Aaron-IL | But Why Do You Believe? | The Atheist Experience 26.36

[@victorhayden7053]

This is pure comedy gold, almost like Monty Python level buffoonery. "I believe that my God is the ONLY true God'' "Ok, why do you believe that ?" "Because my God is the ONLY living God." "Ok, can you prove that this is true ?" "Er.. well, how do you expect me to do that ?" GOLD ! The funniest thing (or the most tragic) is that the caller honestly didn't think that he needed any proof/explanation/evidence to back up his big, bold claim.. Mind boggling. Also scary, that there are millions more just like him.

@@Orsonfoe The title of this video is “But Why Do You Believe?” When I ask atheists why they believe, (Evolution) guess what? The main reply is that it’s a scientific fact. When I ask for the evidence they suggest I go to university or read this or that book. But with every single one of them, there is no understanding of the evolutionary process. They have been that indoctrinated they can't comprehend they have been duped. So, the question of this video could also be rightly aimed at atheists and the evolution theory. An atheist has to have, Faith, blind faith. An atheist has told me that there are many in the comment section that understand evolution and can explain to me the details.

@@rodofdiscipline1887 It less idoctrianated as just basic facts and theist can't understand those facts (or won't accept said facts) so ask blinding ask more pointless complicated questions that you average person cant answer. so we lead you to a place that can properly tell you, unlike theists. and how are we being duped? cause here is the basics for evolution. it is the name of the process when a given species changes through environmental factors and mutation over time. we have found evidence through fossils, DNA, and observable changes in viruses, bacteria, and bugs, dogs, ect etc. that's it. it's not promising some great answer to the origins or meaning of life. its not saying if we follow some rules we will get a happy ending after we die. all evolution is a name to a fact of life that's it. if you want an in-depth understanding of it then get off youtube and find a proper non-religious course that teaches it. this does not require blind faith. god on the other hand does. you have no actual proof there is a god but you believe there one. you have no proof that this god is the god of you bible and not any of the other gods that have existed over the countless years of human existence. and that you way of worshiping said god is right despite so many of the same worhsipers cant seem to agree on that. that blind faith and its a faith you base so much of yourself and life around. evoltion is just a living thing changing over time. don't really need much faith in that.

Thankfully I don’t have much in the way of religious family, we’ve got some Catholics who go through the motions but don’t really try to ram it down our throats. I’ve only ever had to have one or two conversations on the subject of belief with them and when I’ve said something like “okay, you believe in that god, I’ll believe in Ra, prove I’m wrong” we just leave it there. I’m more than happy to let them have their beliefs, as long as it’s not forced on me, or any aspect of my life.

No, life has never been able to come from anything "natural." Anything "natural" only decays in disorder over time via the 2nd law. That's why we have never seen any new anatomy (evolution) in any human, plant or animal for 10,000 yrs. Evolution is simply impossible, but that also applies to any atheist idea (e.g. big bang, abiogenesis, mistakes (mutations) gaining in complexity/new information, star formation, evolution). They can't happen and are impossible to happen.

C’mon son, you can’t go through life being this foolish. Unless it could have been produced by wind or water patterns, it had to be produced by not only INTELLIGENCE, but with POWER, PURPOSE, RESOURCES & the MEANS to produce it. There’s no such thing as magic and the 2nd law of entropy promises that all matter only decays in disorder over time. These facts bring us to the rational conclusion that the producer/cause of LIFE, INTELLIGENCE, LOVE, CONSCIOUSNESS & MORALITY is required to have the INTELLIGENCE, POWER, PURPOSE, RESOURCES & MEANS to produce these attributes.

You don't just bring/make up the next point in an argument. The logic of the argumentation as a whole is predicated by what was said before, as a foundation, and the consequences of each step following. Theists(I guess is fitting) speak as though the arguments to be brought up as evidence, of which will be brought up, need to be "made up". As if it's not just something you observe.

From my own perspective growing up a six thousand year creationist, I would've found reading such a book, or the idea of reading it, tedious. I was more interested in books on the end times or Christian encounters with demons, or near death experiences with heaven. That was much more exciting than reading a book on a subject I was so sure was false anyway. This was one of the major road blocks in my life in getting out of that mindset. Or at least looking at other perspectives. Plus it didn't help that I was convinced by other believers Satan was always planting false literature out there to lull me to hell in the end. That assertion of "Satan dresses it all up to sound so convincing" etc. Anyway, it was more exciting to read things that proped up my beliefs. Like now I find shows about ghostly encounters (I took them more as demonic encounters) so boring because I think the people are just lying about it and such. Where as before I found such shows fascinating. Same with subjects I mentioned above. Now a book on the end times or NDE sounds boring.

I was raised a Catholic, and none of the priests and nuns who taught us religion in school were as sure and dogmatic as this trickster. Not all Catholics are complete nutters, they just accept that there are some things they have to believe on faith alone, and they accept them because they believe in life hereafter and know no other path, because that's the path they were raised in. Why anyone in their right minds would want to convert to this religion escapes me, though. I was never told by any clergyman that non-Catholics were doomed to hell, though, just that Catholicism was the surest way to god. Well, what do you expect the poor priest to do?

Thor also was also a living God as was the Egyptian gods

[@trehcrap]

what did those gods do for your salvation?

[@G_Demolished]

@@trehcrap Precisely as much as yours.

[@trehcrap]

@@G_Demolished No, Jesus died for the forgiveness of your sins and he rose again so you may have eternal life. The others did not. Now do you see the difference?

Ever religion, denomination and sect thinks they are the only right one. And all the other ones are false. Without being able to give any evidence for their god.

I grew up catholic, not recommended.

I used to believe because over time I became brainwashed.

It almost seems like these believers just want to say "My God is the only true God", etc., because they want to seem righteous and prove their loyalty or something. How is saying, "my God is the only true God" any evidence to prove any existence? I am beginning to understand now why Matt loses his shit often...

[@r0ky_M]

Matt should actually have more understanding, he was just like them for 20 yrs.

[@ETAonTheEUC]

@@r0ky_M His tolerance is very little. Sometimes I'd like to actually hear what the caller is going to say but they can't make it past a sentence without Matt losing his shit lol. However, I'm beginning to understand if it's the same tired argument over and over again... but I understand your point too. I find listening to other hosts more of a back and forth conversation going on...

[@r0ky_M]

@@ETAonTheEUC If it's the same tired argument , then terminate the show, coz Matt knows nothing is going to change.

“My god is the real god because my god is the real god.” I think he’s trolling because I think he’s trolling. No one could be that dumb because no one can be that dumb. 😂😂😂

I wish someone would ask what would discovery of life elsewhere in the solar system or another star system mean to their claim of "life only comes from life."

[@jquest99]

The answer? God. The answer is always God for them when there's no answer yet.

5 bucks says IF alien life is found, then Christians will try to incorporate it into their beliefs to try and continue to believe they’re still special.

@@jquest99 I’m not saying I could “interpret” verses better than Christians could, but I bet they could get a few verses out and claim “aliens” and other believers would fall in line.
