When I was a kid I remember trying to sleep in every Sunday. Pretending that I was still asleep even when my mom would yell for me to get up and get ready for church. I liked my church friends but I hated going. Sitting in a pew that killed my back and having beliefs shoved down my throat. I liked the thought of heaven but was always told that all of us were sinners and all I ever thought of was “why? I’m a good kid.” I’d never put my kids through that.
@kcgirlgeek Sounds like your parents really were amazing.
It wasn’t hard for me to imagine God loved me more than my family did. I never believed in a really & truly ALL powerful god, so it wasn’t his fault (to me) when things went wrong. It was only as I accepted the idea of omnipotence being a characteristic of the Biblical god that I began to doubt his morality (which I now despise.)
You know what’s really strange? I always saw my mother and father as so much more kind and loving than God. I never once in all my life WONDERED if they loved me. Even when my sister outed me (as being a lesbian – she found a letter from a gf) at the dinner table one night….my parents were amazing. SHE got in trouble for snooping in my room (& also breaking some of my albums), and I got kindness and compassion. THAT – seems logical. I wasn’t hurting anyone. My parents, unlike God, were fair.
@hwzephyr Thank you for your non-angry, non-Christian comment
You must get loads of angry christians leaving comments. I’m very happily not one of them, and it’s nice to see/hear a viewpoint that isn’t christian, for once. Refreshing. Thank you for your video.
@DonBot2point0 Oh so you’re here to defend your poor Jesus? Naw, fuck that.
@AngieAntiTheist-Because I know this is all you do is make youtube videos and wait for ppl to respond. And i think its sad and yet comical on what you believe in and since you LOVE to bash the Bible and all that its worth, Im standing up for all those Christians and God that you love to harass so much. What exactly has He done to you to be so mad? Tell me, is it worth making so many videos and must you be so revealing in some as well? Who exactly are you trying to attract hmm?
@DonBot2point0 And yet you keep leaving comments.
@elevate29consulting No pain above my right eye, just a lot of theist pains in my ass.
@itllfly78-She may. She only chooses to see certain things in what you say therefore she is foolish yes? Angie, the Bible promises a good life and happiness. To be a noble, honest, truthful, decent, patient, loving, discerning, wise, and a righteous person. All by following Gods Word and following His perfect example of what a human should be like, we are PROMISED grace from God
@AngieAntiTheist-. Im saying that whatever is making things work for me that I look up to, EVEN IF theres nothing there, is making things happen in my life. Im open to what you may say but that doesnt mean Im going to agree . Trying to explain how I’ve been healed and my salvation and my baptism of the Holy Spirit and all the amazing testimony’s of so many that I’ve heard and witnessed would be a waste of air. Why cast pearls before swine? To you, these things would be described as phenomenon
Angie, I believe that the LORD showed me the pain that you have been experiencing above your right eye. Your head has been hurting, and you have been wondering about it. Jesus heals you (check it out). And, your deception leaves you. I break it off in the name of the LORD. May His love shine upon you. Fire for you. You are His. He calls you His own. May you know peace…finally. May you know His love. May perfect love be yours.
@DonBot2point0 If you’re going to believe, even if it’s false, how can you claim to be open minded? You’ve already decided what to believe, and facts apparently need not apply.
@AngieAntiTheist-Since I’ve taken time and sacrifice out of my own life and my precious time to believe in Christ, therefore He rewards me. Its a simple relationship I’ve developed with Him. I dont gotta pray 5 times a day, i dont have to worship any statue. All I have to do is abide by Christ learn about Him and you’ll be amazed on what calls to your life. You think I didnt question all day and night about God and His purpose for me and whether or not He’s real?It took much time to understand
@AngieAntiTheist-hhaha yikes! So you must live it up everyday then knowing your afterlife is full of nothingness right? Listen, being a Christian doesnt make me close minded to all other theory’s of afterlife, its something thats given meaning to my life. EVEN IF, all that I’ve experienced is somehow false, I will still believe; for that it has changed my life for all that is good. Its what makes me joyful. Joyfulness is a choice not a feeling.
Wow, the emotion and passion in this video is moving. You kid is lucky to have a parent love them so much!
Keep up the good work AngieAntiTheist! I hope one day the world will be freed from the chains of religion!
@itllfly78 How will I remember anything once my brain has died? Oh that’s right, I won’t. I’m perfectly aware of your shitty wager. Are you aware of just how many arguments there are against that wager? (Hint, go see my video Pascal’s Wager for more on why I think you’re wasting your life!)
you are missing the wager. Miserable and sad is to find out that you were wrong on the other side. OOPs too late now , ITLLFLY tried to tell me but I was deceived. you will remember these words.
@itllfly78 Pascal’s wager was never a good bet. You’re mortgaging your future, your own life we know we have, on the hopes you’ll have an afterlife. How wasteful and sad.
There is a day coming in which every man or womans beliefs will be tested. We only get one life to get it right. If Christainity is bogus then Christains are foolish BUT if there is only one way to heaven and that through belief that Jesus died for our sins and all those who believe and put their trust in him enter into a relationship with him and live spiritually forever, We win, overcome this world, You can’t afford to be wrong. One way, its a narrow road, Jesus is the Way
Back when my mother used to attend masses at the local Methodist church she would sometimes take me with her. When I was around 5 she decided to leave me in the Sunday school room so I wouldn`t interrupt mass by doing what little kids do; talking loud, making random noises etc. The teacher was talking about Noah`s arc. I was unwilling to go along with it as soon as she said “God told Noah…” When she got to the part about two of each animal being crammed onto a boat I walked out.
@DonBot2point0 Too much God flies you into buildings and kills doctors. Too much God kills thousands of innocents in holy wars and crusades. Too much God hinders scientific progress and demonizes those that try to better our society through understanding. Too much God is too much insanity.
@DonBot2point0 This is the one thing I envy about Christians: the ability to write out a whole paragraph without saying anything.
Yeah, you could say I was saved. I was a Christian. I’m not proud of it because in the end it brought me nothing but pain. I’ve always been told that God would help me as I struggled with doubt. Guess what, he didn’t. I asked him if he was just a voice in my head and never got a reply. Scared the crap out of me. I was convinced I was going to hell. It was horrifying.
