It's a badge of honor in a way, so congrats on making his radar! Loved hearing how you came back, but even better is the example of being able to show how seriously you once believed, really bought in, let it lead your life, and were still able to make it out and find the truth. Many people think Christians on the level of Ray Comfort are unreachable, too brainwashed, too irrational etc. Nope, we were just stuck, indoctrinated, and lost. Thanks for being an excellent example of the truth actually setting people free.
It really does feel like a badge of honor 😄 thank you!
The mighty duo of Mindshift and Kristi 🤝
Love both you guys, should collab! ❤
@@christophergibson7155 shiver me timbers
Hello! Following both of you.
Can you imagine the insane amount of heartlessness it takes for a person to listen to someone pour out their heart, explain their beliefs, and tell their story only for that person to tell them "no you only THINK you suffered that much, you're just an uneducated, insincere liar."
I can image it. If Ray says it.
@maurice
What point do you think you're making?
even if the "suffering" is factual, it does not automatically entitle you to anything. Every human has suffered in some way or other. It comes from the basic condition where we have needs and wants that we have to address by whatever means appear available to us. Some
humans are more successful with that situation than others. Those less so, are not necessarily in control of the same parameters that others
seem to be. The strongest evidence for which is the phenomena where some are born into relative wealth and power and apparently never
experience anything else.
the part that is TRULY mystifying is how the latter cases also seem to self-perpetuate a profound attitude of entitlement. I can only conclude that they were raised to presume it.
And it would follow somewhat, that in the practice thereof, there would also be an attitude that the rest of humanity however visible to
such people ARE NOT thusly entitled. And whatever belief-system goes with it, would justify that attitude since even the rich and entitled
want to believe somehow that they are provably correct about their attitudes.
even when dealing with rigid ideologues (which I do kind of frequently in my online manifestations) I do try to adhere to a general practice of NOT claiming to have any authority to reject someone's indicated "direct prior experiences".
I Might instead try to suggest OTHER WAYS OF CHOOSING TO INTERPRET THEM.
But I cannot ethically presume any inherent authority by which I might do that, nor claim to possess any brilliantlly insightful mastery of "appropriate context" either.
Ray is a disingenuous f that projects his toxic thoughts onto others.
If one of them ever asked me if I've ever told a lie, my response would be: "Have you ever told the truth?"
I suspect the people in his videos are actors. If not, it’s a given that a recording of anyone who pushed back would never see the light of day.
But that doesn't answer the question 🤔
I've done this many times with street preachers. They usually shutdown and realize you know their script.
@@malirk and usually know THE scripts better than them too :)
@cyrus312 They just say you’re a liar and no one is perfect but God. I tried that earlier on.
Lying to them doesn’t work.
Breaking the script has better results.
Ray won the gold medal in the Olympics for mental gymnastics.
Yes!! He's also KNOWN as the "Banana Man". His tiny brain is like a small rock: No thinking takes place!!
😅
I don't understand where the problem is: Christianity is a religious belief. In other words: *Its your job to pray and obtain ... - NOT to search for such stupid things as "sense" ...
@@lincolnsixecho51 It's so funny that Christians want to advocate for their beliefs using the very thing they criticize from atheists
@@lincolnsixecho51 please say /j 😰😰😰
As a former Christian turned atheist who has also had the No True Scotsman fallacy laid on me, I can say I feel real pity for those using that argument. I think they are, probably in most cases, coming from a place of fear. “If I admit they really were a Christian and now are not then that would be a tacit admission that I could also leave the faith”.
Atheist not athiest.😁
But, there aren't any true Scottsmen, lol. Just traveling Saxons. Or was it Angelo's? I forget, one of them two.

What irked me most about Ray Comfort and the banana thing was when confronted with the fact modern bananas are a product of genetic engineering instead of humbly admitting he was wrong he doubled down and pretended it was a "joke" and accused of Atheists of just not having a sense of humor. Um no Ray you were friggin serious, you even put it in kids books.
What? Ray lied? I’m shocked! Shocked! Well…not that shocked. 😆
I've watched him debate Matt Dillahunty a couple of times and it's all in one ear, out the other with him. It doesn't matter how many times he's told he is undeniably and factually wrong about something, he keeps on repeating it.
So he slipped on his on his own banana skin? Karma? As you peel, so shall you slip.
@@mjjoe76So I guess we should find Ray on the street and tell him he's a liar?
Even if the banana was a fruit that has been around for the full 6-10k years that I assume Ray believes the universe is, it's so dumb to think that the shape of the banana and the shape of the hole in our hands being similar is anything more than a coincidence. I just don't get how that's evidence of creation
Ray tried doing the same thing to Matt Dillahunty in their debate and Matt crushed him. He kept saying Matt I know that I’m your heart you know there is a god. And Matt kept saying, “NO you don’t know that. Stop saying that you know things about me that you don’t.”
He tried the same crap with Aron Ra too. Ray kept trying to dodge and move the goal post on every tough question Aron had and even tried the "good person" test as if Aron had never heard that bs before.
@@Giwii-ojiminDillahunty is pretty tough on people who think reasoning, logic, and evidence don’t apply to them.
It’s “Blasphemy” and “unpardonable” ….see y’all this is what happens when you CHOOSE to DENY your own mental faculties …first sign is spelling errors …. damn it feels GREAT leaving the Church even after decades for me….Everyday I had to voluntarily and willingly SUPPRESS my intelligence to the point where I could see myself how intellectually inferior I became .
@@richr905Ahah🙂 i love this.
There is nothing more enraging than being told what is in your head. Ray is such a do*uche.
Thanks for your wonderful videos!
100 North Korean dollars, noice
He really applies the Richard Nixon idea of morality: "When the president does it, that means it's not it illegal"
😄
Ha! Can I use that? 😂
You’ll realize that almost all people are that way one day
Except that we're talking about the creator of the universe full.
@@dennisduncan7561 So morality is relative now? Morality doesn't apply equally to the creator and the created? So when God did a genocide by flooding the world, that was okay according to you? I guess its okay when its God doing the murdering.
What kind of deity would tell his followers "Your good deeds are like filthy minstrel rags to me"? This made me hate myself when I was a Christian fundamentalist.
An evil one created by ancient men.
homophobic sand men that hated women
Then why did He want bequeathable, for life, slaves?
Or captive, war brides. Or all the inaction... it appears; during the slave trade, later?
And have, you so far - ever, responded, to a quarter, of what I've said, also?
Also, many have wondered, for a long time - why WERE many angels, not born, correctly... in heaven?
A realm, surely, with no confusion, imperfection, unhappiness... or needless traits, like delusional, suicidal, pride, built, in?
Let alone, a 'glass darkly' before, Revolt?
And many can tell the difference, in theory - priority-wise - between Numbers 15:32, and a prolonged slave trade, too. So I conjecture.
One got a nice, rapid, direct reaction - but the other, did not.
So what standard, was fully in effect... there?@@christophergibson7155
I disagree that our standards are low compared to Gods because our standards have increased over time. We don't agree with human sacrifices or blood rituals anymore.@@christophergibson7155
@christophergibson7155
You're just mindlessly repeating the nonsense the church has taught you. I'm sure that deep down in your heart you don't really believe that babies being drowned or having their skulls smashed against rocks can be considered in any way "good"?
Congratulations, Kristi! You've come full circle! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
😊
I'm a 68 year old life long atheist. I read the entire bible 2 times. I have seen several of your videos now and you say the same things the voice in my head I has been saying to me my entire life. You are the best. PLEASE never stop!
ua-cam.com/video/svwK8ge2GYQ/v-deo.html
Voice in your head? U know then from reading the Bible twice that it says the fool says in his heart there is no God. Also that God uses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise..go UA-cam - are you a good person by living waters
@@Mike-zy8inguilt shamers often call people fools. Keep following your guilt cult. It's your right. 😂
@SamanthaAllen-ir5bo the Bible says the fool says in his heart there is no God. I'm telling u what the Bible says when someone denies the truth about God. Go UA-cam - are you a good person by living waters
You are a 68 year old reactionary, what is atheism ??? it needs to be defined as to what the 'God" that is not "believed in" actually is...not trying to be a jerk here but atheists need to explain themselves regarding what they do not believe in
Ray: Howdy stranger, have you ever told a lie?
Stranger: Who the hell are you?
Ray: I'm here for Jesus, have you ever told a lie?
Stranger: Maybe, have YOU ever told a lie?
Ray: Yes, and Jesus has forgiven me.
Stranger: Then you admit you're a liar and I have no reason to believe you. G'bye
Perfect!
I love this!
@@jezebelvibesKristi, lying is part of self defense. In this case it is moral.
Ray: "Have you ever told a lie?"
Me: "Yes."
Ray: "That makes you a liar!"
Me: "No, because I'm telling the truth."
@@rageofheaven
Excellent. Good to make fun of these self-righteous griftians.
I did notice that when Ray talked about hardening our hearts, and he says, “like Pharaoh”. He totally leaves out the fact that, “God hardened the pharaoh’s heart”.
@@christophergibson7155 I don’t understand why that would make a difference.
Ray didn’t specify which chapter he wanted us to focus on.
God decided to get involved and harden the pharaoh’s heart, Ray didn’t say look at the time before God got involved.
I heard the words “they harden their heart like the pharaoh”.
I noted that too in my last reading of the bible. God hardened pharoahs heart
Exactly.
Didn't god also kill all the firstborn infants and children?
Just to clarify, Pharaoh was viewed as a god in his country. So if he was being shown up by God in his country, yea, he would probably harden his heart. Pride does that.
I was "saved" after watching Rays videos on UA-cam and then gave out his tracts for many years. Long story short thanks to channels like yours I am now an atheist. Another great video Kristi
I was a Christian but never deep into that propaganda . How do you get so deep you hand out this tracts? I am just asking because I never did any of that.. Better than that, how do you get someone that is over the edge to look at their own actions and see how messed up they are to themself and otherr?
I mean I see people deep but it makes no sense and so illogical.
@@Cuffsmasteryou didn't ask me but I have an answer for you. It all lies with your church, what your pastor is pushing and your friends going "witnessing". It's all about proving you are a good Christian.
@@chubsnubber4867 "it s all about proving you are a good Christian"
BuIIshlt I knew they were freaks when I was 4 or 6 years old. I am 74 now. I was born and raised in the Church too.
Being stupid and a pushy a$$ toward others is not proving you are a goooood any thing much less a christian. It just shows you are screwed up and delusional at best.
That is laughable about proving you are a good Christian
@@Cuffsmaster I got so "deep" because according to the bible Jesus said "if you love me you'll keep my commandments". I didn't want others to go to hell and he commanded me to go into the world to share the good news. I was also young (19) and impressionable
@@Lightman741 "jesus said .. he commanded .. young and impressionable"
I understand and getting older has many advantages. Thanks
Wow, the mental gymnastics one has to do to make sense of the Bible. I was only in Christianity for ten months and the anxiety and fear about going to hell I've felt as I walk away has been truly disturbing. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to walk away after being raised in the church. I still have fear and doubt that I'm doing the 'right' thing.
Thank you Kristi ! Love what you do. Your style, grace, charm, and wit are a bonus. You are that light at the end of a tunnel. Live long and prosper.
You helped me fully deconstruct! Thank you
So happy to hear that :)

@@christophergibson7155 do you ever give up with your assertions that you have no evidence of and why is it you are a coward and can't answer my questions?
@@christophergibson7155 it's so very sad that you believe in and worship a baby killer.
Lazarus was dead (in his sins) and had no free will.
Therefore he could not choose to bring God into his heart and save himself and gain free will.
Being dead, it was the choice of Jesus to enter the tomb and raise Lazarus.
The Lazarus analogy fails miserably imho and totally contradicts the point he is trying to say.
As for Pharoah, it was God who hardened his heart.
Exactly this. It was such a weird angle.
I just love your joyful attitude! What an amazing example proving the bitter, angry, hateful atheist is just another apologist lie. ❤
Kristi, just listening to your laughter as you responded to so many points brightened my day and made this video one of the most enjoyable yet. Hearing the disbelief in your voice, as you even laughed at your old self and old beliefs, was really refreshing.
IMO that’s one of the reasons I think people are drawn to your content. The way you laugh as you make these videos is so different from any other online atheist creators I can think of. I think it’s probably why so many people who’ve recently deconverted, or are currently deconverting, find comfort in your presentation, and why so many say that your videos help heal their trauma.
I see that you too have been taken in by the false ‘laughing’ persona that Kristi plans beforehand to project to anyone watching her videos. It surprises me that you have been taken in by this. My observations tell me that Kristi is likely to be depressed or suffering from Clinical Depression, as she projects a false persona in her videos. Something definitely does not add up here in her videos and the euphoric way in which she is presenting herself with negative criticism of Christianity. The ‘laughing’ almost mocking presentation of criticising Christians, is I would suggest due to deep depression that has a manic up and down nature - symptomatic of Bipolar depression.
If I were to put what Kristi presents to us into a mathematical equation, then what she presents to us in these videos, simply does not add up!
@@theonlyway5298 that literally has to be one of the dumbest responses I’ve ever seen. “Your observations?” Pray tell, what exactly are your qualifications to psychoanalyze someone on the Internet? How the heck do you know this is a false persona? Given that I also laugh at and mock dumb Christian video content on the web, will you also assume that I am bipolar? You’d be wrong, of course.

Thank you so much! I'm working on a Patreon right now! Let me know what kind of content you'd like to see on Patreon. Still figuring out the tiers!
@@jezebelvibes I have no idea about rewards, as that isn’t something I think about. If I’m supporting someone, it’s for their content, not the rewards. I currently support 18 creators, so I don’t do big amounts for each, usually ~$10/month. Which doesn’t usually put me in anyone’s top tier. 😁

I’m not 100% sure Ray can have a conversation. His only goal is to try and spread that crap.

@@Jay-oj4hjno it is not.
It’s not fair for us who have left to be accused of “never knowing God”

It truly is, I was serious in my heart when I asked their "God" to "save" me. Guess their "God" was in the John at that moment.
@@wesleyshaffer773 I will never forget seeing an interview many years ago with a Holocaust survivor, she was crying when she asked why god was awol, truly heart rending :(
Do you know God now?
sometimes I feel like I should have believed when I was younger just to answer the "you didn't really know God" with "yup 🤷🏼♂️ I really did have some aweful exes, and met a lot of other unsavory people... but luckly I never did the naked horizontal tango with a immortal, psychotic and gen0cydal D-ck ghost (that insists in having 4-ways with every single living being, involving a blazing BDSM pidgeon)"... or something like that...
because lots of translations I saw of the bible call doing s3x "knowing someone" 😅
In the early 90’s I attended the Pentecostal Church and the pastor used to compare women to cockroaches, I thought that was horrible and soon I left that congregation.
That's horrible and unsurprising
@@jezebelvibes I left because I disagreed with him and he in turn said that god was going to punish me for talking back to him.
Thank you so much. Your videos have been a blessing to me who was raised in the church and believed well into my 20s. I am 32 and am deconstructing from the nonsensical cult now. It’s hard, especially being around my immediate and extended family who are very hurtful towards others who don’t agree with their extreme Christian beliefs. Safe to say I at least live far away from them all on the other half of the US with my wonderful husband and 3 cats. They’ve been helping me heal, and your videos help tremendously. Thank you!!❤
"God is never complicit when bad things happen in the bible" - Yes, Ray, that's the root of your problem...
And also, sometimes Yahweh is indeed complicit. For instance he allowed the Satan (the adversary, the accuser) to mess with Job, his family, his livestock in a really bad way.
Ray and those preachers use GOD as the means to get privileges and money...
Hypocrites
@@vadouis-rt3of I'm very well aware that Job's wealth was doubled at the end of the story, his health was reinstated and he had offspring again.
But that's just a deflection from all the grief, pain, despair, perdition and loss he had to go through. If Yahweh really was all-powerful, He could've easily found a way to achieve His means without inflicting all that evil on unsuspecting souls.
And even if we take into account the eventual outcome, what with doing away with his former children and his former livestock? They haven't been resurrected, Job had new animals and new offspring. What with treating those as expendable, replaceable objects? How is their nonchalant eradication not evil?

I decided atheism was for me when I was about 8, I was extremely fortunate to have great parents who let me choose, clearly there are many more less fortunate than me.
It’s a hard read seeing some of the comments on your posts from people who were clearly indoctrinated from early childhood, imho that sort of indoctrination is akin to child abuse.
It takes courage to acquire scepticism and act on it, and it requires a lot of subsequent support.
Your channel is helping to provide that, well done!
Ray should be loving you out loud for your courage, intelligence and honesty. You give him an opportunity to take his theology to a new place. Go girl.
Your words and your whole persona is so calming and kind and sweet!
You are the type of person I used to think the "Good Christians" were!
We atheists have to show kindness to everyone, just like the truly kind Christians do.
Most of the time yes, but for some people, whenever "Jesus" is mentioned then all hell breaks loose, and why is that?
@@sirnoble269 Because Jesus is the only way, and people want their own way at times. It was never about who shows more kindness, never about others. We all broke God's law, every one of us broke the 10 commandments. Commandments made to protect us from ourselves, to protect us from death. But Jesus fulfilled the commandments for you, He died your death. That's how much He loves you. Please, don't seek religion, seek the Creator. Because there is no hope without God.
Earth cleanses itself the deeper you go. If you search up headwater of a river you'll find it's source. This source is a hole in the ground that travels many miles down and the water gushes out of it. Every river is a fresh water spring drinkable near its source. The breeze of wind with the waters on a hot day is paradise. The seasons and the landscapes to adventure to are managed. To have this not managed would be a place far away where it is dry without water either too cold too hot all the time. This is reality without the presence of the life. This is what hell means. Many declare, “I shall sustain my own, please my own” Who can produce the breeze of the wind and draw the sun and the birds and the plants to please you. Who shall tell them to speak and produce good things? Only the life who you deny. Because of your denial you yourselves are in danger of the land far from his presence where only chaos remains. By your message you declare there is a another way. shall you manifest and produce? Who can manifest the life from the barren seed? Your danger is real. In the matter of things that you call electrons father is there. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath, all life would cease and humanity would turn to dust.

Your husband is not your Creator, nor is he the judge of your soul. So it's a false comparison.

But you should know that we are not sinners because we sin, rather we sin because we are sinners.

😋
@@christophergibson7155well let’s look at the Christian hypocrisy. For example: Josh Duggar. Working for a conservative Christian lobbying group on going on his vile families tv show talking about and promoting family and Christian values while also molesting children, viewing child porn, going to strip clubs, going on cheating websites, hiring hookers etc
30:27 “By doing this he makes that word good meaningless.” This is the entire mission of the bible. To change the definition of good so that people see evil as good and hate as love.
The various Christian churches/denominations want their followers to switch off their thinking bulbs (supposedly given to them by God himself) and mindlessly follow the word of the Bible (notwithstanding the impossibility to overcome the truckloads of contradictions) or rather their respective interpretation of the Bible (of which there can be as many as there are living minds in the universe)
If you think this is the entire mission of the Bible....you've missed the mission of the Bible. The Bible lauds good and denounces evil.
When people judge God for taking a life, as she does in the video, they forget that He's God. If we take someone's life, it's murder, because that was not our life to take. We've taken something that didn't belong to us in the first place. If God takes someone's life, however, it is His life to take. He created that person. He's the creator and author of that person's life, and as such, has full rights over that life. As much as we might not like it, it's His perfect right to take someone's life at any point.
None of us are promised a life span of however long we want. Some get 2 years, some 12, some 52, some 82. It's in God's hands how long our life is because He's the one who created our life.
@@maxspringer01 The Bible is just a book, filled with words to read and has no mission in and of itself.
However, the authors, translators and those who selected certain scriptures and rejected others, arranged them, changed them, those that preach them (or certain parts thereof) those are all biased humans and have agendas to a greater or lesser extend (or missions, if you will).
@@uNiels_Heart Why couldn't this "omni-everything gawd write his bs buybull himself? Did he even attend grade school?
'If you think this is the entire mission of the Bible.... you've missed the mission of the Bible. The Bible lauds good and denounces evil.'
Yes, it can denounce evil things, but it can also promote evil things, like owning slaves, and not just that, no, no, no, your children can also inherit them. Leviticus 25:44-46 And before you tell me that slavery was really indentured servitude paying off a debt, then why are there different words for the occupations 'Hired servant' and 'Bond servant'? Not only that, why are they treated differently? The verses before the ones I've listed say to not treat a hired servant like a bond servant. Granted, it's a fellow Israelite that's become poor and has to serve as a hired servant till the year of Jubile, but the fact that God's telling them to not treat them like bond servants does not speak well of the occupation.
Also, assuming that the Christian god is real for the sake of the argument, if he could make a ritual that kills a foetus inside the womb in Numbers 5:14-28, then why couldn't he, in Deuteronomy 22:28-29, have made a ritual that makes an unbetrothed virgin clean again and put the man who raped her in a ward, instead of having a shotgun wedding, if uncleanliness was the issue? God is all-powerful, he can do things that no man nor thing can do, so this shouldn't be a problem.
'When people judge God for taking a life, as she does in the video, they forget that He's God. If we take someone's life, it's murder, because that was not our life to take. We've taken something that didn't belong to us in the first place. If God takes someone's life, however, it is His life to take. He created that person. He's the creator and author of that person's life, and as such, has full rights over that life. As much as we might not like it, it's His perfect right to take someone's life at any point.'
Wow, what a way to sound like a sociopath... The whole objection to killing isn't because of how much it hurts those round them, or even that God cares about them, but, rather, it's because they aren't the killer's property. Sickening... Also, why does God creating a human being automatically mean he that owns them like an inanimate object? We're so much more than that and it's such a shame that your religion does not see that.
It's just so typical that Ray Comfort would hear about babies being dashed against rocks and immediately think "abortion".
Somebody should sit Ray down and calmly explain to him that babies can't be dashed be dashed against rocks . . . until they are born.
Don't make it too complicated. Remember to use small words that Ray can understand.
It's a little hard too, to be born when you're drowned in a world wide flood sent by a capricious, sadistic & dissatisfied God.
Thanks!
Thank YOU! ☺️
“Hello friends and heathens” 😂 I love it!!
And I’m one of those heathens …and very proud of it too!
How the hell have I not come across your videos yet? Satan must be working overtime! You're amazing! I would love to interview you to get your story. Is there a good way to contact you? ❤
Are you not communicating with her now?
Hail Satan!
Kristi you are a ray of light! So well spoken. The Great Spaghetti Monster has called you to this mission.
Also, in the doctor analogy, Ray is using an example of a strawman patient of a doctor who is told there is a problem. But this person feels great so they reject the doctors advice (until the doctor scares him with xrays). But who would reject a doctors warnings just because they felt great? Maybe a few, but most would understand there is such a thing as early detection and would be grateful to know they can get a head start on their recovery. So its a total ridiculous strawman argument.
And Ray in the doctor analogy does not know that we see and talk to our physicians during therapy. Buybull Gawd only talks to snakes, asses or bushes. Or to ancient people where cameras and videos are out of bounds.
Ray was never diagnosed with a life threatening condition, because most whom are usually get a second opinion. Mention that to Ray and his head starts spinning.
I’m only weeks into my deconstruction and you are helping me. Thank you.
Ray comfort can’t bring himself to admit that there are people who once believed as he did with all their hearts, and then lost their faith along the way for various reasons. And that’s because if a former believer can lose their belief, then so can he, and that scares him and ruins his script.
He instead must rely on NoTrueScottsMan fallacies, baseless assumptions, and misrepresenting other people.
Ray comfort simply refuses to learn and change with the information.
That's because it's how he makes his living, and he has no skills to go out and make a living some other way.
The likes of Ray and our Christopath are aware of everything. Just doing it for money that griftians worship.
The various reasons really come down to the fact that a persons consciousness and sentience can only be suppressed for so long …. The human conscious brain KNOWS better than to continuously adhere to such ludicrous and illogical fairytales in the face of TRUE FACTS.
Your original vid, along with several other "why I'm not a Christian anymore" vids, marked my transition from deconstruction to deconversion. I can't thank you enough for that.
I just wish I'd found you before the age of 46 (this past spring). I gave my best years to a myth. Wound is still fresh, so it stings.
🩷🩷🩷 happy you found your way out
@@fewilcoxYT Right there with you. Only problem is when you have family that are trying to indoctrinate you, the moment you "go on your own path", they will try to crush you financially. It's better to convert at an older age when you're not relying on your parents for a roof over your head.

@@christophergibson7155 yes, " and all the animals came two by two" sounds like a fairy tale to me, I believe in science but you can let some paedophile tell you how to live
Oh wow, you’ve hit the big time! I’d love to listen to a conversation between you and Ray, I hope he’s brave enough to take you up on your offer (and wear the tshirt you send him lol!)
I want to thank you for your channel and your videos. They have helped me so much in my deconstruction journey. I started to question my beliefs when I read the Bible and saw how conditional God’s love is and started to questions his motives. All i got from the church were the same answers i hear you talk about. I wasted 3 years of my life in the evangelical church. I hurt alot more people with my religion than anything. I see that now. I almost ruined my relationship with my soulmate because i was told i cant be with a non christian or marry anyone again because i have been divorced. Like ive said alot, im done slitting my wrists for “Gods glory”. I was just a devoted and sincere as any one. I was an apologist and missionary for Calvary church. I had a testimony like everyone else. Just being a good person and going to church every Sunday was not enough for me. I went deep in my relationship with God and was so devoted. But when i started to question why i was putting myself through suffering because of “Gods glory” and what people in the church told me how i should be living my life. I came to the conclusion that God is either really cruel or that he isn’t real. I haven’t landed on if he is real or not. But i refuse to believe in the God of the Bible anymore. I hope to find a new community as my old family in the church starts to cut me off. Call me an apostate thats fine. I deserve to live my life and find happiness. If God’s glory requires my suffering then that’s really awful…
I’m really sorry you were told that. Gods glory doesn’t require suffering. We all have suffering in this life. That’s not because God wants it or needs that though. That’s horrible doctrine. I’m really sorry you were hurt by church. That’s really horrible what you went through.
If my deeds are dirty rags no matter how hard I try, what is even the point of trying?
I'm sayin
My thoughts exactly!
Love that intro! “Hello, friends and fellow heathens!” Sounds like a great intro going forward. 😁
As you mentioned how many subs Ray has, I looked and found you’re getting super close to 40K subs, @jezebelvibes. Well-done!

Congrats on the recognition! The way you hold yourself is so inspiring to me
Man, I wish I had heard you 35 years ago. I was raised in it, too. I church hopped trying to find "the real truth". I finally allowed myself to question the text about age 50, when I just happened to get access to the internet and all the resources available on it for research and found wonderful people like you telling their stories.
Note, Ray Comfort has always made me cringe.
Love your style. You welcome the haters and are still kind... Just honest. Using their own words to debunk the debunkers! Using the bible itself to debunk the bible. It's genius! You've given me confidence in my own beliefs and be comfortable with the unknown. People always want to *think* they know things that they dont. You've helped me rid my fear of hell... Keep going, Kristi! You're doing great work!
I agree.
"Using the bible itself to debunk the bible"
THAT'S FINE AND ALL,
But the bible doesn't need to be debunked in the first place.
The bible isn't god's word
and it's as simple as this..
Call the publisher that created the book and ask them if it's god's word.
they will say i'ts not
There you go, There's nothing more to debunk. The publisher that created it said it's not god's word
and as such , that point cannot be argued, since it's their book.
@@vadouis-rt3of
" Not a chance that what you wrote is true! "
BUT IT IS !!!
WHAT PART OF WHAT I SAID IS NOT TRUE ?
"No disrespect to your publisher or you, but I don't believe your story, such as it is."
NO NO.. FEEL FREE TO DISPRESPECT THE PUBLISHER IF YOU WISH, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEM.
They are not MY publisher either.
they are the publisher OF YOUR BIBLE
Now you don't believe the story, WHAT DON'T YOU BELIEVE ?
Let's go through this step by step
TELL ME WHICH STEP YOU ARE UNCLEAR ON
STEP 1 - Christians were saying the bible is the word of god
(Now if this were true, i would likely follow it)
So... Are you saying christians DO NOT say this
STEP 2 - I Decided to find out if the bible was the word of god .
THAT'S DEFINITELY TRUE, ... Or... Do you not believe that ?
STEP 3 - I Decided to found FIRST, if my bible that i was following was god's word
Do you not believe that ?
STEP 4 - I Decided to find out teh source, WHO CREATED IT .
That is 100% True, or.. Do you not believe that
STEP 5 - I found out who published the King James Version Holy Bible (Which was mine)
I called them and asked them "Did you create this bible" they said YES THEY DID, They actually said
("Yes, that's one of ours")
Do you not believe this ?
STEP 6 - I asked them "OK, IS THIS BIBLE THAT YOU CREATED , GOD'S LITERAL AND ACTUAL WORDS ?"
THEY ANSWERED : "NO IT'S NOT"
Do you not believe that
WHAT PART OF WHAT I SAID DO YOU NOT BELIEVE ?
What is there to not believe
Now you said there are hundreds of manuscripts,
OK.. CONSIDER THIS.....
LET'S SAY THERE ARE NOT HUNDREDS, LET'S SAY THERE ARE MILLIONS (Just for now ok)
MILLIONS OR NOT....
WHAT MATTERS IS THIS....
The bible that you and me and other people are following,
is OUR BIBLE the word of god, that's what matters
BECAUSE THAT IS THE WORD THAT YOU ARE READING ADN FOLLOWING
I don't know what tripping you up here.
I wanted to know if my bible was god's word
I ASKED THE PUBLISHER THAT CREATED IT FOR THE ANSWER Instead of listening to millions of people who can't agree on an answer
they said it's not
NOW.... YOU ARE CHOOSING TO NOT BELEIVE THAT,
OK
1. I mean, What ?? Do you think i'm lying ?
OK.... YOU CALL THEM THEN AND ASK THEM, I don't require you to believe me, Although what i'm saying is not really that way out there, if i said an ice cream truck just passed my house, would you believe that or would you tell me i'm bullshitting (Because there really is no way you can verify that)
However, You can verify my story, Call your own publisher and ask them
SO WHICH PART IS TRIPPING YOU UP
AS FOR .......... "NOT A CHANCE"
LOL
HOW.. Not a chance ?
I pick up the phone
i call them
i ask them
How is there NO CHANCE of that happenning ?
@@vadouis-rt3of
OK, LET ME START BY SAYING 2 THINGS
1. "Shall I continue with more proof that the King James Version of the Bible is the Word of God?"
-- There's no need to get stroppy, ok, WE ARE JUST TALKING .
2. Now, do you see what i'm doing below?
I'm ADDRESSING EACH QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE,
Now, i had an important question, and i asked you (and i put it in step form) to tell me where you were getting stuck and what part of what i did did you not believe?
You can't come out and say to someone , .. what you are saying.. NOT A CHANCE IS TRUE, and then walk away.
No.. so if you'd be so kind, PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION OK, I've answered yours in the last comment
and i will now answer all of yours here, ok
so.. I EXPECT YOU IN THE NEXT COMMENT TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION THAT I'M WAITING ON... OK.
Fair's fair
Now that aside, here we go
"Is the publisher of the King James Version a Bible Scholar?"
-- WELL.. Why don't you call them and ask them ? As for me , i didn't ask if they were scholars.
AS IT'S IRRELEVANT . Let me continue as to "WHY" in a lower question so i can kill 2 birds with one stone, ok
"How so?"
-- How so What ?
How are they are scholar,
Assuming they were, Why would you ask HOW SO ?
"Did I not go through the fact of different versions from different men, centuries apart and come up with the same words?"
-- YES YOU DID and you have written a lot here as well, AND
1. I APPRECIATE IT
2. AND YES I DID READ IT ALL
However, mate.. IT'S IRRELEVANT (now let me connect this with the above point ok)
Obviously all this information you have provided WOULD BE USEFUL... IF.....
We could not agree
and then you are trying to prove to me that i'm wrong.
IN THAT SITUATION..... Sure, we could debate it.
But it's irrelevant
- What you provide
- Whether they are a scholar
- or whatever
BECAUSE, The only thin of importance is this....
The bible that you have in your hand (or in this case, that i had in my hands)
The question is.... is THAT specific bible that the christian follows, The Word of god ?
THE WAY TO ESTABLISH THAT ABSOLUTELY IS TO ASK THE ONE THAT CREATED IT.
That would be the publisher
Now, let's ask again "Are they a scholar ?"
IT DOESN'T MATTER
They could be a bunch of uneducated homeless people for what it matters.
ALL THAT MATTERS IS 2 THINGS
1. Who Created the book
ANSWER : THEY DID
2. is it god's literal word
ANSWER : NO
Why
ANSWER : Because they said so, Because they created it.
So.. Not to discount all your references... But can you understand.....
All that matters is what they say because , they created it
"Now, what are the names of those publishers you mentioned and what is their claim to fame? Their education?"
-- OK, now i would have expected you to google this
See... WHAT ARE YOU WANTING TO DO ?
TO ASK ME FOR THE SOURCES
THEN TO HOLD ME TO MY WORD
THEN TO VERIFY IT ?
OK, BUT UNDERSTAND THIS
1. (Let's just talk KJV for now) The publisher that i called may not be the same one that distributes bibles in your part of the world
2. I CALLED Harper Collins Publishing
You can get the number here
www.harpercollins.com/pages/corporate-customer-service
In the U.S.A. it's
Thomas Nelson Publicity
You can get the number here
www.thomasnelson.com/about-us/publicity-contacts/
THIS TOOK 2 MINS TO GOOGLE,
Also... there is a reason why i tell people GOOGLE IT YOURSELVES
it's not to be a dick
IT'S BECAUSE,
1. YOU CAN'T TRUST ME
2. WHEN YOU DO IT YOURSELF YOU KNOW IT'S REAL
So. in the future, Do it yourself, ok THAT WAY IT MEANS MORE
As for
Claim to fame and Education
CLAIM TO FAME : They are the publishing company THAT PUBLISHES THE KING JAMES BIBLE
THEY ARE A MUTLI BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION (is that not enough fame ?)
As for Education
As if i'm going to ask them, What their education is...
IT'S NOT RELEVANT
what is relevant is
they wrote the book
so i asked them if it's god's word
Now.... had they said YES IT IS i may have grounds to question if they were lying.
But.. THEY SAID IT ISN'T
i ASKED AN ATTORNEY, WHY DID THEY ADMIT IT ?
HE SAID it was for legal reasons, Apparently we can all file a class action against them for misrepresentation
and damages to our life and psychology if they were TO MISREPRESENT.
He said,
1. They wouldn't do that, it'd cost too much
2. They know you're going to read the bible anyway, so there is no risk
THAT'S WHY MATE
so... THE PUBLISHER SAID SO, AND IT'S THEIR BOOK
so can you see, (no offense) How all your sources don't matter
I'll put it another way...
LET'S ASSUME ALL YOUR SOURCES ARE CORRECT
and the publisher is full of shit and ONLY the KJV is a lie
well, My question was.... IS THE BOOK THAT I HAVE THE WORD OF GOD
Even with your evidence THE ANSWER WOULD STILL BE NO IT'S NOT
Because it originated from them
NOW.... THEY DID SAY THIS
The method by how they decide what to put in THEIR bible is....
- They get other bibles
- They basically get the good bits and include that.
- They did say that none of those other bibles are god's word as well
NOW.. LET'S SAY THAT YOU CONTEST THIS
BUT... THE PUBLISHER THAT PUT THE BOOK TOGETHER STATES EXPLICITELY THAT IT IS NOT GOD'S WORD
YOU CAN'T ARGUE THAT
If it was and there were some sources that were god's word , Even in part
WHY WOULD THEY NOT HAVE TOLD ME ?
We had an approx 30min Conversation, No argument, and she told me how it's put together,
We discussed INSPIRED and where they get inspiration
but she did firmly say
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S ACTUALLY GOD'S WORD, .... NO I'TS NOT
so does that make sense ?
All that matters for a ruling is what the publisher says
Further to that, You can do the same for all other publishers
AND.... I DID
@@vadouis-rt3of
FIRST OF ALL
I ask you nicely didn't i ?
Can you please answer those question
1. AS I HAVE ANSWERED YOURS
2. AS A GESTURE OF GOOD FAITH I WENT AHEAD AND ANSWERED YOUR OTHER QUESTIONS
3. I Notice you have not answered my question ........ WHY IS THAT ?
Now... Because this is about Respect and you need to show, Since i have read EVERYTHING that you have written and considered it all
Before i answer your next questions, I would like you to answer my question that is outstanding AS I PUT IN TIME TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS
Until you do , I'm not going to answer your questions
Primarily because I'M NOT AN IDIOT
but also because, I VALUE MUTUAL RESPECT

I couldn't stop laughing after hearing that. Great question!
Well the Bible says the wages of sin is death. So... @rboland2173
God needed Jesus to die for his sins. It makes sense in a weird way. If God is a man made entity, it makes a lot of sense.

Love the way you explain things. You are amazing
So if God knows everything, then God already knows who's going to hell and who's going to heaven before he even created him or before he created the universe. Before he created Adam and Eve. So with this viewpoint, how could we all have free will at all if everything is already determined?
Ask a Christian that question and watch the incredible mental gymnastics that follow.
Do Atheists and Fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions respect and value the lives, dignities, and existence of the Creator and Jesus Christ?
ANSWER -
No,
all Atheists and fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions
are openly, freely, and willfully mocking and degrading the Creator and Jesus Christ as worthless and useless to them, no value whatsoever in their lives and existence
Atheists and fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions in the world KNOW
and are fully aware that all of them are -
1. NOT honoring and respecting the Creator as their loving, kind, and merciful God and Heavenly Father and
2. NOT honoring and respecting Jesus Christ as their loving, kind, and merciful Heavenly Master and King too
simply because
they are offended, angered, and can't accept -
1. what were written in Matthew 22: 37 and John 17: 3 that the Creator is the True and Sovereign God and
2. what's written in Matthew 28: 18 that Jesus Christ is the One given by the Creator all authority in heaven and on earth
Do Atheists and Fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions respect and value their own lives, dignities, and existence?
ANSWER -
No,
Atheists, Jehovah's Witnesses, SDAs, Mormons, Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, Born Again Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and fanatics of all kinds of Religions in the world
who proudly and willingly glorify Satan the Devil, the hater and mocker of the Creator and
freely and willingly believe the Unbiblical teachings of the haters and mockers of Jesus Christ
about "Armageddon", "Trinity", "heaven and hellfire", "rapture", and "reincarnation"
are
obviously the haters and mockers of the Creator and Jesus Christ on earth
who
don't respect and value their own lives, dignities, and existence....
not bothered at all and just don't care even if their hatred, mockeries, opposition, and defiance of the Creator's Sovereignty and his Christ's authority and teachings bring and cause their own dishonor, disgrace, downfall and ETERNAL DEATHS, just worthless and useless dusts on earth forever.
Who are the FOLLOWERS of JESUS CHRIST and what is the Creator's FAVOR and REWARD for them?
ANSWER -
Jesus Christ KNOWS
that all persons on earth who freely and willingly honor and obey him as their Heavenly Master and King and believe his teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead"
in their obedience to what were written in Matthew 28: 18, Luke 4: 43, and John 11: 25, 26
are
his kind and submissive Followers on earth
who
will be freely, happily, and willingly honored, favored, and rewarded by the loving, kind, and merciful Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death on a safe, secure, and peaceful earth without mockers and haters, without liars, deceivers, perverts, traitors, the immoral, and murderers as written in Revelation 21: 3, 4, 8.
What is the worth, value, and importance of the LIVES and EXISTENCE on earth of all WORSHIPPERS of the CREATOR?
ANSWER -
Followers of Jesus Christ KNOW
and are fully aware that all human beings have no immortal souls and will just become worthless and useless dusts on earth after their deaths just like the animals as written in Ecclesiastes 3: 19: 20 ; 9: 5, 6,
but
all worshippers of the Creator who died recently and thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Job, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Jesus Christ's disciples and followers, and many others will not remain as worthless and useless dusts on earth forever,
Instead,
in the Creator's right and proper time and as written in John 11: 25, 26,
Jesus Christ will freely, happily, and willingly RESURRECT them back to life so they can all happily and abundantly live and exist on earth forever as submissive and obedient subjects of the "KINGDOM of GOD"
and fully enjoy his and the Creator's eternal love, kindness, goodness, compassions, generosities, favors, and blessings for eternity under his loving and kind rulership, guidance, and protection as the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler of the heavens and the earth. as written in Revelation 11: 15.
We don't have true free will. True free will is to live the life that you want to live without threat of an eternal hell/punishment
Very logical; unfortunately logic and reason are alien concepts among the god squad.

Bananas, atheists' nightmare 😅
Demons, slugs, and snails can be repelled by salt, vampires by garlic, and, of course, atheists can be repelled by bananas or potassium supplements 😂
god failed to perform the miracle that we could have used in the sixties to keep the tasty type of bananas called 'gros michel'... somehow they had to change to the modern 'cavendish' variety which is not as tasty... god doesn't want the best for us... sad god...
A banana a day, keeps the atheist away
Just had one this morning. But feel fine, tho 😂😂😂😂
Ray Comfort's nightmare is that someone like Kristi will expose his fraud and lies.
I didn't know the banana was perfectly "designed" by God to fit the human hand. Strange, since the banana existed several million years before the first human species. At least Pastor Comfort has proven once and for all, that man is an ape and we evolved from a common ape-like ancestor.

@@maxspringer01 I have actually watched many of Ray's videos and yes, I agree, he puts great weight on ALL of the issues he raises; how else would we get the all repetitive "So what you're telling me is that you're a lying, thieving, fornicating, blaspheming, adulterer at heart" spiel? What I find very inappropriate though, is the pushing for further information on the issues of pornography and sex. His recent video 'Count The Demonic Hindrances In The Fight For His Soul', the young man being questioned admits that he has made poor choices and done bad things but Ray has to know more:
Ray: Are you doing things that are morally wrong in his (God's) eyes?
Nathan: Yer, trying to work on it though
Ray: Such as?
Nathan: Just bad choices
Ray: Oh no, it's more than that; not bad choices. When did you last look at pornography?
And there it is - EVERY time with the pornography. Nathan's bad choices could have been any number of things but nope - straight to the porn question. Nathan had answered his question the first time - there was no need for Ray to push him to elaborate. Let me be completely clear here - asking a total stranger if they look at porn, or how often they look at porn, or if they have sex outside of marriage, or if they have sexual fantasies, is ABSOLUTELY NONE OF RAY'S BUSINESS. Personally I find him very invasive in general; rocking up on a beach front with a camera man, a microphone and a whole lot of questions that end in one big guilt trip. Who is he to think he has the right to ask or to know the answers to any of these questions; especially the more intimate ones?!
@@christophergibson7155 NONE of the questions Ray wants answers for, from complete strangers, whether about sex or anything else, are ANY OF HIS BUSINESS! But to question people about whether they watch pornography or how often they look at pornography, or if they have sexual fantasies or if they have sex outside of marriage, is just inappropriate; plain and simple.
The way you look so genuinely happy reacting to this video is so hilarious to me 😂😂😂
I am a Christian and I found your videos... are very Reasonable ! Now I'm thinking about my religion again....
keep researching and read the bible in full
I just want to say that I hope whatever path you go down leads you to happiness and peace.
@@kristenmae6761 i started my deconversion 10 years ago. I'm happy about where I am today, however the only downside is I'm still surrounded by ignorant family and friends 😮💨
@@dadnonlyd3that’s me too, except for I started deconstructing recently. It’s been really hard. Very alienating. My immediate family and extended both are very strong Christian’s that hate anyone else who thinks differently than them. Safe to say I am avoiding telling them I’ve left their brainwashed cult behind me. Goodluck to you, we got this!!!
@@Linweezy yea I haven't outright told them either even after all this time. But with the way I talk about subjects like politics and philosophy, I think they're getting the hint lol. Good luck to you too.
I’m so glad you called this guy out for the “clickbaity” interview videos that he does. I remember in my Catholic school, we watched a video where he went out and interviewed people about abortion and he was praised by my teacher but this same guy has said many times that Catholicism isn’t the answer and that the pope is wrong yet in my school, we’re taught that Catholicism and conformation is the dominion that will lead to Heaven. It’s utterly crazy how contradictory a lot of these teachings are. Keep up the great work! Also, there is a terrible movie him and Living Waters Minister made on UA-cam about how homosexuality is a sin and as someone who is feeling confident that they’re gay, it’s pretty hilarious and I think there would be a lot of content you could make from it.
I’m also raised Catholic and I kinda hate when people think we just worship Mary and then think she’s the devil cuz she’s deceiving everyone or smth like that.

You mean the Catholic church is the best? Go ask the Altar Boys what they've endured in the hands of pedophile priests. "Suffer the little children come unto me."
I mean gay sex isn't natural at all. It's the same as anal sex (herterosexual )
@@ghostbowandenvysmithfanI mean yall do pray for marry XD
Kristi, Ray Comfort picked your video to critique because he knows that your message is a powerful one. He knows that your logic is making inroads with people that may be questioning their own religious faith. He is afraid that Christians may be losing the the "battle for souls." And this is a very terrifying thought to them. You are doing a great job!👍
Ray Crumbfort is afraid of losing his livelihood 'cause griftianity is dying fast.
He’s not even afraid for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel is still in control and will never be defeated. You can prove the power of the Almighty in this current war in Israel. You can reject the truth and walked away by the Truth will always stand regardless how many is following nd how many is falling away. The bible prophecy that in the latter days many will fall away from the faith. Lawlessness will increase and we see them all unfold today. Jesus true followers are only few. Keep that in mind. Christianity of course will slowly fade but Jesus true followers will never fall away why? because what has prophesied to happened will definitely 💯 fulfilled accordingly
In one aspect, I'm glad Ray is religious because his techniques to convince people are creepy if put into a sexual predator context. Stay religious Ray, but leave the creepy manipulative sweet talking about your abuser (god) out of it. Great video and articulation of your view points.
I try not to claim things about someone's intent as if it's obvious fact, since I can't know what somebody is thinking...
But Ray's street preaching really gives the impression that his kink is telling people how dirty and lustful they are every day.
“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”
― George Carlin
I am non-binary and have a rainbow flag. One of my neighbors decided to leave a Ray Comfort pamphlet telling me I’m going to hell because I’m gay…which I’m not. Ray is a liar for Christ. He seems to think liars go to hell UNLESS they’re lying for Christ. People like him seem to think the ends justify the lying for Jesus, while decrying liars and telling them they’re going to hell. I finally took down my rainbow flag when a 13 year old gave it the finger, realized I saw him do it, so he spat at me. Being told they’re doing this because they “love” us is the most insulting part
Flags are stupid anyway, you should do a bracelet or necklace that way bystanders will see them making any gestures at you and not the symbol
I saw a comment from a Woman that said She took a trip to Israel with Ray when she was a Believer, she even got a hug from him. She then said wonder what he'd say if he seen me today only to find out I'm Trans.
Leave a trespassing warning at theirs.
Christians believe any action...Moral or immoral...Legal or illegal...
Is fine and dandy IF theyre doin those actions in the name of their
evil wannabe god.
ETA
Just as long as they dont forget to use their "Get outta hell free" card by "repentin"
That sucks, I'm sorry. I'm also non binary and put up a rainbow flag for the first time this year, but I have been very lucky and not gotten any hate for it so far.
Although my neighbors are mostly elderly and religious, they're all nice people for the most part. The elderly couple across the street even had a Be Kind yard sign out this year.
This is despite the fact that I live in a very heavily conservative town. It seems that if they have any negative feelings about my rainbow flag, they kept it to themselves since I am a nice quiet neighbor that rescued a house on their block from sitting on the market for a while after the previous owner passed.
I wish others could follow that rule too, that if you don't have anything nice to say then mind your own business. 😊
His thumbnail tells you all you need to know. After all the emotional pain ive been through, deconstructing as a teen, to have some pastor guy point an arrow at you head and tell you point blank that youre wrong...that strikes me as just unspeakably mean. No compassion here, just denial and gaslighting.

Congrats on such a big milestone! Seriously, leaving behind anything abusive, and finding your way to a healthier life, can benefit massively (when possible for people to do safely) from confronting the people who had a substantial hand in perpetuating that situation, and I hope that this helps some with your own healing and progress in your deconversion. Keep up the good work!
I stopped commenting on videos years ago, but I was really wanting more of what you have to say. Please make some more videos. Thank you
I did a livestream about this yesterday. But we went too long and went off-topic at some point. I need to shorten and re-release the shorter version.
This was fun to talk about.
Ray is such a basic tool.
I'll have to check it out!
When I was a Christian, I was such a devotee that I once drove eight hours to a Living Waters event in Myrtle Beach. I have a picture of me and Ray, I was geeking out.
He literally says that God lets evil things happen without speaking up all the time, BUT he is never complicit! 🤔 Does he know what complicit means???
God said: "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, *and create evil:* I the LORD do all these things."
- Isaiah 45
@@Aurealeus Don't confuse EVIL as a thing. Just don't think darkness is a thing. Darkness is the absence of LIGHT. Evil is the absence of Good. God, by giving you free will to do Good or not do good (i.e. evil) - that is YOUR choice. As imperfect beings, we are all defective. The bottom line is that your choice will become YOUR DESTINY. You choose to have nothing to do with God, God will guarantee you will have it YOUR WAY.
@@rleon8183 I'm not confusing anything. Those are God's words, not mine.

Krist Burke is making waves in the Christian community. I love this for us ❤️ when I think of Ray Comfort (i had to look up who he was) i think of something my grandma says:
Hit dogs holler.
“Heathen’s & Friends” ☠️ she’s starting 😂😂❤
When they say, you never knew about god, all what I have to say is, I wish I never did.
Love this channel. You have made me think more about all of this. You make the most sense to me in what I have always felt.
If the old Testament God had looked at himself in the mirror he would have poured out wrathful judgement against himself and sent himself to hell.
Our morality is determined by how we behave - not what we call ourself or who we are. In fact how we behave DETERMINS who we are in a moral sense. The ultimate sense. This applies to any alleged deity as much as it does to any human being. Look at the way God sent ten plagues to Egypt - slaughtering and traumatising many many people who were not responsible for the Pharoah's stubbornness. Including first born children. How would you feel if that was one of your children? Would you then reject God and end up in hell? All God needed to have done was to freeze the movement of all the Egyptians so they were routed to the spot while the Israelites got away. The God of the Old Testament is not the same as the Jesus in John's Gospel. He is not uniquely good even by our "depraved" standards. Rather he is ultimate Dad. Sometimes gentle and nurturing but much of the time wrathful and vengeful. And sometimes genocidal. If you want to convert people to your line of thinking you need to explain why God's behaviour is morally acceptable - not just assume it is because he is God. People are sinners but they are not all fools. They may be filthy rags but they know - through human examples how self righteous tyrants behave. And they compare human tyrants to the old Testament God. Also it is silly to quote a book to the people you preach at that they do not believe in. You will just make them more stuck in their stubborn ungodly ways.
Since deconstructing from Christianity, I've realised how emotionally cruel Christians are. I hope you never doubt yourself and that you continue with these videos. It is liberating to realise that there are other people out there feeling and thinking the way I do, and realising that I am not crazy for not wanting to believe in the Biblical god anymore.
@@christophergibson7155
Fictional characters can only be cruel to other fictional characters.

By the mere fact that no one has proven otherwise. Jesus isn't even the characters actual name. That name was created approximately one thousand six hundred years after the bible using transliterations from multiple languages.

Thank you so much for the work you are doing! As a former christian now atheist who is stuck living in the bible belt of America, the No True Scotsman fallacy has been lumped on me more times than I can count, and disingenuous persons like Ray Comfort are on nearly every street corner. Because of you and those like you, I'm able to keep my sanity, answer the questions and accusations of apologists with patience and moderation, and not become the "Angry Atheist" that they want me to be SO BADLY. Keep up the good work!
I wish you could move away from the Nutter Belt...so bad for your sanity
I had a Christian tell me recently that the reason people suffer is because of their sin. And children suffer because of their parents' sin. I couldn't help but wonder what sin I had committed as I stood in front of her, providing her, as an immigrant, free interpreting services while I suffered from debilitating health issues. Oh the irony.
Animals are sinless so why do they suffer?
@@suicune2001 God didn't seem to care about that when he drowned all humans and animals alike.
@@LarsPallesen God really doesn't seem to care about a whole lot unless it's someone not worshipping him or following his silly rules.
I believe that the God of this Bible is either The fallen Angels & Lucifer making themselves our God and ruler, because they were supposed to have been cast down to earth and were never taken out of here, in fact I think that their being cast out of heaven was because they made man according to what image they wanted man to be. If you will notice there are 3 events where mankind was made in Genesis.
With love and respect, I like to say that we are sinners even though we sometimes unseen it, can we all be 100% genuine to the person we don't know, now another point is that we are carrying debts of our ancestors,
If my ancestors have debts to someone, I gotta pay it , it's not forgiven
In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve sinned by denying God's word, and as their predecessors we are carrying the sin,
We are sinners, can we love another human being whom we don't know or have any relationship and die for them, we divide ourselves, we put levels to us,
we give reasons and meanings to our morality, but think about it, without God there's no absolute morality,
Without God every thing is just an opinion and everyone is right
Me feeding an homeless people or hurting him is same because at the end we all are going to the fertilizer pit, there's no consequence
If we are related to animals, like why animals suffer they don't sin,
Come on now, our intellect and theirs are totally different,
If we go by the apex predator theory, and there's no one to judge me after my death and this is one life and that's it, then if I am physically, financially strong, I can persecute someone weaker than I am, I can bend the law with money
But I know that there's God and he will judge me, and I have consequences to face for my own moralities, I don't try to do things deliberately knowing that will or may lead to sin
And God do care about us, that's why He chose people to spread his words and through those words we could know him, but if we people killed his prophets, so many, that God chose to judge us,
You know we try to put God in a box
We think there's no creator, we are just an accident
My experience in life tells me that everything effect has reason and behind reason there's a complex intellect, a mind
Our order & design of a human body and consciousness do have a creator, it cannot be an accident
Like behind every painting there's a painter
Mankind was not made in Genesis more than once but was cleansed because mankind was doing ungodly things, unholy things, read the scripture skeptically
I too was an atheist but Lord saved me, I transformed myself in evidence and in faith.
One last thing, if you guys feel that something bad is happening to you or your loved ones, how can you say what is happening is bad, because it's just an accident, don't cry for the loved ones when they leave accept that one day everyone must die and move on
If there's bad, there's also good
God only can define the Good
Congratulations upon being noticed by an apologist with a million viewers. I appreciated how you pointed out how the word “good “ is used differently by apologists when they talk about god versus about when they talk about people. Ray does exactly what other apologists do-they do not actually listen to what atheists say. I am sorry to hear about how you used to put yourself down and that you were not a worthy person. Everyone is, in my opinion, worthy of value-even people who have different opinions than me.
"Does that make sense?" Ray asked.
No, Ray, nothing you say makes sense except to those with your same presups and faith because it's not logical.
_"Love me or burn."_ Not a good offer, Ray, it's just exortion.

I refuse to speak with Christians about the Bible anymore because they will always differ to their evangelist script. As a recovering Christian I am familiar with the way they avoid conversation that requires honesty outside of their religious scripts. Because if that I refuse to have dialouge with them.
@@triplejazzmusicisall1883 right!!! They can't or refuse to! It's insulting to talk to them.
I was having a conversation with someone the other day who, instead of responding to what I was actually saying and having a conversation with me, they simply preached. When called out they said “I preached and you didn’t listen”. It’s like the point slaps them directly in the face and they still don’t notice.
Just like that, Christianity bananabalized itself.
