I find that funny because Christians claim it isn't about his disciples and referred a future generation. No, it was about his disciples and it shows Jesus lied.😂😂
Exactly.. and there was NO ONE as biblically illiterate than Jesus. In his tirades against the leaders who were calling him out for his CRUELTY to his disciples, Jesus goes off and tries to use the bible to justify his insanity, but when you look at his "proof", he failed miserably! He couldn't even get the stories right. And he couldn't read Isaiah correctly.

We're not even remotely close to better than Russia or China. You might be able to make an argument that we're better than England, but even that probably wouldn't hold up.
@@ertymexx I disagree... while there are PLENTY of bad folk in the US, there are also plenty that do what they can to keep it out of the Theocracy, Nationalistic, and Fascist sections of the Bad Government Bible. Russia and China, both, have the worst people *actually* in charge. This next election will spell out whether or not that would still be the case, though.
Actually, the Bible contradicts itself re:big fish vs. whale. It uses both, which just goes to show that the authors didn't understand the difference between fish and whales.
@@KeltoiMagus That's very possible, although I'd expect the language of God's supposed people to be able to communicate that bats are not birds and whales are not fish. I take no issue with these mistakes if one isn’t arguing in favor of biblical literalism, though.
I made the mistake of seeing what other videos Big Nik posts about and saw he has like 60k followers, and now I kinda wish this eclipse was bringing on the end times.
There are Solar eclipses happening approximately 2 to 5 times a year with total eclipses occurring about every 18 months. I wonder what all of those past eclipses were a portent of? 🤣
For the last eclipse I went out to Missouri for a larger eclipse percentage. We went to some small town for the actual event and parked in the downtown area. After viewing the eclipse, we returned to our car, where some christian doomsday cultists had put a pamphket under the wipers describing how the eclipse was the sign of the end times and a demand for us to repent... going to Texas for the upcoming eclipse, so we'll see how that goes
7:43 actually they were referring to stuff that happened 10-20 years earlier (the Roman conquest of Jerusalem circa 70CE), and pretending that they were writing beforehand.
They will say that this was only a warning, but god was merciful and did no harm. Same god that otherwise murders (or has others do it for him) entire populations on a whim.
Tell her since she believes that, then she should give you all her belongings, car, and money since she won't be needing it anymore so you can hear her excuse as to why she refuses to do that.
I remember the total eclipse that went thru Florida in the 1960s. Never did I think the world was going to end.that would happen in 2000, or so I thought. With all the nukes and prophecies, I didn't think I'd exceed the age of 40.
One eclipse‽ In 2014/15, we had "Four Blood Moons" heralding _our_ End. Kids today don't know how to Apocalypse, anymore. (It's those dxmn smartphones, I tells ya...)
Today, anyone with a smart phone can provide more detail about eclipses during biblical times than could anyone living in biblical times. ALL HAIL GOD APPLE!
I guess it's part of their "great American freedom" , the freedom to be stupid, the freedom to be annoying, the freedom to dictate onto others what to do and what to think, the freedom to deny the freedom of others.

@@CalliNightmare lol thanks it's wild now, that I'm not religious, when I see people saying things like this. It's like when someone tries to disparage atheism by calling it a religion, bro aren't you part of a religion?
That Bible quote. He referenced only says we should use the Sun and moon and Stars to be able to tell seasons and days and years. The problem with these guys theories Is that much of the world will not even see this eclipse.
The pilgrims lived in Leiden, the Netherlands for years, before going to America. Not all went there, some stayed. The ones that went to America were afraid to be influenced by loose morals of the people in the Netherlands. So yes, they were pretty extreme. Btw the 3 October festival in Leiden is probably the source of thanksgiving in the USA.
Eclipses have been happening since the dawn of time. The only reason why people make these superstitious beliefs because to a person who has never seen one. The idea of day all of a sudden turn to night by the moon blocking out sun is SCARY.
According to their own religion nobody will know the hour. According to their own religion if you are a believer and have accepted Jesus you will be fine. Why are they worried about the end of times at all? Aren't they supposed to be raptured before stuff gets real bad? People stick their noses into other people's business too much. Trying to use scare tactics to recruit. Shameful.
Eclipses aren’t so rare that they should inspire eschatological thinking. Eclipses occur, on average, every 18 months somewhere on Earth. The reason this one is special is because it will be another 375 years before it occurs again in the exact same place as in April 8, 2024.
Well, this as Nik puts it "Once in a Lifetime Event" sure is happening a lot.. seeing as the Next 8 TSE are Apr 8, 2024 /Aug 12, 2026/Aug 2, 2027/Jul 22, 2028/Nov 25, 2030/Nov 14, 2031/Mar 30, 2033 and Mar 20, 2034. And that was 15 seconds of searching Google, i think Nik's Research involved a Bag of Cheetos and "How can i Drum up Views for my Video from Gullible people?"
America didn't exsist in biblical times. They never even knew about the land mass that would later become America. Furthermore, which America? South, central, or north. Did it mention the United stares. Well, states weren't even a concept back then.
I looked up Ninevah Texas on Google Maps. It's either a house, road junction, cemetery or farm. The point being that it's a small structure in the middle of nowhere.
15:12 ROFLMFAO There wasn't much after all the decades of interventionism... But after the oompah loompah? This is how you know big nic hasn't ever set foot outside his country
There are solar eclipses every 18 or so months. They aren't "signs". They're just coincidences based on how the moon and sun orbit each other. They're also really really nifty and I'm looking forward to seeing this next one! :D
Don’t be guilty of a No true Scotsman fallacy. Everyone begins life as an atheist, i.e. someone unconvinced there are gods/god. Unless you mean positive atheism, someone who believes there is no god. In which case, it’s still possible to be convinced for bad reasons.
@@NA-vz9ko once you are truly convinced , that you have reasonably and rationally thought your way through it and you have adapted your life accordingly and given your own meaning to life without a belief in a god then it would extremely odd to go back to pretend believing in something you had no longer believed in . It wouldn’t be genuine . Especially, if you’ve been doing so for a long time. Aa for me personally , I believe in the “concept of God” (and if that’s supposed to believe in anything at all about the concept of God, it’d be an impersonal version , like the deist interpretation, not some ridiculous personal god like the man made biblical god , yaweh. Response : anything is possible, that I grant you . I can at the very least speak for myself and tell you I could never believe in the biblical god. If God (in this case the biblical version of the concept of God ) is all knowing and all powerful as commonly claimed, then he’d know exactly how to convince me of his existence. I remain unconvinced. As for an “atheist” changing his/her mind and believing in the Christian version of “God”, I would still find it suspect how someone who did not believe and after living a life as a true skeptic and critical thinker , could go from not believing right into fully believing with no more doubt whatsoever. Perhaps these types of people who claim they are “atheist” are just really agnostic . Or someone who grew up in an atheist family from birth but at some point found that atheism was an empty concept to them despite their atheist secular up-bringing. And it’d be interesting to talk to these types of people to find out exactly what is was that changed their mind. Maybe a bad car accident in which they beat the odds given the severity of the accident ? A sole survivor of a plane crash ? Their grandmother beating the odds of terminal cancer ? 🤷🏼♂️ To me at least , I’d attribute my survival , in any of these circumstances , to physics and dynamics of cause and effect . Not some deity that made sure I survived . I’d be way more apt to believe that the cause and effect of the interplay of physics worked out in such a way , for example , that the metal of the car wreckage didn’t bend or break in such a way that it’d have crushed my body beyond repair, causing my death. It would be just the natural way the physics of the wreck played out and it so happened that my life was spared. No belief in a god needed. I can not see someone like Richard Dawkins , Sam Harris, the late Christopher hitchens, Douglas Murray , Ricky Gervey, bill maher, and like minded people could ever go from disbelief back into belief
@@bitofwizdomb7266 it’s odd, but not impossible, and you cannot assert that it isn’t genuine belief. Plenty of people become convinced of things they were not previously convinced of. I fear that you’re underestimating the genuine conviction of converted people. They’re wrong for sure, deluded even, but most aren’t “pretending to believe” as you claimed.

Imagine if Bible study was curriculum in schools these days. America was NEVER founded on religion, it allowed religions to intermingle without oppression of another and without religious law JFC .. we learned this in 4th grade

I'm looking for this, the eclipse is passing directly over me. The last time i only saw a partial eclipse. The sky didn't even get a little darker and i had to use my welding helmet to see it. This time it should be really kool as we'll get the full eclipse. I just hope its not cloudy that day.
I think a lot of America "preachers" are demanding that of God nowadays. Just to make America the most important country ofthe world, to make American Christians the most important people on the planet, just to rule over this people and scam them out of their income....
Imagine making a video wherein you declare that you speak 'tongues' (glossolalia) as a second language - and that being the least crazy thing you said in the video.
Actually, at least in French, tongue is the same word as language so it's most probably a wrong word use, not to say everything else he said is sensical. :)
@@pistoluity That's a very good possibility but I suspect he's talking about 'speaking tongues' in the evangelical sense, which is basically gibberish inspired by the holy spirit.
Perversion is a contrast to something, in his case, the aversion to the way that religious people were expected to behave. Behavior is subjective to assume that it is objective, describes the absence of free will.
The eclipse will be going through FOUR Springfields, an Ogdenville and a Shelbyville! That tells me that God wants us to watch the Simpsons!

For the last eclipse I went out to Missouri for a larger eclipse percentage. We went to some small town for the actual event and parked in the downtown area. After viewing the eclipse, we returned to our car, where some christian doomsday cultists had put a pamphket under the wipers describing how the eclipse was the sign of the end times and a demand for us to repent... going to Texas for the upcoming eclipse, so we'll see how that goes

The problem is that Americans (and I am an American) have a national sense of main character syndrome.
I'd be scared too if I still believed in gods and demons and magic.
That Bible quote. He referenced only says we should use the Sun and moon and Stars to be able to tell seasons and days and years. The problem with these guys theories Is that much of the world will not even see this eclipse.
The pilgrims lived in Leiden, the Netherlands for years, before going to America. Not all went there, some stayed. The ones that went to America were afraid to be influenced by loose morals of the people in the Netherlands. So yes, they were pretty extreme.
Btw the 3 October festival in Leiden is probably the source of thanksgiving in the USA.
Greetings from.. there ;)
Eclipses have been happening since the dawn of time. The only reason why people make these superstitious beliefs because to a person who has never seen one. The idea of day all of a sudden turn to night by the moon blocking out sun is SCARY.
According to their own religion nobody will know the hour. According to their own religion if you are a believer and have accepted Jesus you will be fine. Why are they worried about the end of times at all? Aren't they supposed to be raptured before stuff gets real bad? People stick their noses into other people's business too much. Trying to use scare tactics to recruit. Shameful.
My step father always used to say humans are the only animal that scare itself on purpose
Hey London Storm - I'm an older atheist. I love your show and think you are wicked cool (that's a Boston expression).
Eclipses aren’t so rare that they should inspire eschatological thinking. Eclipses occur, on average, every 18 months somewhere on Earth. The reason this one is special is because it will be another 375 years before it occurs again in the exact same place as in April 8, 2024.
375 years? You mean days?
Wait, I read that wrong
Well, this as Nik puts it "Once in a Lifetime Event" sure is happening a lot.. seeing as the Next 8 TSE are Apr 8, 2024 /Aug 12, 2026/Aug 2, 2027/Jul 22, 2028/Nov 25, 2030/Nov 14, 2031/Mar 30, 2033 and Mar 20, 2034.

America didn't exsist in biblical times. They never even knew about the land mass that would later become America. Furthermore, which America? South, central, or north. Did it mention the United stares. Well, states weren't even a concept back then.
I looked up Ninevah Texas on Google Maps. It's either a house, road junction, cemetery or farm. The point being that it's a small structure in the middle of nowhere.

There are solar eclipses every 18 or so months. They aren't "signs". They're just coincidences based on how the moon and sun orbit each other.
They're also really really nifty and I'm looking forward to seeing this next one! :D
People who convert back to religion were never true atheist in the first place.
Don’t be guilty of a No true Scotsman fallacy.
Everyone begins life as an atheist, i.e. someone unconvinced there are gods/god.
Unless you mean positive atheism, someone who believes there is no god. In which case, it’s still possible to be convinced for bad reasons.
@@NA-vz9ko once you are truly convinced , that you have reasonably and rationally thought your way through it and you have adapted your life accordingly and given your own meaning to life without a belief in a god then it would extremely odd to go back to pretend believing in something you had no longer believed in . It wouldn’t be genuine . Especially, if you’ve been doing so for a long time.
Aa for me personally , I believe in the “concept of God” (and if that’s supposed to believe in anything at all about the concept of God, it’d be an impersonal version , like the deist interpretation, not some ridiculous personal god like the man made biblical god , yaweh.
Response :
anything is possible, that I grant you . I can at the very least speak for myself and tell you I could never believe in the biblical god. If God (in this case the biblical version of the concept of God ) is all knowing and all powerful as commonly claimed, then he’d know exactly how to convince me of his existence. I remain unconvinced.
As for an “atheist” changing his/her mind and believing in the Christian version of “God”, I would still find it suspect how someone who did not believe and after living a life as a true skeptic and critical thinker , could go from not believing right into fully believing with no more doubt whatsoever. Perhaps these types of people who claim they are “atheist” are just really agnostic . Or someone who grew up in an atheist family from birth but at some point found that atheism was an empty concept to them despite their atheist secular up-bringing. And it’d be interesting to talk to these types of people to find out exactly what is was that changed their mind. Maybe a bad car accident in which they beat the odds given the severity of the accident ? A sole survivor of a plane crash ? Their grandmother beating the odds of terminal cancer ? 🤷🏼♂️ To me at least , I’d attribute my survival , in any of these circumstances , to physics and dynamics of cause and effect . Not some deity that made sure I survived . I’d be way more apt to believe that the cause and effect of the interplay of physics worked out in such a way , for example , that the metal of the car wreckage didn’t bend or break in such a way that it’d have crushed my body beyond repair, causing my death. It would be just the natural way the physics of the wreck played out and it so happened that my life was spared. No belief in a god needed.
I can not see someone like Richard Dawkins , Sam Harris, the late Christopher hitchens, Douglas Murray , Ricky Gervey, bill maher, and like minded people could ever go from disbelief back into belief
@@bitofwizdomb7266 it’s odd, but not impossible, and you cannot assert that it isn’t genuine belief. Plenty of people become convinced of things they were not previously convinced of. I fear that you’re underestimating the genuine conviction of converted people. They’re wrong for sure, deluded even, but most aren’t “pretending to believe” as you claimed.
