    Here is a religion's definition of "God". GOD=The Universe. It shapes human growth and development by natural selection. So, let's see if that God exists. Does the Universe exist? Yes. Does it shape human growth and development by natural selection? Yes. Then, by definition, God exists.

    Sam Harris's oversight of the One Hundred and four year REDUNDANCY, IRRELEVANCES, AND OBSOLESCENCE of Atheism is hilarious, 😂😂 Absolutely HILARIOUS.😂😂. I can't wait until the EMBARRASSMENT HITS HIM where it hurts him and his cohorts most, in their pockets. The irreversible outcome for all mentally lazy atheists has finally arrived Though yet to reach the attention of these overzealous intellectually insecure minnows, I'm thoroughly enjoying the hilarity of it all. The last laugh for us grateful GOD Confirmees is so underrated, I'm taking full advantage of the opportunity given me by the redundant rhetoric UA-cam videos they record to promote their irrelevant opinions. IT'S INCREDIBLY HILARIOUS. I CANNOT THANK SAM HARRIS and his colleagues for the opportunity to shove The Greatest Science known to man that has brought an end to the tiresome worthless rhetoric of the mentally lazy. KRIYA YOGA, THE GREATEST SCIENCE EVER INTRODUCED TO MAN, for it BRINGS PROOF TO OF GOD'S REALITY THROUGH DIRECT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND IT WORKS LIKE MATHEMATICS. A FORTY-FOUR YEAR VETERAN OF THIS MOST POWERFUL WEAPON AGAINST ATHEISM, AGNOSTICISM, AND DOUBTFUL MINDS, MADE AVAILABLE TO EVERY MAN AND WOMAN. Refusing to try Kriya Yoga only devalues your opinion dramatically, making your relevance useless, worthless, unacceptable, redundant, and OBSOLETE. YOU CAN'T DENY THE EXISTENCE OF AN OMEBA IF YOU REFUSE TO LOOK THROUGH THE MICROSCOPE.

    1) The atheist supposed gotcha is that 9 million children died and they all went to hell. But this is not what Christians believe nor what scripture teaches. God is just and will judge according to how folks lived while on earth, nature, nurture and lack thereof. All of us are on our way to hell without Christ Jesus in our lives. There are a few exceptions.... 1) the mentally disabled 2) small children and 3) indigenous peoples who have died without hearing about Jesus. But for most of us, we have heard about Jesus and what we do or don't do with him is our greatest choice. Jesus died on a cross for all of our sin, our wrong doing, past, present and future. He has made a way so we can be made right again with God who is our Father in heaven. Prior to Jesus's sacrifice, God judged people by how they acted. Because all humankind is created in God's image, we all know right from wrong. I believe this logic will apply to those such as indigenous people. But for the rest of us, we get to choose Jesus! Concerning evolution, it is a fairytale that does not hold up to the scientific scrutiny. In fact, honest scientific scrutiny renders it impossible. Do you know a single scientific hypothesis using known biological mechanisms coupled with evolutionary time frames that might support common ancestry between any two animals from any two different family taxon?

    I'm an ex-Christian atheist and the likes of Sam and Hitch and the great Dawkins played a big part in my becoming one. What I absolutely hate now is people like the guy he talks to at 7:20-ish. Like, buddy... you are constantly talking from within the confines of a box you put yourself into. One thing I'd love to see is someone like Sam showing up in a LOTR costume for a debate like this and then constantly just talking in the context of LOTR. Like counter their arguments with stuff about Sauron and "as the great Gimli said" and such. And when they tell you you're being ridiculous for acting like things in those books are real, you'd just be like "See what I mean?"

    @mlayton1904 Місяць тому

    Cluesless. I will just address his total ignorance about Christianity, and not the religious misrepresentations of it. 1. God does not cause all things to happen. Jesus said, Luke 10:31 KJV - And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.". 2. The suffering in the world is what man created, not God. Romans 5:12 KJV - Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" Blame great, great,great, great,great great, great great grandaddy. Also, when Adam and Eve sinned, they did not seek forgiveness. Never said, "I am sorry". Didn't say "sorry", Even "My bad". Its God who initiated and provided reconciliation. That is why God kicked Adam out of the garden to prevent him from staying separated from him and unable to be redemmed. Genesis 3:22 KJV - And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:," 3. The miracles of Jesus are NOT used as a reason to beleive in Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV - (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)" Romans 10:17 KJV - So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Even Peter said about his experience on the Mt. of transfiguration: 2 Peter 18, "And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy" The "word" is superior to the experience. 4. Nowhere does God says he has a plan for our individuals lives. The word "plan" or "planes" is not even in a bible. 5. God does not hear all mens prayers. John 9:31, "Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will,". 6. The bible does not say a snake was in the garden of eden. It says a "serpent", speaking to character of Satan, subtle. Also, Satan means adversary. There are over 20 different descriptive names for satan. Which is why he called a beast and calf. 7. During the "dispenation of grace" there are no prophecies one can observe to know about the return of christ. 8. The next thing in the bible to happen is not the return of christ but: Romans 11:25 KJV - For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in." 9. The bible does not say we are made in God's image. It says Adam was. It says we are made Adams image. Genesis 5:3 KJV - And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:" Fallen. A sinner. Rebellious. Thats enough. Yall are listening to a guy who doesn't even know the bible. Yet you are assuming he does while leading you astray because how he speaks. He is just like Satan - subtle. Ephesians 4:32 KJV - And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

    When God allowed the slaughter of the Canaanites, etc, it was not ethnic cleansing. God also was very patient, allowing time for them to repent. Repent from what? Sexual orgies, child sacrifice and more. The evil was extreme. (Reference: Genesis 15:16 - In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure). God is not a genocidal maniac. He is long-suffering and wishing no one to perish. Many argue that God is evil for allowing evil. But when HE wipes out evil, then they call HIM evil. SHM! John 3:16 ''For God so loved the world, that HE sent HIS only begotten Son! So that whoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life''. Jesus Loves you and wants to save you.

[5]For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: [6]Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: [7]But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

    Well this is obviously false ... assume for the sake of argument no allegiance to "YHWH" and merely take "the deity" as being "The Tao" or "The Logos" or "even the Deist God "of Jefferson ... The laws of physics are what they are. Life is possible because of this. According to Sam's lights, every time a child gets sick or someone gets malaria, or tectonics move and cause a tsunami, what? the deity is supposed to suspend the laws of physics? that's just sloppy thinking. And its anti-rational and inconsistent logically. It's completely intellectually lazy to just say, "Well, I don't know how to reconcile the two so God (or whatever) just doesn't exist" The thing is, Sam is an educated PhD in neuroscience, and he fully knows that cancer is a mutation of information (telemere length mutation). He knows, furthermore, that it is a mutation of information using processes of entropy and noise upon which other physical systems make life on earth possible. So this is just polemics. He has no real point of substance, or refuses to engage with the philosophical hard problem, so he behaves philosophically like an 8th grader. Sam is (in this video at least) a complete bullshit artist. I suppose this is good for selling books though. There is no substantive argument "against" religion here , although those may be formulated, but this non-sense isn't it. Ah, if only God (or whatever) were as moral as Sam.

They are addressing the idea of a personal deity who is supposedly omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent- the god that most monotheists believe is true.

Death is a fear for both atheists and theists so the thought of being no longer here doesn’t get solved with or without religion universally. Also there is a clinging to things being fixed by both atheists and theists. Note how there are some of both thinking that science can fix global warming - ironic because it was science that caused global warming. And you fail to realize that atheists also work from fear, atheists often use the concept of “if you believe in god you are stupid” and many atheists are afraid of being stupid. It’s a bit more of a self centered concern but one based on fear. You don’t want to acknowledge that these things are common to humans not just a group they belong to.

Conciousness has recognised an authentic awareness of progressive, evolving knowledge, free from the conceit and contrivances of an ultimatum based superstitious hysteria, promoted by people who claim the authority of fabricated pieces of primeval Myth and Fiction, and want Humanity to believe, that these are "Divine", that I won't have, and it is the original repudiation.
