@@DanMason2025 Poor dan, it's great that he can't show what he has a doctorate in, or where he got it. He's simply one more ignorant cultist who thinks his lies to appear as an authority work. It's even better when these cultists claim to worship a god that hates lies and liars. Alas, for poor Dan, even if you lie *For* this god, it's a bad thing. Do check out Romans 3. Paul is quite clear about that. "Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? 2 Much, in every way. For in the first place the Jews[a] were entrusted with the oracles of God. 3 What if some were unfaithful? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? 4 By no means! Although everyone is a liar, let God be proved true, as it is written, ‘So that you may be justified in your words, and prevail in your judging.’ 5 But if our injustice serves to confirm the justice of God, what should we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) 6 By no means! For then how could God judge the world? 7 But if through my falsehood God’s truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? 8 And why not say (as some people slander us by saying that we say), ‘Let us do evil so that good may come’? Their condemnation is deserved!"
I would like to say that this is the most biased load of nonsense I’ve seen lately, but nonsensical videos like these seem to come around almost daily now…
Atheism is only the answer to one question: 'Do you believe in god?' Now, then, lets see, what does a PhD in Public Policy & Administration even mean? Well, it seems to be an advanced degree to help give a person an understanding of public policy theory, research, ethics, and practice in a global context. Oh, so you should be good at research, yet this video is not very well researched. "materialism, relativism, social Darwinism and secularism are all part of atheism" Those positions are not held by every atheist. Myself, I reject Social Darwinism, as the beliefs associated with Social Darwinism were discredited during the 20th century, as the increasing knowledge of biological, social, and cultural phenomena does not support its basic tenets. "religious rituals include" and you listed things that again, not every atheist holds to. You do understand there are anti-abortion atheists right? This objective morality rant is nothing more than your personal feelings towards morality, thus proving that morality is subjective. Moral codes clearly do change over time. For one example the torture and burning of possible witches in 17th Century Europe can be seen as either a supreme act of morality or as the product of evil incarnate, depending on one's perspective. Religious moral systems tend to be absolutist and ignore the importance of context and consequences (for example, in certain circumstances, a lie might have better all-round consequences than telling the truth). Morality, in practice, is necessarily a function of social interactions and human communities and, in modern ethnically, culturally and religiously diverse communities, there is no longer a single set of religious principles and traditions which community leaders can unthinkingly rely upon for crafting public laws or standards. The Argument from Values or Moral Absolutes rests on an indefensible premise: that moral absolutes require a god. The very existence of living, breathing atheists who follow moral absolutes seems in itself to negate the claim. Confucius, founder of the ancient atheistic religion of Confucianism, stated his own version of the so-called “Golden Rule” - do not impose on others what you would not choose for yourself - some five centuries before Jesus was teaching a very similar ethical code. Similar formulations are also found in the works of Isocrates, Diogenes Laertius, Epictetus and in the Mahabharata, and it can be argued the Golden Rule is essentially a derivative of the basic principle of reciprocal altruism dating back to our Paleolithic ancestors. Moral absolutes, then, arise not from some divine edict, but from common-sense societal rules established over the millennia to safeguard communities and ensure their efficient continuation. Take a look at Secular Humanism, as it posits that human beings are capable of being ethical and moral without religion or belief in a deity. It does not, however, assume that humans are either inherently good or evil, nor does it present humans as being superior to nature. As a Secular Humanist my morals are simply put: decrease harm, increase well being. Secular Humanism frames morality as not causing unnecessary pain, harm, or suffering; easing or relieving the pain or suffering; comforting those who are vulnerable or weak; working to increase health, happiness, and well-being in our families, communities, and society at large; fighting for fairness and justice; being empathetic and compassionate; being honest, conscientious, and caring; treating people the way in which we ourselves would want to be treated.

@@DanMason2025 Just like theism, atheism is nothing but your position on one single topic. There are atheistic religions and world views, just like there are theistic religions and world views, but neither theism nor atheism is anything but your position on whether you believe that there is at least one god or not. Anything else is optional and not part of theism/atheism.
If you have to repent you already did something immoral so your beliefs don't change a thing. The only difference: there is no accountability and justice in Christianity. When you are a friend of the judge you will get your get-free-out-of-jail card and go to heaven...
@@DanMason2025 that's the point: we don't make false and foolish claims about morality, justice and accountability. If we get caught, justice has it's course. If we get away with it, we are lucky. If we feel accountability and sorry, we say sorry to the victim, not a god. Christians: "a repenting SA-ist will go to heaven but if the victim is an atheist she will go to hell". Where did morality, justice and accountability go? Straight out the window.
@@DanMason2025 Hate for god? Do you hate Allah, Vishnu and Thor? What about Zeus? How can we hate something we lack a belief in by lack of evidence and clear false claims from the believers? I hate the influence of belief in gods on society, so also on non believers. See, I don't care what you believe or which rules and morals you connect to it as long as it doesn't influence me. But that's the problem with religions: you can't keep us out of it.
@@DanMason2025 Quite well. There is continued research in the most likely environments for abiogenesis and how cells may have formed. So, where is that evidence that your imaginary friend exists, Dan? You can't even show that you have any kind of degree, nor can you do what jesus promised to his true followers. Per your own bible you are quite a fraud. All you have are a set of incompetently done videos on failed apologetics.
that's the same AI voice that sends out raunchy morning TikTok videos. To hear it talk about morality made me laugh pretty hard
