Xistianity in a nutshell; here is What Vaishnava Saint wrote about Christianity: "Some philosophers say that because of the first living entity's sin, all the other living entities are imprisoned in the material world. Later, punishing Himself for their sins, God delivers the living entities." "Deliberating on the virtues and faults of this world, some moralistic monotheists concluded that the material world is not a place of pure happiness. Indeed, the sufferings outweigh the pleasures. They claim that the material world is a prison to punish the living entities. If there is punishment, then there must be a crime. If there were no crime, then why would there be any punishment? What crime did the living entities commit? Unable to properly answer this question, some men of small intelligence gave birth to a very wild idea. God created the first man and placed him in a pleasant garden with his wife. Then God forbade the man to taste the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Following the evil counsel of a wicked being [a snake], the first man and woman tasted the fruit of the tree of knowledge, thus disobeying God's command. In this way they fell from that garden into the material world filled with sufferings. Because of their offense, all other living entities are offenders from the moment of their birth. Not seeing any other way to remove this offense, God Himself took birth in a humanlike form, took on His own shoulders the sins of His followers, and then died [was crucified]. All who follow Him easily attain liberation, and all who do not follow Him fall into an eternal Hell. In this way God assumes a humanlike form, punishes Himself, and thus liberates the living entities. An intelligent person cannot make sense of any of this!" Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his book, Tattva-viveka. Plz watch kzitem.info/news/bejne/0YmwnGiogpRnpno

@samo istina , the answer to your question is simply that true Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship with Jesus Christ, and discipleship. Nor do the evils done by people who do not adhere to God's word yet call themselves Christians have anything to do with Jesus himself. Don't judge atrocities and wrongs of those who claim him, consider only what Jesus stood for, and his plan for salvation. Because I call myself Norwegian does not make me Norwegian. By the way, in case you haven't been keeping up on the news, there haven't been any Christian horrors for about 600 years... and even then, we're talking about Catholics, which aren't even real Christians. Unless you want to count the horrors being done to us...

to many the mind is not critical enough or able to comprehend this topic. after years as a christian and a retired scientist. i have reached the conclusion that religions are social/ geographical constructs. the arguments for god are simply a regression. to debate the topic is meaningless, there is no way to prove either point. the absence and reversal of many religious ideologies point towards the position there is no god as depicted in bible. the bible and its source are entirely misunderstood by over 99% of society. people need to believe because the thought of mortality frightens them. sorry to those who are not educated enough in both theology and science.

Why does he go out, prepare, and spend the time to leave his family, travel, appear, and speak if he doesn't hope to have an impact on people's ideas and turn them away from something he considers, I think he said, evil? Dawkins and especially the late Hitchens are/were certainly straight forward about these intentions as well. It may not be their only intention, but it is certainly a big part of it. Some Christians try to convert others, of course, , but many just blend in with everybody else. .I am glad that I am at least, as you say, , enlightened enough to know that people who see things differently than I do may not necessarily be asinine.

Is the universe like a cruel jokester, giving you dreams of the heart that will never see fulfillment? Does the universe trick you in your earlier days, with dreams of love and romance, fun and adventure, only to give you a 9-5 job that you don't like? Yet, heaven will be perfect. People won't even have bad breath there! No one will ever lie to you or steal from you. Doesn't that sound great? Yet, do you see the problem? If you have lied and stolen, you are not worthy of heaven. You would be left outside with other lying thieves. God is love and eternity without love is hell by definition! Yet, Christ died on a Cross. The suffering He endured is the antidote, the cure, for all human suffering. Heaven will be great. I hope you won't miss it! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.

I wrestled a lot with these kinds of questions and turned my back on God, but then something occurred to me. If one day I appeared before a righteous, just and holy God, a God who truly is love and whose wisdom & understanding is infinite, then maybe, just maybe, my reasons for discounting his justice & authority would be shown to be completely unfounded and based on lies, whilst I would know in my heart of hearts that His judgements are valid & righteous. Too many atheists rail against Christian theology without having the first inkling of who the true God of the Bible really is.

This sounds like a tweaked version of Pascal's wager, which is not a valid argument, but maybe you're implying something different. Regardless, the descriptions of the biblical god are neither just or holy. It takes only the understanding of a child to know that owning other people, freely beating them (to death if you choose) if they are not of your race, is a bad thing. The obvious racism in that biblical slave-owning construct is shadowed by the sheer grossness of being allowed to own and even murder another person. Seriously, a child would know that's wrong...but bible god declares it to be morally acceptable in his eyes. Gross, awful, disgusting, immoral, sick!!!!!! So much grossness with the god of the bible. It's a horrific book, really. And before you discount this atheist for not "having the first inkling of who the god of the bible really is", know that I've read Genesis to Revelation straight through at least 9 times, as well as countless hours of studying it when I was a Christian. I'm also one class away from holding a masters in biblical theology from a conservative bible-believing Christian university (I left the faith before completing the degree). I've served on staff at two different evangelical churches, leading bible studies and participating in mission trips around the globe. Christians are the ones who tend to be ignorant of who god is according to the bible - studies have shown that avowed atheists tend to know the bible better than Christians. That seems to match my experience as well. But in the unlikely event that you do appear before a righteous, just and holy god who truly is love with infinite wisdom and understanding I think you'll be ok. If I could forgive you for whatever "sins" you've committed then I think that god you're describing should be able to pull it off as well. But that wouldn't be the bible god. And to Sam Harris' point, there is absolutely no evidence that such a god exists. Thus I left Christianity and no longer waste my life pandering to an imaginary being just like I stopped worrying about the monster under the bed when I was a child.

Did you not listen to the point? Why would a god create a world where you can die so young, if that means your souls goes to hell? Why would he create a world where you are able to not believe in him, then punish you in eternity forever for it? Also, shouldn’t that then prove the non existence of a god? If he allows millions of these women, with free will, to abort their children, then he’s clearly not real. Add to that the fact that a human with autonomy choosing to execute a pregnancy is much different from children dying from disease with no control, when god is the one doing it to them. Add on top even more that the bible states the world is only 6000-8000 years old, but we know that’s false, then everything after that is too

I mean, god was a literal character written in a fictional book, no one had ever seen him before. Also, the "afterlife" is impossible as well, you see, people think of it when you die as it is almost like sleeping, even sleeping takes brain power, energy, blood floor, and many more contributions that even allow a person to sleep. So, what would an afterlife essentially look like? Well, the closest we could get is dreaming or maybe taking hella LSD. However, when you pass away, your heart and brain no longer work (obviously). So, to even achieve an afterlife sort of setting, you would have to be conscious physically and mentally, though since you are dead, you brain could not even display a heaven or hell type of environment or setting because it doesn't work, and especially having a mythical figure decide if you will go to hell or heaven makes no sense and is utterly impossible lol.

Who says, "Can the gods of the other nations (religions) tell you the future? No! They are mere lifeless idols." But I..." and then He proceeds to give us over one thousand prophecies in the Bible to demonstrate that God's word can be trusted. He also adds over one hundred scientific facts in scripture in all fields of science that were written down, thousands of years BEFORE the great scientists of the world would discover them. For example, up to a few hundred years ago surgeons used to wash their hands in basins of water, until they discovered it became a bowl of germs. They started using running water. The Bible instructed the use of running water thousands of years earlier. Soldiers used to die from disease, until they finally figured out to do their toilet business outside the camp. The Bible thousands of years before this, instructed the Israeli soldiers to take a small shovel outside the camp and bury their waste. Doctors used to drain blood (blood-letting) from sick patients, but thousands of years ago the Bible said, the life is in the blood. It wasn't until a couple hundred years ago, that oceanographers discovered mountains rising off the ocean floor, but the Bible thousands of years ago spoke of these mountains. The Bible says, "It is God who spreads out the stars." Astrophysicists now say the very fabric of space is spreading out taking the galaxies along for the ride. Up until about five hundred years ago, astronomers thought there was about 4,000-5,000 stars. But the Bible in Genesis compares the number of stars to the grains of sand along the seashore. Astronomers now say there are at least twice as many stars as sand on all the beaches of the world. Albert Einstein in his paper on relativity stated that matter, energy, space and time itself all had a beginning. But thousands of years earlier in Genesis chapter one the Bible says, "In the beginning (a reference to time having a beginning) God created the earth (matter) the heavens (space) and said let there be light (energy). I don't want to make this so long people won't read it, but you can go any Christian bookstore and find books on the hundreds and hundreds of fulfilled prophecies, in the Bible. There were 256 totally fulfilled prophecies concerning the birth, life, ministry, and death of Christ alone. So, God in HIS word has told of science thousands of years in advance of it being discovered by the great scientific minds of the world, He has spoken prophetic utterances that have come true, over and over again, in a literal, not metaphorical sense, again, to demonstrate His authority. He is God, we are His creation. This is His world, His universe. He is sovereign. Look, it's a great deal; surrender to His only means of forgiving our sins and reconciling ourselves to HIM, Christ dying on the cross, and reap eternal life, eternal peace, eternal health, and eternal joy. OR reject His offer of pardon and receive your just punishment. I choose Jesus Christ.

You are not saved by your works because of the sin of Adam. But Jesus, the creator of the universe, gave you a chance to be in the kingdom with Him. We live in a fallen world because of what Satan did. You are not doomed. You have the choice to believe or believe in the culture that this guy is saying. I will tell you your creator wants a relationship with you. He is the only way. Seek answers in the Bible and Jesus will give you answers.

@GezondDenker I could go for days. First, mathematics alone proves evolution impossible. It's not only just theory, but it's a stupid one. Nowhere anywhere has there ever been evidence a dog turned into a bird. Monkey a man, Whale a horse. It's total fabrication. Yes, a bird can grow a longer beak. Maybe even go from flightless to flight. That's adaptation, not evolution. 2 ND. The archeological record proving the bible is 100 percent historically correct. Even after 1000s of years of litigation and research. The most read, most studied, book in all of history. The only real question is the super natural element. But anyone who denies evil. And, the fact that there are real unexplained paranormal experiences, claims, and examples all over the world is not only not honest but is likely a fool. And to call every Catholic priest or Christian exorcism expert a liar, well, that's fine, but it's not very probable. There are just too many. And they estimate 22 million people alive have had near death experiences. Just go on KZitem and look. All liars also? And why all Jesus? Athiests, Buddhists, Muslems. All end up Christ belivers. Most with completely changed lives. And where do the Jews even come from? They only exist by God's Word in the Old Testiment. Yet they are genetically different. For instance, purity of race. Exactly what the bible claims. They even have found that per capita, their race is more intelligent than the rest of us. Like 10 to 1. And why did Hitler kill 6 million? Because Jesus said He would. Because the enemy of Christ hates them, for they are his. It's always been, and it always will be. Look at the Middle East today. Same thing, only Satan is hidden in the muslem faith. And, this fight between two brothers was literally prophesied in the Old Testiment. In fact, over 2000 prophesied events are in the bible. Most of which have come to pass. Talk about mathematics again. What are the odds? Pretty slim to none unless it's truth. Then there is the claimed and denied evidence. Like Noah's Ark. It was found by a man named Ron Wyatt. Oh sure, they deny it. But the evidence is ridiculously compelling. Even down to massive anchor stones. Turkey knows what it is. They don't deny it. They built a park around it. Then you have Soddom, Gomorrah. The Red Sea crossing. Pillars where Moses crossed. Joseph's grain silos. David's Temple, his thrown. The pilate Stone. Plates ring. The pool of Siloam. Even the alter of Jeremiah. All the way back to Genesis. Complete with a curse tablet specifically mentioned in the bible......on, and, on, and on, and on. Then look at Iran today. Who do they want to wipe off the face of the earth? Why do they want nukes? Where is the last battle in Revelations? And the Jews and the red cows?? Also, prophecy. Happening right before our eyes.............With Google today. Anyone who looks can find these things. Don't take my word. But be warned. Do not listen to this fool! There were always those even when Jesus did miricals in front of them, that denied who He was. Don't be one of those. It's a free gift given to any that will take it.

But we need make sure we're honest about how we get from possibility (anything we can imagine) to probability. We can say we don't know about reincarnation but look at it this way... If it was real, it would be pointless. I could be reincarnated but what good is that when I don't remember? For all intents and purposes its has 0 practical application. If I cant remember who I was in a previous life I wouldn't in the next. So to me I'm living now, which is already the default position. But with no memory or continuance reincarnation would mean nothing if it was true. You get what I mean? Somebody could say ah but you might of been a frog in a previous life for example, if I don't have a memory of this then essentially it's just a story that says, there was a frog, now there is you. There are tons of frogs and I can't relate to any of them. If rein arnatuon was more like an anaesthetic and you had continuance of your knowns afterwards (barring complications obviously). You'll wake up and remember who you are, who you were. I could imagine anything. But it only becomes possible when there is some evidence of it. The flying spaghetti monster for example. Nobody takes that seriously or even thinks its possible, e ause we simply have no evidence whatsoever. Not even a trail of pasta sauce lol sorry for going on just felt like I was failing to explain properly. I just mean I mind seeing doesn't make it a possibility. First sign of it being true is what makes it an actual possibility Im other words if don't even know we're reincarnated, what good is it?

I asked them if they had ever prayed back a lost arm or leg, or even a finger or an ear. Had they ever heard of anyone doing this? or was it only those conditions from which people can recover from on their own which could be healed by prayer? She did not speak to me again after that.

You haven’t left religion for lack of it being true, but for your carnal desires. You forsaking him is for the purpose of pursuing evil desires without restraint or consequence. But if I was going to the electric chair and told the judge “well I don’t believe in justice or the electric chair” I would still be executed. Take it from someone who made the same mistake of denying God and paying the price, it is not worth it. God is the only one who can satisfy you, with a joy incomprehensible in the satisfaction of eternal life in Christ Jesus. It is so foolish to go to war with the only one who can save us from hell.

"At no fault of their own, they were born into the wrong culture". This has been one that stuck with me for a long time. How could a god place someone on earth by his own power and will, and then condemn them for being placed in a culture that didn't worship him? Just goes to show how shortsighted that God would be Edit: Since many people don't want to read the comments I'll give a breakdown of my argument. (1) If God sees people who never know of him as saved, source it from the Bible. If you can not, it's nothing more than a personal belief. (2) Why doesn't God show himself to all humanity so they know of his existence and aren't left to blind faith? God has the ability to show himself, as is shown with Paul (Saul) on the road to Damascus and the Pentecost I believe in the book of Acts, so why doesn't he show himself to all of us? The fact he chooses not to shows how little he knows of humanity or cares about all men equally - speaking as though that God does exist. Hearing about Christianity is no different than hearing about Islam, or Judaism, or any other religion. Feelings and experiences? We all have those. Even atheists. So the "Holy Spirit" doesn't add up. Humanity would need to see in order to know and in order for his judgement to be just. Double edit: In the first statement I mentioned "being placed in a culture that didn't worship him" not "being placed in a culture that has never heard of him." In one of the debates in this thread I've emphasized that if God can condemn someone for rejecting him after only hearing of him, he does not truly understand humanity. Human beings are primarily a product of their upbringing as well as their learning. Hearing about the Christian God is no different than hearing about Allah. Learning about each is no different either. We only have accounts of God through the Bible and then many orthodox religions have supposed visitations by him. In either case, if the Christian God exists, according to the Bible alone he has the ability to show himself. Why would he not show himself to everyone so they could KNOW his existence - and not only believe? Many cultures are taught another God, others are more secular, and even in Christian societies there are those who learn about evidence and see the lack of evidence for the Christian God. How would a just God capable of showing himself justify this? All it seems like is laziness if that God exists, yet since he has made no attempt to show himself - speaking as though that God does exist - in almost two millennia, how can he condemn those who have rejected him only after hearing of him? Do you see the issue? This God would not be just nor would he understand humanity. Additionally, many people who do good and intend good would be damned for rejecting what they've only heard of while many who have done terrible things and have no regard could be saved only by suddenly believing in him, despite their terrible actions with the affixed outcomes. Again, this God is not just and his mercy would also not be full in allowing those who were good to suffer just because they didn't believe in him.

@Prime_Matrix The Ten Commandments have no relevance to what I said and I'm lost as to why they were brought up. Also curious where your holy book says they are judged by works alone with no faith as it's pretty clear you are saved by grace through FAITH, and not of yourself as it's a gift from God. I've never heard of any other Christians outside of Mormonism (and maybe Catholicism) that believe you can be given a chance after death to accept God and I've never heard that it's judgement through works alone, not having faith in Christ. TL;DR (1) Ten Commandments have no relevance to my comment or perspective. (2) You're the first person that I've ever heard claim you can be saved by your works alone while not having faith in Christ and the only person I've heard say that salvation doesn't come through following your religion.

It's pretty clear through a full reading of the Bible and referral to the overall picture of it that to be saved, one must believe in Jesus' sacrifice as a perfect human being who kept all the Old Testament laws and Ten Commandments. If people just got to heaven by being good, it would erase the need for Jesus altogether, but also would erase heaven because people can't keep all the laws and be "Good" in a perfect God's eyes.

@@morningstoke Exactly. Plenty of other world religions claim that it's through doing good and following works, but Christianity and the Bible state that it's through faith in the only man who could be completely good (Jesus). So theoretically, according to the Bible, we would be saved by works if we could follow the 10 Commandments and the old laws... but so far Jesus was the only one who reportedly did that

@@blast2686 - Well for One Thing, "Lord" Zeus never actually Said He was "The Way", and Atheists who bash Religion only Think in Terms of Christianity. I mean seriously You lot Think All Religions offer Salvation. But Since When did Zeus ever do that? You also equivocate. Just because Zeus is called a god doesn't make Him the same sort of Thing as The God of The Bible And I am not saying that as I Have The One True God. Even as an Atheist, who is Viewing this as Mythology, within the Context of the Myths from the Cultures, Zeus is a Contingent being who did not Create The Universe, and wasn't even the original god, or even part of The First Generation of Generation of gods. The Olympians were born of The Titans, who themselves were produced by Gaia and Uranus,. Uranus was also Gaia's son, and Gaia is The Daughter Of Chaos. None of them are Creators, and None offered Salvation in their Respective Religions. The gods are also not Supernatural. Please don't Tell me that by definition gods are Supernatural. That's simply not True. The gods are actually Personifications of Natural Forces, the Spirit that Animates them. They are not beings who Live separately from The Natural World in a Supernatural World. Then there's The Fact that The Greeks had no Real Concept of an Afterlife where The Saved go to Heaven or the Damned to Hell. Everyone pretty much went to The Same Place, Hadese, or The Underworld. Sure, some were given Unique Penalties or sent to Tartarus, but You had to especially Anger the gods for that t Happen and it wasn't based on Morality so much as Favouritism. So were The Elysian Fields. They were open to the Honoured Dead whom the gods showed Favour to, not Moral or Good People. Most were just Their Demigod Children. But hey,., its still a better Religion than Christianity because Christianity Sucks, Right? But Honestly Salvation wasn't something The Greek Paganism had in General and never Claimed to. So You're asking why a Natural Force of Order and Thunder and Weather can't be our Saviour. Its rather absurd when You Think about it. what Soul Zeus save us From exactly? Zeus Fornicates and Grins and Lies and Cheats. And yes I Know, Yahweh is worse and Murders Babies and all. But Atheists overplay that God is a Tyrant Card, and Really You Lot never Present an Honest View of God in The Bible. God's not the Visits Munster You make Him out to be. And He's not Hypocritical Either. You Just choose to Re frame, Distort, and Misrepresent what The Text says. Reducing Noah's Flood to God Murdering everyone, and making sure to say this Includes Pregnant Women and Innocent babies, isn't what The Flood was About. Just Like God "Ordering Genocide" is actual about War and was how All Wars were Fought in The Period. Of course You will say You Hate All Religions Equally and just Focus on Christianity as its Te Most Popular, too. But You'll also say Zeus is "Way cooler" than Jesus or Yahweh. So, its a Scam.

@stephs4647 I really only started reading the bible out of curiosity at the time, as I'd never done so before. What really pushed me into believing it was the real history supporting the resurrection. What Josephus and Tacitus wrote (historians from the 1st century) their writings give credibility to the gosepls. Also what happened to the Apostles. The fact that they were willing to be put to death for believing what they did. To me, is just clear evidence that what they saw was the truth.

A massive argument that non believers will say is that christianity is just something made up for power and control over people. When in reality, the apostles (and early church leaders for that matter) were persecuted for their belief, they gained no power at all, they suffered for what they believed. All of this just adds credibility that Jesus came back from the dead. The fact that the apostles, early church leaders and early Christians were persecuted and put to death for what they were saying. Let's not forget that christianity was illegal in the roman empire for its first 400 years

@@noah7477 Well, s/he's not entirely wrong. 6th Century Atheists were asking for evidence before the theists, possibly the Islamic invasion, slaughtered them. For clarification, "prakriti" is an old word for material energy. Sankyha Sanatana Dharma: Samkhya gave the following arguments against the idea of an eternal, self-caused, creator God: If the existence of karma is assumed, the proposition of God as a moral governor of the universe is unnecessary. For, if God enforces the consequences of actions then he can do so without karma. If however, he is assumed to be within the law of karma, then karma itself would be the giver of consequences and there would be no need of a God. Even if karma is denied, God still cannot be the enforcer of consequences. Because the motives of an enforcer God would be either egoistic or altruistic. Now, God's motives cannot be assumed to be altruistic because an altruistic God would not create a world so full of suffering. If his motives are assumed to be egoistic, then God must be thought to have desire, as agency or authority cannot be established in the absence of desire. However, assuming that God has desire would contradict God's eternal freedom which necessitates no compulsion in actions. Moreover, desire, according to Samkhya, is an attribute of prakriti and cannot be thought to grow in God. The testimony of the Vedas, according to Samkhya, also confirms this notion. Despite arguments to the contrary, if God is still assumed to contain unfulfilled desires, this would cause him to suffer pain and other similar human experiences. Such a worldly God would be no better than Samkhya's notion of higher self. Furthermore, there is no proof of the existence of God. He is not the object of perception, there exists no general proposition that can prove him by inference and the testimony of the Vedas speak of prakriti as the origin of the world, not God. Therefore, Samkhya maintained that the various cosmological, ontological and teleological arguments could not prove God. And the 11th Century Charvaka philosophy of Nastika (Statement of No Lord) Sanatana Dharma: Fire is hot, water cold, refreshingly cool is the breeze of morning; By whom came this variety? They were born of their own nature. This also has been said by Brhaspati: There is no heaven, no final liberation, nor any soul in another world, Nor do the actions of the four castes, orders, or priesthoods produce any real effect. If a beast slain as an offering to the dead will itself go to heaven, why does the sacrificer not straightway offer his father? If offerings to the dead produce gratification to those who have reached the land of the dead, why the need to set out provisions for travelers starting on this journey? If our offering sacrifices here gratify beings in heaven, why not make food offerings down below to gratify those standing on housetops? While life remains, let a man live happily, let him feed on butter though he runs in debt; When once the body becomes ashes, how can it ever return again? If he who departs from the body goes to another world, why does he not come back again, restless for love of his kinfolk? It is only as a means of livelihood that brahmins have established here abundant ceremonies for the dead- there is no other fruit anywhere. Hence for kindness to the mass of living beings we must fly for refuge in the doctrine of Carvaka.

If you were talking about some other youtuber's opinion, then you could say, "Well, I think..." But we are talking about the ETERNAL, ALL-POWERFUL, CREATOR of the universe. Who says, "Can the gods of the other nations (religions) tell you the future? No! They are mere lifeless idols." But I..." and then He proceeds to give us over one thousand prophecies in the Bible to demonstrate that God's word can be trusted. He also adds over one hundred scientific facts in scripture in all fields of science that were written down, thousands of years BEFORE the great scientists of the world would discover them. For example, up to a few hundred years ago surgeons used to wash their hands in basins of water, until they discovered it became a bowl of germs. They started using running water. The Bible instructed the use of running water thousands of years earlier. Soldiers used to die from disease, until they finally figured out to do their toilet business outside the camp. The Bible thousands of years before this, instructed the Israeli soldiers to take a small shovel outside the camp and bury their waste. Doctors used to drain blood (blood-letting) from sick patients, but thousands of years ago the Bible said, the life is in the blood. It wasn't until a couple hundred years ago, that oceanographers discovered mountains rising off the ocean floor, but the Bible thousands of years ago spoke of these mountains. The Bible says, "It is God who spreads out the stars." Astrophysicists now say the very fabric of space is spreading out taking the galaxies along for the ride. Up until about five hundred years ago, astronomers thought there was about 4,000-5,000 stars. But the Bible in Genesis compares the number of stars to the grains of sand along the seashore. Astronomers now say there are at least twice as many stars as sand on all the beaches of the world. Albert Einstein in his paper on relativity stated that matter, energy, space and time itself all had a beginning. But thousands of years earlier in Genesis chapter one the Bible says, "In the beginning (a reference to time having a beginning) God created the earth (matter) the heavens (space) and said let there be light (energy). I don't want to make this so long people won't read it, but you can go any Christian bookstore and find books on the hundreds and hundreds of fulfilled prophecies, in the Bible. There were 256 totally fulfilled prophecies concerning the birth, life, ministry, and death of Christ alone. So, God in HIS word has told of science thousands of years in advance of it being discovered by the great scientific minds of the world, He has spoken prophetic utterances that have come true, over and over again, in a literal, not metaphorical sense, again, to demonstrate His authority. He is God, we are His creation. This is His world, His universe. He is sovereign. Look, it's a great deal; surrender to His only means of forgiving our sins and reconciling ourselves to HIM, Christ dying on the cross, and reap eternal life, eternal peace, eternal health, and eternal joy. OR reject His offer of pardon and receive your just punishment. I choose Jesus Christ.

@@persephoneharrison3439 i am not at all religious and you are so wrong but you are wrong about a lot of things. Jesus was not god but a myth and wanted non-believers to burn in eternity!!!!!!!!!!! This is worse than abortion. If a person wants to accept that there was a supreme being there is nothing in the cosmological argument to indicate that the being would have any of the properties of humans. Scientists and mathematicians have no evidence to show whether the universe began from something or from nothing. God could fall under the Big Bang Theory but then God doesn't in any way need to be moral or like us or even good or could be good or evil in combination. There are hundreds of questionable moralities and dogmas found in the Old and even New Testaments. Upholding slavery or condemning billions of moral people to eternal damnation seems like a horrible thing to do. We are not even close to proving there is any kind of god much less a Christian god and evidence that points to there being a god unless you just mean "the original creator or Big Bang creator". You reject all gods but one; I reject all bases of science and intuition. what is good about faith based on no scientific or good evidence? There is no important free will not because of imaginary god but because OF GENETICS AND ENVIRONMENT TAKING UP THE FREE WILL SPACE.

Caden Evans I can only imagine you didn’t listen to the video at all. This is part of his speech, but he uses this to set up a larger discussion about how warped morality becomes when you use the bible and divine command theory. What’s more, he points out how there seems to be a blind spot in believers when evaluating good things and bad things. All good things are obviously gods blessings and fortune, while all bad things are some misunderstood part of some greater plan of gods that we can’t understand. This allows believers to justify any part of gods behavior that doesn’t align with his supposed good nature. Here’s a bombshell idea, perhaps god doesn’t exist and isn’t doing anything for anyone, and things just happen. Some things benefit us, and some things don’t, and there is no need to conjure up a deity, an agency that is responsible for both

Here is my rundown of the speech: 1 suffering exists because we had our chance at a life free of suffering but we disobeyed God and listened to the devil instead, also much suffering js inflicted by other humans, and God chooses not to stop that cause he gave us free will 2 the first like 3 minutes of this was him just pulling on heartstrings with dumb points 3 jerimiah 29 3 - "you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" people who aren't born into Christianity can still find it, that's what I did, his example of India is dumb. There are Christians in India and people in India still can find God. Its only on like an isolated island where it really matters, plus I saw a good argument, you go to hell if you reject God but if you never knew about God then you haven't yet rejected him. Plus people in acinet times were monotheistic even tho their cultures were polytheistc, likearistotle and I believe also plato 4 He didnt create the isolation of Hindus, he put humans, or rather people moved to India and they created Hinduism and he didnt engineer their deaths, necessarily. His plans are unknowable and I am not going going speak for Him, I also think that God doesn't involve Himself too much in the world as it isn't meant to be amazing, we forsook a life without suffering, He let's us live on this world and hopes we find Him 5 you have to repent for your sins, if you only repent on death row your gonna be there for a while. Also you have to truly belive in God if that man truly believes, then his death penalty is being payed for by Jesus, he is being allowed to forfeit the punishment because God in human form takes it instead 6 it has a lot to do with moral accountability, but the problem is, is that every human in the eyes of God is bad, name someone you know who has never: Used the Lords name in vain Lied Stolen Looked at a women and lusted for her These things show that everyone is bad compared to God, so the reason why only Christians go to heaven is because they are the only people whose debts are being payed, its not just about Him being egotistical 7 lol. An atheist who probably believes in subjective morality talking about morals. 8 God is indeed mysterious and many of his plans are unknowable 9 I don't necessarily believe that everytime something good happens to me that it is God 10 I don't think crimes like witchcraft are imaginary, many of those things about slavery are taken out of context or badly translated and ect 11 What God does is good and what He says to do is good 12 retarded but classic 'sky daddy' argument 13 about the muslim things, God never commanded to kill civilians and ect or to kill yourself and killing is also wrong 14 it about blind faith you idiot, but we do have the records of his miracles,also he had to perform miracles then to get peoples attention so they would listen to what he was teaching that was new, also miracles happen today 15 if you even believe in evolution, you can still say that God planted the seeds for human life and knew that we would eventually evolve, you can't explain something coming from nothing in your stupid ideology tho. 16 Christianity is not a cult of human sacrifice. Humans aren't allowed to kill other humans, we can't sacrifice and that is not what God wants, "for God so loved the world that he gave his one beggoten son so that all who believe in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life". John 3:16 God loved the world, so He have his son (who is as much God as human) To pay for the sins, like someone who admits to your crimes in order to protect you, or someone who pays off your fine, there is no sacrificing, going by that you could say that anyone who hurts themselves for your protection are human sacrifices, no one would say a soldier protecting his country is a human sacrifice they are just a good person, and if you donthink that if the definition of a human sacrifice then saying that Jesus died as a human sacrifice wouldn't even be a bad thing. After this much of the same, more and more strawmaning and talking about morals.

I must say he makes some amazing points and he does it in such a way where he isn't confrontational as quite a lot of atheists are when trying to make a point. I will admit, I get confused because I consider myself a believer in God but I am a believer with so many questions that never seem to get answered. I've been part of several church groups and none of which worked out for me. I always felt as if I could not be myself, I felt judged and I felt almost as if the other people in the group were fake. They seem to be showing their perfect side and on their best behavior. I try, as a believer to fit it with them but I simply don't. I once told a fellow "Christian" that one of my hobbies is brewing beer and he went on this rant about alcoholism and how he doesn't drink and he made me feel like I was doing something wrong yet, he was overweight, he drank a ton of coke and ate a lot of fast food. It was a clear case of holier than thou and this wasn't the first time. I have made friendships with people in the past never asking them whether or not they believed in God because that didn't matter to me. What mattered was that they were kind and yet, some of my fellow "Christians" can't get 2 sentences in when meeting someone new before asking them if they attend a Christian Church. Why is that? That seems to be a case where they are judging them but isn't that something we as "Christians" are told never to do? I am just confused because I see both sides.

A lot of people can’t live with the fact that you cannot explain something. For example, where do we go when we die. We ll never know , it is impossible. But religion answers it. Most of the religions I d say since I don’t know every religion. You may have to consider the fact that somethings can’t be answered. And if u struggle with that, keep on the easier path, that is believing in the religions we created, to explain our questions.

Exactly. Many Christians can't defend their position using facts, evidence, and logic. Only faith. So when you question their beliefs or point out flaws and contradictory facts to their belief, they become uncomfortable, irritated, and sometimes angry. The irony is, they believe that what they believe is the absolute truth. So I'm puzzled why their "truth" has a hard time standing in the face of questions and doubt. They want to get the last word in most debates and get pissy if they can't. Faith can move mountains but it can't stand in the face of doubt? That in itself speaks volumes about their beliefs.

As a Christian here is my answer to this "demolition": 1. argument from suffering: let's suppose the atheist version of human nature is true - we are just meat wandering through the universe without any higher purpose. Therefore our life here doesn't matter at all, because our ridiculously short life is all that we get (btw the odds that you would be born are approximately 1: 400,000,000,000,000; if you think you just spawned into the Universe by chance and you do not think that there was a higher power supervising that, you are in wrong, my brother, but we could make a separate argument here *for* the existence of God. The Christian/theist answer is making much more sense. Suffering makes people virtuous. If we are virtuous there is much higher probability of us getting into heaven, even if we sinned before, because in the times of suffering many people turn their backs on atheism. There is an afterlife and because of it our suffering makes sense, that vision is much more optimistic than atheist's. They just created problem, to which they can not make an alternative response. Moreover, as we learn in Genesis, humans chose to learn what evil is, and here are the fruits of it (just in the case you would say "why would we pay for crimes of our ancestors": History of Adam and Eve could be interpreted parabolically AND world without free will, and therefore without without evil would be much worse place, because we would just be God's puppets). 2. argument about different religions and people who didn't get to know Jesus: The point is that: no matter where you were born, you could be saved if you were listening to your conscience. Not every person could read the Gospels and therefore get to know Jesus and the Church has laid it's opinion on this topic in CCC 847, so Sam Harris is either deliberately misleading, or he just didn't do his homework 3. argument about a person on death row, who turned back to Christ: He paid his price on this world (though unjustly, I never will think that death penalty is a just punishment, he could get life sentence for example). In my personal opinion, if somebody, even after the most awful life, changes, he should be rewarded and the reward would be just, because there is never too late to change oneselve's life. And the reward would be eternal 4. argument about Bible supposedly supported slavery & killing for imaginary crimes e.g. witchcraft Exodus 21:16: He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death. Philemon 15-16 Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever- no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord. Many warriors that fought for abolishment of slavery, including MLK Jr. did so on Biblical grounds (btw he was a Christian pastor). The second part refers to Old Testament's book. This specifically was a penal direction which DOES NOT bend Christians, therefore I don't know why he uses it against Christianity. There are three types of law found in Old Testament: penal, civil, and moral. Only moral applies to Christians, and therefore we do not do witchcraft, simple as that. 5. Supposedly jihad/killing in the name of Jesus would be good, that's obviously not true: Matthew 5:9: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Matthew 5:44: "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." CCC 2304, CCC 2306, CCC 2262 6. Supposedly there's bad evidence for God's existence, but you (atheists) are the ones that believe that we just spawned from nothing, doesn't have any purpose, and everything, including consciousness, moral law etc. is just made by nature, we went from a bacteria to conscious, most developed intelectually species, just by a chance. And you believe that you are here by a chance, because there were 1: 400,000,000,000,000 chance for you to be born. + get acquainted with evidence for resurrection, if you are an atheist you don't have to believe in it immediately, I hope you will find your way to Jesus, but just admit it is more probable for it to have happened than not. 7. John 3:16 Everybody deserves hell, because there is no person without a fault on their own. Jesus sacrificed his own life, not so that everybody would be in heaven, and the gates would be wide open, but to make it possible for us to get into Heaven, even though we strive with sin every single day. You can call it a human sacrifice, I call it a God, who loves his creation so much, that even although we all are imperfect, we all can be with God eternally.

@@zhxilywe can’t prove that god doesn’t exist but we also can’t prove that he does. i could say i saw a talking unicorn in the forest and no one would be able to prove that i didn’t. we can disprove many things from the bible though. for example, the bible says earth is only 6,000 years old when actually earth is over 4 billion years old. adam and eve are disproved by evolution. earth wasn’t made in 6 days, it took millions of years to form. there’s also evidence that supports the big bang theory. now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that a god doesn’t exist or that there isn’t a higher power or spiritual meaning to life. science explains how the world and universe came to be, whereas religion and spirituality can explain why. the bible isn’t factual, and there is no proof of god. there’s not proof that he doesn’t exist, but there is proof that the bible is inaccurate to how earth actually came to be. but of course no one truly knows what happens when we die until we die. so you can believe whatever you want, but at the end of the day there is no proof of god, what happens after death is a mystery to all of the living.

Just go to hell, because they sinned and they couldn’t go to heaven since Jesus wasn’t born yet. But Christian preachers also claim that because of Jesus dying on the cross. Is why we can go to heaven. So does that mean that everyone before Jesus was born. Just went to hell? Since there was no Jesus? And if you sin after repenting and giving your life to Jesus, what happens when you sin, like if you sin by accident. Since it’s bound to happen at least once because humans are not perfect. And it doesn’t make sense why God would make us have the flesh of the devil normally. Wouldn’t he want us to have the flesh of the Holy Spirit so we don’t sin and be perfect?

I think personally that in both the cases made for and against Christianity, there is often a rather strange perception that either party has of the religion. The Bible other than other religious manifests is pretty much open to some degree of interpretation. And I find it odd that people in modern day societies would still choose to take every word literally, as if they would be reading a scientific report, when in fact, they are reading a highly complex and symbolistic peace of philosophy and stories intertwined. I do not think that believing in hell is still sensible today, for example. However, Christianity is not designed to be interpreted in such a narrow sense. In 1 Corinthians 15, 42-50 it is clearly stated that the resurrection is not meant to be physical, but affecting your entire being, the latter consisting of the soul and body's transcendant true shared nature, which exists in an alternate plane of existance. This realization of one's true self is a shared fact with Buddism and Platons philosophy, as it applies to both the philosophic world of the ideas behind things as well as the finding of yourself via meditation etc. in Buddism. The Bible states, that in order to achieve this act of self-realization, one must practize the act of threefold love: Love all others, love yourself, love God. This practice, if theoretically realized by all, would create a kingdom of God on earth, which was Jesus' intention. And wether or not you want to call it that, or rather utopia, wether you want to call your true self the Holy Ghost or not, these things hold some certain truth in them, which does not have to be religious. Christianity is one possible approach to manifesting these truths through symbols in order to make them more understandable

Final. There is no evidence (scientific) for or against God. So to find out if God exists we must ask ourselves if there is a reason we would be on earth and God would not be here. Then we would take the answers to that question and would see if logic says that it is true or if logic says the other side is true. It is very logical that we would be separated from God because God must be benevolent for him to exist. If you want to go study a little bit of Theology and then come back it would save me from typing a book so God is benevolent and God loves us enough to give us a chance to keep our souls by putting us on Earth the only caveat is that we must prepare our soul to be able to face God and not be destroyed because of benevolent God Must Destroy sin or evil if it becomes face with it Just sitting with the logic on both sides neither side wins until you apply the Bible I was an atheist for my entire life until I read the Bible a few years ago the Bible actually provides all of the logic needed to be able to prove that God does exist and it tips the scale into God's favor

Religion is a clearly a mechanism for survival. We as social beings that rely on each other need a focal point. That could be simply survival at a given time. As we evolved and survival got easier that focus shifted from survival to a universal ideology of living one’s life so their eternal after life will be wonderful. Why? Because people are naturally selfish. Just like every animal on the planet. There is no good or bad. Only popular opinion. And that opinion has changed dramatically over time and differs greatly depending on culture. Nothing has killed more people throughout history than religion. It’s time to evolve.

@S I study basically on my own, from what I remember watching this video over a month ago is that Harris talks about Hell. So Hell being made up by the Catholic Church just got shifted over with Martin Luthor at the split of Christianity. But sects like Jehovah Witness, Seventh Day adventists and some others do not believe that Hell is for humans. The Bible is CLEAR> Hell was created for the Devil and his followers (Fallen Angels). Never was hell ever a place for humans that is why no Jewish person believes in it even though the Christian Religion comes from their writings. You would think they would understand their own texts. People that are chosen to live in the next life are resurrected and those who are not, die forever. They no longer exist. Think about it, how can God wipe away every tear when you know your loved ones are burning in hell forever? it makes no logical sense. If you have questions or scriptures that confuse you I can clear it up easy. let me know.

S here’s the thing about Purgatory. Jesus referred to death as a sleep. They were 12 people that died throughout the Scriptures that were resurrected and not one of them mentioned anything about where they went. The Scriptures are clear that we lay in the ground dead until God resurrects us. But since the church thought that something had to happen when you died you had to go somewhere immediately. So they invented purgatory for a place to go until the end days. But you’re right it’s far more logical than living 20 years And then being put into hell for eternity LOL

He “demolished” Christianity? I remember how I used to look up to this guy as a teenager, when I too was an atheist. At 21 I found Jesus through supernatural experiences and I did not deserve his mercy.. after all of the things I said about him. When I listen to this man now I see an arrogant, angry man who represents the very essence of man’s compulsion to be better than God. “Why do children die all day” is God killing children? Genesis is quite clear, we brought death upon ourselves and we have embraced it. When children die, they automatically enter Heaven, they are HIS children until the age of corruption regardless of where they come from. Hate to say it but take a look around the world, we love killing each other. When I read the Gospels I see the words of a God who laid out exactly what humanity would need to do to free ourselves from the bondage of sin and death. Hated his message of love and peace so much that we nailed him up to a cross. Sam hammered those bolts into Jesus wrist and he has absolutely no idea, I pray he finds the Lord before his end.

Atheist detective: "Sorry but I'm not fully convinced about your theory on Suspect X and since you gave me no absolute proof I will reject your thesis". Christian detective: "Fine then. Who do you think is the killer? Tell me what's your evidence and why he did it, in your view." Atheist detective: "I never stated that there is a killer. I don't need evidence. It's you who made the claim that Suspect X is the killer". Christian detective: "Well I told you what I believe about Suspect X and why. That's the most plausible option for me." Atheist detective: "But I don't believe what you believe". Christian detective: "I got that. I'm asking you WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE?" Atheist detective: "Hey, slow down, all I said was that I LACK a belief. I'm an atheist detective. I don't make claims. You did. The burden of proof is on you!" Christian detective: "Are you saying that NOBODY killed SOMEBODY?! There must be a killer out there..." Atheist detective: "Why does it HAVE to BE a killer out there? We will never know for sure. I won't make claims I can't back up" Christian detective: "Because there is a dead body....?" Atheist detective: "Maybe he killed himself or something else happened" Christian detective: "But we can clearly see that he's been hit with this very complex weapon and that he could not have hit himself with it" Atheist detective: "Why does it have to be hit by someONE? Maybe someTHING happened like a random event that made that weapon hit him and that's how he died. Why does it have to be a killer?" Christian detective: "Because this very complex weapon is purposufelly built to kill. And the only person we know who has the skills to build such weapon is Suspect X" Atheist detective: "Maybe that weapon has no maker. It could have self assembled over a long period of time given the right components and the right amount of electricity and magnetic force applied on to them. Then a random uncaused event happened which triggered that weapon which killed that person. Oh btw, we can even calculate the likelihood of this happening and is somewhat around 0,0000000000001%." Christian detective: "That's the most ridiculous theory I've ever heard. What's your evidence for all this nonsense??" Atheist detective: "I don't need any evidence... I didn't make any claims! it's you who have the burden of proof!" Christian detective: "Well it sure does sound to me like you have to assume a lot of improbable and honestly rather silly things in order to imply that there is no killer.... Why would you even believe in something statistically impossible?" Atheist detective: "As I told you many times over, I DO NOT BELIEVE in anything! I LACK a belief, remember??"

@@sw123n7 CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS: We must simply follow the evidence where it leads. Since life arose from the non-living... Since laws regulate every process in our universe... And since COMPLEX ORDERED INFORMATION arose from complete chaos... The best most plausible and most rational theory ever is that: AN INTELLIGENT MIND DESIGNED IT Period. ATHEISTS SCIENTISTS WHO DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THE RESPONIBILITY OF A GOD EXISTING: We are well aware that life and informations CANNOT arise from random unguided processes and dead matter, therfore we now came to believe in PANSPERMIA: life and information came from Aliens (since abiogenesis is not scientificably believable). That is so rational! Meanwhile other atheists, as to not be so ridiculed: We must believe in MULTIVERSES. We are the smartest ones! If there are infinite possibilities out there, then there is no beginning no end and no statistic! The fine tuning argument and the design arguments do not apply anymore: everything is possible given an infinite number of attempts in an infinite amount of time! Hurray! QUESTION: WHO ARE THE BELIEVERS OF THE THREE AND WHO ARE THE RATIONALS?
