[@eyeofthetigger7305]

My parents were married for 63 years. Mom was a 'church gal' (her 13th BDay gift was a bible). Her self-authored obit had the phrase 'her spirit returned to God who gave it'. Dad was not religious. I could likely count on one hand the number of times he was with us when Mum dragged us off to church. When Dad passed, a few years after Mom, he was merely existing. Could barely walk or hear, missed the love of his life, and being unsatisfied at merely existing at the ripe age of 93, asked for the 'put me down' cocktail. His remaining children were with him, and it was most peaceful. His last words? "Don't anyone say a prayer for me!". He was looking forward to the next great adventure. Much respect.

I'm an atheist, currently battling cancer. A couple of months ago (August 19th to be exact) I collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. I was not expected to survive the night, but somehow the team of doctors pulled me back from the brink. I woke up two days later in ICU where I spent the next two weeks before being moved to the Oncology unit for another two weeks. I'm writing all this to make sure you understand the precarious nature of those first few weeks after my diagnosis. AT NO POINT did I ever reconsider my atheist position, because there was, and still is, no compelling evidence that the gods that are worshiped by theists, past or present, exist or have ever existed. When I was in the Army I was an atheist in a foxhole, and since then I've had the experience of being an atheist on my death bed. BTW, now that I'm getting chemotherapy, dialysis and other treatments I'm slowly getting better. ♥️✌️

As a Christian, whom does do his homework (all seven of us that actually exist), thank you for pointing this out and releasing this video with a "similar title".

"All 7 of us that actually exist" 😂😂 I like that. Not a christian myself (I tend to stick to a more gnostic viewif im claiming any one single belief) but grew up forced into church and revivals and all kinds of crap and surrounded by a huge family of christians and that statement couldn't be more on point.

[@dlwilson]

@@Jayluvlee87 Yeah, and Paul says in Romans to not try and lie to bring people to faith. So those that don’t do their homework are genuinely opposed to God’s will, rather than honoring it. The Bible says in a few places, and in a few ways, that we should be quick to listen and slow to speak. That we should speak when we are certain of the truth and when appropriate. Cramming lies down people’s throats is as far from Jesus as you can be. It neither expresses humility or patience. It’s says “ha I’m right and you’re wrong and here’s proof”. Which is just stupid and you make other Christians look stupid with you. Prophets speak for God, not random Christians whom assert authority and wisdom they clearly do not possess. They need to learn to sit down and listen in the “Hebrew sense”.

[@goldengolem4670]

Good on you for being reasonable!

[@user-yp6bn7jn6c]

It is very much agreeable, I would like to add that, and pardon my difficulty, that it demands listening and also observation, of situational opportunism for emotional interjection/susceptibility, in which I find implicates mechanisms of mentionable areas of anti-fragility in order to preserve the family dynamic that is relevant to being attributable or expressed associated with the Jesus Christ

[@dlwilson]

@ Maybe, the “family” dynamic, as it’s mentioned in the New Testament, isn’t the same as what most modern, especially western, peoples would understand. It’s language that’s directly tied to patron/client relationships and also more generalized collectivistic practices working in tandem to illustrate the “kind” of relationship that God wants. For instance, to help contrast an easily misunderstood concept, slaves in the Roman Empire held the “same status” as their owner. So the slave of the emperor was to be seen and treated like the emperor. It was a matter of honor. If you disrespected the slave, well, let’s just hope Nero wasn’t his owner…😅 General workers were actually “lower” in status than slaves because of this “attributed honor”. (That’s why we have to be very methodical about how we read an ancient text like Paul’s letters.)

@@Timeskipper-g2n It may have been something Voltaire discussed years before he actually died as part of some soiree or other. Are there any quotes that Voltaire actually said without a shadow of a doubt? Even the one about defending someone's right to say something even if you don't agree with the point of view is only attributed to Voltaire. A near contemporary of Voltaire was the great French composer Rameau who was known to be a total perfectionist and very fussy. As he lay dying monks from a nearby monastery were called in to chant the prayers for the dying and Rameau is said to have become extremely annoyed because one of the monks was singing out of tune!

[@Timeskipper-g2n]

@@kaloarepo288 Yeah, the "I don't agree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" quote is another one for which there is no certain attribution. Honestly, I don't know. I only know some stuff that people claim Voltaire said but he likely never said than stuff he actually said out loud (writings are a different thing). That said, if something fits with the viewpoints espoused in his writing, or what people wrote about him, then it's more likely real than not.

Nurses have an extraordinarily tough job. I’ve had two hospital stays and my emotions (and subsequent verbal expressions) while there ran the gamut from contentment to agony.

Most people in foxholes (faced with seemingly imminent demise) cry for their mum. I was faced with such a grim prospect when I was in Intensive Care with Pneumonia. Given only 2 hours to live my treatment was, well, intense. During the 3 days on the ICU I woke only twice. On one occasion I awoke to the sight of a hovering, man shaped carrion bird holding a book. It took me a moment to recognise this looming Crow as some form of a clergyman. He mumbled something about 'making peace with god'. Unfortunately, I had never updated my catholic religious status since I was 11 years old. I was 40 at the time of this event. I recall being confounded then annoyed then saying " Who will rid me of this turbulent priest? ". On the 4th day I rose again and was greeted by a very relieved and happy attending nurse. She filled me in on my improving condition and how they were all astonished then giggling at my Henry VIII quote. How shocked the holyman was when, as hospital policy dictates, he was ushered from my bedside as per my dying request.

I had two thoughts go through my head during this 3 to 40 second time period. (My brother said he knockedthe ladder down within a few seconds, but it felt like forever in the moment). My heart can't take this, and that I was going to black out into nothingness. I didn't see my life flash before my eyes. My last words, if I would have died, were, "It's shocking me!" before repeating, "I'm dead. I'm dead, I'm dead." Over and over, before my brother knocked the ladder out from under me, which stopped me from being electrocuted to death. The tree still had power going through it, so every time I moved it would shock me again. My brother ran to get a fiberglass ladder, and I was able to get down. The most terrifying 3 minutes of my life. Through that entire, very traumatic experience, not a single thought of God crossed my mind whatsoever, cause I am an Atheist. I'm actually pretty proud of myself that I didn't pray on deaths door. I just got extremely lucky. Never lost consciousness, only had a burn on my finger, and had to stay overnight in the hospital.

When the Roman Emperor Vespasian died he reportedly said "Dear me, I think I'm becoming a god". He was then deified by the Roman public. By this girls logic this would mean Roman Paganism is the true religion because someone expressed Roman Pagan beliefs on his death bed therefore it must be true.

Ulsyses S. Grant was an Agnostic, and a preacher was widely reported for confirming Grant's deathbed confession of faith, upon his death. Turns out, that Grant's very best friend was another well known agnostic, Samuel Clemmons (Mark Twain) who maid a very strong case that not only did Grant not confess to belief upon his death, but that the preacher had not been allowed to call upon Grant on his death bed, and had been turned away. However, it was still widely believed decades later that Grant had confessed to being a Christian.

In business and politics, he was working with people who saw trust as something to take advantage of for their own personal wealth.

[@autumnblaze6267]

when I was a kid, suffering from gender dysphoria, often in bed I prayed to wake up as a girl the next morning (later also a precise clause saying that I also require people's memory of me being a boy wiped out) - I was aware of the existence of other religions and I quickly discovered the Christian one wasn't answering, so I went thru the route of asking them all in the chance one of them answering - sometimes it was just a general "if there's anyone out there, please answer, give me ANY sign", I also promised to become an utter fanatic of the God who answers (hence in the case of the "please, someone, anyone" prayers, I also asked for clarification which God answered), staying a virgin for life, becoming a priest/monk/prophet of that and especially if it was an obscure God, preaching whatever they want every minute of my life - of course, zero answer, the closest I got was trying to join Christianity at some point and venting about my gender dysphoria during one Bible study and asking if they'd be fine with me showing up in a skirt (nothing scandalous, one reaching the floor, I'd cover myself from neck to toes even tho people often attended the church in shorts or short skirts), they of course told me "no" (and it was a very liberal church for the local standard, they had a female pastor) and reduced it all to perversion / fetish, telling me that I must be a porn addict and should watch less porn (ironically, I didn't watch porn at all, the mere sight of feminine body just made me jealous and boiling with anger; also, I told them that it goes back as far as I can remember, I very clearly remember fuming with hate cos I wanted to be one of the girls), not even basic understand, so that's my answer 😂 yeah, but funnier than these general "someone, anyone" clauses were the times I actually researched obscure forgotten gods, actually studying their history (that's how I got into religious studies, I have a Jewish Studies diploma and me wanting to learn Qabbalah to turn myself into a girl definitely was an influence 😅) and doing a little ritual - I remember in particular calling Moloch (the pagan Semitic god(s), the name just means "king/ruler" and applied to many gods really; in the Bible Moloch worshippers are mentioned as committing child sacrifice as a part of their rites), I set up a big ass candle and started chanting, I was still underage but like 16 (cos I remember wearing some girl clothes that I ruined during that event and I only started getting girl clothes at like 15 once I got a payment card to buy stuff online cos I was too shy to do it irl), anyway, the candle fell over (the placement was terribly unsafe), starting a little fire, I panicked and hot wax splashed on me as I got rid of the fire, I'm also pretty sure my thigh highs caught some fire at some point - I ended up with pretty nasty burns on my right (iirc) hand and leg (mostly around the knee), nothing got seriously damaged besides my body and thigh highs - the burns were pretty nasty, but I googled that it wasn't dangerous, they'd heal on their own within 1-3 months iirc, the problem was hiding it from my parents cos I didn't want to explain that I prayed to a child-beating demon from the Old Testament (and I don't mean YHWH 😂), asking him to turn me into a girl (I gave some hints but I wasn't entirely open about my transgenderism - at that time, I also didn't identify with the label due to my lack of knowledge, I thought transgenderism was more like intersex while I was "spiritually" a girl or something - my head was a mess back then, but the idea that "it's only me, there's literally no one else with similar feelings, I'm exceptional" was strong 😂) and the demon clearly utilized a candle to turn me into a child sacrifice (I was still a minor) 😂 kinda funny how transphobes will tell me that it's better that I underwent this insane journey which could've killed me at many points (and left my body deeply damaged due to undergoing male puberty against my will) and that I should've just repressed these feelings (as if I didn't try at many points, only for them coming back with vengeance) instead of giving me blockers or even, if they think minors can't decide (but apparently nothing wrong with forcing me into a very permanent puberty I hated which left me struggling to this day - you can't choose anything permanent, you need to be forced to the permanent changes), at least let me wear the damn skirt and let me get the damn pills the moment I turned 18 (cos I struggled 10 more years to get HRT, I just couldn't afford going from doctor to doctor begging only to be rejected cos medical gatekeeping goes crazy, in my country only like 5 doctors accept the existence of trans people but gender-affirming medicine is in general a grey area, barely legal - I already barely had energy to get out of bed in the morning and they expect me to work crazy hard just to burn the money trying to convince a transphobic doctor for months that, yes, I'm not faking the feeling I felt since I was at least like 6, especially when they can just say "no, fuck off" and take my money after misleading me for months)

About 3 months ago Dusty got in contact with my wife and they started chatting online. Well after a few weeks, Dusty asked to talk to me, and here's how it went: Dusty: " Hi dad." Me: " Hello Dusty." Dusty: " You know that you need Jesus in your life right?" Me: " Dusty, I do not need a religious lecture." Dusty: YOU JUST HATE GOD!!!!!!" and hangs up the phone. Yes, the chat lasted less than 30 seconds and I'm shunned again. Wife showed me some messages from Dusty about me. In those messages Dusty said if I had Jesus in my life none of the bad things would have happened. These include: 1.) 3 house fires. 2.) Broken femur, ankle, wrists, pelvis. 3.) Police making a false report which resulted in a conviction. 4.) Two dog attacks, German Shepard and a Rottie. 5.) Mother getting cancer. 6.) Shot 3 times. 7.) Stabbed once. The funny thing?

Even if it was true it wouldn't matter at all because nobody's ideals should be judged within an extreme situation like an accident, under tor. Or an end-life situation. The end life is not a normal state of being, it's an extreme circumstance defined by stress, fear, confusion and all sorts of emotions in which anyone can lose track of rationality or a life-long ideal

[@DarkMatter2525]

True. And, hell, they could be on all kinds of wild meds.

[@markmuller7962]

​@@DarkMatter2525Exactly! Btw, ChatGPT: "Yes, the objection to the apologetic claim is both logical and realistic for several reasons: 1. **Contextual Influence:** Extreme situations, like those experienced at the end of life, can significantly affect a person's state of mind. The emotional and psychological stress may lead individuals to make statements or decisions that don’t necessarily reflect their long-held beliefs or rational judgment. Recognizing this influence is logical because it acknowledges the potential for altered thinking under such conditions. 2. **Evidence and Verification:** Claiming that someone changed their belief on their deathbed requires robust evidence to be convincing. Without reliable documentation or firsthand accounts, such claims are often speculative and may not provide a true picture of the person’s beliefs. A lack of verifiable evidence makes the claim less credible, which is a realistic concern when evaluating such assertions. 3. **Potential for Manipulation:** It's realistic to consider that deathbed conversions might be used manipulatively in apologetic arguments. The emotional weight of death can be leveraged to make a point, potentially distorting or oversimplifying the individual's actual beliefs. This manipulation is a practical concern and highlights the need for careful scrutiny of such claims. 4. **Respect for Personal Beliefs:** Using someone’s deathbed statements to argue for or against a belief system can indeed be seen as disrespectful. This objection respects the integrity of an individual's personal beliefs and suggests that such moments should be approached with sensitivity and caution. Overall, these points form a logical and realistic basis for questioning the validity of deathbed conversion claims, considering both psychological factors and the need for evidence"

Rather, the issue is what the author of the tale intended, which is difficult to figure out. Almost two thousand years of apologetics has invented a lot of explanations but it appears, at the least, that the author of the Gospel of Mark (whose name may or may not have been "Mark") wanted the audience to the story to feel that Jesus felt pretty badly at the time, that the crowd of Jews around him didn't understand him (thinking Jesus was calling out to Elias), and that ... as "Mark" loves to do ... Jesus was fulfilling a "prophecy" ... by which they mean a callback to a phrase in what we now call the OT..

These people were severely ill, had absolutely no hope of recovery, and were treated by hospice. In many cases I was there for their last breath, because I assigned these people to myself. That was in part to spare my more sensitive team members the burden of dealing with end of life issues like that. I was giving them pain medication on a regular basis anyway and I will always abhor the idea of anyone dying alone. I was there for these people so they would not die alone… I’ve watched people of all walks of life and all faiths die. I’ve never had anyone say anything like these supposed statements. Ever.

I'm always surprised by how masculine DarkMatter looks when he posts these live action videos. I normally imagine youtubers look pretty nerdy if I don't know what they look like, but darkmatter basically looks cartoonishly manly.

[@nsacockroach4099]

Yes and the thumbnail is just amazing xD

[@AsobiMedio]

Scholarly Kratos.

[@IronBoulder]

He's not cartoonish. Schwarzenegger was cartoonish. DM is a gorgeous male specimen. ❤

I'm always so thankful when I see someone who talks sence look like a God damn Spartan-Viking offspring. It's harder for people like me (who looks like a gay liberal viking) to grab people's attention, even though I'm a studying anthropologist. No one wants to hear it from me cause I look "woke", but THIS dude looks like he'd woop your ass 😅. People are naturally more inclined to listen to this dude purely based on his look, and I'm here for it. Whatever gets the message out there 👏

[@Jagger-Tyr_13]

​@@AsobiMediodude, that's what it is! Atreus translating things for him, he just "well, actually". 🤓

Look at what the vast majority of chrimsbians believe and you’ll never have to ask “why lie” ever again… When your entire existence is based upon a work of fiction that took 40+ authors on 3 continents 1,500ish years to craft (oh and in at least 3 languages too), there’s not much you won’t fall for. There’s a fantastic episode of South Park where Cartman bets Kyle that he (Cartman) can create a platinum album in X amount of time. Upon failing his first attempt, Cartman decides to take “secular” songs and replace the word “baby” with “g-zus” and focuses on selling to the evangelical crowd. It’s a beautiful illustration of how anyone can craft a message that drags evangelicals hook, line and sinker into said messaging. Just look at trump, the antithesis of “modern chrimsbianity”, who sprinkles in the absolute bare minimum of religious nonsense, yet has the majority of chrimsbians convinced that he is DJ-G-zus reincarnated. If you’re “gulnerable” enough to believe in talking donkeys, whales who don’t digest what they eat, resurrections, successful non-medical interventions, etc. then you’re helpless to discern fact from fiction across the board… I apologize for my long ass comment. I was raised in a strict religious family, but I have been adamantly opposed to chrimsbianity and its dogma since age 13 (I am now 44).

Once I heard a Christian man say, "Glory to Talos" before taking his last breath

[@wrathofainz]

Lmao

[@tywinlannister.7473]

Hail Tiber Septim!

[@Wastingsometimehere]

I have faith I can shout at something and move it. Just hasn't worked yet.

[@lyokianhitchhiker]

That begs the question: how does someone who believes in gods or metaphysical phenomena from multiple belief systems rule out who to thank when things go right for them?

[@user-account-not-found]

Talos must be real.

I was raised Mormon, and still value that upbringing and still am a spiritual person, but, I appreciate the work you do, because I notice the same thing. Especially against Mormons, no matter what people want to believe about it, do evangelicals and protestants love to bring up many claims that prove wrong with a five second google search. Also, so many christians are the worst to believe every other conspiracy. I think religion should, above all, be about transformation of one self towards becoming a kinder person, rejoying in religios and whatever freedom.
