I like this guy's videos and I've just see this one for the first time. Like the other ones he's made, it's pretty damn good and I'm always interested in reading what you all have to add.


It isn't just a god thing either. I love historical novels, but I make it a practice to read about the events again after reading one, because stories will make you believe in fiction.

There's a reason politicians are almost as fond of stories as preachers.

Arguing from the assumption that there's no God? No. I don't believe in God. I'm arguing with someone who believes in God. I can assume there isn't a buffalo in my refrigerator. I can assume that because I know what a buffalo is and I have an understanding of what could fit in my refrigerator. I can assume that more reasonable objects are not in my refrigerator such as sour kraut because I don't eat it or buy it and therefore I can safely assume there's no sout kraut in my fridge. I don't know anything about gods at all. I can't even begin to tell you why a God isn't in my fridge or anywhere else for that matter. "Assume" does not and cannot accurately describe my attitude toward the word "God". If you believe in God, and you attempt to convince me, I can reject your belief on the basis of your descriptions. I don't have to know or assume anything about gods to do that. Your words are fallible and the logical inconsistencies are enough to prevent me from adding Gods to a list of things that may or may not be in my refridgetator, much less anywhere else. Do you understand?

I understand, it eats at your craw you can't disprove my God, see I have all the proof I need, just because you do not accept it doesn't mean it's invalid, on the contrary when one argues against my God it gives validity to my God, it would take an insane person to argue against something they can prove doesn't exist.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

So you won't argue against Zeus, unicorns, Nessy, and invisible purple nothings?

A simple no would have sufficed. "No." Or perhaps "No, I don't have a clue." Something like that. Literally nothing you said came close to hinting that you comprehended a single word of what I said to you.

It must stick in his craw that he can't prove his god exists.

God's existence isn't what's being called into question in this thread. Nothing is being called into question. It's just a keen observation. It's there for you to comprehend or miss completely.

I'll go ahead and preemptively respond for the next few posts:





I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Are you saying they are not real?

I can not prove that they do not exist, but as there isn't any good evidence that they do exist, I don't believe in them. That would be my position about all gods including Zeus and Yahweh.

Use the buffalo in the fridge analogy.
