AronRa: "Here's the thing, if what you say is actually true, I would want to know it too. It's not that I have this bias at the outset where you'll never convince me and I'll never convince you. No, that's wrong. You can convince me. And, if it is true, I want you to convince me. And, if it is true, you can convince me AND I will thank you for convincing me." That is the goal!! It's about having an accurate view of reality... whatever it is, no matter what it is.

I never was totally convinced that God existed but I went along with it because I wanted to believe that I would go to heaven and meet all my relatives. I think the wanna believe factor (ie. can't handle the alternative) is a major part of all believers' faith. Logic and evidence isn't going to change that. It took the things we learnt from DNA to finally make me dump religion.

well they don't talk about Jesus very much be he did not represent what complain about John 18: 35"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?"36Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place."37"You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."

Self praise under another pseudonym is evidence (in an atheists' ideology) that "Truth isn't truth if it is constantly changing".Question is that statement true". Obviously self-contradictory! Such are the stupid statements made by atheists who never think before they speak.

I admire all atheist activists and I'm glad they do what they do. I'm strongly considering my own you-tube channel devoted to this as well with some arguments I have yet to hear from other atheists. I really wish they would talk about how religious people *need* to believe in something. Children invent imaginary friends because they help them and comfort them. That does not mean they actually exist. There are millions of people who believe in a god mainly because they can't accept the harsh reality of life without one. So, in order to sleep at night and feel some peace, they invent a god to believe in who loves them, who will solve their problems if they pray enough, who will listen to them, etc. That does not mean a god exists. That's the epic failure of theists. They so desperately WANT their god to exist, that in their own minds, it does, and to hell with everyone else (literally) that does believe in their imaginary friend. They simply can't accept the thought of it not existing, because without it, they cannot endure the realities of existence. Life is harsh, deal with it. It's time to grow up.

I can completely relate to Aron. I was literally kicked out of Sunday school because I was constantly calling the Sunday school teacher out for her constant contradictions. I had to go sit in the big church with my mom and dad. It was easy to call the preachers BS out as well. after that my mother told me if I don't want to go to church anymore I didn't have to and I was free to believe whatever I wanted to believe. Completely liberating

My parents used to drop me and and my five brothers and sisters off at Sunday 'school' so they could go home and have sex, I have recently found out. They used the Sunday School here (Australia) as a childcare center. I really HOPE they didn't realize that they were having me forcefully indoctrinated into a cult that THEY never even went to once even. I honestly have nightmares/flashbacks still of being in the toilets with the pastor. If I said anything about it as a child, I would definitely have been punished by the small church, but most of all, my parents would have flogged me. That is why I AM an ATHEIST. No LOVING God would have allowed a child to go through that. I'm sure there are worse cases than mine, but I thinking of you(NOT praying). Peace

As annoying as religious people are, as asinine their beliefs, and as immoral their attitude toward life, I am still grateful to be able to witness all of these great minds adverse these idiots. I live in the south. In North Carolina, where religion is woven into the fabric of life without a second thought. Where evolution is a lie, and where Jesus is a house hold name. I can barely stand it at times. Sometimes I feel suffocated. My wife believes there is more to life than this, and was raised christian. Though she is far from fundamental, and is very intelligent. But she still holds onto a belief in the supernatural, almost as if, the wonder and beauty of the universe is nothing special. This also bothers me. Naturally we get into arguments, and most of the time we just tire ourselves out, and come to a mutual understanding. Either way it is still frustrating, because I have 2 kids. And one of us will teach them, that this is it, and my wife will teach them, that she doesn't think this is it. Though I am sure they will grow up free thinkers because regardless of what I described of my wife, she is a free thinker, maybe agnostic, just not a pronounced atheist, and anti theist like me.

***** I don't think anyone should call themselves a feminist. Why do we have to be in a special group labelled after one sex? Feminism makes out that women are the only people with problems. Oh and when it started it was pretty racist. It was only for white women's rights. Humanist sounds much more appealing. It sounds like equal rights for all people no matter sexual orientation, gender or skin colour. In my opinion all peoples social problems are just as important as everyone else's. Black, White, Asian, Gay, Straight, Men, Women etc... have their own problems. Why should we just focus on women? I'm not saying that we shouldn't focus on women's problems, but to only focus on them would be a little bit sexist.

Where is the god everyone is talking about? After all the books are read and the video has run its course, where is he. Believers point to mountains and oceans and say there he is, can't you see him? They talk about death, war and every disgusting, deprived perversion ever committed and say, can't you see him? Well, no I can't. I think that religion/faith, for most people is like any other earthly investment, it comes with risks and rewards. Good investors know that the secret to success is hanging on during the bad times. The greater the investment the more risk but it's the reward that keeps the holder of a declining stock hanging on: And I think that's where we're at. Worldwide, people are feeling the effects of a declining market. It's most often interpreted as an attack on religion/god but I don't think it is. It's the side effects of logical and rational conclusions that is most likely responsible for the devaluation of the religious markets, worldwide. Investors/believers are in panic mode but they know not to let go, it's the bad times or as is sometimes said, 'The end times,' Regardless of the 'stripe' religion's infestors are in panic mode and have been conditioned to hang-on and stay the course. I don't think that this will change anytime soon. Believers will continue to point at the mountains and oceans, start wars and reject reality. The brilliant light of logic and understanding has only begin to shine, blinding to most a relief to others. The erosion and devaluation of ancient mythologies is a certainty and as obvious as the Grand Canyon and that I can see. (Please don't pardon the pun.) Thank you AronRa for you guidance and inspiration.

Thanks for this. I'd much rather a music-less version of an interview than one with a music track. It just throws me off.

What I'm learning from these videos is that at its core...atheism is sincerity in an age that tolerates and even rewards INsincerity. I find that incredibly liberating.

Brilliant! Keep fighting the good fight! I can see it being difficult to turn your back on everything that you, and possibly everyone you knows, believes in and there are probably a lot of people who stay with religion because of that fear and anxiety. Still, it is of the utmost importance that we all trying to open people's eyes and help them with the difficult transition. Above all I would say don't condem people who have been lied to their whole life, they probably don't know any better.

I wish you'd make more short, actually sit through able videos. That's why I subscribed to you but so far I've only seen the podcasts, and the clips from this, now I get a combined form of the clips. I don't unsub from people, I don't do that. But as a request from a viewer, please make more of the short videos.

Aronra is a real american hero. He goes around preaching truth, in a place where it is much easier and financially beneficial to lie and make a ridiculous amount of money.

I just love Aron so much because I share sooooooo much views with him! It makes me feel so good inside. I observed that people really feel good when other people share their views. I think that's why religion still exists - it gives people long term good feeling and emotions. However, the realism of religion happiness is sadly very comparable to drugs. Happiness would be true only if it was gained from reality which we all share - that should be the goal of mankind.
