I always wondered why god doesn't intract with us like he did in the bible because god never existed only in people mind

It's quite simple. God was created by mankind not the other way around

Who cares

I was a believer until I read and studied the bible....Then I realized....What a bunch of bullshit! How could people believe this crap..Brinwashed!

If there was “proof” of God’s existence we would all be thieists. Is that a valid claim? If it was there would be no flat earth earthers for example. So I am afraid you now have the burden of proof to support that claim.

Parsimony. A universe without Zeus is simpler

Spiritual blindness has cure. Seek it.

According to scripture, "only a fool says in his heart that there is no God."

It's weird that you have to share the reason why you are an atheist. What is the reason for sharing? You said you don't want to convert anyone. Ok, so what is the main reason why you want to share? Or may be there is no reason at all. You just want to waste other people time. 😂

What is to be done about the rising Christian Nationalism. It may not be good enough to just be irreligious. The Far Right hath no mercy. You won’t be able to reason away the threat of insanity.

This is a great summary and I can agree with almost everything. Man-made religion, the many gods of which mist believers pick but one... Only the speculation about a prior universe with different properties was not helpful, I think. We do not know the first cause of the universe and I find it best to simply admit that.

For me Atheism doesn't make sense at all because it doesn't COINCIDE with my daily experiences. Evolution actually teaches the OPPOSITE of what I experience (IN REALITY) on a day to day basis. Here's what I mean. An Atheist is someone who believes that "something came from nothing." I'll repeat that again, an Atheist is someone who believes that "SOMETHING … CAME … FROM … NOTHING." They actually believe that EVERYTHING came from nothing. This notion not only contradicts how I experience my life but it also defies ALL logic and reason. What makes this so unreal is an Atheist would never put that belief into practice. Another words, an Atheist way of life (if you look at the way they live) contradicts their "Evolutionary beliefs" because they would NEVER be able to live out their faith consistently. To say you believe that something can come from nothing but live your life AS IF you need a creative mechanism/being for something to happen is inconsistent. Now within the Christian worldview, we DO NOT believe that something can come out of nothing but rather you need a creative being for there to be something. Something will never come out of nothing no matter how much time you give it. To say all this happened by happenstance, chance and luck all from nothing is the very pinnacle of "BLIND" faith for me. It actually takes MORE faith to believe in Evolution than for God to exist simply because of the fact that Evolution has no creative being for something to happen. This is why I believe Jesus is REAL and he said who he says he is. For me I feel like there HAS to be another reason why so many people are opposed to God existing, and I think there is. Let us be honest here, most of us are not on a TRUTH quest, but were on a HAPPINESS quest, so were just going to believe whatever we think is going to make us happy even if it's something as ridiculous as believing that you can get "something from nothing." I think Napoleon nailed it right on the head when he said this: "Man will believe in anything, as long as it's not in the Bible." What I think Napoleon what getting at here is the reason why people don't want to believe that God exist is NOT because of some intellectual reason, but rather it's a HEART issue. And the proof is actually in the pudding, for YEARS scientist use to thought that the universe was eternal. That it was ALWAYS there. That it never had a beginning. They had NO PROBLEMS whatsoever with that idea. HOWEVER NOW with the recent discovery of how the universe DID in fact had a beginning, NOW they are OPPPOSED of an "idea" that an Eternal God might exist. Take note of that, they had NO PROBLEMS believing that the universe was ETERNAL and that it was ALWAYS there, but now they HATE the idea of an Eternal God existing that has no beginning and no end. I find that fascinating and how that correlates with what Napoleon said and what the bible tells us that we are actually hostile towards God. So here is a summary of why I don't believe in Evolution and why the Christian worldview makes so much more sense to me. A. Genesis 1: "God created the heavens and the earth." B. Evolution: "Nothing created the heavens and the earth." Guess which one TOTALLY coincides with my day to day activities and what coincides with everyone else's day to day experiences. Listen, I know someone is going to come up with some sort of scientific reason as to how you can get something from nothing and if you are, don't bother. The reason why I say that is because you can find an argument for anything. I've heard countless of debates and if you wanted to argue that the sky isn't blue but rather red than you can probably do that. That's why we have people who believe the earth is flat despite of what they see in outer space. Anyone can make an argument out of anything, BUT there is one thing that you will never be able to do, and that is make an argument that contradicts: pure "sound, logic and reason", and Atheism is DEFINITELY not any of those. Something coming from nothing? That is not only outside of logic and reason, but it defies ALL logic and reason. I really hope that this post will bring at least one person to Christ while there is still time. God bless you all.

You're an atheist because you choose to believe what you desire, your beliefs have nothing to do with proof because nobody on Earth can prove the Origin of life so push lies as excuses all you want, you choose your own destiny.

Thank you so much for your presentation. I found it very helpful and inspiring. Former protestant minister (retired) Atheist.

I tried to be religious than i realise its just type of OCD

Thank you Jesus Christ for giving all of us a chance for salvation...

I pray that all of you change your mind before your time is up...

Wow, just stumbled across this, but dude is right.

are you an atheist because you have atheist thoughts?

Youre an atheist because you have faith in the illogical notion that existence is possible with "no God" to cause it. I'd like to see you prove it.

Maybe God Dont like you. So He hides from you

You are as mixed up as your mentor Hitchins. It is a common deceit to use the word religion and then go on to attack Christianity and then conflate that with some of the most unsavory aspects of other religions. A further intellectual dishonestly is to use the evolutionist's timeline to accuse God of neglect. Finally you completely misunderstand the purpose of your existance. Do you really think that God is interested in whether you believe in Him or not? The reason you exist is so that your soul can come to understand your place in God's creation and ultimately share it with Him. It requires humility and contrition. Jesus is your proof and your guide, you will meet Him one day I hope that when you do you will have learned how He values you.

The make believe of society is what provokes us to grow. The ability to adapt is change and experience. God is an experience far into the future. Atheism is an experience which comes in time but its temporary and works for the present.

Christians have met the burden of proof. deconstructingchristiandeconstruction.blogspot.com/2024/05/i-hear-there-is-no-evidence-for-god.html

Your argument I understand, and you will not be in a correct position with that reasoning. I know God exist, and you don't help anyone with your video. God manifested Himself. I know God has grow back an eye. You are not informed enough.

I was an Atheist. But I fought against my predesposition, and SOUGHT God. After 1 year, God manifested to me. I know now, I know. No matter what you say, what so called evidence show, I know. Yes, He spoke, yes, He made me aware that He is beyound anything we think God is. You are not Seeking truth the way it shall be done.

Atheism is part of the antichrist spirit

Rich coming from a whistle while the grooming gangs operate unchallenged for decades Brit.

All good except that in your thought experiment, no, I’d never be in a position to know I wasn’t experiencing a psychotic episode. And even aside from that I would never ‘worship’ a thing that made the universe as it is.

God has spoken to no living person. Though many claim they have heard the voice in their head. Perhaps Abraham, Moses and Ezekiel were possible candidates. Tent dwellers, probably illiterate, given the responsibility to spread the word of God. A tough job in those days. Today we have WiFi but it seems no deity has figured out how to use it and give us all a World Wide Epiphany.!

Still waiting for the Hebrew god Yahweh and his son Yeshua/Jesus to make an appearance after waiting two thousand years. Still nothing but unproven claims and huge piles of man made books. What is the problem?

With so many different religions all believing by faith in a God or Gods that they all think is/are real, yet teaching different doctrines at the same time, the question then begs, "What can anybody not believe by faith, and does this belief make anything true". This, l'd really love to know. In the absence of evidence truth is uncertain. Therefore, judgement or any decision making must be suspended. For this is the most honest thing a person can ever do. Anything more than this is merely presumptuous speculations that the religious world call faith. No wonder knowledge is the greatest enermy of faith and any religion!

Agnosticism the default position. When i was 6 yrs old i was an agnostic. When i was 7 yrs old my mama told me God exists so I became a Deist. Mamas dont lie

As an atheist, I've always viewed religion as ignorant men “making shit up" attempting to control the simple minded based on delusions of "magical sky fairies” through an immoral, divisive, hypocritical, bullshit, theology ripping-off billions of tax-free dollars from the gullible.

No more videos?

Depends how you define "God". As Arthur C. Clarke wrote: *_"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."_* So if that fits YOUR definition of a god then that's one. If you think about how technology is advancing at an exponential rate what would we be like in 1,000 or a million years? If you took a cell phone (and it was connected to the Internet somehow) back 200 years, people would think you're a god.

I'm an exvie from 2 denominations and loved this.

Just found your channel, and love it.

Just discovered this channel. Great work! Crazy religious beliefs - where to start? How about most of Roman Catholic dogma? Virgin birth, the second coming, transubstantiation, original sin, exorcism, angels. Heaven, Hell, the Trinity and so on.

I am a Christian and I must say they my faith deepened with archeological literature that complimented Hebrew scripture.

Atheism is the most empty and boring group a person can be apart of though. Atheists offer no evidence they are correct to be living as atheists and they look forward to and expect "just death" when they die = empty and boring! So just because you may have lost your faith in Christianity does not mean you should be an atheist.There are still many other different kinds of groups instead not so empty and boring.

Well said! For me, I'm an atheist because religion is exactly how you would expect it to look if it were man-made. If there really were one true religion, you'd at least expect some kind of internal consistency, or that non-adherents of that True Religion would have religious experiences of the true one. For example, if Christianity were true, you'd see Hindus experiencing Jesus when having religious experiences, and that doesn't seem to happen.

I'm quite exactly on the same line, for every argument you lighted up here.

If there would be evidence for the existence of a god it would be worldnews and it would be published in ALL the scientific papers all over the world! Because it would shake the entire scientific and medical world to its foundations! There have been thousands of gods people believed in or still believe. All gods are man-made concepts but have never been proven to exist in reality. All religions are man-made too and often with rules and doctrines in favour of men! But there is not a shred of evidence for the existence of ANY god or Allah or whatever name they gave to their non-existing celestial dictator! The god and religion people believe in is in 99% of the cases a pure geographical and temporal coincidence! It's all about brainwashing from childhood on, social pressure and often oppression, a lack of a PROPER scientific education, especially about evolution and cosmology, and often a lack of reasoning abilities and critical thinking skills! ALL religions are convinced that all the o5her religions are false and I agree with ALL of them!

Anti Vaxxers - 99% believed in choice... BTW... they turned out right and common sense is finally prevailed after the damage has been done and a lot of people got really rich... Same with Pro Trumpers. Look what has happened under Biden.

One question, when you say that you believe "God or god(s)" do not exist, specifically what meaning are you giving to that ambiguous "God or god" concept you are using? Seems like that is about the most ambiguous word in all of language and nobody could really know what meaning is intended unless you offer that. Lest everyone be confused.

Absolutely spot on with you're analyzing of these crazy religious beliefs .I would add another one Jehovah,s witnesses, imagine you,ve just had a accident and you need a blood transfusion, sorry I will have to die , as I'm a Jehovah idiot

Jesus is like a Christian Gucci. It's just branding to evangelicals.

Because it's all too common. Murders are pretty much the only thing you go to prison for nowadays. Judges seem to be under this weird impression, that criminals are in fact victims, and that punishing them is somehow wrong. I had a lecture by a Judge the other day, about a case of hers, where some people were on trial for slavery. Actual, literal slavery. Keeping an underage girl as a captive to do housework, for so long, that her teeth rotted and fell out. The prescribed sentence for that is 3 - 15 years (which is itself absurd, it should clearly be death by hanging), and the judge gave them 3 years to the main perpetrator, and 1 year to his parents. It's insane. And it's going on all the time - it's why California is turning into a failed state, practically.
