It's fascinating to hear about peoples journey - through - religion and onto spirituality... letting go of having to be "right" and just doing what feels right

@@Andrew_M_Ward warped!

Warped

None of you know anything about Christianity.

Religion can be anything you want it to be

Damn straight. If you were born alone on an island I guarantee you would NEVER even once consider some dude named jesus. It's a system, an invention, and an antiquated one at that. Nothing more.

The "hard" questions all have answers to those seeking the truth. The world ,nowadays, bases truth on what they feel, not on objective reality. Hence why we have many people like Aaron here who don't like the Biblical God even though He does exist and offers eternal life to those who repent and trust in Jesus. It's not about how good we are as people because no one is good. No one is sinless. All have sinned and fall short of God's glory. We are criminals awaiting your sentence at judgment day for violating God's law. That's scary and so many people make a god to suit themselves, a god who doesn't judge sinners. Unfortunately for sinners, the true God is a righteous judge and He will carry out justice. He will punish people like Hitler and Stalin, and all liars, all cheaters, all thieves etc. The sentence will vary according to the crime. The Bible says no one will say God is not just in His final judgement, basically everyone will completely agree with their sentence. Finally, God doesn't WANT to condemn anyone, the Bible says He doesn't want any to perish. But because we commit sin and break His law and just fully disregard Him as our creator who has given us life and all things, then He has no choice but to punish us because He is righteous. He is also loving, hence why 2000 years ago, God entered creation and became a man, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and received the penalty of our sins upon Himself. One thing God requires of us to receive this free unmerited gift of salvation through Jesus is to repent (turn away from sin) and trust in Jesus for the remission of our sin. The Gospel (good news) is that I, a sinner, have been justified by God, even though I deserve hell. Not because I did anything good or am a good person ( I am not and never will be good enough), but because God Himself is merciful and kind and loving beyond what you can imagine. I hope you will seek to know the truth for what it is and not for what makes you feel better. Praying for you.

MrOuchiez that’s not even close to being true, there are many accounts of Muslims and people of other backgrounds growing up having never heard of Jesus, and then they have a an encounter with him. Look up the work of DR Craig keener, he wrote a massive book documenting miracles.

MrOuchiez and to top it off, Christianity wasn’t just some invention. Nearly all scholars, both Christian and non Christian agree that the disciples really believed they had encounters with the resurrected Jesus. You can call the delusional, but you can’t say it’s just some invention. Also remember that all those disciples gave their life preaching the message of the resurrected Jesus

@@Xandy2dandY - he described what you believe exactly as the binary system of thinking? my way or the highway, if you will. We are all given a brain and consciousness, we gotta use it to discover what we are, what we believe in, what works and what not. You know Free Will. He is not trying to dictate to you that you should behave a certain way and you should not either. Each one of us is in their own journey and each of us have the right to choose.

If he doesn’t seek & find Jesus, he will have messed up big time. For all Eternity. But, that will have been of his own, ignorant choosing. God sends no one to hell. People choose it for themselves, when they reject the Only Savior who can save them from it. Aaron is very ignorant about God’s Word. Hope he realizes that one day soon, & educates himself on it. You too, Paul.

@@sonneversets3530 It's this kind of crap that makes us look nuts. Like, you have no skepticism or questions? Of course you do deep down, but you're trying to make yourself feel better by pretending not to just to be a part of something. Just say, " I feel like it makes sense, and I believe it." People will actually listen to ya if you drop the weird zombie mentality

jordan: What did I say to triggered that reply? I didn’t say any ‘crap’ at all. Of course I have questions. We all do! None of us has all the answers here. Nor will we know everything in Heaven, either. B/C none of us is the all knowing, Creator God, nor will we ever be. As for skepticism...No. None at all. I know Jesus is the Risen Son of the Living God, who sacrificed His life for me, so I can be w/Him Forever, if I so choose. And I DO choose Him, over any # of man made, False gods out there....in the thousands. I have no doubt in my heart or mind, who He is, or what He did for me & all of mankind. I follow Jesus & His teachings & have been in study w/others who do, for years. I’m not winging it on ignorance or myth, as some do. If someone is making a statement that I know to be false, I will stand up for Jesus & correct it. It’s up to that person whether they want to accept that truth, or not. I can’t force them to, anymore than God will force them to. With today’s society being so distanced from what God’s Word actually says & blurring the lines He draws with the... ‘God is Love & He loves us all, regardless...He’s not vengeful or mean, ... all roads point the same direction toward love & God...’ The total crap of ‘all inclusive’ is almost gag material, from what is the actual reality. The reality IS, there is only 1 way to God & His Perfect Heaven. And that 1 way, is through Jesus, His Perfect Blood Sacrifice for us. Jesus IS The Way, The Truth & The Life (John 14:6) & there is no other. It’s pretty simple & straightforward. Leaves no question in any true believers mind. So if people want to believe something other than that fact, then they will be finding out how wrong they were, as soon as they take their last breath here. B/C their next, will be where they chose for themselves. Stating Biblical facts has nothing to do w/trying to make myself, or anyone else, ‘feel better.’ Maybe you should look into them more yourself, so you will feel more sure about what God says, to all of us. He isn’t going to be all lovey dovey, toward anyone who rejected His Son & Savior, Jesus. He isn’t going to be all lovey dovey, during the soon to come, Tribulation, that will be lasting for 7 horrid years, for anyone who is going through it. He isn’t going to be all lovey dovey, when He once again destroys this fallen world, like He has done before, when sin was out of control all over it. And those are just a few more, Biblical Facts! Ask Him to help you draw near to Him, & give you a desire for His Truth. That’s what He wants most for you. Another fact. Be Blessed w/it.

@@hogant.551 That's always the right wing Christian go to insult, isn't it? If you can't win the argument, just call the other side "gay." The thing is, most rational people have moved on from bigotry like yours and its not really a big deal to most people if someone is gay.

Sounds scary .We all choose knowingly or unknowingly no excuses. The problem is that man seeks to make God in his own image of a convenient acceptable "god". To fit his view. But all make choices . You understand

Cody Virden Christians believe the Bible was written by man through God (the Holy Spirit).

Christianity isn’t just another religion, in fact it’s not a religion. I can explain that in one sentence. The very God Christians worship being Jesus Christ insulted the religious men of his day and called them serpents. Religion is working your way up to heaven and if you do so many good things then it will outweigh the bad. Logic tells me that one sin will remain a sin until the end of my life and it only took one sin for Adam to be separated from God. An intelligent creator being God would have to be perfect and without faults in order for him to be God in the first place so God cannot allow one sin to be passed by without judgement because that would make him a corrupt God just like our judicial systems today. Now we have a predicament. God gave us free will in order for his creation to truly love him and have relationship with him because if there’s no free will then we are all just robots for God and there’s no love there. Man has a choice to obey God or disobey God and man disobeys God and since then there has not been one perfect man in existence. Notice how Adam has to sacrifice animals in order to cover up his and his wife’s nakedness(a covering for sin). Gods only choice because he loves us is to come down himself in our flesh and live a perfect life in order to be sacrificed just as the animals were. This act of God paid our fine so that in court(Gods judgement of us), any man who is atoned by Christ’s death can be freed from their sentence(hell) and be with God forever. This is not religion, it is logic if you believe that we as humans are evil and we have fallen short of our creator. If you don’t believe there is even a creator, then you don’t believe that good and evil even exist so therefore this whole argument is invalid and that is why Satan incorporated atheism into humanity. It just hardens the hearts of men even more so that God is nothing to them. This message is to the lost and the sick only. If you are living perfectly then you don’t need this message and good luck to you.

Interesting way to end your comment and you end it with Satan's 1st lie and you blasphemy God. People who go to the lake of fire, choice to do it. You have no one to blame but yourself.

American Patriot good point brother.

youngbuck0911 Don’t think for a moment that “love” and “justice” do not coexist in God. In Genesis 5, the Bible says that “the wickedness of man was great, and every imagination of mankind was only evil continuously”. Man became unbelievably corrupt. God, being a just God, only puts up with corruption and evil for a limited amount of time.

Of course not. Have you lost your mind.

was it BECAUSE--or rather, IN SPITE--of the Gospel that the people you mention acted the way they did? and how does your behavior compare to theirs in terms of being "judgmental" (not to mention taking joy in not seeing them for years)?

esl teachor I think it’s different considering they were judging by appearance and word of mouth without actually talking to that said person. I’m reacting to their behavior towards people they didn’t know and people who were family members. See the difference? Will it make me less judgmental for me to except them even though they don’t?

@@jlnxn5374 1] my initial question concerned whether the Gospel was the source of the behavior you say you experienced, or in fact precisely what these (supposed) Christians chose NOT to follow--you offered no answer; 2] concerning "judgmental" behavior, your 2nd post puts your own argument in, if anything, still worse shape than your 1st comment: you take offense to "behavior towards people" which was based on "appearance and word of mouth," yet you're asking readers to accept your own "word of mouth" that the allegedly offensive 'Christians' had in fact acted wrongly--the people you accuse have no chance to present their side of the story, nor do you have the power to read their hearts and look beyond the "appearance" of their actions, yet you nonetheless judge them quite harshly as frauds; 3] no idea how your closing question is pertinent here, since it's unclear what your intended meaning is

Many people misunderstand the truth of Catholicism and Christianity. Even in this interview, one can tell Aaron is struggling with his faith, misconstruing things, and failing to grasp certain concepts---most likely because he wasn't taught correctly. I know I wasn't growing up, personally.

I'm glad he spoke too! Thanks for your post very insightful.

When we do not search for the truth this is what happens, we pray that he will get back to the path. Being a christian is not about just a feeling, it's about seeking truth and we found that in the bible when we see the reliability of it's word. Looks by what he said he was playing the religious walk. He was wrong in that what he said of the "choosen" to go to heaven, that is a Jehovah's Witness teaching, not what the bible says, the bible says in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. When he says that how believe in a God that will condemn all of his creation to a fire place, he is also wrong, take a look at 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. I belive that Aaron Rodgers was deceived and got on to the lie of the world. God's word says: Repent(Act 17:30, Romans 2:4, 2 Peter 3:9) and put your trust in Jesus(1 John 3:23) [Giving death to your old self] then the bible say's you shall be born again the way to achieve that is by being baptized(Mathew 28:19) and receiving the Holy Spirit(John 20:21-22) [The new born in Christ]. Please see the videos below: -kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mat5ibSHsMeyd5c.html -kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9VxYJihv8Czoqc.html

Amen TheHomy. All we can do is pray for Aaron to really seek His Truth. Over just deciding on his own, what it may be. Which will be what it is for many.... whatever sounds good to them, that matches pretty much w/their own, personal beliefs.

Nick Guenther really well said. I’m praying for Aaron. It would be nice to see him hear the true Christian Gospel. May he meet Ravi Zacharias! Let us pray. #Praying4Aaron!

It doesn't matter who it was taught by, what matters is it was taught at all. You can find all kinds of crazy teachings in every kind of religion.

Nick: Thanks for posting all that. I was going to say he is well off base w/the 144,000 & confusing them w/the 144,000 appointed by God during the Tribulation, to spread the Gospel. A faaar cry from only 144,000 that will be going to heaven. That is taught by JW. And pretty much end it w/that. You went much further.👍 And no Aaron. *God sends NO ONE to hell. People choose it for themselves, with the Free Will God gives them.* He didn’t create puppets & robots. We use our Free Will daily & make our own choices on what we think, believe, say & do...daily. Aaron is sure glad he is blessed w/Free Will from God, just as we all are. It’s what we choose to do w/it, that makes all the difference. Not just in this world & life. But all the difference in our chosen Eternity. I too, will pray for Aaron, that he asks Jesus to Reveal Himself to him. So he can do another interview & retract what he’s said here. B/C he will then know better, & stop speaking from his chosen ignorance, that will lead him & countless others, to an eternity of regret.

@@OttoByOgraffey It absolutely matters who and what is taught. With respect, I don't think you understand the divide between the true Gospel and the JW gospel. In this case we're talking the destiny of billions, about absolute truths, not merely doctrinal preferences. As Ravi Zacharias says, all religions are superficially the same and fundamentally different. As you study the pillars of each faith you'll see the chasm between them widen. But 90% of people don't study, they lazily think the saying is the way around. And the real crazy teaching that exists in our world today is that something came from nothing.

@@NickGuenther21 read my comment again. It's the fact it's taught, period. Once again, there is enough crazy stuff taught from ANY religion.

Mojo Maximus yes, it’s 2020, and neo evangelicals are adding to the Bible and making God the way they want Him to be instead of the way He is. I’m not foolish, it’s foolish to remain ignorant of our creator. But I am not saying you are a fool. I just hope you’ll read your Bible for your own sake. Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. What’s destructive is Hell. Hell awaits those who fail to follow God’s instructions for salvation.

@@douglasjcox it doesn't matter what year it is. God doesn't change. We are all sinners. Making up your own God is idolatry. Ask for forgiveness, turn from sin and trust in Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. It's a free gift of eternal life.

@RaggsNation thanks anyway stay civil

@RaggsNation What "facts" are you referring to? Seems like you're preaching biased opinion to me.

@RaggsNation I did. He didn't. If it's important that we know about this god, and this god wants us to know about him... Then he is doing a terrible job.

@RaggsNation I'm sorry but there is just so much wrong with your claims. If there were actually one real and true God who cared... Then there wouldn't be thousands of different religions and beliefs all over the world, and throughout time. ...but there is. The number one deciding factor that determines your beliefs on a god, ...is where you are born. And no, your version of god does not show itself to those who ask. That is a lie. I believed with all my heart as a child, as I was indoctrinated to do, but no matter how I asked, no god revealed itself. Also, "free will" is no excuse. A god could show itself to exist, and it would not negate what you call "free will" As I could still choose whether or not to worship said god, or follow its wishes, etc... There is no science that proves a god. If there was, you could present it and collect your Nobel Prize, as it would be the biggest world changing Discovery ever. ...yet it hasn't happened. Yes there are scientists who believe, this is mostly *despite* all logic and evidence, thanks to something called cognitive dissonance. They try to "prove" their beliefs with biased approach, but their claims have yet to stand up to any scrutiny. Yes there have been former non-believers whom turned to religion. But they almost always do so out of emotional reasons, not out of sound logic or reasoning. Yet there have been plenty of devout who, while looking to defend their beliefs, look for the evidence and reasoning to do so.... Only to find there is none. And so any intellectually honest person would have no choice other than to lack belief in such things.

@RaggsNation You seem like a nice person, but here are just a few issues I have with your claims: - I was never "angry" at God, just like I was never angry at Santa Claus. I simply deduced they were both made up, once I reached the age of reason. - Some of the most messed up, miserable, and greedy people I know.... Are also the most religious. Where as, I am a non-believer and I consider myself a generally good, honest, happy, and contented person. - You make claim after claim after claim... But you do not back any of these claims up with anything. You acknowledge how many other religions there are, and the followers of those make claims *just like you do.* Why don't you believe them? Why would I believe any of you over the other? ...and no, claiming " because I'm right" means nothing, as you/they *all* say that. - let's just cut to the chase. Does your God exist? Does your God want me to know he exists? Does your God have to ability to demonstrate he exists? If yes to all these, then he would do that. He could and would do it right now and prove you right. ....but he doesn't. So, either he doesn't care. He doesn't have the ability. Or... He simply doesn't exist. And again, I think you misunderstand what I said about free will. A god could demonstrate itself to exist. It could show itself for all to see... And this would *NOT* negate or infringe on ones free will. Again, knowing a particular god exists, does not mean I would worship it, or agree/follow its wishes. You end with Pascal's Wager. This is a terrible fallacious argument for belief in god. You should look into it. But the basic is: I can't *choose* to actually believe something I don't. I'm either convinced enough or not. So I could only pretend to believe, and an all powerful God would know I was pretending right? Also, what if you are worshipping the wrong God, and by doing so, you are only making the real God more angry? What if god values qualities like logic, reason, and intellectual honestly over blind faith, etc....

God is love He sends no one Hell but He respects our Free Will. Please read Peter Kreeft, Matthew Kelly, Fulton Sheen and Bishop Barron. Also slowly prayerfully ask God to speak to you & read the Gospels.

(1) You are not God, therefore you do not have the right to request of anything in terms of power outside of yourself (i.e. creating the universe, being born, existence). (2) Nowhere in the Bible does it say that life is a gift from God. God never asks that we worship Him as our payment form to Him for creating the universe and us.

An intelligent creator being God would have to be perfect and without faults in order for him to be God in the first place so God cannot allow one sin to be passed by without judgement because that would make him a corrupt God just like our judicial systems today. Now we have a predicament. God gave us free will in order for his creation to truly love him and have relationship with him because if there’s no free will then we are all just robots for God and there’s no love there. Man has a choice to obey God or disobey God and man disobeys God and since then there has not been one perfect man in existence. Notice how Adam has to sacrifice animals in order to cover up his and his wife’s nakedness(a covering for sin). Gods only choice because he loves us is to come down himself in our flesh and live a perfect life in order to be sacrificed just as the animals were. This act of God paid our fine so that in court(Gods judgement of us), any man who is atoned by Christ’s death can be freed from their sentence(hell) and be with God forever. This is not religion, it is logic if you believe that we as humans are evil and we have fallen short of our creator. If you don’t believe there is even a creator, then you don’t believe that good and evil even exist so therefore this whole argument is invalid and that is why Satan incorporated atheism into humanity. It just hardens the hearts of men even more so that God is nothing to them. This message is to the lost and the sick only. If you are living perfectly then you don’t need this message and good luck to you.

@@crimsonstreams--well stated.

none of us are perfect but we are righteous only because of Christ' blood and sacrifice. We need to stop the acting in our churches like we are, and be real. But, when we are real, then non believers say things like you did.

Aaron is so mixed up....God does not condemn most people to hell. He loves us so much he died for us. He gave us free will to love him back, or turn our backs to him. We condemn ourselves.

@@davidweymouth113 Does god not set the rule by which we would be judged? If he does, then he is the one condemning us. He also knows what will happen and still chooses to set those parameters, knowing full well that certain people will never be able to meet that standard.

But all he took from religion is that "people are going to Hell, it's unfair" hardly inspiring

@@johniec5282 I'm a Catholic and the only time this was brought up was if you did something really vile, you would go to Hell. I guess that depends on who teach you the teneths. Maybe Aaron's parents were crazy. That would explains his revoltion for the religion.

@@johnnyskinwalker4095 Not only that apostates go to hell according to the holy manual( Mathew 10:28), but also in some instances they are punished with death.( Deuteronomy 13:6). Some loving god we have there .This is in case such deity exists, which I doubt very much.

How about questioning for a change? As usual the indoctrinated are not allowed to question their superstitions. It seems magic is real to them and they do not question it.

Mithras: Why don’t you question Jesus on if He’s real, than please Reveal Himself to you? God never refuses a sincere heart. Just don’t expect how He does it, to be the way you think He should. He’s going to make sure it sticks. ;) Best to you in your journey for truth. Most of us have been there.

@@cheesehead6710 Careful, your Biblical ignorance is shining. ;) God _hates_ sin. And He got rid of it, b/c the world was too far gone past the tipping point. He’s getting ready to do it again. Just not w/a flood this time. Just as He told us, over 2,000 yrs ago. This world is beyond putrid. Even for sinners. Can’t imagine what a Holy & perfect God feels. But His Word, that has never been wrong, tells us the results. I know God wins! And so do all His Faithful. And we all will live in unimaginable peace, love & perfection, forever, once He’s finished erasing the blight from this putrid planet, yet again. Man just can’t help himself. He just constantly needs to screw everything up. Hell bent on destruction. Literally. :/ Which is why mankind desperately needs a Savior. No one else but Jesus, is capable of saving anyone from themselves. Sad you don’t know that fact. You can, anytime you want to, however. Just ask Him. :)

Christianity isn’t just another religion, in fact it’s not a religion. I can explain that in one sentence. The very God Christians worship being Jesus Christ insulted the religious men of his day and called them serpents. Religion is working your way up to heaven and if you do so many good things then it will outweigh the bad.

I also wonder which you hold in higher esteem "love" or "exploring all possibilities?"

You have also forfieted your morality. Come back to reality before your bloodline realize your cultish mindset

Faith isn't deep or complex. Faith is the practice of choosing to believe what you want despite evidence that is contrary to that belief, or evidence that doesn't exist. Anyone can choose to believe literally anything on faith.

Please. Your God is a jealous God and spiteful and killed everyone on Earth but one family. For what. Nothing apparently cuz nothing has changed. Also that's incest. So that explains alot actually ....

somelikeithot38 Context is everything in the Bible and “jealous God” means that we aren’t allowed to worship pagan gods. The people of that day were evil with no regard for obeying laws so in that context, God eliminated those committing evil.

I'm very sorry to hear of your bad experiences. But what about your sins? Did you really ever consider your own sins or did you just attend church because they told you to? I encourage you to engage the claims of Jesus and the validity of those claims because that's what it's all about. People will always disappoint us. Jesus doesn't like it either. So it's Him you should engage. Don't let fallible humans be your Jesus.

@@CoreyFuneral I actually left after reading the Bible so.... Lol maybe try reading it. It's hot garbage. And Jesus was the most immoral character in the whole book (devil included) for bringing about the idea of infinite punishment for finite crime with no reason for the torture but the pain. You should read the book. Also I don't think sin is a thing as it is dependant on a god. For Atheist it's about morality. Which is dependant on an understanding of human well being and the universe we find ourselves in. Which means it is constantly improving. But most of all a god just does not make any logical sense. We have no evidence, proof, valid argument, or good reasoning to believe one even exists so.... I don't. So do you have any evidence? Because if not I do understand and appreciate (to a degree) your response, but it is entirely without good argument as I have read the book and found it and it's message of, "carblanc" morals (so long as you like your god's kid) entirely wanting.

@@49perfectss what makes you think your crimes are finite? Regarding morality - it seems to me there is no objective morality if God does not exist. In fact there is a philosophical deductive argument for the existence of God based on morality. It goes like this: 1. If God does not exist then objective moral values and duties do not exist. 2. Objective moral values and duties do exist. 3. Therefore, God exists. If premise 1 and 2 are true then the conclusion logically and inescapably follows. Therefore with which premise do you disagree with? "Improving" morality is an epistemological endeavor as we progress and come to an understanding of what is good and right. But the "basis" or "grounding" for morality does not exist if atheism is true. Unless you can offer the grounding. And I'm very interested in hearing your basis for morality. There is plenty of evidence for God. Such as the argument I just shared regarding morality. But I imagine by evidence you mean scientific proof. Which is called scientism and is a self defeating claim. There are many questions science cannot answer. So one cannot conclude all truth by science and one who dismisses evidence beside empirical proof just does not understand how evidence works. Therefore, I encourage you to delve into these matters more and seek out the plethora of arguments that are available for the existence of God if you're stuck in an intellectual rut regarding theism and the existence of God. I'm not talking about the bible. I'm talking about intellectual arguments. A discussion regarding the bible can take place later. Best to you.

@@CoreyFuneral crime is finite because you evidentially die. Meaning you can't commit anything after that. Even Hitler's crimes were finite. And yes I know I just failed the Gershwins law lol. And yes I believe if Hitler is still in hell (specifically if it's the Catholic version that every second is a subjective 1,000 years of literally pure torture that you can't even fathom) that he has suffered more than enough. Like WAY more. Because at that point he has been torn apart and raped and burned and turned inside out, and invaded by butt spiders (the good place is a great show) and I don't even know what for the last 3,153,600,000,000 YEARS! What the fuck is moral about torturing someone for 3 QUADRILLION YEARS without even a chance for redemption? Especially when you acknowledge that there are A LOT of very good people in hell according to your religion.that are burning for longer. I would just say to annihilate people like him after death as torture for tortures sake is entirely immoral. Like your Jesus for introducing the idea. Before him the afterlife was called Shiol (spelling?) And was described as resting with your fathers. Like a deep sleep. I don't believe objective morality exists. So the first premiss needs addressing. Can you provide evidence it does? If not that claim in your premiss is dismissed along with the rest of the argument. I think we can agree on what we mean by morality and go from there but nothing in the universe means we have to choose to be moral. It's just something every social species does to varying degrees. Considering how many priests and pastors (to say nothing of how you are represented in US prison populations) don't seem to care about your gods judgement or commands (your version of morality) your side has the same issue of not having an objective and undeniable foundation. Which is a good thing because your god (who changes entirely between the old and new testament) condones slavery and forcing a woman to marry her rapist. Or be stoned if she didn't scream loud enough. Gross. You should read that book. Is pretty obvious you haven't yet. Which shows how much stock you put in it lol. I would suggest a different way of saying, "if atheism is correct" as atheism makes no claims. It is just a rejection if the theist claim. If you are taking to an anti-theist that would change though. My foundation for morality is human well being. As is yours. Because you don't believe we should own people or that wearing clothes made from two different threads is a sin like Leviticus 19:19 says. And remember the Bible says all sin is equal so you wearing a polycloth blend would be the same as you killing your mother. Because the Bible is utterly ridiculous. Asking for evidence is not "scientism" it is just asking if you can prove your claim had any merit. You trying to dodge giving evidence just tells me you have none so thanks for capitulating that question. You have no evidence at all. That's literally the only message you got through there 😉 If I said there was a god eater that consumed your god and crapped him out as our universe and you asked for evidence would you be satisfied if I said you are just using "scientism"? I doubt it lol. So I am making that claim now. Don't ask for evidence! That's just scientism hahaha. There are many things that science HAS NOT answered I'll agree. But to say that science CAN NOT answer them is nothing but an astounding amount of arrogance. It suggests you know what we will find out in the future. Which is...... Not true lol. We find new areas of science all the time! Dodging providing evidence is the actual self defeating position buddy. And I didn't ask for imperial proof. I asked for evidence. And described what that is. Which you just admitted (taking the long way around) that you have none. Which is the atheist position so thanks for showing that we have a very valid claim there. Lastly I have had MANY intellectual conversations on the arguments for god. Know what happened? They all failed. Three turned to atheism hahaha (I laugh but I also remember them fondly as they were honest). So do you have a valid argument? I just dismissed your argument from morality as I do not agree that moral values exist outside sentient judgement. And there is not a link between objective morality and a god until you can show one. The second premiss was a claim you didn't prove either. So..... Can you provide either a way that morality is what you claim it is, or another argument that is valid? Because I have been doing this for over a decade and have not got a single one. If I had I would be a theist. See how that works?

@@49perfectss I think survivors of the Holocaust might disagree with you regarding the finiteness of crimes. I think survivors of family members who have been murdered might disagree with you regarding the finiteness of crimes. The act is finite but the repercussions are perpetual and eternal. Because we have violated the moral essence of God who said, "you shall not murder." Hence, we need Jesus. Regarding Hitler being in hell that topic is utterly irrelevant to whether or not God exists. Because there is debate even within Christendom as to whether or not hell is a literal fire where people are tormented eternally in physical pain or whether all the hellfire and anguish we read about in the bible is metaphorical. The letter from Paul, Silas, and Timothy in 2 Thessalonians 1:8,9 explains, "He will come with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with eternal destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power." It mentions "eternal destruction." It does not seem that destroying something means it's standing in fire for eternity. Nonetheless, again, it's up for debate and has no bearing on the existence of God. ( And as an aside, not to be petty, but the law you cited about mentioning Hitler is Godwin's law ).

Hes ignorant about all things God. There is no 144,000 going to Heaven, that is the Jews who Flee Judea and that is not 144,000 its a Metaphor for the 1/3 of the Jews who repent. And God condemns NO ONE, by rejecting the FREE Pardon we condemn ourselves to living outside of God's presence forever, and God is life, there is no life outside of God. Man sinned, God didn't, God just can not come into the Presence of sin. Mary couldn't even touch Jesus after he was risen, to do so would have DEFILED the Sacrifice {Jesus} before he went to Heaven and offered the Sacrifice that replaces our death sentence. If you refuse the free gift of a pardon, then who is the fool ? The Death Row Inmate who refuses a pardon would be mocked as he walked towards the gallows !!

@@MrRondonmon that makes no sense. If I built a car from scratch and the transmission goes out, it's not my fault for putting together a faulty transmission? What would be even worse is if I claimed I could see in the future and knew it would go out, made it anyways, and someone who bought the car was stranded because of it. Saying god is all knowing, all loving, and all wise and then saying he created flawed lifeforms and then moving the blame from him to this flawed creation is a contradiction. Why is everything good we do attributed to god, but everything bad attributed to either satan or humanity itself? Makes no sense. None at all.

If you've read the bible, youd know the god of the old testament was a straight up psychopath.

I have studied a lot of religions, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe only 144,000 people are going to survive and that people burn in hell. They do not believe anyone burns in hell. They believe hell is a place of inactivity and that you feel nothing. You no longer exist. They believe a certain number of people are going to heaven to live forever and a large, unknown number of people (probably billions) are going to live forever on a paradise earth. Maybe that will fix you and Aaron's confusion. You both seem to be mixing Catholicism with Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs. Catholics believe in a burning hell. Not Jehovah's Witnesses.

@@daletwin1 Bottom line is that JWs do not believe that Jesus IS God, which disqualifies them to proclaim themselves as Christians. The 144,000 are mentioned in the book of Revelation, where upon, during the 7-year tribulation just prior to the return of Jesus, 144,000 Jews, who will be protected by God, will be super evangelists in the world.

@Game Hackz I know that hellfire is a concept borrowed from pagan religions. It is not an original Christian concept or teaching. Unfortunately, it was adopted into Christianity and many Christians now believe that God burns some people forever. Early Christians believed that when a person died they felt nothing. Solomon speaks about the condition of the dead in Ecclesiastes chapter 9: 4-6 "There is hope, however, for anyone who is among the living; for even a live dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten. Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.…" The dead are not tormented in an eternal fire. They feel and know nothing. Just like when animals die.

@Cameron Grant I left the Catholic church and became one. To finish my thought about what happens at death, it is interesting to note what Jesus said when his friend Lazarus died at John chapter 11: "After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.” His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep. So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” So, here Jesus clearly shows that we go to sleep in death and this goes along with what Solomon said about the condition of the dead. Jesus spoke many times about the resurrection. It was what he taught and what the early Christians believed. They believed that those in the grave would live again. Jesus said a John 5: 28, 29: "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice and come out" . . So, people do not burn in hellfire.

@Cameron Grant yes, they do. And Jesus warned that Christianity would do the same thing after his death. He was right. It really started to go that way with Constantine who mixed paganism with Christianity which started the modern type of "Christianity" we have today which is quite different than the original teachings.

AniMaL what if someone else acknowledges that they’re not perfect just like you, but that they want a life full of love and improvement and relationships, only Jesus isn’t included in any of those relationships? If this was the case do you truly believe they will be tortured forever? Despite all of the great things about faith and fellowship, at a certain point I realized it was impossible for me to reconcile the idea of a completely loving God with the concept of eternal damnation for finite crimes, the absolute antithesis of love and justice.

The same thing that was happening before you were born obviously.

Why does it matter what happens after you die? Really, like what difference does it make? You have fear of hell? Bah, what a joke.

I agree that when you die, your brain ceases to function and the body decays....but those material elements are not your "soul" -- or "personality" if you will -- the "consciousness" part of you that makes choices and decisions. Don't you wonder, at least sometimes, about such things? But hey, thanks for asking! Chat more later....maybe.

Fake.

There is no one, monolithic 'organized church.' Most American evangelicals support a President who opposes darn near everything Jesus said and did, while other churches reject the President. The Catholic Church is led by a Pope who proclaims climate change as an existential threat to the planet, while many other churches calling themselves 'Christian' take the opposite view. Similarly, there are a multiplicity of Christologies and theologies that reduce the simplistic notion of an 'organized church [that] communicates Christ' to rubbish. The notion that there is one organized church that speaks for Christians is a delusion.
