Hey Jose. Taking someone at their word does not work in a court of law. We do not convict "A" of murdering "B" because "C" says that "A" murdered "B". "C" must provide evidence (beyond the shadow of a reasonable doubt) that "A" murdered "B". If "A" states that they did not murder "B", we do not take "A" at his word and allow "A" to go free with presumed innocence. Accepting someone's word based on faith and gut feelings is not a path to determine truth. I hope you are never asked to serve on a jury.

[@tekbarrier]

Normally that's true, but there have been plenty of cases of people sent to prison on nothing but eyewitness testimony.

DNA evidence that would have shown he wasn't involved was deliberately suppressed by prosecutors. The whole case was eyewitness testimony and nothing else.

@@alexhetherington8028 Exactly correct. If you lack the evidence for conviction and other possibilities inject a shadow doubt, then you must find the defendant No Guilty. You have not achieved an absolute decision that the accused is innocent, only that you cannot make a determination that the accused is guilty. The theist is not able to provide adequate evidence to prove that God is guilty of existing. The default for the atheist is to find God not guilty of existing....although the atheist can not find God to be innocent of existing either.

So humans did come from soup? I can prove God in a variety of ways, while at the same time, you have no rational atheist explanation for reality. So you lose out of the gate. God is easily proved. Romans 1:20 declares that God is proved by his creation, so I'll prove creation. Can you point to anything that can't be counted, measured & had no beginning or end (INFINITE)? No, you can't. EVERYTHING in this FINITE universe can be counted, measured & has a beginning and an eventual end. That means it was created; thus, "natural causes" don't exist. Nature can't be the "cause" of anything, because DYING/FINITE NATURE (time/space/matter/energy) was created/designed from nothing by God. And ALL MATTER doesn’t do nothing but dissipate over time - LOSING INFORMATION. That’s why you never observe any GAIN OF NEW INFORMATION (e.g. big bang, abiogenesis, mistakes (mutations) gaining in complexity/new information, star formation, evolution), because it doesn’t exist, can’t exist & never will exist. TO FURTHER PROVE GOD; if it can be "counted or measured" it's a DYING/FINITE (having a beginning & an eventual END/death) entity that has a cause. Then, we simply ascertain what RATIONAL POSSIBLE cause has LIFE, INTELLIGENCE, LOVE, CONSCIOUSNESS & MORALITY to give and the INTELLIGENCE, POWER, PURPOSE, RESOURCES & MEANS to give it. No atheist cause (e.g. nothing, star dust, moist rocks, mud puddles, primordial soup) fits the bill. This SCIENCE points to God and nothing else. God proved/Atheism debunked. P.S. - More evidence for God is that no atheist on the face of this earth has a RATIONAL/POSSIBLE, step-by-step atheist explanation for reality. They should SHUT DOWN THIS CHANNEL until they do have a RATIONAL/POSSIBLE, step-by-step atheist explanation for reality. The asinine, lost & clueless religious cult of atheism is INFAMOUS the world over for having ZERO ANSWERS. It’s time to dump your atheist cult, but you have to want to do it. Everybody desperately clings to the atheist cult out of tragedy or wanting to take the path of least resistance & rebel against their creator for the gift of life given them. They simply don’t want to pay the price. They expect “A FREE LUNCH” when life itself teaches you that “THERE’S NO FREE LUNCH!” But we have to pay the price for anything that has value.

one of the reasons i hate christian music as a nonbeliever and musician is because of how obviously manipulative it is. there’s a lot of cheap tricks they use to evoke certain emotions in their audience.

[@NotALiberalSoSkipTheScript]

Meanwhile we have theist stalkers who obsess over attention on every video who admit they know their god claims aren’t true but still come to vent with childish insults and scripts meant to obfuscate the truth. Just ask a basic question of “how do we know what you say is true” or “how do we know your god is real and others aren’t” and their main response is to lie about your position. “You have to prove everything created itself” when that’s not what anyone says. Except other theists.

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

"The power of faith" is not the faith itself, but the self deception to accept faith as a valid way to truth. So really it's not even a power, but a huge weakness, as demonstrated all too often on this and other shows! Showing power is to reject faith based belief, no matter who is urging you to it, and showing you can think for yourself, rationally, logically, and within the confines of known truth and reality!

[@dwainmarsh9139]

Jose said a tired old cliche. Not everyone has to put one pant leg on at a time. My dad used to use that line. I showed him one day how wrong that line is by sitting down and lifting both legs sliding on both pant legs, and so on. Its faster then dancing around putting one leg at a time.

"I think I saw a thing, but I'm not sure what thing I thought I saw"

[@Tenly2009]

I think the best way to get the message across to him would have been to have him describe the actually feeling WITHOUT letting him say what caused it. For example, “I felt a warmth that started near my heart and then over the next 30 seconds it radiated outwards until it encompasses my entire body and then I felt a sense of euphoria” - and totally accept the fact that he had that experience - and then separately, ask him “and what do you think caused it”. -‘D dispute that. The way the call actually went, I don’t think the caller had the abilities to separate the feeling from the source he ascribed it. It was all one thing, “The Holy Spirit entered my body” 🙄 Forcing him to separate the feeling from the cause may have flowed better into “I experienced that too and thought the same thing, but then years later, I felt it again from sex or drugs or listening to music - and realized I was wrong”

[@claudiaarjangi4914]

Yep, this is what I thought too. He doesn't understand how we all come upon our understanding of the world & our experiences. Through physical evidences of our experiences from birth. Then the language we are taught to describe those experiences. He's mixing the experience & his language to explain the "source" for it.

I knew a woman who saw unicorns in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Do I believe in her :veracity? Absolutely. Do I believe there are unicorns in the Colorado Rockies? Nope. Can I explain why *she* thought she saw unicorns? Also no. I wasn't there; I have no idea how far she was from whatever she saw, whether it was sunny or cloudy, what trees were around, what books she'd been reading that day, or even whether it might have been an early symptom of the medical issues that eventually killed her. But I hope that beautiful picture of the unicorns she saw in the mountains stayed with her and comforted her in her final moments. I hope Jose gets a better phone and/or carrier. And I hope Jose finds some better ways to think about religion. But if he doesn't find those better ways to think, I very much hope that his spiritual experiences are a comfort to him in his final moments, because as far as I can tell, that's the primary justification for religion.

[@neverendingparty1534]

@@katiebarber407 STOP w/ your stupidity. Jesus did/does exist. Keep in mind that Jesus was considered a rogue of society. An outcast of not only the church, but the community. "CRUCIFY HIM!" they shouted. I doubt the NYTimes of the time would publish an article about him. There’s just as much evidence of Jesus as there is evidence for anything else of that time. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically and historians consider the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) to be the best sources for investigating the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Galilean, Jewish rabbi who preached his message orally, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified by the order of the Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate. “Jesus did exist, whether we like it or not.” - Bart Ehrman, New Testament ATHEIST scholar - University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “That he was crucified is as sure as anything historical can ever be, since both Josephus and Tacitus... agree with the Christian accounts on at least that basic fact." - John Dominic, N.T. Scholar "There is no scholar in any college or university in the western world who teaches classics, ancient history, new testament, early Christianity, any related field who doubts that Jesus existed.” - Bart Ehrman, New Testament ATHEIST scholar - University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Historian Gary Habermas lists 39 ancient sources for Jesus, from which he enumerates more than 100 reported facts about his life, teachings, crucifiction and resurrection. In fact, the historical evidence for the execution of Jesus is so strong that one of the most famous New Testament scholars in the world - Gerd Ludemann of Germany (atheist), said “Jesus’ death as a consequence of crucifixion is indisputable.” Denying the existence of Jesus doesn’t make it go away; it only proves that no amount of evidence will convince you.

@@asyetundetermined Son, this is a war zone and I don't take prisoners. As an atheist, you have nothing to bring to the debate table, because NOTHING you believe in has ever been SCIENTIFICALLY DEMONSTRATED IN REAL TIME (e.g. big bang, abiogenesis, mistakes (mutations) gaining in complexity/new information, new anatomy differing from ancestry/evolution). I've been doing this for 50 yrs, so you stand no chance against me.

Or 2) Accept that those beliefs cannot be supported by what we actually know to be true and leave their unfounded spiritual beliefs behind.
