I agree that the arguments here aren’t very in depth, but they’re not trying to be. All these atheists are acting like they were promised some six hour thesis about philosophy, theology and metaphysics from a learned scholar. In reality it’s just a meme that was probably more so intended to make his fellow Christians laugh than to piss off atheists. A meme that atheists have and do use all the time.

I'm a Catholic but sometimes *"I don't know"* is the only answer I can give. We don't have all the answers and to think so otherwise would be arrogance.

"why did God let evil exist at all"
"Because he's glorified in defeating it"
He who poisoned the river should be praised upon cleansing it?

“Why can’t God destroy evil?”
“He’ll do it eventually.”
“Why can’t he do it now?”
“Because he’ll destroy you.”
“Why does he let bad things happen at all?”
“We deserve it.”
A masterpiece of how not to make an argument

"Why do bad things happen?"
"We deserve it"
welp, I'm convinced

"they can't agree so we can discard their opinions" what a wild statement
overanalyzed
"Well, to be fair, I never said they were GOOD answers"

Saying that God let evil exist because he's glorified in defeating it is like starting your own war and then stopping it and being hailed as a hero, even though you directly caused all the suffering, so really you've just created evil.

How can anyone fail to debunk an argument even after strawmanning it?

was an atheist my whole life. but this video, it changed nothing.

Gotta love how 90% of his answers aren't "no, because..." but "yes, and..."

I can't believe this guy actually tried to pull of the "jarvis, take their argument, depict them as a wojak and reply" strategy

This seems made for people who already agree with you and I get the feeling many of them would have cringed through this video regardless.

As a Christian, I feel this piece falls a little short on the explanation side of things. While I (inner circle, regular Bible reader) can understand the meaning and context to most of the answers to each argument, I don't think the majority of "answers" really answered anything. It often just posited an opposing point, without sufficient supporting evidence. The answers with quotes from Church fathers and Bible quotes were the best responses. Every answer to each of these questions should tie back to those things in some way.

2:46 exodus 21:20-21
"Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property"
Redeemed zoomer, please explain this verse to me

as a christian i find your response to the problem of evil disturbing and flat out wrong factually speaking

Why did god let evil exist in the first place?
-Because he's glorified in defeating it.
Thats pride, the main sin

I was looking for actually good arguments to challenge my atheism, and after watching this video, I found none. The amazingly massive amount of logical fallcies and wordplay in this video is absolutely breathtaking.
