I'm not even kidding when I say this. After watching this video, I went to r/atheism to see what was going on there and guess what the first post I saw was? It was a screenshot that a redditor took of a bumper sticker that depicted a cross and a heart with an equal sign between them. The title of the post was "Instrument of death used to torture people = love." These guys will have aneurysms just from seeing a cross necklace or from hearing "Bless you" after sneezing. It doesn't matter If you're Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or even atheist. I think we can all agree that these guys need prayer.
@@Rohit.Gaikwadl mean if you are trying to be polite then just say bless you...why would you say "excuse me" like what are you apologizing for you didn't make him/her sneeze and besides it's unlikely you will actually encounter a person who gets offended by this because they probably believe the sun is a sign of the remnants of christian Idiocracy propaganda trying to persecute high intellect atheist like them and that having friends is something for low IQ people and below their sheer englithement so just say "bless you" like a normal person and move on
I had to leave my old D&D friend group from High School because while I was in College they replaced my D&D spot with a guy just like this. He quickly became the one in the group talking the most, shouting his point as if arguing to someone who isn't there, and making fun of anyone who believed life matters. They all seemed to like him better. That was 2 years ago, yet I still mourn my friendships with those guys sometimes.
Without God, all you have is the self. What this leaves you is that you now have to become God in order to fill that void. It's amazing how when I was an atheist, I followed this pattern to a T. What a wretched state it was, not noticing how in the dark I was until I experienced the light. When you give up force, you can truly experience things. When you abandon pride, you can learn to truly flourish. It's hard abandoning pride. It follows you in all sorts of little ways; it creates so many little lies that you learn to follow. And, it prevents you from truly living. Think of how Tolkien contrasts good and evil in Lord of the Rings, evil as this thing that uses force. What you try to grasp you push away. What you let be comes to you. Atheism, as I experienced it, was profoundly related to pride and force, with an elevation of truth - but truth only as I understood it, as I painted it on reality without realizing what I was doing.
@@hellomate639absolutely absurd. Without God we still have literally everything we had before. We still have each other (for better or worse), loved ones, a world, a universe. It sounds like your problems were to do with being underdeveloped as a person, not to do with lacking theism.
@@spitfire184 You call it "absolutely absurd"? Is that not a hasty judgement for such a brief conversation? You, as a human being like the rest of us, have nothing and no one. Nothing is yours. All that is yours will be taken from you. You are borrowing everything - your time with your loved ones, your time with your hobbies and passions. These things will pass. You might think you can create meaning, but your mind is always aware of the emptiness of it, even if you've hidden this from yourself. You're making some pleasure and pain, and adding some pleasure and pain in others, who will, in their finitude, also pass. Otherwise, they're just doing arbitrary things. But, say you and everyone lives forever; it's not even clear that this really solves the problem (as Wittgenstein put it). You're just doing arbitrary things that make pleasure happen. Hypothetically, we could plug into a pleasure matrix and never see our family members again, because it's just an illusion to care about family, right? You could plug into a matrix that makes you forget your family, and feel intense pleasure forever - why not just do that? I'd argue that it's rationally absurd not to, assuming that you will be secure in this pleasure and will never tire of it. Life is fundamentally meaningless without God, as meaning is just as absurd as God. But, reality is also absurd, hence why there's an entire branch of existential philosophy devoted to it (absurdism). How's that for absolutely absurd?
I kind of want to see how upset this makes militant atheists in their spaces. They're going to have a hard time communicating how they feel without saying something that's already in the video.
@@makepeoplemad I was religious but not as much now. I still wouldn’t resort to becoming like those Redditors. I’d sooner start going to church and donate my whole pay check
I'm an atheist but there is something truly beautiful about believing that when you die you will go and see all your missed loved ones. Like how can anyone hate people believing that?
Well, I hate rhetorical questions, so I'll answer... The existence of an afterlife where everything is perfect could undermine value of real human lives. The narrative that "Things get better after you die" may be comforting, but it could also lead to some people being dismissive of others' problems "It doesn't matter if you're suffering now, because when you die you'll have eternal happiness", that kinda thing. Or it may encourage people to live "safer", less fulfilling lives, because they don't think that their mortal life is that important anyway. E.g. "[Chasing my dreams] is unnecessary because once I die I'll be happy anyway". And with many religions, heaven (which I assume you're describing) comes bundled with the concept of hell, and judgement. Eternal damnation. I personally feel that the possibility of eternal hell is more existentially frightening than the idea that nothing happens after we die. And then you've got to consider all the arbitrary rules religious people have to follow. It isn't just "be nice to people'", there'll also be stupid rules damning behaviours which are totally fine (i.e. homosexuality is a sin, masturbation is a sin, eating pork is a sin, etc ). But I digress, because you didn't mention hell or judgement and religious rules. A religion without those and just with heaven is possible. Still, without hell, people might become upset that some evil people, like serial killers or dictators, get to go to heaven.
3:50, actually I retract that, this is the realest part. My friends whom are pastors dont even talk about their religous beliefs as much as these redditors do.
They’re EVERYWHERE. Almost like those guys are on some kind of… crusade or something… weird, isn’t it? I can’t express my faith anywhere on the internet without at least 300 or so of these little creatures skittering onto my post just to tell me how dumb I am. Makes me wanna pull my teeth out
I only talk about my religion when it comes up in conversation. When an atheist pulls this, or hell, even a religious person, it makes them look like a vinegar-soaked bozo.
@@godzillamaster34 same bro. But people can definitely get so caught up in their own beliefs that they forget that other people come from different cultures and backgrounds and might have different views than themselves. Religious or not… it’s annoying.
@@_Sloppyham not in person but man do they love Christian videos. It would be like me going to multiple unicorn videos and arguing with every comment about how unicorns are indoctrination. This atheist stereotype didn't appear out of thin air, hence why this video exists.
Redditheists are rarely seen outside of their communal forum so the fact they were able to catch one in the wild and then make a documentary on it is crazy! :O

@@Durta_idk what are you talking about? The son (Jesus) submitted to the father. Keep in mind he CHOSE to do this, they both are one in divine nature and they are both God. The Holy Spirit is the father and the son. Jesus said “he who loves me, I and my father will make our abode IN HIM” That’s the Holy Spirit Edit: the Holy Spirit is also God
As someone who was religious but kinda doesn’t believe it anymore. I’d rather go back to church than join that cringefest. They’re like bronies but more cringe. At least bronies you can understand they just have a weird fetish. R/Atheist gotta make the whole world upside down if anyone mentioned anything of a higher power or supernatural. Its like the autistic kid that doesn’t understand the concept of a social habits.
I thought about this recently and that the reason that atheist hates people talking about God is because they are scared that they will be converted back
Don't force your religion on people if you said reddit atheists when their parents say bless you when sneezing instead of oh my science then your comment wouldn't be cringe
@@carreviewer6345 I still don't think it's the worst thing when you consider those kids eventually grow up and just decide not to go to church. There are a lot of places my parents made me go with them that I didn't like, and I got over it.
As an atheist, I can imagine that there are atheists similar to this. I do not bring up atheism in my social life or work life unless someone brings up theology to me first. It has happened and I've had extensive conversations with several Christian friends. In my experience, those who know the least about the origins and antecedents of Christianity are Christians. Nevertheless, I've never even been on reddit; it seems as if it could be toxic, so to speak.
Depends on where you go; sometimes it can be fun, but if you're looking for actual philosophical dialogue, you're probably not going to find it in politically or religiously motivated echo chambers lol.
The shirt should have had the 4 horsemen of Atheism: Sam Harris, Daniel Bennett, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. Other than that, the video is funny af
The joke is that he's making a religion out of these guys though. Michael Shermer has an image of Carl Sagan on his wall holding a candle and it has a super religious vibe.... Such a skeptic, with Saint Sagan on your wall, eh?
@@hellomate639 I understand that because he mentions only those fours, so putting the 4 horsemen of atheism would be out of place. I just thought at first that it'd be funny (and accurate). Now that I think about it, it's weird that no Atheist has had that idea to have a shirt like that. Although, I can think a couple of reasons why no one would wear that.
I suppose that’s true. However I’d say Dawkins and Harris have completely lost it at this point. Dawkins said that there is literally NO evidence that could convince him of God whatsoever, which more or less means he’s not intellectually honest. Harris on the other hand has kinda gone nuts when it comes to politics and has the worst TDS I have ever seen. I don’t even like Trump but Harris has essentially admitted that he’s personally fine with completely manipulating the election just so he doesn’t win and said that you should vote for Biden and no matter what. It doesn’t matter bad comes from his side or how bad it is should be ignored. Again I’m not a Trump guy but this is insanity.
@@thedukeofchutney468 In all honesty I even forget I even posted this comment, I'm religious myself and I've always heard these 4 talk against it, that's why I thought it would be more accurate and funny if those guys would be on the shirt.

There is no "preaching atheism!!!". We dont have a shared belief or "rulebook" that tells us to hate all theists. That's just called reddit and being clinically online, doesnt have anything to do with atheism

It was a screenshot that a redditor took of a bumper sticker that depicted a cross and a heart with an equal sign between them. The title of the post was "Instrument of death used to torture people = love." These guys will have aneurysms just from seeing a cross necklace or from hearing "Bless you" after sneezing. It doesn't matter If you're Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or even atheist. I think we can all agree that these guys need prayer.
I think "excuse me" or not saying after a sneeze is just normal alternative ✌
Amen to that!
@@Rohit.Gaikwadl mean if you are trying to be polite then just say bless you...why would you say "excuse me" like what are you apologizing for you didn't make him/her sneeze and besides it's unlikely you will actually encounter a person who gets offended by this because they probably believe the sun is a sign of the remnants of christian Idiocracy propaganda trying to persecute high intellect atheist like them and that having friends is something for low IQ people and below their sheer englithement so just say "bless you" like a normal person and move on
@Rohit.Gaikwad who says excuse me after?
Trent is so supportive of his friends
not Noah tho... u gotta draw the line somewhere.
Even the desperate need for validation in the laughter was spot on.
I had to leave my old D&D friend group from High School because while I was in College they replaced my D&D spot with a guy just like this. He quickly became the one in the group talking the most, shouting his point as if arguing to someone who isn't there, and making fun of anyone who believed life matters. They all seemed to like him better.
That was 2 years ago, yet I still mourn my friendships with those guys sometimes.
Big oof, man.
You should become more like this guy then so people like you. Problem solved
They weren't your friends then.
@@mreps4629So he should become an asshole to hang out with other assholes? Nah he made the right choice the group sounded toxic.
they were never your friends.
Some atheists out there arguing so hard that they don't believe in something without realizing how insecure it makes them seem
Without God, all you have is the self.
What this leaves you is that you now have to become God in order to fill that void.
It's amazing how when I was an atheist, I followed this pattern to a T.
What a wretched state it was, not noticing how in the dark I was until I experienced the light.
When you give up force, you can truly experience things. When you abandon pride, you can learn to truly flourish.
It's hard abandoning pride. It follows you in all sorts of little ways; it creates so many little lies that you learn to follow.
And, it prevents you from truly living. Think of how Tolkien contrasts good and evil in Lord of the Rings, evil as this thing that uses force. What you try to grasp you push away. What you let be comes to you.
Atheism, as I experienced it, was profoundly related to pride and force, with an elevation of truth - but truth only as I understood it, as I painted it on reality without realizing what I was doing.
@@hellomate639Not really. I get on just fine without theism with respect to, y'know, not turning into Max Stirner.
@@hellomate639absolutely absurd. Without God we still have literally everything we had before. We still have each other (for better or worse), loved ones, a world, a universe. It sounds like your problems were to do with being underdeveloped as a person, not to do with lacking theism.
@@hellomate639 beautifully said
@@spitfire184 You call it "absolutely absurd"? Is that not a hasty judgement for such a brief conversation?
You, as a human being like the rest of us, have nothing and no one. Nothing is yours. All that is yours will be taken from you. You are borrowing everything - your time with your loved ones, your time with your hobbies and passions. These things will pass.
You might think you can create meaning, but your mind is always aware of the emptiness of it, even if you've hidden this from yourself. You're making some pleasure and pain, and adding some pleasure and pain in others, who will, in their finitude, also pass. Otherwise, they're just doing arbitrary things.
But, say you and everyone lives forever; it's not even clear that this really solves the problem (as Wittgenstein put it). You're just doing arbitrary things that make pleasure happen. Hypothetically, we could plug into a pleasure matrix and never see our family members again, because it's just an illusion to care about family, right? You could plug into a matrix that makes you forget your family, and feel intense pleasure forever - why not just do that? I'd argue that it's rationally absurd not to, assuming that you will be secure in this pleasure and will never tire of it.
Life is fundamentally meaningless without God, as meaning is just as absurd as God. But, reality is also absurd, hence why there's an entire branch of existential philosophy devoted to it (absurdism).
How's that for absolutely absurd?

@Achaem Gaming someone is visibly religious
I'm an atheist but there is something truly beautiful about believing that when you die you will go and see all your missed loved ones. Like how can anyone hate people believing that?
Well, I hate rhetorical questions, so I'll answer...
The existence of an afterlife where everything is perfect could undermine value of real human lives. The narrative that "Things get better after you die" may be comforting, but it could also lead to some people being dismissive of others' problems "It doesn't matter if you're suffering now, because when you die you'll have eternal happiness", that kinda thing. Or it may encourage people to live "safer", less fulfilling lives, because they don't think that their mortal life is that important anyway. E.g. "[Chasing my dreams] is unnecessary because once I die I'll be happy anyway".
And with many religions, heaven (which I assume you're describing) comes bundled with the concept of hell, and judgement. Eternal damnation. I personally feel that the possibility of eternal hell is more existentially frightening than the idea that nothing happens after we die. And then you've got to consider all the arbitrary rules religious people have to follow. It isn't just "be nice to people'", there'll also be stupid rules damning behaviours which are totally fine (i.e. homosexuality is a sin, masturbation is a sin, eating pork is a sin, etc ).
But I digress, because you didn't mention hell or judgement and religious rules. A religion without those and just with heaven is possible. Still, without hell, people might become upset that some evil people, like serial killers or dictators, get to go to heaven.

As an atheist, I can imagine that there are atheists similar to this. I do not bring up atheism in my social life or work life unless someone brings up theology to me first. It has happened and I've had extensive conversations with several Christian friends. In my experience, those who know the least about the origins and antecedents of Christianity are Christians. Nevertheless, I've never even been on reddit; it seems as if it could be toxic, so to speak.
You are right, many Christians aren't hip with the history of the Church, even more so they haven't read the Church Fathers.
Depends on where you go; sometimes it can be fun, but if you're looking for actual philosophical dialogue, you're probably not going to find it in politically or religiously motivated echo chambers lol.
@@irish_deconstruction but is it ok to do this to those spame bots

@@hellomate639 I understand that because he mentions only those fours, so putting the 4 horsemen of atheism would be out of place.
I just thought at first that it'd be funny (and accurate).
Now that I think about it, it's weird that no Atheist has had that idea to have a shirt like that.
Although, I can think a couple of reasons why no one would wear that.
I suppose that’s true. However I’d say Dawkins and Harris have completely lost it at this point. Dawkins said that there is literally NO evidence that could convince him of God whatsoever, which more or less means he’s not intellectually honest. Harris on the other hand has kinda gone nuts when it comes to politics and has the worst TDS I have ever seen. I don’t even like Trump but Harris has essentially admitted that he’s personally fine with completely manipulating the election just so he doesn’t win and said that you should vote for Biden and no matter what. It doesn’t matter bad comes from his side or how bad it is should be ignored. Again I’m not a Trump guy but this is insanity.
@@thedukeofchutney468 In all honesty I even forget I even posted this comment, I'm religious myself and I've always heard these 4 talk against it, that's why I thought it would be more accurate and funny if those guys would be on the shirt.
