Christians trained to think logically and critically? Okay, I'm going to just refrain from commenting there...

The video does point out things that im sure people who study religion have theories about each of these questions. They might seem wierd to you

But last month you answered my questions about a string theory which guys like him our trying to tell us to believe in instead of God. This theory needs a univers with between 4 and 16 dimensions (if i remember correctly) just to make gravity work. Which is just as wierd. And if the dimensions are there why dont they appear to us?

Yet String Theory has a little evidence in it's favor. God has none.

Scientific theories change as new evidence is discovered. Religions don't.

and as to that comment... The fact that you so light heartedly say that all the Christians in the world cant think logically tells me that neither can some non christians.

If you ment that comment to be humours, well I can take a joke and I apologize, but in context, it does not look like a joke to me.

There is no evidence in God if you believe in the String Thoery. There is no evidence in the String theory if you believe in God

Theists can be logical; just not when it comes to their religion.

Sure they can, just because they have an altered perception of what is acceptable doesn't make them crazy.

God isn't about tangible evidence, in fact if there was tangible evidence it might only to undermine him. Because God is about an experience, a feeling, a relationship, etc. God isn't about a magic man that writes advice on the wall after you pray.

But why associate these feelings/experiences with a mighty being that supposedly rules the Universe? This seems incredibly illogical to me.

Some nerdy people did a study showing that dogs don't love people, they only do things they've learned get them attention. But people still love their dogs.

For one person it is logical to love this creature, for another its repulsive, for a third he's dinner.

The answer to your question is simple, people are wired differently. And whether you believe that is because of genes, upbringing, or some sort of God experience it is still very real for that person.

Mershaullk, you seem to be under the impression that Logic is some magic path that leads to truth.

All it is, is a collection of steps that lead from one conclusion to another, originating at something we call Axioms, truths which are accepted to be true without proof.

Logic can come up with many crazy explanations, especially depending upon one's axioms.

But some people have hallucinations, so, since all of their hallucinations are real to them, they must be true?

Should I just bring up Hitler now and end the conversation? :P Sounds like you're reaching.

Bring up what about Hitler, exactly? That most people falsely believe he was an atheist?

No, sorry. It's an old saying that any debate that goes on long enough will eventually have Hitler come up. It is at that point that all avenues have been exhausted. I was referring to that.

again with you scientists. You like groups dont you, you know kingdom, phylum, class etc... Why not take a step back and look? Not all hallucinations are the same. Some are caused by drugs, and some by medical conditions, some by high levels of stress, and some by God.

Who is this "God" you speak of? (The Magic Man?)

Sigh...another attempt to convince my faith away...

OK I am genuinely going to do this live. I have not seen the entire video yet, just question #1. I will honestly do my best to post answers as I get the questions in real time.

CRUCIAL NOTE: I DO NOT CLAIM ALL KNOWLEDGE AND ANSWERS!!! THIS IS MY TAKE ON REALITY ONLY!!!

ALSO I FOLLOW THE CHRISTIAN PATH, YOUR INTERPRETATION OF WHAT I SAY MAY BE WILDLY DIFFERENT!!!

PROCEED WITH CAUTION AND COMMON SENSE!!!

1. The entire concept of Christianity is faith in God. If God healed an amputee, there would be NO FAITH. It would be proven. The entire deal is what you do with your FREE WILL. What is the point of arguing if there is a God if someone gives you his bleeding phone number? Proof is useless.

2. Once again, the answer is God's gift of free will to all people. What we do is up to us entirely. If we choose to help others, great. It is true that people suffer needlessly. But that is not God's doing. It is up to us to choose to help others.

3. God does not condemn these people to death simply because they worked on the wrong day. It was because of our disobedience to His will that separated us from Him and made us subject to His wrath. It may seem silly to condemn people for that fact, but we are not making the rules here. Also, those verses are from the Old Testament. In the New Testament all that has changed.

4. Who the hell is this guy that he KNOWS FOR ALL FACT that what the Bible says is nonsense?!?! I have read a documented case of a sailor being trapped in a whale's belly for several days and surviving...it was in the 1800s (sorry no linky, too lazy ATM). This question is stupid. Next.

5. Slavery...these references need to be considered to whom it was written, and when it was written. At the time, slavery was a common practice. WTF good would it do for me to talk to you about the 14th Law of Malshipnowad? None. But in 50 years, when we discover those laws, it would make sense to us.

6. Bad things to good people...I am tired of this question. I am not given a shield of invulnerability because I am Christian. Just the knowledge that whatever bad thing DOES happen to me, He will be with me to carry me through it.

7. These questions are getting stupider. What does he think Lazarus was? Dead guy. Not a dead guy. Hmmm sounds like proof to me. But OK maybe he wants proof for today's world. Well that ain't gonna happen because once again, proof denies faith.

8. Sigh....OK see #1 (again) This guy needs to make this harder.

9. He did not want you to eat his body and drink His blood. He said as he handed out the meal, "This is my body broken for you"...etc. This is a symbol of His body and blood which was broken and spilled for us. When we eat this meal, we remember Him and His sacrifice for us. With that meal, we are sanctified through faith.

10. Ugh what an idiotic question. Our shortcomings are no reflection on God's power or existence. Once again, free will.

I fail to see any bizarre rationalizations here, and I am not delusional. Whatever.

That was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.

The video had some good points, but it didn't even touch on this: Even if God is imaginary, would it really be better for the world if no one believed in him? Everyone living in fear of going to hell might be good, since people would be more reluctant to commit crimes and such.

No, even people who believe commit horrible crimes. Throughout history, religious beliefs have been used to justify genocide and destruction. Does that mean God is to blame for those things? No, it means that people are not perfect, and will do stupid, negative things. The fear of punishment in the afterlife is not enough to prevent wrong-doing. If it did, there wouldn't be priests getting busted for crimes.
