"Craft a message"? Stanley is more a Twister of Scripture. Not once in this did he speak of studying in context and give examples of how to find the meaning. Not once did he offer citations of known quality expositors of scripture or places to go study to mine out the meanings of scripture. Not once does he encourage people to study deeper in a way to become close with God. But what he does offer are his own strawman arguments and assessments and his own philosophy of life then goes full speed and in an uncaring manor to twist Gods plain word to make scripture say something that it actually doesn't say. Beware of this wolf in sheeps clothing.

Wow so scary she looks like demon possessed look at her eyes

She’s a joke

Christianity, even more than other religions, is a bridge of reinforcing statements, teachings, doctrines, history, and systematized theology. There are many places in the supporting members where a weakness can bring the whole structure down. The internet has provided a forum for scholars and students to discuss the texts of the Bible, the actions of the leaders, the developing theology subsequent to the last selection and editing of the Bible, etc. Scholars and students have found the Bible and the Christian faith it spawned to be so rotten that the entire project has to be scrapped. Deconstruction is evaluation and recommendation, just as it is in engineering. The New Atheism is not in decline. The leaders have created a body of intellectual best-practices that the next generations will be using in a wave of secular humanism. The silver lining for Christian churches is that members who want to live in an alternate reality will be concentrated in them and will have all the benefits of tribalism.

We have To remember that there is nothing new under the Sun and the Blood of Jesus has the power to Change anyone. The problem is we cant counsel a demon spirit it has to be cast out first and then you counsel the person so they won't invite that spirit back in. the person will know how to recognize the fruits of that Spirit and resist it....

Why do Christians feel they need to apologize for their religion? Oh wait read the Bible and you will see why a god can't be real.

I'm an Atheist still. Recognizing that Transgender Americans exist isn't a religion. Cats exist too. Is that a religion now?

Platt destroyed McLean Bible Church (MBC) and is living in an exclusive expensive neighborhood and has probably raked in millions in income and tax shelters. He threatened a Christian wife, mother, and missionary with arrest and jail in after she raised suspicious financial and contractual dealings. He wasted millions of dollars of congregational dollars to fight legal-probes demanding financial and operational transparency. He asks speaking fees of 20,000 to tell you to impoverish yourself. Much of this is now out in court records.

Thirty minutes of cope. No 'rebirth in belief in god' and no decline in 'atheism' DERP

It is always disheartening to witness adults clinging so strongly to beliefs instilled in them during childhood. In a neutral context, atheism would naturally be the default stance: withholding belief in any deity until convinced otherwise. However, Christianity has historically held cultural sway, indoctrinating children before they could develop critical thinking or skepticism. The religion itself fortified this with mechanisms to discourage questioning, effectively trapping adults with fears of societal rejection in this life and damnation in the afterlife. A notable scene from the 1981 film "The Right Stuff," based on Tom Wolfe's book, illustrates this societal pressure. During a press conference, the original Mercury astronauts, when asked about their religious affiliations, awkwardly affirm their Christian faith to widespread approval. The message was clear: America wanted its heroes to be just like them: Christian. America's Christian dominance made atheism taboo, marginalizing non-believers from public office, employment, and even family acceptance if they didn't "carry the cross." Consequently, many skeptics, including clergy, feigned Christian adherence. The internet has been pivotal in changing this landscape. It provides a platform for skeptics to explore their doubts privately and connect with others in similar situations. This has facilitated the process of "deconversion" and enabled atheists to openly express their views without isolation. The advent of "new atheism," coinciding with the internet age, unleashed pent-up interest in these discussions. Many atheists came forward, unafraid to voice their disbelief, contributing to a rise in those identifying as "nones" while traditional church attendance declined sharply. Atheism, devoid of doctrine or faith, lacks a unified movement beyond supporting each other and combating persistent cultural biases against non-Christians. Post-"new atheism," many have moved on from their former beliefs without dwelling on them, suggesting a future where Christianity's cultural dominance wanes and labels like "atheism" become unnecessary. As Christianity loses its grip, a small minority will identify as Christians while the majority will simply be themselves. This shift reflects broader societal changes towards greater acceptance of diverse beliefs and identities.

Churches of all kinds of denominations and religions create more atheists every year than atheists do. There's no decline in 'new atheism'. There's a decline in religion. You know why? Cause evangelicals prove day after day that their faiths, beliefs and religion mean nothing. Absolutely nothing! Hatred is all you idiots know and that's what will end up killing religion.

I always wondered, how someone convinces himself that all of this is by random chance?

Atheism is just an opinion and not even a smart one 🤣

Nobody describes themselves as a 'New Atheist'. As Alex O'Connor has mentioned before, it was more of a publishing term than anything. The decline of the use of the label says nothing of the nature of the values people hold, which (in Britain anyway) are increasingly secular. Framing such superficial observations as a decline in atheism is merely an attempt to restore short-term emotional satisfaction.

Few of the atheistic blind beliefs: We always observe hundreds of spiecies dying out while no new ones emerge at the same time. The ratio of dying out versus emerging new spiecies since we record history is ALL OF IT to ZERO, but people believe that somehow natural selection creates new spiecies by random chance lol We always observe mutations as harmful to health. There was never a case when doctor said: "Great, you have a genetic disease. Everything will be much, much better for you from now on sir". The ratio of negative versus positve mutations since we record history is ALL OF IT to ZERO, but people believe random mutations give positive traits to human body lol We always observe mind behind encoded information. There was never a case when software engineer typed random string of code into TXT file, then changed it's extension to EXE and after execution some type of working software emerged. The ratio of designed encoded information versus unintended encoded information is ALL OF IT to ZERO, but people believe that somehow DNA encoded itself by random chance lol Atheism is just a cult of physical impossibilities. Nothing created everything etc. etc.

This is what atheists think on how Christianity started lol 🤣 czcams.com/video/23UNLLbOS3w/video.html

Atheists think if more people will become atheists, then atheism will become truth lol 🤣 Just because more people now believe in inifnite amount of genders, that doesn't mean there is more then two, hahaha 🤣

What rebirth of belief?? A bunch of fundamentalist are getting views on CZcams; that doesn't mean theistic belief is rising in any significant numbers. There is no new evidence for a god--it's just the same old claims.

Atheism is so cringe Atheists are obsessed about God. They just can't live without God. God is the most important thing in their life. All they do all the time is to talk about God and how much they hate it. It's a sign on insanity. Can you imagine a non-golfer commenting on every single video about golf? Telling how much he hates golf and golfers? Explaining to everyone he doesn't understand why golfers like to play golf? etc, etc. Why can't they see how silly miiltant atheism is? Pure cringe

“In fact, "atheism" is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a "non-astrologer" or a "non-alchemist." We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.” ― Sam Harris, Letter to a Christian Nation

"Decline of the New Atheism" LMAO In US, atheism grew from under 5% to almost 20% in the last decade. Christianity is dying out. The net change of religions due to religious conversion by Pew Research Center between 2010 and 2050. Religion Switching in Switching out Net change Religiously Unaffiliated 97,080,000 35,590,000 +61,490,000 Islam 12,620,000 9,400,000 +3,220,000 Folk religions 5,460,000 2,850,000 +2,610,000 Other religions 3,040,000 1,160,000 +1,880,000 Hinduism 260,000 250,000 +10,000 Judaism 320,000 630,000 -310,000 Buddhism 3,370,000 6,210,000 -2,850,000 Christianity 40,060,000 106,110,000 -66,050,000

Iam still laughing and you still tyring to proof your God. Nothing changed.

If you want me to believe in a book that endorses slavery, subjugation of women, and child abuse. You better give me some evidence, until then the evil that you guys adhere to will ultimately be your cults downfall, hopefully sooner than later

my ranked teammates

Professional wishful thinking on display

this take seems a bit online to me: what is Richard Dawkins saying; what is Jordan Peterson saying etc. the real question is what are ordinary people actually doing? is there evidence of a decline in atheism or an upswing in religion?

Decline?

I love when people who know nothing about even the simple definition of atheist still don’t know what it means yet want to talk about it as if they do. You should interview me if you want a real discussion.

Men losing their purpose? Are you saying that men with less misogyny, less patriarchal tendencies, and more intelligence have become purposeless? With purposeless, do you mean, less animal?

18% of Americans identify as both non-religious and non-spiritual. That number is up from 9% in 1999. How is atheism on the decline?

I am Cultural Christian. Translation: My lingering religious stench comes from the Christian Church. Examples: PTSD towards images of Hell, traces of guilt towards sex, disproportionate excitement when a Pope shows on TV, etc.

Decline? New Atheism won and moved on. Now atheists speakup (instead of ignoring) when stupid titles like this show up, and christian leaders cry because The Church is shrinking.

Belief in God is down, church attendance is down. The lack of popularity of a new public intellectuals is meaningless.

Christianity gives people permission and reasons to hate. Hence the rise of God Emperor Trump's MAGA creed.

Christians: **Stop killing and shaming any self-identified Atheists for 20 seconds. Also Christians: Hey, where'd all these New Atheists come from?

the intellectually dishonest twists that theists tie themselves into.

Holy nonsense. Why do you think your book is more that delusional thoughts or a deliberate attempt to decieve?

@9:19 Other beliefs are just shadows of the thing I believe in, which is the truth! Even he couldn't contain his smile.

Being an atheist isn’t a movement. It is a non belief. We are individuals. But the reality is that more than half of the people in the uk do not have a religious belief.

Copium

Until you present evidence for god, the decline of new atheism means nothing.

"New atheism", also known as "atheism"

the tenets of the satanic temple: I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason. II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

doesn't god do this individually? or is god being personal mean something else? everyone seems to assume satan is going to be horrid. if i go to hell then GOD is "punishing me" for my sins, but why would satan want to punish me too? satan despises christians. if i'm being punished by satan, then satan is doing god's work - that makes zero sense. hell is more likely to be eternity having more fun than you ever could on earth, this is what god hates, heaven will just be eternal worship, satan is SAVING you from an eternity of boredom and slavery. i see no reason why hell wouldn't be a great place to be, no mind control, commandments to follow, just eternal life that you can probably quit if you get bored with learning guitar from hendrix or trying to grasp relativity from einstein. why would hell be undesirable? why would satan want to torment me - he detests god and christians, not sinners.

what does god need DNA for? he makes blokes from dirt and chicks from ribs. and what does he need the higgs for? just to fool me into thinking he's maybe not real? there is no god, no one is bringing a train set for christmas.

i wouldn't bother mate, you can't get anything right anymore, christians can be gay, christians can be drag queens, christians can need abortions, whoever you call sinner these days you lose half your audience, thank goodness, religion has RUINED BILLIONS of lives with it's accusations and guilt shaming, time to go.

i have to say i love this channel, i love these little no one is interested channels cos if i'm the only commenting plenty of people can see how the talking snake and donkey cult is ridiculous, not to mention immoral. anyone who says god has the right to kill everyone on the planet, no trial, no jury, one unspecified crime of "sin" and one sentence, to burn for eternity - after being drowned of course - they are sick people who ought to re-evaluate their humanity. christians are horrible people.

and just a quick reminder that the first amendment conflicts with the first commandment "thou shalt worship whoever you want" and that the declaration of human rights gives ME more rights than god. and a history lesson cos the USA is a secular nation, not many people seem to know that, and the founding fathers were at best deists and certainly not christian. hitchens became a naturalised american purely because of the constitution. the UK is officially christian, the US is officially secular. is it annoying that the satanic temple has the SAME RIGHTS as the church?

on the one hand we have a god who is sophisticated enough to create a universe using extremes of physics, chemistry, biology and quantum mechanics, a universe that is finely tuned to one part in zillions, with humans designed to have the smallest of biological machines to regulate the workings of our bodies, not to mention the uncountable operations our brain carries out every moment, and the intricacies of consciousness, but you want me to believe that his person also thought nailing his son to a tree was a good idea. religists are crazy people.

i think someone is living in cloud cuckoo land, pew polls predicted christianity will be a minority by 2050, and the numbers fall faster every time they do a new poll, gallup agrees - new atheism isn't even a thing to decline, but it's the church that is emptying out and they can't all be going over islam.
