Your example of the microchip is only really convincing to people who already believe in God: "I believe in Instagram but not the microchip" doesn't make sense because the microchip is necessitated in the creation of phones which access Instagram. On the other hand the Christian God and the teachings of the Gospel don't actually need to be truely divine or supernatural for people to believe them and form institutions around them. Therefore someone can think that Christianity inspired something they find valuable and still think the truth claims of Christianity (Jesus's divinity, the Virgin birth, the resurrection, the legitimacy of the old testament, etc) are not true. For instance, if tomorrow the people who created Instagram announced their reason and motivation for doing so was some never before heard of folk spirit, that wouldn't mean you'd therefore need to believe in what motivated them to believe in the result. What you are really arguing is that if they are conservatives then they, in practice, have Christian values which may be true in many case. But believing in values doesn't mean you have to, or that it's possible for you, to believe in the God that is said to have supposed them. Beyond this they may also lean conservative for non-explicitly Christian reasons. If they live in the US they may be Republicans because they are weathy and want a lower tax rate... if someone detests immigrants (not saying conservatives do generally) perhaps theyd vote for a conservative who wants to limit immigration, if they hate criminals and feel no forgiveness toward them at all perhaps theyd vote conservative because they want a candidate who is incredibly punitive over rehabilitatative, or wants to expand the death penalty. These aren't exactly Christian motivations, but in the US they are could clearly motivate someone to vote for the conservative party. All and all although i mostly disagree i think you have an interesting idea and i enjoyed watching.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment. As to your first point, you seem to be saying that Christian beliefs are only a motivation for creating Western institutions, when I believe that they are more than that. Christian beliefs are metaphysically necessary preconditions for supposing a Christian morality. Also, I agree with the bit about the example, but I think you may misunderstand what I am trying to do. I am not trying to objectively prove the truth claims of Christianity, I am trying to point of the inconsistency with believing in Christian values without also believing in Christian doctrine. So yes, my example fails to logically prove the divine origin/objective truth of Christianity, but it succeeds in pointing out the inconsistency between doctrine and ethics. When you say: "What you are really arguing is that if they are conservatives then they, in practice, have Christian values which may be true in many case. But believing in values doesn't mean you have to, or that it's possible for you, to believe in the God that is said to have supposed them", this is exactly what I'm arguing against. An atheist may be a cultural christian, but they have no way of explaining WHY their ethical beliefs are the way they are. If questioned on the issue, they may say "well because these values are good for people and society", but we can drill deeper: what is goodness? where did you get that idea of what goodness is? and they run into the same issue, hence Hume's is-ought problem. Your second point is very well made. People may vote republican for totally selfish, non-Christian reasons. In this case, I would argue that such a person, while a republican, is not a true conservative, since they do not embody the spirit of conservatism, which I am positing as something like "the desire to conserve". Therefore, the person who wants lower taxes and less immigrants for purely selfish reasons is not a conservative, as their motivations are far from "the desire to conserve". I hope that answers your concerns. I'd be interested to hear what you think

@@RealityCheckMag thanks for the reply. I like your argument, and I think conservatives who don't believe in Christianity but believe its doctrines are really an interesting group. There seems to be a rise in them in recent years, with Jordan Peterson being probably the most culturally relevant figure that comes to mind. He seems to not believe in the truth claims I mentioned in my first comment of Christianity, but still believes in the literary and moral value of the texts and the cultural heritage. Now what's interesting is the point you make; how does he know Christian values are good without a God to provide the objectivity for his morality? What is good so to speak? I agree that this is a tough thing for atheists to answer, but the only thing I'd question about the video is that it is in no way unique to conservatives. Atheist liberals for instance also think that things can be classified into good or bad, and classify things as such. Assumedly they come to their political standpoint because their understanding of morality best aligns with liberal thinking... Yet the question is just as present, how can they hold liberal beliefs as to what's good or bad without any sense of morality that could possibly be objective? In the same line of thinking you suggest, I think one could argue you can't be a liberal atheist either. I'm also curious what you'd think about liberal Christians if you ever want to make a follow up video lol

@@poeadp3735 That's right! Great synopsis. Yes, you are correct, the central argument could be applied to liberal atheists as well. The angle I took to point this out would look very different though, since liberals are generally less concerned with conserving. The angle could go something like: "hey liberals, you claim that progress is good, and that you are progressing towards something, but what are you progressing towards? and how do you know that thing is good?" or something like this. The reason I focused on conservatives is because I am a conservative (and I assume the majority of my small audience is as well), and so this video is kind of like a rallying or corrective call to "my people". Although it's also true that it would also be beneficial for a more liberal-minded creator to make a similar video

Many institutions created by the church were also present in the east so most of the unique features of the west are related to the Enlightenment.
@RealityCheckMagАй бұрын
That's generally true, as many countries have justice systems, marriage and centers of learning, but it seems to me that there are critical differences between the Western versions of these institutions and the Eastern ones, and these differences would have pre-dated the Enlightenment. What would you say are some of the unique features of Western Institutions that arose because of the Enlightenment?

No there are, one is Richard Dawkins. He calls himself a cultural christian but still doesn't believe in Christianity. I can see the older he gets, the more agnostic and less atheistic he becomes. I understand you say it is intellectually dishonest, but the point is they exist. Even my own dad is an example, he may not like Islam and me being a muslim, he would be devastated if all muslim culture dissapeared from my country.

Jung is not atheist. This is just a more accurate and multi dimensional understanding of religion at a higher level of abstraction. Biology comes from somewhere. Of course our biology would lead us to religion, because God created our biology. Nothing about this is atheist. My critique of Jung is that while looking inward is good, it's not sufficient. You need Jesus as the living Word of God.

Great video, but I'd go so far as to say that sanctification is actually the opposite of individuation. Individuation is about man's departure from divinity, but sanctification is about man's unification with divinity.
@RealityCheckMag2 ай бұрын
Interesting, can you say more about individuation as man's departure from divinity? I wasn't picking that up from Man & His Symbols, but Jung must have said more about it in his other works. I see individuation and sanctification as similar in goal (they share the common goal of elevating the individual to their highest potential ), but you are potentially correct in saying that they are opposites in method. thanks for watching!

Their different beliefs and cultures are divine, and recognizing this is essential to abolish our “they /them /other” perception of other HUMAN BEINGS. God loves us all unconditionally, English isn’t special, Americans aren’t special. Even though we perceive ourselves to be.

The Music Industry is dark and demonic .Jesus is coming soon repent / Matthew 4:17 says Repent for The Kingdom Of God has come near. Leave all that new age behind Jesus can save you. If you believe in your heart ❤ and confess with your mouth that Jesus is lord you will be saved. Jesus Is King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords❤🙏Repent Jesus Is Coming Back. Leave Zodiac Signs Alone, leave tarot cards, new age, subliminals and manifestation alone and even angel numbers, this is not biblical, homosexuality is not godly and is a sin. Repent Jesus Is returning sooner Than we think. Pls Grow A relationship with Jesus❤🙏🏽“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. leviticus 18:22. it's happening right now i the Bible it says that Christians will be hated and before Jesus Christ returns the euphrates river will dry up that has already happened. When you look at your phone, laptop or even a painting you know it has a creator behind it but when you see us how can you not believe we have a creator. Why do you think the music industry and acting industry mock Jesus And Yahweh(God). Singers like Katy Perry have literally said they sold their soul to the devil. Why do satanist say they don't believe in satan but does satanic thing and say satanic things. It has been scientifically proven that Jesus has been here on earth. How can you say a Christian is being homophobic and rude towards lgbtqia+ when we're just stating that it's offensive to do the things that openly mock Yahweh(God)/Jesus(Yeshua) but when lgbtqia+ mocks Yahweh(God) in public at the LA Dodgers and other places its ok.The devil comes to kill steal and destroy. Yahweh(God) is not The God of confusion. The devil will confuse people and manipulate people's minds into thinking it's ok. How can you buy up a rock and say it will bring you money or love? That doesn't even make sense that's like me going on the side of the street and picking up a pebble and saying it will bring good luck and money. Jesus is love, Yahweh(God) is love. Praying for you to not be deceived by the devil and his satanic agenda like getting children into lgbtqia+. You rarely see people mocking Muslim or judaism and more but it's mostly Christianity. Nobody should mock anyone we all should forgive one another and love one another i'm not going to try to force my beliefs onto you but there's a choice we all have free will to take the broad path(bad path) of the narrow path(good path) believing in Jesus doesn't mean make our beliefs religious Jesus doesn't like religion he just wants a relationship with us. That doesn't mean us Christians will have life easy, we christians will be put through test and trial to grow our faith Jesus gives us strength. Jesus is The King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords. May The Heavenly father Bless You.John 15:12: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Luke 6:31: Do to others as you would have them do to you. Corinthians 16:14: Do everything in love. Proverbs 17:17: A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.James 1:2-4 New International Version Trials and Temptations 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. Proverbs 3 Verses 5 to 6 [5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. I encourage you to give Yahweh(God)/ Yeshua(Jesus)a chance pray for discernment and wisdom and to love the thing Yahweh(God).Yeshua(Jesus) loves and hate the things they hate. Baseball is also a masonic sport. That's not a good thing.
