Well yeah, that's how I proposed to my wife. I got down on one knee, held out an engagement ring with one hand, and a blowtorch with the other. She chose the ring and we've been happily married ever since. Well, I think she's happy. She's become very quiet and withdrawn, and tends to cower and hide a lot. But I always offer her the option of changing her mind and picking the blowtorch instead, and she never does. So that means she's happy and we have a healthy relationship. ... that's how relationships work for everyone else, right?

[@joevollbach4099]

I know exactly how to fix her withdrawing. You have to ensure that she constantly wants to be closer to you and understand you. To do this, set up some questionnaires about things you have and especially the things you haven't talked about to or around her. If she fails to understand you even once, unfortunately, it means she is evil and rebellious and needs to get the blowtorch.

@darrylvaillancourt6144 To go even further back, Yahweh is a Canaanite god of Metallurgy that was stolen by the Jewish people and changed to suit their desires. Even worse, it was then culturally appropriated by the Greeks and twisted, morphed and broken even more by grifters like Paul. So we have a Jewish bastardization of a Canaanite god, bastardized by the Greeks, bastardized by modern white people, and absolutely decimated by filthy little early American puritans who spread their disgusting religion like a cancer across numerous unfortunate souls, across the world. The result of which has permanently damaged several minorities cultures irreparably.

The worth and dignity of a soul is measured by what it delights in! And delight/happiness is our highest desire. Men have killed to have it. Kings have gone mad trying to find it. Wars have served it. Affairs have worshiped it. We all seek it. Sadly, billions have died without discovering its secret... namely, that joy is not an it, but a He. The Gospel is the good news that sinners can delight in a Holy God. It's the good news that all of our deepest desires are satisfied in the ONE who sent His Son to bring us to Him. . God is so valuable and so satisfying that the most loving thing he could do for us is to make Himself gloriously indispensable. He is the only being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is the highest virtue. Therefore, God's commitment to be glorified and our goal to be satisfied are not at odds but come to simultaneous consummation in the worship of His Son... who took upon Himself the Wrath that God had towards us in our sinful disregard of Him. A wrath that could never be appeased through man-made religion. Jesus didn't die to turn the world into a paradise, he died so that we could stop seeking paradise in the world... Temporal things such as beauty, popularity, money, sex, racial identity, gender reassignment... can never truly satisfy. BECAUSE WE WERE MADE FOR SO MUCH MORE! We were made to gaze intently into the Eternal Beauty of a majestic King, Father, and God... meet Jesus the Christ. Life is hard, God is good, Glory is coming 😊...

Reminds me of the conversation that made me second guess and eventually leave Islam. So much of Islamic teaching tells that Allah is this Omnipotent, universal, perfect god. I asked why art is forbidden in Islam, and I was told that Allah doesn't like it when his creations try to emulate him. We were created to be Allahs slaves in heaven. This is why Islam means submission. I asked why Allah needs Slaves if Allah is perfect. No answer but the conversation was sidetracked to. Allah created us and that's why we must fear and obey Allah. I kept repeating, why does God need Slaves? Then it hit me. If Allah needed slaves, he has the angels. Why make us in the first place? I was then told the dumbest thing I have ever heard from any religious person in my entire life. They said... Allah made the angels without free will, but it wasn't enough. So Allah gave mankind freewill as a test, so when we choose to be his slaves. it would matter that much more. I backed away for a bit and though for a wile. When I left Islam That friend pleaded for me to come back. He asked me why I am throwing my life away. I told him I will not warship a god that sees me as a tool. That wants me to live in fear. That ""friend messaged me saying that if he could have gotten away with it, he would have killed me right then and there. If only to save me.

They excecuted animals found guilty by hanging or crucifying them or flogging them they served insects with eviction notices etc. The bible was the product of people not understanding the world and their efforts to make sense of it.

There's a lore reason for that. The dude in white there is literally Yahweh. Literally god. He takes on the form of an old dude cause he thinks he'll be respected like that but in reality he's a loser and a teenage narcissist and psychopath. He's inside a simulation where he's given infinite power to see how he'd act and see if he'd be a good leader for humanity. The therapist is actually Jeffrey, yes the baby angel guy. They're the same person. Jeffrey is Yahweh's teacher and he oversees the simulation. That's why Jeffrey (the baby dude) always keeps trying to steer god to the oath or righteousness and tries to make him use his brain for at least one second. He changes form so that he teenager dude doesn't recognize him as his teacher and doesn't remember he's in a simulation, otherwise he'd change his behaviour to appear like a good guy and "pass the exam" so to speak. Technically speaking the teacher dude (the baby angel) has more power in the simulation and can, at any moment remove Yahweh's powers, but since Yahweh is an evil psychopath he wants him to fail the exam. Also they're technically locked in the simulation due to a glitch to they'd still have to spend what felt like an eternity there, most likely clashing and fighting for power. The story gets way way darker but you'd have to watch the series to know how it continues.

0:49 It's amazing how you are able to put things into perspective. And everything is suddenly so clear, so illuminating.

[@8eyes]

This sums up why I became a ex-christian and now atheist. It doesn't matter how infinitely powerful you are. If you want anyone to follow your rules then you can't condone infinite torture. That is literally sadistic.

[@justice8718]

Meet the demons who don’t follow the rules and you will run back to God. Hahahaha

[@8eyes]

@@justice8718 I am pretty sure once you die there is no second chance nor redemption with the christian god.

@@8eyes it’s God. He can literally do whatever he wants. He determines the time of death, not the people or the angels.

@@justice8718 Infinite power is Infinite responsibility not infinite rights. I refuse to follow anybody so cartoonishly harsh ever again.

Oddly enough, when I became an atheist, I didn't even consider that the concept of the atonement might have a few problems with it. I was more concerned with "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." If I'd seen a video like this back when I was a teenage Christian, maybe it wouldn't have taken me almost 30 years to figure out that Christianity didn't make any sense. Childhood indoctrination has an amazing capacity to make a person believe things that are utterly ridiculous.

This channel is a bliss ❤️👏👏keep it up bro

[@fancyfree8228]

This was perfect. Short, sweet(?), and brutally effective.

You should totally boycott if he stops. Don't even come to the channel.

Not just the Christian god, the Islamic god has the same characteristics.

[@dylanwilliger]

They're both the same god.

[@LisaAnn777]

They are basically the same, both the god of Abraham.

[@walmartgamingchair7833]

The Islamic God Is far more merciful, don't get the wrong idea

[@zenmite]

I've watched your videos for years, and as someone else said, this is one of your best. It cut right to the marrow.

Isn't that guy a little too nice to be the biblical depiction of Yahweh? Yahweh was a genocidal maniac who also got off on animal cruelty/murder, arbitrary punishment of the innocent (including the devout), and an insane amount of Scopophobia. X(

That was brilliant! You really have a way of illustrating the absurd immoralities of the biblical narratives. It's immensely satisfying to watch this illustrated with these cool graphics.

[@Rhys051777]

I’m so glad someone finally played out the doctrine of Christianity in a video. Thank you. I think about it every day and felt like I was going crazy speaking to others who claim to “believe it” but are in no way bothered by it.

[@Rhys051777]

Just for debate purpose. 1) if god is Omnipotent why can he not forgive. Because substitution is NOT forgiveness. 2) why is it called “the Gospel “ because Gospel means good news. How is it “good news “ that almost every single person who has ever lived is burned for eternity. 3)How can a perfect eternal being whose will is ALWAYS perfect will his own frustration?
