Atheist SNAPS at laughing audience in Christian vs Atheist debate - Richard Dawkins - Part 3 of 3

It's funny to me how you use the stories in the Bible as evidence for the truth of the stories in the Bible. Yes there is evidence outside of the Bible, but using the Bible itself to justify itself is funny to me. Spiderman came from New York City according to the story. The city does exist in real life so Spiderman did actually come from NYC!

[@revoreport]

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate your sense of humor on this! 😂 You raise a good point about circular reasoning, but let's unpack this a bit further. The Bible isn't just a single book; it's a collection of writings from different authors across centuries, yet they converge on a consistent narrative about Jesus Christ. This isn't like Spiderman where one author creates a fictional character with a known city backdrop. Instead, consider this: if multiple independent witnesses describe the same event, doesn't that lend credibility rather than relying on one source? Historians often use this method to verify events. For example, the existence of Jesus and key events like his crucifixion are also documented outside the Bible by historians like Josephus and Tacitus. So, it's not just the Bible saying "trust me," but multiple streams of evidence converging. 🌟 Now, think about this: if we were to apply the same skepticism to science, would we dismiss all scientific theories because they build upon previous scientific findings? Science often uses its own frameworks to validate itself, much like the Bible. Both the scientific method and biblical accounts invite us to explore further, not to take everything at face value. Here's a question for you: If Jesus rose from the dead as many historical accounts suggest, wouldn't that be the most significant event in human history, worthy of at least considering its implications for your life? 🌱 I pray that as you reflect on these points, your heart might be open to the possibility that Jesus is who He claims to be - the Light of the World. May you find peace and truth in this exploration, and may the love of Jesus guide you to a place of faith and understanding. In Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

What a horrible choice for a representative of Christianity.

[@revoreport]

Our representative for Christianity is Jesus. He’s the Light, the Way, the Truth, the Life and if you seek sincerely He’ll reveal His majesty to you. It takes more faith to have an atheistic worldview.

[@SmokynJeffreys]

@@revoreport I totally respect your belief, is it possible for you to provide evidence that isn’t rooted in belief or faith?

[@Bgood2others]

I gave up my strong Christian beliefs after reading the Bible. Many of my friends and family are Christians and are wonderful people but the ones that aren’t religious all lost their religion after reading the Bible like I did. Almost all of my Christian friends study the ten percent of the Bible everyone knows but the other ninety percent they don’t know and don’t want to know. Truth never fears scrutiny. I suggest people to read the Bible from genesis on and decide for themselves.

[@revoreport]

Absolutely - plenty of evidence.

[@SmokynJeffreys]

@ The brightest minds amongst theists cannot provide such evidence, I would love to hear what you have to say that doesn’t rely on faith or the Bible which is not evidence of any kind

The catholic priest has done a disservice to his explanation of hell. Sad, people don’t believe in hell at all and some believe no one goes to hell but instead they go to a place where they can be redeemed. What a terrible lie. Redemption is while we are alive and able if you believe there is no hell or you can wait until the afterlife for a chance of redemption. I got bad news if the position you hold; there is no hell or afterlife redemption then one day you will lift your eyes in hell and there will be no hope. May God have mercy!

Yes, he is a heretic. Origenism and Universalism were condemned as heresies 1600 years ago. I suppose nobody cared to tell the cardinal, though, and he skipped the semester in college when they taught about past heresies... I teach it to my students in our theological seminary every day, as did the bishop before me and the bishop before him.

Vince is very good at misquoting Richard Dawkins. Faith seems to whisk up the brain into a frothy vacant state. See the sheep's eyes and the fixed smile that seems to say 'yes I really am happier because I believe in Jesus, honestly I really am, my life is perfect now, I am happier, I am I am happy, Aargh 😭'.

[@rickl5596]

I'd say it's a prerequisite for faith, not a result....

[@revoreport]

Atheistic worldview requires a significant amount of faith

[@benicolay]

No, it doesn't. Every religious idea that has been dismantled by science (formation of Earth, origin of species, etc), has been done with experimentation which can be repeated and verified. I trust the scientific community and peer review. That is not "faith" as you hold it. Your equivocation is transparent and it weakens your argument to try it

[@revoreport]

I don’t see a contradiction between religion and science. In fact, science has provided further evidence for Christianity time and time again via history, anthropology, archeology and linguistics and other systematic studies.

[@rickl5596]

@@revoreport Everyone knows Christianity exists (unfortunately). It needs no further proof. If you mean it has provided evidence for the proof of a god, then no, it hasn't. Unless you make incredibly ludicrous attempts at mental gymnastics.

[@Bgood2others]

My challenge religious people is to tell me one thing I couldn’t believe on faith. Is it really a virtue if it leads people to believe anything they want even if true or ridiculous? Please let me know if I’m wrong. I’ll wait as long as it takes for your answer.

Sorry I don’t have enough faith to have an atheistic worldview.

[@Bgood2others]

@ I’m definitely pro science because it enables me to txt on this device but wouldn’t say I follow this device. I would say I’d follow evidence wherever it may lead and if better evidence for another conclusion comes to light I’d not be too stubborn to revise my belief.

[@Bgood2others]

@ My world view is evidence based Might be a god or spirit or something more but until someone can show me otherwise I won’t follow along like a sheep. I ask questions and follow evidence wherever it may lead and I’m never scared to say I don’t know if I don’t know. Opposite of faith

[@Bgood2others]

@ I don’t have enough faith for anything supernatural but I won’t rule it out if someone can show me evidence. So why not answer my question ?

[@milankucera1148]

Interesting. Professor Dawkins speaks about suffering and how there is such a massive amount of it. And yet science has been unable to prove the existence of suffering. Or love. Or mercy. There are no equations to calculate them. No machines to measure them. They are invisible. So how come the hypocritical professor uses an unprovable term to back up his argument? A bit two-faced, yes? I have a problem with listening to hypocritical arguments. Especially when they are unable to see how hypocritical and dishonest they are.

[@Bgood2others]

@@milankucera1148 Actually science has much to say about all those things. We know what neurons are firing for all the different emotions including love and grief and how pain is delivered and how much pain your in and science has developed the drugs to block pain and help with depression,seizures,etc. Your asking if love can be seen is like asking how fast is blue. It’s a nonsensical question. Medicine is wonderful science. Next time you have a medical emergency I suggest getting a doctor over prayer.

[@milankucera1148]

@@twosheds1749 Not sure you understand English language, my dear friend (no sarcasm intended, I am a priest. And a retired teacher. And a scientist). Pain does not equal suffering. Not in the least. It is like saying love is ice cream. It is not. The good professor says "suffering". Repeatedly. He does, not me. So, how do you scientifically prove and measure suffering? By the way, there are several tribes till date that do not understand the term "suffering", have no word or a synonym for it in their vocabulary. Several tribes. They do not even know what it is. Clearly, not only it cannot be proven and measured scientifically, it is not even universally understood or accepted thing. Or prove me wrong on that, how does a scientist measure and observe suffering? Not pain, suffering please. I do not want to patronize you on vocabulary, so I will not. And do not let me start on mercy, envy, compassion, jelousy, courage and disdain.

Because one should deny the existence of things that have incoherent and contradictory characteristics, it is not even possible to phantom such things.

[@rudysimoens570]

@@georgearden7075 Even the theists can't define their imaginary celestial dictator! Their imaginary God is supposed to "exist" "out of space and out of time" so their imaginary God is not detectable in any way. That's very suspicious isn't it because that is exactly the same characteristic of something that does not exist in reality but only as a concept in the minds of very gullible and deeply indoctrinated so-called "believers"! Moreover the concept of a god is absurd, completely abstract and contradictory! Something can not exist for zero seconds because then it does not exist. And neither can something exist "out of space" because something that exists takes space itself! Anyway, there is not a shred of evidence for the existence of ANY god or Allah or whatever name they gave to their non-existing celestial dictator. And science and especially evolution have already debunked the crux of christianity and the crux of all the other religions I know of AGES ago!
