      There's no such thing as an Agnostic when it comes to belief. Gnosis deals with knowledge. Theism deals with belief. You either believe or you don't. You either know or you don't. 2 different subjects. There's Gnostic and Agnostic theists, and Gnostic and Agnostic atheists.

      John 3:16-20 (READ IT ALL)
      . 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
      18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
      20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

      @@achangedman2723 Christians are a majority on this planet, I'm sure most christians are not considered stupid or crazy. They aren't either. Majority of Christians are perfectly normal human beings. The only thing that differ them from other humans is that their parents happened to be christians so their children adopted the same beliefs in majority of cases. Obviously for evolutionary purposes.
      What countries are we talking about where christians are being persecuted? Are we talking about western countries? Or is it in other religious countries where there's ethnic wars rooted in religion? I do know that there's alot of problems between muslim and christian tribes in African countries. I'm pretty certain any non muslim people also are persecuted in many arabic countries. This is one of the the primary negative things athesists see in religion. Alot of conflicts and wars throughout history unfortunately are rooted in Religion where the driving cause behind the trauma is the beliefs themselves. In the west though, I don't believe Christians are persecuted. The only ethnicity that borders on persecution is Muslims who're being targeted by rightwing forces and Jews being targeted by muslims in compromised slum areas all over the west. Christian persecution is more of a problem in developing countries where they are the minority religion.
      When you say that you are being persecuted because you believe in a creator of the earth it really sounds like you're saying that it's Atheists who are persecuting and hunting down Christians. I really hope you're not making that assumption. Religious persecution is almost exclusively done by either other religions or by tyrranical dictatorships like China. Atheists aren't hunting down and killing Christians because of their faith. That's predominantly done by muslims in Africa.
      Now to your question:
      How can I disprove there is a god or a creator? Unfortunately, I can't. No one can. This is a philosophical issue. It's impossible to disprove negative. I can try to use logical deductions to try and disprove attributes that you subscribe to your god. That's easy.
      But I will NEVER be able to disprove that there's any god or gods, it's philosophically impossible because you can't disprove the existence of something that doesn't exist.
      In the same vein that I can't disprove the existence of a god or a creator, neither can I disprove the existence of ghosts, or santa clause, or bigfoot. How am I supposed to disprove those things? I can try go looking for them, but maybe they're just hiding from me? Do you understand the point?
      It's simply impossible to disprove the existence of something that doesn't exist. To disprove something you need to be able to collect data and make estimates. Unfortunately, we can't collect information about something that doesn't exist, so we can't make any assumptions about it.
      I'll throw the same question back to you. Can you disprove the existence of a 8 ft giant invisible bear standing right behind you in this moment? You can't. You can tell me it's unlikely, which I would agree with, but you can't disprove the existence of this bear. Maybe this bear always is watching over you, but I've created this bear in such a way that you never really can observe it. This kinda is like your god and creator. You've created this figure and subscribed naturalistically impossible abilities to it making sure that no one in this universe can make any observations off it, just like my invisible bear that's standing behind you right now.
      When you're saying: Disprove the existence of god to me, all I'm hearing is - "Disprove the existence of Santa Clause, or Goblins, or Centaurs, or Giant invisible bears". I can't disprove that, it's impossible. As soon as we start incoorporating impossible physical attributes and magic into the picture, like you do with gods and other mythical figures, it exists the realm of the natural world and we're unable to make any predcitions.
      The more important question should instead be: "Is it the existence of a large invisible bear likely?" Now this is a question we can answer, and obviously the answer is no. Now, is the existence of a god or creator likely? Considering there's alot we don't understand about physics and our universe right now, a god might be a solution to those unanswered questions. However, personally I don't find the existence ofa god likely. I find it irrational and illogical. Nothing in this universe indicates that there's a personal god who has created everything. All the physical constants in the world, the random behaviour of quantum mechanics, the volatile nature of particle physics, the random nature of gene transcription and nucleic acid basepairing et.c. The list goes on. All these biological, mathematical and physical systems are too chaotic and too random to have been thought up by a god. To me, a creator would aim to make systems as simple as possible. Beauty lies in simplicity. The physical laws and nature that govern our universe are the complete opposite of simple. The numbers we observe in our universe is the exact result we would predict of god rolled dice.
      No, we cannot create something from nothing. That's a physical law and constant in our universe. It's usually known as the first law of thermodynamics and an entropic property of our world. However, it's not atheists who claim that you can create something from nothing.
      It's you guys who do.
      You are the people who claim that a God created the entire universe out of nothing with magic.
      First of all, the unvierse is impossible big. You really should look into a video on youtube to show you how large our unvierse is. To say that there's no other planets in our universe with life is very ignorant. We've not yet discovered or observed a tenth of 1% of the unvierse by now. Cosmologists know nothing about the gazzillions of planets in our unvierse. The probability that there's other planets in our universe with earthlike conditions is almost 100% certain. Problem is, these planets might be billions of lightyears away from us so we will never know.
      When talking about planets in our proximity, why aren't there any planets like ours that we can observe? The simple answer is because all planets are unique. Earthlike life requires very specific very specific conditions. First of all, you require a planet with large amounts of organic matter. This includes Coal, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen. Second, you require a specific type of climate that can act as a cataclyst to spark abiogenesis and spontaneous formation of biological matter as energy is induced between matter to create strong bonds between particles. For there to be earthlike life aswell, the planet requires huge amounts of water and a variable temperature that's hot enough to spark chemical reactions(But not too hot causing it to damage the particles) but also cool enough to make the compounds settle after a reaction has happened.
      This is very specific conditions and only earth has these conditions, that we know off. There are planets with water in the unvierse, we've seen them. But the tempreature or the availability of organic coal is limited which simply makes it impossible for earthlike life to spawn there.
      Now, I already know what you're thinking: "Isn't it amazing that god finetuned this planet with the perfect conditions so we could live here?"
      That's the wrong way of thinking, atleast for a scientists or anyone with a degree in biology. Accodring to evolution and naturalistic principles, this planet wasn't designed in this way so we could live here. Instead, we evolved in a way to perfectly fit this planet. Most theists are basing their logic from the wrong angle. So to answer the question of why there's no other planets with life like ours. It's simply because to this date, we haven't found any other planet in the universe with conditions like ours. This goes for every planet. All planets are unique. We haven't found any planet or celestial object that got the same conditions like Mars, Venus or Jupiter either. Asking why we haven't found any planets with trees in the unvierse is a very weird thing to ask. It's like asking why chinese people don't give birth to black people. To find another planet with earthlike life, you need to first find a planet with conditions similar to earth.

    I honestly think that people didn't get the gist of his message or the whole reason why he introduced himself as an atheist and not a Christian first. After watching the whole video, what I took from it was that he did this to show or test how we Christians react to other people's believes. I feel it was to test how well we can love even while we may not be comfortable with what we're seeing or hearing. And that christians should be more loving in their approach to others who do not share the same faith. Now, I'm saying all these things because I still see people in the comments below, openly abusing each other even though the whole point of the video was love.
    I'm a Christian, and I normally don't like commenting on social media because of the very reason that people are unnecessarily mean especially when it gets to the topic of religion. There's a way to get your point across without insulting one another and it seems a lot of people not just Christians do not understand this. I think we should learn how to communicate especially at this time period.

    Y'all could have just gotten a real atheist. We aren't all monsters. I'm not mad about it, but y'all missed a real opportunity to connect. My family are atheists and I've lived my whole life surrounded by Southern Baptists, Adventists, Church of God, Methodists and Lutherans. My dad was raised Dutch Calvinist and I went to a Catholic School. Literally everyone else in my life is a Christian. But bc it never came up, it wasn't until High School and the biology teacher, Father Pat, started talking about how the Pope my friends discovered I was an atheist, all of a sudden the dialogue changed. The first questions I got were about nihilism and morality. If I had given this talk, I wouldn't have just launched in with facts. I would have told the kids about how I spend my day and where I find meaning. You tell these kids they're gonna see their very first rhinoceros and you bring in a pig covered in football pads, wrapped up in leather with a plunger stuck to his muzzle. There's a bunch of ex-evangelicals on CZcams who stress that this casual dismissal of those with different belifs just rubbed them the wrong way. That your kids are leaving the church because you're jerks. In my day to day life, I'm the minority. You guys are REALLY bad tippers, btw. Most servers spit in the food when churches come in.

I used to be skeptic, and it was these kind of challenging discussions that drove me to seek God, and by His grace, eventually find Him.

I gotta hand it to them, not all Christians are willing to truly seek the truth in their faith. We as Christians definitely will encounter more and more authentic conversations with real atheists and real people of other beliefs further along in the future, but until then, I think this was at least a good step forward in helping those kids truly see if they believe in Christ because they have sought for the truth in their faith and the truth in the Christian God or if they believe simply because it's just religious dogma that was indoctrinated in them. Experiences like this, though flawed in some areas (I mean, it's not easy arguing against your own beliefs, but he still tried, man) help us as Christians be more willing to be placed in uncomfortable situations to both learn how to defend our faith and share the Gospel with others genuinely. Also, they're just kids, we gotta start somewhere and transition as we go!

      Mm, I get it. Assuming you're an atheist (please correct me if I'm wrong), putting myself in your shoes, I understand how it's frustrating when someone doesn't accurately represent what you think and know to be true, it can feel like slander. As a Christian, I also feel this all the time ( just the amount of media in the mainstream that ridicules us or misinterprets our beliefs/motives) so I see where you're coming from about "false witness" and can empathize with you on that. But I don't think this is a false witness at all. A false witness would be like deliberately omitting the truth with malicious intent to further personal gain--which is what I think you're assuming of this man, according to your statement. However, I don't think that's the case if you watch him explain his motive at the end of the video where he reveals his true identity.
      Based on his statements, It seemed that:
      1) He wanted to see how these students, as professing Christians, would approach unbelievers in conversations like this (he particularly addresses their behaviour at once by asking them what they feel talking to the pseudo-atheist), by explicitly saying he wanted to see them act more cordially rather than defensive--which shows he wants them to treat atheists with respect and not ridicule--thus showing he has no mal-intent.
      2) He wants them to be able to believe in God genuinely based on him saying "I believe in God because I genuinely believe it's true, not because it makes me feel good or because my parents told me to," and is thus actually seeking the truth in His faith and has sought the truth in His faith AND seemed to have found it, as well. Also, personally, as much as possible, I wouldn't want to pass that kind of character judgement on anyone based on this first impression alone. If you want to discern his motives just to be sure perhaps you can look him up as well?
      Nevertheless, I rest assured that I don't think he's making a mockery of atheists if this is what you were worried about. Perhaps his representation is flawed, but again, based on his stated motives and the message he sought to get across at the end, I don't think it was driven by a need to make fun of atheists. I know we as Christians can, unfortunately, tend to come off as judgemental at times but in my eyes at least, I think this experience was eye-opening for those youngsters and even for me too and it even makes me want to understand where you guys are coming from more than anything--which can again lead to conversations that will truly represent you guys.

If a person was raised by wolves from birth and goes to a city and kills someone he is still charged under the full strength of the law because judges know he has a conscience.

So the Nazis were trained first by making friends with innocent puppies and then being forced to break their necks. They repeated this over and over till killing humans meant nothing. The Bible refers to this as (I Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron)

      @@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 Right and Wrong are not objective descriptions of reality but rather a subjective human experience driven by emotions and hormones.
      You can't measure "goodness" the same way you can measure mass, acceleration, force, and momentum.
      Goodness, like Beauty, Value, Taste, Pain, etc. are human experiences that happen when the brain processes physical sensations.
      Then you might ask, why do humans have morality, why evolution would make that?
      1) evolution is not sentient, its a name given to a natural process - the process of mutilation and variation of offspring, in addition to the fact that offspring that fit their habitat more have a better chance of reproducing.
      2) Morality/Empathy does have an evolutionary advantage:
      - humans are weak alone
      - humans are strong together
      - humans without empathy can't work together well
      - humans who evolved a bit of empathy worked better
      (we see this in some social animals as well, wolves care for their pack, some for other social animals that live in packs, they feel empathy for others from the same pack. The human pack was a family unit too, that is why you feel more empathy towards your family. In addition, since humans generally live in larger group they have a lesser pack that is called a 'tribe' - or in modern times, a nation, people, or culture)
      - over hundreds of generations, the entire species had empathy.
      - As we can clearly see, empathy allows us to create and build society. Without it, people would do so much crime that society would collapse
      - without society, most of us would die and
      - Conclusion: Empathy is an evolutionary advantage
      Morality stems from the feelings of empathy we have for
      Mostly: family and close friend
      Secondly: Our 'tribe' (nation, culture, religion, etc.)
      Thirdly: Other humans we see as humans
      That is why in all wars the sides dehumanize the other side, to reduce empathy which makes it easier to kill.

      MORALS
      We all agree evil exists like rape, murders, genocides, Abusing innocent Children etc. If evil exists, then good must exist. For good to exist there must be a moral law so that you can differentiate between good and evil; and also a freewill where one is able to choose right over wrong. For a Moral law to exist there must be a moral giver. GOD. If there is no moral Giver there is no moral law. If there is no moral law then there is no good or evil.
      Western law is based on Christian law. There are punishments for lying, stealing, murder etc You break mans law you go to jail you break Gods law you go to hell. But Jesus is the way out so swallow your pride and turn to Jesus today

      Scripture tells us that people are offended by the truth.

So while you absolutely should love your neighbor you should not love your neighbor threw his sin you should rebuke him you should tell him that what he's doing is going to lead him to hell and if he doesn't like that that's between him and God.

Oneness is love , separation is Ego therefore- What Satan/Lucifer wants . That’s why u can’t separate one from another cause u will no longer be from the side of God/love and u can’t be Christian . God is love , oneness, a whole , to love means to take everything and everyone as part of yourself. No exception to the rule !

      Jesus Never Calls Himself God
      The Bible (in spite of being changed and adulterated over time) contains many verses in which Jesus speaks of God as a separate person to himself. Here are just a few of them:.
      When a man addressed Jesus as “Good Teacher”, he replied “Why do you call me good? No one is good except the one God.’’ [Mark 10:18]
      In another instance he says: “I can’t do anything by myself. Whatever I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just. I don’t seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.” [John 5:30]
      Jesus speaks of God as a separate being to himself: I’m going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. [John 20:17]
      In this verse he affirms that he was sent by God: This is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent. [John 17:3]
      If Jesus was God he would have told people to worship him, but he did the opposite and disapproved anyone worshipping him: And in vain they worship Me [Matthew 15:9]
      If Jesus claimed to be God than there should be hundreds of verses in the Bible which would have mentioned it. But there is not a single verse in the entire Bible in which Jesus says I am God, worship me

In essence, all prophets taught the message of Islam - to find peace in your life through submission to the One Almighty Creator; to believe in God and to follow His guidance.
      *******Finally 1400 years back God sent his last prophet ( Mohammed pbuh )

      *******************************************
      Allah” is simply the Arabic word for “God” - and there is only One God. Let there be no doubt - Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon them all. However, it is certainly. true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God. For example, Muslims - like Jews - reject the Christian beliefs of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation. This, however, does not mean that each of these three religions worships a different God - because, as we have already said, there is only One True God. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to be “Abrahamic Faiths”, and all of them are also classified as “monotheistic.” However, Islam teaches that other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas.
      *****************************************
      When god is one... religion is also one... Islam is true religion....

      Islam is not a new religion because ‘submission to the will of God’, i.e. Islam, has always been the only acceptable religion in the sight of God. For this reason, Islam is the true ‘natural religion’, and it is the same eternal message revealed through the ages to all of God’s prophets and messengers. The main message of all the prophets has always been that there is only One True God and He alone is to be worshipped. These prophets start with Adam and include Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them all. God says in the Holy Quran:
      “We did not send before you (O Muhammad) any messenger but We revealed to him: ‘none has the right to be worshipped except I, therefore worship Me.’” (Quran 21:25

      @Justin Gary I have proof of ever claim or statement. Just ask and I will spoon fed it to you if you whish.
      What was BS? What triggered you so passionately that you not only verbally attacks me with blatant lies about who I am and what I believe? Well I said I know the planets or dimensions or whatever it is DMT takes you. And this place feels almost artifical or plastic in comparison to where this entheogens take your "soul" to.. I call it simply Mind but whatever floats your boat..! And even though I have been there and seen these new colors and "spoken" to those beings who actually showed me how it feels to be loved unconditionally. They care..they worry. They are like us but much much futher into the evolution of both physical and spiritual evolution.. Science, which finally has been allowed to research this scientifically again since the complete ban of all research on mind expandig and mind altering substances.. But some continued anyway. Of course.. And one of those absolute geniuses were Terrance Mckenna. Maby you heard of him? He wasn't cunning in one subject. He knew them all. There is a lecture here on CZcams stating in about 15min. Are you open minded enough to listen to it with me? I am willing and eager to hear your spiritualistic journey and experiences.. There could absolutely be what Heaven is like. Maby it were Angels? I still don't know and now it's unimportant. Because I know that we are here for as long as needed to come back there. And that place is pure harmony. I never met any form of God. These beings cares for us as we cares for our siblings. Kind of.. Maby we are Angels in embryo I DON'T KNOW! (Most beautiful thing to say..isn't it. I do not know. I am Agnostic BTW. I refuse to be an idiot Atheists. They are even more sure of something they simply cannot be sure of then you religious people. And takes themselves waaaay to seriously. Christians have humor and wants what's best for you in their perspective and that I can both respect and accept.. But how awesome wouldn't it be to have gone through the tunnel of light and actually walked around on another world?? Maby it's heaven, like I said! I just know with 100% certainty where we go when we die. And that there is beings much greater than us, caring and worrying for humanity and humans. To me that is enough knowledge. Like I said, 5 hits of Changa and you will probably be there in a minute..take twi more if your still here.. But when it takes of it will almost literally blow your mind.. Courage. That's what's needed. And knowledge of DMT before hand and you won't be afraid of anything.. It is proven to be completely harmless.
      Did you actually read my entire post? Or did you quit half way to start rating about? Throwing accusations based only in your head to the left and right..chill man. I mean to be thought provoking sometimes..but I don't want to cause a heart attack. The lecture! Crap! Search for Terrence Mackenna and you find it immediately! Take care!

      Why should God let you into Heaven?
      Have you lied (even once in your entire life), looked with lust (sexual desire), dishonoured parents, stolen anything, had hatred towards someone, had premarital sex, adultery etc If you answered yes to any one of the above then you are a sinner like the rest of us.
      So, I ask you again, why should God let a sinner into Heaven?
      Sinners don’t go to heaven they go to hell, But we are blessed to have Jesus (God incarnate) die on the Cross and rise from the dead. If you Repent (forsake your sinful, unholy ways and live righteous instead) & Believe in Jesus as God, you will be seen as a Saint and welcomed into Heaven.

My mother fasted 17 days and took my brother to an Oral Roberts meeting where he was prayed for healing. This was on a Saturday. On the following Monday she took him to his doctor for X-Rays on his leg. He had a built up shoe on one of his braces, where his bone had already started to deteriate. One of his legs was 3-4 inches shorter because of this disease.

Around the same time, I was struggling with questions about the effectiveness of prayer and the "hiddenness" of God. Why did God speak face-to-face with Moses and the prophets, but we are kinda left to guess what he wants for us? Why does he usually choose one person to reveal himself to, and the rest of us just have to trust them? Why does it seem like he doesn't want to be discovered, so he hides, and leads us by vague feelings and thoughts which are indistinguishable from our own?
      So, after several months of praying about these questions, and listening to pastors and apologists looking for answers, I still was not satisfied... all the answers basically seemed to be "just believe it on faith, it doesn't have to make sense."
      At the same time that this was going on, I started questioning the other reasons that I had based my faith on: the resurrection of Jesus being the "best proved fact" in history, the cosmological, moral, and teleological arguments from philosophy, etc. They all fell one by one as I scrutinized them. They make sense if you presuppose a God, but without that presupposition they really don't take you very far.
      Finally, I had to admit to myself that I was no longer a believer.
      Thank you for asking, and I apologize for the wall of text. :-)

      Have you lied (even once in your entire life), looked with lust (sexual desire), dishonoured parents, stolen anything, had hatred towards someone, had premarital sex, adultery etc If you answered yes to any one of the above then you are a sinner like the rest of us.

      Sinners don’t go to heaven they go to hell, But we are blessed to have Jesus (God incarnate) die on the Cross and rise from the dead. If you Repent (forsake your sinful, unholy ways and live righteous instead) & Believe in Jesus as God, you will be seen as a Saint and welcomed into Heaven.

Jesus is not God per se, is the representation of someone who has realized that God is within man, and he, a mere man, once stood up, and learned about God and his nature an then attained spiritual realization, being now called Jesus the Christ (Christ meaning the one who has the power, or the unction of the holy spirit). And is not as simple as believing in Jesus - as God or no - and then you are going to be welcomed into Heaven as a Saint.

He was a stubborn man and couldn't see why God existed because it mathematically didn't make sense to him that time had a beginning. He was also a really good architect who designed a tall building in Mexico that withstood an earthquake. We always debated with him but we both knew we loved each other and he was the most generous person I knew. He was also terrified of dying, even at the age of 96. After he passed away, we found a prayer card in his wallet with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Blessed Mother, and this prayer on it: "Guide me in my walk. Save me when in danger. Protect me, you who are my companion. Grant me a secure path."

    This while argument gave him away for me. I am an atheist and I think believing in a multiverse requires as much faith as believing in God.
    My answers to the fine-tuning argument are:
    Answer 1) We can't make claims about the probability of the universe having a low probability to support life - when we have a sample set of 1.
    If you find a green toy ball - you can't from that green toy ball alone determine if green toy balls are common or rare. To assess probability you need a bigger sample set.
    Answer 2) Even if I give, for the sake of argument - that the universe did have a really small chance of actually allowing life naturally, the expected probability of allowing life, given that we are alive, is 100%.
    P (Universe allows life) = X
    (X is a tiny number)
    P (Universe allows life / There is life in the universe) = 1
    (in probability "/" means 'given')
    Given that we are alive, we should not be surprised that life can exist.
    Answer 3, Bonus) The universe is not as fine-tuned as we think. Maybe the physical laws allow life, but the universe itself is very hostile.
    From the vacuum of space, the gravity of other planets, to heat, radiation, to much pressure in the oceans.
    We live in specific conditions that we evolved in, and outside of them, we have to create technology to maybe survive.
