      There's a lot of church "leaders" that are totally ignorant of their own professed religion. Then if a person asks them questions that they cant answer they get angry at being exposed as a lazy SOB who never took the time to study their Bible in any depth at all or study the Christian Apologetic's or the deep philosophical questions about God and life. Guess that is why Jesus condemned those in a church who's faith was lukewarm. People like you and I rejected Christianity and/or Jesus when we were young largely because of the hypocrites and poor leadership in most churches or when our parents cannot answer any tough questions about their own faith. I returned to the Christian faith after through my love of reading I found several Christian thinkers who could answer almost every question I had to my complete satisfaction. Hank Hanigraaff has a phone-in radio program called, "The Bible Answer Man" that tho not perfect (who is?)answered a lot of deep questions I had. Josh McDowell has several great books on the evidence for Jesus being the Messiah and the historical evidence for Christs Resurrection. I love debates between atheists and the top Christian thinkers. One of my favourites is Craig vs Zindler as the poll of the audience near the end is very indicative of who presented superior evidence and logical arguments. Another one is Professor John Lennox vs Richard Dawkins. Lennox calls Dawkins bluff and exposes Dawkins claim that Jesus likely never even existed, as an easily refuted denial of the mountain of evidence both within the Bible and from secular early historians. ( some even hostile towards the early Christians but who were honest enough to confirm that those Christians were willing to face torture and barbaric executions for their beliefs that Jesus was divine, did gr8 miracles, and that many of them witnessed the Risen Jesus) I've learned that we shouldn't reject mathematics because of bad math teachers nor should we reject a religion because of bad teachers. Sometimes we need to be the one who tries to find the answers to our own tough questions. Good luck doing that!

      Why would someone kick you out of anything relating to the church for asking questions? Legit question. I grew up in church, went to a Christian middle school, strayed from God, found my way back to Him but not without being lost for a long while, took several different classes in college on studies of different religions and studies of the new and old testament, and I asked so many questions through my entire life. I continue to ask questions and I am well into my 30s. I ask different preachers from different denominations all kinds of stuff. I have never been ousted or even spoken down to. Also, I live in the Bible Belt. Whoever did that to you should be ashamed of themselves

    • @alextorri76

      If OP is anything like me, then being asked questions means the person receiving the questions is about to have a bad time. I ask questions in a way that can be infuriating because it makes the person contradict themselves. When they realize that happens, they retreat and get mad.
      If someone is so adamant about me being in “their” religion, they need to be able to present answers without contradicting themselves. If there are contradictions, I will dismiss the possibility of joining said religion.

    • @MrAnimason
      @MrAnimason Рік тому +6

      @@alextorri76 A religious connection is something deeper than that. You feel it in your heart, the presence of God around you. If you need to find objective and non-contradictory answers from imperfect humans to convince you to "join" a religion, then I wouldn't recommend joining it, because you won't be part of it for long.
      Also, you don't "join" a religion. Maybe you join a religious institution, but religion is a philosophy and a code of life. No one says they "joined" capitalism, or they "joined" collectivism. It's just something they try to abide by.

    • @thesonnen447
      @thesonnen447 2 роки тому +3

      George Carlin wasn't asking logical questions. Atheist logicians even agree with that point.
      For example Carlin didn't even know that there is a principle that makes "magic" impossible but it is also the principle that makes the transfer of properties not possessed by the efficient cause into the effect, an impossibility.
      A lot of logicians here, seems Michael Ruse (atheist professor) was wrong when he claimed the average atheist is as well educated and justified in their beliefs as the average religious person.
      If only the father of logic himself Aristotle and of the scientific method himself Francis Bacon, were as logical as Carlin.
      Somebody correct Wikipedia & universities "Kurt Friedrich Gödel was a logician, mathematician, and philosopher. Considered along with Aristotle and Gottlob Frege to be one of the most significant logicians in history." It should be removed as the 3 of them were theists and deemed atheism to be indefensible due to the law of identity & excluded middle gatekeeping properties not present in effects from being passed down to effects.
      I need a refund from Oxford after reading UA-cam comments. I mean, people here aren't even aware that naturalism can only be had if the PPC isn't true.
      People get their medical/pandemic/financial information from UA-cam videos rather than academic study, it's no wonder the same is happening with the field of logic & metaphysics. UA-cam is better than a thesis you have to formulate and defend against the professor for sure.

    As I understand it L. Ron Hubbard started Scientology as a joke.
    He had a low view of the average person and believe anyone could start a religion, heck HE could start a religion.
    So he came up with this crazy outlandish religion with weird practices, an insane backstory and put it out there. It caught on and before too long it became it's own thing, self-sustaining and he no longer had control of the monster he created.
    He became just a figurehead.

    What he’s talking about is indoctrination. As a child, most people aren’t going to question the authority figures or people closest to them at that point in their life. That’s typically their parents. If mom says God made all of us and his son Jesus died for our sins, then by golly that’s what happened. Mommy wouldn’t lie to me about something like that. Most, if not all religions RELY on indoctrination to form that bond with young impressionable minds. It makes it that much harder for that child to even question it.
    I remember when my grandfather was on his death bed, my grandmother had a priest come bless him and his spirit. When he was done the priest came over to me, put his hand on my head and said, “You’re thinking of something right now, my son.” I looked at my mom then looked at the priest and said, “Humans have an average of 60,000 thoughts per day so you’re most likely right. However, I am not your son. You’re absolutely wrong about that.”
    I was 6 when that happened. I haven’t looked back at or needed any religion in my life before or since that happened and I’m doing just fine.

And it seems to be systemic, not just some bad apples like touching children (systemic problem in that case seems to be they don't admit/punish/ban them). If it really is systemic then it's definitely not OK, probably even dangerous.

      I (an atheist) would like to present you with some good faith discussions being had over on Professor Plink's channel. What he does is respond to (mainly) christians who present arguments in defence of religion. I think you would find mr. Plink's arguments very convincing. Unfortuantely, there are almost never any response videos to his counter arguments, most of the reason for that is because the christians making points in the first place aren't really trying to have a conversation. So you will have to come up with the defence points yourself if you wanna have any.

    I love Bill Burr so much for this bit….and so many others of course. I can relate to that feeling of like, “Yes, I want to connect with something greater than me and keep learning about it. But, why do I have to subscribe solely to the beliefs of one or two books or go to a specific location every weekend in order to make that connection or learn about my relationship with whatever that is?” Religious people think other people are crazy for having multiple beliefs. Spiritual people, on the other hand, don’t care what you believe as long as you’re at least not hurting the collective, and hopefully adding to it. Spiritual people majorly seem know: some people just aren’t ready yet to embrace the fact that we really know nothing, and a belief is just one of the first steps to truth. First we think or learn, then we decide what we believe, then we just know without having to believe, and finally, we just are. I don’t pray for others to find anything but what the universe needs them to see to just be a good person and pray they accept what gifts they’re given. Who am I to say what another person needs prayers for other than that? Just be and don’t be a jerk lol. Love you’re reactions, you just seem let a really genuine person. 💖🪶⭐🐺

I was afraid of punishment if I didn't pray to God. Eventually it was just too much of a bother, I didn't like going to Church because I wasn't feeling it, and I was missing my cartoons. Then I didn't feel like praying at night because I just wanted to go straight to sleep. On top of that annoyance, the story didn't make any sense and I didn't see prayer making any difference, so what's the point. I stopped praying and saw that nothing happened to me, I felt better and never went back. The older I got the more I realized about Religions in general and the less reason I have to believe it.

    My wife and I were looking to see who followed the Bible the most closely. I had come from several different religions. I grew up Catholic, then tried Methodist, Mormon, and Baptist. She was mainly Baptist. We found out Christians weren’t really honoring the Sabbath properly and then went to Messianic Jews. We then wondered why Jewish people didn’t accept Jesus, found out that their argument made a lot more sense and started to convert to Judaism. Then as we were really studying the Hebrew Scriptures, we figured out this was all BS. Too many contradictions and the whole God Character was just awful. We just let it go.

      I did the same thing, learned Hebrew, but didn't convert because the Jews don't follow Torah. I came across the Karaite Jews who follow Torah and not the rabbis. the bible isn't hard, people that don't want to follow it make it hard.

    This is literally exactly how my own leaving of religion was for me. I just drifted away. I spent my teenage years trying to ask questions and they assumed I was trying to troll or be "rebellious" and would shut me down, punish me somehow and sort of gave me a rep as a troublemaker which is hilarious because in the same sentence they would tell you all about how I was the sweetest kid around. Okay which is it? If the quality is "godly" you claim me as your own but shun me if the quality seems rebellious or individualistic? Kay. So when I got to college I just stopped going while I did my research. As soon as I learned about the actual history of the Bible as a book, done. I was done, how could I base my whole life and beliefs on a book we don't even have the original manuscript for? A book that was cut and pasted throughout the centuries by anyone really 🤷🏻‍♀️ a book that has been translated and re-translated to fit very specific narratives for literally thousands of years? Nah. It was enough for me 🤷🏻‍♀️

      May I point out the Bible is both a historical accounts of the Jewish people as well as a religious text. The different translations of the text are both cultural as well as religious in origin. Jewish text were appropriated by prominently Greek Christian believers then later translated to Roman Latin . With the advent of the printing press and with other technological and social revolutions of the age of enlightenment, the Bible was translated into many common languages for example English and German. This brought about further cultural interpretations of Biblical Scriptures. Each language used brought its own interpretation of concepts to Biblical texts. If you want to read the original Bible you would read the old testament in Hebrew and the new testament in Greek......ancient Greek, not modern Greek...relevance is cultural context

    The thing that is most interesting about Christianity is that it is still around. And most people when they are in terrible situations, life death,call on god for help. Our society literally is acting out what is written in the Bible. Since it was mass produced by the printing press, and is in everyone’s hands, you taught reading and writing for 500 years with it because it was everywhere. And those ideas in that book are how we try to live in the west Incredible .

    I abandoned Christianity decades ago because of the psychological turmoil I struggled with, and I felt that they only pretended to be my friends. I'm more of an agnostic that has aimed for honesty, breaking away from negative influences. I see everyone acting on their own self-interests and prejudices, that I pretty much don't like to be told how to think. I think it takes time to find our own truth and discover what it is that keeps us together, and the things to separate from.

    My dad was a preacher and I watched him choose and craft sermons every week. Great way to push someone away from the church. Money is low so we need to preach about sin so people will feel sorry for what they do and hope paying the church will make it better. Throw in some sat night shenanigans to appeal to more people, a pinch of coveting the neighbor's wife, a dash of stealing (make sure you talk about borrowing a neighbors mower and never giving it back since dude did that and I want my mower back, we can kinda associate that with stealing make people wonder if it is or isn't)...and then to find out he learned how to do all that at seminary school. On top of everything else, preaching about jesus forgiving and loving your wife and protecting your children, then coming home and beating all of us. Yeah, no way I was staying in that religion. And people I have talked to leave for various reasons, but many were hypocrisy, guilt, obvious attempts at mind control, and never really discussing the better parts, it's always about have bad you've been.

    As someone raised in a Christian culture without any religion in his home (during the 80s and 90s), I've always found *every* religion stupid. Baffled Christians implore me to explain how I can't possibly recognize the obvious truth of their religion, and seem unable to grasp how my mind works, but if I point out that I merely disbelieve in the same number of religions as them, plus one, they don't comprehend: "Yeah, but it's different - Christianity is CORRECT."
    They also can't comprehend how there actually isn't a giant sad void inside me or how I can go to bed at night and be able to sleep instead of being filled with existential dread.
    If you don't have a religious framework installed before you're too old to think for yourself, that's it - you're never going to be religious short of someone taking advantage of you after a major traumatic event.

Ephesians 6:5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.

    Studying the Bible…not just as scriptures, but as texts formed by authors, translations, and historical/cultural influences is a large part of why I left religion.
    Even just knowing that the Bible was written by the hand of man & that man is fallible opens the door to removing its “Word of God” status, which allows it to be questioned & critiqued.

    I became an atheist as a child. I still remember the moment, and so does my mom. She sat me down to tell me Santa Clause wasn't real before Christmas that year. After some questioning about Santa, I asked her "So does that mean Jesus isn't real?" She said no, but couldn't give me any answers to prove he was more real than Santa. I told her that I didn't believe her and that he was fake too. She was extremely religious, and hated it. I grew up knowing there was no God, so I didn't have all of these stressors that my friends who went to church did. Because I became atheist so young, and was surrounded by Christians, I don't hate on anyone for following a religion. I also don't care to try to convince anyone that God doesn't exist. It's my own personal thing.

    Well, my Father is a protestant priest and my Mother is an ex-junkie that had tried just about every old-school drug with the exception of krokodil - but she almost tried that too.
    As a kid I was forcefed biblical stories, church blessing and prayers. When I was small it was fine and even felt very warm praying before every meal and praying together before sleep.
    As a teenager I got rebellious and basically all of my friends were at most agnostic, mostly atheist and they talked about how bullshit religion truly seems to be.
    So, I confronted my parents and my Mother figured she would explain her own life, how she had seen an angel while overdosing on sniffing glue.
    From that experience she tried attending a few sermons here and there, trying to find some spirituality and met my Father - and they both hit it off.
    She always felt that God gave her a message at her absolute worst to seek aid, and found it in christianity and my father.
    After that I couldn't give a rats ass about my agnostic and atheist friends opinions on the matter - the church had saved my mother and my tolerance to all kinds of religions increased by a few thousand times since then.
    Spirituality is important, even if it is practically bogus to the extreme - prayer and such does give some sustenance to the mind. I myself am stuck as an agnostic, wishing I could be "ignorant" (if that's even right to say) enough to actually carry belief and find some peace too.

      I attended a loosely christian school growing up ages 8-11. Hymn and a prayer every day but not much more except Fridays when a local church guy came in and told us stories in the bible. Always been cynical and logic over emotion (if that counts). Even at that age they seemed so farfetched I couldn't believe it and then learning of all other religions I just couldn't believe one was correct or not mis translated over years the older I got. I've never feared death but I do wonder when i'm older (35 now) if like you say being ignorant or having faith I've had it put to me before would be a comfort and I have religious family members. We all know each others stances and just don't talk about it. I will never believe it but if it saves somebodies life like your mother or it makes people live a better life or provides some comfort then I'm all for it. I don't bash anybody's beliefs it just isn't for me.
