Thanks Granny for a great analogy. I decided to walk away from that quarreling crowd in the lobby. They're just engaged in a never-ending theological pretzel dance.
i got so invested in the building that i forgot that this was about the bible
😆
I have investment in the building and just hoping the insurance will cover the losses if there is a fire.
We didn't start the fire.
It was always burning since the world's been turning.
@@mikeyhau"Poofie" 🤣
In the 80s they were working on having a program translate between English and Russian. They gave it the phrase, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." They fed that in, and then fed the Russian response in to get it back to English. The final result came back as, "The Vodka is good, but the meat is raw."
Surely, the note was an anonymous record of a telephone call. A call the writer claimed they had received from the builder of the building? 🤔
You have an eclectic taste in footage for cut-in jokes, and honestly, I find that refreshing. XD
🔥 This…granny’s on fire 💪🏿 👵 💪🏿 🔥
Great video Granny! You really were on fire; I got an ad for that blanket that puts out fires. Should I take a few to Hell with me? 😅
One of my favorite examples - Joshua prays for the sun to stand still. The earth stops spinning and everyone goes flying at 1000 MPH, only to be flattened by the first thing they hit. When those verses were penned, they did not know how big the sun was, or how far away. They did not know the earth was spinning, and in orbit around the sun. They writers thought the sun orbited the earth, that the earth was flat, and stationary. At least, that is what the stories would seem to indicate.
Godless Granny is the granny we should all have.
lol this video cracked me up with the edits 😂
Very nice premise. It’s really not my long term neighbor personally informing me of the fire, it’s a random person slipping a second hand note claiming Jesus saves.. I mean fire, run! 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing this Granny, it's really a great analogy!
As always, a fun and insightful video. ❤ I've never heard that analogy before.... love it ❤
You sure are on fire Granny!! That was a great analogy and great presentation of the falsehoods embedded in Christianity and its theology. Many of which I have considered and pondered myself.. So glad to have found your channel!
Great stuff, Granny! Very helpful.
this analogy is not perfect because the note should be written 40 years ago, about another building, in another country, and nobody knows who wrote it, so even if there was a fire, it was not in this building
❤❤❤
Great video Granny
Awesome! P.S. I speak German and use the online translator scenario.
This was excellent. Your research and clever presentation are amazing. Thank you for doing this ❤️
Thank you so much!
Nicely done.
Thank you.
🎶 This building's on fiyaaaaa~
My favorite New Yorker drawing is of an elderly man with his hands on his hips dressing down his cat, "Just because the ancient Egyptians worshipped cats as gods carries no weight with me, mister."
I know from watching too much UA-cam that CatPusic is the smartest cat in the world and lives in Belarus. So that is the answer to the fire warning letter conundrum. Simply, consult with the great and powerful CatPusic about the meaning and significance of the mysterious Belarusian letter. (But don't tell him about the practice of Egyptian cat worship.)
bastet is the sexiest god.
10:50 Did anyone else notice that or was it just me? 😊
Note the wrote 😊
Brilliant ! Well done. The same god trying to save us is the same one behind the punishment. It's obvious this is a made made doctrine.
Thanks.
The analogy misses one detail: the guy who wrote the letter is omnipotent. He could have stopped the fire himself, or let the fire burn the building and then miraculously rebuild the building and resuscitate the victims. Most importantly, he has the power to write warning letter in a way that everyone will understand. The power to do anything includes the power to communicate perfectly.
We are left with two possibilities. The guy is not omnipotent or the guy wanted the Fire Department to find the fire and arrest him.
Perfect!
Brilliant!
One of the things I like to mention to fire and brimstone preachers, is that Christians are supposed to aspire to be like Jesus. And Jesus was hardly known for preaching fire and brimstone.
He was a little violent in the temple. He says that he comes to bring division not peace. And he encourages the disciples to buy swords at one point. YT won't let me post links, but google 'Jesus preaches violence': the very first link that came up took me to a Baptist preacher, Miguel De La Torre, from whom I have borrowed these points. In fairness I should add that he then goes on to make the interpretation that Jesus was doing this as a trouble maker and was still essentially a pacifist.
What I'm trying to say is that, while I actually agree with you, the endless problem with the bible is that you can interpret Jesus' words and get to fire-and-brimstone. You can interpret it to get to almost anything...
(Edited because I was writing on my phone and hit the post button by accident before finishing. So had to go and get my computer. I am an idiot...)
@@lidbass Yes, of course you can interpret Jesus words to get to fire and brimstone, that's essentially how Christians got to fire and brimstone.
For that matter people can and have interpreted his teachings to mean many drastically different things.
But I was not speaking of how things could be read into the bible, but a more concrete "Did Jesus preach fire and brimstone style?".
And I don't think it can be fairly asserted that he did.
The example of Jesus behavior, that Christians are told they should be like, is I think a bit less open for interpretation than what his words might mean.
They are supposed to act like Jesus, and Jesus didn't act like a fire and brimstone preacher.
he wasn't a fireman either.
Fun fact, apparently the Noah story was "inspired" (read: stolen from) the Epic of Gilgamesh!
Love this! Very insightful
Hello Granny. I joined your channel because I admire your honesty, humanity, and courage. Most believers grew into it, and thus, had no alternative. Can you please dedicate a few episodes to focus on viable alternatives to religions. Thank you.
👏👏👏
Nice:)
Thanks 😁
GG, great analogy and then 'critical thoughts' on the bible. That would be where the apologists (or as Brian, Mr. Deity calls them, 'excusegists', would quickly turn your video off if any of their suckers, I mean, employers, I mean, um,oh hell. I guess many of them would turn it off to protect themselves, even. It is one of those sad truths yet amazing abilities of our brains. Otherwise intelligent people can just 'compartmentalize ' info that may challenge their wishes. And that explains so much about us hoomans. 👍🏼💙💙💙🥰✌🏽
10:15 "kinda lost a lot of the meaning there" Looks like the original to me. Did you use the wrong image?
No, the entire second half is missing.
@@GodlessGranny Oh! My bad.
Christianity: Blaming the Victim, the Religion.
The perp is defined as Blameless so what else can you do?
I'd take it another step forward when it comes to whether or not angels feel pain; do human souls feel pain? Do they come wiree With pain sensors? Lol
Good question!
😂😂
Koine in Koine Greek is pronounced "KEE-nee". It's the same in modern Greek.
"Coin-e" would be in Classical Greek like the Erasmian or the Attican dialect
I like the analogy. Pretty sure that the religionists will complain that it breaks down under close examination (which it does, as you yourself pointed out) but that is missing the point. It's an analogy, not an accurate description.
Yeah but the demons arent having a great time, imagine the workload? How many demons are there, and how many non-christians have theee been? Pretty sure they're all on mandatory overtime with no days off.
I still wonder how a very powerful, omni all god, who created sun, moon, planets, everything out of nothing can't snap his fingers or twitch his nose and bring forth a methodical, systematic, scientific, complete, etc. book? He could have even signed it. Just askin..😂
If the Holy Spirit were a real thing, he should allow all Christians to read the bible in its native tongue.
One of Ray Comfort’s laughable analogy’s.
You got me thinking about angels; they don’t have physical bodies but they do take on physical bodies in the Bible. I don’t think the Bible names any of the angels, but has the same angel taken on a body more than once? If so, how is that different than Jesus’s resurrection? Yes I know Jesus died to pay for our sins and the angels simply have bodies when they’re doing something and don’t have bodies otherwise. So the reasons for it are different. But for the claim that Jesus’s resurrection proves he was God, how does Jesus being alive and then not alive and then alive again prove anything more than an angel being alive and then not alive and then alive again? Even if we had evidence of Jesus dying and returning and evidence of the same angel multiple times, how would we know one proves he was God and the other didn’t?
Ultimately what we all believe is dependent upon ourselves , no matter what others say.
You don’t speak for billions of others that Believe in God and HAVE only one voice just like everyone else has one voice.
You can only not believe in God .. or believe in God and HAVE no power to make others not believe what they believe .
You want to be an Atheist , be an Atheist and if you want to believe in God then you can and no one can talk you out of your beliefs no matter how hard others may try to do so.
The difference between Atheists and believers in God is believers in God don’t run around telling other Atheists that they can’t be Atheists.
But Atheists sure love running around telling others you shouldn’t believe in God because THEY don’t believe in God and it’s just ridiculous and a foolish notion.
All of us are INDIVIDUAL Souls and we all get to choose our beliefs independently of all the other Souls around us but some sure love thinking they have some magical power to explain away God that others may believe in.
‘…believers in God don’t run around telling other Atheists…’
Firstly, you shouldn’t have the word ‘other’ in that sentence.
Secondly: have you not heard of Ray Comfort? Matt Powell? Todd Friel? Dare I say it: Greg Locke, who not only tells atheists they can’t be atheists, but would apparently be quite happy to extend the death penalty to them?
There’s the real difference: no atheist (that I am aware of) wishes actual harm to any believer. We certainly respond to you, and may mock you, but if we are truthful, we don’t really care if you want to believe. That is your right. But there are plenty of extreme religionists who would indeed like to cause harm to atheists. And many more who, often for what they see as valid reasons, wish to convert us, often by force. Sorry, but you are wrong.
@@lidbass as a long time atheist in America, I totally forgot to tell my kids about religion until they were old enough to see a giant crucifix and ask why there was a statue of a guy in a tree. I knew religion would seem ridiculous to them and I was very careful to explain why it’s not so crazy for people to believe this and people take this very seriously so don’t joke about it. But that was before 2016 when the Christian nationalists really got emboldened. Now I’m not an anti-theist but I do debunk religious claims that my kids bring home from the world, and I don’t say that religious people are bad but that they are too certain that they are right and everyone else is wrong, including other religious people at their same church.
Ps what about the angels nobody answered that
@@davidrexford586 ok but what about the angel questions I asked? I feel like you copied and pasted that script without regard for what I said and I didn’t say I was an atheist. Can you tell me more about angels?
@@davidrexford586 also Romans 1:20 is used to tell atheists they aren’t atheists. Theocratic countries today have laws against atheism.
Great job. I can tell you have been doing research using critical thinking skills.
Divine Hiddenness and the Problem of Religious Language, much better arguments for the non-existence of god that the problem of evil, many shallow forms of religion are themselves answers to that problem.
I still believe, but the bible is but a book and not God.
Believe what?
