"It depends on what you mean by good"

He referenced a superstructure.

@Frances Snowflake straw man fallacy, false equivocation fallacy, the god of the gaps fallacy to name but a few.

@Frances Snowflake no I'm not saying this particular priest used this fallacy of straw manning but you know that many apologists are guilty of this. Though in the case of this video, it is arguable what he means by "a good atheist ". It's almost like he's treating atheism as though it was another religion. Which would be hilariously absurd. But yeah, I'm not saying he used the straw man fallacy.

@@proculusjulius7035 That's exactly what he's doing. He claims to be humble but he is truly only hiding smug arrogance behind a polite demeanor. This is evident to non-believers in the way he so confidently *mischaracterizes* what atheists are and what is supposedly required to be a "good" one. His video was patronizing to studied atheists (like RR, Matt Dilahunty, Paulogia, Holy Kool-aid, Cosmic Skeptic, etc, etc) and empty bullshit to the rest. It is probably more effective at making people who already believe feel smug in their LARGELY *unstudied*, *gullible* belief, than any kind of challenge to folks who already understand, through reason and study, how much his religion is utter nonsense.

@@hulldragon thought the same too, he's just a dishonest....

That and the thread above about RC abuse of kids. Took me decades to really come to grips with it, to finally pin my aversion to (if not outright hatred of) religion to the abuse physical, psychological and metaphysical that I suffered from the "good nuns" and "reverend" clergy. No further proof do I need for the non-existence of a just and loving god than that. That and the smug "you have not been schooled in the mysteries" bullshit answers to my questions, followed immediately by the back of a hand or the beads of a rosary. Yeah. That too. Even Stalin had better bullshit.

Perfect response, you got him, he had to go ad hominem. I would have loved for you to then say “If I am too young to understand anything at my age, why are you trying to teach me or argue with me?”

Its called politeness.

I think he is just trying to be overly nice so any discussion he has doesn't get too heated. I tend to do this myself when talking with anyone about controversial topics as it tends to keep everyone calm, friendly, and understanding. Mostly just helps to avoid people shouting over each other and allows for civil conversation. I can understand why this might come across as condescending though, so there is definitely a line.

I could imagine him talking like that to St Peter, when he is trying to talk his way into his theme park in the sky.

bro don't put a priest and a toddler in my head

That's exactly what I thought. They priest was so condecending while pretending to be nice.

thats the idea of religion? ... anyone not in your club is considered "basic". then with power comes tyrany.

Exactly. What a condescending dishonest indoctrinated drone.

‘......a god you don’t believe in.....’ gets me going from the get-go as it asserts the existence of a god/gods, an assertion that is both unfalsifiable and unprovable. This is always the arrogant starting point for religious folks; declare something a fact and then leave you to prove them wrong!

And he ends with "that's my humble message to you". Talking softly does not make you humble. If you have to state you're humble, then you really aren't humble either.

Exactly this I don't think they can understand that for the most part we are not going through life every day reminding ourselves that we don't believe in gods.

Honestly, my best personal argument in this realm is to ask them to choose to believe in Santa Clause. Unless they are literally insane, that's impossible to do, and can be used to illustrate how atheists feel toward the god of Christianity.

@@revan552 I agree with you that all works of fiction can theoretically hold equal potential. This doesn't mean that studying theology at an academic level is wasted. You may think that these theological books are just works of fiction and I agree. However their influence is enormous and people studying them academically is very important. It seems to me that you think people studying theology are interested in propagating theological ideas, this is not true. Many who study religion do it to more effectively counter it or simply to learn from it. Even if what they teach us is fiction, understanding it in depth helps us understand why some humans behave or behaved in certain ways. This makes it important to anthropological, historical and cultural studies. Therefor it should never be dismissed as a waste of time. You can study theology as a secular atheist for the benefit of society.

@@revan552 Yeah it seems I missed the 'confused with reality' bit, my bad. I'd still argue that mythology and theology has to stay in two distinct fields. Theology deals with religion and gods.

Also calling religious people fools doesn't help with anything, it serves only to further divide us and make us unwilling to listen to each other, really it's just beneath any serious conversation.

Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general. According to the researchers for whom it is named, psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the effect is explained by the fact that the metacognitive ability to recognize deficiencies in one’s own knowledge or competence requires that one possess at least a minimum level of the same kind of knowledge or competence, which those who exhibit the effect have not attained. Because they are unaware of their deficiencies, such people generally assume that they are not deficient, in keeping with the tendency of most people to “choose what they think is the most reasonable and optimal option.”

I was at Sunday school, the minister was telling his stories and I was thinking WTF (paraphrasing my ten-year-old thoughts), read the bible I had been given, repeated when I was 17 and being a born again Christian became a thing, and again in my 30's for the hell of it (get it..), and with each read became more convinced anyone who took it seriously had a psychiatric problem. It is clearly the stories of folk who had no idea about anything and were just making shit up. Like you, I think I read it more thoroughly than most of my Born again Christian friends. I suspect this is very common.

Does that mean you have to read all the other nonsense books now?

Well, that's kind of you, but you have fallen to the first fallacy (not having read the xxx book).

In this case, that would be: "OK, you did read the Bible, but you did not understand it the right way, Bro" : "You don't need to eat a whole egg to know it's rotten. "

Also if you look at protestant youtube it seems like every youtube channel have a different interpretation for a given passage in scripture.

Good logic

edit: yeah it was a bit like that. the point: atheists claim they are very rational people, they only believe in facts and reason. however they dont have a better base for morality than what christians have. they accept their subjective experience of being and their personal identity as truth. they accept moral relativism and that other people have different ideas of what is good/bad, still they cling to what they think about the world and this determine their behavior. but it is a contradiction. you cannot say that "I want this world to be good for myself and everyone else" and that John Wayne Gacy's (the childkiller clown's) concept of good/bad is no different. u have to believe that your idea of good/bad is the real one. even if it is subjective, because otherwise the concept of good/bad becomes meaningless. but how can u decide whose subjective idea about morality is the correct one? there were attempts by people like Sam Harris to make objective ethics, which failed spectacularly. this is why i wrote that u cannot know, only make a belief that u are correct. so what i want to say, u can be an atheist but u will have to face with that there will be things which u have to believe and so there is not a big of a difference between yourselves and those theists u ridicule.

@@beek014 Well, I admit the calm confidence in false beliefs makes him a little unsettling to look at, yes.

@@beek014 He's not creepy. He's actually a passionate advocate for the poor and for social and racial justice. But he's a kid at the age where he thinks he knows everything and has yet to experience the world not learned that wisdom comes from realizing how little we know for certain, not how much we think we do. Give him time to mature and his confidence will mellow. In fact, when his naivety confronts the politics and intrigue of the Catholic hierarchy, I could see him eventually leaving his order if not his faith. I've seen it happen before, particularly with young liberal priests. He's already taken a lot of heat for releasing a video that was originally titled "Abortion isn't that important" and was pointing out how lots of issues pertain to being pro-life and people who oppose abortion shouldn't automatically vote for Republicans who have caused so many deaths due to their discouraging wearing masks and getting vaccinated. He's learning. Slowly. Be patient. He thinks he's teaching us by engaging with atheists and the world at large; he's going to be the one learning though.
