The Unholy Trinity Reunion Tour 2020

[@gregoriikatastrov7472]

I've had an atheist friend. I wanted to try and help him find God, but i needed some strong, good arguments to convince him. So first i've tried to understand his point of view, so i could point him his errors. Couldn't find much of them. So i took my Bible, start reading, to find and show him the greatness of God. Now i'm an atheist myself. Cause this book doesn't contains what my parents/priests said to me it does. It contains blood, violence, stupidity, sexism, and whole lot of other b*llsh*t.

[@MasterSpade]

I too was a brainwashed christian for the first 35 years of my life. In my 30's I wanted to get closer to our lord and savior, so I did something too few people actually do.......I read the bible. First time I read it, I did all the gymnastics and made all the excuses for all the contradictions and EVIL commanded by that "god". But by the time I got to the end of that book, I was agnostic. I decided to read it again, but that 2nd time with an Open Mind, not a brainwashed one. I figured, IF there truly is a good god, he would NOT mind me asking all the tough questions. In fact if he were real and a good god, he would want us to ask all the tough questions, because that would at least weed out all the false gods. So I read it again. BOY WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Reading it with an open mind made me see how EVIL that character truly is. By the time I finished it that 2nd time, I was Atheist. After alot of years of researching this topic, I can say there is ZERO proof of any "god". If there is one, he/she/it does NOT want us to know. This quote was true in both our cases -- "Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for Atheism ever conceived." -- Isaac Asimov If only more people would actually READ their supposed "holy books".

[@readiest]

@kim burley So basically you are - as born again christian - ok with slavery, selling your children into slavery, massmurdering people etc etc etc. It´s there, and you cannot discuss away. But you can close your eyes and your mind and stick your fingers in your ears and pretend. Do as you wish, i don´t care. But don´t come here and try to be a missionary.

[@readiest]

@kim burley Firstly i don´t need saving for there is nothing to be saved from. Keep your fairy tales to yourself. Secondly i don´t want to repeat myself, so read above. And thirdly i´m educated enough not to waste my time with people who live in a fantasy world. Have a nice day.

[@gregoriikatastrov7472]

@kim burley you are confusing historical book with an ancient book. Your is just old collection of what people believe in this time, in this area. That's why only non-secular sources are mentioning Jesus character. That's why it contains things that we do know (thanks to science) cannot happened in reality. So you are trolling or you were mislead very bad (and only in that case i'm really sorry for you. If you talked yourself into it, than you're wasting your life on your own demand).

[@MasterSpade]

@kim burley -- You say I "read it as an unsaved person". Wrong. As I said, the first time I read the bible I read it as a Brainwashed religious person. I believed all that crap. I believed it and wanted it to be true. As I said, I was Brainwashed. I was "Saved". That was true for the first 35 years of my life. So you are wrong there. Then I read the bible to get closer to our lord and savior. The first time I read through that book, I could not believe the EVIL and all the contradictions in it. But I was brainwashed, so I made all the Excuses and did all the Gymnastics. But by the time I got to the end of that book, I couldn't take it anymore. By the end, I was agnostic, but still WANTED to believe. So I told myself "I will read it again, but with an Open Mind. If there is a god, and it is a good god, then he will want it this way. He will not be mad when I ask all the tough questions, in fact, if he truly is a good god, he will love the tough questions because that will at least weed out all the false gods." So I read it that 2nd time.........with an Open Mind, not a Brainwashed one. That 2nd reading made me realize that IF there is a god, it sure as hell is NOT the god of the bible. Too EVIL, and too many contradictions. After that 2nd reading, I was what I am now, Atheist. All that means is, that I do not see any real evidence for any god. After years of research, atheism is the only choice. So either --- 1. there is no god, or 2. there is.......but he sure as hell does not want us to know. Take your pick. With no real evidence of any god, I vote number 1. If #2 is true, then it is an EVIL god. Simple as that.

Re the trinity, Aron's speech nailed it when he said that he focused on the science, Matt on the philosophy, and Seth on the humanism. If we MUST assign labels to them, then Aron would be God, being a student on the way the works, Seth is the Son, being mindful of how to live in a non-religious manner, and Matt gets to be the Holy Spirit, being concerned with the more theoretical side of things.

I love this Unholy Trinity. You're all humble brilliant people who have been through the rigours of religion. I was lucky to have been born Buddhist. My mom told me to pray for "Money, Prosperity, and Long Life." That's it. I prayed for those three and it was fun--I knew that those 'prayers' don't matter much unless I support them by living my life productively, healthily, and frugally. It was 9/11 that woke me up to how scary it is that some people are brainwashed to hijack and fly planes into the Twin Towers. I was outraged and angry that such teachings can destroy so many lives. Since then, I started finding books, resources, videos, and podcasts on Atheism. Thank you again for what you do and how you support us.

[@smooth_sundaes5172]

I SO agree with you guys about AA! I have personal experience with it and I have one question. Who in the world with at least average intelligence would be convinced by The Chapter to the Agnostic? I kept telling people I didn’t believe in god, and every single one told me to read that chapter as if I hadn’t read it 20 times? It might make sense to people who already believe in god, but there is nothing in that chapter remotely convincing. It basically tells you to make up your own god. That’s just STUPID!!!!

They have to be closed minded in order to maintain the charade. The second you open yourself up to other viewpoints and possibilities as a Christian, some part of your religious faith will fracture or fray. Saying people are “of the devil” is just a very convenient way of excusing themselves from having their faith challenged.

[@warmweeniesdoxiesweaters2884]

I recommend "Grandmother Fish" by Jonathan Tweet

[@joheyjonsson2825]

@@warmweeniesdoxiesweaters2884 Thank you. I'll absolutely try to find that one for them. Looks amazing. For Christmas, we got the kids "Armstrong: The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon" and "Edison: The Mystery of the Missing Mouse Treasure" by Torben Kuhlmann. The year before, we got them a pop-up book on how animals live and two astronomi books.

Great idea!!!

[@derekmizer6293]

@David Anewman science does not require anything spiritual, whatever that means. No science book has ever concluded "oh, look, god dun it" ever.

[@derekmizer6293]

@David Anewman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 creation scientists conclude that but they are not scientist that creation isny science. Hahahahahhas

I give all three of these men the utmost respect as I have learned a lot from them. They have also shown me that I am not alone, there is a community of atheists and skeptics out there. I am very glad that I found my way to their channels here at KZbin! You guys are awesome and thank you all for everything you do!

[@lisaspikes4291]

I’m a little confused, can anyone help please. My mum was a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous for 37 years here in the UK, she was to her core an atheist. When I asked her about AA’s stance on God, she said that it was an atheist community, but they talked about drawing strength from a higher power but that the higher power was the members of AA itself. So my confusion is about the structure of AA in the States, has God somehow snuck in?

[@42mart42]

The AA was started by a couple of christians, so the intention from the start was to bring god into it, but these days it often depends on the group and where in the world it is, your mum probably just got lucky. Seth did an interview with a guy about this a couple of years ago if you're interested, it's called 12 steps and beyond if you want to search for it.

[@rorytennes8576]

AA is based in religion. Ie belief in a higher power and here in Texas that would be god. Or they will shun you. Most of them anyway. Now there are a couple of AA groups I have heard of that claim to be secular but I am not sure how they get around the whole higher power part of the creed.

[@budd2nd]

Martin Joss Thanks Martin and Rory, thanks for clearing that up for me. My mum isn’t alive anymore but I’d still be interested in watching that. I’ll look for it, hopefully it’s here on KZbin.

[@budd2nd]

And I’ll add a (maybe) funny story, she had always said paying lots of money to dispose of anyone’s carcass was a total waste of time and money. So when she died my Dad found an Undertaker that would collect and cremate her for $1,290. As a family we knew that she was gone, what was left was just a meat suit. Fast forward 18 months and the crematorium contacted him asking if he was coming to collect her ashes. His classic reply was “just throw it in the rubbish bin, it’s just ash” needless to say they weren’t expecting that! 👍

Alex, you are in no position to talk about wisdom with the utter bullshit and condescending garbage you just spewed. Go back to your creationist channels and fuck off.

[@MP-cv5tc]

Absolutely love you guys . As an ex Jehovah’s Witness, the training was to always go back to those people because the circumstances will always change and there would be an opportunity for us to preach to them because they would be more willing to accept what the Bible says . They would be more perceptive , the idea was that everyone would have a moment of weakness due to our everyday problems when we put our guard down and are more willing to accept , this is how they got me and most of the congregation adults . You guys are doing an excellent job and I thank you very much , love you all ❤

[@dianegaus3561]

I apologized to all 3 of my kids. I said that I felt i was doing the right thing at the time. That's all you can do. Be honest. We're all human. Hopefully, they will do better with their own children.

[@carolbroadribb4630]

Diane Gaus, I apologized to my kids too. I blush with embarrassment and cringe when I replay some talks I had with them. They have been so gracious and forgiven me. I was washed clean of my brainwashing parental sin.

[@patricianorwood1075]

Patrick was working so we couldn't come but we are listening to it now and laughing along with you guys. Seth, Aron-Ra, Matt you are all such wonderful people and I love all your videos.

[@RichD746]

The question about Seth's dogs was great. Forgot about seeing that Van on his facebook and was wondering the exact same thing at the time.
