atrocities such as mass genocide, you tend to refer to them as evil-because they have done intentionally evil things. Surely you consider genocide to be an evil thing.
What evil things does God command, examples?
Spot on again Kristy. Your are an absolute amazing deconstructionist , the more I research Christianity the less it makes sense. The myth of someone taking the rap to eating his flesh is truly bizarre.
I didn't leave Christianity. I just never embraced it because even at age 5 it seemed like bullshit to me. NOthing has happened in the subsequent 38 years to make me change my mind. Reading about all the depravity in the bible only crystalized my non-belief in its "truths."

Negative 👎! To be honest, the concept of a god was ridiculous from the start, but I, like most children, followed the elders.
Good luck to you on overcoming your christ psychosis. 😶
Thank you Kristi for putting my exact thoughts in this video. It makes zero sense when Christians use the "you just want to sin" bit to manipulate/guilt/shame us all while, the salvation was a "safety net" if you will for sinning! Like literally they don't actually believe in accountability whatsoever! They blame everything on god or the devil. They think my "sin" is worse than theirs all because of their ability to repent. But, how is it "sin" when we don't believe in the bible therefore, we don't see "sin" the way they do and it's hard for them to wrap their minds around the fact that we just don't believe what they believe so it can't be used against us! If anything, I became a better person after I left Christianity! I'm more conscious of my behavior now than I did while being a Christian... I care about people, the planet, and animals... I'm more compassionate and willing to empathize than ever before! It's all just projection on their part and jealousy that we get to live in our truth while not being worried about the opinions of others meanwhile, their lives are scrutinized and analyzed under a microscope! Thank you for this timely video!!!
Only 1 person ever attempted to use the "you only want to sin" with me. I'm jewish, been an atheist for most of my life and the reason is basically I didn't believe, I wanted to believe in stuff like magic and miracles and stuff but can't. So, one person tried to use the "you only want to sin" thing with me and I honestly asked them what sinful things do I do? and the only thing they could even come close was that I don't follow the sabbath. That was it. They know I don't lie, I don't drink or do drugs or even go out to party. They just couldn't come up with anything at all and they just left it at that. I wish everyone else can have such an easy experience as I did. My parents are a bit disappointed that I lost faith, but they don't fault me on it. They say that it's my journey.
They don't follow the Sabbath, either. Less than a few million people on earth do; just a handful of Orthodox or Hassidic Jews. Christians don't and it's not because of the wrong day. They do things like drive and cook food on their Sabbath, which of course Orthodox Jews don't do. That would have been my response to the Sabbath accusation.
"Cussin', drinking, going to a party, listening to regular music, watching movies, exploring your sexual identity..." So, in one word... Living.
Basically to christians, living itself is a sin. In order to avoid sin, one should stop living, or turn into a vegetable, or something. Just ignore them, Kristie. And may i say, if you don't mind... if sinning makes you so intelligent and beautiful... Keep sinning! 😉
When being a human is a punishable offence, living your own life, the only life we know we get, is a defiant statement.
I had a friend tell me that I needed god/Jesus because this is the “most stressed” she has ever seen me. Mind you, I’ve seen her 7 times in the last year, we rarely talk about what’s going on in my life, and she had previously ghosted me for the last 4 years. The last time she REALLY “knew” me was when I was a devout Christian. She has a hard time accepting that isn’t my reality anymore… after saying this is the “most stressed” I’ve been (which it’s not, frankly 2020, when I lost my dad was my most stressed) she went on to say that this is the most FREE and confident she’s ever seen me. And THAT is 10000% the truth. My freedom and confidence to be exactly who I am skyrocketed when I left Christianity. I’m sure many of you could say the same!
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents, unbelief etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
You are so honest andwell thought out.
Leaving Christianity was easy for me. Just reading the Bible turned me into an atheist. I mean a TALKING SNAKE in the Garden of Eden???
Another great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about sinning. I was raised to believe that a sin was doing something that god did not approve. One of the benefits of being a non believer in god, to me, is that I can no longer sin. No god = no sin. Yes I still have morals. I don’t want to wind up in jail.
Quick preface: Secular Buddhist here, but grew up in a protestant primary school with strong links to the Church of England.
One thing I've always found weird is that they would say you can't be good without God. That since god is the source of all good, then doing good things, but not in the name of god, is actually a selfish thing, because we're being good for ourselves, and not for god or his children. This has never made sense to me, because being good in Christianity is based on fear. The fear of being sent to hell, whereas people who don't believe in hell and are still good anyway are good simply for the sake of itself. Being good out of fear of retribution completely devalues it as far as I'm concerned. People are good for themselves, but that's because being kind and caring for others, and doing things without expecting personal gain makes people feel good and is good for our mental health (hence why I want to be a psychologist, and perhaps a therapist). If you do selfless things simply because you're afraid of punishment for being selfish, and not for its own sake, that is in itself, selfish.
How does any Christian know they are in the one and ONLY correct denomination of the religion?? If they're not, they burn in Hell. I'm surprised that doesn't disturb them.
Let the church in my early teens, so deconstruction is not a problem for me. However, I work in a company that is verry conservative christian. Of course I am a target for needing saving - and I have frequent discussions and clashes with 'concerned christians'
Thank you for your channel. It helps me with my arguments and rebuttals!!
If doing the right thing by people, if calling genocide genocide, no matter who does it; if calling out rapist and racist, no matter who does it; if being kind and compassionate, and not needing the excuse of some God to do it is sinning; if being more like the picture of what we tell people, Christ is, the Christ, who left the synagogue, to be compassionate, and loving is sin, then I guess I am the biggest sinner of all. Thank Goddess!
Why would I have to leave Christianity to sin? According to the pastors I had over the years I was still sinning plenty, even after being “saved”.
The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven).
If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. (Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead)
Thanks!
Thanks for the support!
Sin away!!! My sins are seeking knowledge, flexing my curiosity, exercising empathy. Good on us not to enslave ourselves to an evil cosmic dictator.
In my personal experience, those who stress the fact that they're Christian, tend to be arrogant, disrespectful of other religions, deluded and behave in a manner that's very much NOT what they themselves say about the teachings of Christ.
Exactly none is perfect only christ is perfect. We should strive to be more like christ but we still inherit the flesh. But we are saved from christ that not from ourselves its all him who saves us.

You’re right when you said it comes from a place of ignorance and insecurity. Isn’t that how all the abrahamic religions were created? In my household we have a saying, don’t trust someone who’s put their trust in Jesus.
lol that might be a good rule to live by!
You talk about ignorance and insecurity, yet your household saying exemplifies both. If you honestly think a person being a believer in Christ automatically makes us less trustworthy than, let's say, an atheist you've got issues.
Another great video of yours ....thanks 🙂
Your mention of the varying definitions of sin among Christians reminds me of an incident that a senior citizen (a former Hindu turned atheist) told me about his siblings, mostly a fanatical fundamentalist Christian sister, a Catholic sister, and a Charismatic brother who is equally fanatical as the fundamentalist sister. When the moderate Catholic sister went to do line dancing, that triggered the Charismatic sister very badly and she tried to stop her from doing it, saying that it was 'satanic'. His brother blamed his atheism as the cause of their mother's dementia, and that brother tried conducting various FAILED exorcisms on their mother as well as their other brother who had cancer. After all the prayers and exorcisms, their mother and cancer-stricken brother are now dead and the mother even had pressing marks of someone's hand on her neck while alive to attest to the failed exorcisms which had turned quite physical with her reacting vehemently against it. Did that uncle's atheism cause their sickness? No. Did the fanatical brother and sister's faith as fundamentalists cause immense stress to the family members? Yes. I rest my case. Now, who's sinning against who?
Wouldn't it be easier to stay a Christian because all you have to say "sorry God" and all is well
I truly hope church attendance and belief in harmful superstitions continue to decline at an ever increasing pace. Eventually we will hit critical mass and humans will have a better chance to reach their potential. Your work is so important. Keep it up, Kristi!
Ha, excellent take. "You just want to sin!" / "If it's a sin not to believe in an unbelievable system, and to be good to people no matter what the Bible says about them, then yep."
Its a monster their god.
Long story but I left a fundamentalist controlling church group (cult) years ago called the International Churches of Christ in the Boston area. Was really fed up with all of it toward the end. And a woman member I was friends with messaged me several times. Told me she was disappointed I left the fold so to speak. She also tried to lay the whole leaving so I could sin line on me. Said she believed it was all due to sin in my life I didn't want to give up.
Admittedly, I trolled her a little for fun. Me being the guy into Heavy Metal and playing in bands. I told her I got seduced by the dark side and the church didn't accommodate my need for hosting blood rituals and having a work lab decked out with black potions and skulls. Just said ridiculous stuff to horrify her. Might have been kind of mean at the time but I thought it was funny.
Just to note: god’s “happiness” has historically been a moving target 🤣😂
“That’s what all the Christians do anyway, right?” Funnily enough, that was essentially the position of the Khlysts - the underground spiritual Christian sect linked to the bizarre mystic Rasputin. They openly embraced sinning on the grounds that without sin, there could be no repentance or redemption. At least they owned it, unlike most Christians who act righteously while not following any of Christ’s positive teachings.
Are you really living if the church isn't saying your lifestyle is sinful?
If giving up what you love to do (thinking, feeling, being HUMAN), pleases God or Jesus, then I seriously question Christianity's integrity. I write stories, plan to do art, and film. If that's a sin, then it is painfully obvious "Christians" have no clue what they are talking about.🙄😡👎
I left it also. A God who is so called "LOVE" and tells us to love but allows us to go through pure hell isnt a God i want to serve.
People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.
As an ex-Christian, I would say that American Christians have lost all credibility over the last eight years, and it is not as if they really had any before then. That is part of what spurred me to study and find a way out of what I know is a religion that really does not believe in justice unlessi ti of their own idealizations. It is strange that their whole thing is to tell people that they are a sinner and in need of salvation, and yet they are sinning themselves when they have created God in their own image, and then they don't even follow that God who they claim is Jesus. They only follow their own viewpoints. But they ignore as Jesus the man said, "the weightier issues of the law."
I “sinned” plenty when I was still Christian, so…
WORTHLESS and USELESS ATHEISM and RELIGIOUS FANATICISM
Atheists, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and fanatics of all kinds of Religions in the world
just have to face the TRUTH about themselves...
that they will never be glorified in their make-believe and fairy tale Heaven nor tortured for eternity in their invented and fictitious Hell but just become worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their natural deaths.
ETERNAL LIFE and EXISTENCE for WORSHIPPERS of the CREATOR and FOLLOWERS of JESUS CHRIST
All human beings have no immortal souls and will just become worthless and useless dusts on earth after their deaths just like the animals as written in Ecclesiastes 3: 19, 20 and 9: 5, 6
but
worshippers of the Creator and followers of Jesus Christ who died recently and thousands of years ago will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever, instead,
in the Creator's own right time and as written in John 11: 25, 26
all of them will be resurrected back to life by Jesus Christ so they can all have the Creator's favor and reward of ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death on a safe and peaceful earth without liars, deceivers, slanderers, traitors, and murderers as written in Revelation 21: 3. 4, 8.
Loving, kind, and respectful worshippers of the Creator like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's disciples and followers, and many others will definitely live and exist on earth forever as submissive and obedient subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD"
and fully enjoy the eternal love, kindness, goodness, compassions, generosities, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity under the loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ as the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth as written in Revelation 11: 15.
Sin, in the bible, is the sun's apparent declination below the equator (autumn equinox - spring equinox.
I definitely was sinning a lot while I was a Christian. I feel like I'm not sinning at all now that I don't identify as a Christian anymore. ☮
It's funny how that works. It was the same for me.
@@madeirafonseca6383Griftianity is licence to sin.
Before this video, I got an ad that asked me if I wanted to get closer to God 🤣🤣🤣
Bible says idolatry is sin. Polytheism is sin. Thats a direct attack on many religions. Total disregard for other cultures. And evangelism on top of that .
Christians: Jesus may forgive your "sins",....but I won't forgive your crimes
God has done worse things than you ever thought of. You’re awesome👊🏾💯🙏🏾
What has has done? why are you guys so angry at him if you don’t even believe he exist?
In the end, the person telling you you reject god because you just want to sin is pretending to read your mind, and this sort of claim can always be dismissed without justification.
Just like I cannot just say to a religious person he/she believes just because he/she was indoctrinated as a kid without a good chance of being actually incorrect.
The struggle of rebuilding and learning is real. It’s a lot of emotions to work through, and can get overwhelming at times.
Your thoughts at the end is very helpful thank you.
If you sin while you are Christian you will inherite the kingdom of God .but if you live a pure and good life you will burn in the hell with demons and unbelievers.

Beside some of the things that are considered "sins" are pretty stupid to begin with. So yeah, I want to sin because the only one who is butt hurt about it, is God.

Look ill share something personal. I’ve personally seen Jesus (Not worthy), Heaven and Hell. Hell is worse than what you think (I was shaking after that experience), and Heaven is better than what you think. I have also received a personal healing miracle, I can go into details if you want. This is how God works. If you give Him the benefit of the doubt, He gives you more and more. Would I spend even 2 minutes preaching if I had an ounce of doubt? (I’ve experienced way too much)
