Indian atheist debates Evangelical Christian
Otangelo asked why I am an atheist. I said it had to do with there being no evidence for the existence of god. The conversation took us towards logical models and methods of knowing what is true.
I am Vimoh, an Indian atheist and my videos have to do with religion, atheism, Indian culture, and sometimes contemporary political happenings.

At least the Atheist is honest when he says "I don't know". Something that seems very hard for some people to admit. And to his defense. There is yet to be any proof of any supernatural existence.

Its about the sense of insecurity ! People fear to live with the statement "I don't know" and hence look for something to cling on irrespective of the fact that its untrue. In short, delulu is the new solulu
This was a good debate and I hope Otangelo revisits his core beliefs.

Why should he once again we accept you to believe what you want but you just can't leave us to believe what we do there is no God

1. Because there are no facts to support your belief in God 2. Because historically this belief in an unverifiable God has always be used to create rules (i.e.) what people should or should not do to receive God's blessings or curses Atheism is not a "belief". Its a mechanism to say "Here's what we know based on facts and here's what we don't know". It is a way to appreciate the world for all its grandeur and complexity without automatically assigning it an all knowing creator.

@@roywallace5899 A lot of folks have been subject to mental conditioning at a young age and that is something that is very hard to overcome. Logic and facts rarely win against deeply held beliefs. Religion is very very old and for all the terrible things it has unleashed, it has still provided people with a sense of structure and belonging. It will take a long time before religion is replaced.

Dont forget it also is always god of my religion
I don't know is better than asserting something without evidence.
'I dont know' is better than ' my good god made us in his image, he did this did that and he loves you'
Good explanation vimoh sir.. Thanks please do more debate with Indian thiests also in hindi.
The Werewolf analogy got me ROFL! 😂😂😂✌️✌️✌️✌️
Not having a reason to believe in God is not a good reason to not believe in God? I can't help myself. I think we're going to need to list a few things we don't have good reason to believe. Starting with the obvious: -Santa -the tooth fairy -easter bunny -the flying spaghetti monster -mermaids -Bigfoot Does it follow that not having a reason to believe in mermaids is not a good reason to not believe in mermaids? I don't think it's necessarily the case that the universe is expand "into something" since space-time is within the universe. Think of it like all the galaxies are dots drawn on the skin of a balloon as it's blowing up, but the skin of the balloon itself is space-time. The analogy is weak because the balloon is in atmosphere, so you need to focus just on the skin and ignore the atmosphere. The atmosphere is in space-time but it wouldn't be true for the balloon as the universe. The *inflation* of the universe had a beginning. That's not the same thing as the universe having a beginning. Wasn't the demonstration of the existence of the Higgs-Boson particle ontological? They had calculated it should exist and set about an experiment to show it existed. I'm still not that confident with ontology.

@Rib_Guy_101 People have claimed to have God or claimed revelation in other ways, but it does not follow that they did, and thus it does not follow that God has given us anything.

They ask questions in round and won't on point as they want to make the word i believe come from your mouth , they keep creating logically fallacies
Wow!
The old man what thinks is logical. And other thinking is illogical. He can say without any evidence that God created this universe. But when vimoh says there a thing which is half human and half werewolf. Will u believe it. He is saying an illogical question. What is the logic behind the old man's thinking.
Hi this was a very interesting conversation. I don't want to debate but just explore it further. We all know that the physical world is ruled by very strict laws. They are almost mathematical in nature and no one calls mathematics, God. However we don't know the spiritual rules, we don't even know that spiritual rules exist. So we know, that we don't know much about anything or many things. So far God per se is defined differently by different people and has remained elusive to all. But if we understand spiritual rules (if they exist) maybe we can then kind of pinpoint multiversal God. Just a thought.

Creator is only one quality that god possess. God by religious definitions has more qualities like love, compassion, mercy , judging, anger etc. Can u explain me why an entity with these much qualities won't work as much as with chance of luck for everyone through communication tool called prayer
You seem to be willing to admit both that there is no absolute proof that God exists and that there is no absolute proof of any other explaination as to how creation was formed. The question then becomes what makes you choose one belief over the other?

My point was that what kind of evidence convinces the theist that there is a god. I have not rejected any evidence because no good evidence has been presented. My position is neither of what you proposed. It is simply 'I don't know'.

@@vimoh "Good evidence" is subjective. You reject the evidence you reject because you deem it to be not good, not because there is proof that it is not good. If there were proof that it were not good then it would not be evidence. Me and you are in the same boat, we both admit that we don't know, the difference is that I believe and you do not.

Being an atheist is to be rational, because the whole concept of faith (in god) is irrational . Religion is just mental gymnastics conveniently linking random events to an entity no one has seen.
To those who believe, no proof is necessary. To those who don't, no proof is possible Vimoh, stop wasting your time.
