I enjoyed the true story I read online a year or so ago.... I man was shot driving by a robbery, shot by a wayward bullet. He was able to drive himself to the hospital where he had emergency surgery. He survived but spent a few weeks in the hospital. When he returned to work, coworkers asked him about the whole event. The man smiled and stated that God must have been watching over him given that if the bullet had been just an inch higher, it would have hit his heart and killed him. As one of his coworkers later said, "If it were me shot like that, and if I were to believe that a god was involved, I would have thought that God was mad at me. God wouldn't have been so angry with me that he wanted me killed, but he was sufficiently angry at me to want me shot. If he were happy with me, the bullet would have missed me entirely."

Just recently I became an Atheist, and I wanna say; thank you. I was having doubts about my religion and I was conflicted between wanting to stay but not really believing anymore and your videos helped ease my mind because my fear is that I'll be ostracized by both my family and friends. I am currently hiding in the closet, my family being a Christian family and my friends also being Christian. I occasionally hint that I'm not a religious person anymore by asking questions about God to my family but their response is always the same; "Those without faith can never prosper" or "Don't doubt" and something along the lines of something about the devil. I don't just drop hints to all my friends, I only drop hints to my friends I am closest with and I know I can trust and I feel more comfortable with, they don't preach to me about believing and all the "things a Christian must do to be close to God". I also just drop hints as jokes like; "I don't really listen well to my parents, I've been told to wake up for church but.... I overslept." (I overslept on purpose) They'd tell me church is important but we'd both back off then, more so me than them because I don't wanna push it then we'd move on to another conversation that is more lighthearted and joyful. I hope one day I'll be able to come out, I don't wanna live the rest of my life hiding in the closet and I hope when I do I'll still have them in my life without a negative stigma between us

I'm sorry someone died, that can do two things, it can make your faith stronger, or it can destroy you. I wish you would've chose God. But you can't save everyone, you will be in my prayers, but I'm just gonna give you a Bible verse to look into, check your history books too if you have them, about Simon and the persecution of the Jews in what I think was China. Look up the story about the moving of the mountain. You may not believe it, but it's pretty cool to think about. He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Hemant, thank you so much these are my exact sentiments. I live in Houston, I am currently going through this terrible tragedy. I am much more fortunate than others and have not had any flooding effecting me directly, however I know friends and family who have. I'm seeing things shared online from friends and family thanking God, and I'm thinking to myself that he doesn't deserve our thanks if he is the one who caused this. I understand people falling on their beliefs in times of crisis for comfort, but we can't rely on God, and by your logic the same God who caused this, we need to do something to help each other. Luckily I am seeing a lot of that. Houston has been putting aside all politics, religion, and prejudices to help each other out and it is beautiful. This tragedy is uniting everyone and it is truly beautiful. It's a shame it takes a disaster to create this kind of unity. Thank you for this video, it really means a lot.

@@avam3245 this was a while ago idk if your still Christian, but the main problem with religion is that you guys are holding god down to the lowest standard possible when he’s literally “the creator” he has lower standards than humans but you guys still make excuses for him? The way the Bible and Quran depict him is basically telling us he is an unloving god mind controlling us to believe he is good

[@avam3245]

Hello! I am still Christian, and while I really think my comment back then wasn’t very good, I do disagree with your point just now. I don’t think a God or deity, from any religion, has the same values a human does, meaning Humans view love, life, and everything pretty much differently than an all powerful God/deity/supernatural being do. We are not held to the same laws, a God does not have to be. In Christianity, God is all knowing, he knows the future, the past, our innermost thoughts, everything. If a man dies, God knows the future outcome from that fate, maybe he died and another person who was dying was able to get a vital organ from him, and that person went on to be a doctor snd saved thousands of lives, etc. God sees the result of everything. Sin plays the biggest part meaning that because he gave man free will, and they chose sin and worldly temporary pleasures, the result of that is darkness and consequences. God does not interfere with our free will because he doesn’t have to. There is no other “god” who shows the love and mercy that Yahweh does, as no other God would humble himself as a man on earth and die for the many who cheered as he was crucified.

He's 6 foot and built like a brick so nobody was brave enough to take him on. He got a lot of praise from like minded parishioners after the mass. The fact that he's a devout Catholic drives me crazy but that day... I was proud of him.

To think, a JW elder ended up having a drug using, beer drinking, coffee drinking, birthday celebrating, tattoo covered, blood receiving, significant criminal record holding, hot headed asshole for a son. Oh, the irony... Lmfao.

[@spacecat109]

I am an atheist, but saying “Thank God” is just a reflex for me. I grew up in a Christian family so I heard the phrase used on almost a daily basis and just picked it up as a child.

[@User-gk1yi]

Super Cat I think everyone says "Thank god" regardless of they're Atheist or not, it's just a natural reflex.

[@Salih_Swag]

Very well said.

[@uncleanunicorn4571]

It's like a father who watches his sons slaughter each other in a knife fight over what present to buy him. He doesn't stop them, but after they both bleed out, the father goes outside and writes his name in their own blood.

[@williammesa2172]

I don't get why people pray to god to get them out of situations like that. It's like he put you in that situation what the fuck makes you think he'll be like "oh my bad." and then pull you out of it

[@avam3245]

If I were in a. Burning hotel, I would hope to get out of it, but if I die, I want to die praying.

[@soriacx]

Hemant, you are speaking what I was thinking every time I read about the destruction in the news, there was inevitably some pictures of someone on the social network who says that his or her "thoughts and prayers are with them". And although most people see this as a nice gesture, I have to confess, it strikes me as a very cheap (in every meaning) cop-out of anything. Prayers won't help a bit and won't bring this people anything, but it is cheap and lazy. Donating just 10$ is indefinitely more helpful and would bring just one single person much more than prayers from thousands, but then, it cost 10$, therefore, let's just pray :-( I'm not proud nor being ashamed of being an atheist, but I'm donating! Sad I can't do any more, but this is the situation where I feel MUCH, MUCH better, more humane, more compassionate and even more moral by donating than by saying "oh, those poor people, I pray for them. (There, I did my part, stop bothering me, bye...)"

[@reaganbrooke8578]

God is testing us believers. For true believers they will cling to Him more than ever. I feel bad for you.... You seem like a pretty nice guy... Sad to see such a nice person go to Hell if they don't repent. It's not to late.... Go to your local Christian church.

[@reaganbrooke8578]

I have diabeetus Because He sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and so when people don’t believe that and just believe He was a prophet or something, God gets angry and sends them to Hell. He doesn’t like doing it but he has to unless they confess their sins and believe in Him and His Son.

[@beloveskoo]

wanna hear the most selfish thing ever? in islam, and specially when they see someone who's sick/dying or in natural disasters, they have a thing they say which is: "thank god who saved us from what he afflicted them" and they claim to have a peaceful religion. right

[@kr00m]

I've always assumed that's what Christians met with "Thank God..." ...that shit didn't happen to me

[@beloveskoo]

kr00m yup it's the same. oh, i forgot to mention that the quote is actually taught to them by their prophet!

[@nickyboy435]

I actually heard someone say today, "water, food, clothes, that's all great, but the best thing you can send is prayers"

[@Mordal1222]

Prayers are nice with mashed potatoes and lots of pepper.

[@ANTINATALIST_lewis]

@@Mordal1222 lmfao

[@tompinion4138]

Christianity is a very egocentric religion. People actually believe that the supreme creator of the universe took the time to personally save them while destroying their neighbors. Even more perversely...thank him for it. A very selfish and twisted sense of morality indeed.

[@catherine_404]

Essentially, "god f*ks you up... but he also loves you".

[@gabriellainka2685]

If god that powerful and that smart, why there is atheist out there Should he has power to change us (atheist)to be christian And if he the one who created me, why would he created an atheist?

[@jodiej3469]

Umm. He didn't create Athiest you decided to be one and yes he can change you to be a Chtistian but he wants us to change so when the end time comes it gonna be your own fault.

[@SylviaWithAPlan]

Thank you for the link :)

[@Vislymatzkeit]

God loves you all even though you don't believe in him, he's amazing give yourself the opportunity to know him. He'll accept you, he came for you, yes you. All these bad things are happening due to our own mistakes. God is coming soon repent and accept him. He loves you.

[@hazzah.04]

@HeyThatsAlex816 If you think God doesn't exist wait till He comes

[@Vislymatzkeit]

@HeyThatsAlex816 When He finally comes what would you do?

[@Pinkangelinmenard]

I wrote a story once, never shared it, but it's about the "Invisible Parents". To sum it up... what kind of "Father" or "Parent" would never show his or her's existence and insist you believe that they do exist or you'll be punished, and swore these parents loved you more than anyone could ever love you and they couldn't speak to you or visit you because they were too perfect to do so and only when you become as perfect as they are, that then you are allowed to live with them. What kind of parents would give birth to a child, have him humiliated and beaten to a pulp and die, to come back to life so this brother could save your wretched wicked soul? What kind of parents would that be? If we are supposed to be so much like God, who is supposed to be our heavenly father....if we are so much like him, why can't he show his face then? Christians will answer this in thee most common level they know. I don't fault them because I was one at one time, but.. I just could not fathom a God who loved us so much but was so void and really.. in retrospect, abandoned us. But.. I don't believe there is such a being. I believe.. and I don't know it all. but what makes more sense to me is that we are animals, and we are not any more unique than any plant life force or animal life force in the world. We all start out as an atom, a source of energy, and we grow into whatever forms we take on. I can't go into a full blown explanation but..however, I did investigate the truth about Jesus and it's all so simple.. the catholic church, the inventors of Christianity, and the starters of most all wars, They invented the man from a Jewish man who believed he was the messiah. It all evolved around Caesar the Great. Who's statue ended up in every public building including the Catholic Church, and that statue eventually ended up a statue of Jesus. Hence, the thorny crowns, the gown, then look at the statue of Caesar. I believe in Science..it just makes more sense.

To help out give to the Red Cross as will as the police and fire department even if it just a teddy bear that all helps

[@diamonddog2638]

This isn't supporting my argument, but those tribes are actually pretty cool, I would like to go there for a mission trip, I want to help them work in the fields, and prepare food. It just seems kinda like a growing experience you know? For both me, and the people we would be helping.

god keeped ppl safe but the end days are coming soon so bad disasters coming so get ready boi when he comes he will revive the dead ppl and keep them in his kindom.

[@liquifiediceinabottle8062]

In my opinion, praying is just like this “ Hey dude, I hope you get well after being shot. But I’m not gunna help you cause praying is all you need “ When if you give that dude a 10$ bill it insures his life being saved.

[@marialuizadeoliveira4784]

I am so glad I found this video. I am not an atheist yet, but what a relief to hear your words. I live in Florida and we just dealt with hurricane Irma, the amount of religious bullshit made me just quit facebook. How cruel Christian can be is beyond me. So many people wishing that hurricane Irma would go to North Korea as if the people of NK don't suffer already by having that psycho as their leader. Besides they don't have the resources to deal with natural disasters as we have in America...

[@rorshack7775]

Why do you talk about God so much? The same God that you say is not real?

[@Diviance]

Because Christians have an an overwhelming advantage in this country and regularly discriminate against the non-religious through legislation and the like? It has nothing to do with the deity and everything to do with the believers.

[@Diviance]

As long as reason, knowledge and education continue to grow... I doubt it. Those things are the antithesis of religion.

[@avam3245]

Yeah, God can kill anything he wants to, HE CREATED IT!!!!! Why do you constantly say He doesn't have the right to destroy us? Doesn't he have the right to destroy his creation, or have mercy on us? I don't believe that this will change your views, but seriously, can't you stop judging us for believing in God, when most of you believe an explosion created Millions, and billions of galaxies, and stars, and planets! Simply impossible! So I'm sticking with God, thank you very much.

[@Diviance]

By that logic, do parents have the right to kill their children at any time? Do bridge engineers have the right to blow up the bridge they built at any time? What about builders, can they destroy what they built at any time? Also, the Big Bang was not an explosion.

You're another piece of evidence that all Christians are selfish. The entire Earth could be destroyed killing everyone except in the most gruesome and agonizing death ever, and you would still think God is good because you survived.

I have the same feelings about how you “thank god” for food. By doing that you’re discrediting the people who made the meal, grew the food, raised the animals, worked to harvest it, and who even stocked the shelves.

Thank you for posting this. It accounts for a lot of the messages that I've read. I live in Houston, east side of town, and in the news, social media, neighborhood apps, it's about thanking god for being rescued, what about the actual person/people who are doing the saving?? What about the people who designed the retention ponds and drainage systems that have saved numerous of houses from being flooded?? I don't get it. Thank you again for posting.
