There's something I'd like to see addressed if it's not already too late or maybe it belongs in another video but, it would be sweet to have in this one since I assume many Christians will probably watch it.
As a former evangelical of a couple decades, one thing, in my opinion, that really keeps Christianity alive is this idea of Jesus' 2nd coming &
rapture. The thing they don't spend any time considering is all the death and destruction that will result due to all these 'End Times' prophecies.
If god really exists and cares about us, God should understand our logical concerns regarding credible evidence. But, when it comes to valid evidence for God, Jesus, Christianity or any religion, God doesn't seem to give a shit. Christians need to ponder upon all the death and destruction due to religious bigotry, fundamentalism and cultural prejudice. Christians need to realize that
WE ARE NOT THE ENEMY.
250 million been killed in the name of ChristianityPagan Destruction Chronology (314-870 C.E.)How many has God killed?God/Jesus is supposed to be the omniscient, omnipotent creator of the universe yet is incapable of leaving behind credible evidence of himself which would:
1. Save Christians from persecution
2. Convince billions more skeptics and Pagans thus, saving more souls, which is what all of this is suppose to be all about, right?
So, either God/Jesus doesn't give a shit about you or he doesn't exist. All theistic arguments have failed. There's still not a shred of valid evidence for Christian supernatural religious claims. If there were any credible evidence
FAITH would not be the main requirement. It seems more likely that religion is a human creation with an obsession of ridding the world of non-believers.
At the end of the day after the tribulation, apocalypse and Armageddon, the book of Revelation makes it clear that eventually 2/3rds of the human population (all non-believers of course =
discrimination) will be killed in what the religious tolerance website calls
"the largest mass extermination of humans in history." With nearly 7 billion people on the planet right now that's 5.25 billion who will be murdered in the
'End Times.' What a sweet God you've got there (sarcasm). And what really gets me is that the word
"rapture" isn't even in the bible.
Blatant Discrimination against non-believers:1 John 4:2-3 Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.
2 John 7: "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh..."
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God
Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, 'There is no god.' they are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good.
