As far as I can say. Sam is a good human being trying to make sense of what's going on around us, whether it's in the name of religion or not, and that's not bad, I guess. No doubt he is very intelligent, but he is very ignorant at the same time. Especially when he refers to Islam , it clearly shows that he is either very ignorant of Islam or he is purposely distorting the truth. My advice to Sam is better reread the Quran if you have read it and try to understand it without any sort of prejudice. If you make a genuine effort, I'm sure you'll learn a lot and will change your views and perspective on Islam. By the way, I'm not trying to say anything about the average Muslim you encounter, but about Islam.

Sam is a highly intelligent person and a great orator. Thank God he's an Atheist. 🇦🇺 😊

Now more than ever before, we need science and reason.

It's SO obvious! EVERYTHING needs a CREATOR!!! Er...uh...except the Creator....um...let me get back to you on that.

I don’t think religion is really the problem, it’s more religious fundamentalism, especially radical Islam that is a problem. The fundamentals of Islam are not peaceful.

As for public demonstrations of any superstition, even the xtians' guru, JC, said: "“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."

I left bible for Quran in 2002. Sam is right Bible errors are enormous deterrent to believing in bible

Unfortunately man’s EGO focuses 90% on why their religion is right and the other religions are wrong. There are many of the same spiritual truths in all religions that are the most important part of religion. My advice to anyone who is in doubt about if they know God is to forget everything written or spoken by man and simply be still. Remember every religious book you “believe “ in is written by man. The evolution of man and religion or Gods should be studied by everyone. By the way I believe in God because of my experience with God, and belief is not the right word, I know. I use the word or sound “God” just because everyone knows that I’m speaking about the spirit of the universe . Man made God in his own image. If you are a religious person and are ever offended or upset about something someone says against your beliefs, I can tell you confidently you do not know God. Why? Because you are lost in EGO.

Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊

Love this! Thanks!

How come that Cristian freak has to keep interrupting let the man answer the question

(^○^) It's not moral for God to put evidence of himself in the biology. The atheists were tricked into exploring that and they found no evidence of God in the biology. Now that it's been explored we can do disclosure now. They think everything is worth doing once. This is an exceptional planet that explored everything possible but it gave us problems that most planets don't experience. People are lost in a dead universe and it makes bad outcomes. Disclosure will solve all our problems.

＼(^^)／ The human body is burly, gnarly and surly like a fractal.

(^ー^) Natural selection is the character flaw in evil that is integrity is more important than life otherwise evolution is tragic circumstances with nothing intelligent happening. Almost everyone survive until they reproduce. Nothing is getting selected except for the character flaw in evil. I found a replacement for the character flaw in evil that I liked but God makes me forget things that will cause me trouble.

(^-^)/ waves are conservation of anarchy. Only a created universe can conserve anarchy. Theory of relator that not made public yet is a theory of anarchy that can change waves so you can make love on the guitar instead of crying. People will feel affection again and become nonviolent and civilized. Child abuse corrupts affection. If theirs an easy remedy for corrupted affection they will stop Child abuse because it will be a risky waste of time. Theory of relator is the last big science idea. Too much science will have us lost forever. We can be endlessly creative with only that.

Sam makes some great arguments but the response from his opponents would be good to hear. No matter how wrong they may be. Listening only to Sams arguments feels a bit too much like idol worshiping. He's not God ya'know

Whoever reads those compendia of lies and atrocityies (da bahble, kouran, etc) CRITICALLY, must come to the inescapable conclusion that religion is the worst barbarity that mankind has inflicted upon itself.

Lol Shapiro is a racist lol how can he even be in a religious discussion

Harris for Satan 😂

People of God doesn’t care to be presidents of universities lol governments are rules by Satan wake up people

Jesus said don’t follow religion follow Him cause He’s the ONLY way to the Father.

Every disciple died because they knew Jesus was the Son of Man. People don’t die if something is a lie. History is recorded and this guy doesn’t have spiritual ears to hear.

Jesus was not real. He is used symbolically in a work of fiction written centuries after the supposed events took place by the very people portrayed as the bad guys in the story. You two should study history a little

I don't believe in DOGMA'S.

The equation for religion: Religion = 100% BS.

Here's the thing: there's no chocolate without vanilla. Chocolate without vanilla flavoring it is inedible. Sure, some people eat cacao nibs, but I've done that and 99 percent of people prefer the blend of chocolate, vanilla, salt, and sugar.

Granted that there is no God, how did this universe and life on this earth come into existence automatically? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 If religion walks only on one foot, atheism creeps on its belly.

One of the things Religion does get right is its stance on sodomy.

Great talk!! Unfortunately, the only people watching these kind of videos are non b.s. believers like myself.

My mother used to say, "You can wish in one hand and shit in the other hand and we'll see which one gets full first."

I'm confused as to why Sam, at the very end, mention Buddhism a long side Christianity and Judaism. What I have loved about Buddhism is that it insists that you do not believe things solely on faith or by authority. If anyone has another perspective as to why he lumped Buddhism in with those religions I am all ears. That one statement lost Sam a lot of respect from me.

9:29 yes we’re under attack you dumb ass. Women have to have old white men decide what health care options they have with in which states, we imprison thousands upon thousands of addicts who need medical help because drug use is a “sin,” we have to make tax exemptions for places that teach children that modern cosmology is false and that the gd planet is 6000 years old.

Thank you for coming forward Sam. I am tired of being told that I am going to hell if I don't conform.

I love the way Sam brilliantly makes so much sense with humor.

If I ruled the world I would tax the shit out of religions and donate it to scientific research. If you want to be crazy your gonna have to pay for it.😃

As our understanding of who and what God is, is sketchy at best, pretty much any depiction of God that didn't come from Jesus, is going to be a straw-man God. Blaming God for children dying is a convenient trope. Promoters of the Bible as "the word of God" do themselves nor God any favors by it. Done of course, to spur folks to follow it, but the shelf-life of that idea has expired. But rather than question the theologians concepts of God, which in many cases is still tainted with god-of-the-gaps mentality of God being immediately at hand causing physical calamities, atheists like Sam are happy to hang that failing around the neck of the religionist. And then, to add insult to injury, play like that's the only definition of God possible, and given any illogical depiction of God, use that as evidence for the non-existence of God. (Rightly believing that God should at the very least, be logical.) Admittedly, I'm happy to have Sam put the Bible in its place, as there is now a superior text on who and what God is, and where he(she) is: The Urantia Book, which is a suitable replacement for the Bible.

Stil the most sane voice on this topic.

I like Sam and always enjoy his presentations. I'm just barely a believer. But why does he spend so much time speaking about religion when there are some other topics.

Reality can be tricky, but not that tricky...!

Christopher Hitchens makes a fantastic point when he says “why would god show himself to a Bronze Age illiterate Palestine. This area and it’s people have been infested with war then and now. It’s obviously fake and man made. God might exist but it is not known by any religion that we know of. Trash story riddled with human bullshit like virginity and sacrifice.

There's a particularly vile verse in the Bible, Psalm 137:9 Something along the lines of "blessed is he who smashes the infants against the stones" Like, the fuck you say lol ? The pastor isn't talking about that one at church lmao he cherrypickin tf outta that book

Many good, meaningful things can be realized WITHOUT religious beliefs. As an atheist, I find much wonder and meaning in life and Nature. It's a highly individual thing

Poor sad man.

I died for ten minutes saw nothing felt nothing do not remember jack ezpz!

There are people who won't see a doctor when they have serious symptoms thinking that the Lord will take care of them. I know one
