The Absurdity of Atheism

father, anointing, prayer, spirit, woo woo......there is no evidence that turtles hold up the earth and are in turn held up by other turtles. There's no such thing as a "devout" atheist. Not believing Bronze Age mythology is THE default position everyone is born into. There's no such thing as an evolution"ist" either. Only the religious lunatics assert that something came from nothing via a magical incantation from an invisible "being"

[@stan1027]

I am an atheist. You are a Christian. Which kind of Christian are you? Catholic? Protestant? Mormon? Jehovah's Witness? Some form of Evangelical/Fundamentalist? Whichever one you embrace, what makes you think that your particular form of Christianity is the right one? I'm sure it's because of the particular way that you and others who share that with you interpret certain passages of the Bible. That's the same reason why there are so many different kinds of Christianity today, because people like Martin Luther, John Calvin, and so many others had their own way of seeing things. So I ask again, what makes you think that yours is the "right one", when any other kind of Christian will say THEIRS is the right one?

[@mountbrocken]

We all think our specific views are the 'right' ones. HOW Christ saves or interacts or is in and of Himself is irrelevant to WHETHER it is more likely that the main tenets of Christianity as we see in the early creeds which illustrates basic theistic views universally accepted by MOST religions, albeit differing words and its historical relevance of an incarnation, makes your point irrelevant.

[@youtubespag]

​​@@mountbrocken the existence of heretics early in the church kinda squashes your claim. Clearly there were disagreements if they came up with a word to call those who disagreed. Like your use of the word MOST kinda nullifies the word universal. These are opposite. Universal means all, most means not all.

[@scotthullinger4684]

There is a FALSE and a GENUINE version of everything in existence. This of course also includes churches claiming to be Christian churches, when only ONE church, in fact, can possibly be authorized by CHRIST himself, because he introduced it by himself. I'm surely not going to get in an argument with idiot people who know next to nothing, because it's of course a damn waste of time. However, there are MANY good Christian churches nevertheless ... and there are also Christian churches which border on the verifiably Satanic. The basic problem with atheists is that they seek NO truth, because they believe they can discern truth and discover truth entirely on their own in every instance. Well, guess what? It's just is NOT so - And by the way ... the Catholic church is BY FAR the most evil abomination on earth among Christian churches. Oh, the irony, the grand irony . . .

Even if there is a god, this bizarre story as what's portrayed in Christianity and the father/son/spirit make no sense whatsoever. It's truly fascinating and extremely mind-boggling that anyone can sit there and believe any of it. It's simply astonishing and also frightening to live in a world where nearly two billion people believe that and more billions believe other nonsense. Also, what this guy's saying is simply not true. There is no evidence for god, let alone overwhelming evidence. It's thought experiments, not objective evidence. 4:55

Only thing it takes to be an atheist is not to be convinced by the existence of a god or gods, no faith required here. If someone can explain to me how a being can both be timeless and conscious (for example, make decisions without the intervention of time), then I may consider the god hypothethis not completely illogical.

[@praneshkarroy5562]

Atheism is NOT a religion. The Bible is NOT evidence. So, when you quote verses from the Bible, you are not quoting evidence. ALL of your arguments are a non-starter. You try to look at the real evidence. Please. The only thing i can actually agree to is that there is no evidence for a creator.

[@Gieszkanne]

Atheism is a religion because you belive there is no god.

[@wopatka]

We use the word “creator” only because we consider what we see to be “creation.” When we stop calling everything a creation, the creator need not exist at all. Why assume that something created us? We simply exist: not creation, but existence. Then what brought us into existence? "An existator"? Besides, why is a god necessary? Why do we claim that whatever started everything must be conscious? It makes no more sense than the big bang, in fact, it makes even less sense.

[@TheBalconyofLA]

If you are able to use the sacred text of the religion in question to prove the existence of that particular god then, by that logic, all sacred texts are true and all sacred texts would be allowed to be used as texts which prove the existence of their particular god. This argument is flawed for self-evident reasons UNLESS the argument that you’re making is that all sacred texts ARE true, which is a Hindu belief (all paths lead to godhead). At best your argument is in favor of Hinduism. At worst it proves the absurdity of belief based on a book written by peasants during the Bronze Age.

[@seekerhonest]

Maybe being an Atheist is absurd. But followoing a man-made religion (like Christianity and Islam) with man-made morals and man-made mythologies and believing it is the only right one and all other humans shall follow that religion also is much more absurd. As a Deist I send you a lot human love :)

im 12 and i go and have been going to different Christian schools for the past 12 yrs of my life so i know the bible pretty well and i can say someone of the stuff that people say about atheists are not true and one of them is "atheism is a religion" atheism is the belief there is no God and theism is the belief in no god. need i say more... also (i know that people had said this before) quoting the bible to prove the bible is circular reasoning and wont progress the conversation any farther than the circle you got us in. aka use outside sources and not the bible. next "point" you say is evolution first of all im not a biologist so watch some debates or vids but i can say scientists dont believe nothing created someone there are incredibly complicated methods at which life started so research it ig or something. pretty sure he watched the average apologetics yt channel and pulled the most disproven points he could pulled from them, so non-life created life. once again im not a biologist but im pretty sure thats happening. when pregnant woman eat food some of that non-living food gets used to make the baby therefore non-living things (food) can create living things. (babies) ok so there are like 10 different things you say so im just gonna say other yt-ers have debunked these points before so look for them. ok so once you're done rambling you say "you dont see a cat becoming a dog..." god damn it... you got me... i dont know how to answer this absolutely stupid question that makes you sound like you didnt do a sunday and the 5 page research paper is due monday morning amount of research. ITS BECAUSE IT TAKES MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF YEARS TO MAKE A NEW SPECIES!!! YOU CANT JUST GET YOU DOGS PUT THEM IN THE SAME ROOM AND SOME MONTHS LATER GET A BRANDNEW SPECIES OF DOG YOU DELINQUENT!!!! that one gets me mad every time. uh wdym there no one cell organisms i literally just went to chatgpt and got 5 single cell organisms. amoeba, paramecium, euglena, bacteria (prokaryotes), yeast (literally makes bread.) alr buddy ive had enough of your lying.

Hello Ray (if I may call you Ray), I am agnostic (used to be Christian for most of my life), and I must say that listening to you was quite soothing. You seem to genuinely care about other people in your prayers and talks, and I appreciate it a lot. I believe we need more civilized discourse motivated by care for others. However, I also don't believe in a theistic God. I can't offer much in terms of academic prowess, but hopefully, I could hold up a decent conversation about some of the topics you mentioned as a physics student who’s been focusing on discovering theology over the last couple of years. Would you be willing to have a quick discussion with me about God, either on air or offline-whichever you prefer? I would definitely benefit from such an opportunity, and hopefully, you might too if you would indulge me. What do you say? Would you be willing to have a civil discussion with a student passionate about learning about God and the world around us? In any case, thank you, and have a blessed day.

That's because you're an emotional thinker and are thus too lazy to examin it all. Low IQ's keep hanging between believing and not-believing = Emotional Thinking. While Rational Thinkers consider, assume, or accept depending on evidence. Simple!!!

If I had a nickel for every time I heard the word "overwhelming." Really kind of disappointing because I was wanting to hear some actual evidence other than just being told to go out and look around. If a single individual made the claim that 500 people saw something then that does not automatically give you 500 witnesses. You have to trust the one single individual didn't make something up. That's pretty hard to see that as "overwhelming."
