- I love Ricky.. he tells it like it is, and tries not to offend anyone. (If you didn't know, he is an Atheist)... He makes great points... I have always agreed with everything he states here.... So I put this together to share with everyone..

You atheists can hide the truth from yourselves, but you can't hide yourselves from the angel of death.
Neither can you. And if it weren't for religious people. We would have solved death. Scientists know aging and cancer are a multitude of errors in our cells, that will be fixed, in 2 more generations. Thank you so much, for SLOWING down science for thousands of years, and are responsible for killing me and my children, because you can't snap out of a fantasy! But. you wouldn't dare to realize your grandchildren will stop aging at 30. And explore the cosmos, You killed us. You should sure feel ashamed. What took so long for science to advance? People like yourself.
If there is an angel of death, won’t you someday be visited?
Threatening an atheist with the angel of death is like threatening an adult with Santa won't get you presents.
FFS 🤬
not hiding, angel of death can come at me... oh, he can't come at me, he doesn't exist! what a shame...
“If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.”
Albert Einstein
And Albert was wrong indeed
Pedro Junior I disagree with you on that.
@@mellamojeff5629 I Know you do
@@mellamojeff5629 that statement was already answered by Jesus him self in the parable Lazarus and the rich man, in the middle of the parable the rich man says to Abraham to send Lazarus to his brothers that they may repent, Abraham says that that is not gonna work, not even if a person RISES FROM THE DEAD. Why didn't Abraham accept the rich man's plead? Because scaring people with the fear of hell, doesn't lead them away from hell, it leads them to it, because if a man from heaven came and told me about how horrible hell is, I would not be good for God's sake or for Goodness sake, I would be good for my sake, and when I feel I am moraly good enough to not go to hell, I will look down at others people with arrogance, and thinking I am deserving of heaven because of my good works, not because of Christ who saved me.
@@pedrojunior5996
I do not care about any religion, I care about science and I care about humanity. I am sorry that you feel that without threat of eternal torment or the promise of a life after death people cannot do anything good, to me that is very dehumanising and I think we are better than that. Morality exists outside of your religion and the god of the Bible is most certainly not moral, by attempting to refute Einsteins quote on this you are pretending that nothing good has ever been done without belief in a heaven or hell. What about the 93 percent of scientists in NAS who are atheists and agnostics? You are ignoring their essential contribution to society.
Being a kind person is not a Christian value, it’s a basic human value
No not even basic human value to many monsters in the human race
Jacktheripper2000 pro gamer Basic human value under what atheist system? Being king to one another is a Christian value
FrankieDon Boss it’s not exclusive to christianity and a lot of christians aren’t actually kind
Alice, where does objective morality come from?
Michael Brickley empathy. if you honestly think that kindness is exclusive to christianity, you are the reason everyone gets pissed at american christians
I'm an atheist, I believe in humanity, good morals, treat others how you yourself would like to be treated etc. When I die if I'm wrong regarding the afterlife would whichever god I am to be judged by not have the knowledge to know my thoughts, see what I've achieved, know i've treated others with compassion and used the mind and body he created for good and without his guidance, yet throw in into the fires of hell because I didn't believe in a religion?
There's millions of bad people who hide behind religion, who use religion as an excuse for there behaviour and sins but yet are forgiven for those sins by other religious people simply because that say /believe in a god!
JonsTunes I have done the math and feel similar to you. Odds are if you truly live the life you describe, you and I are in a better position than theists and atheists to go to heaven if there were such a place.
@@tjones5719
Accept you are an atheist, remember. And i'd love to see those calculations. What's the mathmatical symbol for god again?
Still Fritz 12 you keep up with your delusions and lack of knowledge fan boy. First you know every definition you passed by me for an atheist did not represent my position, why are you so needing me to be part of your indoctrinated crowd... you are pathetic.
Second you actually have already seen the calculations in another thread. Sorry it probably didn’t strike a chord with you because it was real probability not made up probability like you practice.
Hello, religion is something that was made by man. Jesus never made a religion and no where in the Bible do you read that god/Jehovah commanded that a religion be made. So just put faith in god/Jehovah and know that the only way a person gets to the father is through the son.
@@r6685 god isnt real.
I love how it's acceptable to constantly question an atheist about their beliefs and ask them to justify this. Replace Ricky with a devout Christian or Muslim and things get inappropriate real quick...
How so? I would really like to know. I'm a believer, have been one for about 40 years. I'm not asking to challenge, would just like your thoughts on what you just said.
@@georgehunt6381 I would not apply this to every religious person in the entire world but very very often if you were to intimate to a devoutly religious person that their beliefs are silly or nonsensical and asked them to justify why they believe in what they do or how they justify having those thoughts, many would find that to be highly offensive. One of the reasons I do not like religion is because, in my experience, many people treat their beliefs and the major tenets of their religion as beyond reproach when in actuality they can't claim to know the mind of god or any other creature. This speaks to the overall power and control that religion exerts quite successfully, in my opinion. To question, which is a natural human habit, means you are a dissenter. To have full on doubt means to blaspheme. This is all about control. This is what dogma does. However, as long as you do not attempt to shove your own beliefs down my throat, and vice versa, I think there is infinite room for mutual respect in the differences.
@@funnyjcutie I have heard of people who get upset when they are asked about their faith. I don't, however, I welcome the oppurtunity to share about Christ to anyone who would like to hear it.
I would have to agree on knowing the mind of God. That is not possible. Who are we, the created to know the mind of the creator? God is Soverign, sufficient in Himself. God is perfect. He answers to no one. We only exist because of His love for us.
There, Jessica, is the reason for His Word, the Scriptures, so we may learn more about Him, become more like Him. That is what the word Christian means, little Christ.
But, as I promised, I didnt want you to answer to argue. Just want to share that point.
@@georgehunt6381 why do you believe some god actually exists?
Why are you a Christian?
@@alisonaizlewood475 Because I know Christ loves me, because for 40 years I've had a personally relationship with Him. I've talked to Him through prayer and He has answered back through His Word, through others, or through the quietness of the day. My faith has grown through these times, even when they've been tough times.
I see God in nature, when I walk on trails, if I see the mountians, a thunderstorm. About 20 years ago, while on a walk, I picked up two pine cones, just ordinary pine cones. They sit on my desk at home to remind me of God's awesome power, of not just creation, but that He is in control of all things and that one day His Son, Jesus Christ, is coming back here to earth. So, I guess it would be my faith in Christ. There is a Bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
You see, Christ aways have good thoughts towards His people, they are never evil. It doesn't mean that things may not get tough, but He will always be there to help us get through those times.
And that is how our faith in Christ grows, by trusting Him during the tough times.
I’m on Ricky’s page. Religion baffles me.
Religion sells a second life. For those who aren’t happy in this life, that’s a pretty attractive deal.
Depends which religion you refer to.
One promises 72 virgins when you kill a bunch of people.
Another, simply wants you to follow a simple set of moral codes.
Self Aware there’s no mention in Islam of 72 virgins by the way pal. And islam does have simple set of moral rules. It’s sad to see that Europe has not learnt its lessons from the hatred unleashed on Jews and have now chosen Muslims as their scapegoat. No more.
Self Aware , 72 virgins when you kill a bunch of people? Do you have any reliable sources of references to support your claim? :)
I can try and make it easier for you?
Forget religion, and forget that I’m mentioning god for now.
We need to establish the principal of how we got here first.
Some would say that we evolved from apes, some would say we evolved from Fish through apes and then cavemen.
Some would say that we came from bacteria, made with the same moral values of atoms and particles as that bacteria from many millions of years ago...
The question is, how far back do we want to go? It’s like a domino effect; there had to be a cause to push the first domino, and there has to be a final domino to end the sequence, no matter how long this chain of dominos is, even if these dominos extended to the skies and the universe, it cannot be infinite.
If something was infinite, it wouldn’t have existed in the first place because there would have been nothing to cause it in the first place..
When’s the last time we as human beings discovered any example or model or build or product to be infinite?
What’s your opinions on how we got here? I think that should be the starting point, in order to establish the most accurate possibility... :)
Hi Joel! :) why is it wrong to have hope? why is it right to think you are just screwed if it didn't happen good for you here..no one chose where to be born and the circumstances of that. There has to be a balance otherwise it's a lopsided universe we live in and I'd rather end it right here for myself because for every issue I face, someone is getting the best in a similar situation. My every loss is someone's gain and my every gain is someone's loss. No one deserves to be a loser without having done something wrong to deserve that. Scales have to balance and its not very logical to understand (in my opinion) that while nearly everything else in the observable universe around us is in a perfect balance..just we are not and will never be?!
why would death be more frightening for an atheist. everything is done. no more stress, worries, pain, anything. christians get to worry about hell.
Ya, which is also confusing. Jesus already died for our sins and paved the way into heaven, so why would anyone go to hell? Also, why would hell be a bad place? Satan, the baddest entity we know of, is suppose to punish you for being bad? Doesn't make sense.
Satan is seen more as a destructive being. His enjoyment is in the suffering of others.
How does a soul suffer?
Joseph Patterson
Honestly, I have no idea. I was just saying that is their belief.
It's not that Satan would reward loyalty, it's that his seductive nature is to try to get people to turn away from the life-giving, creator God, in order to destroy and cause suffering to beings that can suffer.

@Poop haha you got me there nice joke bro :)
One day, man will be remembered as the species that invented gods, and then took the rest of his existence trying to prove that they existed.
Pedro Silva “...trying time prove they existed.” This is incorrect. Science is not trying to prove god exists or doesn’t exist in general (when you look at all the research happening). So your statement is wrong there.
Atheists generally ask for proof but they are not trying to prove god exists. So your statement is wrong here.
Theists state and have faith which does not require proof. Therefore theists are not actually trying to prove god exists. The closest you generally come is some trying to build a logic statement that tells you why they are convinced but that is not nor is it seeking proof, it’s an explanation. So your statement fails here.
Now they may be other groups but I likely took care of 80-90 percent of the population where your state never was false. So why did you make it?
RUSSIAN ROBOT tell that to them if you believe that.
Pedro Silva beautiful comment 😁👏
RUSSIAN ROBOT it amazes me that people like you speak with such conviction, as if you know the secrets of the universe, when in fact no one does. As Socrates is often attributed in saying “I know that I know nothing”. To claim otherwise is arrogant and stupid.
RUSSIAN ROBOT Yeah, I’m sure that Socrates requested the not yet born Alexander the Great to do that. Good job, dude.
I’m not sure if you’re a troll or not. Referring to yourself in third person and as ‘this one’ - like you’re some sort of divine being. If you’re not a troll, I genuinely wish for you to spend some time with yourself and contemplate on how little you know, because you are way, waaay to arrogant.
even if heaven was real, I am baffled that Piers Morgan believes he will have access to it
Hahah
You know my dad was emotionally abusive for years to my mum and told me if i didnt go church i wasnt part of the familly....im sure he thinks hes going heaven lol
Lol
I think Piers Morgan believes in god because he's not intelligent enough to consider the alternatives.
Chloe's Room haha!!
I never understood the point that "being an atheist must make you more afraid of death"... Well, no, not really. I was dead for the billions of years before my birth, and that never caused me any inconvenience. I don't have to fear what comes after death. Christians do. They have to spend their last moments worrying whether they've earned a spot in Heaven or whether they will be sent to hell for eternal damnation. Not to mention every loved one they lose they have to ask themselves, "Will they be in paradise or tortured for an eternity?" That seems like a lot of unnecessary stress.
Vincent Alexander seems like a messed up system.... live for years on earth then die..... eternal suffering and damnnation for loving Mickey Mouse, you know that whole worshipping of false idols.
Mark Twain I think it was that voiced your point. He said.. 'I was dead a million years before I was born, and it didn't bother me none'. Very valid. Jefferson also said.... 'Christians fear science as witches fear the rising sun'. Dam.. I love that quote.
Vincent Alexander well according to the Cristian belief, you can be the baddest horrible person ever but still go to heaven as long as you believe in him but if you're the nicest person ever who happens to not believe in him then to hell with you. that in my opinion makes god out to be the most disgusting horrible being possible
Yes indeed. But sadly logic doesn't matter to christians. Very good point.
Mightyimpact heaven isn't for us. How many people do you know in heaven? The word "paradise" actually means a park like garden.
Knowledge is better than opinion.
I used to be Christian. Now I value life and the people around me a lot more, because I believe this is it. I try to be the best human I can be, instead of the best worshipper.
The Female then you likely didn’t really know what the teachings of Christianity were if that was a switch. Hopefully you’re happy being able to be a little (perhaps a lot) more selfish.
Exactly..it becomes simple as that
Congratulations for being able to open your eyes!
T Jones
That’s pathetic. You think people don’t believe what you do because they don’t understand it. She just explained how becoming an atheist made her less selfish, but you boorishly accuse her of the opposite. Such shite behavior from a Christ “follower”. Maybe you’re the one who doesn’t understand the teachings that well. 🤦♂️
Ro Ems “that’s pathetic”. Let’s see what is pathetic.
“You think people don’t believe what you do because they don’t understand it.” You committed a strawman. You are clearly referencing a supposed belief I have in Christianity. I’m not a theist, no a Christian. So yes, you being illogical is pathetic.
“...how becoming an atheist made her less selfish.” Actually she didn’t she said she valued life (very indeterminate of what this means, most likely living life as if there is no tomorrow which tends to be selfish) and valued people around her (again this is pretty indeterminate, it could be respecting people, it could be caring for them but given the post where she tries to bash Christianity and christians, it likely is not a selfless statement). And statistics show that atheists are less caring and concerned with others - giving, volunteering based on surveys are all significantly lower for atheists on average.
“Such Shite from a Christ follower.” Again another strawman. You really need to challenge your indoctrinated views before looking as pathetic as you do here.
“Maybe you’re the one who doesn’t understand the teachings that well.” Nice childish “I know you are but what am I” type retort when you have no evidence to support this - just casting knives. Not so ironically very selfish of you.
I'm afraid of living, being dead is pretty easy.
@Ryoshikari or we wont. And thats more likely
Bernardo Marques based of what? I’m a believer of god, but I also respect people’s choice not to believe in God.
@@gg-uq6zm its not a choice. You cant choose what you believe. And its based on the lack of evidence to support that. Of course I might be wrong but I can say nontheless that its unlikely
Bernardo Marques nvm misread your comment. I see what you mean.
@Ryoshikari nothing we perish...
The atoms that once could think can't no more
I am 83 and do not fear death. I have been lucky to be here and I have had a god life with all its joys and sorrows. I do not understand why believers seem to think that atheists fear death. What have we to fear? I just am glad that I had this one chance. I have lived the best I can and when I failed I just tried a little harder. It is those who expect to be judged that should fear death because as you have judged so shall you be judged.

Levi Noseberg whatcha gonna do when you
d i e
and find out a random pagan religion was actually right and all of your buds are burning on stakes stuck through their arses

Levi Noseberg There are literally millions of gods people believe in. I don’t believe in any of them (‘cept for ‘is noodlay appendage”) and you don’t believe in one less than me. Although looking at your profile, you’re obviously a troll, and I’ll leave you to your miserable existence.
@PurpleStratocaster and using blaspheamour is a really intelligent way of getting your point across.
I recognise that everyone has their own "god" and not everyone's god is that same as the next persons.
However.. I don't believe there is a god.. as I never made an agreement between God and Jesus themselves..
I don't need to recondition my self beliefs everytime with a book... Of if in a time of need.. reach for a book to confirm within myself, the way truth and light.
Seriously.. religion isn't even that important in this day and age as it doesn't hold a bearing on today's currently standing.. remember.. that book was written from a long time ago.. honestly who can say when it was written.. and secondly, who can honestly trust a rewritten support base from such a long time ago.. I'm strictly sticking with religion in this part.
Atheism is a choice individuals make as they simply don't by into bullshit.
If you're angry about my opinion on things.. that's ok.. you have a god to turn to to allieviate your stress and to pray for me would be a useless task as the blessing would go to the wayside as the ideals you hold aren't relevant to me.. remember, I don't follow religion and support my ideals by an invisible "entity" located in such a far place that we can't even see him/her.. and people also believe that God is a male..
How can an omnipotent entity be labelled with such mortal inclinations..
God and Jesus were apparently the same thing, yet to two separate entities.. Jesus used a scientific form of procreation to get Mary pregnant.. look it up.. frogs have the ability to do it.
Anyway.. if Jesus and God were determined to be actually beneficial and provide a book to help people, why did it not include the shape.of the earth we are bonded too?
since I've turned 18 I'm an atheist, I'm 20 now and I'm loving it
"Thank god I'm an atheist"
Ricky Gervais showed great tolerance towards Mr Morgan when he called him a "pathological atheist". He could reply that he heard Mr Morgan was a pathological catholic.
catpawprints1 piers Morgan is a pathological idiot.
RUSSIAN ROBOT
What are you talking about? Belief and knowledge are two different subsets. Ricky is an agnostic atheist because he doesn’t believe any gods exist but he doesn’t claim to know it. Learn what the words actually mean before calling OTHER people idiots. It’s too ironic.
RUSSIAN ROBOT
You are too stupid to even understand the definitions of the word. Everyone is either a theist or an atheist. You cannot be neither. You are either convinced that a god exists, or you aren’t convinced, an atheist is not convinced. They are about belief. Gnostic means knowledge. So agnostic means that you don’t know. Gnostic means that you do know. So only a gnostic atheist claims that they KNOW that no gods exist. And agnostic atheist say they aren’t convinced a god exists but they don’t KNOW that no gods exist. THESE ARE THE DEFINITIONS OF THE WORDS. IF YOU DENY THAT THEN YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THESE ARE FACTS.
RUSSIAN ROBOT
These are the definitions of the words. You don’t just get to change them because you want to attack atheists. If you do not accept the claim that a god exists, then you are an atheist. Period. There is no such thing as just agnostic. That is a claim of what you know. Theism vs atheism is what you believe. They are two separate matters. These are facts and definitions that don’t change just for you.
RUSSIAN ROBOT
Ok you’re clearly just a troll, because those definitions aren’t debatable. That is what they mean. Gnostic means knowledge. Agnostic is lack of knowledge. Theism is BELIEF. Belief and Knowledge are two separate things.
I believe I have the ability to behave without the threat of hell- outrageous I know!
College Advisors NE that makes you like most people - atheist and theist. The real trick that doesn’t sit well with most atheists is to actually be and do good for others without a reminder. Most fail at that.
@@tjones5719 I have no problem giving back to my community- in fact, I love it and make time every week. No reminders needed:-) Also being negative only hurts yourself and the people around you- so it's just practical to be good? Plus I get bad vibes donating to pedophiles:-(
College Advisors NE way to be self centered (a common trait for those who state agreement with the video fallacies) as your comment focuses only one you. Nothing you just said refuted nor even addressed anything I said - just one big red herring.
Next time when you want to pretend to engage in a conversation actually make a comment on what the other person said.
And if you are worried about pedophiles then you must not understand the horrific stories of the Catholic Church, I also hope you don’t go to movies - Hollywood being a large and actual pedophile institution itself. But I’m betting you are inconsistent and only care to say some uninformed comments about things you don’t believe to try to use more logical fallacies, rather than critically examine the things you believe in.
@@tjones5719 I wish you all the best- stay positive! It does really work in the end. I do admire Ricky ad hope more follow his example.
College Advisors NE again just avoidance from you and unfounded judgment. It seems you don’t follow what you claim, but that isn’t the only inconsistency you are showing.
Oh and RG made over a dozen misstatements in the video, your admiration indicates a bit of the inability to question your beliefs as I said.
Thanks for confirming my points although indirectly.

Born into a very religious family, attended a Catholic school since preschool, became an atheist at age 15 and realized how much of my life has been lost believing in fairy tales.
The Catholic church is no fairy tale.. They just apologized for Rwanda's massacre.. When Jesus said sheep in wolves clothing it had to be Rome. Paul said grievious wolves will enter in....Through who the WAY will be evil spoken of.... They took the name of Jesus Christ out of the baptism and made him part of a trinity and say the titles, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost....

Realizing you are an atheist is like waking up from a long and confusing dream, and never needing to sleep again.
Olivia Greaves more like falling into a nightmare
sleep is good. rest- breathing in and out. light and dark.
monomania- insomnia:- bad.
Olivia Greaves And its another religion, it's just not honest about that. There isnt a scientist alive that can explain or prove pre big bang existence, not one. You have faith that science will ultimately explain, I have faith that God will. Where's the difference? Unless you're agnostic (a stupid position if you ask me) you follow a religious belief system, whether you like it or not.
FUTURE PHILOSOPHY Thanks for your comment. :) I suppose the only difference is that I don't have to put effort into being supportive of the scientific method. I have seen with my own eyes how experiments work and I know that the scientific community is fiercely competitive and critical of each new finding. I am allowed to be skeptical of everything that they discover, and I don't have to believe any of it if I don't want to. Science is not a religion, there is no worship. If anything it is a business, where only the strongest and most credible ideas survive. I personally don't believe anything until I've tested it myself or had it explained to me in detail.
Olivia you are possibly however a little confused. you say above you are an 'atheist', and how that is like waking rather than sleeping. Now you say you are a believer in 'scientific method' as if that is the same thing. Do you think Newton, Pascal, Einstein- believed in the scientific method?
in fact the majority of the great men of science were not only religious but deeply so. The original atheistic fanboys of 'science' were posturing LITERARY fops whose contribution to actual science was precisely nil..
I was raised in a totally areligious home. I learned about " gods " in school . The first thing I learned about Christians was that they were obviously lying to me and they knew it.
Alan Macphail your statement related to learning about gods makes me think of a counter point to RGs statements. Most public schools that I know do the same thing - teach about gods and teach that all gods talked about are fake. It’s the indoctrination that RG doesn’t acknowledge because it doesn’t make his victimhood mentality work.
@Alan Macphail, I'm jealous, wish I was raised to question religion. At least I am doing the same for my kids as your parents/guardians did for you.
Vince Hall it’s sad that you didn’t end up like 90% or so of kids who learned to question. I don’t know that I would be announcing that to people if I were you.
@@vince6252 Well, in my opinion, every healthy religon does ask questions. St Augustine once said - once you think, ir have an image of or think you figured out God, you can be certain it's not God, it's only your idea. And, that is what is major case of religion today. In the past it was supposed to be mistery that made you curious about everything, today it's meant to simplify and make life clear, it's to be a simple guidebook...and so often, what is offered is not a journey, a quest, or searching, but someone's idea of God.
Some would say that, what is offered is dogma, but that is not what dogma is. Dogma was starting point, and if one looks at the dogmas of early Church they weren't designed to make thing clear, they were made to guard agains what made thing clear. For example - person of Jesus, it would make it easier to say that he was only an enlightened human being, or that he was simply God with human mask. By claiming fully human and fully divine, it made most difficult, most "absurd" idea a dogma. It wasn't accident, it was on purpose. It was not to set limits, it was to erase them. It was not to stop asking, it was made to continue asking.
alex gilmour you had a pretty poor teacher if that left him or her speechless. My response to you is that I wanted a thorough in depth review of one - and you would not have time to do this for all four or I would explain that I would only grade one of them, so turn in the one you thought you did best. No need to be speechless whatsoever.
Unfortunately it’s that type of poor teaching that causes more narcissism in students and encourages a lack of attention to detail. I’m sorry you had to experience that.

That’s a real trifecta showing how incapable you are...was that what you were going for.
Genetic fallacy ooops
Hi Dan.. Ricky is keeping it very subjective don't you think? In India, TODAY it might be the case but most of these religions are farrrrr more ancient than that and some religions were born elsewhere and now their centers are in complete different parts of the world. Christianity is your one example. Judaism is your other. So is Hinduism because Hinduism was NOT born in modern day India, it was born in Pakistan which is 99.9% Muslim. Similar is the case with Buddhism. So I dont think what he says fits outside of 20th century.

In order to manipulate an ignorant mind and control it, a religious context is used by casting intangible fear or offering a heavenly reward.
Morphed Renegade incorrect, the mind does not have to be ignorant. Look at Sam Harris, I wouldn’t say he is ignorant but he has definitely been manipulated in his beliefs of atheism. His reward is his ability to feed his ego.

He was a fair sport tho have to admit. He was quite open minded
“People say they don’t believe in Santa Claus because it’s made up and it doesn’t make sense (no evidence). Good points. But of course you believe in god. “
- Oliver Matthews
Nice quote but analyze it because it contains an error. There actually is evidence for god, just people weigh it differently or view it as not convincing which is fine. But to say no evidence indicates a complete devoid of scientific knowledge.
@T Jones Yeah I know. Its not me speaking. It’s an author named Oliver Matthews. I thought this quote was cool so I commented it.

Piers Morgan: “You don’t believe in life after death, so you must fear death 10 times more than christians?”
Me: I have a colleague who is islamic and she relies heavily on her believe in the afterlife, ‘where her life will truly begin’ and therefore is accepting her fate in this life being married to a abusing husbond and she will never experience love and truly living. I’ve tried so hard to convince her, but her religion is making her endure. I feel so sad for her.
- Live your life now and have no regrets when you are ready to die. Because you only live once!
Worse: if Islam were correct, she'd remain his wife/slave forever in heaven.
i suppose for many muslim believers it must be very hard, almost impossible, for them to not think about the afterlife. After all it is something that is drummed into them almost non stop from birth. Once you are programmed to think like that then it is awfully hard to break away from such indoctrination. That is why i admire any ex-muslim, catholic, etc as they must be so emotionally strong in order to break free from all that dogma and religious programming.
I have an agnostic view on 'You only live once!'
RUSSIAN ROBOT - Now that is what you call nonsense. Reincarnation. 🙄

Ricky is one of my heroes. Especially all he does for the animals. Love him.
Kay Muldoon i’m going to hunt a bear with my new pistol that i bought. LOL
Kay Muldoon - Agreed Kay, genuinely a good fella, doesn’t need a religion to justify(or excuse) his actions.
RUSSIAN ROBOT - The same could be said for 99% of people with a platform. Yet Rick is still an animal lover, and a decent fella.
I can only assume you’re a follower of a popular man-made religion.
RUSSIAN ROBOT - Everyone makes assumptions, and you’re no different my friend, therefore I’ll pass on your arrogance.
However, sadly not enough people wish to question, and place their belief within fallacies(religion profits remarkably from such behaviour).
Question; are you a follower of a popular man-made religion?
RUSSIAN ROBOT - You claim to have no opinion; no arrogance, whilst actively passing judgment on a man you do not know, and calling my comment _”incorrect nonsense,”_ as you disagree with it.
May I suggest you practice what you preach _Russian Robot._
The very fact you’re expressing your opinion of yourself is ironic, yet we are all hypocrites, even if some won’t confess to their hypocrisy.
(Very interesting you would include _totalitarian capitalism_ within your argument. Perhaps you should have thrown socialism, and communism in there too). Yet not relevant to the conversation at hand(Rick, and his adopted beliefs).
Whilst you may posses no belief within or against religion, you are certainly guilty of; ignorance, (non-religious)faith, delusion, arrogance, making assumptions, and possessing an opinion. This is due to the fact you’re human.
(You place faith within the medical staff caring for you. You believe the toothpaste you purchase will keep your teeth clean. These are basic examples of (non-religious)faith).
Now, I can agree with your last remark. I’m an atheist by definition; as I place no belief within a god, yet I’m open to the chances of a creator.
We are all agnostic, as we simply do not know(and there’s every chance we never will).
I like to think I question everything(although unlikely, as we take a lot on faith). However, I’m open to rationale thought, that can provide credible evidence.
Our opinions of Rick are subjective, therefore your opinion of him is just as valid as mine, even if I choose to disagree with it.
Take care.
Edit - After reading your comment for a second time, I see I was rash in my response.
I too agree with the sentiment that we know little of the truth, yet adopt our preferred belief system(unless forced upon us of course).

But I see you don’t live by evidence in your indoctrinated world so you just make up things without basis.
“Thanks for approving of my sayings.” Again you are making things up all to coddle your fragile ego.
“Could you also be more specific so that you can lead me through the right path!” Use evidence and logic and learn to question, that’s what you should start doing.
“I love how good you are with definitions, you clearly repented to thy wiki, only respect is fitting.” Nice lie, the definition is not from wiki but again you don’t let facts and evidence get in the way of your emotional protection of your indoctrination.
Why is it that absolutely nobody that defends religion can come with any kind of argument that makes you think: that makes sense. ?
Daniel Danicon Thats because every argument comes down to "my god is real cause my mommy told me". There are no arguments from religious people that can be backed up with science so it can never seem logical either. 😉
The reason is acturely simple. Because it can't be done easily.
Think of it this way.
If a child asked you to explain the atom, you would give IT a very simple answer, not talking about how protons are made up of kvarts etc. You only go into that detail, egen seeking research yourself, or taking a long education.
Could i give you an answer to why believing in a god, makes sense? Yes i could. But i won't. It would simply take me too long.
But why? Well, there are 2000 years of religious philosophy for me to go over, each taking and aspect og life and asking questions related to the god question itself.
To say that religion is simple and just silly, Days more about the persons knowledge than anything else. Its like hearing a glat earther dismissing evidence, just because the notion of standing on a huge ball is counter intuitive.
Many that belive in a religion, don't know anymore about its deeper arguments for a god, that a highschool student knows about kvarts in atoms. But that does not mean that there aren't well made arguments for a specific religion.
The great issue is, that er treat religion as a child subject. But IT really isn't. Think og the holy Trinity. Many adults don't get it, so how can a child? The result is that many think they know a lot more about religion than they really do.
So i agree that children should not be exposed to religion any more, than to how atoms behave.
But unikke others i think it would make more believers, and more self undestood believers.
Hope that answer the question.
Peter Koed Atoms CAN be explained though, with science. You can literally prove nothing about your beliefs.
Cliff No doubt that the Universe (as we know it) is beyond our comprehension how it exists and what it is exactly as the explanations such as 'Big Bang' are so simplistic in their base that its probably something beyond our ability to even understand. My question is why do Humans always have to personify everything. Why would it be one 'GOD' who has conscious thoughts like Humans. And therefore who created that GOD ? I would see it more likely to be a force of some kind or a natural force like the Wind or the Light. Something beyond our comprehension as opposed to a personified GOD.
Peter Koed How can Relgious believers explain geographical location? Do Religious believers really think that if they were born in a different country where a different religion is more prevelant that they would not have followed? The base of what I am saying is that it is not the Specific Religion which is important, it is your education and what you are exposed to. The millions of christians in America if they were born in India they would not have the education to have a choice. Therefore the whole thing is a fallacy and a lottery based on where you were born. Unless you believe that your GOD specifically chose to concentrate everyone in One specific area of the World and every other part of the World are sinners and going to hell. Its obvious what Religion was used for. It was used t control people in a good way and give them a guideline of Morals at a time when there was barbaric behavior and a lack of education. And it worked as people who fear doing the wrong thing will act within the law without needing constant governance. Religion was a genius Idea at the time and created boundaries for people. It was not to be taken literally It was a stop gap implemented before Countries became educated and civilized. The Amazing Men/Women who wrote the Bible wrote and used the stories almost like we use stories to warn children of certain situations. They knew that what they were writing was not all factual but they knew the uneducated masses needed answers and a simple explanation for their lives. It was genius but is so completely unnecessary in today's world where Education is accessible. We should still use a form of the Bible today with simple stories with simple messages for very small children but certainly not for Adults.
Pierce Morgan bit proves once again that the main driving force of religious belief is fear of death. It's our ultimate fear, one we find really hard to let go of and emancipate from. People's egos don't let them see things as being finite, they think they are entitled to eternal life. I guess decades of great things to experience in life counts for nothing? I find the idea of eternal life in fact very sinister and distrubing, as you don't get to have a sense of closure, it just goes on and on. And btw I don't think people ever try to concieve how would eternal life actually work. Since it relies on the idea of a soul being separated from the body, it would seem that it would look nothing like our real, physical lives and it seems that it would boil down to being just aware and having counciousness in a sea of energy, something immaterial. Does it really sound promising, and for that matter, fulfilling and fun?
Miroslav Majstorovic there is a passage in the Bible that says "He has put eternity in their hearts", tslking about all mankind's innate desire to live forever. If you're interested, I'll find it for you.
Exactly
Its a survival mechanism
One part of it is the social aspect we group over a common goal interest a thing that makes us united to survive the wilderness
To have a fictional leader
Like ants having a queen
I think it's possible we had consciousness before our birth and will continue having it after death.
bob deeb Atheism is someone not believing in any religion. If they all got together and invented their own God to challenge other gods to a fist fight or something illogical such as that, you'd have a point. It's the act of not believing in anything from lack of proof any God, out of the thousands worshipped throughout time will meet us when we die.
I personally don't think we're important enough for some magical almighty being to wait on us like a drive through window at a fast food restaurant. That's a human belief making us seem more important than we are. That's my two cents at least.
bob deeb Prove every other religion, with the thousands of other gods were complete nonsense and as made up as Santa clause. Don't even do it for me. If there's even 1 of the something like 2700 gods you can't prove never existed, then how would you know you're worshipping the correct one
The cheeky smirk at his “After Life” innuendo 💀💀🖤
why does every religious person ask the same depressing question of what is afterlife if not hell and heaven . like we wont know until we die . its like you have a big cake for lunch in front of you and you are worried what will i get for dinner tonight . just live life peacefully . if god was real he would expect the same .
I use to be a Christian. All my life was doing things because of fear I was going to hell. I was constantly scared I didn't pray enough times a day. I needed to memorize the bible. It was the constant fear that even if I was a nice person, I would be suffering for all eternity if I didn't worship a being enough. Now that I'm atheist, I feel much better. I'm not constantly scared anymore. I hold my own morals without a book telling me to do so. I treat others with respect and kindness more than I ever could with the bible. One of the best decisions of my life.
Alien Kitten what made you become an atheist?
Good on you..
Having to repeatedly use a book to reconfirm your belief is an unhealthy way to live anyways..
@@garystinten9339
Hey Gary, what do you believe?
Alien Kitten I believe in god but I'm not religious at all. I live my life as I want to. I'm nice and respectful to the people that I need and/or want to be, I don't pray at all. I barely go to church maybe every 3 or 4 months and I kind of fall asleep or just barely listen to what the pope says. I have never read the Bible. I just believe that god exist and you go to hell or heaven at the end depending on you action more good or more bad. But if you do one bad action you don't go to hell I don't leave in fear, I'm a good person not because of fear I just don't care and I am who I am.
Do you believe in the Christian God? If so, you should really read about what you are worshipping. Based on what you say you would go to hell. Pretty must everyone would go to hell based on the Bibles rules if we're being honest.
The good news is that is not what will happen. Be honest with yourself and admit that it's nonsense. You seem to be half the way there. You have no connection to the Bible and its teachings. You just want to be good. You can do that without a primitive old book from centuries ago. A book containing shitloads of horrible rules and dated values. Good luck to you either way. Continue living a good life.
I think relegion is just a product of people's fear of death... comfort that there will still be life after death...
And the fear of knowing nothing...
Thinking that if u dont know where it came from... then maybe there's a powerful being who made all of it..
Dada Dabest considering most religious still fear death, either it’s absolutely ineffective (which would mean it likely would have died out a long time ago) or that’s not the main reason.
As a Christian, I have to disagree. Although I can't speak for everyone, I am not particularly concerned about death. And not just because I believe in God, but because it is just a part of life. Everyone dies, and so I have to do everything I can to maximize my time on Earth. Christians simple choose to follow God instead of atheists. That's all.
Religion did not come from man. I understand your argument, but it is based in the assumption that God was created. I believe, and others of course, that it is the opposite. God created us. Another point is that if it was man made, than how can the Bible have predicted things such as empires, dinosaurs, and other historical and scientific evidences. My point is that man made religions have massive, fundamental flaws within them. Buddhism, Hinduism, and other man made religions all have shaky beliefs that are contradictory. Fundamentally, Christianity is perfect, in the sense that it all works together and is not contradictory.
Mason Clutter are you for real?!? With the internet being so accessible in our age, are you truly unaware of contradictions in the bible?? As for perfect, i guess you haven't ever _tried_ at all, because anyone can see how hopelessly lacking your holy book actually is... :-|

zane amir
You have no idea what is possible or impossible when it comes to the creation of the universe because we have no way to study it. And that isn’t what atheism says. That is a complete straw man. Atheism is the null position on a single claim. Once you try to add something else to that, you are no longer talking about atheism.
RUSSIAN ROBOT
You are a moron that does even understand the definition of the words you use. You talk about truth but are completely ignorant. Atheism is the null position on the claim that gods exist. You yourself have said that you don’t believe in gods, so you are an atheist too. Everyone is either a theist or atheist. Those two terms only refer to what you BELIEVE. Gnosticism is about KNOWING. Most atheists are agnostic atheists because they don’t claim to KNOW that god’s don’t exist.

As a child I lived in abject fear of what would happen to me when I died. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. It wasn't the fear of hell I worried about, it was the idea of having to worship a god for all eternity, or the concept that I was stuck, as a product of my birth, to an eternity of consciousness. A world without beginning, without end, amen.
As my indoctrination wore of, I took great comfort in now knowing that there would be an end for me; that there was a beginning to the universe and that there will be an end, even if it is a few trillion years off. The knowledge of an end has given me great comfort, far more than any god could. A god who would cast me into a pit of fire for all eternity because I didn't worship him in exactly the right way while I was alive.
As for those who would say I have no morality because it can only come from a god I say: Who has a greater sense of morality? A person who does good things because they love their fellow man and want to contribute to the common good of others ; or, the person who does things because an invisible man in the sky is watching and to not do so will cast him or her into a lake of fire?
And if you think the bible is the gold standard of morality, you clearly haven't read the fucking thing.

Thank you for making and posting this. I first watched it some years ago and it was the catalyst that got me to start questioning my religious upbringing. I can now say I'm definitely the better for it.
Unfortunately this likely means you moved from one set of indoctrinated views to another. This video really shouldn’t have got you to question because there are so many misstatements in this video. A discerning person would have used this video more for a reason to question RGs views.
Questioning everything means you're doing life right, MasterQ. Excellent, top to bottom. Your fellow primate knows just as much about God(s) as you do, which is nothing. This is the first and most powerful truth that religious people need to understand, before moving forward.

Sounds good!
Funny thing for me is, back when I was a brainwashed christian for the first 35 years of my life is when I DID Fear death! lol!! Now as a sane Atheist, I do not fear death at all. That happen to anyone else?
Matter of fact, learning more about Science and SpaceTime and things like the Multi-Verse theory, instead of being scared of death, I'm kind of excited for it. The fact that we are made of the same stuff as a dead Star.......is amazing.
Carl Sagan got it right when he said "“We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.” and this too "It pays to keep an Open Mind, but not so open your Brain falls out.”"
@RUSSIAN ROBOT -- Show us this 'TRUTH' that you speak of. Do what every other religious person has failed to do, Prove that your specific "god" is the only REAL "god". Should be easy since you say you have the TRUTH on your side.
BTW, let me remind you that if you need "faith" to believe in your god, then your god is no different from all the other gods that you do not believe in.
@RUSSIAN ROBOT -- so basically, you admit that you cannot Prove your god. You admit that your "god" requires blind faith to believe in. So your god is no different than all the other gods that you yourself do not believe in. Glad we cleared that up.
"I contend we are both Atheists, I just believe in One fewer god than you do. WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DISMISS ALL THE OTHER POSSIBLE GODS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY I DISMISS YOURS." - Stephen F. Roberts
“Faith is the Excuse people give for believing something when they don’t have Evidence.” - Matt Dillahunty
I am not involved in the question of "growing up a human being", that's another issue, but as a physician i have to say something about belief and faith.
Since the very beginning of my medical education, i have been reading the anatomy, physiology, pathology, embryology, internal medicine and surgery sections (and so on) over and over and over again... Why? Because it's very hard to learn but quite simple to forget.
You just begin with the huge and thick anatomy books like Grey's, Sobotta or Netter. Arteries, veins, nerves, lymphatics, bones, cartilages, ligaments, fascias, muscles, organs and systems... Then you read physiology to learn "how it goes?" and pathology for "what happens if it doesn't go well?"
Exams, oral exams, practices, labs, electives... Congrats! You deserved it, my dear medical practitioner colleague!
If you want to learn further, you must get your residency within 4, 5 or 6 years more. Well done, you are a specialist.
For instance, as an "eye specialist" you treat patients with "glaucoma", "cataracts", "myopia", "optic neuritis", "dry eye" etc. But you forget many things about "pediatrics", "obstetrics" and "neurology". These things were your nightmares when learning them before.
I will tell you one amazing physiological fact, that you weren't aware of before... Your anal canal has two sphincters: the external and the internal. External sphincter is controlled voluntarily but the internal is involuntary-controlled. Why is that? Simple. Because, when your stool goes down in your colon, the internal one relaxes and warns you: "you must go to bathroom!" And when you are ready to defecate, you unloose your external sphincter. If it were involuntary, you would shit under your pants...
Billions and billions of knowledge and amazing processes that all of doctors learned and forgot, had been, has been, is and will be functioning...
How could it be possible that an involuntary mechanism leads to an intentional process? Is it supposed to be unconscious? Let's just say only one, but how about those hundreds of physiology mechanisms?
I respect your opinion, but I do believe in God, sir.
@Edward The Booble "What did it matter before we had pants?" That means you say: "it didn't matter when we hadn't pants before" (first of all, how do you know about the pants of the very first creatures, maybe they were using some clothes with swab or linen?). Ok, let's say it didn't matter and for a long time they all were naked and unconscious, the question remains still there, "how could it be possible - not only for one but for all of those mechanisms - that intentional processes take place?" Shouldn't have been driven unconsciously? Why is this "triggering" and conversion into precise improvement unlike the rule of entropy of the universe?
Incredulity?
1- Philosophy wields questions to ask much more, not to find a conclusion. "What is knowledge?" and "how is knowledge determined?'... Plato says "justified true belief", Kant says "a priori/a posteriori, synthetic/analytic"etc.. but there is no definite conclusion inside the philosophy.
How can it be possible to find "the most accurate" answer?
If you don't and can't know the answers of those questions above, when even the philosophy itself uses the term of "belief" in describing of the knowledge and the truth, how can you be "sure" of incredulity will present you the answer?
2- How about science? Is science more reliable and accurate than philosophy itself? If so, how much can you say the percentage is? One hundred percent? How can you justify the experiments entirely with your "subjective observation" or "accepted norms"?
We all human beings are made up of senses and feelings, in addition to brain and nervous system. Therefore, whatever the conclusion that you arrived at is, can not be doubtless.
That's why, we always say "belief". Not just for religion but for also philosophy or science, you believe or not, that's up to you.
What if I believed in God before medical school, does it make me credulous? Do you know how the process of believing was and is for me? I was born to a Muslim family, do I really need to abandon the religion before being incredulous and skeptic, or is it possible to ask questions anytime and everywhere? I am a human like everyone, I have so many questions about the earth, life, rules, accidents, justice and injustice, belief, truth and so on...
Whenever I look somewhere, I see an intention, a complicated but well-working modality. If you don't accept that, I'm ok with it,
But if you have a claim that includes any other possible solution without God, you may answer those questions above.
Sincerely.
Oh yeah, "I don't shit muh pants so gawd eixists". Very funny, do you not believe in evolution? Also, the human body isn't perfect, as you must know already, there is an organ that can kill you but has no purpose at all. The appendix, we don't even know if it's vestigial.

Tut tut tut. Tome for jones to get schooled again.
NO. The claim is "Gods were named and invented by man". Lets even grant you that applies to all gods that have ever been named by humanity. Even the ones that humans made up and named that we don't even know about.
How does that make it a claim that no gods exist?
You seem to be forgetting the prospect that there is a god that no human has ever conceived of. The question of humanity correctly identifying a god, the question of humanity making up and naming gods and the question of whether there is such a thing that would count as a god if we could concieve or even identify it, are separate questions.
This Jones, is just another example of how you rush in with an opinion, desparate to put others down, but all you do is cock it up.
Fallacy of composition. The claim that the status of "made up" applying to all gods conceived of by humans means that the claim also applies to all gods NOT conceived of by humans.
There are other flaws in your bungled attempt to assert that you are intellectually superior, but that will do for now.
Maybe you should stick to the socratic method?
Nicholas way to insert yourself when I asked a direct question to the OP and then you still add nothing.
He said “gods”, you try to limit this to gods that have been named, where did he limit it, as he didn’t. Gods means all gods and concepts of gods (because he didn’t limit it to named gods). So yes this said no gods exist to him. Which is fine. I just want to understand when he clearly admits that and may consider himself and atheist why he feels other atheists (like you) run and hide from this concept.
I already know you are intellectually stunted where it took forever for you to admit you believe god doesn’t exist (remember you said you had made up your mind that there was no god).

Just imagine a future where you live for eternity.... Why? What's the point? Just floating around in a state of bliss for ever and ever and ever. F*ck that. To die is final and much better. Eternal sleep and no wailing Christian creeps kissing the feet of the jesus dude.

Why would someone choose to believe in an all powerful creator 'father' who threatens to punish his creations 'children' for eternity if they didn't do exactly as he says. If this was a father punishing his children with extreme torture if they didn't do as he demanded we would all be up in arms and demanded he is sent to prison and locked up for life. It's just bizarre that so many people (believers) are happy with this.
Keith Lowe What a great point, thank you!
Keith Lowe Excellent logic
Actually, no. The karmic laws of causal effect after action, are true to physics as to spiritual matters. It is not a choice to believe that punishment will follow wrongdoing; and consequence in direct proportion to any cause: good or evil. It is perfectly reasonable (and it stands to pure logic) that if one is a jerk one will reap the hells of ostracism from the heaves of social joys. (It's really all allegorical.) Scriptures are only poetic ways to simplify the inescapable laws of cause and effect. And if you do not "believe' in them, that is what is a choice; as this fact is written all over the inner walls of common sense as proven by experience. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, in force relative to time and energy: pleasant thoughts and words and ideas yield likewise responses from people; negative ideas, bitter thoughts and hurtful words will likewise reap the thorny vine of that harvest. So it is really a causal and consistent thing. And it's a lot more universally reasonable than just some overblown superstition. Heaven and Hell are really absolute manifestations of boundless elation versus boundless suffering. They are not geographical locations where to experience eternal punishment or reward. They are states that dwell deep in the recess of sentient consciousness-reaping the fruit of its own free will. Heaven or Hell are the offspring of your Choices-and they happen here on Earth, hiding in plain view inside each and every one of us.
Laura Botero You just blew me away! Never once thought of that. Thank you.
@@GriethDay : Yeah, right.? :) The problem with all allegorical verse is that the habit of our literal minds is often unwilling to see the realities that are hidden in simple metaphor. :) So we misunderstand the form of the epic, not realizing the battle is within our own consciousness. Like the wise man said: "The Kingdom of God is Within You."
The battlefield is your flesh! :) - armies of pleasure that conspire against the highest manifestation of your ideal Self. Simple, really. And truly, what drunkard or sloth or jealous killer could argue against the fact tat that his fate is dark because of his own doing?:) It's always personal. And I'fe found that it is also a lot simpler than our fear proposes-granted we are willing to look inward: we are intimately linked to that elemental cause-we are its living consequence. The origin is hiding at the core of our truest selves (whatever that might be).
Chers, mate. And your pleasant words have made my day. (Cause and effect, again). :)

Ro Ems Not necessarily true, you can interpret one set of data in many ways which is why scientific theories throughout the past have been superseded. You’re making an equivocation by assuming science books represent the absolute truth, but you may actually find that completely different theories spring up. You’re being intellectually biased by applying a specific set of rules for one side of the court, and not following through on the opposing side.

How do strongly not believe in something?
Nicholas That's a simple question, I strongly do not believe in the zodiac signs but other people may believe some of it and other people may believe it is completely true. Believing in something is equivalent to not believing in something. there are Atheist who strongly disagree with the belief of any god and there are atheists who have their own personal reasons for not having a faith.
Big Macintosh
I think you are confusing belief with commitmemt to the tennents of that belief or, in the case for atheism, the strength of the reaction to the imposition of alternative beliefs.
Atheism does not address the indoctrimation of children by religions. Atheism addreses the existence of god. The reaction against religious indoctrination is nothing to do with atheism, it just shows someone has an understanding of human rights. Indocrination of children into anything (including religion) is wrong by definition.
And there are important differences between belief and non-belief, not least the burden of proof. They are not the same.
As for atheism, what is the difference between not beliving in god and really really not believing in god?
Atheism is not a belief. it is a lack of a belief. Would you claim not playing tennis is a sport? How about not collecting stamps being a hobby?
If there is a god, what stops you committing crimes? You realise that crimes are committed, right? So the existence of god doesn’t do anything. And you realise that believing in god doesn’t stop crimes? Look at all the Christians in prison. How did the Chinese or South American cultures come up with laws? Same for the Egyptians, Greeks and Roamans.
What you are presenting there is a tiered apologetic that has been long debunked. Maybe you should look at statistics for societal health and religiosity. And the superiority of secular morality.
What makes you think that purpose can only come form a god? You have no justification for that.
And human rights and compassion are not the basis of most religious belief. In the bible, what is the punishment for apostasy? How does that fit with freedom of religion? How should we treat homosexuals? Does the bible contain rules for owning slaves? Are the rules different for Jewish slaves? What did Jesus say about slaves? Are women property of their husbands? If your daughter is raped but the perpetrator is willing to pay the bride price and marry her, what does god say you should do? Why did god flood the world when the population exercised their human rights on freedom of religion? What happened to Catholics after the protestant reformation? How long did it take the Catholic Church to say the Jews were not responsible for the death of Christ?
And that’s just Christianity.

Christianity has bad news and good
news. But first the bad news
GOD sees everything. He knows your
secrets. GOD also hears what comes from your mouth.
"But I tell you, on the day of judgment people will have to give an
accounting for every careless or useless word they speak." (Matthew
12:36.)
Lying is wrong. Masturbation is wrong. Pornography is wrong. Heterosexual sex
before marriage is wrong is also wrong. Homosexuality/Lesbianism is wrong. Jesus
summed up the evilness of our hearts in this way:
For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder,
adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20These are
what defile a person. (Matt 15.19-20)
If you have committed fornication (and
I have myself), or broken any of the 10 Commandments, then you’re guilty of
breaking GOD’s Law, and therefore we all deserve conscious hell fire forever
(like the rest of mankind).
But GOD loves you and sent his sinless
Son to be tortured, and die on the Cross, taking the punishment for sinners. 3
days later, Jesus rose from the Grave.
You MUST turn from your sins (stop
sinning), and obey Jesus, and love him with
all your soul, heart, mind and
strength. Be reconciled with Christ!
“Seek
the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
7let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isa 55)
He calls on the name of the LORD will
be saved. (Romans 10:13)
If you became a Christian, you will
receive
1. forgiveness of sins, your sins and
guilt will be blotted out,
2. GOD himself will dwell inside you,
transform you, speak to you through the Bible and GOD Almighty will live His life through
you
3. God will remove your heart of stone
and give you a new heart and a new spirit, with new desires. GOD will rejoice
in doing you good.
4. your name will be written in the
Lambs book of Life,
5. you will enter the new Earth,
6. and you will see GOD's face.
7.. Being
filled with the Spirit, you'll be filled with love, joy, peace,
forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians
5:22-23)
Otherwise, you will be judged guilty,
and tortured forever.
This is true, whether you believe it or
not. Your blood be on your own head.
You’ve been lovingly warned. Now you
have no excuse for your sin.
I am a humanist which means be good to your fellow man & animals - I have met so called Christians which are the most horrible & narrow minded people & try to change your way of thinking - just leave me alone to be peaceful with my fellow beings
Susie Goodman. I agree. To quote Thomas More : “do no harm, say no harm, think no harm. That is enough to save a man”
Susie Goodman
Atheist humanist, agnostic humanist or secular humanist??
Which one are You?
@RUSSIAN ROBOT Man, you're just everywhere spreading your bullshit. We are human because that is the name we gave for our own species dumbass.
@RUSSIAN ROBOT My god, you are an annoying little shit.

Thank you, Ricky, for putting a reality perspective on this topic.
Kim Hope except he made over a dozen misstatements, so he put a regurgitated, indoctrinated spin on this topic that speaks to fellow indoctrinated individuals, but it’s not reality.
@@tjones5719 😂...yeah cuz it required mind to understand that which u lack .....maybe because your god forgot to place it in 🤓
I've struggled all my life with living. I don't believe in God.
and am genuinely looking forward to the big sleep.
I knew nothing before I was born..and I'll know nothing after death.
Why dont you believe in God?
I really want to have a conversation with this guy, I love the way he talks and his ideas.
Kato Vermeulen a freethinker
I was raised by two atheists but neither my mother or my father tried to convince me of their perception of Religion. They came from different religious backgrounds, one was raised as a Zwingli Protestant and the other as a Catholic Christian who became Atheists later on. I tried to find some sort of religiousness in my life but perhaps I'm too cynical too believe. I unable to have faith... that doesn't mean I'm a bad person.
alflurin not a bad person necessarily, but statistically it is likely you don’t care about others as much.
@@tjones5719 Name 1 statistic that proofs your claim.
Snaakie first you need to start learning to question your own beliefs and dogma - asking for statistics that prove my statement is incorrect and shows subconsciously you are protecting your beliefs by asking for a higher standard (proof). What you should ask for is evidence.
The evidence includes
1). gross-domestic-philanthropy-feb-2016.pdf (from cafonline). This shows that the individuals of a first world nation like the US (and fairly religious) give over triple (as a % of GDP) as all the atheistic Scandinavian countries (Finland, Sweden and Norway) combined.
2) The Philanthropy Round Table which focused on the US in one study shows that the religious on average give $4 to every $1 from the non religious to charity. (Religious even exceed the giving of no religious to purely secular causes). In addition religious volunteer 3 hours on average to every 1 hour of the non-religious.
@@tjones5719 That's all very convincing "evidence"...if you're an American Christian.
1. In what world is giving to charity a measurable characteristic for a good person?
Someone can be a child raping murderer and give thousands to charity at the same time. And a Buddhist can comment his whole life to helping others and not spend a single dime. There's simply no factual evidence of any relationship between charity and being a good person.
2. Up to 15% of US citizens considers themselves atheist. It's possible this 15% make up the biggest part of the amount that's given to charity.
3. One of the five pillars of the Islam is Zakāt: the practice of charitable giving to others. This is a must to every Muslim, but since it's so common and widespread, it's most likely not documented...making this list incomplete.
The list is all nice, but the conclusion you take out of it is your personal interpretation...
It's so funny to see your need for defending your religion.
I'm so dam happy to live in the Netherlands, where 55% of society couldn't care less about gods.
Snaakie
1) “in what world is giving to charity a measurable characteristic for a good person?” Seeing I made no such claim, you seem a bit off. I actually said “not a bad person necessarily, but statistically it is likely you don’t care about others as much.” Maybe stick to what I actually said.
“There’s no factual evidence of any relationship between charity and being a good person.” While I still take exception that I never said good person, this does show your close mindedness to information counter to your beliefs (you just can’t accept it). What this statement (and the one about Buddhists and rapists - was that what you said) says is that you are really looking for proof. That’s a standard you don’t use for anything in your life you believe in but it’s a way to hold a higher standard to the things you want to ignore or discount.
Because as far as evidence goes, giving time and money to others is an indication of wanting to help. Are you saying that all people who give time and talent are not doing it to help others? Because that is what you would need to mean to discount this as not being evidence. You are very illogical in your thinking.
2. You saying it’s “possible” is an opinion (desperate one at that) not evidence. Provide me evidence...oh wait a minute, I already did. The Philanthropy Round Table data specifically deals with the US and alas, no, atheists are not giving on average as much. Nice desperate try to maintain your uninformed bias.
3) Why are you bringing up Islam? You realize that any giving undocumented by Muslims would actually further bolster my case if it was documented, right?
“...is your personal interpretation.” Actually no. I said “...don’t care as much about others.” The data supports this conclusion. Look at it, I didn’t say didn’t care at all, I didn’t say you couldn’t be a non believer and still care about others (statistically that is still valid). You really are trying to make up what I said.
“It’s so funny to see your need for defending your religion.” Another view at your faulty beliefs and bias. I don’t have a religion, I’m not a theist. I was only pointing out the incompleteness of your statement.
You didn’t finish your sentence “...where 55% of society couldn’t care less about gods or their fellow humans (statistically speaking).”
Religion was needed to keep people in line before legal systems
S Toby so that would assume it had an overriding societal purpose and benefit and still has some of that same benefit. That’s an interesting take you have there.
"Before legal systems" as in now those days are gone. Religion is dying as common sense takes over. Not a moment too soon either, just got to wait for the general population of three large continents to catch up, they'll be kicking and screaming as they go no doubt. The power indoctrination indoctrination indoctrination
Si Wilson you sound just like a famous atheist
“The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble. All that's left is to prove that in nature there is no frontier between the organic and the inorganic. When understanding of the universe has become widespread, when the majority of men know that the stars are not sources of light but worlds, perhaps inhabited worlds like ours, then the Christian doctrine will be convicted of absurdity."
If you really think that people will keep other people in check, you’re naive.
Only in genuine faith, namely the Christian faith, do you have people’s egocentric, fallen nature challenged and called to better themselves.
And yes...I know what you’re going to say: “ReLiGiOuS pEoPlE kIlLeD pEoPlE aNd StArTeD wArS”
That is a specific case of someone *rejecting* that core teaching; to better yourself, but still claim to be Christian. So no, it’s not a valid claim to say that those who failed to live up to the example of a true Christian, therefor refute Christianity.

Love the video, and wholeheartedly agree, thanks for the upload.
do you agree because its more convenient to your lifestyle?
No, I agreed because the more I read the bible being born into a devout Christian family, the more questions I had and the more I became disillusioned with the religion. What lifestyle are you referring to? I work with children, have never been arrested, and am not confused in the slightest where my morals and sense of right and wrong come from. Do you assume that I am no longer a Christian because I wanted to live a depraved lifestyle? Do you think that Ricky Gervais, a successful, well liked, and respected individual is a bad person because he does not worship the same god you do? If your god was the true god wouldn't he deny the fame and wealth Mr. Gervais has earned? If you say he wouldn't then you haven't read your bible because over the course of the new and old testament god has personally put to death himself, or empowered a figure from the bible to kill more than 24,000,000 people including entire cities, men, women, and children. If you believe in that book, more power to you, but that's your prerogative, and I didn't approach you saying what you believe was wrong, but i agreed with someone who said they don't believe in it. Don't attack me because somewhere in your mind my disbelief plants the seeds of disbelief in you, pissing you off.
"Don't attack me" A little dramatic don't you think?
I was merely stating that many people often become atheistic, because it serves their lifestyle drinking, porn, sex outside of marriage, watch violent films... don't have to answer anyone. Morality is a completely different kettle of fish. But yes atheists don't have a basis for morality.
I wasn't saying don't attack me, I was saying that before you question me and how I live my life you need to be better informed. First of all saying that atheists don't have a basis for morality is one of the most nonsensical statements you can make. Both before and after the bible was written, or as far as you're concerned "came into being" cities and civilizations, hell even small villages of people came together and agreed upon conduct that was acceptable and that which isn't. Ever hear of Hammurabi's code? It's the oldest known written set of laws that has ever been found and predates the bible. It's the Anarchist that doesn't want to have to answer to any kind of moral compass, not the atheist. Of the 620 commandments distributed throughout the bible most are inane dubious commandments like death for working on sunday, death for eating anything from the sea that isn't fish, death for trimming your beard or cutting your hair, if you rape a girl and she's a virgin you have to marry her, and death for wearing garbs or clothes made from 2 types of materials. My point is before you point out what atheists do and do not do, maybe you should actually talk to an atheist or listen to what one of them is saying. Even from your list, everyone in the bible drank wine, porn and violent films aren't forbidden anywhere in the bible, and premarital sex is only forbidden to women. Oh, and men aren't supposed to learn anything from a woman for that matter.
why is the prospect of nothing more frightening than the prospect of being tortured for all eternity?
How about heaven for eternity
