Agreed, her logic is flawed and she clearly has not been convicted by the holy spirit. He highlights this perfectly.

My extremely religious Christian friends (who are aware that I don't believe in the Bible) have always listened to my horrendous physical problems which have no known cure that led to having deep emotional and financial problems and they have told me for YEARS now every time they see me: that God has a plan for me, that he loves me, that everything happens in God's time, and they will pray for me. I finally snapped at one of them and said, "I wish he'd fucking get on with this plan of his then, so I don't have to keep suffering while he apparently does NOTHING to help me!" I said to her, "Don't you think if your prayers were going to work, they would have done so by now?" "Why does this God need you and everyone else around me to incessantly beg him to help me?" I instantly felt regret because I knew these things were being said to me with good intentions, but at the same time I felt justified since I had bottled that up for a long time and knew the things she was saying were to comfort her... not me. I always felt like I was the one there to comfort her about my situation when I was the one that was supposed to be getting the comfort. If she wanted to pray for me for the millionth time, she didn't have to burden me with it. If they incessantly bring up their religious beliefs, I'm supposed to be appreciative and let them say it, even if what they say hurts me instead of helps me. If I ask them not to say it since they know I don't believe what they do, I am told I am being a jerk to their feelings. When I want to comfort someone, I tell them I am sorry for their loss or sorry they are experiencing pain or problems. I assess whether there is anything physically, emotionally, or financially I can do immediately for them to lighten their load and I do it ASAP. I ask them if there is anything else I can do. I tell them to let me know if they think of something later and assure them I am not just offering plattitudes and that I REALLY WANT to help, if I can. If there is nothing else I can do, I ask if I can give them a hug or sit and hold their hand. I give them time to greave if they sèem to need it, or try take their mind off it temporarily if it seems like it would help them. If I can think of something funny to say that may help them, I say it before I leave. I try to just let them know I care.

Thank you for pointing out what is wrong with "I'll pray for you" in the context of someone whose beliefs you don't agree with. It is implicitly saying that there is something defective with the person who somehow needs your sanctimonious public announcement of a prayer. It is honestly an announcement of superiority over a person. Kristi is exactly right: If you are sincere, and believe God needs your prayer in order to do something to change a person, keep the announcement to yourself and just do it, feel perfectly free to think that's going to be effective. You know that's not the actual point of an exchange like the one we heard here, the actual point is in announcing it to the person. Christians: stop mincing and prancing behind the "I'll pray for you to see the truth" sanctimony and just say "I'm not ok with your perspective being different than mine it makes me feel [insert emotion here] and because I feel discomfort, I wish for you to change so that you conform to what I think you should be." Own it. You can't because when said honestly you know how grossly egocentric and out of line it is.

One of the most arrogant things a theist can say is, "I will pray for you," followed closely by, "I feel sorry for you." These phrases just drip with self-righteousness. Even if your salvation is their sincere, _conscious_ concern, the subtext is still, "I'm right, and you're wrong. I'm going to heaven, and you're going to hell. I'm smart, and you're foolish. _I'm better than you!"_ Side Note: Maybe it's just me, but only a _man_ (who doesn't have to carry or bear children) would use _having kids_ as an example of how people are never content with _enough._ Then again, being compelled to, "Be fruitful, and multiply," is arguably why so many people _continue_ to procreate even when they _don't_ actually want _more._ Moreover, the idea that faith in Jesus keeps people from constantly wishing for more _utterly contradicts_ the motivation of _eternal heavenly rewards,_ not to mention mega-church wealth. 14:54 - Did he just admit that God _creates_ tragedy in order to motivate greater active engagement with Him through prayer...that _our_ suffering is _God's_ manipulative clickbait? The more I contemplate the God of the Bible, the more I can't help but to compare Him to the capricious...and abusive...gods of Greek and Roman mythology, _and_ the more I learn about Hellenistic influences on the religions and scriptural literature of conquered Middle Eastern cultures, the more it makes perfect sense that the God of Abraham would behave that way.

Why rejecting these things can exactly be a humble and almost pious thing to do. But there’s just no way.. The best thing about my Calvinist Christian indoctrination is that I know what it is to liberate yourself from it. What a joy!

@ereyes6718 I know we have all we need to know, because the truth is there, I read it, I experience it in various ways. You know what is unfortunate about science, which has accomplished some really amazing things, is that it will never be able to explain how the universe came into existence, because we know, without doubt or reservation of thought, that something can't come from absolute nothing... zero. Nothing simply can't create something. Therefore if nothing existed in the beginning, nothing would currently or ever exist, but we do exist, so since nothing can't create something, and we exist, then something must exist, it has to because we exist, and if it exists then it could have only always existed because there is no other possibility and this something is God, for only he, who is so far beyond our comprehension. Like quantum x 1x10¹⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰⁰. So how are we even going to begin to understand something so far beyond anything we could ever begin to consider a sliver of understanding... on his level, we could never, bur he is the one who has existed for ever, and it is he who will always exist. Behold the wisdom of God the Father. That is the fact we alm live with. That is the only reality, because otherwise it would be nothing and we simply wouldn't ever exist, but we do. Praise be to God, for all comes from him. I hope you get to know him. He awaits for all, good or bad, week or strong... he cares not, just turn and he is there.

I love your argument back to those who say they will "pray" for me. My response used to be "Thanks." Now it will be "No thank you!"

What part of been there, done that does he not understand.

What is monumental and most important is,, Realizing that your religious beliefs are not truly your own. The ideas that were impressed upon you as a child are not based on your experience, self discovery or independent investigation or non-bias observation. As you become more aware of this fact,, you realize that the adults around you went through the same conditioning/brainwashing process as you have. So that means that no one around you is thinking as an individual. No one is applying empathy or any level of critical thinking. About a belief system that they hold so dear without question. Even though they see the hypocrisy in their group. As well as what they are learning from their group/church organization. Then, when you challenge the group,, you risk being ostracized. The fear of being rejected from the group,, can be scary. So I congratulate this woman for taking on those challenges and sharing her understanding with the world. It would seem that she is becoming and contributing the way she believes love and peace and unity should be shared. Without the religious and scary dogma of religious organizations. Freedom is priceless‼️

Hell! You were brilliant at dealing with the closed-minded caller. I discovered this channel just now. I need more for the times St-Doug-of-PineCreek isn't producing content.

Thank you for asking out loud how useless prayer is, especially the part when someone says "I'll pray for you." It's one thing if a person prays for someone and even I won't bother if someone does it. But the moment they say it out loud, it shows that they want to change you, no matter of hey say otherwise - because otherwise they wouldn't have said it. Like we know that there are people out there who pray for unbelievers constantly and they don't tell us because they are somewhere else in the world. But the announcement, that's what's bothering. Some genuinely want a person to change and some - and I think that is very sad - want to be aknowledge by what they do. They want to feel better when people say "thank you" for being told that they are gonna be prayed for. Like that is so sad and even arrogant at some level.

"It's YOUR choice that HE reveals himself to you." That sentence doesn't make too much sense, does it? Sounds more like the caller can't really decide who to blame for her non-belief.

Your videos never disappoint

RE: Prayer -- The bible says that "If any two or more of you agree on anything, it shall be done by my father in heaven". When I was still a believer I've been in a room with several hundred people all praying for someone many times. In one case it was to restore sight to someone who was gradually going blind. Did it happen? Nope. Many other examples just like it. That promise alone is just one of the many big lies in the famous fables book.

Man this guy was so annoying, he didn't listen to a word you said. You told him how you just no longer believe the Bible because it wasn't sufficient for you and he still keeps acting like you were just *told* not to believe by someone else.

It's funny how simple logic crushes doctrine . Why can't they just answer the questions it's simple . I'll tell you why it's because they realize that what they believe is ridiculous and so they stumble And do not have a ready defense as Josh McDowell puts it. It's almost as if they have blinders on . Me being a former devout Christian for 35 years (Leaving it at 35 years of age now 47), It's hard for me to look back and understand how I could have believed and how I justified belief. Even after 12 years an atheist, I'm still learning how negatively I was and am affected by doctrines of Christianity. The most recent and most troublesome, the belief of original sin, born into sin, hell bound by default, undeserving of our father in heavens love, we are as filthy rafs compared to God's awesomeness, we are of our father the devil...etc. being indoctrinated into such a horrible view of ourselves has longterm damage to our self esteem, value, image, and often hinders our personal relationships. We can become depressed, codependent, people pleasers, and ripe for any narcissistic personality to pick. My anger at how much time I wasted on praying and pleading and begging God to forgive me and asking him to have mercy on me in case I did Christianity wrong or believed the wrong thing, well it sometimes shows. I'm not angry at those who raised me or those in my life, bc they were the same as I. I'm angry at myself for being so ignorant and I limited my one life to a narrow experience for 35 years.

It seems that this man had some sort of burnout from too high expectations, too fast life pace or he simply grew and changed as a person. He should have simply gone to a psychologist or evolved as a person, changed jobs etc but it seems that religion got him at a moment he was vulnerable to fool him that religion was the only option to escape an unhappy situation. It's so sad that people think that it's either unhappiness or religion. Life without religion is the best thing a human can do for himself/herself, just like Kristi I can not fathom how christians force pray and pray for us to have an unhappy life, while we are very content and in peace with ourselves already. Great job Kristi. I hope it helped at least some religious people understand how wrong it is to force prayers on others.

He has given each one of us a conscience that bears this truth that way we are without excuse on the day of judgment. Thats why you should read the Bible and believe it. It is God's love letter to man. And tells you how to find everlasting life.

Kristi, love your stuff. You are simply brilliant in the thought process as well as the presentation. . The sad part of the conversation is perspective. As a former Christian, who could not imagine a world without God or that people cannot believe that there is a God. I understand that it is hard for Christians to grasp what you are talking about without the desire to challenge their belief. Instead what happens is that they need to articulate one's disbelief into terms that are palatable to them which does not reflect the heart of those who have left. One thing that sometimes gets lost in the shuffle is that when a Christian prays that someone will come to God. It is usually a desire that calamity befalls the individual and that they will coming begging for help to God. It is in effect a curse that brings their imaginary blessing. Now that I am on the other side, in a world that there is no evidence for God. Instead I see a faith that has no clothes. Once one sees that it cannot be unseen.

You dealt with his nonsensical arguments so well and with such patience and kindness. I am an ex-Catholic and my father is a Lutheran turned evangelical. He makes these same types of arguments to convince me to go back to Christianity because he "fears for my soul." All that happens is we get into a shouting match because he tells me that I am wrong because my 'paradigm ' is flawed but I get so frustrated because his arguments are not based on facts or even an understanding of the Bible. These arguments upset me because they are so manipulative, because the person judging you can't back up what they say and because you don't subscribe to their ideas, you are the person in the wrong.
