You and Nabeel and now many other ex-Muslims are doing an excellent job of opening the eyes of millions of people around the world, who have been afraid of taking on these subjects.

Recent convert to Christianity from Atheism right here. I was a Richard Dawkins & Christopher Hitchens fanboy for almost ten years. I used to treat The God Delusion like my own Bible. I used to angrily rage against religion from a young age, but finally stopped ignoring the call of God and made the decision at the end of last year to convert. Now I'm set to be baptised and confirmed in a couple weeks. Everything feels brighter and better now than when I was an atheist, for example I finally feel like my life has purpose and meaning beyond simple material reality. God bless you all.

Ask our Righteous Messiah to show you who He is, and He will. He'll come for every lamb that has strayed from the flock and lead you back. He is the Good Shepherd, our Rock and Redeemer. When you find him, though, this world is troubled, and you'll struggle in it. You'll find your burden lighter and that you're free. Prayers for the seekers. 🙏🏻

Yes. Was my theology sound and would others consider me a Christian? No. But it was the first step in turning around and following Christ.

​@@FrikInCasualModeyes you can The biggest problem atheists have is this. They say there 3 000 Gods and they just don't believe in one .that is it. They do not understand that it is in every culture that there was a creator of everything . We have 3 000 names but it is the same Single God. Now the uniqueness of Christianity is documenting the coming of God in Human flesh. That is it. Atheists have this problem and I wonder if there is someone that can point to them because it is a simple and idiotic point they make.

So many years ago, i was going to steal with three other friends of mine. On the way, i met another friend who had become born again. He shook my hands and said 'God bless you.' Immediately, i saw how dirty and unclean i was. I knew instantly that i was a complete sinner and needed a savior. For two weeks i kept crying and crying. Long story short, today i am a pastor with the ASSEMBLIES OF GOD ORGANISATION. I pity and pray for those who think there is no God. May God reveal Himself to them as He did to some of us by His mercies.

Wow. Ayaan was the person who legitimized atheism for me 10 years ago when I was going through a difficult time. I still name my cell phones after her. As a Christian, I was not swayed by the white men in their castles of science and reason. But when I saw that this amazing woman thought so highly of them, I investigated atheism more thoroughly and turned away from God for about 3 yrs. Eventually, I realized that I had literally traded something for nothing. My journey back to God has been exponentially rewarding and I am so excited to hear this! Great commentary too! Ave Maria :)

I'm born atheist. My parents didn't care about religion, since my grandparents were the ones to abandon it during their politically revolutionary phase ("if you can help the vulnerable with communism, why have religions?") I remember that as a young kid I found the idea of someone watching and judging my every move was something creepy which limited my freedom and privacy, and that I was already a good person. Then I moved to a different city, happened to enter a Catholic school and learnt the basics of Christianity, which I respected, but was never really into it. Most of my classmates weren't either. I became a Deist for around 2 decades based solely on the Prime Mover argument. In my 30s I've been studying Theology and Religion, just as an extension of my hobby of reading History and Philosophy, and Science aswell, being a Scientist myself. I first read books by Richard Dawkins, Nietzsche, and many atheists. Now I've also explored all the major religions and their variations and denominations. Of all my reading, I was first convinced/attracted the most to Stoicism, Taoism and hard materialism. I own the Quran, Analects by Confucius, the writings of the Buddha, Book of Mormon, various philosophy books on Ethics, Aristotle, Spinoza, Camus, Kant... I feel lucky to live in a time where I can have easy access to so much material, and to so many youtubers discussing these topics. To me, the Quran feels like it was carefully designed to make you feel fear in order to control you. It has everything wrong with religion that Dawkins, me and my grandparents noticed long ago. And this year I found myself attending mass again, from my own volition this time.

@@jameslay1489 I think you'll agree that Physics, like every science, still ignores most of reality and changes all the time as it discovers more. It's a tool. It can support or reject an hypothesis if the experiments prove it right or wrong, but it can say nothing about an hypothesis when experiments are not (yet?) possible. An assumption that can not be disproven is not a weakness to the hypothesis, it is a weakness of our ability to perform experimentation. You are projecting our own limitations into the primal being. We agree that the idea of the prime mover does not imply that it is the Christian God, and that's precisely why I said I was a deist and not a Christian at the time. I do think the idea of a prime being outside of spacetime is actually very logical. Illogical would be to think that in the chain of cause and effect there is some effect which was created without a cause. If we are logically thinking about a plane of existence above spacetime, capable of starting/creating this chain; that is what we call the prime mover, even if the name may not be literally correct. It's just the name Aristotle used. Sure, the act of Creation of the universe was probably not a literal "movement", which as you say, requires time to already be present in order to happen, but it could be some other type of influence of a kind we can not know, and therefore can not deny. Logically, if our spacetime reality is contained inside the greater reality of the prime mover, it is not logical for me to assume the higher reality is "limited" by not having time, but that whatever nature that reality has, it must be less limiting than ours, not more. If they do not "move" in the sense we do, whatever they actually do is equally or less restrictive than our movements, *not more restrictive*. The nature of the prime mover, and the nature of whatever actions it performs, being unknowable to us does not harm the hypothesis of its existence. Yet in our world logically we still need a prime mover to explain the existence of the chain we live in. So it merely tells us that our science is not, and may never be, great enough to know God. Assumptions on how things work outside of our spacetime are also impossible for us to test. But since we infer from our reality a less restrictive reality above, who am I to say what God can or can not do? Logic itself could be different, and not require causes and effects like our universe does, allowing for self-creation, or God only knows what other expressions of power.

​@jameslay1489 What on earth does physics have to do with a prime mover? You're using an irrelevant topic to ignore outright the argument. You do realize that if a prime mover does exist it would be what created the laws of physics in the first place right? 😅 the argument from contingency, argument from agency and the transcendental argument are all sound arguments untouched by atheist rhetoric. Maybe take time to research them and try to logically refute them without relying on fallacious reasoning please. BTW you stated that a prime mover is basically unfalsifiable but I would say to you that atheism is in the exact same boat by that logic so why be an atheist? Ah right special pleading and a desire not to have a prime mover. Got it.

I became an atheist very young. I developed skeptical tendencies when I was very young as I had a very difficult first few early years and didn't understand why God would allow me to go through the things I had to go through very young. I did become a full fledged atheist even if I didn't know the word around the age of 7-8 and developed nihilistic tendencies very young. I was very angry and depressed for all of my adolescence and rejected and even hated God. I would argue with theists of all varieties and thought I was way smarter then them. About a year ago I felt this sudden urge to go to church and for the first time in my life I listened to people who understood Christ and Christianity much better than I did even having gone to a Catholic church for all of my youth and Catholic school from 4-18. I sat in Church and listened to my first sermon in 13 years and I wept sitting in the pew and it was the most transcendental experience I've ever had. Since then I've been much happier, much less quick to anger, much less judgmental, much more understanding and accepting. I am learning what sin actually is and how it impacts us, I'm learning to understand that Christ is the bridge towards eternal life, I'm learning that living like Christ is difficult and I fall short of it all the time, but I'm also learning that that is ok and that the fact I try each day is ok as well. I wouldn't have gone this path if it weren't for Christ or my listening to people espousing traditional values and pointing out the problems that secularism and atheistic belief systems have created. Christ is my king and my shepherd. God bless everybody and I hope people recognize their sin and how corrupted the devil has made them and shirks all that off for the salvation that Christ offers.

Right - I think we should evolve in our religious understanding as well. If we aren't expanding our insight into the Bible, and anything to do with life, and what exists, we're probably moving toward something more like a 'cult'. I hate that word [cult], because it's one of the most abused words today, but I think it means a stagnant resistance to the fact that there is always more to understand about EVERYTHING.

As well as experimenting with all major religions I was also a Buddhist (Theravada and Dogen Zen mostly) when I was Buddhist and Atheist. I was a big fan of Ayaan Hirsi-Ali if she has become Christian then I am really happy for her. I am an ex-member of the then called British Humanist Association. I met Richard Dawkins at a Humanist Association meeting at University College London weeks later I became a Christian not because of Richard but because I had an unusual experience.😂 My testimony of how I became a Christian is mind blowing and now I am in my 25th year of being a Christian now; and I am the happiest I have ever been.

Atheism is a natural response to a dogmatic and oppressive religion. I'm only opposed to atheism as a permanent intellectual position and I think that it is important for an atheist to continue searching.

One of the best apologetics videos I have ever watched. Thank you for the thought provoking content brother Wood.

I am so happy for her. Praise God. I study many cults, talk to ex-cult members. For the most part, Atheism is the second step on their way out. They are terrified of “organized religion.” And rightly so from their perspective. They need time to unthink and recover from the evil before moving on to the Truth. 💔🙏❤️

I think Jordan Peterson should be credited for this atheist movement toward Christianity. Since the beginning of his lectures at the university of Toronto you can see him actively struggle with his atheism (at the time) and start to formulate a new opinion about God. Of course the beauty of seeing this over the years only shows me how God works through honest seeking of Him. Peterson brought light in the traditions of the Abraham religions influence on societies and how that can’t be denied. See him publicly struggle with his position and seeing the slow transformation was literally inspiring to me and my Christian faith. He helped me become more faithful to God by looking at the scriptures differently than my normal readings. He opened my eyes through his expertises as a psychologist that gave me a better understanding how the scriptures work on people differently that I never would have known without seeing him actively work through the process of his take on scripture readings. Anyway, I just see God coming into these atheist lives and opening their eyes to concepts Peterson brought out in his journey. This is God working and it’s wonderful to see. Peace

I can somewhat relate to her. I've never identified as atheist or muslim but I had some church abuse in my past. I never abandoned Jesus because I know Jesus is about forgiveness and love for sinners and opposes pharisees. So I understood that the church abuse was just the men in my church and not God. Though I do have actual panic attacks trying to go back to church. Haven't been able to find one where I feel safe yet. I listen to sermons via podcast though and that's been really restful. I feel like I'm just with Jesus in the wilderness right now until he leads me back to a safe church. He's been very tender with me in this wandering season.

“Darkness in a protective womb” sounds exactly like theism to me. When I left religion I felt as if a veil had been lifted from my eyes and my life immediately became better, more meaningful and more precious.

You are having a profound impact. It's evident in your comment section and in the important topics you analyze - probably better than almost anyone. Ayaan Hirsi Ali's journey is a fascinating one.

The part Atheists forget about Nietzsche was the rest of the quote. 'God is Dead, we have killed him, and no amount of water shall wash the blood from our hands.' David says it well, but in TLDR: Nihilism is death.

Nietzsche is an objectivist. Just ask Ayn Rand. Another quote from him that people don't fully explore to it's conclusion - "There are no facts, only interpretations". This is true. We know it's true because we observe different people making the same mistakes through misinformation. To accept this means you accept that, although we are all individual subjective beings, our experiences have objective universal archetypal constants, and *those* are the truth. Not "facts", but a truth. One we may grasp at and know, through Christ.

Your comment on "the road cut" is extremely important. The "road cut" is where the Western World is today, it has cut the anchors that kept it tied to Judeo/Christian ethics/morality. The moral and ethical capital that was built up and invested in over the centuries is quickly being spent with no replenishment coming. Its running out fast since the atheist/secular has taken over all the educational institutions and they teach their ethics/morality. Kids going through these institutions have had "the road cut" completely and will imbue the new ethic/morals with 0 Judeo/Christian influence. But the whole "humans are basically good" mantra was all based upon the previous generations moral capital from Judeo/Christian ethics/morality. The "road cut" is perfect description of what has happened.

Ayaan has had a positive experience with God: She has personally witnessed the goodness of God's teachings and felt their impact in her heart.

I am an atheist. I call myself "culturally Christian". I don't believe in God or in Christ as "God-made-flesh" or any such, but my entire morality system and worldview, is absolutely Christian based. The values I hold dear - humanism, secularism and individual freedoms and responsibilities, none of those would even make sense without a Christian background, and I fully admit it. Christianism is different from ANYTHING that has EVER existed. Before Christ, the only morality was "Might makes right". That was literally the morality of Rome, of the barbarians, of the Chinese, the Indians, the Africans, the Native Americans, the Mongols. That was the only moral system. Christianism changed that, and Christ "invented" individualism - salvation was, after all, individual. Everything good we have in the world today is due to Christianism, and it would be hipocritical for an atheist such as myself to deny that

I am not a smart person, to many noise out there, I did not know which one is true. If God exist and love me, He would answer me. So I just asked God, Are you real? Who are you? Thank you Jesus. Now I know afterlive is real, waow I will live again forever joyfully. Just knowing that makes me happy even if I have to walk in a deep dark valley.

Funnily enough your intro describes my feelings when I let go of my Christian dogma.

Another classic brilliant presentation by D.. Wood. Well done sir! The clarity you bring is a joy to behold.

Ayaan is wonderful! A true hero of Faith in Jesus now.

In your dreams. She is rightly sceptical of religious priests supernatural 'truth ' claims.

It takes time for some to turn around, but Holy Spirit is persistent with some until change their mind towards a more ethical and moral choice.

Well put video David. I like your videos and I believe the Lord will continue to touch many people with your videos

Ayaan hirsi Ali,an ex muslim turned out to be an atheist for almost 10 years and now she has embraced Christianity. Iam closely watching her transitions and waiting to see what her stance would be after a decade..😃😂😂
