Atheists aren't "suppressing" anything. They simply don't believe in God/god/gods for LACK OF EVIDENCE (real evidence, not bible passages – those are claims not evidence). Atheists are suppressing the truth about the Christian God the same way Christians are suppressing the truth about Allah, or Zeus, or Brahma. Don't care about those other gods because you don't believe they're real? Well, that's how atheists feel about your god.
The evidence of God is not obvious to me. I'm not denying anything obvious to me. I don't have to work to suppress anything. I simply don't see the evidence. This video is an example of Christian being completely incapable of seeing something from another person's perspective. He thinks I must draw the same conclusion as him or I'm simply lying or suppressing the truth. Well I'm not. Romans 1 is wrong. Own it and come up with some evidence.
With so many prophecies fulfilled by Christ and a few more to be fulfilled, that's why I believe.
It is quite remarkable really. I can comprehend, understand and even respect(the belif) of someone who is dead sure God exists, but the person who is dead sure he exists can not comprehend, understand or respect, that I, another person, does not BELIEVE as they do. Would you like to comment on that? (Apologies for my english, it is not my first language)
What strikes me is this use of the phrase "suppressing the truth in unrighteousness"- to the degree that we express ourselves to others with phrases we didn't invent and which we may not even understand, we are not communicating any actual thoughts. This is what George Orwell called "duckspeak". So how is "suppressing the truth in unrighteousness" different from just suppressing the truth? Is that not by itself unrighteous? And why suppressing it, as opposed to denying it? Another good example: "The wages of sin is death". I suggest comparing how much people who use this exact phrase from the KJV are actually thinking about what it means, as compared with , say, "the wages of sin are death." or "the reward for sin is death."
Do Christians actually believe this about Atheists? I'd really be interested to hear from a Christian, why non-belief is impossible, and all atheists must simply be pretending.
Care to present some actual evidence for your supposed god before making all of these assertions?
There is no reason or logic on this channel, only irrational belief in superstition.
Is your channel's name supposed to be satirical?
As an atheist, I couldn't bring myself to thumb this video down because I found it so entertaining.
I'll save people the trouble of watching this almost 3 minute video. He keeps bringing up the bible to support the claims of the bible.
You get this wrong. It should be 'Theists suppress the truth with self-righteousness'.
GIGO
Atheists deny God because they want to sin?
And I suppose people pretend that police don't exist so they can commit crimes?
"You can't arrest me, officer, you don't exist!"
The moment you find anyone using this as a legal defense, I may consider your position somewhat plausible.
You people just want to commit crimes, so that's why you believe police men don't exist! Because as we all know, pretending policemen don't exist when they actually do makes crime okay to do. It says so right here in my book, Morans Chapter 1, which very clearly states: "ya'll just don't believe in the police 'cuz ya want to do bad things."
See, in this analogy the police is god. You feel that god is very real, and we understand that you think that. The point is that your explanation for why people don't believe in god is nonsensical. If I actually thought there was some disembodied mind called "god", I wouldn't deny it – I'd say "sure, there is a god. If he's anything like the god of the bible, then he's a monster, and I'm morally superior to him."
This guy thinks Muslims believe "I want to sin, so I'm not going to be a Christian. Instead, I'll join some religion that is even more restrictive!"
This explains why Christians believe that heavier things fall faster than lighter things.
… They don't? Then they're obviously Devil worshippers. They're suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.
“Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it’s still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise."
You are too old to think, just die already.
Theists ignore truth in self-righteousness.
Atheists discuss truth with irreverence.
Bullshit, if I thought god exist and I wanted to sin I'd be a christian. That way I could just be a cunt then die happy knowing I'm ok because jesus paid to atone for my sins.
not sure if more appalled by your ignorance or your arrogance. nobody gives a fuck what your book says. Your book is the claim. it Is not evidence. You fucking idiot. there isn't one single solitary shred of evidence that your invisible friend is real. feel free to provide evidence period not going to hold my breath however
Isn't it funny how those "false religions" are exactly like yours? Why are you denying the obvious existence of Odin, he made everything you know. I'm going outside now and deny the existence of laws and cops, which I know exist, so I can commit crimes with no repercussions. Just like those people you seem to think "claim to" believe in other gods/religions, that punish sins HARDER than yours, so they can sin with NO punishment. Because apparently that works and makes sense, to you…
00:32 – Romans 1:20 says that God's eternal power and divine nature are the invisible attributes we all supposedly see in nature. So what are the things in the natural world around us that clearly reflect divinity and eternality? And why don't Christians instinctively point out these natural evidences instead of merely reciting the passage in Romans? Could it be that reciting the passage is much, much easier than identifying the "clear" invisible attributes?
