[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

I'm going to guess that around half of the viewers of this video are atheist. View count, at time of me typing this, is about half a million. That means about 250,000 atheists watched it, so I'm taking the standpoint that 250,000 viewers made a very similar prophecy... Either the abrahamic god makes atheists speak its words, OR there were a quarter of a million thinkers who extrapolated based on their own experience of believers who make that kind of video. I've got zero evidence for this argument, of course, but I'm going with my zero evidence argument. Just like the guy Emma responded to...

10:26 The man being above the woman in the supposed "hierarchy" is the icing on the cake 👌

[@stwheel]

I saw that too. Emma missed a trick by not pointing this out. Hilarious absurdity nevertheless.

[@JLT1003]

To be fair, I believe he did say that "man" is the highest being -- so at least he's consistent in his absurdity. This also speaks to Emma's excellent point that if you can't have morals without god, then how could morals change over time? (Would imply that god made a boo-boo the first time.) Unfortunately, extreme religious zealots and bible literalists like this have *not* changed their moral code: they still live in the dark ages with beliefs like homosexuality is a sin, women are inferior to men, all other species are inferior to humans, etc. etc. This is another example of a circular argument: you can't have morality without god, and your counterpoint that it doesn't make sense for a god-given morality to change is fallacious, because morality has not changed, because the only correct moral code is what is written in the bible, which has to be true because it was written by god...

[@MKA63]

Truly disgusting. From a male, I think that was a true showing of how limited that individual's thinking is. My thinking is that there should be either 2 symbols (Female and Male) at the top of that pyramid, or maybe even better, a non specific representation of a human that doesn't imply any kind of gender. (yeah, I know - good luck working out what that symbol might look like) ...

[@LordOfThePancakes]

Man r head of the household. Christian believe in family & strong value while atheist believe in selfish & worship man for god since atheist substitute man 2 be take place if god

[@fandroid6491]

​@@LordOfThePancakes What a load of incoherent rubbish

[@vala84no]

I was taken aback by the bit where he talks about how humans are "higher" beings than other animals and shows a hierarchy. I think Emma only noticed the obvious human at the top of the pyramid, but not the fact that it was a man on top, while a woman was on the next rung down (same level as a whale)... I know creationists usually hold sexist views, but they usually aren't this explicit about it. My wife missed that initially, but now she's doing her best Dory impression.

[@LokiofQ]

Ha, I saw that too, was surprised that Emma didn't notice.

[@charleshadley1468]

[@fredfenstermaker5890]

Also scrolling through to see if anyone else had noticed this. I had to pause the video to make sure I was really seeing it. I was also very surprised that Emma didn't mention it. I think it might be a good subject for a follow-up. Come on Emma, tear into him for this. I think we'd all love to see it. "Man" is at the top of the list because of his superior brain. Put on your big boy pants, gird your loins ChristRighteous and get ready to defend yourself.

[@katutaistelija]

That was a mind-blowing graphic. Scrolled down to see if others noticed.

[@zacharycates5485]

I noticed that too! It's the kind of thing that is simultaneously shocking and not surprising in the slightest. Yikes.

[@ccbidwell18]

I feel like Emma did miss an opportunity here with the “animals don’t marry and therefore we are superior” bit. If you strip away the ceremony, what is marriage but bonding for life? Animals do that ALL THE TIME. There are many species that mate for life, and if divorce rates and incidence of extramarital affairs are any indication, they are FAR BETTER at it than we are.

[@DarkDemonOfHel]

Not only that but many also do have some kind of ritual like a special dance or sound they make after bonding. This isn‘t that different. The only one that came to mind is the litte mating dance a freshly bonded pair of virgin termites queen and kings do…and they too bond for life :D

[@DeeKate]

Yes!! Thank you! Can we talk about animal courting and how A TON of animals mate for life?! Pretty sure animals had that down far before humans even came along.

[@Oviause0713]

Exactly, if humans are superior because of marriage then why the heck do some animal species have stronger relationships than humans?

[@David-gr8rh]

Love it lol

[@louistournas120]

​@@Oviause0713 It isn't superior at all. Sleeping around and spreading your genes is superior. Fighting and beating others is the superior way. Humans and every other animals have been surviving for millions of years that way. Like the lady (Emma) in the video said, marriage is just a business arrangement. Humans come together and agree to respect each other and each others properties. Women were treated as property in the Bible. That is the world that Jesus grew up in. He never fought for women's rights. It is only in the 19 th century that european women decided to change the status quo.

[@footbru]

Anyone who uses "faith" in their argument is inherently acknowledging that their argument is too weak to stand.

[@DaveLH]

I think people like this genuinely don't understand the distinction between faith and critical thinking / empirical argument.

[@Sxcheschka]

I knew a guy who told me, "you have to accept certain fallacies in the Bible to accept it as the inerrant word of God." I was so stunned and had no idea how to respond to that. He also couldn't understand that people who don't have a higher power have morals and ethics, and went on to say, well if I don't have God, I will commit awful atrocities, because there are no morals...

[@fubartotale3389]

"You have to accept errors in the inerrant word of God" they say unironically, LOL!

[@Sxcheschka]

@@fubartotale3389 Yeah, it made me sick to my stomach how somebody can be so proud of such actual nonsense.

[@williamowens3905]

I had a co-worker tell me that “i was lost” because i didn’t believe in god. Believe me, he was the lost one.

[@bimmebeau]

Ockham's razor argues for the simplest explanation (and William of Ockham was a theologian). Rather than postulate a supernatural being, accept the historical reality that the multiple authors of the Bible were totally unaware of current science, which left them writing fiction. Parenthetically some of the nastiest atrocities were perpetrated in the name of god and religion. The Old Testament god was not a nice guy.

He also uses what's called the puddle analogy, which essentially states that if a puddle woke up it would think "wow! This hole fits me perfectly! It must have been made for me!" While in reality the hole was there and water just happened to fall in. Looking at his argument he states, in essence, that if anything on earth was changed then we wouldn't exist, therefore it must have been masterfully designed with us in mind, while in reality we got lucky and were able to evolve on this giant hunk of rocks.

My grandma was a devout Christian and she raised me in a Christian way… thoroughly Christian! BUT when I questioned the bible during my studies, she told me that if I had doubts about the bible I must do my research. Go to the source, study the original text, read it in the original language, then learn who translated it. She also hugely encouraged learning the history of the bible, the history of how it was put together as a book, the books that were chosen for inclusion and those that were left out. She pushed me to always be learning, encouraging me to figure out, question, research, and NOT take the first opinion as truth without reference. So just because she had true faith she always understood that others might have question. She was always beside me supporting and guiding me. I’m not a devout Christian as I did carry out my own research…. But I still thank her for every moment she was in my life 🥰

I am so happy to know that there's someone who also experienced that. My grandma is similar in this, she's a Buddhist but she never expected me to blindly believe what she said. It's always better to ask, think, find and answer then use ways to test it. She often told me some quotes from Buddhist texts and asked me if I think it's true or false, then ask Why it's true or false, How and How can it become opposite, then finally ask what's I have learned from all the analyzing.

There's animals that live in monogamous relationships for their entire lives, even after one partner dies.

[@akakscase]

I was raised in a deeply religious house. But I was also raised by at least moderately intelligent parents. They didn’t want me parroting ideas, but to develop my own to increase my faith. There was a time during the 80’s and 90’s when there was a big push from the church for their youth to do this. It backfired majorly. In their pursuit of knowledge a large portion of the youth researched their way straight out of their faith. Now the church is drawing back on that approach and indoctrinating the young to never question the taught faith, miseducating them on science, and turning them loose to spew their rhetoric in an attempt to strengthen their stance. This is also beginning to backfire, but instead of going back to the roots of faith in he church is now openly attacking anything that questions their smug superiority. They are calling anything that questions their misinformation as an attack on their faith, while actively trying to destroy anything that can possibly break their strangle-hold on their young. Teaching someone that it is okay to love as you wish, despite being one of the core teachings of the very person they claim to follow, is now a sin equivalent of murder. Meanwhile truly heinous acts are dismissed or ignored, all in support of “keeping the faith.”

Thanks for being you, Emma T! We need more, and more easily available, people like you online. I'm just an anonymous Joe Egg, but with just enough of a modicum of common sense to see the good sense in what you're saying. A few observations (which with my luck you probably already know by heart) in support of what you're saying: 1) Edgar Cayce (trance medium, just enough [not nearly all] of whose clairsentient predictions proved correct, making him the object of repeated investigations into the area of expanded awareness and its applications, and unfortunately the recipient of much distortion of his ability into a spiritual icon): "Religion is mankind's oldest excuse for avoiding true spirituality." 2) George Bernard Shaw (I feel I should apologize in advance for the source, in that he's been to a certain extent rightly blamed for fanning the inhuman flames of misogyny): From his somewhat faulted but still instructive play about down-to-Earth, practical spirituality, "Don Juan In Hell" (a.k.a. "Man and Superman", Act III): Lucifer: "An Englishman thinks he is being moral when he is only making himself uncomfortable." Same character later on: "What is man's religion? An excuse for hating me. What is his law? An excuse for hanging you. What is his morality? Gentility! An excuse for consuming without producing. What is his art? An excuse for gloating over pictures of slaughter. What are his politics? Either the worship of a despot because a despot can kill, or parliamentary cockfighting. I spent an evening recently in a certain celebrated legislature, and heard the pot lecturing the kettle for its blackness and ministers answering questions. When I left, I chalked up on the door the old nursery saying, 'Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies.'" 3) Dr. Sir Arthur C. Clarke, in the last segment of his documentary, "Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World": "Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we CAN imagine." 4) Robert Heinlein, in his novel, "Time Enough For Love", through the notes of the 6,000-year-old man, Lazarus Long: "The gods of most Earthly religions have all the intelligence, manners and morals of a spoiled child." Later in the same notes: "God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent. It says so right here on the label. If you have a mind capable of believing in any of this, I have a great bargain for you, but no checks, please, cash only and in small bills!" Finally, and given what you and all sensible people understand, "For a 'God' who is supposedly all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-forgiving, the 'God' of the Old and New Testaments and apparently the Quran is so insecure, he has an ungodly inferiority complex about his penis, especially regarding the attitudes of self-respecting people towards it, like sensible males, women and children!!!" (Yours Truly). In short, Emma T., keep up the good work, and I dearly hope numerous more people than before give you their honest attention!

Now tell me why in the hell would we have a brain that is 10X the size that it needs to be consuming massive amounts of energy for literally no reason. One downside of a larger brain is slower reaction times because of the signal delay between parts of the brain, and the biggest downside is the fact that birthing a human is unbelievably difficult compared to most other mammals, and babies come out far less well developed to have even a chance of fitting out. That's why human hips are so wide, and babies are born small and weak and helpless, they would kill every single mother otherwise.

It is clearly referring to the Garden of Eden story. This is the beginning steps that the jewish god takes. It is a critical moment since this step determines the view that the followers of his religion take with respect to women. Of course, this religion is man made and when I say man made, I am referring to males. They have designed their religion in their own image. The followers of the jewish religion from the time period when 1 Corinthians was written, were certainly literalists. In other words, they literally believed that there was a Garden of Eden and all the descriptions of the book of Genesis. The book of Genesis contains clues for them. The creation of man first and the woman being an afterthought gives them clues as to the attitude of the jewish god towards woman. This becomes an excuse for the authors of 1 Corinthians and the rest to devalue women. I don’t know what that silly line about “power on her head because of the angels” is suppose to be. {11:10} Anyway, the author recognizes that for a man to reproduce, he needs women. {11:11} {11:12} is about the guy confessing that men need women and vice-versa. Again, probably he is thinking about reproduction. These guys have a big issue with hair. Little trivial things such as the hair on your head has somehow become a big issue in ancient jewish culture apparently. They don’t like it if a woman prays without her hair being covered. They also claim that the hair of a woman covers her head so I don’t know, maybe the author is suggesting it is fine for a woman to pray without a cloth covering her head. They believe that it is shameful for a man to have long hair. This would be the equivalent of a man wearing a dress, a skirt or a bra in modern society. Most of us would find him weird.

"no human could have created the moral code in the bible" Hammurabi would like a word. That is, unless you want to claim that _his_ gods were real and _they_ came up with the moral system on the stelae. Bit of a catch 22 there. It's amazing how confidently people make claims when they have zero education on the subject.

A real Christian would share what they know, how and why they know it like that and leave it at that. A real Christian doesn't use force nor manipulates. A real Christian supports and lives by Free Will. It's Your choice to make up your own mind. A real Christian is just a messenger not an indoctrinator. What makes a Christian a Christian?

@@skilz8098 While I'm sure it's comforting for you to think that way, the history of Christianity's spread is through force, fear, and coercion.

The entire premise of Christian faith is "Do what we tell you or suffer eternal damnation." As a block, Christianity is responsible for more death and destruction than every other religion combined.

She really didn't like my point of the possibility of Christian archeologists maybe naming locations based on biblical accounts of cities or the fact that fiction writers, even into current times, write fictions and place them in real cities or towns because that's what they know, have seen or inspired them and bringing up the specific example of Stephen King's "The Shining" being influenced by the hotel he happened to be at.

For a prophecy to be genuine, it needs three things: 1. To describe a specific set of events happening at a specific point or points in time, 2. To be written before the events it describes, 3. To describe events that can be independently verified as true. None of the so-called prophecies he cites can be shown to meet all of these criteria.

Was *that* world a paradise of everyone behaving morally to each other and no-one having wars or anything? Or were there loads of wars, lots of christian soldiers fighting against other Christians for all kinds of reasons, sieges involving christian people who were servants of the wrong Lord or King being starved to death, and also people being burned or tortured for their beliefs because one set of people thought that another set of people had heretical beliefs. So, no, the evidence suggests that when the vast majority are Christian those societies are *not* in fact paradise on Earth.
