4 Weird Questions That Might Make You an Atheist

Ever wonder if the concept of god can be debunked with a single question? If you define a god's nature specifically enough, it can sometimes be done. The questions in this video relate to the problem of evil, as well as Pascal's Wager, and address the Abrahamic god of Christianity, Judaism, etc. If you ever wonder, "Why did God inspire the Bible?" "Is scripture the word of God?" "Why isn't it a sin to eat meat?" "Should I believe in God just in case?" or "Why does God send people to hell?" then this video is for you.

Remember to give me your unusual questions about god! If I get some interesting ones, I might have to make another video like this!

[starsalazar]

I remember when one of the people preaching at my church said, “don’t question it too much or the devil might confuse you”

[dani.phantm]

my question was: Why would a so-described fair and loving God first create me when I didn’t ask to be created, and then condemn me to eternal suffering and damnation for losing a game I didn’t ask to play?

late edit: my statement was not “I wish I wasn’t created”, it was “I didn’t ask to be created”. There’s a stark difference.

For me the whole idea of "God loves you unconditionally but if you don't bealive in him he will send you for ethernal suffering" and "It's all God's plan he's too perfect for us to understand it" is extremely gaslighting.

[alanhowell]

My favorite to toss around at church as a kid was that if god has a predetermined plan for everything youve spent most of your life actively fighting gods plan with prayers

[ryanhessler]

The concept of prayer started my questioning. I was always told to pray about it. You see people with cancer pray to be cured and they beat it and proclaim it was their faith and the power of prayer, while 10 more do the same, with the same devotion, and still die.

[fhmconsulting]

The question that broke it for me was the whole "if you repent and accept god into your heart all sins are forgiven". I then asked the priest would Adolf Hitler or Pol Pot be forgiven if they repented. Of course, he said God forgives all who accept him in their heart.
So god forgives the very worst human being if they worship him? But if you are good, but you don't worship him you are punished with eternal pain? It seemed like un-controlled psychopathic narcissism to me.

"No Gods were harmed in the making of this video."

[mrtoestie]

I was raised christian. Somewhere in my pre-teens I began to question all the other religions. Why were there so many different religions and gods? Then I begun to ask what separates christianity from other that answer lead me to atheism. I think I understand why religion is important, but I also understand that a lot of it is purely a cultural hand-me-down.

If god wants a relationship then why doesn’t he talk with us clearly.

[phil_]

For me, the question that really shook my faith was "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

[naturesounds]

"The Lord works in mysterious ways... " if i had a nickel for every time i've heard that as a response...

[lenbotomy]

Teenager here, was debating with my highly religious dad the other day about my personal beliefs and how he tries to convert me to christianity and i told him how i listened to him and never ever took anything as it is and always highly researched every aspect of everything i choose to believe. What he said after that was along the lines of “i wish you weren’t so smart for your age. Sometimes being dumb and not questioning and going with the crowd is better”.

[paulpiasta]

In first communion I asked, "Why is there a devil?" The answer was always, "Well, if there's a god there has to be a devil." Makes no sense. Then I asked, "Who made god?" I was slapped by a nun.

[zau]

After a lot of mental gymnastics and trying to rationalize God's behavior, I asked myself the question that made me an atheist:

Why am I having to explain God's actions?

Or in other words: "Why is it our job to make excuses for his behavior?"

[Venm.snak]

I remember when one of my classmates asked our religion teacher "what if Jesus was just really smart took advantage of how dumb people were?" They got suspended for two weeks and wasn't allowed on the computers for 3 months

[katielgk]

I used to ask a lot as a kid, "what happens to people who never get a chance to learn about God?" The answer usually was, "They go to heaven anyway."
Took me a while to come up with a follow up question: "Then shouldn't we keep it a secret?"
That's what finally changed my mindset.

[aspiring.creative.person]

My first question was “If God’s existence is so obvious, why do we have to tell people about him?” The preacher of that sermon literally had two points of “God is evident in nature” and “People aren’t gonna believe if no one tells them about God”

[p_studios]

The one that really got me was Mr Atheist’s “what’s the difference between a god that works in mysterious ways and a universe that functions without one?” And really, just the entire concept of prayer being bullshit

[MegaBlueboi]

The realization that "broke" me was when I came to realize that I was really only Catholic because my parents happen to be Catholic. Likewise, they happened to be Catholic because their parents were. And they in turn were Catholic because theirs was too, etc. I am from an Asian country where around 80% of the population are Catholic, where the top schools and universities are Catholic, and its government leaders mostly Catholic. So of course, with little to no surprise to statistical probability, I too was raised Catholic.

If I happened to be born a little more down south my country where a good number of the people are of Islamic faith, then I'd most probably be a Muslim. If happened to be born across the sea to the east, I'd probably be into Hinduism. If I were a born much further east, then maybe I'd be Jewish, and so on and so forth.

The point is, I really only was born into my religion.It just so happened that I was born in my circumstances and therefore raised Catholic. But how on earth does that mere chance mean that my religion was the right one? Does that mean I got lucky and every person born into other religions just unfortunately so happened to be raised into a false one? I asked myself that if I was indeed born into a different religion, would I still end up finding God and worship him in the Catholic tradition that I was raised in? Of course the answer was nope lmaooo
