Religion VS Reality
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2015
- When presented together, the two propositions in this video are obviously silly, yet only one of them is recognized as such. Why? Perhaps it has something to do with how our standards shift when we’re dealing with reality as opposed to dealing with something far more fantastical. Perhaps it also has something to do with having a well established political and social system of norms and traditions backing up and perpetuating one of those silly propositions, often presented to us by loved ones when we were vulnerable children, or emotionally compromised by something.
Why do people accept such silly beliefs, but then live as though they don’t actually believe those things? Perhaps it’s because servitude to a lifetime of running from the whip, whilst chasing the carrot, is too exhausting. I tend to think it’s just not real enough for them, and they’re lying to themselves, a skin-deep lie, because they want it to be true. Maybe they don’t believe as sincerely as their facade makes it seem. After all, if I believed my existence in eternity depends upon what I do in this fleeting instant of a life, then my every waking moment would be devoted to that eternity. Yet that’s not what we see when we look at most believers. We see people standing in line at the bank. We see people sitting in traffic, suffering occasional road rage. We see people not concerned with eternity. We see people concerned with reality.

I love the smell of logic in the morning.
What do you think logic smells like? I imagine something invigorating that brings clarity to the senses, like spearmint.

If atheism=religion
Then
Water=vodka without alcohol
Bald=hair color

I can continue but a lot of people already see how ridiculous it is
it's a religion of skepticism and denying.
+Huỳnh Thiên Trung religion is:
the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
Atheism is: the belief in no gods.
(By definition)
The belief in gods, doesn't equal the belief in no God.
Saying Atheism and religion are the same is kinda like saying life and death are the same.
It's not a religion
There is no religion. Only successful sects and unsuccessful sects.
If atheism = religion, then
Off = TV channel
Abstinence = sex position
Threats of eternal damnation also work wonders in getting people to join up.
+alpha centauri They try the carrot first, if that does not work then they pull out the whip.
+Nikolaos Skordilis Kind of a "shame->guilt->carrot->whip (and if all else fails kill)" gameplan.
alpha centauri Not unless your denomination doesn’t believe in hell. Like just believes in death or paradise
Ser Kraus The Catholic Church can’t make it’s mind up if followers should believe in Hell or not at the moment.
The Pope says Hell is not real while the Vatican is opposing him saying it is.
I don't believe in damnation. For people who don't believe in God to begin with, most think they will just cease to exist. That's basically what I believe if you don't live forever in Heaven. If God is extremely loving, then there is no such thing as eternal torment.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with my Lit professor, who also teaches Hebrew scripture. Assuming for the sake of argument that the Christian heaven exists, and is exactly as the tenets of Christianity describe it, there are going to be a lot of disappointed Christians. The popular conception of the afterlife is that it's a place of happiness, where you can do all the activities you enjoyed in life without consequence. However, think about that for a second. You won't be able to have sex, because you're dead, and there's no need for sexual reproduction. You won't be able to eat your favorite foods, because you're dead, and have no metabolism. You won't be able to meet long lost loved ones, because what guarantee do you have that they ended up in the same place? If you left friends and family behind on Earth, you won't be allowed to cry for them, because God wipes away your tears and forces you not to mourn. For all you know, you could end up the equivalent of a brain in a jar once you get to heaven, because you no longer need a body to stay alive. You won't be able to do the activities you enjoyed in life, because if you're in heaven, you're only there to fulfill your one desire, which is to be with God forever. Although I'm non-religious and my professor is a theologian, we ended up agreeing.
People base their concept of heaven on their experiences in life, because that's the only frame of reference they have. Yet the things in life that we find most fulfilling all stem from the fact that we will eventually die and therefore have to make the most of our time here. Take that away and all you're left with is doing the same thing for eternity, for no reason at all. And really, do you want to spend an eternity doing nothing but kissing the ass of a petty genocidal tyrant like the Biblegod?
+FrozenWolf150 Yep heaven is boring, Hell is the place to go :)
+FrozenWolf150 Nice point you made! And, I loved the "brain in a jar," analogy:) That pretty much sums it up. I have to think there is more, beyond this existence, however...not in a religious sense, by any means. More along the lines of reincarnation. The word "resurrection," is anagram for "intercourser."
Firstly, the word "intercourse" is strange wording for the sexual act, when one really thinks about it. Breaking the word down...Inter means to place a dead body in a grave or tomb....Inter(-) means between; among; in the midst of....and Courser means one who courses through a continuous passage or progress through time, or a succession of stages, like in the course of a battle, in the course of a year, or perhaps in the course of a certain time allotment or eternity. Maybe one's placement is dependent on their previous knowledge and deeds??
+tabularasa0606 Given that the vast majority of scientists go to Hell, I'm figuring that they've already found a way to turn that fire and brimstone into a sustainable energy system for the use of all inhabitants including, of course, heat for the still producing fine whiskey.
+FrozenWolf150 It is not that there aren't philosophical counter arguments to the lack of body or metabolism in heaven - after all, God could just make your soul experience the happiness without needing the body. What is *really* funny is that the Christian ideals of happiness in heaven are all based on corporeal forms of happiness on earth.

So if someone has an imaginary friend they are labelled crazy but people who actually worship and construct their entire lives around magical and super powerful beings aren't? Logic.
And when very young kids do it its cute. When they're older they're expected to then grow out of it, and replace it with one that has a book behind it.
Dark Vulcan Just things most people don’t think about, and it sucks that these people are pressured and feel crazy because of this, I try not to judge and be understanding, people do have mental disorders but at least it’s not immoral stuff like what Christians believe in and your crazy for believing something that isn’t your widely accepted fairy tale. Human psychology can just be so strange.I just hate so much all the issues thinking like this causes and how many people’s lives are ruined, how many lives taken because of people feeling they are crazy because of societal pressures.
@@alexangell903 For sure. I had this conversation with a (spiritual, but not main-stream religious. Self described pegan) friend last night because she sings for the choir of a Catholic chruch (For the music, not the other aspects). I brought up the idea that people may also gravitate towards the sense of community they feel from it when they're feeling down, to which we both agreed that that's how they get you. Furthermore the fact that they have to prey on the vulnerable to gain a following is despicable, and a sign of what she called a "bad religion," or a cult.
Dark Vulcan yes I was preyed on in a lot of ways by two Christians one being a pastor, I put my comment on his newest video it was very sick.
This whole comment section REEKS of r/atheism. Blatant hatred of religious people, harassment in trying to deconvert, seeing religious people as intellectually inferior etc.
This video is pure gold
It's gold, mixed with platinum, knowledge, and wisdom.

As soon as you start explaining something to a religious person they click off their brain and eventually say "whatever, you believe what you want to believe" It's like trying to explain a little kid that 2+2=4 but the kid says "whatever, I don't believe you, my mom said it was 5"

I'm digging your content. It's not coming across as malicious towards the religious folk, yet is able to politely mock the logic of the "Faith > Logic" crowd.
Good job. I'm genuinely impressed.
Look up 'Jesus and Mo' cartoons online: they have a similar thing going on- they're astute and funny without being cruel. The author just gently points out the plot holes in a few religious books...

As a general rule, people who leave a religion are a lot smarter than those who convert to it.
Logorrheic i dont think its because people leave religion that they are intelligent, but because they are more intelligent - they will ask themselves and stop believing.
Thanks...I left Christianity, and now I'm an Atheist.
Stupid people believe they are smarter than other people.
Ahmad Alshamsi Yes some do. Not all though.
It's not really all about intelligence, although it does play a role. The main thing is to have the courage to question your own beliefs and what you were taught. Alot of intelligent people just can't bring themselves to question their religion because they were taught that questioning is wrong and blind faith is good. Also their ego won't bring them to admit that they were wrong this whole time.
why is it so awesome being in heaven for all eternity? what do you actually do in heaven that's so awesome? read books? watch tv? talk to god or jesus about how much you love them? shit would get old after about 10 years, and then you're stuck there for all eternity, i'd rather have nothing happen to me after i die cuz heaven or hell both seem worse
+Climbatiz Well I do want reincarnations because we're just living in a phase right now, a phase where a piece of metal object can detect finger prints and where peace had taken place. It's nice living in this generation but I don't want to just live in this phase. Imagine what our world would be like in the next 100 years or so and I would want to experience that :)
+Gentaky what if there's an apocolypse which at some point will happen, or do you expect reincarnation to happen anywhere in the universe
If there's an apocalypse sure let it happen. I won't mind being a part of it.
+Gentaky and afterwards when the earth is void of life your reincarnation cycle will end?
Yeah that would most likely be it xD It would be a very interesting journey tho

It's interesting when you think about how the money can be a representation for the years spent following the religion. Spending all that time, effort, and basing your whole like after something that may not even be there. I love these videos, they really make you think.

every religion in a nutshell...if one still doesn't feel like being an atheist, one should embrace a reasonable belief system like maybe Buddhism...
Indeed it is not, and I should have expressed myself better. My statement was merely an opinion.
Buddhism is not a Religion some Religions branched out of it, but the Teachings of Budha are Not a Belief System it's more of A Awareness not blind Faith like Religion
That's exactly why I said ''reasonable'', because blind faith is anything but reasonable.
Tonni page I think you got it wrong, some religions didn't branch off of Buddhism, buddhism branched off of a religion, namely, Hinduism
Yeah that works in theory.
But Thailand is a mostly Buddhist country. Spend some time there and observe how it has virtually no bearing on how they live their lives.
An example would be a carload of drunk monks in Pattaya (a small city with close to 30,000 hookers), with meth in their blood.
They are all about image as well, which isn't Buddhist at all.
Corrpution is rife everywhere. Again, not Buddhist like.

+Your Friend hahaha time is money
+chrisose
I think that in the second offer the amount of time (beeing infinity, which is pretty long) replaces the price (which was a pretty cheap price for the house). Just a thought.
+chrisose The money situation wasn't part of the first proposal, it was just to a way to represent the house's availability to her.
+chrisose I think everyone just assumes having 'belief' costs you money or at least they *should* knowing the many of the hundreds of thousands of massive, luxury and even 'super' churches were not built for free.
At least we know for sure who J K Rowling (Joanne Rowling, born 1965) is, and that she definitely writes fiction.
Wait 1000 years and let someone find a Harry Potter Book buried somewhere. It won't be fiction anymore. He'll be a savior of humanity.
I see you’re buying in to the conspiracy that her books are fiction. It was actually written and submitted as a biography but Voldemort’s lawyers bribed the publishers to change its classification to fiction so that people would not know if was real...
I be a DOCTOR yoooooooooo I think about that all the time... it’s one of my main arguments against blindly following religion
Once the topic becomes religion their standards change.
From reading these comments religious people are okay with not asking questions.. The 2 variables of this video were one in the same, the situation of the house is the same as religion but people are saying that doesn't count because he was trying to get her to spend her money but when you think about it when people just accept religion without really knowing what it is they are sacrificing their ability to think on their own, they live in fear & division for the short time here on earth.. It's the same thing. Partaking in the unknown with hope or faith that it's everything ppl make it out to be
They're stupid because it is the exact situation. Yeah, the house example was trying to get her to pay money, but Christians are trying to get us to devote our entire lives on a being that might not even exist.
And the Churches still want their Money, so it's really the same
Daletia
It's actually not the same both people in the video are advertising places of residents (locations) while real religion (Christianity at least) advertises God, a relationship with God, and everything that comes with him which just so happens to include heaven. The video actually makes a point worth noting, I have seen some conversations between atheist and Christians, and quite a few of them are lacking personal testimonies (which is something so important that people will believe it over physical evidence or lack thereof) one of the reasons Jesus was so saught after by people was because people talked about him and what he did.
If you don’t mind me asking, are you atheist? I’m asking because as a black man I never thought in a million years I’d come across a black woman of no religion on UA-cam, let alone someone so beautiful. Not trying to be flirtatious or anything just making an observation. I’d appreciate it if you could respond. Thanks!
I regret to inform you that she is now fucking someone else.
Isn't this like the car sell video?
+UltraAnimaniac101 it is very similar, i thought so too
+UltraAnimaniac101 not really. the car sale is talking about religion/god in general, this video is about heaven in paticular. people are willing to "pay" in order to reach heaven-a place they have never seen. however, they will never pay for a house they have never seen.
This is the exact same video, just without multiple people arguing over the specs.
+Bill Ryan (CucoDelDiablo) amazing item for sale, but you can verify none of it because the owner won't allow it. What's really been added here, except the last bit? It's a great animation, but the differences aside from the believers arguing are virtually nonexistent.
+UltraAnimaniac101
The difference is small but significant.
The car video is about how can you tell who has the truth if all the people have a different and conflicting description of the car if it even exists at all.
This one is about how people will reject the car or house because they can't see or touch it, but accept religion which you can't see or touch as well.
This video saved me 5 hours of explaining it to someone slowly. They still didn't get it, but they have a infestation problem in their literal home, so bad choices is just their groove I guess.

The good old "It's not about the truth, it's about faith." argument. How does this faith hold any value if there's nothing to support it, or even worse, if it's based on lies? No hate, just something I often wonder about.
@@mihai10stoica we kind of need faith in something in order to study it. I mean, for years we only had faith that, for example, the earth was flat. So we studied it and found out the truth. And we only have faith that other universes and realities exist, nothing to prove them; we only have faith when we're facing a rough time... are you getting it?
The only bridge that holds up the conception of God is faith, they only rely on faith, and that's everything. No proof, only faith. And there's nothing bad about it unless it blinds you, like total faith in god, got it?
I dont know if I explained it well but i tried, my English vocabulary is still limited
@@annarquia_ Well you can certainly theorize about something, in order to study it, but to dedicate your whole life to it, or go around telling people they're in for an eternity of torture if they believe otherwise and spread ridiculous concepts as truth...
"And there's nothing bad about it unless it blinds you, like total faith in god" - Isn't that how you're supposed to do it? lol. And of course it's bad. How do you expect to make good decisions based on incorrect information?
I think most of you do not realize that the motivation for christians to live a good life and help others is not hell. If you study the old vs the new testament you will see how what jesus says and thinks is so different than what is written before. We are not living a life of fear, we are not making decisions based on ohh, I would do this, but then I'd go to hell so nahh. For example, you see a toddler on the street alone, why don't you murder her? Are you just afraid of prison? Or are you just a better person than that? Our motivation for good is simply to do good, and nothing more. God is not a policemen we fear, but a parent we love. We have a relationship with him, which is loving and trusting and we find him within ourselves. And in the end, if he doesn't exist, then what? We lived a life full of good, love, respect, happiness, and care. It is not about the afterlife, or not just about that. I hope you understood it, my english is a work in progress.
@@eperke2933 If all christians thought and acted as you describe, they'd probably be atheists by now, haha. But when I go to churches and see old ladies crawling around mumbling 'prayers', and kissing pictures, and teaching their grandsons to do the same, I can't help but think they're a bit brainwashed. I don't care if god actually exists or not, and I don't care if you're good or bad. What I'm asking is why do you choose to believe in such things, when a simple honest look around you would indicate they don't exist. And if it's the love, respect, happiness and care you mention, you can have that without god, and they'd be even more genuine.
I thought this was going to go way over the head of the average worshipper, but then the second half happened and made it more obvious.
I believe in a God but I am not going to desperately try to meet the requirements of the bible, if he can't accept someone who doesn't do wrong and believes in him then oh well.

I enjoy watching your videos. As a Christian, I do believe these things, but seeing the outside perspective gives me reason to believe and understand why people don’t believe what I do. It’s ludicrous and I know it, and some points your videos have made show direct contradictions to what I’ve heard in my church (The Greater Insult in particular), and that helps me to logically inspect my religion.
While I wouldn’t consider myself atheist, as I do believe that God is real out there, there’s no physical evidence to support the claim besides the existence of the universe. It’s all based on faith. Both theists and atheists believe in something, and how they view the world doesn’t have to be wrong. I agree with you on your terms of organized religion, though. It’s become corporate and it’s always been about control, even in classical times. I keep my beliefs to myself usually nowadays because of the rifts I see.
I most likely won’t ever leave the theist realm unless it is definitively proven a God could not exist by any terms. That said, your videos give me a lot to think about, and not many other channels can say the same.
Analogies are one the best ways to look at your beliefs from an outside point of view, thats why I love darkmatter so much. Like this one "I most likely will never stop believing the flying spaghetti monster exists unless it is definitely proven that the flying spaghetti monster could not exist by any terms." Sorry I'm not saying that to be mean but just to give you another way of looking at it. Also you seem like a cool dude and I wish more theists were like you
@Aleara that is all maybe's, and one of those maybe is that a god exists, now what strikes me as odd is the fact that most religions mentions a god that created us and not a flying spaghetti monster or a simpler life form, or natural processes. You might say well its the easiest thing to come up with, "an all mighty being created us" but the only reason you assume its so easy to come up with is because of the fact it existed for thousands of years. Its 3 a.m I'm drunk and i don't know what the hell I'm saying but maybe logical thinking is not what will prove a god exists or not, after all as science continues to advance the world keeps getting weirder and weirder and its not really logical anymore whatever "logical" means (quantum physics for instance) Personally i find it fascinating how some religions can not be "debunked" (true they always interpret it different ways) but if a book can always be interpreted to not have any faults that's some hell of a book . Also, food for thought.

I'd say I'm right in the middle of Christian (or what feels like Christianity) and Agnosticism just because at the end of the day, nobody knows for certain what happens after we die -- *if* anything happens. Even though Atheists make more sense, no one knows for sure. And as a Christian, I'm willing to remain open-minded to that.
:) Thank you.
i would do that too but i cannot. i am not going to live my entire life in fear like that... i am not God fearing .... i am not going to live in fear of what might or might not happen to me after i die. i will not be a slave to an idea that consists of an all powerful supernatural being that has never been seen or proven. It is the Christian leaders themselves that help keep me an atheist. They make it simple when they call out science and they call scientists liars and dispute 100% science fact in favor of their religion. that's a big red flag to me. There is alot of science that contradicts religion
Lol I'm okay with religion, but people keep saying stuff like "god is 'tri omni' (everywhere at once, knows everything, is the kindest being in the universe" but then they're entire religion is built up with the idea of FOREVER worshipping god, and FOREVER fearing god. Like would a tri-omni god want to send people to hell, or would if he's everywhere then why does he need messengers, like I get religions are beliefs but you can't say he's benevolent and then live like you got a gun to your head, hoping to meet some criteria to not be tortured for eternity
2 years later.... Do you still belive?
perfect example of the ridiculousness of religion
@Imperiatoris you guys do that on your own
@Imperiatoris the bible would say that, wouldnt it now?
My greatest admiration for your work and especially this video. It's really enlightend and so compelling. And of course: "It really sums it up".
I like these animations. They look great and the voice work with the sync of the animation is perfect. I enjoy the points and the way they're conveyed. Awesome job.
Tragically accurate ending.
These videos are epic! I think I spent the whole day watching them all! You are very talented!
1k people below the three digit iq line disliked this video.
*two ;)
I don't expect Mensa to introduce cartoons as tests for intelligence anytime soon.
christians probably disliked it and you arr basicly saying they are very dumb... and we athiest are trying to show that we arent bad people. people like you make us look bad. your comment doesnt make your IQ convincingly have 3 digits. contradicting...
Joris van Dijk Lol what you just said was hypocritical because your grammar was off.
MEGA LOW MANIAC LOL. What you said is hypocritical, because your grammar was off.*
haha why do you get so much hate you're awesome
+Yekkt the truth is true
+Yekkt amen! oh wait...
Because people can't accept reality, sadly.
+Oliver Henshaw
Hes an atheist,of course he'll get hate for showing his opinion.
You know its really ironic how religius people talk shit about respecting opinions but when atheists show THEIR opinion it sudently doesnt matter.
Butthurt theists
I "like" how you put the last part in to show how the analogy works.
Watching Darkmatters' videos is like coffee for my brain. So potent!
Bro, just discovered your channel today and have watched almost 20 episodes to just this day. I recorded your videos using my phone recorder and sharing them on my WhatsApp status. Keep up the good job
Whether you agree with her politics or not Ayn Rand had the right idea about heaven:
“The restriction they seek to escape is the law of identity. The freedom they seek is freedom from the fact that an A will remain an A, no matter what their tears or tantrums-that a river will not bring them milk, no matter what their hunger-that water will not run uphill, no matter what comforts they could gain if it did, and if they want to lift it to the roof of a skyscraper, they must do it by a process of thought and labor, in which the nature of an inch of pipe line counts, but their feelings do not-that their feelings are impotent to alter the course of a single speck of dust in space or the nature of any action they have committed.
Heaven is where every wish is reality, and it sounds horrible.
I'm an anarchist and not particularly a fan of Rand, but I do so wish more people would approach government in the same way that they should religion; by attempting to argue for it against a null hypothesis.
+CapnHolic It has to be hilarious in hindsight, seeing that libertarians do want to achieve absolute freedom to create a heaven... for their own selfishness.
Akos Barati Only if you don't even try to see it from any perspective but your own.
+farmerboy916
Not sure about all libertarians, but Ayn Rand's whole philosophy was based on selfishness. She wrote a book about it.
John Oliver did a great 'How is this still a thing?' on her.
some person I'm not a huge fan of a lot of her ideas, but it does go deeper than just be selfish, and is semi thought provoking.
That said a lot of what she wrote is not applicable to the world we live in. Works just fine in the worlds of her books, but not reality. Also the politicians that love her would be generally despised by her. In Atlas Shrugged there is nothing but disdain show for "the men in washington" AKA lobbyists.
I like this video because I can share it on my Facebook page. And it does not explicitly use the word atheist. Therefore I can get my Christian friends to look at it. It is very clear, that we should use our brains when people make grand claims Like religions 10 to do. I am also glad that it does not specifically mention any one religion. Good job.
so good.
motion picture is actually a great way of presenting complex, commonly held dialogues into a one-way monologue, provided the flow is sufficiently common and reasonable, and we do'n't strawman.
Well done.
That real estate guy sounds EXACTLY like those scammers who contact you by Email and try to convince you to pay an advance fee.
Have we not seen this video before? Or was it slightly different with a car dealer or something? Definitely seen something exactly like it though.
Believe so, maybe he wanted to refresh the argument so it may circulate easier
+SoWeMeetAgain That's just what I was thinking. It's a good video but the first half seems to be a rehash of "God Is A Car"
+SoWeMeetAgain Showing off the better animation with an old topic that is still relevant ^.^
Yep. Still content with this video though
+SoWeMeetAgain This one is drawing a more clear parallel.
In response to Matt Parks, who has disabled responses:
"...but could you show some respect to other people's beliefs. Thanks."
Why should I respect the nonsensical? Why should I tolerate the harmful?
This has become relevant right now when me and my mom are trying to buy a house. They said they didn't want us to have our inspector do an inspection. They said he can inspect after we've signed the dotted line and take the key to house.
This is a very good idea makes people self aware of what kind of choices they should make and ponder upon how will those choices effect their future life
When the cost is something immediately recognizable, measurable, and of tangible worth, its easy to see these things. When they are nebulous..well...
This is so brilliant it's scary
You my friend are awesome... Logic is like something that people don't seem to use much these days... Even my own family.... Find it hard to imagine what bad things they did to get a child with so many questions as me... Poor chaps... Far from reality.. haha
I feel the same
This is so incredibly perfect.
i swear to god this channel is the best
Ahhhhhhh I see, the incoherent purpose of Religion. Good to see you again DarkMatter2525.
well damn it did have a gaqudi...jaquzi. ..jaqizzi...a hot tub, sign me up! lol!
+TheQuietAtheist what?? speak up your to quiet
I love your videos fam. gets straight to the point I like that.
I fricken love this channel
I've told this guy selling an eternal happiness that I like being reincarnated as a trickster in each life. being trapped in internally happiness sounds like it will mess with my trickster reincarnation streak....
...the holy book is right because it says that...
Wow. These video presentations really open my mind and gives me a kinda good perspective of looking at the idea of God.
I'm going to use this argument every time I can! =)
Brilliant!
That is the best analogy I've ever heard. Lol
If everyone used 10% of the skepticism that we employ when we buy a car, we wouldn't buy being buying religion.
I like to keep coming back to the older videos to see if I understand them more, or in case I missed something a few years ago.
I really appreciate your videos.
didn't he do an episode like this about a car exactly like this one??
Yeah very similar.
As a devout catholic i really appreciate your videos they pose important questions and oppositions to things i believe in.They honestly help me and others want to learn more about their faith.its honestly really useful if people weren't so easily offended.Helps people think in a different light.
I can't even imagine what it's like to live for eternity
it's just impossible to reach this standard for a conclusion...
i once heard a quote that goes
if i'm wrong about my faith then i've wasted my life, but if you're wrong then you've wasted you're eternity🤔
What if god doesn't mind when people don't Belive in him, cause of missing evidences, but if he is offended by people who Belive that he is the evil, double standarded idiot described in the Bible?
If u had added "at least can i talk to the owner?.....
..
This a good example of conformity. If it was only a small minority of people who believed in god, no one would accept any such absurd notion. But, when the vast majority of people believe in god, others begin to consider it as a possibility. After all, there must be some reason so many people believe this. A majority this large couldn't possibly be wrong.
Just like government; try to honestly argue it against a null hypothesis.
I'm not interested in conspiracy theories.
+Jeremy Ray
The Third German Reich had many many people in it. A majority that large couldn't have been wrong about the Jews, Slavics and Blacks, could they?
+Vlad Tepes (Drăculea)
They also disregarded Britains law because they didn't want to respect Natives enough to let them live in their land in peace.
Literally all of this guys videos are incredible
Superb video that hits the nail right on the head.
that was short and sweet...
Christians disliked cuz this the truth
When you put it like that. It sounds amazing.
That’s right don’t accept an afterlife without a tour and a third party inspection.
So lemme get this straight....
I think one of your best bets of trying heaven out would be hallucinogens like Ayahuasca (DMT), Salvia Divinorum (Salvinorin A), Iboga (Ibogaïne), mushrooms (pslocybin) or peyote cacti (mescaline)
Meditation might work as well
Thank you, someone get it
absouletly
@0:25 I think I caught a "Meet the Parents" reference with Ben Stiller at the airport near the end of the movie.
Great this is a masterpiece my friend.
not sure why the second half was needed, I feel like the house analogy got the message across just fine. still, good cartoon nonetheless :)
The first part exposes the rank foolishness of what Christians are selling. The second part exposes the rank hypocrisy of how Christians buy into the kind of rank foolishness which they would never accept in any other circumstance. Maybe upload your own cartoons if you better know how it's done.
Yeah, and that sums it up.
I was like what tha f**k is this guy saying.
Great video, very realistic. Like somebody said, this scam has been for thousands of years and I don’t see the end of it for a long long time.
"Sign me up"
I kinda felt disappointed at the end. 😅
