i don’t understand. not all people who grow up in a certain spot agree with one religion they grew up with. some convert. as i did. i’m now a orthodox christian. i believe it to be the way. i think atheists are just comforting themselves in hopes they never have to meet god. i was atheist for years. until i really thought about it. if we can explain why things are and how they got there. how come we can’t explain how all things got there or why all things are. a creator makes sense even scientifically. God is loving. he’s a parent. he loves us unconditionally. just doesn’t tolerate are lifestyle. hell is simply the rejection of gods love. not god not loving you. it’s the other way around. And when i went a little deeper, i found the christian god is quite literally a god we can’t comprehend if you’ve studied the trinity. Anthema i warn to you not condemn, but Metanoia i hope for you.

There are about 3000 religions with different gods and they all believe their religion is the only right one and the only truth and the only real god. This has to make one question you would think. But religions do not allow questioning.
Nope, any church worth attending will welcome questions. The biblical account is that there are these gods. Many are by name. It proposes the creator God is the only god worthy of worship for its a God above all others he created.
I often hear the bible has one God. Although it has 3 that make up one, it also acknowledges other gods. Some even have genuine power in the bible. So it doesn't teach there's no other gods. Just what people perceive as gods aren't worthy above the one who created all things.
@@coltonblake13 maybe but they are not in accord with one another and cannot all be correct.
@@timmayers4965 that's likely. The Bible just doesn't teach of one god. Just one whom is worthy, and a king of kings, lord of lords above all else. Including these gods.
@@timmayers4965 I feel for the most part they are. At least when you look at the ones most of earth follows. I trust the Bible over the rest. It gives an explanation for the gods. That they're only gods to man. That they have power over earth and indeed perform the supernatural. "gods, demigods", if you read Enochs writings as the Bible says christ did, you see their interference with mankind.
They almost all(to me) tell the same story of history but from different perspectives. The native American people share the same story, the Muslims are exactly the same story but the anti christ version of it.
The reasonable thing is to look at this, say, it seems absurd. Then the reasonable thing after should be "let me see why". Most don't actually want that answer, they settle for what they already believe.

Al those faith he mentioned still believe in a Creator, a start point of all things, from order, not from Chaos. We come from a drop of sperma to be an universe of cells in our body; which grows with order, with intelligence, which can not come from chaos, everything in the existance has order and pre-planned other wise some people would be born with need for Oxigen, and others with need for different gas to exist, since there is not expectations in chaos.
The human only learn what already exist, but wants to be all knowing when in reality they barely knows a little of their own world.
....so based on what he said every democratic system country has to believe in the exact way of democracy?
At least the different faith believers believe in the existance of Creation of order, not in creation from chaos.

The only honest truthful position is "I don't know" This is what an agnostic atheist should say. We are all subject to some level of indoctrination depending on where we are born. So never hate but have pity it could have been you. Anyone so deluded enough to confidently say they know can only be dishonest. If there happens to be a just God how would you judge people is judgement for disbelief even fair? Even the zealots creating these religions realized some evidence is needed. Jesus with his many miracles only a few at the time got to see them, Mohamed and his splitting of the moon why wasn't that observed and documented worldwide. The truth is we wouldn't exist if the moon was split in two, Mohamed wasn't aware of the scale of the physics involved. The "I don't know" is a very powerful position it drives the need for knowledge. The "I know" without facts. Is a position in which you will never know.
well said.
"I don't know and I don't care" would be my take. Except that my no knowing and not giving a f*ck has no impact on others whereas som 'knowers' go about killing 'unknowers'

The question reveals that the asker doesn't understand Dawkins' position.
You [can't] be wrong with the position "I don't know".
I'd clarify with a more meaningful position "where's the evidence". The position "I don't know" as in "I can't disprove it" applies to any 'god' the same as it applies to the tooth fairy or anything else you could name, so it's not very useful to identify as 'agnostic' when the application is so broad. Dawkins himself has conveyed this point, more eloquently than I can in a youtube comment, but that will do for a summary.
@@xellestar yep.
But as a matter of first steps, when we communicate with the theist, we first need to help them understand that it's not a binary I'm convinced he does or doesn't exist, but rather there can be a third position of "I don't know."
@@PBAmygdala2021 kind of arrogant that you think you need to help a believer with anything

Hence why the burden of proof lies with religious people. She didn't understand that she was the one making the claim, not him. That's why most Christians will still say "Well, you can't prove god DOESN'T exist!" which is just the most moronic response to a question.

@@shredder9536 I can logically demonstrate a universe without a god and how we can determine said god does not exist, and that if said god did exist "Outside space and time" it would be utterly incapable of interacting with us in any way. Can do you the same?
@@David13ushey go ahead then, give it your best shot.....
Sure. Energy can not be created or destroyed. We observe that everywhere in nature. Data likewise is everywhere in the universe. So there is a finite level of energy and a finite level of data in the universe. Entropy is spreading that data out equidistantly in one arrow of time, and pulling it all together in the other. At one point, the universe is at a state of equlibrium: right at the big bang, and at the point in which the universe can't expand any further. At that point, all the energy and data in the universe resets because space is relative. At equilibrium, the dwarf and the giant are the same size in the box because we don't know how big the box is at that point. So that's how the universe works.
Now, why can't a god act on our universe? Simple. Any action by a being outside our universe would add to the energy of the universe. It would add outside data and energy. We don't see 'additive energy' anywhere in the universe. No where the universe is increasing in mass or temperature without a explanatory phenomenon. Every slice of time has the same amount of energy in it, from the big bang to the end of the spreading of the universe. Even "thoughts" would increase the amount of energy in the system. Again, never been seen.

@@nori_tutor Jesus rose from the dead.
The questioner poses the problem Pascal claimed he solved: if God exists, by belief I gain heaven; if God does not exist, then I am no worse off. Dawkins points out that the God whose existence one makes the wager corresponds to the god worshipped in one’s community. If you wager on the wrong god, then you are not further ahead. And there are thousands of goods.
And truly Marcus Aurelius had the best opinion two thousand years ago
“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

@@floydpulley3509 Well, Floyd, that too poses a few problems. There are no contemporary accounts of Jesus saying anything, even if he truly existed. The earliest canonical texts are Paul, who got it all second hand, and Mark which is 20-30 years after the alleged death. Then, of course, you have someone speaking in metaphors…a great teaching approach, but hard to pin down in strict interpretation. For example, Frank Tarek tries to argue that the same texts that the Southern Baptists used to justify and promote slavery back in the day are in fact texts that just allow endentured servitude. Huh. And of course, Mohammed announced that his was the final revelation. And Joseph Smith had a new revelation in his hat. So even allowing that one should take prophets seriously without looking too closely into their bona fides, how can a disinterested person pick a prophet to follow.
It’s called a genetic fallacy. The origin of a person’s belief says nothing about the truth claim of a belief.
Yes it does
@Youcanthandlemyhandle899
No, it generally doesn't.
You can be born a hindu and become a Muslim. It just takes courage to reason that what you follow is wrong. Some people have too much arrogance for that.
One problem with that is that many religions punish non-believers for non-belief. A question that I've heard countless Christians ask is, "Where do all the people who have never heard the gospel go when they die?" The answer is always either a cowardly and wishful explanation that they're innocent or an explanation that these people who have never heard of Christianity burn in Hell forever, and that's how they push all their missionary garbage in order to get more donations.
It's not a fallacy because this is extremely observable in the real world.
You're completely ignoring the argument.
He's responding to what's essentially Pascal's wager, with the fact that believing just because "well what if it *is* true?" is simply a fool's errand, there are so many religions in the world, so many options throughout human history, but you just so *happened* to pick the correct one, somehow.

That girl was so proud of herself. You can hear it in her voice. She probably thought she was going to silence him with that complex question: “what if you’re wrong?”
Yup, typical snooty know-it-all Christian attitude.
She did silence him. He did not answer. Reframing the question exposed his silence. Thst was his weakness. That was his silence.
@simonnattrass2171 His answer was quite appropriate for the type of question posed. Anybody can be wrong. She can be wrong also. So if you are going down the 'What if' lane then anything really is possible and anyone and everyone can be wrong. There can be a God, there is no God. God is really the Devil and the Devil is actually God. Inside is outside and up is down. If she wants a better answer then she should start asking better questions.

@@simonnattrass2171The man not answering the question in the exact pattern you expect him to answer it in doesn't make him, or his position, weak. If I were to give a direct answer, I would likely say something along the lines of "then I haven't spent my life worshiping a self-centered totalitarian killer.'
The answer in which he avoided was “then I would spend eternity enduring everlasting torment in hell shaking my fist at God for not giving me enough evidence”. If you’re right, you don’t spend any amount of time doing anything and in fact your whole existence and all the work you’ve done becomes utterly pointless for you and anyone who listened or didn’t listen to you because all memories and knowledge anyone provides is ultimately destroyed in a finite universe. And even in an infinite universe the chances of us making it any length of real time is so unimaginably tiny that it’s futile to even hope for. Our existence becomes equivalently as though no one ever existed. No memories, no life, no anything. So in conclusion to this way of thinking, it truly doesn’t matter how much harm or good you do because those memories won’t exist for you or whoever you’ve hurt. None of that makes sense to me. There’s so much evidence for God, but there’s no amount that would ever be enough for those unwilling to see. It would be very wise for everyone that’s in this comment section who thinks they have figured it all out to be very, very sure you’re correct.
Strongest argument indeed. What you believe is entirely depending on where you were born and when. Pure chance.
I was raised in the UK and it is atheistic to the core. I was raised secular. I am now a Christian. It had nothing to do with my upbringing

Technically the UK is a Christian country, Just most people know it's just nonsense.
This guy sounds clever only to teenagers. The argument god vs no god is much more complex and rooted in culture, language, psychology and phisics. He is basically denying a really childish idea of God.
How many other traditions did you study, dissect, and consider in your journey to theism?
I agree, we are in general atheist, and I am proud that we are.
It is our duty to think for ourselves and consider any possibility. Accept you will not find the truth, only then it will reveal parts of itself.
What evidence do you have to prove your claim that the truth will only reveal parts of itself once you accept you won't find truth?
If you allow yourself to get persuaded into an idea or religion, then your search will end because you already found the “truth”, which is much better than being an atheist and believing nothing, but it shuts a door. Religions come and go and they all believe THEY are the true path. Think for yourself. Consider every one of them but look at them from a rational perspective, not because the religion just seems “appealing” or has some beautiful verses. I believe this is the only way we can discover parts of the actual truth.
@@erikbouma9408 You do not understand atheism. We don't shut the door to anything, but simply reject non-evidentiary claims. Our minds are open and if someone provides credible evidence for something, we can and will change our minds. Until someone gives me good reason or evidence to think otherwise, I see no logic or rationality in believing in or worshipping any non-evidentiary entity. So, this leads me to ask you, on what basis are you claiming that I'm not thinking for myself?
@@ga6589Well, I’m more so emphasizing that a certain religion is restricting your belief, not so much having no religion. What I would say to you is that evidence is often suggestive. When I look at LGBTQ I feel like atheists aren’t so evidence based after all… Scientific literature is also often corrupted by interests for certain companies or governments. Now I’m not saying the earth is flat, but evidence now can be debunked later on. Now perhaps there is no god, but there is no proof to claim there isn’t. The most renowned scientists are often religious. But like you say if someone can convince you of something then great, but just be rational about it.
It's never about where you been brought up. It's always about how willing to accept you are when you're exposed to the truth
You obviously missed my point. Dawkins blames the venue of upbringing responsible for one's faith system, yet his assertion doesn't seem to apply for him. Atheists are found all over the world.
I mean... atheism isn't a religion... so it seems that rules of faith might not apply to it
@@crazydragy4233Say the atheists, but in reality the atheists behave exactly like in a religion. The atheist "believes" God does not exist since the atheist cannot actually say "God does not exist" (he can't prove it). The atheists live their lives under their own personal authority making them their own "god". Their perception of their reality is based on a God-less universe- that takes faith to accept. Our world has 7% followers in Atheism.
@@rodrodriguez460 Wha exactly is religion by you definition? If I believe that apples are blue is that a religion or just me being colour blind?
@@crazydragy4233 Are apples blue? In reality, apples appear to be the color which the observer detects based on the light spectrum they are sensitive to. So, if one perceives it to be blue and has faith that it is, sure, it's blue. The same goes for the observation of creation. If one perceives it as evidence for God, so be it. But, I tend to play with the atheist's interpretation of Faith. They claim "faith" is blind to evidence. Atheistic interpretations fall into the category of "mythology" or "religion" by that standard. When an atheist "believes" there is no God, it becomes an assumption/faith, hence Faith. But, in my heart, mind and soul, Faith is the understanding that as humans we are limited by our brain; therefore, we cannot say "God does not exist". How can we rely on the limitations of human comprehension to reduce God to particles found in the universe? Dawkins "believes" something must have existed for the universe to come out of nothing (a paradox). So, should we all follow Dawkins' Religion?
@@rodrodriguez460 well said brother.
Ithink Dawkins position is simply, you are rediculous. He doesnt actually make a point. There are millions of former muslims who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Every combination of religion switcheroo has already taken place. Means nothing
The whole point is that any conception of the divine is a partial insight into the same thing. Attacking religions is easy, because they are all limited, self-evidently, by individual cultures. But even die-hard atheists must formulate some sense of meaning to their own existence, and that meaning partakes of God whether they are prepared to acknowledge it or not.

Since the answer to that question depends on what god he's wrong about, his response is perfectly reasonable. He turned it back on her, rhetorically, to show that it's an unanswerable question.
He can only be wrong in her World view, he knows there is nothing more when he dies, so its a stupid question to ask an atheist, but the answer was for theists
He didn't answer the question, he just bought up obvious nonsensical 'gods'. Most people of these 'religions' converted to Christianity, the holy book of which is the most historically authentic and verifiable document we have. There is an abundance of evidence for Christ and His miraculous power. Without God there is nothing and no meaning, nor single coherent explanation as to why we are here, where we came from, and why we do what we do.

As Dawkins points out, had the young lady been brought up elsewhere, she’d likely hold different beliefs. obviously this is true. But that’s not an argument. Showing how someone may have come to hold a position is not a refutation of the position itself. It may have some utility, to be sure, but it’s not an actual argument. And it applies elsewhere. Say we were debating taxes or something, it would be a poor argument to say: ‘well you only think we should raise taxes because you were raised by democrats’. again I’m not saying the proposition is incorrect about geography impacting religious belief, I’m saying that fact is irrelevant regarding God’s existence or non existence
Edit: tho let’s be serious, the young lady’s argument was ‘what if you’re wrong?’ Not exactly an intellectually rigorous philosophical inquiry, lol
That’s all well and good, but it wasn’t his argument. The observation he made there was peripheral to the actual argument. Obviously he’s not trying to refute her position by figuring *why* she’s a Christian. He’s just supplementing his actual argument that “being wrong” in this sense doesn’t just mean that the god of the Bible is real. For an atheist, it could mean thousands of potential outcomes in whatever afterlife would end up being real. The Christian, or any religious person, has that many minus one.

How likely do you think it is that the very first book of the Bible has the gospel message embedded in the very first genealogy?
The problem with Genesis 5 is that these proper names are not translated for the reader from their Hebrew meanings, so you have to unravel these by digging into the meaning of the Hebrew roots that make up the names.
Adam: (adomah) “man”
Seth: “appointed” (Genesis 4:25)
Enosh: (from root anash, “to be incurable”) “mortal,” “frail,” “miserable”
Kenan: “sorrow,” “dirge,” “elegy”
Mahalal’el: “the Blessed God” - (mahalal) “blessed”; (El) the name of God
Jared: (from the verb yaradh) “shall come down”
Enoch: “commencement” or “teaching”
Methuselah: “his death shall bring” - muth, a root that means “death”; shalach means “bring” or “send forth”
Lamech: “despairing” (from which we get “lament” or “lamentation”)
Noah: (derived from nacham) “comfort” or “rest” (Genesis 5:29)
We now can look at genealogy with more insight. The sequence: Adam > Seth > Enosh > Kenan > Mahalaleel > Jared > Enoch > Methuselah > Lamech > Noah reads, in English, “Man [is] appointed mortal sorrow; [but] the blessed God shall come down teaching [that] His death shall bring [the] despairing rest.”
Hidden in the meaning of the names in the genealogy is a beautiful presentation of the Gospel of God’s saving grace.
Most Biblical scholars believe the Book of Genesis was the first book to be written down. This would have happened around 1450 BC to 1400 BC. So perhaps about 3400 years or so ago.
The four canonical gospels-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John-were all composed within the Roman Empire between 70 and 110 CE (± five to ten years) as biographies of Yeshua of Nazareth, written about a generation after the crucifixion and ascension of Yeshua.

For someone who always appeared so intelligent, Dawkins was stunningly daft. In this bit, he rather sneeringly attributes all religious affiliation to one's upbringing and surrounding culture, leaving out little things like personal experience, observation, thought, and free choice. For example, I was raised in America. My mother was a Lutheran, my father an atheist. For most of my life, I considered myself an agnostic Buddhist. I have read the Quran, cover-to-cover, multiple times. For many years, now, I have openly declared myself to be a Christian. I arrived at my beliefs not through brainwashing and indoctrination, but through personal spiritual experience and a rather lengthy study of the Near Death Experiences of countless thousands of other people.

@@drilonagjokaj1151 Once dead we will know nothing because we will be dead. No brain activity. But some people have developed a deep psychological need to believe that death is not a certainty.
The reasons why adult and intelligent people end up believing in a magical world with eternal lives and invisible super-powered beings are hidden in psychology and are almost always unperceivable to the individual who has ended up developing those beliefs.
One example (among many) of this is Pinecreek's theorem.
@@vejeke Good on you for believing it and going this way of life. I keep on believing that there will be life after death. Just wait and see what is the truth once we are dead, because we all haven’t experienced it yet so we all are not 100% sure what truly will happen
Dodged the question though.
It's what they (scientism Atheist) all do. They use the strawman of Fundamentalism, but have no actual knowledge of theology philosophy or classical reasoning.
Its not knowledge @@mlinarful
@@mattgartside7885 You make my case. Thank you.
He Literally answered the question with the perfect answer
There is 10000 relgions out there
A Christian doesn't believe in 9999 of the relgions out there
An atheist doesn't believe in 10000 of them...
No he didn’t. The answer is the same for everyone. Just ask the question to yourself and there is your answer.
He didn't answer the question though did he? 😅
He did, you just can’t understand the answer because you take your delusions seriously.
@@brandonszpot8948 Everyone seems dilutional if it doesn't go with your idealogy. So, you are also dilutional to other people with different idealogy. But Dawkins did it several times, irrelevant totally,but you found rational.
@@hasanmoinulhaque9197 If I told you there were Unicorns on the moon, and proceeded to wage war in order to force people to accept that, would I be following my religion or my delusion?
Yes he did, she made a stupid statement and he explained that everyone, even the religious has chosen a belief so what if they're wrong about that specific faith, shea Christian, so what if she's wrong about not being hindu, she was born in a largely Christian area hence why she's Christian, she didn't really choose, she was indoctrinated
There is no guarantee anyone is right. But thankfully we have developed a brain that can reason, and my brain tells me clearly that religion consists of man made stories produced by people that had to resort to the idea of god because they had no explanation for how the natural world operated.
Christians believe the Bible which can be accessed and tested by all of those cultures. The Bible has stood the test of scrutiny for thousands of years which the same cannot be said for the other religions that the speaker called out.
Yeah, because walking on water and rising from the grave like a zombie totally holds up to scrutiny.
Quran and Book of Mormon make same claims
Their book was so true they burned everyone who was slightly contradicting it, just look at Galileo
Also there is islam who stood the test of time aswell so your points defeats itself, at least they had the decency to write it while their prophet was alive
Hilarious.
You would argue the same if you were born in Afganistan, for quran.
The bible has been changed loads of times to suit the agenda of the people in power, all man made and made with loads of men.
