PlutoIsMahBae :3 just because you have a friend who's atheist, doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to that person. Just pray for them to get God back into their life.
PlutoIsMahBae :3 I don't tell any of my friends for that reason, when they ask me what I am I just don't answer or change the subject or act like I didn't hear them😂
When Christians tell me I don't believe in God because I just want to sin, I tell them they don't believe in Allah because they just want to eat pork. They just love bacon.
osaro goya Yes, but apparently Jesus appeared to a disciple in a dream telling him it was actually okay. Either way, in general, Christians eat pork while Muslims don't.
Jesus-is LORD I was a Christian, then took the time to think it through and ask questions. I determined that the Christianity and the Bible had far too many inaccuracies, injustices, absurdities, and similarites to other religions to justify being a Christian.
As a Christian it pisses me off when a religious person forces their beliefs on others , I mean it's ok to say what you believe in but don't force people to believe what you believe And the same goes for atheism tho I'm cool with ya , just don't force your atheism on me and I won't force my faith on you
once a christian girl was talking to me about how god is real and how she felt it. As i started to debunk everything she said with logic, she told me "You can't feel god if you use logic."
lol Maybe all believers want to feel special in someway, of being watched and loved and protected. Thats why they believe so blindly. we athiests believe we ourselves are responsible for protecting ourselves, choosing whats right and wrong, and not refer a book to base our morality meter.
Some do, Ninjaswift Third grade education Understanding little Presuming things Intellectually challenged D.U.M.B. as FLlCK uneducated intellectually challenged delusional wannabe atheists that don't understand the Bible's parables, coincidentally also think that tectonic plate theory is real, they haven't got a bloody clue that our ancestors actually built the mountains. It's basically all of the brain-dead world wide curriculums that are producing pathetic pretentious prats, that become parrots repeating prattle.
I have been an atheist since I was 9 years old. I went to a Catholic school. During religion class a priest told us that a person who is evil their whole life, but asks for forgiveness just before he dies, will go to heaven and a person who has been good his whole life but told a lie just before he dies goes to hell. I guess I was a child prodigy. I am now 60 years old and still an atheist.
When I was young, I believed in Santa Clause. I also believed in God. Then I grew up and saw the evidence that pointed to Santa Clause not being real. Then I saw all the evidence that pointed to God not being real, it is as simply as that with most young atheists. We're not immoral or wanting to sin, we just value logic enough to realize that God isn't real. It's the same reason people don't truly believe unicorns exist even if there was an outdated book written on them. Atheists don't have a problem with Christians, it's just upsetting when Christians question us and then insult and offend us, stereotyping us for not believing in something they believe in. I don't insult you for believing in God, so please don't insult us for valuing logic.
I was around nine and I found out in the exact same way. And I was NINE! Nine year olds think EMOTIONALLY not LOGICALLY! I figured it out all by my self despite what I wanted to believe at the time. I'm so proud of my nine-year-old self! 😂
Well said, and i respect your decision for why you are an Atheist. However i wouldn't trust man's logic either. If you can't trust God, trusting man's logic just as bad or even worse. Better that you trust in nothing at all. Human beings will ALWAYS find some "logical" answer to defend their wrong doings and their beliefs whether true or not. The justice system these days is so broken. I can wake up today and believe that i should have a right to marry my cell phone and guess what. There are actually courts that would hear me out. Did you not hear of the man that almost won his case in court because he wanted to marry his Apple MacBook Pro? If you look around and read or watch the news, how much of it is actually good logical stuff? Most of it is evil and foolishness. Headlines just as an example, "Georgia man kills another over a cheeseburger." Evolution you say? Isn't that supposed to make us better? We have all of these advances in knowledge and science, supposed cures for cancer and AIDS, the ability to control our lights in our home using our voices. But with all of these great and magnificent things we still can't fix the broken society that we live in. I rest my case.
+Junior Shepherd Logic has allowed mankind to progress so much further in a positive way, religion has done nothing helpful for humans. And I don't mean the religious charities that help out people, I mean believing in a deity has done nothing positive for society.
That is true to some extent however I think one could say religion and believing in a deity has helped us as well to some extent. For some religion is a way of life or a path to follow. In a way when applied correctly it can help establish order and promote good values in society.unfortunately though religion has been terribly misused throughout history even in supposed biblical times. Jesus found many of the Jews to be hypocrites who treated others badly and glorified themselves. I think though that the real problem beings when people start focusing more on what the religion demands rather than who the religion is about and finding ways to help others fund true peace in their lives. Religious fanatics are no fun to be around either.
Sin is for guilty people. I think most Christians today have no idea how the religion became dominant in the first place. Briefly, it went like this, be a Christian or die. That's it.
Yeah, but that´s just a part of the history, because in the first place Christianism started spreading with secret meetings and stuff like that, and at that time it was all the way around (if you are a christian you die) that´s when the martirs appeared (especially in Rome, at the colosseum and others places, where it was officially recognised that there had been persecutions against christians there). But there had been Christians martirs several times in the history since then, and even now, christianism is the most (or one of the most) attacked religion in the world . In some parts of Africa and Middle East christians are disriminated and sometimes, although not so often, killed. But most of those news don´t get here.
When my mom found out I was an atheist and heard me listening to these kind of videos she said: your being brainwashed and Satan has found a way to grab your soul and I'm just like 😑
@@theprayinggirl1587 Just get off and find a hobby I'm angry at how uncivil and discriminative you are being how can we worship satan if we don't believe he exists?
No. Were better than this. We should debate her. Lets hear what she has to say, and then we provide our counter arguement. If we act like them and tell them to screw off for having a different opinion we wont get anywhere. So im gonna ask her to explain her reasoning
The sun doesn't move. Direction is relative. The moon orbits because of gravity from planets and the sun. Same with Earth. We just see it from different angles. It's just physics. That's how things work. So you can explain sunsets. Btw, I'm atheist.
i told my friend that i'm an atheist and she literally said the devil was in me and she would do her best to convert me back...yep. I appreciate the sencerity but its gunna be funny to watch her try...
Have fun with that! I'm currently watching that in my friend group. One christian doen't undertand why another is an athiest, so he calls it all bullshit.
Why does religion matter to us...people can think what they want about everything (as long as it's not harming anything in any way). I don't care if your are christian, atheist or anything, if ur nice, I'll say hi!
exactly so religion may not harm us directly but indirectly they harm people who actually need help. That is why people go on about religion because without it we could offer more help to people, just by having more money
I've heard variants of "you don't act like..." As a man. Such as: A real man would/wouldn't do that. That's a woman's job. That's not manly/effeminate.
@@Nilsy1975 That's even more disturbing than someone calling me non-religious. The things you said you hear sound like something a domestic abuser might potentially say.
@@starofjustice1 just ask any man who worked in any female dominated profession (e.g. primary school teacher, nurse, secretary, etc,) especially over 10 years ago and he will more than likely have had one of those said to him.
@@Nilsy1975 Oh, I've honestly heard the same things from a few people because I don't drink beer or watch football or go to the firing range on weekends for fun.
When ppl tell me that you cant disprove god, I like to tell them well god told me he wants you to give me 1,000.00 USD. Then I ask why they wont give me the money and ask if they can disprove that god told me to tell them that.
Well, Liono liony If you can create a joke about pigs flying over the white house, you could earn yourself a thousand dollars, $1,000:00 #usd #PlGScanFLY
The bible is great! My favorite part is when God gives everyone free will, but then drowns them because they didn't act the way he wanted! Haha! (Lololol)
well_okie_den :3 ooh and do you remember the part where they kill and rape over 500 atheist And the part where god killed thousands of Egyptians for something they never did
I'm not sure where this is from but its stuck with me for a long time: a religious man tells an atheist he "is like a blind man with a blindfold in a dark room looking for a black cat that doesn't exist" To which the Atheist replies "You and I are quite alike, we are both blind men looking for a black cat that doesn't exist, but you're telling me you've found it" Quick google search gave me this, (this guy words it better + its easier to understand) th-cam.com/video/GS3BZs5fx3Q/w-d-xo.html Its known as the black cat analogy.
I dont belive in god but my parents do and they drag me to church every weekend. They think that I belive in god and im thinking about coming out to them.
Omg my grandparents do that to me and I HATE it. I am no where near being a Christian and when my grandparents do that it gets on my nerves. My grandmother is the worst as everytime I tell her I am not Christian she won't believe me. My grandfather is cool because he is Christian but he thinks that going to Church is stupid and he hates it. He thinks it's a private thing. However, my grandmother drags us there anyways.
Anna Keutsch Christmas isn't actually a Christian holiday, and you can keep celebrating it even if you're not a Christian. We do, and no body in my family (except my grandparents) is a Christian.
Some Christians need to stop judging non Christians. I'm a Christian myself and I belief in religious freedom. I hate it when other Christians judge people based on their religion. People can live their life as a Christians, a Muslim, a Buddhist, and even an atheists whatever religion and people should not judge other religions; that's true religious freedom.
Sara Rose we all have different beliefs. you think everyone believes in god. if there wasn't a afterlife in the idea of religion. no one will believe in it.
THANK YOU. Is good to see not all christians judge people because of their religion. But to be honest... atheists can be jerks too. They constantly judge religious people even if they aren't doing anything wrong. And not only them, they also judge deists (like meh)
Jesus liken death to sleep. Did Dawkin know this before he said, "where do you go when you sleep". In an unconscious state, no where. Like sleep, you go no where. People can move you around bury you and you still are in a unconscious state, a permanent one. Some people go to sleep and never awaken to greet the next day. Death is sleep. Jesus raised Lazarus from this kind of sleep.
@@lanirita881 death is NOT sleep. During sleep you are unconscious, but your subconscious is still there. Your mind takes this time to absorb information you've gained throughout the day, you also enter different types of sleep (REM sleep). Death is when your heart stops beating, people have been 'resurrected' even after a few minutes. Of course medical equipment. When you die (after I think a few hours), your brain will die as well. Then you as a person are gone, with only your physical state in existence.
what if jesus was just smart as fuck and was way ahead of his time and pulled a david copperfeild so great he got people to believe he was all powerful for the next couple thousand years?
You are not far off actually. He was a charismatic leader who never thought he was the son of God until he the last 3 years of his life, when he began his work as an itinerant preacher. I have always thought it was funny how God in human form did not know he was God in human form when he was 17 or 20 or 23. How would he NOT know if he was all powerful and omniscient? The biggest thing from which Jesus benefited was living in a world where oral tradition was the primary way that information was conveyed. There was no cell phone video of him walking on water, healing a blind person, etc, so the people who followed him simply spread stories about him. Then, no one wrote and organized the Bible until many years after Jesus was dead, so no one could fact check it, go talk to him about it, or go ask him to repeat supernatural acts that were described in the Bible. Also, some of the depiction of Jesus in the Bible may have been influenced between his death and the writing and organization of the Bible. For example, there was a "god/man'/religious leader" around India hundreds of years before Jesus was born, who had a similar name to "Jesus" and who was said to have performed several of the same miracles that Jesus was claimed to have performed. Someone who helped put together part of the Bible 100 years after Jesus died may have heard about this figure in India, and that could have influenced what was written about Jesus. A minister once told me that Jesus may have actually learned some of what he preached from people who had brought Buddhist ideas back to Israel from the Orient. If one begins to take just the few possible influences that I am mentioning here, it is reasonable to imagine that Jesus may have been a real man with some good ideas and some borrowed ideas, whose acts were exaggerated during the retelling and processing of his life orally over many years before the Bible was actually recorded on paper and pulled together into one book in a finished form.
As a European atheist I wonder what my experiences would be like coming to the US. I think at first I'd find it rather amusing how religious people react and I'd enjoy trying to reason with them. After a while I can imagine it gets frustrating.
Els Verwilgen It gets very frustrating. You might want to not talk about it at all. I suggest you don't subject yourself to the torture of debating religion with people who use same old tactics, arguments, and insults. You are free to come to America if it would please you, but know I Warned you about the religious debates over here. Seriously it is as round about as the question of which came first the tree or the seed.
S O'Starra Ok, thanks for the heads up. That really is rather sad. I always hear the US being called the land of the free. Maybe that should be changed then to land of the narrow minded en ignorant. How do you deal with it then if you live there. I suppose you avoid talking about religion, but what if it affects everyday life and you say you don't agree. Does it always result in this fight that can't be resolved and that they win, because they form a majority?
Slowly their majority is getting smaller due to people becoming atheist or falling into different beliefs. And not all Americans are ignorant and narrow minded. I Do talk about religion but I try to keep it out of my daily life. I have found that it is annoying going in circles arguing with people over the same things. Why harp on one thing every time you meet someone who thinks differently. I do speak up if people are having their rights as human beings being taken away from them. Other then that I ignore the people who want to believe in "in my opinion a fictional character in a man made book" as long as they don't try to push their beliefs onto me.
And yes debates can be solved with different means then fighting verbally or physically depending on how heated the arguments get. I just don't know when people will realize that all people think differently and that if we can just live our own lives and not judge others based on what they believe but rather who they are as people then we the human race will become much more civil and happy.
so are you raising your children as atheists or are you going to leave that option up to them? This is the question I have been asking myself a lot lately. I undoubtedly don't want my kids growing up thinking that they're going to burn in a lake of fire underneath the earth for all eternity if they do something that a book tells them is "wrong" and I don't want them growing up thinking that they need to satisfy this man in the sky. also, how do you come out and say that you're an atheist without turning people off. I was talking to a schoolmate today and I asked her if she could ever date or be friends with someone who doesn't believe in God and she said "No, you need to at least believe in a higher being because look around us.." and i looked around and thought to myself "umm... science??????????".
I think it's especially hard (correct me if I'm wrong because this may be prevalent with other races too) being black because religion is so important in this community. We are the ones shunning black men that are "too feminine" and beating our kids if we find out they're gay... or telling the entire congregation (especially if you go to a mega church- I live in Chicago there are at least 2 churches on every block.) that you're gay and shunning you from the church, just stupid shit like that. I just fear that I will lose out on a lot of friendships and relationships due to my new-found atheism. I don't wanna broadcast my atheism (like Christians consistently do) but I think it can be important to share with the people that you have close relationships with.
Makaela Mahoney The true path of freedom is only obtained through being Atheist. If someone rejects you for your choice they were never going to be real friends.
Makaela Mahoney you realize that when a devoutly religious person refers to God, they refer to science, to mathematics, to the arts right? God, truly, is not just some dude who lives in the sky judging people. God is not meant to be a singular entity separate from anything, but rather the singularity of which we are all a part. This is why when a society begins the first thing they look for is common ideology amongst themselves that they can resonate with, and also why so many societies at their core are so similar even given a great deal of distance from one another and having no physical ability to communicate with one another. The ancients weren't some idiots who were just trying to explain why fire happens, they were attempting to discover the nature of reality through a lens of religion. Modern science is also a lens through which to look, but is handicapped by our human incapability of being able to comprehend the infinitum of everything while religion saw that some things will be a mystery because some things are also literally indefinable e.g. x/0 and many societies decided to companion their religion and their science so that they would be able to explain the world both physically and metaphysically, developing both at a stable pace where they would grow together.
I like your response. That's great and everything but while some things are a mystery, the same way that humans have evolved, so has science. Science has solved some of these "mysteries". Also while you are saying that religion is essentially the thing that is supposed to bring people together, while I recognize that that may have been the original intent, a vast majority of people who believe in a god hate people who believe in something different e.g. Christians and Muslims. I understand why people cling to religion especially from a sociological standpoint. Thank you for further explaining to me why people practice their religion.
I understand that a lot of people in THE WORLD are nice and accepting and those people I appreciate to the fullest. I get so happy when I find people that are like that but sadly, I live in America which is a primarily Christian country and a lot of Christians push their beliefs on other people... e.g Conservatives and gay marriage and/or abortion. My experience with Christians has nothing to do with the media, it's all from my own personal experience. I apologize for making generalizations about religious people because that isn't right to do. You're the first religious person that I have been able to have a conducive conversation with and that is willing to allow me to learn without judgement.
Sara Rose Let's see. I had a severe sinus infection, I went to my doctor and she prescribed an antibiotic and now I'm better. . . Yes it does me a lot of good
Don't you just love it when Christians say: "Have you prayed about it? Maybe you should pray about it, what will you loose from praying about it?" Like no. Not praying because then I'm just talking to a wall. Not praying because I don't believe in God. Not praying because there is no 'God' up there who will give me an answer.
Sara Rose it's better to have a flying sky daddy that tells you "it's okay, don't try to deal with your problems yourself, just ask me!". It's not better to have God in your life because he doesn't exist
omg my aunt was arguing with me and said something about the big bang like, "That does't make sense! You can't create something from nothing!" and I said, "That's not really what happened. You don't understand it at all. I can go look it up and give you a full explanation." and she said, "No! That's all bullshit!" ???? Christians arguing against science really actually don't bother to look anything up.
In school I went to this bible expedition thingy and they tried to demonstrate that the Big Bang theory was false by having a fan blow 3D jigsaw pieces onto a sphere. They forgot a few things such as a source of gravity in the middle of the sphere. I hate everyone that worked there.
Stuart Riddle Yeah, and baryons (matter particles) and anti-baryons (antimatter particles) and the ratio of both constantly changing due to the heat during the big bang (and then reaching a stable number that never changes with more matter than antimatter after everything cooled down) . Have you ever watched "Jesus Camp"? The fucking anti-science movie they show their kids is repulsive. Fucking brainwashing
***** I said, "Christians arguing against science" so not all Christians "really don't bother to look anything up" so not stupid, just willfully ignorant (which I personally think it's stupid to be, but it's not synonymous with stupid). Maybe I shouldn't have generalized, but in my experience, Christians who want to prove God with "you can't explain this" have no interest in hearing the actual explanation.
It goes both ways. Religious people don't feel the need to look up science because the general idea they hear from concepts sound ridiciloud to them. And atheist people don't even bother to try and understand the bible because it also sounds ridiculoud to them.
Me to my sister in law: “you do know that yahweh was the Canaanite God of war long before he had anything to do with the abrahamic religions right?” Sister in law: “I dont worship yahweh, i worship God.” And that is christians in a nutshell. They like to act like they are enlightened saintly do gooders who live according to the bible, but in reality they are so unfamiliar with their holy doctrines that they dont even know their own gods name.
@@allisoncastro3287 that’s true, but to not even know the name of the deity you are devoting your life to? That’s a pretty major and significant detail.
Actually, within Judaism ✡️, God doesn’t have a name. Christians use YHWH or J@hovah OT some such. Jesus used Father consistently. God Almighty comes up without them using the actual Hebrew term which seems to puzzle them and hey I’m not going use it because I don’t want to make them dizzy. Allah is not a name, it’s a descriptive. . Point is, God doesn’t have a name in Abrahamic faiths but I seriously don’t think Christians know this. Why? Because they never say God has no name and why. Greek Stoics used Apeiron in the place of a name. It means the Boundless. Infinite or Eternal Beings we don’t fully understand and who exist on levels we can’t perceive is the given response to the name question. PS El was the name Semites used at one time. Eventually, they decided it was a descriptive. But we cannot be totally sure because they didn’t write much more than El and made statues. If you look at Ugarit, Ba’al replaced El with no real explanation. One story as it that Ba’al killed El but it wasn’t repeated and they went back or never left making statues. Once they could write, they went with Ba’al hero epics. So we don’t know El’s exact status but they continued with the occasional statue. I have seen comment out of Ugarit that says El went out into the cosmos but haven’t seen what text the archaeologists are referring to yet.
i work with a very religious person at work, and he went on and on about christianity and i didnt want to tell him im atheist because i knew it would change the way he thinks about me. one day i couldnt handle the nonsensical rambling and told him im atheist and i explained to him that its not a choice i made i just cant believe any religious with all my heart. he got really upset and did the usual christian questions, and to each one i replied with answers. hes still mad at me and dislikes me so today i started drawing demonic symbols everywhere and was jamming eyehategod and bongripper and other heavy metal, lol. hes pushing his religion down my throat, so why cant i?
I'm not atheist or Christian but I find surprising that I can relate to what he said, and surprisingly, I agree and had a good laugh about the occasional jokes. And thanks for what you did; it was hilarious.
Ha ha ha. Good one. By the way, your uncle's God is pretty damn sick to be directing millions of adults to rape children every day. And when God directs serial killers to rape, torture, dismember, and eat children, women, and men, that is some pretty depraved behavior from God.
Becoming an atheist from a younger age, I've had all of these sad to me. I remember one time some older woman at the store said something similar to atheists can't do good things. After she started walking away, the bottom of her cart broke and I ran over right away and helped her. After the bags were picked up she said, "Oh God bless you, young man." Can you guess what I said? "Sorry ma'am, I'm an atheist." The look on her face was PRICELESS.
I'm sorry Ma'am. It's people who do the work called blessings while you'll give god the credit. God doesn't bless me. People do. I'd rather have two good hands which do hood things than 1,000 clasped inactively in prayer. Give a truck to a disaster to fill with good to a group of atheists to fill and another to a group of Christians to pray over. Which one shows up at the disaster sight filled with useful items? I'd rather have an education guiding the surgeon's hands than a 2,000 yo ghost of a wandering preacher.
When I was in eighth grade was about the time I was becoming agnostic. I was sitting at my lunch table and took a survey to see how many of my friends believed in evolution. Out of the 11 other people sitting there, 3 people completely believed, 1 person was unsure, and 7 did not believe. Their argument was that it was impossible to evolve from plastic into monkeys into humans. I left the table the next day.
Mountains are formed from the movement of tectinic plates. When the plate boundaries clash as a result of convection currents, they slope upwards, altering the earth's crust, creating mountain ranges.
+Things Matter Change The elders don't appreciate preaching on the Internet. You mean well, but these people have put a lot of thought into this and the website won't change their minds.
magicians used clear plectsy glass tables and the people in the audience pretended not to know about it plus the lake was deep and glass wasn't made back then yet so no he actually walked on water
I put absolutely no thought into my atheism. Religious people have a difficult time with me because of this. You can't say its a phase, because I have never, ever been religious. I didnt put thought into it because, agian, I didn't even think religions were real things until I was like 10 years old - I assumed christianity and the like were talked about as something that happened, like ancient egyptian religion, but no longer was. The idea of religion, of spirituality even, is completely alien to me. I can give you the dictionary definition of it, but nothing more. It makes no sense to me. Religious folks never want to talk to me after finding this out :(
True story, when I was young and found out Santa wasn't real I just assumed that meant everything ( the easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc. ) wasn't real including god. It wasn't until later I found out adults believed in God and was a separate thing. Obviously my parents were non religious. It was never discusses though, I was allowed to make up my own mind and the answer that always made the most sense to me was science. I think the fact that region relies on faith and not asking too any questions should really be a red flag to it's credibility.
etherraichu For me atheism began in a similar way. I was exposed to religion as a child but when we were being read bible stories I just thought they were telling us fairy tales. I was about 10-12 when I realized people actually believed in all of it. As I got older I started thinking about it and realized it made absolutely no sense.
#3: actually, when I'm suffering I DO call out to God: "God Fucking Dammit!" "Oh Holy Fucking Damn!" "Oh God OH GOD OH GOD FUCKING SHIT DAMN SON OF A BITCH GOD SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT!!!!!" "Ow God damn son of a bitch I think that's going to leave a scar oh Goooooooooooooood" "God dammit that's going to leave a huge ass stain" "Oh God dammit, I'm screwed, I am officially up God DAMN SHIT CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE OR A BOAT; I AM UP TO MY NECK IN SHIT RIGHT NOW OH GOD DAMN!" ...just not in the way Christians want me to
This is the first video that I've seen by you. As a Christian, (I know this is what a lot of dumb people start with, but read the rest) I really enjoyed this video. Frankly, a lot of Christians are ignorant and annoying, and I feel like they give us a bad name. I agree with all of your statements and would like you to know that I really appreciate your lack of bias.There aren't many atheist TH-camrs who talk about religion without a bias. Subscribed :P
I went to a religion discussion at my college and ended up being the only Atheist there and let everyone know that. And the person leading the discussion said that God is working through Atheists too. I had a really hard time not rolling my eyes.
My deepest condolences. I think a lot of us understand what it's like to have to stand witness to asinine garbage like that, all the while not being able really say or effectively do anything. It gets annoying, but I think there's a brighter future around the corner, all things considered.
Nope, if it were a discussion about one religion I wouldn't have gone. But it was a discussion on religion which is a broad topic. And could even touch on Atheism.
Lol, I may be an Atheist but I like to have conversation and discussions. The only thing I don't really like is when I am placed in,"Gods plan." The way I wrote my first comment does sound like I am trying to stir the pot though. haha
as an atheist : don't point your kids in 1 direction as it may influence them and they may not follow their own points for example in my philosophy lessons some of the religious say their religious because their parents are so they aren't really thinking for their self
I think God consciousness is INHERANT. Otherwise humans would have never came up with religion in the first place and why it's found among even the most primitive and isolated of peoples.
I usually ask if they're being facetious or if they're authentically stupid. They usually don't answer because when they actually think about it, they realize how foolish it sounds. *If* they think about it, that is.
scartissue454 Its just anyone in general. I don't even bring up my views on religion, because the second I do, people instantly get hostile toward me; and start asking dumb questions. Such as the one I mentioned above.
Really fond of being told by Chistians that my soul needs saving. I have to tell them my soul isn't for sale to the highest bidder (that meaning any church or person), I am in charge of my own destiny.
"You just want to sin!" Actually, if I specifically wanted to sin, I'd become a Catholic. Why? Because according to Catholicism's own teachings, I can commit any sin, go to confession, confess those sins, do the penance, and voila, my soul is as clean as fresh snow. Therefore, sin without consequence. Also, being religious does not mean you are free of sin. If it did, then there'd be no such thing as confession, and even prayer would be pointless. By the same token, lack of religion does not necessarily make a person bad.
I think atheist are atheists because the fact that there is no god is the only other explanation for the fact that there is a universe, these people also see it is silly, that is also true (what you said)
I'm familiar with the doctrine. The problem is, I don't really believe that everyone who goes to confession is truly sorry for their sins. If they were truly sorry, they'd make an effort to atone for their actions outside the church before asking God's forgiveness. I'd think more highly of the person who regretted stealing hundreds or thousands of dollars and returned the stolen money than I would if he simply waltzed into a confessional and did a handful of Hail Mary prayers. Morality is not a product of religion. Religion is not a product of morality. Each *CAN* exist independently of the other. And that concept is what seems to give the religious types grief.
xaenon the bible says "that who ever BELIEVES will not parish but have everlasting life" like the man on the cross next to Jesus who believed in him and said "remember me " he sinned all his life and still made it.
way of life you were brainwashed into. Im okay with people believing in a higher being. But believing everything in the bible is just sad , there's so many supernatural things that were proven impossible.

hey I am 11 right now but I have not revealed my true identity of being an atheist to anyone except my mom and she is Indian and she says that faith does exist and I will just understand it later in life. I have not told anyone else in my family because they are strong Hindus except my father.
@@gurzeenatkhanna446 I am an Indian too belonging to a Muslim family. It's fine that you are an atheist, you don't need to speak to anyone about it. If you're just at 11 now, you're too young. There are so many unexplored thoughts, logics to support you, knowledge and experience are awaiting you. You don't need to express those thoughts/knowledge to anyone nor should you argue because you can't get them convinced as they(theists) too must be having their own family and believing whatever their parents have told them since their childhood. They are believing in God for such a long time, it's almost impossible to convince them. It's better to ignore these arguments as it may affect the friendship or any relation.
Ang3rF1st I can understand that. Just think of it this way: It's just a figure of speech. People do it all the time. No one truly calls upon Godly Feces when they say "Holy shit", for example. I'd hope not, at least....
In school there is this class call earth science. in this class they teach you where mountains come from. Christians shouldn't have to google it if they paid attention in class. I think we pick on Christians because they are the most outspoken religion. They are always trying to turn people into their religion, knocking on doors giving the "word of god" or whatever in the streets. Jewish and Muslim and whatever other religion out there they don't do that. And that is why I think atheists pick on Christians the most. I might be wrong.

Carlos gamer why would it hurt you if your family believes in a god? If atheism is true nothing happens when we die. We are just dead. So if it gives people comfort to believe what you call a "lie" why not let them?
@@EightThreeEight well God isn't just a dude up in the clouds, you cannot expect to simply find a physical proof of something that is greater that the whole fowkin universe. Faith isn't something you buy at the store. You have to have a relationship with it. Or looking for one if you're missing it.
A question a Christian once asked me was, "If you're an atheist, why do you celebrate Christmas?" I celebrate Christmas because of the feeling and festivity it brings. Not because of Jesus.
***** Especially christmas is often taken as THE christian holiday, but in reality, they just took a few pagan rituals, mixed them up, put Jesus in it and practiced it on a pagan holiday which they dated Jesus' birth. Except for Jesus supposed birth there is nothing Christian about it. Not the giving presents to each other (that was done even before Jesus was born), not the Christmas tree (which is a pagan fertility symbol to hope for much food in the next year), nothing. Same with easter. So the question should rather be "Why do you celebrate Christmas when you're a Christian?"
***** Yeah, we have Jesus and all that here, but many people don't even know why. Many go only to church then and no other day in the year and most don't care about the religious part. It's more about presents and being together.
"Just an phase", hmm I was raised extremely strict Roman Catholic, stopped believing in God 22 years ago, after I asked the priest an few questions he couldn't answer , I'll let you know when "my phase" is over.
Well I don't really know why some people think priests are supposed to know everything. They're still humans. And it isn't just a phase. I guess you could call almost anything a phase if you wanted to but..wtw but faith is a very complicated thing. Humans are complicated. The world, life is.
Y'know what the worst part is? If you study Egyptian religions, Christianity has Egypt written ALL over it. There is only one difference, and that is their understanding of God. Basically, Christianity came out of Egyptian culture, and then discredited them.
I take it from that that you know more about the subject than I do(1st semester in university, History as 2nd subject). I heard once that the story about Jesus' resurrection came from Osiris? I don't know the exact parallels anymore, if you would be so kind to explain it, that'd be awesome. :)
Atheist: I don't believe in God, I'm an atheist. Christian: so, you believe in evolution A: Yup C: But, hey, it's just a theory A: A GAME THEORY! C: Thanks for watching! please, tell me i'm not the only one...
As an Atheist, I celebrate Christmas. Not because I believe in it, I celebrate it just because I can, as it is the main holiday in my country. Heck, if I wanted to, I would celebrate Hanukkah without having to be Jewish.
Thank you! I feel the same way, as much as it is a Christian holiday, Christmas has been warped so much that it's much more social holiday than a religious one. When looking at how much I love the holiday season, it has nothing to do with some religious event, it has to do with the lights, the cheer, the music, sounds and movies. The family events, the decorations, the trees! Christmas morning, presents, a fancy dinner, and school break. It's truly just not a holiday about religion.
It wasn't a christian holiday in the first place, it was several different holidays belonging to the romans, greeks, druids, other pagans, jewish, and etc.
At some point Christmas was about that, but how many stories are about the 100% commercial side of Christmas anymore? Honestly though, Christmas is a Frankenstein's monster of a holiday, borrowing it's tradions and stories from dozens of other festivals, holidays, and religions.
the official statistics in sweden is that most of us are written in church as a tradition, but we only go to church twice per year (for things like baptisment and weddings, funerals)
www.gavinsblog.com/2005/09/20/2364/ here are some statistics. Now take into concideration that 10% of our population is people that have fled here from religious countries

I have been an atheist since I was 9 years old. I went to a Catholic school. During religion class a priest told us that a person who is evil their whole life, but asks for forgiveness just before he dies, will go to heaven and a person who has been good his whole life but told a lie just before he dies goes to hell. I guess I was a child prodigy. I am now 60 years old and still an atheist.

When I was young, I believed in Santa Clause. I also believed in God. Then I grew up and saw the evidence that pointed to Santa Clause not being real. Then I saw all the evidence that pointed to God not being real, it is as simply as that with most young atheists. We're not immoral or wanting to sin, we just value logic enough to realize that God isn't real. It's the same reason people don't truly believe unicorns exist even if there was an outdated book written on them. Atheists don't have a problem with Christians, it's just upsetting when Christians question us and then insult and offend us, stereotyping us for not believing in something they believe in. I don't insult you for believing in God, so please don't insult us for valuing logic.
I was around nine and I found out in the exact same way. And I was NINE! Nine year olds think EMOTIONALLY not LOGICALLY! I figured it out all by my self despite what I wanted to believe at the time. I'm so proud of my nine-year-old self! 😂
Well said, and i respect your decision for why you are an Atheist. However i wouldn't trust man's logic either. If you can't trust God, trusting man's logic just as bad or even worse. Better that you trust in nothing at all. Human beings will ALWAYS find some "logical" answer to defend their wrong doings and their beliefs whether true or not. The justice system these days is so broken. I can wake up today and believe that i should have a right to marry my cell phone and guess what. There are actually courts that would hear me out. Did you not hear of the man that almost won his case in court because he wanted to marry his Apple MacBook Pro? If you look around and read or watch the news, how much of it is actually good logical stuff? Most of it is evil and foolishness. Headlines just as an example, "Georgia man kills another over a cheeseburger." Evolution you say? Isn't that supposed to make us better? We have all of these advances in knowledge and science, supposed cures for cancer and AIDS, the ability to control our lights in our home using our voices. But with all of these great and magnificent things we still can't fix the broken society that we live in. I rest my case.
+Junior Shepherd Logic has allowed mankind to progress so much further in a positive way, religion has done nothing helpful for humans. And I don't mean the religious charities that help out people, I mean believing in a deity has done nothing positive for society.
That is true to some extent however I think one could say religion and believing in a deity has helped us as well to some extent. For some religion is a way of life or a path to follow. In a way when applied correctly it can help establish order and promote good values in society.unfortunately though religion has been terribly misused throughout history even in supposed biblical times. Jesus found many of the Jews to be hypocrites who treated others badly and glorified themselves. I think though that the real problem beings when people start focusing more on what the religion demands rather than who the religion is about and finding ways to help others fund true peace in their lives. Religious fanatics are no fun to be around either.

Sin is for guilty people. I think most Christians today have no idea how the religion became dominant in the first place. Briefly, it went like this, be a Christian or die. That's it.
Pretty much.
Yeah, but that´s just a part of the history, because in the first place Christianism started spreading with secret meetings and stuff like that, and at that time it was all the way around (if you are a christian you die) that´s when the martirs appeared (especially in Rome, at the colosseum and others places, where it was officially recognised that there had been persecutions against christians there). But there had been Christians martirs several times in the history since then, and even now, christianism is the most (or one of the most) attacked religion in the world . In some parts of Africa and Middle East christians are disriminated and sometimes, although not so often, killed. But most of those news don´t get here.

Anna Keutsch Christmas isn't actually a Christian holiday, and you can keep celebrating it even if you're not a Christian. We do, and no body in my family (except my grandparents) is a Christian.
Anna Keutsch Yes, because it celebrates the Winter Solstice, not the birth of Jesus.
Anna Keutsch It was also a Pagan holiday. But Christians came over and took it to convert more Pagans.
Some Christians need to stop judging non Christians. I'm a Christian myself and I belief in religious freedom. I hate it when other Christians judge people based on their religion.

"Where will I go when I die?" - A great reply by Richard Dawkins is "Where do you go when you sleep?"
Jesus liken death to sleep. Did Dawkin know this before he said, "where do you go when you sleep". In an unconscious state, no where. Like sleep, you go no where. People can move you around bury you and you still are in a unconscious state, a permanent one.
Some people go to sleep and never awaken to greet the next day. Death is sleep. Jesus raised Lazarus from this kind of sleep.
@@lanirita881 death is NOT sleep. During sleep you are unconscious, but your subconscious is still there. Your mind takes this time to absorb information you've gained throughout the day, you also enter different types of sleep (REM sleep). Death is when your heart stops beating, people have been 'resurrected' even after a few minutes. Of course medical equipment. When you die (after I think a few hours), your brain will die as well. Then you as a person are gone, with only your physical state in existence.

He was a charismatic leader who never thought he was the son of God until he the last 3 years of his life, when he began his work as an itinerant preacher. I have always thought it was funny how God in human form did not know he was God in human form when he was 17 or 20 or 23. How would he NOT know if he was all powerful and omniscient?
The biggest thing from which Jesus benefited was living in a world where oral tradition was the primary way that information was conveyed. There was no cell phone video of him walking on water, healing a blind person, etc, so the people who followed him simply spread stories about him. Then, no one wrote and organized the Bible until many years after Jesus was dead, so no one could fact check it, go talk to him about it, or go ask him to repeat supernatural acts that were described in the Bible.
Also, some of the depiction of Jesus in the Bible may have been influenced between his death and the writing and organization of the Bible. For example, there was a "god/man'/religious leader" around India hundreds of years before Jesus was born, who had a similar name to "Jesus" and who was said to have performed several of the same miracles that Jesus was claimed to have performed. Someone who helped put together part of the Bible 100 years after Jesus died may have heard about this figure in India, and that could have influenced what was written about Jesus. A minister once told me that Jesus may have actually learned some of what he preached from people who had brought Buddhist ideas back to Israel from the Orient. If one begins to take just the few possible influences that I am mentioning here, it is reasonable to imagine that Jesus may have been a real man with some good ideas and some borrowed ideas, whose acts were exaggerated during the retelling and processing of his life orally over many years before the Bible was actually recorded on paper and pulled together into one book in a finished form.

As a European atheist I wonder what my experiences would be like coming to the US. I think at first I'd find it rather amusing how religious people react and I'd enjoy trying to reason with them. After a while I can imagine it gets frustrating.
Els Verwilgen It gets very frustrating. You might want to not talk about it at all. I suggest you don't subject yourself to the torture of debating religion with people who use same old tactics, arguments, and insults. You are free to come to America if it would please you, but know I Warned you about the religious debates over here. Seriously it is as round about as the question of which came first the tree or the seed.
S O'Starra Ok, thanks for the heads up. That really is rather sad. I always hear the US being called the land of the free. Maybe that should be changed then to land of the narrow minded en ignorant.
How do you deal with it then if you live there. I suppose you avoid talking about religion, but what if it affects everyday life and you say you don't agree. Does it always result in this fight that can't be resolved and that they win, because they form a majority?
Slowly their majority is getting smaller due to people becoming atheist or falling into different beliefs. And not all Americans are ignorant and narrow minded. I Do talk about religion but I try to keep it out of my daily life. I have found that it is annoying going in circles arguing with people over the same things. Why harp on one thing every time you meet someone who thinks differently. I do speak up if people are having their rights as human beings being taken away from them. Other then that I ignore the people who want to believe in "in my opinion a fictional character in a man made book" as long as they don't try to push their beliefs onto me.
S O'Starra Beautiful position that you are taking. Thank you for the reply!
And yes debates can be solved with different means then fighting verbally or physically depending on how heated the arguments get. I just don't know when people will realize that all people think differently and that if we can just live our own lives and not judge others based on what they believe but rather who they are as people then we the human race will become much more civil and happy.
so are you raising your children as atheists or are you going to leave that option up to them? This is the question I have been asking myself a lot lately. I undoubtedly don't want my kids growing up thinking that they're going to burn in a lake of fire underneath the earth for all eternity if they do something that a book tells them is "wrong" and I don't want them growing up thinking that they need to satisfy this man in the sky.
also, how do you come out and say that you're an atheist without turning people off. I was talking to a schoolmate today and I asked her if she could ever date or be friends with someone who doesn't believe in God and she said "No, you need to at least believe in a higher being because look around us.." and i looked around and thought to myself "umm... science??????????".
I think it's especially hard (correct me if I'm wrong because this may be prevalent with other races too) being black because religion is so important in this community. We are the ones shunning black men that are "too feminine" and beating our kids if we find out they're gay... or telling the entire congregation (especially if you go to a mega church- I live in Chicago there are at least 2 churches on every block.) that you're gay and shunning you from the church, just stupid shit like that.
I just fear that I will lose out on a lot of friendships and relationships due to my new-found atheism. I don't wanna broadcast my atheism (like Christians consistently do) but I think it can be important to share with the people that you have close relationships with.
Makaela Mahoney The true path of freedom is only obtained through being Atheist. If someone rejects you for your choice they were never going to be real friends.
Makaela Mahoney you realize that when a devoutly religious person refers to God, they refer to science, to mathematics, to the arts right? God, truly, is not just some dude who lives in the sky judging people. God is not meant to be a singular entity separate from anything, but rather the singularity of which we are all a part. This is why when a society begins the first thing they look for is common ideology amongst themselves that they can resonate with, and also why so many societies at their core are so similar even given a great deal of distance from one another and having no physical ability to communicate with one another. The ancients weren't some idiots who were just trying to explain why fire happens, they were attempting to discover the nature of reality through a lens of religion. Modern science is also a lens through which to look, but is handicapped by our human incapability of being able to comprehend the infinitum of everything while religion saw that some things will be a mystery because some things are also literally indefinable e.g. x/0 and many societies decided to companion their religion and their science so that they would be able to explain the world both physically and metaphysically, developing both at a stable pace where they would grow together.
I like your response. That's great and everything but while some things are a mystery, the same way that humans have evolved, so has science. Science has solved some of these "mysteries".
Also while you are saying that religion is essentially the thing that is supposed to bring people together, while I recognize that that may have been the original intent, a vast majority of people who believe in a god hate people who believe in something different e.g. Christians and Muslims.
I understand why people cling to religion especially from a sociological standpoint. Thank you for further explaining to me why people practice their religion.
I understand that a lot of people in THE WORLD are nice and accepting and those people I appreciate to the fullest. I get so happy when I find people that are like that but sadly, I live in America which is a primarily Christian country and a lot of Christians push their beliefs on other people... e.g Conservatives and gay marriage and/or abortion.
My experience with Christians has nothing to do with the media, it's all from my own personal experience. I apologize for making generalizations about religious people because that isn't right to do. You're the first religious person that I have been able to have a conducive conversation with and that is willing to allow me to learn without judgement.

omg my aunt was arguing with me and said something about the big bang like, "That does't make sense! You can't create something from nothing!" and I said, "That's not really what happened. You don't understand it at all. I can go look it up and give you a full explanation." and she said, "No! That's all bullshit!" ???? Christians arguing against science really actually don't bother to look anything up.
In school I went to this bible expedition thingy and they tried to demonstrate that the Big Bang theory was false by having a fan blow 3D jigsaw pieces onto a sphere. They forgot a few things such as a source of gravity in the middle of the sphere. I hate everyone that worked there.
Stuart Riddle Yeah, and baryons (matter particles) and anti-baryons (antimatter particles) and the ratio of both constantly changing due to the heat during the big bang (and then reaching a stable number that never changes with more matter than antimatter after everything cooled down) . Have you ever watched "Jesus Camp"? The fucking anti-science movie they show their kids is repulsive. Fucking brainwashing
***** I said, "Christians arguing against science" so not all Christians "really don't bother to look anything up" so not stupid, just willfully ignorant (which I personally think it's stupid to be, but it's not synonymous with stupid). Maybe I shouldn't have generalized, but in my experience, Christians who want to prove God with "you can't explain this" have no interest in hearing the actual explanation.
Kaylie vaden And a magical invision man in the sky makes more sense?
It goes both ways. Religious people don't feel the need to look up science because the general idea they hear from concepts sound ridiciloud to them. And atheist people don't even bother to try and understand the bible because it also sounds ridiculoud to them.

@@allisoncastro3287 that’s true, but to not even know the name of the deity you are devoting your life to? That’s a pretty major and significant detail.
They aren’t very bright
Actually, within Judaism ✡️, God doesn’t have a name. Christians use YHWH or J@hovah OT some such. Jesus used Father consistently. God Almighty comes up without them using the actual Hebrew term which seems to puzzle them and hey I’m not going use it because I don’t want to make them dizzy. Allah is not a name, it’s a descriptive. . Point is, God doesn’t have a name in Abrahamic faiths but I seriously don’t think Christians know this. Why? Because they never say God has no name and why. Greek Stoics used Apeiron in the place of a name. It means the Boundless.
Infinite or Eternal Beings we don’t fully understand and who exist on levels we can’t perceive is the given response to the name question.
PS El was the name Semites used at one time. Eventually, they decided it was a descriptive. But we cannot be totally sure because they didn’t write much more than El and made statues. If you look at Ugarit, Ba’al replaced El with no real explanation. One story as it that Ba’al killed El but it wasn’t repeated and they went back or never left making statues. Once they could write, they went with Ba’al hero epics. So we don’t know El’s exact status but they continued with the occasional statue. I have seen comment out of Ugarit that says El went out into the cosmos but haven’t seen what text the archaeologists are referring to yet.
i work with a very religious person at work, and he went on and on about christianity and i didnt want to tell him im atheist because i knew it would change the way he thinks about me. one day i couldnt handle the nonsensical rambling and told him im atheist and i explained to him that its not a choice i made i just cant believe any religious with all my heart. he got really upset and did the usual christian questions, and to each one i replied with answers. hes still mad at me and dislikes me so today i started drawing demonic symbols everywhere and was jamming eyehategod and bongripper and other heavy metal, lol. hes pushing his religion down my throat, so why cant i?

Becoming an atheist from a younger age, I've had all of these sad to me. I remember one time some older woman at the store said something similar to atheists can't do good things. After she started walking away, the bottom of her cart broke and I ran over right away and helped her. After the bags were picked up she said, "Oh God bless you, young man." Can you guess what I said? "Sorry ma'am, I'm an atheist." The look on her face was PRICELESS.

what made those plate tectonics
+Lee Cooper when the earth was created NATURALLY, plates of the crust started to move because of the magma's convection currents
How was it created naturally? What was it made of to create it?
When I was in eighth grade was about the time I was becoming agnostic. I was sitting at my lunch table and took a survey to see how many of my friends believed in evolution. Out of the 11 other people sitting there, 3 people completely believed, 1 person was unsure, and 7 did not believe. Their argument was that it was impossible to evolve from plastic into monkeys into humans. I left the table the next day.
AARK productions™ Yeah.
- OdysseuS - That scares me
Ok...now you can leave the planet.
Bye.
David Joffe-Hunter Me too.
Tony Lankford Excuse me?
- OdysseuS - You don't believe in evolution, you accept it.
Mountains are formed from the movement of tectinic plates. When the plate boundaries clash as a result of convection currents, they slope upwards, altering the earth's crust, creating mountain ranges.

***** There was a talk not too long ago about not debating on the internet, but whatever, you do what you want.
magicians used clear plectsy glass tables and the people in the audience pretended not to know about it plus the lake was deep and glass wasn't made back then yet so no he actually walked on water

I put absolutely no thought into my atheism. Religious people have a difficult time with me because of this. You can't say its a phase, because I have never, ever been religious. I didnt put thought into it because, agian, I didn't even think religions were real things until I was like 10 years old - I assumed christianity and the like were talked about as something that happened, like ancient egyptian religion, but no longer was.
The idea of religion, of spirituality even, is completely alien to me. I can give you the dictionary definition of it, but nothing more. It makes no sense to me.
Religious folks never want to talk to me after finding this out :(
etherraichu You'd fit right in in a lot of European countries ;-)
True story, when I was young and found out Santa wasn't real I just assumed that meant everything ( the easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc. ) wasn't real including god. It wasn't until later I found out adults believed in God and was a separate thing. Obviously my parents were non religious. It was never discusses though, I was allowed to make up my own mind and the answer that always made the most sense to me was science. I think the fact that region relies on faith and not asking too any questions should really be a red flag to it's credibility.
etherraichu For me atheism began in a similar way. I was exposed to religion as a child but when we were being read bible stories I just thought they were telling us fairy tales. I was about 10-12 when I realized people actually believed in all of it. As I got older I started thinking about it and realized it made absolutely no sense.

Frankly, a lot of Christians are ignorant and annoying, and I feel like they give us a bad name. I agree with all of your statements and would like you to know that I really appreciate your lack of bias.There aren't many atheist TH-camrs who talk about religion without a bias. Subscribed :P
I went to a religion discussion at my college and ended up being the only Atheist there and let everyone know that. And the person leading the discussion said that God is working through Atheists too. I had a really hard time not rolling my eyes.
My deepest condolences. I think a lot of us understand what it's like to have to stand witness to asinine garbage like that, all the while not being able really say or effectively do anything. It gets annoying, but I think there's a brighter future around the corner, all things considered.

"You just want to sin!" Actually, if I specifically wanted to sin, I'd become a Catholic. Why? Because according to Catholicism's own teachings, I can commit any sin, go to confession, confess those sins, do the penance, and voila, my soul is as clean as fresh snow. Therefore, sin without consequence. Also, being religious does not mean you are free of sin. If it did, then there'd be no such thing as confession, and even prayer would be pointless. By the same token, lack of religion does not necessarily make a person bad.
I think atheist are atheists because the fact that there is no god is the only other explanation for the fact that there is a universe, these people also see it is silly, that is also true (what you said)
TheAstroSloth
??
Your soul wouldn't actually be 'clean' unless you actually were genuinely sorry.
I'm familiar with the doctrine. The problem is, I don't really believe that everyone who goes to confession is truly sorry for their sins. If they were truly sorry, they'd make an effort to atone for their actions outside the church before asking God's forgiveness. I'd think more highly of the person who regretted stealing hundreds or thousands of dollars and returned the stolen money than I would if he simply waltzed into a confessional and did a handful of Hail Mary prayers. Morality is not a product of religion. Religion is not a product of morality. Each *CAN* exist independently of the other. And that concept is what seems to give the religious types grief.
xaenon the bible says "that who ever BELIEVES will not parish but have everlasting life" like the man on the cross next to Jesus who believed in him and said "remember me " he sinned all his life and still made it.

You don't need to express those thoughts/knowledge to anyone nor should you argue because you can't get them convinced as they(theists) too must be having their own family and believing whatever their parents have told them since their childhood. They are believing in God for such a long time, it's almost impossible to convince them. It's better to ignore these arguments as it may affect the friendship or any relation.
@@gurzeenatkhanna446 There are around 4000 religions in the world. Theists disbelieve in 3999 Gods. We(atheists) disbelieve in just one more.

Looking at the video and the comments below, I'm not sure that it is true...
Oh my god, I love this guy. He seems like an awesome guy to hang out with.
I just realized how ironic my comment of "Oh my god" was. Guess it's too much of a habit, I'm an atheist myself btw >.
Ang3rF1st I can understand that. Just think of it this way: It's just a figure of speech. People do it all the time. No one truly calls upon Godly Feces when they say "Holy shit", for example. I'd hope not, at least....
killthemwithfirelol Agreed!!
In school there is this class call earth science. in this class they teach you where mountains come from. Christians shouldn't have to google it if they paid attention in class. I think we pick on Christians because they are the most outspoken religion. They are always trying to turn people into their religion, knocking on doors giving the "word of god" or whatever in the streets. Jewish and Muslim and whatever other religion out there they don't do that. And that is why I think atheists pick on Christians the most. I might be wrong.
those are Jehovah witnesses
+Ada Wong in my experience it has been Christians.
+Artemi Sánchez the protesters that make us look so desperate well I'm not desperate I tell someone about God they can do whatever they want with what I told them I won't lose sleep over a loss soul my life will go on without you.
+Ada Wong I wish more shared that thought, but that's not the case
+Artemi Sánchez alright.
I am 15 and I have been an Atheist for 5 years now,the best thing that I have done in all my life,I even feel better being an atheist,the only thing that hurts me is that all of my family is believing lies to this very day.
Carlos gamer why would it hurt you if your family believes in a god? If atheism is true nothing happens when we die. We are just dead. So if it gives people comfort to believe what you call a "lie" why not let them?
Good response to number 2 would be. "And you're a Christian? You're not acting like one."

You see, for me, it WAS easy. Because I was lucky enough to grow up in an entirely irreligious family.
Thank non-existent God for that.
what makes you think hes not real?
@@allisoncastro3287 What makes you think he IS real?
My parents are kinda religious but they din t mind me becoming a atheist
@@EightThreeEight well God isn't just a dude up in the clouds, you cannot expect to simply find a physical proof of something that is greater that the whole fowkin universe. Faith isn't something you buy at the store. You have to have a relationship with it. Or looking for one if you're missing it.
A question a Christian once asked me was, "If you're an atheist, why do you celebrate Christmas?" I celebrate Christmas because of the feeling and festivity it brings. Not because of Jesus.
***** Especially christmas is often taken as THE christian holiday, but in reality, they just took a few pagan rituals, mixed them up, put Jesus in it and practiced it on a pagan holiday which they dated Jesus' birth. Except for Jesus supposed birth there is nothing Christian about it. Not the giving presents to each other (that was done even before Jesus was born), not the Christmas tree (which is a pagan fertility symbol to hope for much food in the next year), nothing. Same with easter. So the question should rather be "Why do you celebrate Christmas when you're a Christian?"
***** Yeah, we have Jesus and all that here, but many people don't even know why. Many go only to church then and no other day in the year and most don't care about the religious part. It's more about presents and being together.
"Just an phase", hmm I was raised extremely strict Roman Catholic, stopped believing in God 22 years ago, after I asked the priest an few questions he couldn't answer , I'll let you know when "my phase" is over.
Well I don't really know why some people think priests are supposed to know everything. They're still humans. And it isn't just a phase. I guess you could call almost anything a phase if you wanted to but..wtw but faith is a very complicated thing. Humans are complicated. The world, life is.
Y'know what the worst part is? If you study Egyptian religions, Christianity has Egypt written ALL over it. There is only one difference, and that is their understanding of God. Basically, Christianity came out of Egyptian culture, and then discredited them.
One MAJOR difference. Obviously, there are many more differences in the two belief systems.
jewish people started christianirty
Damian Jablonski They gave us the first 5 books of the Bible which probably came from Egypt.
I take it from that that you know more about the subject than I do(1st semester in university, History as 2nd subject). I heard once that the story about Jesus' resurrection came from Osiris? I don't know the exact parallels anymore, if you would be so kind to explain it, that'd be awesome. :)
the jewish religion came before the egyptian
Atheist: I don't believe in God, I'm an atheist.
Christian: so, you believe in evolution
A: Yup
C: But, hey, it's just a theory
A: A GAME THEORY!
C: Thanks for watching!
please, tell me i'm not the only one...
Now its time for our SUPER AMAZING END CARD TOURNAMENT!
As an Atheist, I celebrate Christmas. Not because I believe in it, I celebrate it just because I can, as it is the main holiday in my country. Heck, if I wanted to, I would celebrate Hanukkah without having to be Jewish.
Thank you!
I feel the same way, as much as it is a Christian holiday, Christmas has been warped so much that it's much more social holiday than a religious one. When looking at how much I love the holiday season, it has nothing to do with some religious event, it has to do with the lights, the cheer, the music, sounds and movies. The family events, the decorations, the trees! Christmas morning, presents, a fancy dinner, and school break. It's truly just not a holiday about religion.
TheRandomMan20111 Took the words right out of my mouth :3
It wasn't a christian holiday in the first place, it was several different holidays belonging to the romans, greeks, druids, other pagans, jewish, and etc.
Christmas is about Jesus Christ and His FIRST ADVENT. You seem to have justifications for all you want to do. Don't you? Its more a laughing matter.
At some point Christmas was about that, but how many stories are about the 100% commercial side of Christmas anymore? Honestly though, Christmas is a Frankenstein's monster of a holiday, borrowing it's tradions and stories from dozens of other festivals, holidays, and religions.
“Where do mountains come from”
“Want to find out?”
“Yea”

The Atheist Voice Have you ever been to Sweden? You should go here on vacation just to relax, you never hear anything about God EVER.
It's true yeah. If some random guy started to talk about God we'd all be like "rigggght backing away, don't talk to me weirdo"

Yeah but noone GOES to those churches
the official statistics in sweden is that most of us are written in church as a tradition, but we only go to church twice per year (for things like baptisment and weddings, funerals)

here are some statistics. Now take into concideration that 10% of our population is people that have fled here from religious countries
