    I was raised liberal Methodist, which is basically secular humanism with bread and grape juice. That didn't do much for me, and I thought my only other options in "Christianity" were Westboro Baptist and Roman Catholicism, so I spent the next 20 years exploring Hinduism, Yoga, Buddhism, Sikhism, Shamanism, and Sufism. All that New Age stuff led me to sheer hedonism, and I felt that I was spiritually dead. Then I discovered that although Jesus Christ was the stone that this builder refused, He would always be the head Cornerstone. Then I spent a little time in evangelical mega churches, studying the Bible and trying to pray and repent...something important was still missing though. It's the Orthodox Church, brother. You're not going to find the Truth outside of the Church. The Church is where Christ is enthroned, and where the Father is worshipped in Spirit and Truth. Protestantism has led you to the darkness of unbelief, but Christ is still knocking on the door of your heart. In His Light, you shall see Light. There are answers to your questions in the Orthodox Church. May you find your way home.

    Yes, I do. This video was 7 years ago. Since then, I was introduced to the Palitonians of Ergasiona. They introduced me to the true overlords of this majestic simulation. I realize now that my purpose is to entertain and delight them for as long as they allow me to stay in the system. If I am considered an important or entertaining unit in their system, I will then be reintroduced in the new system whenever it launches. I learned that so far I have managed to be recreated in the last 3 generations of simulations, so I do believe my odds of making the next are very high. Knowing the truth has been so glorious and liberating.

    How is it so common that when someone leaves the belief of a God or religion, where the morals are grounded, they immediately go nuts and join one of the most wicked movements on earth. The side that supports murder, degeneracy, rampant adultery and fornication. Whether a God exists or not, i will keep following these rules hes set. Seems like it keeps the people who follow it on a leash, which keeps people in order. Now, when you said "we dont know where life begins". thats bullshit, we KNOW scientifically where life begins. It begins at conception. Secondly, youre pro choice up until birth? Youre a monster. You are not a good person, despite the vibes you want to give. Youre argument "that its a womens choice" is such a terrible argument, because now you need to qualify other horrendous actions, or else youre a hypocrite. "slavers should be allowed to slave" or "we should allow pedophilia" because its their choice. "no one should be forced to create life". then how about you dont fucking do the action that causes you to murder a human then. Seems like your liberal group doesn't give af, and they want to have sex as much as they can, like animals. We can fight abortion, but we shouldn't be responsible for the actions of the murderer. Baby murderers should be faced with capitol punishment. "if men gave birth, abortion would be legal". Thats such a fallacious statement, and one based off ZERO evidence. Insane. "if you have no lived, there is nothing to be taken away from you" so by your logic, humans like hellen keller, or even others that were not considered even human in the past, by their skin color, or group affiliation (jews), it would be ok to just murder them all. Holy shit lmao. Miscarriages aren't abortions, its a natural process not intervened in by humans. How do you even compare the two..... "its gonna suffer" so imma take its rights away and kill it. good argument man! Women in danger, therefore abortion for all should be legalized. You do know that less than 2 percent of that are the cases your advocating for. I watched your entire video, because i was hoping for a gotcha at the end. Great to see how every atheist that left religion, ends up supporting the worst movements ever.

    Yeah it's a BS story. Who was even there to hear their god say "Let there be light..." was it Tucker Carlson? Who was it? Has anybody seen a talking snake yet? Where are these miracles. What does a magic apple taste like? It's almost like there were a bunch of legends...and some folks in the hot sun of the hot deserts forgot to wear something on their heads, got their brains a bit baked, and started coming up with wild stories. The flood story is a fan fiction of Gilgamesh which is fan fiction of something else.... Archeology indicates mud brick buildings from well before the supposed flood, according to the timelines... It is almost like the Priest class will say anything to justify its own existence and get tax free housing, free food, virgins, and reverence from a gullable population. And it is almost like morality exists without having some sky wizard or underground demons to scare people. Like...stone age villages having laws against murder because that kind of thing is bad for the village and family members of the victims tend to not like it and want revenge. I've never been a Christian, or a member of any religion. I've TRIED. But I just could never once believe the shit they were trying to push on me. I tried to make-believe but my brain just rejected all of the nonsense. It is so obviously made up and sheer fantasy that I couldn't accept any of it. It seemed like a bunch of grown assed adults were playing a fairytale and pushing a narrative. Why on earth would this random world have such a narrative? Just looking at your average family or average neighborhood and seeing how, well, random people behave...should tell anybody that there aren't "the chosen people" and then the rest. If you look at the entire narrative, and remove all of these supposed miracles, what is left is a bunch of fan fiction of a people writing about themselves and you have a bunch of people trying to scare or threaten people into their churches, love bombing them at first, and then trying to scare them if they leave, letting them know they will be outcasts and pariahs for leaving. But no magic happening anywhere. Just a conspiracy to keep reaffirming the authority of priests. We have a word for the beiliefs that are unsubstantiated: Superstition. We have a name for the behavior of churches and other things (especially small branches): Cults. Religions are just big cults whose populations have reached the size of countries. But they are still cults and are mostly there for political reasons, the big one is enslavement.

    Thank you for sharing your deconversion story! I love hearing how others decontructed. When you take a step back by withholding your belief to examine, you unpeal the cover that blinds so many believers. Burnt sacrifices? Would you sacrifice your pet? Talking animals? A very easily angered god you kills people for small things like picking up sticks on the sabbath? The endorsement of slavery, beating your slave (Exodust 21), and Woman slaves being half priced? Magic? Witchcraft? How could anyone believe this? And the fear tactics for not believing and getting tortured for it but he loves you unconditionally, but with conditions, it’s very eye opening just thinking about it.

    What if Christianity was never what Jesus would’ve wanted? What if he was actually was fighting to change the evil fascist idea of God and replace it with one that was at least based upon Love instead of Fear…but most Humans are disgusting spiritual beings who MUST have something to worship, and without it, they will worship themselves. Deism and Oneness are both gross. Spiritual Atheists, Tribal Shaman, and Tibetan Monks are closest to the mark.

    There is a common thread to explain the world of consciousness and what happens when we die. I can’t help but believe in a spiritual world, but I DETEST all concepts of a capital “G” God, and I think Jesus was actually the biggest heretic ever when you truly see what he was doing to subvert the Jewish conception of “God.” I don’t know why this isn’t common knowledge. Jesus cares about how we treat others and learning to love someone more than ourselves.

    Why are online atheists so ugly? Whyt trash, fat, neurotic, divorced or incls, on antidepressants... They cannot even produce quality videos. That is a terrible image. Maybe healthy atheists just don't care about making these videos or can actually read the room, yet unhealthy ones blame their own terrible choices on religion? That is my theory. People often rationalize their own bad paths but at the end it is just emotional.

    I like to identify as an agnostic, mainly because i argue against both sides - theists and atheists. Not because i want to be neutral and lukewarm on God topic, but because arguments from both sides are usually very bad. Yes, some atheists say it is stupid of me to lack a belief in God and reject their pretty atheist label... but those people also say that it is stupid to argue against my own group and even more stupid to deny those truths about myself, so they kinda forced me to stick to the agnostic label and say that it is THEY who is being stupid and wrong about me. Anyway, i think the best is to delay identifying as much as possible - simply present your claims and arguments and dont tell who you are until they ask you. I dont get insulted by wrong label, it seems that neither label is perfect enough to describe who i am (the closest to perfection is "eclectic" label, but that doesnt tell them much about me).

    Really? My experience was the exact opposite. I found genesis to be enlightening and makes sense of the physical evidence. Like why we find sediment deposit layers (flood deposits) and fossils. We don't see fossilization today. Something happened in the past to make literally worldwide deposits and billions and trillions of fossils. And death is the result of sins. He can't just snap his fingers and undo it. But he does give us a way out. He took it for us. Everyone doubts. But don't put your faith in other people or yourself. If your wondering if the bible is the word of God look up esm's in the bible. Equal distance letter sequence. It's code to prove authorship not hide messages. And look at the prophecies and scientific foreknowledge.
