As an evangelical Christian, I laughed out loud at your comment. Too funny. And BTW, I would be inclined to agree with you that the fiction section is probably where it belongs. Peace.
My crazy fan club can't agree with each other on anything. That's why you should NEVER go to church. Cut out the middle-man and come get your Jesus farm to table fresh, right here, direct, on TH-cam. 😇

I was reading about an awful helicopter crash in Texas that tragically killed not only the pilot, but also two young newlyweds......literally minutes after their wedding. Amongst the mainly sympathetic messages was one which said, "Awesome, you get to spend your honeymoon with Jesus". A truly sickening sentiment - 3 lives lost, 2 of them celebrating the happiest day of their lives, in what will no doubt have been a horrific accident, and someone thinks that it's "awesome". It beggars belief that someone, (evidently called Carol) would actually post that message.
Jesus was clearly a super-good looking white man, with a perfectly trimmed beard, awesome abs and nice clean robes. All the women wanted him. I'm not projecting or anything...
Also, he had less density than water. And speaking of water, that leads to his mad catering skills, he was _the party catering master_ able to take a few bits of leftover fish, a spare piece of bread crust and some water and feed an entire horde and get them all hammered. The guy belonged on Animal House, he would have been King of the frat house for sure, but I'm also definitely not projecting or anything...

The son of a "virgin" quote unquote in inverted comas and a Roman soldier. He wasn't the Messiah. He was just a very naughty boy, just like his mother.
If you're going to put down the prince of peace, have at it, but at least be accurate, he said, I paraphrase, To get to God you go through me. I will judge you correctly because I know you. If you repent and ask for forgiveness I will give it to you. He said a lot more, but this relates to your post. Believe what you want brother, aint proselytizing, just correct'n a bit.
@@A_Chicago_Man " to get to God you go thru me "....he might have said that when he was still alive, but since his death.... it all came to nothing, two thousands years have passed, nothing has changed...and it never will.
@@ateoforever7434 LOL2 thousand years to us bro, but might be the wink of an eye from another perspective. Just shit in the wind though as you say, but you missed my point, he said to get to God or "the next step" if you will, you go through him, AFTER death, the passage of time you mention means nothing. It's one the most misunderstood utternces of JC. But it's just a personal belief I have for personal reasons, I aint telling you or anyone to follow me or anything. I'm just telling you, you have to love me if you want to please the universe, and I have to love you, and we have to love everyone else. That's his entire message, love, forgive, don't rape others especially kids, yada yada. Few listened then, few HEAR now. HOw do I know? My mom and Jesus told me so Much love brother. Enjoy this momentous day!
@@A_Chicago_Man But...i read/hear that Jesus is here now, ( walking with someone out of sight ) always one to one...no other witness around to confirm. The fact that for Jesus, the time frame of two thousands years is like " the blink of an eye ".....it's a worry, because in another 20.000 years " he " might turn up, and say...shit ! i blinked a few times..that much time has gone by ??
If a fair skinned blue eyed Jesus was living around dark skinned people, wouldn't he be more noticed? Wouldn't the authorities at that time want to investigate Joseph and Mary as to why Jesus was blue eyed and light skinned?
Well since He was God's Son, He was a "Skin-walker" He was an Indian for the Indians, white for white folks, black for Negras, yellow for Chinamen, etc.
The straight line analogy sort of breaks down in curved spaced time with its gravitational lensing. King Higgs Boson says "No straight lines allowed". So God must be relative.
May i present to you, my version of pascals wager, where i removed the black and white fallacy: There are lots of storys about gods all over the world. Many of them condemn the belief in the other gods. So i can assume believing in the wrong god will get me into some kind of hell. Also, i have no way of telling wich one might be the correct one story. Therefore, the safest thing to do is admitting that i just don't know. All i can do is do my best to live my life so that it not hurts anyone, preferrably helping people, trying to minimize any negative impact of my life on the earth. So when i die and there should really some creator, i can step in front of him and confidentially say: "I did the best i could do". And if i die and there is no god, i can die knowing that i will be remembered as a nice person.
This is more of an apologists excuse for religious practices rather than objective morality. It's having your cake and eating it too. Not to be confused with agnostic.
(From my book) In Exodus 32, Moses returned to camp carrying the Ten Commandments, only to find his followers had made a golden calf to worship. Knowing the tablets would probably be ineffective at this particular moment, or by sheer anger; he dropped the tablets breaking them. He then proceeded to massacre three thousand of his own people under the pretense of God’s wrath. After this calmed the crowd down, he went back up the mountain to make new tablets. How convenient the next set of tablets covered the topics of: do not worship any other God, do not make fake idols of God, and do not use God’s name in vain. Any reasonable person can see, Moses never spoke to God, knew God, or received directions from God, but merely devised a plan to control his mob through killings and text. How could God be so intimidated by a gold relic? Surely, God’s love and power could overcome a small inanimate piece of gold? But for Moses to control his mob, he had to paint God as vindictive, revengeful, jealous, and an angry God. A God so insane he is willing to kill his beloved creations.
So god created all, god made everything perfect, god made us perfect and god has planned everything that has happened and will happen. And if bad things happen it's our fault? What a crock of 💩.
He also created Lucifer knowing he was gonna betray him and create evil, and since god is omnipotent he could have made it impossible for Lucifer to betray him, but chose not to. In other words, god created evil and blamed someone else for it.
That is the church's version of God. He "predestines." How do we know the real "God," wherever It is, does things the same? Free will cannot coexist with predestination.
Master ikem. I do not believe anything in the bible because it is a book of fables. Story's written down by uneducated leader's to control the populace of the time. And added to by shills to create a new religion, to control and keep the populace ignorant and under control. It is a book of fiction. If you believe in an imaginary, invisible, sky pixie. Then you are the one that needs to grow up and get a life of your own. It is sad that you need to a believe in an imaginary sky guy to give your life meaning and control you actions. I just can't understand how you believe in a two to three thousand year old book of fables and an imaginary sky guy.
@Master Ikem do you even read your wonderbook? God made man in his own image. So if you're saying we're not perfect then your stupid god isn't also perfect. Are you cool with that? Coz I'm cool with the fact that your god isn't perfect. Read your book kiddo, you'll find out he's far from perfect.
I remember learning in school about different races and how they looked. I asked my pastor why Jesus was white if he lived in the middle east. Needless to say, I got a lecture on faith in the bible and was told something about how "Jesus was perfect, and that's why he was different." That's not racy at all
Your pastor told you the Truth. Jesus Christ lived as a perfect man while on earth, and came to be crucified for your sins, not His, so we could be cleansed with His blood to be received in Heaven. Jesus is the only path to Heaven. Your soul doesn't die. It will live forever in Heaven or Hell. If you don't know Jesus, you better hope for a long life on earth, because Jesus can't save your soul once you die. Be very afraid to die without Jesus. Read the New Testament.
@@koipond22 pascal reasoned that it was good for us to believe in a random God, whether or not there was proof, in order to avoid consequences of not believing (just in case). I believe in God because I am devoted to His Word, The Bible, and He clearly explains everything you need to know about belief in Him. God wants to have a relationship with His children, wants us to understand His free gift of Jesus' sacrifice to pay for our sins so our souls can be with Him in Heaven. You cannot earn your way into Heaven. The Bible, particularly the New Testament, clearly states that you can only enter Heaven through Jesus Christ. He asks His followers to help non-believers to understand the importance of knowing our choices for our soul's eternity. It's all about the Bible and God, not me. I don't want any human on this planet to miss their Heavenly destination by rebuking Our Lord and Savior. "For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and suffers the loss of his soul." Jesus Christ .Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you thru philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Seems pretty clear to me. I believe God means what He says. I pray for everyone to understand this at some point before they die.

You are punished for not believing something created you (intelligent lifeform), but it´s perfectly fine if god (probably superintelligent lifeform) doesn´t believe in that, it is stupid from start to end
Beej Price, I have heard that many gods used to hang out on Mt. Olympus. But apparently that's no longer a trendy spot for gods. And apparently they are smart enough not to post their new in vogue spots on Instagram. Otherwise, everyone would want to vacation there.
Spot on Seth. You mention William Lane Craig, he's gone on record as saying that the passage in Numbers 31 which talks about Moses ordering his soldiers to slaughter Midianite children and babies, .. Craig said his thoughts were with the Israelite soldiers having to carry out such a heinous act. Yes indeed, those poor soldiers, having to butcher babies !
Bonnie, you need to read the New Testament so you understand how critical it is for Jesus to be in your life while you are on earth. Once you die, it's too late. Hell will be your soul's eternity. If you don't learn, Jesus can't save you. Open your heart. Watch Bill Wiese video on 23 minutes in Hell.
@Nick Nack Nick, it's clearly spelled out in the Holy Bible. Jesus' whole life is explained in the New Testament. These stupid liberals and atheists have taken God out of our schools and towns, so most people are ignorant of The Bible. We have been misled about the importance of knowing Jesus. Christians have an obligation to tell the ignorant what their soul is up against for eternity. Your soul lives forever, in Heaven or Hell. God gives you the free will to make your own choice. It is up to you to educate yourself on why you were created and put on this beautiful earth. You didn't just evolve. God created you and loves you and wants your soul to be with Him in Heaven for eternity. You hold the ball on your soul's fate.
@Nick Nack NICK, the New Testament is God's Word. I'm just trying to save your soul from a tormented eternity. The more you deny, the farther you get from Our Savior. It is your choice. I hope you will open your heart to Jesus. He is the only one who can save your soul from Hell. This is God's Word, whether you believe it or not. Once you die, it is too late to get to Heaven. Eternity is a long, long, long time to suffer. God Bless you, Nick. I hope you will seek Jesus.
When I was a boy, my aunt would read to me Bible stories and would try to get me to pray with her to Jesus, and would tell me that he was the only way to get to Heaven. Even from an early age, I had my doubts, I had my questions. *"Was this Jesus a real person?"* *"What did he really look like during his day?"* Pics depicted Jesus as being male, Caucasian, with long brown hair and a beard. But given where the Bible took place, I imagined him with darker skin, looking like a typical Middle-Eastern man, possibly with long hair, a beard. *"If he was real, like Christians say he was/is, would he have really cared if you believed in him?"* The older I got, the more I decided that I wasn't going to just blindly follow her line of reasoning that I should believe in Jesus, or even accept him as my so called "lord and saviour".
If Jesus existed he would have been Caucasian because middle eastern people are Caucasian, by the classification system, now not actually used anymore by anthropologists, devised by Blumenbach in the 18th century. His system is not as useful as genetic haplogroups.
That's heaven. One king, one absolute monarch. Heaven is not a democracy. There is no freedom of belief in heaven and the punishment for such is burning forever in the furnace. You are required to worship an Idi Amin type character forever.
I just don't understand the need for Jesus. I mean, why come up with someone like Jesus at all? Shouldn't god be enough? Or do people really require a human figure to worship in order to feel kinship with their deity? If Christians can believe in god without seeing him, then what purpose does Jesus serve if it isn't to hammer home the idea that humanity is special enough to look like god? It's such a fucking ego joyride, isn't it? Why can't Jesus look like, I don't know......a panda?
That's pretty much why carrier is wrong. If you start with a historical Jesus (a normal human being who wandered around with a handful of followers rambling about his ideas and gets deified after his death) it makes sense that there is a human figure there. Start with the assumption it's all made up and it makes a lot less sense.
@@siblinganon66 I wouldn't say it makes a whole lot of sense either way. If Jesus even existed, and if he existed in the time and place that the unreliable sources claim he did, he was hardly the only prophet around, was he? Jerusalem was as littered with holy men as Vegas is covered with slot machines, so why should Jesus stand out? Because he was...drum roll......SUPER Jesus!? Or very charismatic and/or attractive? I've heard a lot of people make the point about him having blue eyes, which is exceedingly rare in that part of the world, so maybe his audiences were drawn to those? Who the fuck knows? People are idiots. But I've heard it said that he was simply a popular prophet who was chosen to represent the new religion that the Romans had decided to exploit in order to control the population of Judea. They weren't going to become Romans any time soon, so having a hand-picked Messiah to lead them, would be very handy, politically speaking.
@@SpaceCattttt Of course he wasn't. John the Baptist was another one. And very likely a lot more. Like tent revivalists but without the tents, smaller crowds and a lot fewer people who could write about it. Pretty doubtful Jesus was chosen by the Romans though. The crucifixion and the inri sign are generally regarded as likely authentic which suggests Roman displeasure. The washing of hands a later addition to make up to Rome. And Rome was allied to the temple hierarchy. A possible interpretation of the give the emperor his due and god his is a cry for revolt. Judea being god's land giving god his own could mean kick the Romans out.
@@siblinganon66 All right, but if we assume that Jesus existed, whose Messiah was he? To the Romans, he was just troublemaker whom they feared might stir up a revolt. And the Jews wanted him dead for blasphemy. And the Arabs have never believed in him as a deity of any kind. So how could he become such an influential figure if he only had a handful of followers who tagged along? By being kind and understanding? I doubt it. To me, it seems more likely that Jesus is an amalgamation of various myths and legends, handpicked and borrowed from other cultures and religions. And whoever wrote the bible was only too happy to include "the deity to rule them all"...
@@SpaceCattttt Judaism was very different back then. There were huge conflicts between the temple hierarchy who were allied with the Romans and took hard cash for every prayer and healing ritual they performed and the poorer masses. The whole money lender in the temple bit. The diaspora was very well established, too, and there were conflicts there, too. Guru got popular, spread through the diaspora, Paul gets the gentiles in. The group with the closest connection to the historical Jesus got wiped out in the revolt of 70 I think it was. Lots of changes on a relatively short time. That there are a lot of influences from all kind of other cults isn't in doubt. But the best way to model the progression is by starting with a real human who had other ideas attached after his death. That simply offers the best basis for a historical interpretation. And btw, Arabs would be extremely ahistorical in this context. And if you mean Islam didn't pick up Jesus later... In Islam Jesus is a prophet who is supposed to return later to fight the antichrist. Just not the main prophet.
Seth, this was great. I had always been told that Jesus was tall, beautiful, perfect. Even though my Mom wasn't very religious, I saw, as a young teen,JC Superstar! My dad (during my only 'visit', divorced) took me to see, live, at 12. My dad was, especially later, but I wasn't around him. I , at 18, after sporadic church hopping, almost got into JW's. Had to read the bible, cover to cover, and a couple versions. That did it for me. I was atheist, after learning more history, anti-theist! Just didn't have the terminology! If I wasn't sort of stuck between 80yr(very healthy) Mom, and 50yr, very sick sister, Mom and I support, caretake, I'd be a huge activist! So many TH-cam, (my only social medium!) I'd like to help, patron. As soon as we get sis income! But, I've learned so much from you, Aron Ra, and the whole community, here! Sorry, didn't mean to comment a book! I just love your 'talks!' Love and Peace
Laura, if you knew Jesus, He could help your sister. Jesus Christ is the only path to Heaven. He died for your sins so your soul could live for eternity with Our Father God. Please don't let your sister die without knowing Jesus. She will end up in Hell for eternity. Jesus can save her soul. Please don't ignore this. Read the New Testament, watch Bill Wiese's 23 minutes in Hell on youtube. You need to get this information asap. Don't let anyone lead you to Hell to be tormented.
@@ageorgiapeach9442 so let me get this straight. you believe her sister who is ill is going to hell, but your asshole god gave her the illness in the first place? do you not see the bullshit in your statement? do you not see that your bullshit christianity is illogical and a contradiction? and, if you think her sister and everyone who doesn't belong to your sick club, we are all going to be tortured forever and ever and ever ... that makes your god disgusting and it makes YOU disgusting! you can take your sanctimonious ass and piss off!
A Law of Physics: Nothing happens without a force acting on it. Yea, yea, yea. I was raised Christian, asked the Preacher some questions, he said I was going to HELL! I became agnostic, then atheist. The Universe is here. How did it start? A force! What! So, may the "FORCE" be with you. Can you SEE that?
My favorite is that "sin" must be so powerful that even "if" Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for the "sins of the world" however, "sin" still exists anyways: then "sin" must be more powerful than anything "god" ever "created." PS If you think the quotation marks are too much, blame Friedrich Nietzsche. I learned that from reading his work. LOL
Have you ever wondered why God has a judgement day, a day when God judges us on things he already knew we were going to do.....because God planned our life. Judgement day is therefore totally immoral .
If their god gave us our reality he used the lowest bid system. Substandard parts and shoddy construction methods and he left junk everywhere just floating around. He ended up building an entire galaxy trying to get just one planet right. This is a supreme being ?
The left over junk itself is a pretty good refutation of the whole "finely tuned" argument. I guess he would have gotten bored with only 7 billion people to keep track of , so why not add a few hundred million comets, asteroids and meteors (some with Earth intersecting orbits) into the mix. Then for good measure sprinkle in a few nearby (relatively speaking) blue giants that will go supernova and bathe our solar system with some gamma rays every fifty million years or so.
Thomas, you are so lost. Please learn who Jesus is so your soul doesn't spend eternity in Hell. Read the New Testament. It will change your life. You don't know the danger you are in. I don't want you to find out The truth too late. God loves you and wants you to be with Him in Heaven for eternity. Find out how you do that.
Try some children. That seems be your kinds last hope of staying out of the mythology section where this b.s. belongs. Your level of ego is beyond human comprehension.
@@thomasridley8675 So be it, Thomas. May God have mercy on your wicked soul. You were warned. See Bill Wiese's video 23 minutes in Hell. Please just watch it.
@@ageorgiapeach9442 hey ! I read your bible and still wonder how anyone can fall for the obvious real reason the bible exsists. To justify the ruling elities right to rule. Try reading it without the jesus glasses.
I'd recommend "Mistakes of Moses" by Robert Ingersoll as another great reading material. It only tackles the first few books of the bible, and as such may be technically off-topic, but it's a fantastic read.
It is offensive that you have characterized the brutal crucifiction of Our Lord and Savior as a joke. He died for your sins so you can enter Heaven. That was a huge gift. Be grateful and ask for forgiveness. Jesus is the only path to Heaven. Your soul doesn't die, it lives for eternity in Heaven or Hell. Be afraid to die if you are not living for God, because Satan will take you to Hell for eternity. No joke.
@@JamesRichardWiley "fantastic claims" You mean miracles? You obviously need to learn who Jesus is and why your soul will be eternally in Hell if you don't know Him. Read the New Testament. Watch Bill Wiese's video 23 minutes in Hell. If you don't seek Jesus, I am sorry for you.

21:17 Have they ever thought of Pascal's Wager from a future Deity? What if there is a Deity but it has not been discovered yet just like Christianity did not come around until relatively recently in history. And what if for this Deity suspending judgement and skepticism pleases it? The Christians are under the risk of offending the future discovered and revealed Deity that is pleased by curiosity and skepticism.
Dear Seth, Thank you so much for this and your other videos and audios. They help so much in claering my brain from decades of fundamentalist indoctrination.
Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS?

Good stuff! As Black people continue to learn more about religion, Christianity in particular, Black people have had to change their focus for him to maintain his relevance. I would like to see the Black community challenge our notion of Jesus. Emancipation of a Black Atheist
You are spiritually lost. Jesus Christ is the only path to Heaven. If you ignore this, your soul will spend eternity with demons. Be afraid to die unless you learn who Jesus is and believe in Him. It's your choice. Once you die, its too late. Your soul doesn't just go to sleep. It lives forever in Heaven or Hell. It doesn't matter whether you believe that or not. That is God's Truth.
I've been watching some videos about narcissists lately. We seth quotes "If you only understood who Jesus is" made me think. That's a classic narcissist gaslighting response! They try to get you to think you misunderstood your you are crazy. If they can get you to distrust you own mind and experience, they can tell you anything.
EcoCentric Homestead This is why I loved Jeff Dee if the Atheist Experience when he explodes on the one caller...”Did it ever occur to you, SIR-that I can have a PERFECT UNDERSTANDING of Christianity and STILL REGECT IT?!!!!”. I may not have the quote perfect but that was a great moment in atheist history!
Maybe you should read the New Testament and find out about Jesus, then you can make your own decision of what to believe. Jesus is the only path to Heaven. If you aren't living for God, then your soul will spend eternity with Satan in Hell. Heaven or Hell. That's the choice forever.

Seth is leading you on the path to Hell. You must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ or your soul will not go to Heaven. Jesus died for your sins and is the only path to Heaven. If you ignore Him while you are here, Hell for eternity will be your destination. Better live it up now, because Hell for eternity is 24/7 torment.
Seth is leading you on the path to Hell. Your soul lives forever, and once you die, if you haven't known Jesus Christ while on earth, the demons will take you to Hell, for eternity. Just know that was your choice. Jesus can save your soul. Read the New Testament.

Jesus seems to me to be a concept that is just adapted to suit whichever cultures particular need and wants are, the various different ethnic depictions of Jesus seems to support this. Now I do not know what and if there is any truth behind the characters of Jesus but one thing is for sure I do not see anything that would have supported him actually being a divine person who was capable of doing the sort of magical feats he is claimed to have done in the Bible other than the Bible itself, as using the course of a claim as the evidence for the claim obviously has huge issues, especially when other parts of the Bible do not match up with what we know about our reality.
If Yahweh and Yeshua really cared about human suffering they would not have introduced free will into their creation. Free will leads to sin and everyone knows it.The Boss and his Son both knew that from day one.

The Jesus that you and I grew up with was largely based on Jeffery Hunter's portrayal of Jesus in the movie King of Kings. Google it, you'll see what I mean...
Hello. I love you. It’s you and Aron that set my brain back on track. I grew up in a religious home. Crazy parents. Lots of beatings. Didn’t much help me. As a child, my atheism actually began from my RAGE at Jesus and god for not caring enough about the cavemen and the animals to save them from eternal torture..... or to allow them all into heaven. Now, I’m functionally autistic, in case that’s not a normal line of thinking. I was mad because my mom called me retarded when I informed her I didn’t like the idea of watching my family and friends burn in Hell forever, even if that means I would go to heaven. That’s not heaven. And if there’s a hell, there can never be a heaven for me.... so I didn’t want to go. ....AND... my parents so kindly referred to me as “stupid child.” For YEARS AND YEARS as a result. And then I found others like myself. Though a whole lot less “WEIRD” than me, you two brilliant humans taught me I was NOT alone anymore AND there ARE OTHERS OUT THERE that think along the same lines. And to think. I found a family and role models in you and Aron both. And I never ever ever looked up to anyone. EVER. . You’re the first person I found. I accidentally clicked on you. Because curiosity. And I laughed till I cried. (Christianity made me talk like an idiot). And now: I’ve waited a bunch of your content, and. I’m not scared anymore! I can speak up and confidently fight back rather than let others torture the weaker with religious stupidity. And now, others are starting to ACTUALLY gravitate to my beliefs and the little turd birds can fall and panic in their little godly corners. And even my husband started VOLUNTARILY watching the videos that helped me become ok with being a loving patient, kind, atheist that loves people . Which is hecking awesome considering I used to be a judgmental confused pile of human shite, who was terrified of everyone and everything. So yea. Before I get all mushy. I wanted to say thank you. You’ve helped me understand the insanity I was unable to process on my own. You are responsible for more good in my life than religion ever could have. You allowed me to use humor to laugh at the insanity and feel less pained by the years I lost (Adventist - soviet, and wayyyyyyy strict on the Bible.) you showed me I can live a good life without god. With just the time I have and the person I am. That atheism isn’t all drug addicted violent hateful nazi evil hearted Satan-loving , dancing around cauldrons and summoning demons to kill Christians. Sounds stupid, but I don’t know how else to explain this. And what else would I know but what I’ve been taught for years and years. So I must say, Thanks for doing what you do. You give terrified kids and confused pained hearts, a chance at brotherhood, peace, understanding, connection, and...well.... hope... Though it’s not quite enough, I don’t think any words could accurately convey the impact you and your work has had on my life. But at the least, I can leave with a genuine thank you. And I hope this brings a smile to your face, and reassures you that both you (as a person) as well as your efforts mean something to far more people than you could ever know. You matter. So peace and love your way, to you and yours, always and all ways; AJ
I saw a news story about a family dog who was bitten by a rattle snake while defending the family baby from that snake. They were able to get the dog to the vet in time and it recovered. Everyone was thanking God for protecting the child, but I was thinking about how this even came about. The snake enters the back yard while hunting for food. The snake had no ill intentions, and had no idea that people were in this area. God sees this, realizes the child is in danger and takes control of the dog to kill the snake. But if God's intention is to protect the child, then it would be better to take control of the snake and prevent it ever entering the yard. This way no one is placed in danger, the dog avoids getting a painful, life threatening injury, the family saves the money it had to spend on treating the dog's snake bite, and the snake survives. But of course, none of the people would have known that God had saved the family. If God had anything to do with this, he'd be like the guy who sets a house on fire to rescue the family. This story doesn't make God out to be a hero at all. In fact, he killed a snake, hurt a dog, and cost the family several hundred dollars.

Imagine if you will a person like Chris Angel Mind Freak... appearing before these simple people...and performing his tricks floating in the air , etc.... how many of those people would consider him a God? How do we know if Jesus was not a magician using his skills to impress how powerful God was? not for profit but to push his point of view? I see the local bible churches are now saying Jesus is God.... when did that happen? when did he get promoted ? in people's minds?...

Seth, for all the talking about god and Jesus, it still amounts to people talking about things that are not in evidence and DO NOT CURRENTLY EVINCE THEMSELVES. My attitude is simple, until either of these characters can be bothered to actually SHOW THEMSELVES, then all the believers are doing is indulging in impotent hand-waving. And I have no time for that.
I forgot to say that I honestly love your Suzie video and really needed it as a wakeup call to get my brain out of fundamentalist sleep. No, you should not turn it down even the slightest nodge! It needed to be that explicit to wake my brain. I was so anesthesized by fundamentalist propaganda that it needed a shocker to break through all those fundamentalist rationalization defenses.
Another great video, Seth, enjoyable and informative as always! I remember watching that facial reconstruction of what Jesus may have looked like when it first aired. I have always wondered if there was a story behind the expression on the finished face. I would have expected that if the artist was a believer, that a more serious or loving expression would have been their choice. What we get is the expression of a guy who didn't make it to the bathroom and shit his tunic in public...priceless! 🤣
Seth I live in the same city as you, and I’m almost positive you went to high school with my father which was the same church I grew up in. After doing a little reading on you I found that kind of interesting. I don’t know if you will end up seeing this but I feel I am in need of some sort of secular or atheist group here in town. Is there anything you would recommend? I love the work you do and would love to help out in any way I can.
I wish you well Jordan, I can't help as I live luckily in a country where religion is mainly a personal private thing and most people look at you sideways if you keep on about god. Mainly because we have noticed he never seems to turn up to do anything almost like he is imaginary. I hope you find a community of rational people. Good luck.

I've always found "apologists" an interesting concept, in general. What exactly are they apologizing for? Why are they doing such? I admit, a bit rhetorical. But, hey.
Linguistically, it refers to defence: "constituting a formal defence or justification of a theory or doctrine [...] from French apologétique or late Latin apologeticus, from Greek apologētikos, from apologeisthei ‘speak in one's own defence’". Similar to how "Satan" refers to "adversary".

Jesus also introduces the thought crimes ideology in the NT, which honestly makes things worse than they were previously.
I was reading about an awful helicopter crash in Texas that tragically killed not only the pilot, but also two young newlyweds......literally minutes after their wedding.
Amongst the mainly sympathetic messages was one which said, "Awesome, you get to spend your honeymoon with Jesus".
A truly sickening sentiment - 3 lives lost, 2 of them celebrating the happiest day of their lives, in what will no doubt have been a horrific accident, and someone thinks that it's "awesome".
It beggars belief that someone, (evidently called Carol) would actually post that message.
@Kelso lowk that's a sick and disturbing way to deal with trauma and that message was totally disrespectiful
Kelso lowk "It was God's plan."
Reminds me of the scene from the Dark Knight where the Joker talks about plans.
It just goes to show that religious platitudes after a tragedy are more for the people who use them rather than the actual victims.

May i present to you, my version of pascals wager, where i removed the black and white fallacy:
There are lots of storys about gods all over the world. Many of them condemn the belief in the other gods. So i can assume believing in the wrong god will get me into some kind of hell. Also, i have no way of telling wich one might be the correct one story.
Therefore, the safest thing to do is admitting that i just don't know. All i can do is do my best to live my life so that it not hurts anyone, preferrably helping people, trying to minimize any negative impact of my life on the earth. So when i die and there should really some creator, i can step in front of him and confidentially say: "I did the best i could do". And if i die and there is no god, i can die knowing that i will be remembered as a nice person.
That comment needs way more likes.

This is more of an apologists excuse for religious practices rather than objective morality. It's having your cake and eating it too. Not to be confused with agnostic.
*This is the most wholesome definition of an Atheist.*
(From my book) In Exodus 32, Moses returned to camp carrying the Ten Commandments,
only to find his followers had made a golden calf to worship. Knowing
the tablets would probably be ineffective at this particular moment, or by
sheer anger; he dropped the tablets breaking them. He then proceeded to
massacre three thousand of his own people under the pretense of God’s
wrath. After this calmed the crowd down, he went back up the mountain
to make new tablets. How convenient the next set of tablets covered the
topics of: do not worship any other God, do not make fake idols of God,
and do not use God’s name in vain.
Any reasonable person can see, Moses never spoke to God, knew God,
or received directions from God, but merely devised a plan to control his
mob through killings and text. How could God be so intimidated by a
gold relic? Surely, God’s love and power could overcome a small inanimate
piece of gold? But for Moses to control his mob, he had to paint God as
vindictive, revengeful, jealous, and an angry God. A God so insane he is
willing to kill his beloved creations.
What freaking version of scriltures do you have? The one by 666 Publisher?
This is all assuming that Moses actually existed. But the logic is great.
Goshhhh if this biblical characters are for real AND ARE ALIVE TODAY they'd be in Mental Hospitals......
So god created all, god made everything perfect, god made us perfect and god has planned everything that has happened and will happen. And if bad things happen it's our fault? What a crock of 💩.
He also created Lucifer knowing he was gonna betray him and create evil, and since god is omnipotent he could have made it impossible for Lucifer to betray him, but chose not to. In other words, god created evil and blamed someone else for it.
Amen to that. The dirty little secret god worshipers cannot face.
Their holy book says that god is a mass murdering psycho.
And Jesus is god.
That is the church's version of God. He "predestines." How do we know the real "God," wherever It is, does things the same? Free will cannot coexist with predestination.
Master ikem. I do not believe anything in the bible because it is a book of fables. Story's written down by uneducated leader's to control the populace of the time. And added to by shills to create a new religion, to control and keep the populace ignorant and under control. It is a book of fiction. If you believe in an imaginary, invisible, sky pixie. Then you are the one that needs to grow up and get a life of your own. It is sad that you need to a believe in an imaginary sky guy to give your life meaning and control you actions. I just can't understand how you believe in a two to three thousand year old book of fables and an imaginary sky guy.
@Master Ikem do you even read your wonderbook? God made man in his own image. So if you're saying we're not perfect then your stupid god isn't also perfect.
Are you cool with that? Coz I'm cool with the fact that your god isn't perfect. Read your book kiddo, you'll find out he's far from perfect.

I remember learning in school about different races and how they looked. I asked my pastor why Jesus was white if he lived in the middle east. Needless to say, I got a lecture on faith in the bible and was told something about how "Jesus was perfect, and that's why he was different."
That's not racy at all
SmokeSpark Dragonfly racy racist McRacerson...
Your pastor told you the Truth. Jesus Christ lived as a perfect man while on earth, and came to be crucified for your sins, not His, so we could be cleansed with His blood to be received in Heaven. Jesus is the only path to Heaven. Your soul doesn't die. It will live forever in Heaven or Hell. If you don't know Jesus, you better hope for a long life on earth, because Jesus can't save your soul once you die. Be very afraid to die without Jesus. Read the New Testament.
@@koipond22 pascal reasoned that it was good for us to believe in a random God, whether or not there was proof, in order to avoid consequences of not believing (just in case). I believe in God because I am devoted to His Word, The Bible, and He clearly explains everything you need to know about belief in Him. God wants to have a relationship with His children, wants us to understand His free gift of Jesus' sacrifice to pay for our sins so our souls can be with Him in Heaven. You cannot earn your way into Heaven. The Bible, particularly the New Testament, clearly states that you can only enter Heaven through Jesus Christ. He asks His followers to help non-believers to understand the importance of knowing our choices for our soul's eternity. It's all about the Bible and God, not me. I don't want any human on this planet to miss their Heavenly destination by rebuking Our Lord and Savior. "For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and suffers the loss of his soul."

Bonnie, you need to read the New Testament so you understand how critical it is for Jesus to be in your life while you are on earth. Once you die, it's too late. Hell will be your soul's eternity. If you don't learn, Jesus can't save you. Open your heart. Watch Bill Wiese video on 23 minutes in Hell.

@Nick Nack Nick, it's clearly spelled out in the Holy Bible. Jesus' whole life is explained in the New Testament. These stupid liberals and atheists have taken God out of our schools and towns, so most people are ignorant of The Bible. We have been misled about the importance of knowing Jesus. Christians have an obligation to tell the ignorant what their soul is up against for eternity. Your soul lives forever, in Heaven or Hell. God gives you the free will to make your own choice. It is up to you to educate yourself on why you were created and put on this beautiful earth. You didn't just evolve. God created you and loves you and wants your soul to be with Him in Heaven for eternity. You hold the ball on your soul's fate.
@Nick Nack NICK, the New Testament is God's Word. I'm just trying to save your soul from a tormented eternity. The more you deny, the farther you get from Our Savior. It is your choice. I hope you will open your heart to Jesus. He is the only one who can save your soul from Hell. This is God's Word, whether you believe it or not. Once you die, it is too late to get to Heaven. Eternity is a long, long, long time to suffer. God Bless you, Nick. I hope you will seek Jesus.

"Jesus is as versatile as Mr Potato Head" - Pat Condell
When I was a boy, my aunt would read to me Bible stories and would try to get me to pray with her to Jesus, and would tell me that he was the only way to get to Heaven. Even from an early age, I had my doubts, I had my questions. *"Was this Jesus a real person?"* *"What did he really look like during his day?"* Pics depicted Jesus as being male, Caucasian, with long brown hair and a beard. But given where the Bible took place, I imagined him with darker skin, looking like a typical Middle-Eastern man, possibly with long hair, a beard. *"If he was real, like Christians say he was/is, would he have really cared if you believed in him?"* The older I got, the more I decided that I wasn't going to just blindly follow her line of reasoning that I should believe in Jesus, or even accept him as my so called "lord and saviour".

It doesn't stop there. Founding fathers, robber barons etc. It's a very strong man view on history and society. Basically feudal.
If Jesus existed he would have been Caucasian because middle eastern people are Caucasian, by the classification system, now not actually used anymore by anthropologists, devised by Blumenbach in the 18th century. His system is not as useful as genetic haplogroups.
That's heaven. One king, one absolute monarch. Heaven is not a democracy. There is no freedom of belief in heaven and the punishment for such is burning forever in the furnace. You are required to worship an Idi Amin type character forever.
I just don't understand the need for Jesus. I mean, why come up with someone like Jesus at all? Shouldn't god be enough?
Or do people really require a human figure to worship in order to feel kinship with their deity?
If Christians can believe in god without seeing him, then what purpose does Jesus serve if it isn't to hammer home the idea
that humanity is special enough to look like god? It's such a fucking ego joyride, isn't it? Why can't Jesus look like, I don't know......a panda?
That's pretty much why carrier is wrong.
If you start with a historical Jesus (a normal human being who wandered around with a handful of followers rambling about his ideas and gets deified after his death) it makes sense that there is a human figure there.
Start with the assumption it's all made up and it makes a lot less sense.
@@siblinganon66 I wouldn't say it makes a whole lot of sense either way. If Jesus even existed, and if he existed in the time and place that the unreliable sources claim he did,
he was hardly the only prophet around, was he? Jerusalem was as littered with holy men as Vegas is covered with slot machines, so why should Jesus stand out?
Because he was...drum roll......SUPER Jesus!? Or very charismatic and/or attractive? I've heard a lot of people make the point about him having blue eyes, which is
exceedingly rare in that part of the world, so maybe his audiences were drawn to those? Who the fuck knows? People are idiots.
But I've heard it said that he was simply a popular prophet who was chosen to represent the new religion that the Romans had decided to exploit in order to control
the population of Judea. They weren't going to become Romans any time soon, so having a hand-picked Messiah to lead them, would be very handy, politically speaking.
@@SpaceCattttt
Of course he wasn't. John the Baptist was another one. And very likely a lot more. Like tent revivalists but without the tents, smaller crowds and a lot fewer people who could write about it.
Pretty doubtful Jesus was chosen by the Romans though. The crucifixion and the inri sign are generally regarded as likely authentic which suggests Roman displeasure. The washing of hands a later addition to make up to Rome. And Rome was allied to the temple hierarchy.
A possible interpretation of the give the emperor his due and god his is a cry for revolt. Judea being god's land giving god his own could mean kick the Romans out.
@@siblinganon66 All right, but if we assume that Jesus existed, whose Messiah was he? To the Romans, he was just troublemaker whom they feared might stir up a revolt.
And the Jews wanted him dead for blasphemy. And the Arabs have never believed in him as a deity of any kind. So how could he become such an influential figure
if he only had a handful of followers who tagged along? By being kind and understanding? I doubt it.
To me, it seems more likely that Jesus is an amalgamation of various myths and legends, handpicked and borrowed from other cultures and religions.
And whoever wrote the bible was only too happy to include "the deity to rule them all"...
@@SpaceCattttt
Judaism was very different back then. There were huge conflicts between the temple hierarchy who were allied with the Romans and took hard cash for every prayer and healing ritual they performed and the poorer masses. The whole money lender in the temple bit.
The diaspora was very well established, too, and there were conflicts there, too. Guru got popular, spread through the diaspora, Paul gets the gentiles in. The group with the closest connection to the historical Jesus got wiped out in the revolt of 70 I think it was. Lots of changes on a relatively short time.
That there are a lot of influences from all kind of other cults isn't in doubt. But the best way to model the progression is by starting with a real human who had other ideas attached after his death. That simply offers the best basis for a historical interpretation.
And btw, Arabs would be extremely ahistorical in this context. And if you mean Islam didn't pick up Jesus later... In Islam Jesus is a prophet who is supposed to return later to fight the antichrist. Just not the main prophet.
Seth, this was great. I had always been told that Jesus was tall, beautiful, perfect. Even though my Mom wasn't very religious, I saw, as a young teen,JC Superstar! My dad (during my only 'visit', divorced) took me to see, live, at 12. My dad was, especially later, but I wasn't around him. I , at 18, after sporadic church hopping, almost got into JW's. Had to read the bible, cover to cover, and a couple versions. That did it for me. I was atheist, after learning more history, anti-theist! Just didn't have the terminology! If I wasn't sort of stuck between 80yr(very healthy) Mom, and 50yr, very sick sister, Mom and I support, caretake, I'd be a huge activist! So many TH-cam, (my only social medium!) I'd like to help, patron. As soon as we get sis income! But, I've learned so much from you, Aron Ra, and the whole community, here! Sorry, didn't mean to comment a book! I just love your 'talks!' Love and Peace
Laura, if you knew Jesus, He could help your sister. Jesus Christ is the only path to Heaven. He died for your sins so your soul could live for eternity with Our Father God. Please don't let your sister die without knowing Jesus. She will end up in Hell for eternity. Jesus can save her soul. Please don't ignore this. Read the New Testament, watch Bill Wiese's 23 minutes in Hell on youtube. You need to get this information asap. Don't let anyone lead you to Hell to be tormented.

No religion can be proven. It depends on faith. Just like my dog has faith that I'll feed him.

@@baldwinthefourth4098 sure
My favorite is that "sin" must be so powerful that even "if" Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice for the "sins of the world" however, "sin" still exists anyways: then "sin" must be more powerful than anything "god" ever "created."
PS
If you think the quotation marks are too much, blame Friedrich Nietzsche. I learned that from reading his work. LOL
Have you ever wondered why God has a judgement day, a day when God judges us on things he already knew we were going to do.....because God planned our life. Judgement day is therefore totally immoral .
For more disrespect write "god(s)' insdeat of god and no caps at jesus.

If their god gave us our reality he used the lowest bid system. Substandard parts and shoddy construction methods and he left junk everywhere just floating around.
He ended up building an entire galaxy trying to get just one planet right. This is a supreme being ?
The left over junk itself is a pretty good refutation of the whole "finely tuned" argument. I guess he would have gotten bored with only 7 billion people to keep track of , so why not add a few hundred million comets, asteroids and meteors (some with Earth intersecting orbits) into the mix. Then for good measure sprinkle in a few nearby (relatively speaking) blue giants that will go supernova and bathe our solar system with some gamma rays every fifty million years or so.
Thomas, you are so lost. Please learn who Jesus is so your soul doesn't spend eternity in Hell. Read the New Testament. It will change your life. You don't know the danger you are in. I don't want you to find out The truth too late. God loves you and wants you to be with Him in Heaven for eternity. Find out how you do that.

Thank you, Mr. Andrews, for intelligently addressing the requisite phenomenon of theists, to revere ignorance and confusion!
I'd recommend "Mistakes of Moses" by Robert Ingersoll as another great reading material. It only tackles the first few books of the bible, and as such may be technically off-topic, but it's a fantastic read.
Jesus was a dude that got nailed to a plus sign for not doing his math homework.... Stay in school kids !
Under Jewish Law Jesus was a public nuisance, stirring up the people with fantastic claims.
It is offensive that you have characterized the brutal crucifiction of Our Lord and Savior as a joke. He died for your sins so you can enter Heaven. That was a huge gift. Be grateful and ask for forgiveness. Jesus is the only path to Heaven. Your soul doesn't die, it lives for eternity in Heaven or Hell. Be afraid to die if you are not living for God, because Satan will take you to Hell for eternity. No joke.
@@JamesRichardWiley "fantastic claims" You mean miracles? You obviously need to learn who Jesus is and why your soul will be eternally in Hell if you don't know Him. Read the New Testament. Watch Bill Wiese's video 23 minutes in Hell. If you don't seek Jesus, I am sorry for you.
@@ageorgiapeach9442 a georgiapeach Hey Sunshine, you said the word hell four times up there, as well as dark words...brutal, died, hell, be afraid, sorry, hell.

No, He allowed Himself to be crucified so you wouldnt have to pay the penalty for your sin. Rather than accept that gift you insult Him.
I really enjoyed the "What the fossils say" video. You should pat yourself on the back for that one.
21:17 Have they ever thought of Pascal's Wager from a future Deity? What if there is a Deity but it has not been discovered yet just like Christianity did not come around until relatively recently in history. And what if for this Deity suspending judgement and skepticism pleases it?
The Christians are under the risk of offending the future discovered and revealed Deity that is pleased by curiosity and skepticism.
Excellent video, Seth! Thanks for all of the great information on books we can learn from! Keep these great videos coming!
Dear Seth, Thank you so much for this and your other videos and audios. They help so much in claering my brain from decades of fundamentalist indoctrination.
Jesus, walking up to a front door with a clipboard in hand: Hi, do you have time to talk? Ok, enough about you. Let's hear about me.
I can listen to Seth talk about this all day. Perfect radio voice! :D Interesting perspectives in this video.. great points as always.
Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS? As God really cares about what you think and your stupid philosophy empty words as godless alone trash person (anyone who deny God is a godless alone trash person)… Another reason none can respect you, you are a lier as any modern Goddenier.. And we hope the next generation will be better then you and forget about you and your empty stupid worthless atheism not even worst to clean my ass. … you are just empty like it. Then why only godless alone trash people are obsessed with hell, while we are not? Another reason to do not be like them, and live with this constanlty fear… What idiots!
For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people
constantly talk about God, showing their obsession, are made not to
help anyhow your godless alone life but to trap you into this empty
stupid cult called atheism they know we live in the time of stupidity
and godless trash people so they need to capture them as more as they
can.
They know you are the most stupid, weakest and alone people in
the face of earth and they need to take advantages on you. They know you
run anytime you see godless ass to kiss it. That what this empty BS
cult atheism make you be, without God and without dignity. But let see
how you are in trapped in this cult: Let see how many godless rats are
here with their empty words and life, just as their cult called atheism.
Why? Why Godless alone trash people want see the existence of God
when it is clear that if they and all the things they see around (earth,
stars, planets and so on) if they are creation something must created
them. For real no respect for those godless blind trash people. God is
what they do not know have and do not know in their miserable alone
trash life. But God will take care about them as well, once death as
anyone alse. Let's hope we will have better generation that those
godless alone trash one.... We really do not need this empty and
worthless cult called atheism and those modern godless alone idiots who
thinks God cares to exist what those poor alone people think about him.
No respect for them and their miserable godless alone life. (they are
also godless ass kissers, as they run anytime they see a godless alone
person... that what happen when you do not have God in your life, you
lose your dignity, and you start to be disgusting in that way)... Oh
anyway when you stopped to believe in God something died on you but you
are so pathetic that you are not willing to admit it (right?). What
trashy people without shame they deny their creator, and they will be
judge for it.... Liars ad patetich as any Goddeniers. so their worthless
empty life without him.... They are even the weakest people, because if
they are wrong, they are the ones who will pay for denying God... Won't
be in their shoes. No respect for them....
I told you this godless
is the worst generation (those people are just empty and worthless as
the cult they are in), and when it will be gone with their stupid
empty, worthless atheism that does not going anywhere, that do not offer
or teach anything, none will complain about it, not even those very
weak losers!!!!! ... Do not call them atheist but godless alone souless
trash. Let's forget about those worthless empty people and their
worthless and empty cult do not even good to clean the dirtiest motel.
WHEN YOU WILL BE GONE NONE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT YOU AND YOUR STUPID CULt
CALLED ATHEISM. You are the worst of people, no respect for you:...
those are juss godless alone trash people, liers as any Godeniers with
less thing sacred in their miserable alone godless life… those weak
people are so weak and alone that they wait for an empty videos from an
obsessed godless person to kiss his ass, disgustingly (no God, No
Dignity) it would not change their life, actually more alone and empty,
(they do not even have a real community) empty life they live empty shit
they are in like this stupid cult called Atheism! No respect for them.
(They are very weak, empty and frustrated people, a life that none will
accepted, but those godless alone trash idiots).. those who say there is
no God will pay for it, soon or later... No won't be a godless alone
trash person into an empty cult not even good for my ass such atheism,
that offers them nothing. But emptiness and lonlyness for their
miserabile godless alone life. No respect for them. They are just empty
as their cult called atheism. But they will pay this soon or later, and
all the emptiness for nothing they are facing in their ridicolous
miserable alone life! It is time to throw on the trash empty atheism and
godless alone trash people, they are not even worthless to clean shit.
You can not respect them and their emptiness! It is over for you, trash
is not even good to clean you of all this atheism BS. No respect for
you. Let's really hope we can have a better generation and forget this
godless alone trash one as quickly as possible. IT IS OVER, it is time
for you and this nosense called atheism to go back from the nothing you
come from. No respect for you. You will pay all this shit, soon or
later...
Today I will put your BS atheism in the toilet and flash it
and you godless alone will shut up, ok? You are worthless and empty as
your stupid cult. No respect for you.... This is the worst, weakest,
empty generation, and when it will be over with their stupid empty cult
called atheism none will complain it. IT'S IS OVER, godless alone
trash.... Those godless alone poor people are playing with the fire, and
they will pay for it, and even badly........
They are so
desperate and frustrated in and empty stupid life... No sorry for you.
Let's hope in the next generation, let's hope in a better generation,
and let's forget this one and trhow it on the trash with their stupid,
nosense cult called atheism that will lead them anywhere. No respect for
you again..... IT IS OVER FOR YOU GODLESS ALONE TRASH PEOPLE AND
YOUR EMPTY STUPID ATHEISM NOT EVEN GOOD TO CLEAN THE DIRTIEST TOILET IN
THE WORLD... You got no peace over there (and if God is real you will be
and are f.... up.. You godless alone people are so weak).........
God
will care about you as well, poor person.... (you life is more
miserable and empty without God, but you are so patetic to realize it).
NO respect for you and your empty cult called atheism....... You are
just frutrated,obsessed, miserable, alone godless person that does
deserve any kind of respect, just to be so. (Lier as any
Godenier)....... IT IS OVER FOR YOU GUYS, YOU AND YOUR STUPID EMPTY CULT
ATHEISM That does not even deserve my piss….. all this just show how much those godless trash people are frustrated (to do not have what people have sacred and holly) no respect for them. it is time to throw away that empty bs cult called atheism that does not explain anything and it is not even good to clean the dirtiest toilet. Godless alone trash people, liers as an any Goddenier, dishonest and the worst and stupidest generation ever had. Let’s froget about this godless trash worthless generation and waiting for a better one. (By the way you will be judge as anyone alse once death by God, do not think you will escape because you deny him, as a godless alone rat as you are (You are also a disgusting godless ass kisser, that anytime you see a godlesss ass you run to kiss it. because you got no God and no dignity in your miserable godless life) NO RESPECT FOR YOU (your life is more empty and miserable without God, but you are the only fool to do not get it… WHY?)... this godless alone trash generation is the worst... Let's hope we can forget about them and have a better one. No respect for them and their stupid empty cult called atheism.....
Holy Smokes, Seth, you forgot about Mormon Jesus! ;)
Good stuff! As Black people continue to learn more about religion, Christianity in particular, Black people have had to change their focus for him to maintain his relevance. I would like to see the Black community challenge our notion of Jesus.
Emancipation of a Black Atheist
You are spiritually lost. Jesus Christ is the only path to Heaven. If you ignore this, your soul will spend eternity with demons. Be afraid to die unless you learn who Jesus is and believe in Him. It's your choice. Once you die, its too late. Your soul doesn't just go to sleep. It lives forever in Heaven or Hell. It doesn't matter whether you believe that or not. That is God's Truth.
ask urself what would white jebus do.
I've been watching some videos about narcissists lately. We seth quotes "If you only understood who Jesus is" made me think. That's a classic narcissist gaslighting response! They try to get you to think you misunderstood your you are crazy. If they can get you to distrust you own mind and experience, they can tell you anything.
EcoCentric Homestead This is why I loved Jeff Dee if the Atheist Experience when he explodes on the one caller...”Did it ever occur to you, SIR-that I can have a PERFECT UNDERSTANDING of Christianity and STILL REGECT IT?!!!!”. I may not have the quote perfect but that was a great moment in atheist history!
Maybe you should read the New Testament and find out about Jesus, then you can make your own decision of what to believe. Jesus is the only path to Heaven. If you aren't living for God, then your soul will spend eternity with Satan in Hell. Heaven or Hell. That's the choice forever.
@@ageorgiapeach9442 You understand that people who are not playing monopoly are not worried for going into monopoly jail? Are you worried to end up in the hell of another religion? Why not? You do not belief in it. This is exactly the point. So the devil exists only for the one believing in that construct. No one else worries about what will Osiris do with me as they just do not belief or even know about it.
Another great podcast. Brought up many good points. Thanks Seth.
Seth is leading you on the path to Hell. You must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ or your soul will not go to Heaven. Jesus died for your sins and is the only path to Heaven. If you ignore Him while you are here, Hell for eternity will be your destination. Better live it up now, because Hell for eternity is 24/7 torment.
Seth is leading you on the path to Hell. Your soul lives forever, and once you die, if you haven't known Jesus Christ while on earth, the demons will take you to Hell, for eternity. Just know that was your choice. Jesus can save your soul. Read the New Testament.
I love these in-depth talks with all the information and references. There's a lot to delve into, go further, deeper. Thank you for sharing.
... I am an Atheist too, and Ive been married to a Christian for forty seven years. I love her dearly, and I can't imagine my life without her. Pick your battles, folks, believe what you think is right and let others think for themselves.
I am a man of peace, and there's no point in starting a battle over something that will do far more damage than it is worth ... Peace.
Jesus seems to me to be a concept that is just adapted to suit whichever cultures particular need and wants are, the various different ethnic depictions of Jesus seems to support this. Now I do not know what and if there is any truth behind the characters of Jesus but one thing is for sure I do not see anything that would have supported him actually being a divine person who was capable of doing the sort of magical feats he is claimed to have done in the Bible other than the Bible itself, as using the course of a claim as the evidence for the claim obviously has huge issues, especially when other parts of the Bible do not match up with what we know about our reality.
If Yahweh and Yeshua really cared about human suffering they would not have introduced free will into their creation. Free will leads to sin and everyone knows it.The Boss and his Son both knew that from day one.
Artwork can’t even agree what race he is. A trip to the Ufizzi Gallery in Florence will yield over a hundred variations on the “Madonna and Child” painting, depicting Jesus and Mary in every imaginable race, from white to African to Thai.
More like modern people today like twisting the Bible's words to fit their sinful ways and narratives.
The Jesus that you and I grew up with was largely based on Jeffery Hunter's portrayal of Jesus in the movie King of Kings. Google it, you'll see what I mean...
Your content is awesome, I've been subscribed for awhile now but never commented before
Awesome vid Seth! Nice and to the point....keep up the good work.
Hello. I love you. It’s you and Aron that set my brain back on track. I grew up in a religious home. Crazy parents. Lots of beatings. Didn’t much help me. As a child, my atheism actually began from my RAGE at Jesus and god for not caring enough about the cavemen and the animals to save them from eternal torture..... or to allow them all into heaven. Now, I’m functionally autistic, in case that’s not a normal line of thinking. I was mad because my mom called me retarded when I informed her I didn’t like the idea of watching my family and friends burn in Hell forever, even if that means I would go to heaven. That’s not heaven. And if there’s a hell, there can never be a heaven for me.... so I didn’t want to go. ....AND... my parents so kindly referred to me as “stupid child.” For YEARS AND YEARS as a result. And then I found others like myself. Though a whole lot less “WEIRD” than me, you two brilliant humans taught me I was NOT alone anymore AND there ARE OTHERS OUT THERE that think along the same lines.
And to think. I found a family and role models in you and Aron both. And I never ever ever looked up to anyone. EVER. . You’re the first person I found. I accidentally clicked on you. Because curiosity. And I laughed till I cried. (Christianity made me talk like an idiot). And now: I’ve waited a bunch of your content, and. I’m not scared anymore!
I can speak up and confidently fight back rather than let others torture the weaker with religious stupidity. And now, others are starting to ACTUALLY gravitate to my beliefs and the little turd birds can fall and panic in their little godly corners. And even my husband started VOLUNTARILY watching the videos that helped me become ok with being a loving patient, kind, atheist that loves people . Which is hecking awesome considering I used to be a judgmental confused pile of human shite, who was terrified of everyone and everything.
So yea. Before I get all mushy. I wanted to say thank you. You’ve helped me understand the insanity I was unable to process on my own. You are responsible for more good in my life than religion ever could have. You allowed me to use humor to laugh at the insanity and feel less pained by the years I lost (Adventist - soviet, and wayyyyyyy strict on the Bible.) you showed me I can live a good life without god. With just the time I have and the person I am. That atheism isn’t all drug addicted violent hateful nazi evil hearted Satan-loving , dancing around cauldrons and summoning demons to kill Christians.
Sounds stupid, but I don’t know how else to explain this. And what else would I know but what I’ve been taught for years and years.
So I must say, Thanks for doing what you do. You give terrified kids and confused pained hearts, a chance at brotherhood, peace, understanding, connection, and...well.... hope...
Though it’s not quite enough, I don’t think any words could accurately convey the impact you and your work has had on my life. But at the least, I can leave with a genuine thank you. And I hope this brings a smile to your face, and reassures you that both you (as a person) as well as your efforts mean something to far more people than you could ever know. You matter.
So peace and love your way, to you and yours, always and all ways;
AJ
I saw a news story about a family dog who was bitten by a rattle snake while defending the family baby from that snake. They were able to get the dog to the vet in time and it recovered.
Everyone was thanking God for protecting the child, but I was thinking about how this even came about.
The snake enters the back yard while hunting for food. The snake had no ill intentions, and had no idea that people were in this area. God sees this, realizes the child is in danger and takes control of the dog to kill the snake.
But if God's intention is to protect the child, then it would be better to take control of the snake and prevent it ever entering the yard. This way no one is placed in danger, the dog avoids getting a painful, life threatening injury, the family saves the money it had to spend on treating the dog's snake bite, and the snake survives.
But of course, none of the people would have known that God had saved the family.
If God had anything to do with this, he'd be like the guy who sets a house on fire to rescue the family. This story doesn't make God out to be a hero at all. In fact, he killed a snake, hurt a dog, and cost the family several hundred dollars.
Thank you for this Seth. Keep up the good word bro! We need you!

Seth, I wish you did audio book recordings.. your voice is perfect for it.
Imagine if you will a person like Chris Angel Mind Freak... appearing before these simple people...and performing his tricks floating in the air , etc.... how many of those people would consider him a God? How do we know if Jesus was not a magician using his skills to impress how powerful God was? not for profit but to push his point of view? I see the local bible churches are now saying Jesus is God.... when did that happen? when did he get promoted ? in people's minds?...
bones, just try reading the New Testament, and your questions will be answered. It's all written as God's Word. The Holy Trinity is God, His Son Jesus Christ, and The Resurrection. God is The Holy Trinity, all three. Jesus did no magic, He did miracles.
@@ageorgiapeach9442 I have read it.... no proof of anything except someone's memory of events happening ... and who says the bible is the one true book? out of how many ? try a little experiment... throw the bible out of the equation and tell me how great jesus was... with out a book he does not exist does he? .... just think in a million years someone pulls a book out of the ashes and they all begin worshiping a great white whale ... the title moby dick.....
I dislike how religion tries to claim science. Science is observation. Religion is belief in that which cannot be observed.

Te "real" jesus would not look like a swedish tennis pro.
Seth, for all the talking about god and Jesus, it still amounts to people talking about things that are not in evidence and DO NOT CURRENTLY EVINCE THEMSELVES. My attitude is simple, until either of these characters can be bothered to actually SHOW THEMSELVES, then all the believers are doing is indulging in impotent hand-waving.
And I have no time for that.
Well said SETH - Keep up your Great and Important Work!
Thanks as always
I forgot to say that I honestly love your Suzie video and really needed it as a wakeup call to get my brain out of fundamentalist sleep. No, you should not turn it down even the slightest nodge! It needed to be that explicit to wake my brain. I was so anesthesized by fundamentalist propaganda that it needed a shocker to break through all those fundamentalist rationalization defenses.
Will you do my voicemail!?
Another great video, Seth, enjoyable and informative as always!
I remember watching that facial reconstruction of what Jesus may have looked like when it first aired. I have always wondered if there was a story behind the expression on the finished face. I would have expected that if the artist was a believer, that a more serious or loving expression would have been their choice. What we get is the expression of a guy who didn't make it to the bathroom and shit his tunic in public...priceless! 🤣
Awesome as usual!
Seth I live in the same city as you, and I’m almost positive you went to high school with my father which was the same church I grew up in. After doing a little reading on you I found that kind of interesting. I don’t know if you will end up seeing this but I feel I am in need of some sort of secular or atheist group here in town. Is there anything you would recommend? I love the work you do and would love to help out in any way I can.
I wish you well Jordan, I can't help as I live luckily in a country where religion is mainly a personal private thing and most people look at you sideways if you keep on about god. Mainly because we have noticed he never seems to turn up to do anything almost like he is imaginary. I hope you find a community of rational people. Good luck.

Every "Believer" is an expert on "Jesus". The Believer can explain to you, every though, and every intention of their "Jesus".
2:38 huh .. i once knew a "lady of the evening" who used to say that exact same thing
"Faith": a piss poor substitute for thinking.
It's what people who cannot think have. If you need faith, you haven't got evidence.
Think your way into Hell for eternity. That is your fate.
@@ageorgiapeach9442 feel your way into Oblivion with your blindfold of faith on. That is all you will find at the end. God has every chance to fix it's word, and yet nothing.
Nice video brother
You are spot on! I’ve come to this conclusion a long time ago naturally.
I’ve noticed WWJD isn’t relevant anymore. Maybe because the answer to that is never the same
I've always found "apologists" an interesting concept, in general. What exactly are they apologizing for? Why are they doing such?
I admit, a bit rhetorical. But, hey.
Linguistically, it refers to defence: "constituting a formal defence or justification of a theory or doctrine [...] from French apologétique or late Latin apologeticus, from Greek apologētikos, from apologeisthei ‘speak in one's own defence’".
Similar to how "Satan" refers to "adversary".
God bless Seth and the good work you are doing.
I know, you know, because you worked in radio before and you make these podcasts and get this a lot,
but you have the *most* *soothing* *voice* imaginable.
I could listen to you talking about papercuts and I would *still* enjoy it.
