Being angry at religion is the correct response. Every time a Christian says "jesus loves you" , every time they reduce the conversation to their god, every time they recite scripture, they're actually talking down to you... So yes we should spit back. Constitutional rights are one thing... Behavior is quite another.

The best part is that this is just like an atheist church meeting for their God, the big game hahaha. This is like the acid trip reverse version of the Sunday church for a Christian it's like the yin to the yang... These guys think they're cheeky but they're just having a meeting about a common interest studying the reason that they believe it's literally just a church event that's hilarious... Humans are strange. Atheist is another cult. 😂😂😂😂

Absolutely love Richard!! 😊

24:50 "If atheism is so great why are many of you so angry?" If religion is so great, why many of you believers are rotten, disgusting pieces of s**t who do the most chilling, horrible, evil things (and she only listed some of them) and back them up with some imaginary friend's will?

Good video. Did Russell comsider himself a philsopher? I couldnt find anything on that. Just everyone else saying he was or that he contributed to philosophy. I know this may sound silly to some but it would explain hia critique. To me he sounded like a man set on facts and evidence and what they told him. I have to concede that my experience with philosophy may have only been with the poor kind. People rabbit holing their pet concepts in service of their ego. Peterson for example and his many worshippers. I am so sick of their alpha male posturing. I do argue that just because something can be thought of as being able to put into one of the steps of philosophy doesnt make it necessarily part of philosophy. One of the posters here already said that what we learn from science oftens leads to theories that do not necessarily need philosophy to occur. I can accept that science is somewhat a function of philosophy and philosophy is a function of science. But to aceept that I would have to say that just like theism and religion, as science and knowledge increases philosophy decreases. Not on the same curve but in effect. This video has convinced me to reconsider philosophy. True philosophy. I almost picked up the Toolkit book more than once. I believe I now will. I do not believe in free will. But this may be a cause to affect my reading it. Plus a lifetime and beyond other affects.

This video made me think of how the first seed of atheism was planted in my head, now that I think of it My former pastor pretty much turned me into a skeptic. He told me that God would heal my spina bifida but I still have it. damn it's crazy how that just hit me. lol

I feel like all the bad things in life, from something as small as bad luck on a video game consistently, to bad luck in life in general, to losing everything you have over and over again... all that bad energy despite how much good you do. It's god's fault. Personally I feel like God is a jealous prick who only hates those who understand the truth about him

😂the story about God hardening Pharaoh’s heart is one of the scriptures I questioned so much when I first became a Christian, it didn’t make sense to that Pharaoh didn’t have free will in the matter and had to end up losing his son because his heart was hardened by his punisher?

Christianity has become Jew worship and they deserve to be mocked by Jews for believing Jewish lies. Our Communist Government would not allow Churches to exist if they taught the truth. As I write this I'm listening to this Jew ramble on about nothing and saying B.S. over and over. He struggles to destroy the Strawman that Jewish lies created.

... Fear of spiders may be an irrational phobia, but given the toxicity of some venom, it's not all THAT irrational ... ditto for snakes . And I actually LIKE some snakes and LITTLE spiders.

Believe in the ex Muslims because the Muslims they are taught to tell lies.

God sounds like a women

Strobel is such a fool. I believe, in a generation or two, his type will be done and gone. Won't that be nice?

You wonder if this guy actually believes that the holohoax actually happened or is he just covering his ass.

Don't listen to this man , he is bringing you down the hole that you will regret later . I had glimpses of 'true Heaven' and that place is full of joy and the atmosphere in there is such like you would't want to live in any other place ..actually it is soo 'special' this place that you would WANT to help these 'poor souls' on earth to get there ..and you would be even 'sad' that they won't go there bcoz of how 'stubborn' these people on earth are ... Jesus said : 'seek FIRST the Kingdom of God' .....yes that sentence will make a true sense to you if you had only just tiny glimpse of true Heaven . In revelations to Saints (which you can listen on youtube) it was revealed that the biggest suffering of a person (who rejected God) after death will be realising what they have LOST when the vision of true Heaven will be shown to them . Also if you only had a glimpse of that place you would understood the role of Jesus on earth , that place Heaven is a special place and Jesus was willing to sacrifice himself and suffer for no any wrong doing so that YOU could enter THAT place , He have paved the way to that place with his blood ......this IS the highest expression of love when someone is willing to suffer for others to be happy .

The dictionary should change the meaning of the word “ apologist “…. they must replace the meaning of apologist to a “ fool of fist water “

Humans are evil.

That lady in the begining was fucking weird. That entire interaction was so unprofessional and weird. Like. Wtf.

There are pregospell documents that claims Jesus was a real human: Paul´s letters. Paul claims Jesus was a real human with jew linage, that was buried here on earth, resurrected, appeared to many people (here on real earth, not in a heaven) who developed a church that Paul himself pursued. In Romans 9:5 Paul says that Jesus had a human nature and descended from jew patriarchs. In Romas 15:8 Paul says he served the jews, to confirm the promes of the patriarchs, so, Jesus was here on earth. In Romans 6:4 to 10 and 7:4 Paul says Jesus was buried and raise from the dead, so, we can deduce he had a physical body because he wasn´t in a kind of heaven, but among dead humans. In Corinthians 15:4 to 9, Paul says that Jesus apperead in front of more than 500 people others, including the 12 apostles (here on earth, after he was buried and resurrected, because those people were humans not angels); that people was part of church that Paul pursued, so Paul himself says he didn´t create it nor he was the first to receive the revelation .

David is entertaining but he gets many hings wrong. Don't rely on him for the details of history.

No but they crucified him to telling the truth

I’m angry that religion is used to justify killing animals

I feel the same about the vegan movement. The anger is justified, and the goals are also justified, just misunderstood.

He is full of venom…

He is full of venom…

I don’t think it’s brought up enough that Yahweh is a defeated loser. His temple got destroyed by pagans in 70 CE. It’s why Jesus was invented.

Luke Skywalker explaining why the Force isn’t real haha. No to be real, I admire Price and how he is talking and the way he thinks. 😃👍

Christopher Hitchens is dead so Richard Carrier has to take care of himself. This stuff is so critically important. Humans cannot possibly evolve to higher levels until we put Christianity behind us. And know that I give no weight whatsoever to the fact that Richard Carrier is a dead ringer for David Koresh. That is purely coincidence and we should read nothing into it. Wait how old is Richards wife?

It sucks to know that all these places he had visited didn't have enough time for him but he made time for everyone else...

I find it fascinatingly frustrating when Christians and Jews claim that the woship of Yahweh is responsible for the freedoms and prosperity we enjoy in the West. Its obvious to anyone willing to look that Christianity is the result of Judaism becoming more western/European, and mainstream Judaism has been slowly trying to catch up

Carrier displays a bit of an ego, but I enjoy his discussions.

Its only a delusion if it actually not true. The problem is, atheism is much more likely to be a delusion than Christianity. Most atheists are wishful thinking. The hope they never have to face God and give an answer for all they've done. On the other hand, there is very good evidence that the God of the bible is real. Beyond a reasonable doubt. Start with the arguments based on scientific evidence such as the kalam cosmological argument, the argument from fine tuning, etc... Then look at the philosophical argument from morality. Look at the historical evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The historical facts are almost universally attested by scholars / historians that work in the field.

Pantheism is a more affective platform to argue against religion. If you are an atheist christians will typically ignore anything you have to say.

Christians would be livid if another religion, using the power of law, tried to coerce Christian compliance with the other religion's doctrine, especially if it usurped the power of Christians to make personal or family decisions of a profoundly moral nature. Christianity is a world conquest religion that has killed over a hundred million people, and now think it's their job to dictate to us what is right and wrong. It's especially vexing to non-believers as secular morality is demonstrably superior to religious morality, which always comes with high levels of bigotry. Christians need to clean up their own filthy house before trying to dictate to others. Bigots and self-righteous hypocrites do not make for happy neighbors and Christian churches are profit centers for bigotry. Something to ponder during the most segregated hour of the week.

if you have trouble understanding evolution, that's not a big deal. it's dificult to understand such a large time frame. i can understand people who are honest about not getting that. but what I don't understand is the people who don't get evolution and then go straight to MAGIC as the explanation. If you don't think evolution is the answer then just say you don' t know the answer. Don't say it's magic!

The most telling statement was 'you can brainwash yourself'. He gave multiple examples of how crazy and stupid a reasonable person would believe the Jesus myth to be but then said it reached his level of acceptance/faith or whatever. What he's done, like ALL reasonable educated people of 'faith', is just brainwashed himself into believing something that is silly and stupid and impossible (virgin birth, zombie Jebus, the ark - 7 meters of water would have made it impossible for humans or animals to survive the flood, even if they climbed to the top of the highest peaks? etc.) and that's ok I guess. Where it takes an ugly turn is where faith turns to hate. Even if this man is not himself a bigot, he has endorsed and supported and showed his love for bigoted politicians so I say If you're gonna keep playing the smilin' good 'ol boy, maybe take a look at what you're putting out there into the world.

Was the ark the only waterproof floating vessel in the world what happened to all the other boats?

yeah i know what you are talking about. when i am in the art zone where thing goes right, it feels like magic; there is no feeling like it. for me, those moments are rare. it is even a detriment sometimes because small parts you work on in the zone look so different that i have to rework it. but i always strive to get to there, and make it last as long as i can

At 34:00 Greta describes well my athiestic view of everything. Never before becoming an atheist did i see how incredible and wonderful the universe is. Based simply on the natural mechanics of the universe and life. The connections between literally everything. How similar we all are. Its amazing, awe inducing and I know it is literally my brain comprehending the universe as I can see it. And at 40:30. This is a incredibly meaningful portion for me. Should I not live my life to its fullest because of fears induced into me by society and religion? Should i continue to hobble myself over perverted views of reality? The answer is no. Another humdinger of a speech given by one someone who just understands reality well and is willing to risk adversity to share it. Well done. I wish I could have you in my life.

Don't waste your phone battery God is real

I can understand atheist not being angry. But I question their perception on the world. I became an atheist because i needed to know the truth as best as I can tell. Originally I was trying to find the truth of god. In doing so I found out religion is not real and god doesnt exist I needed to know the facts. What is supported by evidence. This is the foundation of my atheism. In knowing the truth, i know religion is toxic. It harms and kills people. It harms and kills life. How can you not be angry at their callous disregard for life. The hypocrisy is mind boggling. The child abuse. The insitutional child abuse. The indoctrinational child abuse. They believe they have a right to harm children. Then call others groomers. For these and many other reasons I am an anti theist. For these and many other reasons I am an angry atheist. For the billions who have died for no other reason than 'god wills it!'. And personally, religion has made my life hell. Religion is responsible for pretty much all the trauma and suffering I have endured. And they believe it is good. "Athiest are engry because there is something right with us.". The best quote I have ever heard. Best speech ive ever heard. Best speech about atheism.

I would be more impressed if Randi didn’t do the Mensa test. Smart people don’t apply for Mensa.

"Are Christians Delusional?" Trick question if there ever was one!

After watching this, it seems Christians and atheists have a lot in common.

Yes.

I am angry at the same things, very angry.

I’m angry to start with because of the damage religion did to me as a child. I was raised to hate who I really am and suppress my true self, which, unfortunately, lasted almost 18 years after I left the cult. I’m still angry because of everything she said, because of all the damage religions still do every day around the world.

Why not post the date this was recorded?

13 years later they are taking over the U.S. Government.
