There is some rule or excuse in religions that says these gods and sons of gods don't appear to us because then we wouldn't need faith to believe, and they want us to believe based on faith not evidence or that would ruin the cat and mouse game of hide and seek that gods love so much.

Good point. Saying "group hallucination is physically impossible" as a premise in an argument that concludes with "therefore the bodily resurrection of Jesus must be a historical reality" is a real head scratcher.
@@timothykeith1367 No, I find it strange that people will use the "impossibility" of group hallucination as evidence in favor of the resurrection of Jesus which is every bit as "impossible" ... using the impossibility of one thing as evidence for occurance of a different impossible thing is baffling. I can't read minds because reading minds is impossible therefore I must have the power of unaided flight which is also impossible. See how that doesn't work.

@@_Somsnosa_ I was lucky, when I was a questioning teenager I was asking my pastor questions in Sunday school, and he introduced me to the idea, which he subscribed to, that heaven is being one with god, and hell is being eternally separated.

It's much harder to question when you are forced to fear. Before that point I was essentially doing Pascal's wager without knowing what it was called.

A few months ago I got into a bit of a debate with my dad, who is a believing Christian. But I was telling him about how historians don't actually know who wrote the Bible, that the names in the Bible, like Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, were just anonymous names. And my dad just looked at me like I was crazy. He told me I was being ridiculous, and what I was saying was completely false. I just looked at him and shook my head. I told him to look it up sometime. I doubt he ever did. It may be better to embrace the hard truth, than a reassuring fable, as Carl Sagan suggest. Unfortunately, it's not what the majority of people on this planet do.
Your dad doesn't want to look into the historical truth, he just wants to be right. I experienced the same thing. He'd have to lay awake at night staring at the ceiling if he doubted himself and accepted your statement.
@@Spiritof_76 Yeah, i agree with you on that. The funny thing is, when it comes to my dad, I don't really want to change his beliefs. My dad is getting up there in years, he's had multiple heart attacks and his health is less than ideal. He's likely not going to be around for much longer. I know his faith brings him a level of comfort. And I realize this is totally due to selfish reasons on my part, being that he's my dad, but I don't really want to take that from him. It's really weird, because it goes against what I believe is right for any other scenario. I think dealing in reality is the best way. So, there's this strange conflict I have when it comes to my dad and what he believes. Now if the topic of religion does come up, I don't typically pull any punches. I will tell him what I believe. So its because of that, that I don't usually bring up religion in our conversations.

It is a process. I've had a little success by asking believers, "is there even one thing that your faith teaches that you're skeptical about"? Some won't admit it, but most can think of one. Then we discuss that, and they find themselves in a place that's open to questioning, that they themselves came up with. This way they don't feel attacked, just a little doubtful. Then it's up to them to pursue that on their own, or choose to remain willfully faithful and just ignore their doubt.
@@odinson6348, it's a good way to do it.

They become very silent afterwards, and in their faces I can see that something small has moved. Because I've just presented something, that they have forgotten to think about in all their focus on guilt. Again, not today, but maybe with time.

I'm left thinking "Uh, no, there were NOT 500 witnesses. There was just one person saying that there were 500 witnesses." If I talk to her again about this with her saying once again that there were 500 witnesses, I'm going to say this to her: "Jim Bob in Arkansas wrote a book saying that he was abducted by aliens in a flying saucer. He said that over a hundred people saw it happen. Do you believe him? By your "logic", there were over a hundred witnesses, so how can you not believe it?"

As for eyewitnesses, there were no confirmed eyewitnesses to the resurrection as all we have is a writing from an anonymous person saying there were witnesses. Also, nothing was written about the resurrection until many years after it supposedly occurred.
I've to say, even though he went in as anonymous, I liked his tone of voice, he seemed to listen and he generelly presented himself nice. Still it's wild to see how hard it is for believers to just meet a burden of proof there, they look and care for in every other aspect of their live.

Absolutely genius. I love it whenever Matt completely pulverizes these Christian callers to the point they have to grasp at straws just to keep themselves convinced.
The thing is though, Matt actually doesn't pulverize any Christian caller - those of the atheist persuasion THINK he does, but it's just based on the fact that Matt has an amazing ability with words combined with hard atheistic presuppositions so anyone who already shares his ridiculous stance has no idea how far from the mark he is.
@Lordidude Why would I call the show? Its set up so that any christian ot theist caller will APPEAR to be crushed by the oh so logical and reasonable Mr Sillyhunty. Haven't you realised that yet?
As courteous as he tried to be, it is clear he doesn't know how to argue, nor how arguments work. His point at the end was basically "Well, you probably accept other historical claims without the same level of scrutiny". Which could have been a fair point... If Matt had brought up any other historical accounts, or if the caller had asked Matt first. On top of that, since he went straight to projecting onto Matt an epistemology that Matt hadn't used on this episode as a way to accuse him of commiting a fallacy, he didn't have the chance to think about how Matt (or nay other person) not scrutinizing a historical claim of an event that's physically and humanly possible, is not the same not scrutinizing a claim that requires supernatural intervention.
This something I've noticed for a while. Accepting that which is scientifically possible is a different universe from being prepared to accept mere writings which claim that which is scientifically impossible, given our current level of knowledge.
@@duncanbryson1167 Exactly. If an obscure book somewhere said: "Richard Bumscratcher, son of Thomas, tripped and fell crossing the road then got run over by a goat", it wouldn't be reasonable to take it as completely factual, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to go "It's probably just a story, but it might have happened" the just go on with your day. It'd be inconsequential, on top of being mundane. Whereas claims made by religious texts, the gospels in this case, not only involve supernatural occurrences, but also carry the implication that said "fact" needs to be the most important thing in your life moving forward. It is not unreasonable for that claim to require further scrutiny.
The early Christians weren't martyred simply because they believed in Christianity. It was perfectly okay to worship any god, cult, or religion you wanted to in the Roman Empire. They were persecuted because they were a royal pain in the ass threatening to send their god to destroy the Empire while refusing to pay their taxes and contribute to Roman society. That and Nero blamed them for burning Rome down that one time.
@leoyohansen6811They also lived in a time when life was so miserable for many people that the idea they could escape to paradise by dying as martyrs felt like a better option than anything else. Almost every ancient superstition believed in some sort of an afterlife, but Christians back then believed that martyrdom earned them extra points, just as some Muslims do today. While many Christians still believe that persecution earns them extra points, they have to settle for losing elections and being called idiots instead of dying in the arena.
@leoyohansen6811Obviously, the overwhelming majority didn't believe in heaven enough or was desperate enough to martyr themselves to get there. Same as Muslims today. I can't predict what would have happened if that version of an Abrahamic superstition died out before Rome had time to curse the future of humanity even more than it already had. However, I have little doubt that there wouldn't be any end-time superstitions threatening the survival of our species as much as that one does today.

@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 The concept of sin is made up by humans. Orangutans can have IQs over 75 (I guarantee you've probably met some humans within the last week with comparable scores). They also show empathy. Do you think they are worried about sin? Either humans are inherently filthy, worthless sinners from birth, or we are God's favorite creation and made in his image. It can't be both 🙄.
@@jeffbeck8993 Chill Jeff I’m for you not against you. Jesus is not some bad Person to Believe nor is He made up (look at all the attention He gets). He is not a hypocrite either. He practiced what He preached. He is Loving but also Just; So, He will punish sinners like any just judge would. But followers of Jesus are exempt because the precious Blood of Jesus atones for their sins.
God is the epitome of Holiness because He is sinlessly perfect, A sinner (liar, sexually immoral, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, thief etc) cannot be in the presence of God or else he will be utterly consumed therefore repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to go to Heaven.

People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.

Not only that. In his mind, since group hallucination is impossible as far as he knows, then actual resurrection (something that we don't have any evidence for outside of religious texts) is not only possible, but a likely explanation.
That was one of Matt's best arguments I've ever heard him make - and he makes a lot of really really good ones: that if martyrdom was a compelling reason to believe something then Jan 6th lends credence to Trump's claim, which it patently does not. Even "Anonymous" had to concede that point.

The most dishonest part of so many of these arguments is that the type of "evidence" they offer as proof for their own beliefs is wholeheartedly rejected when offered by others as proof of their belief.
Mere words, whether written or spoken, will NEVER convince me of any deities. If any exist they can attempt to prove their existence, tome, to MY satisfaction.
The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven). If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins.

There's a very big issue with his argument at the very beginning because, even if we grant that the event happened, he's using the fact that one thing is impossible as far as we know to argue that another thing that's impossible as far as we know therefore has to be possible. That is: Multiple people saw Jesus, who had died; group hallucinations are impossible as far as we know; conclusion: he must've risen from the dead. The problem is this can also be done the other way around: Multiple people saw Jesus, who had died; resurrection is impossible as far as we know; conclusion: they must've had a collective hallucination. In simple terms, if an event having happened depends on one of two currently considered impossible things to have happened, then either A) the event didn't happen in the first place, or B) one of the two things is actually possible and we didn't know. The problem is, even if we ignore the fact that A is far more likely, we cannot know which of the two things is the correct one for case B.

I believe there is two different accounts for what happened at the tomb. One says the women found the open tomb and ran away and told no one. The other is they saw the open tomb and went and told someone. Also, if they told no one, how does anyone know that version of the story anyways?
Nah, it was five, since later scribes didn't like Marks ending (the first gospel that the others plagurized and changed) so they changed it by adding another page of text...
I am just stuck on “group hallucinations can’t happen” leading to the conclusion of “resurrection.” Surely whatever criteria one might use to make the “can’t happen” statement applies to resurrections as well, but even moreso?
Exactly. Even assuming that it's true that it cant happen, who's to say they arent lying about it and only one possibly had the hallucinations. Or who's to say it isnt say loki, since he is a trickster god after all.

I always find it strange when someone believes a human body can remain dead for days and suddenly recover, despite the damage on cellular level, including in the brain. But draw a line on group hallucination. Especially if they believe in the supernatural.
Good point. Saying "group hallucination is physically impossible" as a premise in an argument that concludes with "therefore the bodily resurrection of Jesus must be a historical reality" is a real head scratcher.
@@timothykeith1367 No, I find it strange that people will use the "impossibility" of group hallucination as evidence in favor of the resurrection of Jesus which is every bit as "impossible" ... using the impossibility of one thing as evidence for occurance of a different impossible thing is baffling.
I can't read minds because reading minds is impossible therefore I must have the power of unaided flight which is also impossible. See how that doesn't work. Granted the gospels fill in a more detailed narrative structure around their impossibilities... but its still ridiculous to argue in this way.

They still have that fear, they can't even hypothetically admit that they are wrong because of the fear of god and hell. Even though, surely god knows what you are thinking and sees that you are questioning your beliefs even if you don't say it out loud?
@@_Somsnosa_ I was lucky, when I was a questioning teenager I was asking my pastor questions in Sunday school, and he introduced me to the idea, which he subscribed to, that heaven is being one with god, and hell is being eternally separated. After realizing that even the clergy didn't agree on what eternity looked like, and having had the fear of burning in literal fire removed, it was much easier to continue to deconstruct from there. It's much harder to question when you are forced to fear. Before that point I was essentially doing Pascal's wager without knowing what it was called.

A few months ago I got into a bit of a debate with my dad, who is a believing Christian. But I was telling him about how historians don't actually know who wrote the Bible, that the names in the Bible, like Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, were just anonymous names. And my dad just looked at me like I was crazy. He told me I was being ridiculous, and what I was saying was completely false. I just looked at him and shook my head. I told him to look it up sometime. I doubt he ever did. It may be better to embrace the hard truth, than a reassuring fable, as Carl Sagan suggest. Unfortunately, it's not what the majority of people on this planet do.

@@Spiritof_76 Yeah, i agree with you on that. The funny thing is, when it comes to my dad, I don't really want to change his beliefs.

I know his faith brings him a level of comfort. And I realize this is totally due to selfish reasons on my part, being that he's my dad, but I don't really want to take that from him. It's really weird, because it goes against what I believe is right for any other scenario. I think dealing in reality is the best way. So, there's this strange conflict I have when it comes to my dad and what he believes. Now if the topic of religion does come up, I don't typically pull any punches. I will tell him what I believe.

It is a process. I've had a little success by asking believers, "is there even one thing that your faith teaches that you're skeptical about"? Some won't admit it, but most can think of one. Then we discuss that, and they find themselves in a place that's open to questioning, that they themselves came up with. This way they don't feel attacked, just a little doubtful. Then it's up to them to pursue that on their own, or choose to remain willfully faithful and just ignore their doubt.
@@odinson6348, it's a good way to do it.

They become very silent afterwards, and in their faces I can see that something small has moved. Because I've just presented something, that they have forgotten to think about in all their focus on guilt.
Again, not today, but maybe with time.
I think the other problem is that many believers do not know the bible very well as this gentleman just demonstrated. The good thing about these debates though is that at least some of them are then forced to study the bible for themselves and come to the logical conclusion that it is obviously a work of fiction.

On top of that, since he went straight to projecting onto Matt an epistemology that Matt hadn't used on this episode as a way to accuse him of commiting a fallacy, he didn't have the chance to think about how Matt (or nay other person) not scrutinizing a historical claim of an event that's physically and humanly possible, is not the same not scrutinizing a claim that requires supernatural intervention.
This something I've noticed for a while. Accepting that which is scientifically possible is a different universe from being prepared to accept mere writings which claim that which is scientifically impossible, given our current level of knowledge.
@@duncanbryson1167 Exactly.
If an obscure book somewhere said:
"Richard Bumscratcher, son of Thomas, tripped and fell crossing the road then got run over by a goat", it wouldn't be reasonable to take it as completely factual, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to go "It's probably just a story, but it might have happened" the just go on with your day. It'd be inconsequential, on top of being mundane.
Whereas claims made by religious texts, the gospels in this case, not only involve supernatural occurrences, but also carry the implication that said "fact" needs to be the most important thing in your life moving forward. It is not unreasonable for that claim to require further scrutiny.
The early Christians weren't martyred simply because they believed in Christianity. It was perfectly okay to worship any god, cult, or religion you wanted to in the Roman Empire. They were persecuted because they were a royal pain in the ass threatening to send their god to destroy the Empire while refusing to pay their taxes and contribute to Roman society. That and Nero blamed them for burning Rome down that one time.
@leoyohansen6811They also lived in a time when life was so miserable for many people that the idea they could escape to paradise by dying as martyrs felt like a better option than anything else.
Almost every ancient superstition believed in some sort of an afterlife, but Christians back then believed that martyrdom earned them extra points, just as some Muslims do today.
While many Christians still believe that persecution earns them extra points, they have to settle for losing elections and being called idiots instead of dying in the arena.
@leoyohansen6811Obviously, the overwhelming majority didn't believe in heaven enough or was desperate enough to martyr themselves to get there. Same as Muslims today.
I can't predict what would have happened if that version of an Abrahamic superstition died out before Rome had time to curse the future of humanity even more than it already had. However, I have little doubt that there wouldn't be any end-time superstitions threatening the survival of our species as much as that one does today.

There's a very big issue with his argument at the very beginning because, even if we grant that the event happened, he's using the fact that one thing is impossible as far as we know to argue that another thing that's impossible as far as we know therefore has to be possible. That is: Multiple people saw Jesus, who had died; group hallucinations are impossible as far as we know; conclusion: he must've risen from the dead.
The problem is this can also be done the other way around:
Multiple people saw Jesus, who had died; resurrection is impossible as far as we know; conclusion: they must've had a collective hallucination.
In simple terms, if an event having happened depends on one of two currently considered impossible things to have happened, then either A) the event didn't happen in the first place, or B) one of the two things is actually possible and we didn't know. The problem is, even if we ignore the fact that A is far more likely, we cannot know which of the two things is the correct one for case B.

Recap by Tammy AI
Shouldn't everyone go to "heaven" if "god" died for everyone's sins?
All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents, unbelief etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY
@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
It was only for that weekend tho. After that god went back to being a heartless prick
Matt is so more patient these days--right up into the point someone accuses him of a logic fallacy.
@@RandyWanat In heaven no unclean person is allowed in, you are unclean if you have sinned just once like lying, stealing, sexual immorality, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, evil thoughts etc Jesus (God manifest in the flesh) can put his sinless righteousness on you since He died on the cross, rose from the dead so REPENT AND BELIEVE IN HIM TODAY.
@@RandyWanat Not just infants, real Christians are seen as sinless and go to geaven becausee they repent and believe the good news of Jesus Christ. You do the same and get saved today so i can greet you in heaven
The sad part is, at different points, you can hear Anon realizing how crazy he sounds. He's not ready accept its all nonsense so he tries desperately to keep arguing but he keeps realizing he doesn't have anything to argue with. Existential crisis in real time.
Loved the example of Capitol riots. Just shows what cult members are willing to do when indoctrinated
He agreed his evidence was shit. Which is more than most believers will admit. But then there was that little bit in his brain that said "if my evidence is shit, then there is no reason to believe." And then another part of his brain said "we can't have that". And thus his mouth said (heavily paraphrased) "My shit evidence is good enough for me to believe, so now I need a distraction so that I don't keep getting called out on it."
"Strange woman hanging around lakes distributing swords is no sound basis for government" .

WHO GETS ALL THE ATTENTION?
Evil is against good, which religion or God is attacked the most? Whose Name gets taken in Vain? There are 2 million gods yet Jesus is attacked the most, why do you think that is?

@@davidsmith7653 People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.
I love how this was done with such Grace and kindness
God is the epitome of Holiness because He is sinlessly perfect, A sinner (liar, sexually immoral, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, thief etc) cannot be in the presence of God or else he will be utterly consumed therefore repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to go to Heaven.
@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 Ya, that's why your God commanded others to take their land, take their every possession, and slaughter them. Get a grip.
I literally just burst out laughing at how absurd these myths are listening to Matt destroy the arguments.
The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven).
If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. (Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead)
@@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 LMAO. You folks have CHOSEN to believe that all of your BS is true. It's a choice you made a a long time ago. Period. End of story. But still you "evangelize" and proselytize until gullible, ignorant people finally give in and you get a notch in your gospel gun. Good for you. Stay away from my kids.
I enjoy Matt's take down of these theist like I enjoyed watching Mike Tyson fights. As Mike said, everyone had a plan until they get hit and Matt has devastating knowledge power 😄💪🔥

God through the Holy Spirit has shown me several things relating to the afterlife with the purpose of convincing people like yourself. Stuff like Heaven and Hell, Angels, and evil Spirits the Lord Jesus (not worthy at all), a miracle happened to me that saved my life (thank you God) & so much more. I am more than happy to give further details.
Matt, you're my hero! Damn, I wish I could have seen you engaging in a conversation with my theistic brother to deflate his belief just a little.

I think he was trying (lamely) to reeason himself into belief but when you showed that his own long-held reasoning was clearly fallacious he reached for other, more spurious arguments he has probably absorbed from apologists. I think you had a chance to reel him in (unless he's just an obnoxious plant) and while I understand your impatience I was hoping you'd go more gentle on him and let your logic sink in. I do like your debates on the validity of the ressurrection -- they are very educational.
You want to know about Jesus? How would you like it if someone came up to you and said, “I love you, I really, really love you, but if you don’t love me back, I’m going to set you on fire. That’s Jesus. That’s not salvation, that’s extortion. And it’s definitely not love. It’s like a Mafia thug telling you to obey the boss or I’m going to break your kneecaps. If you can love that person, you have a twisted idea of love.

GOD’S STANDARDS
We think we are good people, but only God is good because God is sinless.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Adultery: 27 “You have heard that it was said [i]to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Murder: 21 “You have heard that it was said to those [d]of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother [e]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.
@@peaceman987 Thanks for your time and good questions
AREN’T WE ALL GOD’S CHILDREN, WHY SEND HIS OWN CHILDREN TO HELL?
God is love! When you are in your sins and not repenting and Believing in Jesus then your father is the Devil only when you become Born again your Father is God (adopted into God’s family). Here is one of the many references 1 John 8 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. When you Die; God will send you to your Father; If your Father was God then you will go to Heaven, if your Father was the Devil then you will go to Hell (Your deeds & Faith will show this)
Happy to believe in resurrection, but not group hallucination. Interesting picking and choosing.
