Or god will do it, some examples just real quick, church goers digest rat 🐀 poison. They all died. But God was supposed to protect them. Parents believe God will do it, and save there dying child 👧, didn’t take her to the doctor, because God will save her. She died. Well done 👍 God
@@kerrynicholls6683 and than when god doesn't do it they blame the people. You didn't believe enough. You didn't pray hard enough, you did contribute to your church enough so no, god won't help you.
@@skepticalstrom6247 There's no shame in saying you don't know something. Claiming absolute truth on the basis on personal belief is arrogance almost by definition. So yeah, it is way better.
Athiests can enjoy fantasy stories while understanding that they *are* fantasy. Matt Powell has his fantasy story, but he thinks it must be real. This distinction is beyond his abilities.
No. He is fully aware of his views and wrongdoings. What he ignores is intelligence and wisdom of others... as well as the burden of responsibility. What a baby.
@@skepticalstrom6247 Right, his nonsense only justifies his hatred towards gay people and "degenerate" (even though Matt Powell is the one with degenerate brain)
@@skepticalstrom6247 -lol! “Skeptical” Strom. What the fuck is wrong with adults enjoying cartoons and video games? And atheists “hiding behind an avatar, swearing like children” doesn’t make Matt any less childish or more correct. He’s still an absolute abrasive dipshit, regardless. You know what; tonight I’m gonna kill a robot dinosaur with a flaming arrow in the Forbidden West in your honor, buddy.
@@skepticalstrom6247 -yeah; because stereotyping entire groups of people and labelling them as “sinners,” and “degenerates” is totally the cornerstone of maturity. I wear your judgement of me as “childish” as a badge of honor. If you in any way aligned yourself with me, I would re-examine my life.
It’s amazing how he can present this when his entire life is based on his imaginary friend. And complain about how everyone that responds to him is well adjusted with additional interests outside kissing the ass of his perfectly benevolent dictator.
James, none of those groups hates gods. Atheists don't believe in fictional sky fairies, so hating them would be a waste of good emotions, and the other three groups you mention worship the sky daddies and mommies the Christian fiction W's based on. Satan is also fictional, so he doesn't really bother any of us either
It confuses me when someone like Matt says something like: "These people are believe in magic/have faith/like fictional worlds, which is dumb" without realizing that that is essentially their entire belief, but only consider it bad when someone else does it (or something similar)
Also, he shows a picture of Aron Ra, one of the least superstitious people I can think of. The entire base of the Christian religion is based on magic, which was used by a magic being to create the world & us hoomanz.
@@skepticalstrom6247 Well, even though they wouldn't say their belief is fictional, they do say things like "these people believe that everything popped out of nothing, guess they believe in magic then", as if it was something bad, without realizing that they believe everything came out of nowhere by magic, or something of the sort. Is that clearer?
It's called projection and they are masters at it. Might also call it blatant ignorance, but the point stands, they are actually the ones that are dumb.
That is a hallmark of Christianity, you're supposed to suffer in this life. Matt can't suffer in silence though, he has to go after anyone who has fun.
Sir Sic didn't get to this part of the video, but Matt uses the bible verse "When I became a man I put away childish things" to justify why they should have stopped enjoying this stuff. So it's not even that he thinks they can't enjoy this stuff, he thinks the bible tells him they can't. Like all of Matt's opinions, they're perfect copies of what the words not spirit of the bible said, or are just Kent Hovind's.
The sad part is what a competition that is with these people. After all that, I think the main reason he doesn't realize he's accusing atheists of doing exactly what he's doing is that while we don't believe Dragonball Z and Final Fantasy are real, we at least get joy from it (well, maybe not ALL of FF). And he can't get any joy from the actual fantasy he actually believes is real.
He's just another American using religion to boost his coffers and to elevate his narcissist character, he knows there's millions of dollars to be made from "indoctrinated since childhood" Americans who have never read the Bible and only know of the cherry picked parts which their preachers, pastors and parents have taught them, He's just another Talibangelical American, hiding behind the facade of religion so he can live a life of comfort at the expense of gullible people.
@@skepticalstrom6247 you seem upset and angry. do you need a safe space away from all the mean nasty atheists? maybe you can ask little Mattie Powell if Daddy Kent will let you come over.
@@skepticalstrom6247 you say that Sir Sic is a foul mouth atheist loser, can you provide evidence for that. Can you provide evidence that there is a God, I'm not referring to anything such as the look at the trees argument, the watchmaker fallacy, or the God of the gaps fallacy, I'm referring to verifiable testable evidence.
Do many athiests enjoy fantasy or superhero stories? Sure. Does Matty P believe in a childish fairy story? Absolutely! The difference between the two? Matty is afraid of anyone having fun. Enjoyment and imagination is against his religion, after all.
You have hit the point spot on. They do not like imagination or free thinking for that matter. Even imagining the limit of creationist thinking makes me feel claustrophobic.
Matt Powel thought that a prop photo from a dinosaurs vs cowboys film that involved Confederate soldiers posing around an obvious plastic pterosaur was real. The guy literally cannot tell the difference between the real world and nonsense
See, the things is, the people that have those "childish" posters etc. actually understand that it's fiction. Shame Matt doesn't understand that his great book and all the associated paraphernalia that goes along with it is just that...fiction.
If religious people could distinguish between reality and fantasy, there'd be no religion. That's not just some catchphrase or slogan, it's an actual _requirement._ Religion destroys their ability to distinguish between the two. That's why they think D&D teaches children how to summon demons and why the pokeymans will cause demonic possession. _They can't tell them apart._
@@cecilspurlockjr.9421 Religious leaders teach that faith (i.e. unquestioning belief) is a virtue and doubt (i.e. critical thinking) is a sin. They threaten people with eternal torture if they stop believing. How can people distinguish between fantasy and reality if they are forbidden to verify whether a claim is actually true?
@@wizardsuth no they don't.. Well , what do you mean unquestioned ? I'm a Christian teacher and I don't tell anyone to have faith in anything they don't have evidence for... These accusations of yours are evidently assumptions from your ideological paradigm you been indoctrinated with called atheism.. Now that's a religion that takes blind faith for sure.. I don't have enough blind faith to be an atheist like yourself..
Being called childish by a disingenuous liar who lives with a convicted felon and has a giant inflatable banana named Doctor Peel in his backyard, makes me feel way less bad about all the hours I've spent playing Skyrim and watching Cowboy Bebop. And, is it just me, or does Matty P, the world's oldest 5 year old, look like the kind of lackwit who thinks he was great at hide and seek as a kid because no one found him, but has no clue that no one actually wanted to look for him in the first place?
No matter how old I get, I will always enjoy _The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends_ reruns. "Wanna see me pull a rabbit out of a hat?... GRRRRR... Ooops, wrong hat." Gets me every time!
I seen the notification and my first thought was "Ohhh a new sir sic video Awsome." Then I noticed the thumbnail and my second thought was "ugh matt powell." Even tho its matt powell i'll still watch or listen too any sir sic video.
@@SirSicCrusader Either that or someone slipped some speed in your whiskey 😉 But honestly, I really appreciate the more animated videos of late. Thanks Mrs Sic! 👍
Funny how Matt can identify all the characters on those posters. His boss plays with a sponge Bob squarepants doll yet we are immature. A little bit of projection going on.
Projection seems to be the default for most extremists, at least online ones. I think it may be deliberate sometimes: trying to prime observers to think anyone who brings those topics up is just going "no, you do that!"
Sanytram1 and ironically evolutionists make fun of Kent for using Spongebob in his shows and yet they make the stupid claim that sponges were our ancestors. Hypocrite much.
Like the Proud outspoken Fundamentalist Christian who was on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'. Somehow he knew which South Park character wore what. I had watched South Park, and I couldn't have answered it. Bet that Fundamentalist Christian would have known the names of Porn Actors.
@James Henry Smith Would this be a devil- type Satan or an accuser- type satan you're claiming? Either way, your version seems to be working directly for your main god. Hypothetically granting what you've said as entirely correct, this plan would only confirm that your god is not a good person: having people killed for not liking the perspective of you in your book is... not a nice thing to do.
"You're so childish! Even though I keep telling you he's real you don't believe in my invisible friend who can do everything he wants but never interacts with anyone but meee-eeee! Waaaaaaah!". Yep. We're the childish ones. Sure.
It just makes me chuckle that, according to Matt Powell, anyone who has interests in fantasy and games and anime and stuff live in fantasy land. Whether they are atheists, other religions, or his peers in the pews. Which basically just means he's a boring person and is insecure with other people appreciating the imagination of others
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Aristotle. But since Matt Powell is as dumb as a bag of rocks, He can't grasp how anyone can enjoy fantasy etc. without believing it's real. I've run across something similar, with someone expressing confusion over the fact that I enjoy science fiction, but don't believe that UFO's are alien spacecraft.
You know something? I've grown up with a Baptist Christian babysitter, super passionate about her beliefs. When I was 14, I had a mythology phase, and I had to constantly remind her I didn't actually believe in or worship the Greek gods.
@James Henry Smith *Sigh*...okay, look. I'll try to be as nice as possible; you're entitled to your religious beliefs, whether or not I agree with them. However, that's not going to stop me from expressing my issues with your little statement here. Speaking as an atheist, I don't "hate" God. I just see little reason to believe He exists, or at least to believe any contemporary religion is 100% true, especially given that many express outdated moral standards and clash with our current scientific knowledge. Religion is also a bit of a traumatic area for me. I grew up with a Baptist babysitter who taught me her beliefs, and while she had good intentions, her words turned me into a nervous wreck. I couldn't convince myself I had a chance of getting into heaven and thought simply consuming secular media would doom me to an eternity in hell. I'm glad I was able to find a way out of it. Of course, this doesn't mean I hate God. Religion just isn't for me...and, to be honest, the way I see it, if there really DOES exist a kind, loving god, surely he'd rather I live a happy secular life than an unhappy religious one. As for pagans, idolaters, and Wiccans, I doubt they "hate" God either. Most likely, they grew up in communities that share their beliefs, which they were taught from childhood, much like most Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Some of them may not have heard of the Bible or the Abrahamic God, or they may just prefer the religion they practice. Doesn't mean they hate God. Then there's your statement about God sending Satan to crush these people's heads. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't God and Satan supposed to be opposing forces? Why would they work together? I'd also complain about your implying God is willing to do His beloved children in if it wasn't for the numerous accounts of God-commanded genocide in the Bible- which, if you ask me, clashes with the notion of Him being a benevolent god. That's all I have to say. Bye.
@James Henry Smith We are actually past due by over 1900 years. But you keep holding in for your imaginary savior who has already abandoned you based on his own supposed promises. I will carry on living in the real world, including enjoying all sorts of imaginary worlds created by great writers, artists, and film makers without you. At least I know reality from fiction.
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C. S. Lewis It's funny how Matt and Kent are so contemptuous of fantasy and the use of imagination in general, when the aforementioned author and Christian apologist wrote one of the most popular children's fantasy series of all time.
Matt claims that "When I became a man I put away childish things" was from the bible. So he was openly lying. Or did C. S. Lewis, who was a devote Christian, just use the same wording as the passage to make a far better point?
@@Johnboy33545 Actually turns out it was from the Bible. Lewis was just using it in the way the Bible meant it. IE not to be so close minded and judgemental.
I'm so glad someone like Matt can come along to tell me what I think. He clearly knows what I think better than I know my own mind. He is so wise, he understands that adults engaged in things like video games can't tell the difference between games and reality. And that his wholly unproven (even disproven in many cases) holy book of stories is totally reality because he says so. Thank you, Matt!!! (In case anyone missed it, that was sarcasm)
@@skepticusmaximus184 -- nicely done. I just bear in mind this is social media. And not everyone will get it. So the caveat prevents possible future nonsense.
@James Henry Smith -- not sure if you're joking or not. Not sure who you refer to when you say "idolaters" but atheists don't believe in gods. So they don't have any reason to hate whichever one you may believe exists. Any Wiccans I've run across have their own gods, and don't really bother with whatever one you may believe exists, let alone waste energy hating it. So the only people God has sent Satan to manage any head-crushing upon are the believers in God who may hate him for some reason. Or, really, even the ones who don't based on all the stories I've heard believers say they experience at the hands of Satan and his minions.
@James Henry Smith Having a nice little sadomasochistic wank session there James? What a deplorable and evil imaginary friend you have there. If that kind of hate filled violence is such a turn on for you, I suggest you go get professional help. Meanwhile if you think atheists hate God, then they couldn't actually be atheists. You can't hate something if you are unconvinced it even exists. I could hate the concept of your God, and even have grave concerns about the people who fantasise about gods vengeful wrath. Truth is, it's YOU who want to crush the heads of those who don't believe what you believe. It's YOUR sick little fantasy and God is a mental projection of YOUR hatred, bigotry and violent rage. You can easily pretend a god exists and wants to fulfil your evil fantasy all you like, but it only serves to demonstrate how evil this God is and since you worship this sadomasochistic barbarian of a God, you are just as nasty and evil.
The fantasy argument was spot-on. Media has replaced the role of religion in many lives. It doesn't matter whether you believe fictional characters, or biblical stories are real or not, it's the significance the information has on your life that is important.
@@Rooster_Ric So you think atheists worship fictional books/movies/games? In order to replace something the thing should be of the same category. Are you telling me that modern media is the same category as religion? When I read a fiction book I understand that it is not true. Are you telling me the Bible is the same? That’s the only way how a fiction book could replace it…
@James Henry Smith So what you’re saying is Satan works for God? I knew it! So you admit that Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit was a setup by God?

I love how Rat Scowl insinuates that atheists are miserable. I was raised Catholic and then became an evangelical Christian at 18 and I was until 3 years ago when I turned 45. I have never been as happy or stress free as I am now as an atheist. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I have so much more clarity and peace of mind.
Imagine having fond memories of your childhood and the things that entertained you. Imagine watching a kid's movie with your kids and telling yourself you're not allowed to enjoy it because it is for children. Imagine thinking that everyone can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, just because you can't.
"Atheists are childish" I'm sorry, remind me which one of us has the magic imaginary friend who's totally more powerful than any other imaginary friend? And which one of us expects anyone else to not only give a shit about said imaginary friend but expects other people to recognize them as real?
Why is that once you become an "adult" you have to drop any interests and hobbies you had and just become a sad, husk of your former self? EDIT: Nothing like Matt misusing air quotes 😭
Gotta hand it to ya, Sic. I can't even handle listening to Powell in the clips right here, but you listen to the whole thing, probably several times over. Mrs. Sic is totally killing the animations, BTW. She fun. ^_^
I student in my tutor group had spent a term in another school. I ask her how it was. "Oh it was a catholic school! They made me sit in RE lessons and read the bible to us. When I pointed out an inconstancy or asked questions the teacher just ignored me. It's science all the way for me, sir". I mention this because this student is 13 and a massive fan of 'Avatar - The last Air Bender' and was because of her telling me about it that I knew what you were talking about it when it was mentioned. The thought of this 13 YO kid completely derailing some RE teachers lesson made me grin. Sometime I love my job :)
I went to Catholic great school and high school. In high school, there were many religion tests where I had to change the questions in order to answer them.
@@Julmaa87 Nah thats not indoctornation just education according to alot of people when you bring this up But putting the pride flag in a classroom and never teaching about what it represents, oh yeah THATS indoctorniation appearntly.

Thank you Sir Sic. Usually watching anything with Mr Peel loving mat makes me feel like I've been swimming through a swamp of vomit and shit and wish to scrub myself with sandpaper for a week. But you make it so I'm just a little sick in my mouth. Thank you.
Matt Powell has just moved in with his new daddy figure, and his best friend is an inflatable banana. I don't think he's in a position to call other people 'childish'.
I’m 56 and I’m still a gamer. I love cartoons, anime, and fantasy/magic/sword and sorcery novels. What the hell is wrong with that? Better than believing in an imaginary sky daddy who made the world 6000 years ago…
I have only REALITY based wall art!! In the master bedroom I've got framed paintings of a toilet eye view of my bathroom wall and sink, messy bathroom.. In our foyer, I've relief portraits of the muddy part of my driveway. In my living room I've many works wall mounted of my garage.. before cleaning it. My favorite is in my den, an off center picture of my least favorite "junk drawer" after the third time it fell out onto the floor. Over the mantle is a portrait of our family at dinner, with 6 of 8 people missing and too much mail piled up on one end. Pure class is me!
Ah yes the best kind of argument and discussion. The kind that starts with one side *immediately* belittling the other. Nothing makes me want to dismiss an idea faster.
Calling something 'juvenile' is something only (older) kids do. (wannabe adults, blissfully unaware of the horrors to come) Once a person has internalized their 'adultness,' "that's childish" fades off. Becoming "that's what some person likes."
Or as Christian apologist C.S. Lewis said: “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” I guess this sort of 'Christian' doesn't even honor C.S. Lewis any more.
someday Matty P will have been there too. You know, after puberty, and high school. On a serious note, I kind of feel for the guy. This seems like grade A projection. I can not help but think I would feel like a man baby if I was in his skin. I am not saying it would be justification for me to be a giant douche nozzle. Just that I can kind of empathize. Fuck, I must not be drunk enough.
I’d rather be a “childish” atheïst who enjoys videogames, cartoons etc then being a judgemental baby who is mad at everyone because he lost his pacifier.
@@skepticalstrom6247 Of course you wouldn’t think that the thing you believe in is imaginary. Doesn’t mean that isn’t the case. Prove your friend even exists. We’ll wait.

I've seen so many creators cover this video... If this was anyone but Sir Sic I wouldn't do the watching. But it is so I'll watch it once again, I hope you realise the pain I'm willing to endure for Sir Sic
Well yes, I am childish. For example, whenever I see I dog I have to boop it's snoot. Or when I need tongs in the kitchen, I just have to clap them a few times before use. Or that I giggle when someone makes a fart joke. I still don't see how any of that is related to me being an athiest.
Having fun is a sin. It violates the zeroth commandment. "Thou shalt not boop thine doggy noses nor shalt thou express joy at the flatulence of others". Its not in the bible because moses attributed it to breathing in too many weird fumes from the burning bush but apparently that was the commandment before the commandment
You’re wrong! The monkeys were actually riding jetskis while drinking Mountain Dew, eating Doritos, watching toon, and playing final fantasy on a super dragon cube 64 station.
In my experience, most fans of RPG either video games or board games like Dungeons and Dragons are atheists. They understand that there's no such thing as the supernatural, and so then when they play, they want to escape to a world where things like the supernatural exist.
This dude, Mr. Matt-Matt, never fails to make me look at my screen like a dog that heard a squeaky toy. His life must be so dull, completely lacking in color and fun. 😴
That you Matt Powell for giving us a Text Book example of an "ad hominem" argument. I doubt i could have made one up myself that so clearly described how the fallacy is used.
@@skepticalstrom6247 true. But he didn't say it was specifically because they watched anime. He said it was because they were childish. They enjoyed immature things, and anime was one of them.
Think I've said this before, but I love that cartoon where 4 goat herders and their wives, who hadn't built anything bigger than a shed, constructed a vessel big enough to house 17.5 million animals and their provisions for a year. Because 100 billion cubic miles of water had appeared then disappeared killing everything on the planet. And this only happened 4500 years ago and left no physical trace whatsoever. Then those goat herds got busy, shagging each other so much (including incest as a mathematical necessity) to beget millions of workers to build the pyramids 150 years later. THEN the Kangaroos swam all the way to Australia 🤪.
My favourite part of this video is the tag of #creaionism. I thought "hey sic, that's a typo there." But then I was like, "oh, it's Matt Powell, nah, you're right sic, he gets no T."
Sorry Matt if we have hobbies, or had a happy childhood. Also sorry if we can make the difference between fantasy and reality, and have stopped believing in Santa.
Powell talking about how athiests are stuck in perpetual childhood for having actions figures. Me: a theist with a William Shakespeare action figure on my shelf.
Back when I believed what Matt Powell believes, I still like video games and comics. I was proud of it too. My dad who is a preacher played video games with me and my siblings. If I were him I would check myself before my self. Not he'll ever do that.
I love how Matt, in order to further poison the well, either picked screen shots from videos filmed with potatoes, or edited them to LOOK like they were filmed on potatoes, and then kept jumping back to his perfect, pristine camera. He tried to make all of them look as pixelated, and sweaty, and unattractive as possible. He even reduced Aron Ra down to 1 megapixel. I'm beginning to think that Powell is engaging in some 1. Cherry picking (Oh, he NEVER does that!), and 2. Some shifty editing, because each of those UA-camrs have FAR better cameras and setups than how he portrays them. This shows that Matt is running out of ideas for content. This time, it's all about poisoning the well in the most childish, and deceptive way. Then again, poisoning the well, and portraying atheists as the worst people in the universe by creating complete strawmen, as well as strawmanning what they believe as well, is his shtick. And you know damn well that, given his age, Matt damn well plays video games, and watches "Toonit Network", and does all that other crap that he accused the Atheists of doing, while claiming that they were horrible for doing so. I have a serious problem believing that Matt doesn't indulge in this stuff. Then again, the audience he's playing to are mostly grumpy, old, fundamentalist Christians, who are generations older than him. He's making his money by conning old people.
I put his question in several UA-cam vid comment sections, on Matt's and on Kent's... [quote] "How does your God feel about the fact that you are lying about him?" [endquote] They still has to answer this question.
DOROHEDORO LOVE RIGHT HERE! I literally just found this creator and just been soaking in the fun insults to near insane over confident speech of those divorced from consequence, didn't think to hear about Dorohedoro here... Awesome. My life is good, keep up the fun work.
Man, Mat Powell is still number two for the land speed record of number of idiotic fallacies that can pour out of one vapid mouth hole. Of course number one is his hostage tak- I mean cult lea- I mean.... mentor Kent Hovind.
Just reasserts the fact that he's projecting because, as an atheist, I don't need a father figure to live life daily, while he clearly does. I do miss my dad tho.
I've said this on some other videos about this video of Matt's, but I'll say it here as well. The irony of Matt making this video is hilarious. He's essentially saying that his make believe super hero fantasy is cooler than all the others, and he doesn't even realize that's what he's saying. Or maybe he does realize it but thinks everyone else is too stupid to pick up on it, which says a whole different thing about him.
A perfect example is my little pony friendship is magic A show that even the creator said wasn't just for kids. IT WENT ON TO CREATE A FANBASE THAT IS FREAKING HUGE AND MOSTLY ADULTS! IT RAN FOR 9 YEARS AND IS REFERENCED IN NUMEROUS OTHER SHOWS AS WELL
@@SirSicCrusader well it also helps when you have epic boss fights on par with dbz and a voice cast that has voiced in anime and other popular media lol
@@pvtread5207 Eh, fair enough I suppose. Although in this case, I'm thinking more of a tween sort of age. Obveously, I dont really expect content for toddlers to have much for adults, but at that point it doesnt really matter. The point is that entertainment for kids should respect their intelligence and try to teach them something, hense why its still entertaining for adults.
First if all I'm 71 and I have been an atheist since I was about 8. I have many interests, I sometimes play video games on the gaming computer that I built. I have worked as a toolmaker my whole life, I do woodworking as a hobby, I enjoy some cartoons such as "The Simpsons" and "Rick and Morty" I grew up on "Mad" magazine and building model kits. These things still interest me, but no one who knows me would consider me childish. I would submit that believing in a magical wizard in the sky that exists beyond the laws of nature, and can create organized matter including living organisms through the act of just making it so, just seems the ultimate childish belief. The concept of eternal life in paradise after you die seems to me to be the inevitable result of humans being the only animals to understand that one day, inevitably they will die. Religious dogma, that you have to endure a miserable existence here on Earth but you will recieve your reward in heaven is suspect, especially considering that this concept is forwarded by a priest class for whom you labour to enable a life of leisure and plenty.
What was Matt's point at 7:08 (in this video) of even showing that clip and his subsequent response? It would seem he was either making the point that, "She's right. This is the real me!" or was attempting to say she is wrong and miserably failing to do so. In which case it would seem his point was, "She's wrong. I am a complete phony!" Am I missing something here?
I wouldnt let a child watch Drawn Together, frankly adults shouldnt either, or people with allergies to bad jokes and shit like that, but i cant tell you what to do. I just looked up clueless hypocrisy and it was just a picture of matt powell.
I'm surprised you didn't mention this angle: This video represents Matt almost giving the game away. Creationists are always desperately seeking respectability. Science affirming UA-camrs are destroying creationist arguments with posters and action figures in the background, while Matt sits in a blue void with comically overdramatic music playing, spewing slightly more verbose versions of grade school insults.
So, let me see if I got this right... A magical, all powerful being exists, when there is absolutely nothing else, and no one else... Apparently, said magic man gets bored, and creates everything out of said nothing... Please, tell me how this is more plausible than the big bang theory?
@@skepticalstrom6247 Please prove matter can't create itself, boy. Then prove something OUTSIDE space and time can. Then prove that thing is YOUR god. Oh, what's that, frankie, you can't?
I guess Matt has never heard of nostalgia. His Christian childhood must have been so boring that he doesn't even have any fond memories of it. How sad.
10:00 if I recall I think there was an actual study done on the atheism and happiness thing. What they found was that religion, through the regular meeting of social groups, did get a boost in happiness from that. Don't remember how much and of course it doesn't matter which religion but still. I think even atheist churches get that same benefit so it's not like it's religion specifically of course.
The overblown "atheists are immature, we're the real adults" thing is... well, it's interesting. You can definitely see the kind of persona these types of people are trying to project. It doesn't strike me as a cop-out, at least not in its intent. Remember that Matt (and many other YECs) don't think they have to prove anything; they think they've already won and are debating against idiots. The pigeon has kicked all of the pieces onto the floor, shat on the chess board, and is now bragging about being too "mature" to play a board game.
For some reason I don't feel so confident Matt Powell should should be making that statement saying as he thinks that Confederate soldier shot down a paradaptal.
Atheists are childish... because the mark of a mature adult is to offer 'God did it' as an explanation for everything.
Gotcha.
yeah seems legit
That or the devil. Or did they stop using the devil all together in these things.
Or god will do it, some examples just real quick, church goers digest rat 🐀 poison. They all died. But God was supposed to protect them. Parents believe God will do it, and save there dying child 👧, didn’t take her to the doctor, because God will save her. She died. Well done 👍 God
@@kerrynicholls6683 and than when god doesn't do it they blame the people. You didn't believe enough. You didn't pray hard enough, you did contribute to your church enough so no, god won't help you.
@@skepticalstrom6247 There's no shame in saying you don't know something.
Claiming absolute truth on the basis on personal belief is arrogance almost by definition.
So yeah, it is way better.
Athiests can enjoy fantasy stories while understanding that they *are* fantasy. Matt Powell has his fantasy story, but he thinks it must be real. This distinction is beyond his abilities.
many things are
@@SirSicCrusader I thought your purpose was to spread the Gospel of Whiskey!
It's not hard for something to be beyond matt's abilities though
Oh, I just realized... If he believes his fantasy must be real, does that mean Matt Powell is one of those... Trekkies?
No. He is fully aware of his views and wrongdoings. What he ignores is intelligence and wisdom of others... as well as the burden of responsibility. What a baby.
"I'm not childish, you're childish!!!" -Matt Powell

The irony of Matt Powell looking down at people that like, and not necessarily live in, a fantasy world is astounding.
self awareness is for the weak
It’s amazing how he can present this when his entire life is based on his imaginary friend.
And complain about how everyone that responds to him is well adjusted with additional interests outside kissing the ass of his perfectly benevolent dictator.
James, none of those groups hates gods.
Atheists don't believe in fictional sky fairies, so hating them would be a waste of good emotions, and the other three groups you mention worship the sky daddies and mommies the Christian fiction W's based on.
Satan is also fictional, so he doesn't really bother any of us either
It is amusing you began your comment with "In reality" however.
That always makes us chuckle
Zero self awareness.. ZERO! 😄🤦🏻♀️
It confuses me when someone like Matt says something like: "These people are believe in magic/have faith/like fictional worlds, which is dumb" without realizing that that is essentially their entire belief, but only consider it bad when someone else does it (or something similar)
Its because he has ZERO self awareness
Also, he shows a picture of Aron Ra, one of the least superstitious people I can think of.
The entire base of the Christian religion is based on magic, which was used by a magic being to create the world & us hoomanz.
the difference is people playing final fantasy know it's not real. LOL!
@@skepticalstrom6247 Well, even though they wouldn't say their belief is fictional, they do say things like "these people believe that everything popped out of nothing, guess they believe in magic then", as if it was something bad, without realizing that they believe everything came out of nowhere by magic, or something of the sort.
Is that clearer?
It's called projection and they are masters at it. Might also call it blatant ignorance, but the point stands, they are actually the ones that are dumb.
Matt Powell always seems so joyless, like his faith has taken every iota of his happiness.
Fun is for SATAN
@@SirSicCrusader HAIL SATAN!!!
That is a hallmark of Christianity, you're supposed to suffer in this life. Matt can't suffer in silence though, he has to go after anyone who has fun.
Sir Sic didn't get to this part of the video, but Matt uses the bible verse "When I became a man I put away childish things" to justify why they should have stopped enjoying this stuff. So it's not even that he thinks they can't enjoy this stuff, he thinks the bible tells him they can't. Like all of Matt's opinions, they're perfect copies of what the words not spirit of the bible said, or are just Kent Hovind's.
@@skepticalstrom6247 Well there is no such thing as a spirit to have peace, Frankie.
Matt is literally the least self aware person that exists
The sad part is what a competition that is with these people. After all that, I think the main reason he doesn't realize he's accusing atheists of doing exactly what he's doing is that while we don't believe Dragonball Z and Final Fantasy are real, we at least get joy from it (well, maybe not ALL of FF). And he can't get any joy from the actual fantasy he actually believes is real.
@James Henry Smith rofl either a bad troll or someone as dumb as Matt either way thanks for the laugh
Matt Powell: He's a perfect example of "You can't fix stupid."
He's just another American using religion to boost his coffers and to elevate his narcissist character, he knows there's millions of dollars to be made from "indoctrinated since childhood" Americans who have never read the Bible and only know of the cherry picked parts which their preachers, pastors and parents have taught them, He's just another Talibangelical American, hiding behind the facade of religion so he can live a life of comfort at the expense of gullible people.
Well, actually, you can fix stupid, but they have to want it.
A hammer is fairly effective. At the very least it quiets it till they awake. Best case they twitch a little and no more stupid
We aren't allowed to spay stupid either.... Sad face.

@@SirSicCrusader Yes, I have a complete inability to distinguish between fact & fiction. Much like most Xtians.
You have hit the point spot on. They do not like imagination or free thinking for that matter. Even imagining the limit of creationist thinking makes me feel claustrophobic.
Matt Powel thought that a prop photo from a dinosaurs vs cowboys film that involved Confederate soldiers posing around an obvious plastic pterosaur was real. The guy literally cannot tell the difference between the real world and nonsense
@@kingsadvisor18 It's even worse than that; the actors were playing Union soldiers & Matty couldn't even get that part right!
See, the things is, the people that have those "childish" posters etc. actually understand that it's fiction. Shame Matt doesn't understand that his great book and all the associated paraphernalia that goes along with it is just that...fiction.
amtt doesnt do understanding things
If religious people could distinguish between reality and fantasy, there'd be no religion. That's not just some catchphrase or slogan, it's an actual _requirement._ Religion destroys their ability to distinguish between the two. That's why they think D&D teaches children how to summon demons and why the pokeymans will cause demonic possession. _They can't tell them apart._
@@EdwardHowton you have a blatant disconnect with reality.. Everything you just said is a blanket lie..
@@cecilspurlockjr.9421 Religious leaders teach that faith (i.e. unquestioning belief) is a virtue and doubt (i.e. critical thinking) is a sin. They threaten people with eternal torture if they stop believing. How can people distinguish between fantasy and reality if they are forbidden to verify whether a claim is actually true?
@@wizardsuth no they don't.. Well , what do you mean unquestioned ? I'm a Christian teacher and I don't tell anyone to have faith in anything they don't have evidence for...

I don't have enough blind faith to be an atheist like yourself..
Being called childish by a disingenuous liar who lives with a convicted felon and has a giant inflatable banana named Doctor Peel in his backyard, makes me feel way less bad about all the hours I've spent playing Skyrim and watching Cowboy Bebop.
And, is it just me, or does Matty P, the world's oldest 5 year old, look like the kind of lackwit who thinks he was great at hide and seek as a kid because no one found him, but has no clue that no one actually wanted to look for him in the first place?
The homosexual cohabitation of Matt Powell and Prísoner #867something is only shameful for their unwillingness to be open about it.

Funny how Matt can identify all the characters on those posters. His boss plays with a sponge Bob squarepants doll yet we are immature. A little bit of projection going on.
irony is fun
Projection seems to be the default for most extremists, at least online ones. I think it may be deliberate sometimes: trying to prime observers to think anyone who brings those topics up is just going "no, you do that!"
Sanytram1 and ironically evolutionists make fun of Kent for using Spongebob in his shows and yet they make the stupid claim that sponges were our ancestors. Hypocrite much.
Like the Proud outspoken Fundamentalist Christian who was on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'. Somehow he knew which South Park character wore what. I had watched South Park, and I couldn't have answered it. Bet that Fundamentalist Christian would have known the names of Porn Actors.
@James Henry Smith Would this be a devil- type Satan or an accuser- type satan you're claiming? Either way, your version seems to be working directly for your main god. Hypothetically granting what you've said as entirely correct, this plan would only confirm that your god is not a good person: having people killed for not liking the perspective of you in your book is... not a nice thing to do.
"You're so childish! Even though I keep telling you he's real you don't believe in my invisible friend who can do everything he wants but never interacts with anyone but meee-eeee! Waaaaaaah!". Yep. We're the childish ones. Sure.
indeed
@James Henry Smith It's not from a believer.
“World’s oldest toddler” is such a fitting description of Matt
It is, it’s just so perfect.
It just makes me chuckle that, according to Matt Powell, anyone who has interests in fantasy and games and anime and stuff live in fantasy land. Whether they are atheists, other religions, or his peers in the pews. Which basically just means he's a boring person and is insecure with other people appreciating the imagination of others
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Aristotle.
But since Matt Powell is as dumb as a bag of rocks, He can't grasp how anyone can enjoy fantasy etc. without believing it's real.
I've run across something similar, with someone expressing confusion over the fact that I enjoy science fiction, but don't believe that UFO's are alien spacecraft.
You know something? I've grown up with a Baptist Christian babysitter, super passionate about her beliefs. When I was 14, I had a mythology phase, and I had to constantly remind her I didn't actually believe in or worship the Greek gods.
@James Henry Smith *Sigh*...okay, look. I'll try to be as nice as possible; you're entitled to your religious beliefs, whether or not I agree with them. However, that's not going to stop me from expressing my issues with your little statement here.
Speaking as an atheist, I don't "hate" God. I just see little reason to believe He exists, or at least to believe any contemporary religion is 100% true, especially given that many express outdated moral standards and clash with our current scientific knowledge.
Religion is also a bit of a traumatic area for me. I grew up with a Baptist babysitter who taught me her beliefs, and while she had good intentions, her words turned me into a nervous wreck. I couldn't convince myself I had a chance of getting into heaven and thought simply consuming secular media would doom me to an eternity in hell. I'm glad I was able to find a way out of it.
Of course, this doesn't mean I hate God. Religion just isn't for me...and, to be honest, the way I see it, if there really DOES exist a kind, loving god, surely he'd rather I live a happy secular life than an unhappy religious one.
As for pagans, idolaters, and Wiccans, I doubt they "hate" God either. Most likely, they grew up in communities that share their beliefs, which they were taught from childhood, much like most Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Some of them may not have heard of the Bible or the Abrahamic God, or they may just prefer the religion they practice. Doesn't mean they hate God.
Then there's your statement about God sending Satan to crush these people's heads. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't God and Satan supposed to be opposing forces? Why would they work together? I'd also complain about your implying God is willing to do His beloved children in if it wasn't for the numerous accounts of God-commanded genocide in the Bible- which, if you ask me, clashes with the notion of Him being a benevolent god.
That's all I have to say. Bye.
@James Henry Smith We are actually past due by over 1900 years. But you keep holding in for your imaginary savior who has already abandoned you based on his own supposed promises. I will carry on living in the real world, including enjoying all sorts of imaginary worlds created by great writers, artists, and film makers without you. At least I know reality from fiction.
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C. S. Lewis
It's funny how Matt and Kent are so contemptuous of fantasy and the use of imagination in general, when the aforementioned author and Christian apologist wrote one of the most popular children's fantasy series of all time.
Matt claims that "When I became a man I put away childish things" was from the bible. So he was openly lying. Or did C. S. Lewis, who was a devote Christian, just use the same wording as the passage to make a far better point?
@@SuperSwordman1: Lewis was an uber Christian. Mattyboy is a lying ass hat.
Wasnt Dantes Inferno basically fanfic?
@@skepticalstrom6247 yeah I did Google it. It is from the Bible. But doesn't seem to say what Matt thinks it does

@James Henry Smith Your god sounds like a selfish, violent bastard.
Truer words were never said.
I'm not living in a fantasy land, you are! That's the best argument ever Matty P. Good luck with that.

I'm so glad someone like Matt can come along to tell me what I think. He clearly knows what I think better than I know my own mind. He is so wise, he understands that adults engaged in things like video games can't tell the difference between games and reality. And that his wholly unproven (even disproven in many cases) holy book of stories is totally reality because he says so. Thank you, Matt!!!

@@skepticusmaximus184 -- nicely done.
I just bear in mind this is social media. And not everyone will get it. So the caveat prevents possible future nonsense.
@James Henry Smith -- not sure if you're joking or not. Not sure who you refer to when you say "idolaters" but atheists don't believe in gods. So they don't have any reason to hate whichever one you may believe exists. Any Wiccans I've run across have their own gods, and don't really bother with whatever one you may believe exists, let alone waste energy hating it.
So the only people God has sent Satan to manage any head-crushing upon are the believers in God who may hate him for some reason. Or, really, even the ones who don't based on all the stories I've heard believers say they experience at the hands of Satan and his minions.
@James Henry Smith Having a nice little sadomasochistic wank session there James?
What a deplorable and evil imaginary friend you have there. If that kind of hate filled violence is such a turn on for you, I suggest you go get professional help.
Meanwhile if you think atheists hate God, then they couldn't actually be atheists. You can't hate something if you are unconvinced it even exists. I could hate the concept of your God, and even have grave concerns about the people who fantasise about gods vengeful wrath. Truth is, it's YOU who want to crush the heads of those who don't believe what you believe. It's YOUR sick little fantasy and God is a mental projection of YOUR hatred, bigotry and violent rage. You can easily pretend a god exists and wants to fulfil your evil fantasy all you like, but it only serves to demonstrate how evil this God is and since you worship this sadomasochistic barbarian of a God, you are just as nasty and evil.
“Atheists are childish!”
*Makes an entire video full of child like reasoning and insults*
Well done Matt, well done indeed.
The fantasy argument was spot-on. Media has replaced the role of religion in many lives. It doesn't matter whether you believe fictional characters, or biblical stories are real or not, it's the significance the information has on your life that is important.
He got me in the first half, not gonna lie. 🙃

In order to replace something the thing should be of the same category. Are you telling me that modern media is the same category as religion?

Calling something 'juvenile' is something only (older) kids do. (wannabe adults, blissfully unaware of the horrors to come)
Once a person has internalized their 'adultness,' "that's childish" fades off. Becoming "that's what some person likes."
yeah... that's why teenagers tend to be way lamer than they realise
@@SirSicCrusader I cringe at the thought of my teenage self.
@@grimd8788 Yeah been there too. Oof.
Or as Christian apologist C.S. Lewis said: “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”
I guess this sort of 'Christian' doesn't even honor C.S. Lewis any more.

Having fun is a sin. It violates the zeroth commandment. "Thou shalt not boop thine doggy noses nor shalt thou express joy at the flatulence of others". Its not in the bible because moses attributed it to breathing in too many weird fumes from the burning bush but apparently that was the commandment before the commandment
Out of all the Athies, I pronounce you the Athiest.
Now can I interest you in Atheism? I have plastic dolls for boys...errr, I mean 'Action Figures.'
You’re wrong! The monkeys were actually riding jetskis while drinking Mountain Dew, eating Doritos, watching toon, and playing final fantasy on a super dragon cube 64 station.
In my experience, most fans of RPG either video games or board games like Dungeons and Dragons are atheists. They understand that there's no such thing as the supernatural, and so then when they play, they want to escape to a world where things like the supernatural exist.
Matt: I don't believe in magic, i believe in miracles!
Regular people: Miracles are magic by definition!
Matt: Nah-ah because i say so!
NO U
He believes in one more fairy tale than I do so I'd say he is more childish than me.
I'm not convinced sky daddy did it that's for sure.
Well the great thing is that we can disagree.
Which God?
Childish: Enjoying fun fictional stories
Mature: Believing Noah’s ark is actual fact
Matt has never grown out of watching and believing the Flintstones and their pet dinosaur are a real factual based documentary of human history.
1:40 oof, that was savage!
Neat!
Loving the new animations.
This dude, Mr. Matt-Matt, never fails to make me look at my screen like a dog that heard a squeaky toy. His life must be so dull, completely lacking in color and fun. 😴
But a dog hearing a squeaky toy would look excited? Weirdchamp
That you Matt Powell for giving us a Text Book example of an "ad hominem" argument. I doubt i could have made one up myself that so clearly described how the fallacy is used.
Jesus: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Matt: "Nah, fuck that."
What you think matt has actually read the bible? Pfff
@@skepticalstrom6247 he probably meant "be super serious all the time and don't have any fun".
@@skepticalstrom6247 Well you don't matter because you are not "Jesus", are you. So what YOU believe they said is quite irrelevant.
@@skepticalstrom6247 true. But he didn't say it was specifically because they watched anime. He said it was because they were childish. They enjoyed immature things, and anime was one of them.
@@skepticalstrom6247 no, I don't think you could have a fun life if you never acted in ways that most people would view as immature. Do you? :)
Think I've said this before, but I love that cartoon where 4 goat herders and their wives, who hadn't built anything bigger than a shed, constructed a vessel big enough to house 17.5 million animals and their provisions for a year. Because 100 billion cubic miles of water had appeared then disappeared killing everything on the planet. And this only happened 4500 years ago and left no physical trace whatsoever. Then those goat herds got busy, shagging each other so much (including incest as a mathematical necessity) to beget millions of workers to build the pyramids 150 years later.
THEN the Kangaroos swam all the way to Australia 🤪.
My favourite part of this video is the tag of #creaionism. I thought "hey sic, that's a typo there." But then I was like, "oh, it's Matt Powell, nah, you're right sic, he gets no T."
Sorry Matt if we have hobbies, or had a happy childhood.
Also sorry if we can make the difference between fantasy and reality, and have stopped believing in Santa.
If I believed in the correct imaginary friend could I be as cheerful as Matt appears to be in every video and clip of him? Count me in!
:0
The simple fact that Powell starts with saying “the fact that” when he’s almost incapable of actually getting facts right, at all.
Powell talking about how athiests are stuck in perpetual childhood for having actions figures.
Me: a theist with a William Shakespeare action figure on my shelf.
Always enjoy your content.
Back when I believed what Matt Powell believes, I still like video games and comics. I was proud of it too. My dad who is a preacher played video games with me and my siblings. If I were him I would check myself before my self. Not he'll ever do that.
There's a lesson in the bible somewhere, something about removing the log in your eye. Pity Matt never read that part.
@@belgarath6388 it applies to the people he judges and looks down upon. I guess he is too good for that verse.
Seriously, Imagine being a Matt Powell fan who likes video games and hearing him say that shit. I would be heartbroken.
I love how Matt, in order to further poison the well, either picked screen shots from videos filmed with potatoes, or edited them to LOOK like they were filmed on potatoes, and then kept jumping back to his perfect, pristine camera. He tried to make all of them look as pixelated, and sweaty, and unattractive as possible. He even reduced Aron Ra down to 1 megapixel. I'm beginning to think that Powell is engaging in some 1. Cherry picking (Oh, he NEVER does that!), and 2. Some shifty editing, because each of those UA-camrs have FAR better cameras and setups than how he portrays them. This shows that Matt is running out of ideas for content. This time, it's all about poisoning the well in the most childish, and deceptive way. Then again, poisoning the well, and portraying atheists as the worst people in the universe by creating complete strawmen, as well as strawmanning what they believe as well, is his shtick. And you know damn well that, given his age, Matt damn well plays video games, and watches "Toonit Network", and does all that other crap that he accused the Atheists of doing, while claiming that they were horrible for doing so. I have a serious problem believing that Matt doesn't indulge in this stuff. Then again, the audience he's playing to are mostly grumpy, old, fundamentalist Christians, who are generations older than him. He's making his money by conning old people.
I put his question in several UA-cam vid comment sections, on Matt's and on Kent's...
[quote] "How does your God feel about the fact that you are lying about him?" [endquote]
They still has to answer this question.
Depending on when Matt got into religion, it could be argued that he’s the one stuck in his childhood.
DOROHEDORO LOVE RIGHT HERE! I literally just found this creator and just been soaking in the fun insults to near insane over confident speech of those divorced from consequence, didn't think to hear about Dorohedoro here... Awesome. My life is good, keep up the fun work.
Says the man who has a giant inflatable banana in his backyard he calls "Dr. Peel."
Man, Mat Powell is still number two for the land speed record of number of idiotic fallacies that can pour out of one vapid mouth hole. Of course number one is his hostage tak- I mean cult lea- I mean.... mentor Kent Hovind.
savage
Cunt Hovind?? You mean Inmate 06452-017.
Just reasserts the fact that he's projecting because, as an atheist, I don't need a father figure to live life daily, while he clearly does. I do miss my dad tho.
I've said this on some other videos about this video of Matt's, but I'll say it here as well. The irony of Matt making this video is hilarious. He's essentially saying that his make believe super hero fantasy is cooler than all the others, and he doesn't even realize that's what he's saying. Or maybe he does realize it but thinks everyone else is too stupid to pick up on it, which says a whole different thing about him.
Matt Powell has an inflatable banana in his back yard which he calls Dr. Peel.
Well done Sir- great analysis as usual- Rich
A perfect example is my little pony friendship is magic
A show that even the creator said wasn't just for kids.
IT WENT ON TO CREATE A FANBASE THAT IS FREAKING HUGE AND MOSTLY ADULTS! IT RAN FOR 9 YEARS AND IS REFERENCED IN NUMEROUS OTHER SHOWS AS WELL
the best kids shows, tend to have broader appeal then simply the lil ones
@@SirSicCrusader well it also helps when you have epic boss fights on par with dbz and a voice cast that has voiced in anime and other popular media lol
If a childrens show can only entertain children, it has failed as a childrens show.
@@marcusreading3783 unless its specifically aimed at "little kids" then it's done its job
@@pvtread5207 Eh, fair enough I suppose. Although in this case, I'm thinking more of a tween sort of age. Obveously, I dont really expect content for toddlers to have much for adults, but at that point it doesnt really matter. The point is that entertainment for kids should respect their intelligence and try to teach them something, hense why its still entertaining for adults.
the only difference between matt and people from the dark ages is that matt speaks modern english.
They also genuinely didn't know any better back then, Matt is willfully ignorant.
First if all I'm 71 and I have been an atheist since I was about 8.
I have many interests, I sometimes play video games on the gaming computer that I built.
I have worked as a toolmaker my whole life, I do woodworking as a hobby, I enjoy some cartoons such as "The Simpsons" and "Rick and Morty"
I grew up on "Mad" magazine and building model kits.
These things still interest me, but no one who knows me would consider me childish.
I would submit that believing in a magical wizard in the sky that exists beyond the laws of nature, and can create organized matter including living organisms through the act of just making it so,
just seems the ultimate childish belief.
The concept of eternal life in paradise after you die seems to me to be the inevitable result of humans being the only animals to understand that one day, inevitably they will die.
Religious dogma, that you have to endure a miserable existence here on Earth but you will recieve your reward in heaven is suspect, especially considering that this concept is forwarded by a priest class for whom you labour to enable a life of leisure and plenty.
I have nothing else to add, but I really like the way you worded your argument.
May you live a long life
The irony of Matt implying that atheists can't distinguish between reality and fiction
What was Matt's point at 7:08 (in this video) of even showing that clip and his subsequent response? It would seem he was either making the point that, "She's right. This is the real me!" or was attempting to say she is wrong and miserably failing to do so. In which case it would seem his point was, "She's wrong. I am a complete phony!" Am I missing something here?
I wouldnt let a child watch Drawn Together, frankly adults shouldnt either, or people with allergies to bad jokes and shit like that, but i cant tell you what to do. I just looked up clueless hypocrisy and it was just a picture of matt powell.
I'm surprised you didn't mention this angle: This video represents Matt almost giving the game away. Creationists are always desperately seeking respectability. Science affirming UA-camrs are destroying creationist arguments with posters and action figures in the background, while Matt sits in a blue void with comically overdramatic music playing, spewing slightly more verbose versions of grade school insults.
So, let me see if I got this right...
A magical, all powerful being exists, when there is absolutely nothing else, and no one else...
Apparently, said magic man gets bored, and creates everything out of said nothing...
Please, tell me how this is more plausible than the big bang theory?
@@skepticalstrom6247 Please prove matter can't create itself, boy. Then prove something OUTSIDE space and time can. Then prove that thing is YOUR god.
Oh, what's that, frankie, you can't?
2:35 Oh man, how many times have I heard that sentence and JUST because I have interests
I guess Matt has never heard of nostalgia. His Christian childhood must have been so boring that he doesn't even have any fond memories of it.
How sad.
@@sussekind9717Very sad guy
10:00 if I recall I think there was an actual study done on the atheism and happiness thing. What they found was that religion, through the regular meeting of social groups, did get a boost in happiness from that. Don't remember how much and of course it doesn't matter which religion but still. I think even atheist churches get that same benefit so it's not like it's religion specifically of course.
Social animals like being social, you'd think such a tribal-minded guy would get that. Then again, it IS Matt Powell, so all bets are off.
This guy is a projectionist . He claims atheists are doing the things HE is actually doing while denying he's the one doing so .
The overblown "atheists are immature, we're the real adults" thing is... well, it's interesting. You can definitely see the kind of persona these types of people are trying to project.
It doesn't strike me as a cop-out, at least not in its intent. Remember that Matt (and many other YECs) don't think they have to prove anything; they think they've already won and are debating against idiots.
The pigeon has kicked all of the pieces onto the floor, shat on the chess board, and is now bragging about being too "mature" to play a board game.
For some reason I don't feel so confident Matt Powell should should be making that statement saying as he thinks that Confederate soldier shot down a paradaptal.
its his favourite bed time story
The credulous twit fooled himself with a film still.
The way you said "mysterious mystery" gave me heavy Strong Bad vibes. 🤣
“Apes drifting on rafts and some of them making it to new lands is rediculous.“
