Crazy Bible – HUGE mistake atheists make about the Bible

I do admit there are things in the universe I don’t understand.
[host] Okay.
But my response to that is not to make up silly stories.
[host] They’re pretty good stories. Some of them are pretty good stories. 40% 45% of the American people believe literally in
Adam and Eve. I mean that’s a shocking figure. What is special about that book? Because you believe it’s all true, don’t you?
– I do, yeah. And his wife turned into a block of salt when she looked back. Do you believe that that happened?
-I believe it happened because Jesus did. The goat herders guide to the universe. Before approaching the bench in traffic court I think most people who claim they’re religious don’t really think Jonah lived inside of a whale or
has meaning in our own lives. Our lives can become
in fact richer then – then – then believing in – in these fairy tales. When you were a kid and they were telling you whatever you believe in religion, do you think if they had switched the fairy tales that they read to you in bed with the Bible you would know the difference? Do you think if there was the fairy tale about a man who lived inside of a whale and it was religion that Jack built the beanstalk, today, you would know the difference? Why do you believe in one fairy tale and not the other? So when someone says they believe in the Word of God, literally, what do you mean when you say that? And no one’s ever answered me. There’s a code going on, that I need the Rosetta Stone. I need someone to sit me down and go, “Penn…” Penn, I actually took you up on your offer. Three times, I asked you to come and sit down with me and three times you refused. The first time was after I’d interviewed professor Lawrence Krauss for one of our movies in a hotel room in Washington, DC. “Would you like to do an interview?” You declined. The second time I asked you to sit down with me was a little later, after Professor Krauss had interviewed me. You declined. The third time was when you approached me on the sidewalk outside of the hotel. Once again, you refused, this time is saying that you weren’t qualified. Why don’t you and I sit down and have a talk? I’d really ppreciate a talk. You then asked me who it was that made God. After I answered that question, I gave you scientific evidence for God’s existence. A 15-minute conversation was filmed. It was very congenial and, in fact, a few days later, you spoke well of it both on your podcast and in a magazine interview. But then I received an email from your manager that talked about your New York attorneys becoming involved if we publicly release the footage. For some reason, you didn’t want anyone to see it. So it’s made me wonder if you’re really sincere about wanting to know that code. But I’ll share it anyway. No one’s ever answered me. There’s a code going on that I need the rosetta stone.
[Ray] The Rosetta Stone was found in 1799 and was the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. To give you the code you say that you want, we’ll go back to 2013, to fellow atheist, Jaclyn Glenn, just after she had seen our film, “Evolution vs. God.” She wasn’t too excited about it. I make fun of people like you. Okay, I take idiotic extremists like you and make them look like a fool. Listen, sometimes people like you deserve to be insulted, okay? Sometimes people are worthy of being insulted in the worst possible way and you are at the top of that list. Cause you sir, are certainly deserving of insults. Did you know what you deserve worse than that, in my opinion? Because, you want to know why? You are so entirely **** that calling you stupid isn’t good enough. You are a liar. You are a con man. This guy is a scam artist. He’s conning everyone. If you don’t know who Ray Comfort is, he is Banana Man. That’s Ray Comfort. He is the guy who made the documentary, “documentary,” “Evolution vs. God,” that I debunked. Now, this was a long time ago and because of that video that I made, that actually got quite a bit of attention. Ray Comfort hates me. I just went through my mail and I got this letter and this is the one of the craziest things I’ve ever gotten in my p.o box. But this particular letter, when I opened it, my jaw hit the floor and you guys are gonna see, but this this is what I got in my p.o box that totally blew my mind. So I first of all, I open I open the package and I think, I see this, it says Living Waters on it and I know Living Waters, the front says Living Waters and I know what that is, because that is the YouTube channel that Ray Comfort uses to post his videos, like, for example, the one that I just reviewed. Christmas Gone Viral and you know Ray Comfort, Banana Man, who says bananas are evidence for God, etc. I explained this in my last video. So Living Waters is something I recognized. This person sent me a hundred dollar gift card which is – lets – so, that’s a lot of money. So I was a surprised and then I look at this letter and it’s a very short letter, but it says, “Jaclyn, from Ray and Sue Comfort. PS. Saw your review of Christmas Gone Viral. BTW. I don’t hate you. Smiley face. I’m not even kidding. I don’t think that this is a joke. I think this really is him and that’s amazing, that if he doesn’t really hate me, I think that is amazing, cause I have not been censored or I haven’t been gentle in going after some of the things he’s posted on the Internet, but if he wants to, if he wants to be friends, Ray Comfort, if you’re watching this, I would totally make a video with you if you are interested in an interview or a debate of some kind or just a silly video saying hello. It doesn’t have to be anything too crazy. It can be something, you know, that we both agree is comfortable. I would totally make a video with you. But this just blew my mind. I can’t believe I got a – I got a friggin card, a gift card from Ray Comfort and he saw my – he saw my video review that just, like, it made my day and I just I had to open with this cuz I mean, I don’t know. I don’t know if people understand the gravity of this for me. I have been feuding with Ray Comfort for, like, four years. Okay, the first thing I made against him was, like, forever ago. And then he made a video back at me and it was this crazy thing, so for this to happen, now after all of this time is just like “psssshh!” But anyways, I’m super excited about it and the rest of, the rest the mail that I got… I would totally make a video with you, so right now, I’m about ready to sit here on skype with Ray Comfort to talk to him about his film that just came out, called “The Fool.” Here we go. Hi, how are you?
[Ray] I’m very good, thank you, Jaclyn. Great! Well, it’s nice to kind of meet you. I appreciate you sent me a gift card. You sent me a gift cards on one of my videos and that was very nice of you. Even though we obviously have our differences. I think that’s obvious. We’re so, hopefully, going to be able to have, like, a relaxed, like, conversation. I noticed, this is another thing that seemed to be consistent throughout The Fool, is that atheism keeps being referred to as a belief system, which is something I strongly disagree with, but atheism isn’t a belief, so I’m kind of curious as to what your rationale is behind that. [Ray] So would it affect your life if you believed? [Jaclyn] Course.
[Ray] Yes. So beliefs are very important.
[Jaclyn] Sure. All day. But my point is that atheism is not a belief. [Ray] Why would you be afraid to say it’s a belief? Why is it such a big issue? [Jaclyn] It’s not a fear. There’s no fear involved.
[Ray] Well, I get – all atheists say, “I don’t believe. I don’t have faith.” There’s nothing wrong with faith. You’ve got faith in something. [Jaclyn] I don’t. Well. Okay, you know what I mean. I’m referring to God.
[Ray] Yes, I know. That’s the problem. I think one of the most difficult things that a Christian can ever do is try and tell someone to believe the Bible, because the Bible’s full of crazy-sounding stories on a par with Cinderella’s coach turning into a pumpkin at midnight. [Jaclyn] Wow. I never expected to hear you say that.
[Ray] Absolutely. It’s full of crazy stories, like a talking snake. [Ray] Do your think a snake could talk?
No.
[Ray] I’m going something crazy. I’m gonna try and talk you into the thought that a snake could possibly talk and I’ll probably get called “The Talking Snake Man” for this, But I’m just going to have a go, so bear with me, trust me on this.
[Jaclyn] Okay. You know, I think snakes may think, “Because I’ve got a brain,” and maybe a snake thinks in snake language, “today I’m going to get up from lying here and go and lie in the sun for a couple of hours and then I’m going to eat a mouse for lunch.” Maybe a snake thinks. Maybe not in English, but in snake language. Scientists tell us that dolphins communicate with each other, same with whales. My dog talks to me. He says, “Someone’s at the door! Door! Door! Careful!” You know, he’s barking away and I know what he’s saying. He’s trying to warn me in his language. An atheist, someone who embraces Darwinian evolution, believes that he’s an animal that evolution gave vocal chords to, so if a snake had vocal cords, perhaps it could possibly talk, maybe not in English. {Ray] Do you think a snake could think?
– Uh, yeah.
{Ray] So if the snake had vocal cords, could a snake talk?
-Yes.
[Ray] Maybe you’d give me that concession. Maybe, perhaps, that could happen. Okay now I’ve got a problem. I’ve got to convince you that Lot’s wife turned to a pillar of salt, that Jonah was swallowed by a whale, that Noah built an ark, that Joshua stopped the sun, that Baalam’s ass spoke with a man’s voice, that Jesus walked on water, that he fed a crowd of 5,000 with a kid’s lunch. I mean stories that are on a par with Cinderella’s coach turning into a pumpkin. There is an easier way, a far easier way to convince you of what the Bible says and this it. Imagine I’ve been building a house for six weeks and I’m getting really annoyed at the electricians, because they keep telling me the power will be on next week, next Monday. They leave notes, “Tuesday,” and then another note, “It’s on on Friday,” and I’m getting really annoyed with the electricians and then I get to the building and I see a note on the door. It says, “Electrical on. Fred.” Now, Fred’s the boss. And you think, you know, “Here we go, another lie from Fred, himself,” and I’m skeptical. I go in and I pull the power switch and the light comes on. The power gave authenticity to the note. It showed me, when the power came on, that the note truly was from the boss. The gospel is the power and the note is the Bible when I became a Christian, nobody talked me into those crazy Bible stories. The power of the gospel gave me light. My understanding was enlightened. I came out of darkness to light, from death to life, I was made a brand new creature in Christ, and here’s my point: when I opened the Bible, it came alive and it told me, this 2,000 3,000 year old book told me exactly what I had experienced. The new birth has made a new creature in Christ to come out of darkness into light and receive God’s gift of everlasting life. So the way to convince you of the truth of Christianity isn’t through your intellect. It’s through the power of the gospel. And so the question is, why are the crazy stories in the Bible? They’re intellectually offensive.
[Michael Shermer] This is just ridiculous. It is so ridiculous, I find it embarrassing. [Ray] Well, there is an answer. That’s what I read in the book of Corinthians. That tells you exactly why they’re there. Many years ago, I used to run a kids club, a hundred kids in each club, and they were called Good Time Clubs, after school, and I’d give the kids Bible stories and we’d sing songs and I’d give them candy afterwards and I said to these kids, a hundred kids, “Line up for candy, kids,” and as I looked at this line of a hundred kids, at the front were the brats, the bullies; at the back, the quiet, sickly, humble ones, and I thought, that’s a line of greed that really annoys me, so I said, “Kids, stay where you are. Turn around 180 degrees and don’t get out of line or you don’t get your candy.” So they turned around eight hundred eighty degrees and I took great delight and taking my big bag of candy to the humble and meek, much to the annoyance of the brats at the back. And that’s exactly what God has done on this world, where the rich get richer and the poor are stomped on, He went to the other end of the line and the way he did it was amazing. He chose foolish things to confound the wise. The Bible says He took the wicked in their own craftiness by taking foolish sounding stories and putting them in His word, so to only those who were humble and would embrace them, because who with any intellectual dignity, who with any pride within us would ever stoop to believe the Bible story?
[Jaclyn] Wait. You’re saying that God put ridiculous things in the Bible so that people would be hesitant to believe as some kind of test.
[Ray]Only the proud, anyone with any intellectual dignity, would never stoop to believe those silly Bible stories, and that’s the wisdom of God. [Jaclyn] I’ve listened to a lot of the stuff that you put out on the Internet. I’ve never heard this. [Ray] The door of salvation is set very low. God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble, because pride is a terrible thing. It destroys families.
[Jaclyn] But there’s a difference between being prideful and arrogant within that pride and rational. I mean, you know, by your logic you would think God gave us a brain. Why would He give us critical thinking skills and then expect us to not use them? [Ray] Well, he expects you to humble yourself and Jesus said, “Unless you become as a little child, you’ll not into God’s kingdom.” He said, “I thank you, Father. You’ve hid these things,” and this is sarcasm, “from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes.” [Jaclyn] I mean, you said it yourself, how is it arrogant to think that talking snakes and walking on water and all of these, you know, ridiculous stories in the Bible, how is it, how is it bad to question that?
[Ray] I’m not asking you to swallow crazy Bible stories. I’m asking you to swallow your pride and believe the gospel, that Christ died for your sins that you’re a sinner and you need God’s mercy. That’s all I’m asking you to believe and God will do the rest.
[Jaclyn] But… [Ray] This is rational, it’s reason, its logic. I see God’s logic. I see the Bible being logical and doing that and so it’s not like I’m closing my eyes and saying, “Oh I believe, despite,” I’m saying, “I believe because God’s supernatural and nothing is too hard for Him and He knows every hair on your head. That’s what the Bible says, every single red hair on your head is known by God. {Jaclyn] Atheism is a lack of belief. It’s nothing to do with knowledge. That’s the beauty of science and we’re not gonna hold to it, which is what people would do in the event of it being a belief. You’d be like, “No, we believe that this is what happened,” but I promise you as soon as or if and when any information contradictory to that is presented to them, they wouldn’t hold to it like a belief. They would change their mind. [Ray] So in a hundred years time, what you believe now, or what you, the convictions you have, sorry to use the word believe, the convictions you have now will be laughed at in 100 years time, as we laugh at a hundred years ago.
[Jaclyn] Well, I mean, is it laughable? [Atheist Steven Pinker] There’s one thing that that we know about the history of ideas, which is that in the past, everyone was wrong about everything, pretty much.
[Ray] And no doubt, every generation laughed at the previous generations, thinking, “This time, we got it right?” [Ray] You think you’re a primate?
[Prof. Meyers] Yes. I am.
[Ray] Are you a talking primate?
[Prof. Meyers] I am.
[Ray] Are you a cousin of bananas.
[Prof. Meyers] Why, yes. [Dawkins] So we are Apes. We are African Apes. [Horner] Birds are living dinosaurs. [Dawkins] Over the last three million years or so, the human brain has swelled up enormously.
[Horner] The chicken is a dinosaur [Pinker] Well, there are a number of claimed routes to knowledge which we now know are fallacious, such as authority, scripture, dogma, the feeling of subjective certainty, the hermeneutic parsing of sacred texts. So we just know that humans are, naturally, just sinks of error.
[Ray] Are you afraid of death? [Jaclyn] Yeah. Yeah, I don’t. Yeah, I mean it’s a scary thing. Like, I’m not really at that point in my life where I’m thinking about it as much, but, you know, I worry more about family and losing loved ones, but you know, it’s not a fun subject. [Ray] It’s horrific. It’s called the Grim Reaper and it’s what we all have to face and I found the answer. I’m saying, I care about you. I love every human being and I plead with them and publicly and every means possible to say get right with God, because you have to face Him on Judgment Day and you need a Savior. It’s as simple as that. [Jaclyn] He’s had a debate on the Atheist Experience that I watched. They spelled it out for him. To see him use those same arguments that have been debunked time and time and time and time again. It’s incredibly frustrating to me. [Atheist] You’re wrong about atheists. What we don’t like is that you assert those things and then you expect us to counter your – your assertion. We don’t agree with your assertion in the first place. [Jaclyn] And I’m just struggling with determining whether or not he really doesn’t get it or if he does and he just chooses to continue perpetuating the same arguments because he knows his audience is gonna buy it. [Ray] I suspect the Jaclyn’s referring to my continual assertion that an atheist believes the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. Atheists say that’s just not true, that no atheist believes that, that I’m misrepresenting their position. They maintain that they don’t have any beliefs. Here’s one of many clips where I say that:
[Ray] So you’re an atheist?
[Jose] Ah, yes. [Ray] So you believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything? It’s crazy talk. Well, you believe nothing created everything.
[Jose] I mean, it’s terrible because also it’s no type of religion, atheism. [Ray] You didn’t answer the question, did you? Do you seriously believe that nothing, which can’t do anything because there’s nothing, created everything: flowers, birds, trees, Sun, Moon, stars, seasons, the marvels of your body, the baby, the kitten, the puppy, pony, all these things happen because of an explosion caused by nothing and it created everything, order…
[Jose] Actually, it’s all tragedy. [Ray] I asked you if you believe that. I want to know if you really do believe that. Come on, Jose, fess up.
[Jose] I don’t believe that. [Jaclyn] And he always does this. He says, “Oh, well, if you’re an atheist, that means you believe everything came from nothing.” But it has nothing to do with our origins. [Narrator] Understanding how nothing turned into something may be the greatest mystery of our universe. [Ray] Here are some of the leading atheists who believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. Professor Richard Dawkins Physicist Paul Davies Professor P.Z. Meyers Physicist Stephen Hawking Physicist Victor J Steiner and, of course, Professor Lawrence Krauss.
[Pro. Krauss] And it means that our whole universe, everything we see, everything that matters to us today, could have arisen out of precisely nothing. It’s possible without any supernatural shenanigans for matter and particles to be created from nothing. [Interviewer] Are you saying that there that there’s energy in that nothing, in that space? [Prof. Krauss] What’s really remarkable is, once you put gravity into the mix, once you put gravity into the mix, once you put gravity into the mix, you can make – you can have positive energy and negative energy [Atheist] Yes, the terminology saying “atheists believe” is where you get it wrong, because atheism is a lack of belief. It’s the lack of a belief because, atheism is simply about the lack of a belief in a deity. That’s it, period. So if we’re talking about atheism, it’s strictly about a lack of a belief. That’s it. Atheism is just about the lack of a belief in a God. To say “atheists believe” is where you hear the brakes screeching, right there. Atheists lack belief in God, right? End of story, right there. [Ray] Here’s why saying that atheism is a lack of belief is so important: If they lack a belief, they think it gets them out of being accused of believing the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything.
[Jaclyn] I don’t have that belief. Yeah, I don’t have. I lack that belief.
[Prof. Krauss] Belief is, I don’t believe in anything.
[Ray] But that doesn’t work. It’s like saying I have no belief in any builders. That means they, by default, believe that nothing built every building. Either something created everything or nothing created everything.
So Bruce, correct me if I’m wrong, an atheist believes the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. Is that what you believe?
[Bruce] Oh, I just heard you. Yes, they’re actually, if you read a book about nothing, there’s a thing called nothingness, which is truly nothing, and there is a thing called nothing, which means that it’s out – let’s take a 1 cubic meter space of space with no atoms in it, at all. That would be called nothing. But there’s also what’s called a nothingness when you don’t even have space. I know that’s a little far-fetched. Have you heard that theory before?
[Ray] Not even from Disney. So this nothing has something in it. Is that what you’re saying? [Bruce] Yes, even nothingness might have something in it.
[Ray] Then it’s not nothing, Bruce. [Bruce] It’s – that’s correct. It’s got nothing, it’s something.
[Prof. Krauss] The simplest version of nothing, it might be empty space, just the nothing of the Bible, an infinite, dark, empty void.
[Carlin] Thanks. I’ll raise the stakes a little bit. If there is a God, may he strike me dead. Well atheism is a belief so I don’t – I’m not an atheist.
[Jaclyn] But you can’t call atheism a belief. [Carlin] Well atheism is a belief so I don’t – I’m not an atheist.
[Prof. Meyers] I have a little aside here. I want to talk about a pet peeve, just briefly and, you know, this is one of those things that annoys me to no end. There’s always somebody who pops up in the comments and he says “Atheism is just the lack of belief in God.”
[Jaclyn] It is not a belief. It is the lack of belief.
[Meyers] and I hate those guys. They’re wrong. And I hate those guys. They’re wrong [Matt Dillahunty] There are people who will argue that atheism means lack of a belief in a god. I don’t particularly like that one. I’ve used it in the past. I’ve stopped using it. [Ray] Here’s the definition of an atheist from the Cambridge dictionary: “Someone who believes that God does not exist,” and from dictionary.com, “The doctrine or belief that there is no God.” Despite the fact that I’ve interviewed professors from UCLA, USC and other professors, including P.Z. Meyers and Lawrence Krauss, atheists continually accuse me of only speaking to dimwits who can’t stand up to my bullying. What they don’t understand is that it’s the conscience that’s being addressed and that brings all of us onto a level playing field. Watch what happens when this atheist, who’s clearly intelligent, changes the dynamic, himself. [Ray]What do you do for a job? I’m a quantum metrology systems specialist quality engineer. I contract to companies like NASA and SpaceX and build rockets and rocket engines. [Ray]Are you an atheist?
I am.
{Ray] If I could prove God’s existence to you, scientifically, would you change your mind? [Eric] You can’t prove it scientifically. [Ray]How do you think we got here?
[Eric]We evolved from ocean creatures.
[Ray] So how’d the ocean creatures get here?
[Eric]They evolved from bacteria and other organisms.
[Ray] How’d the bacteria get here? [Eric] Two atoms collided in space… [Ray] What are the atoms? Where di the atoms come from? They are pretty complex, atoms.
[Eric]They’ve just always existed. I don’t know where it came from. [Ray] That’s scientifically impossible. Second law of thermodynamics: everything runs down. If the universe was eternal, that would have disappeared years ago into dust, trillions of years ago, so it can’t be eternal. It must have had a beginning. You’re an atheist. Do you believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything? Because that’s what an atheist believes. [Eric] Yeah. That’s what I’m saying, is where it started, you know, we consider it nothing, because no one was there. There’s no way to know what happened We know it’s constantly expanding, that it started somewhere.
[Ray] Let me ask you again. Do you believe the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything? Because that’s the only alternative to God creating everything. [Eric] No, not nothing created everything. Something was there in the beginning in the beginning, yes. Well, I’m reading this book, right now. You’re talking about the afterlife or the inferno of Dante. [Ray] Wow What’s that about?
– It’s hell and it’s like levels of hell.
[Ray]Do you ladies think there’s an afterlife? – Yeah
[Ray] Now, where do you get your information from?
– The Bible [Ray] Do you think Adam and Eve were primates? – Playmates
[Ray] Playmates? (chuckling) [Ray]Are you a good person?
– Yes, I believe so.
[Ray] and what about you?
– Yeah [Ray] Where will you go when you die, you going to heaven or are you going to Dante’s Inferno? There’s a statue called the thinker. Have you ever seen it? It’s a guy just leaning on his elbow. His hand is on his chin and he’s thinking. It’s very famous. It’s actually taken from Dante’s Inferno and it’s Adam looking at people going to hell because of his original sin that he passed on to them and that’s what he’s thinking about. So you’re stuck with a huge dilemma? There must be an initial cause and you don’t want to call it God, and I think I know why, because when we mention God, it means moral responsibility. It means pornography’s wrong, adultery’s wrong, sex before marriage is wrong. All the things we love are wrong. And so we don’t want God interfering in our lives. Am I getting close to the truth? [Eric] I mean I could see how you would see that’s the truth, but, I’m not very shy. I’m not – I don’t need – I know my morals are good. I know my morals are good. [Ray] How many lies have you told in your life? I’ve told so many lives.
[Ray] Ever stolen something?
-Yes [Ray]Have you ever used God’s name in vain? – Oh, yes. – Yes.
[Ray] Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust, you commit adultery with her in your heart. Have you ever looked at a woman with lust?
– Of course? Have you had sex out of marriage?
– Yes Eric, I’m not judging you, but you’ve just told me you’re a lying thief, a blasphemer, a fornicator and an adulterer at heart. You have to face God on Judgment Day, whether you believe in Him or not. If He judged you by the 10 commandments on Judgement Day, would you be innocent or guilty? – Guilty [Ray] So if you’re guilty on Judgment Day, will you go to heaven or Dante’s Inferno? You’d end up in hell, according the Bible and that grieves my heart. That horrifies me! I like you. Now, the thought of you ending up in hell greatly disturbs me. 2,000 years ago, God became a human being, Jesus of Nazareth, the perfect, sinless man who gave His life on the cross to take the punishment for the sin of the world. You and I broke God’s law, the Ten Commandments. Jesus came and paid our fine. If you’re in court and someone pays your fine, that judge can let you go. He can be just and yet show you mercy and say, “Look, Eric’s guilty, but someone’s paid his fine. He’s out of here.” Just before Jesus died, He called out, “It is finished.” In other words, the debt has been paid. That means God can legally dismiss your case, forgive your sins, let you walk out of the courtroom, commute your death sentence, let you live forever, because of the death and resurrection of the Savior. What you have to do is repent and trust in Jesus like you’d trust a parachute. You don’t just believe in a parachute, you put your faith into it. Eric the minute you do that, God will forgive every sin you’ve ever committed and grant your everlasting life as a free gift, because he’s rich and merciful. That’s the gospel. You’re a space engineer, a rocket scientist. I’m not asking you to believe or swallow those Bible stories. I’m asking you to swallow your pride and believe the gospel, simply that you’re a sinner, Christ died for your sins as your substitute and if you repent and trust in Him, God will reveal himself to you. You’ve got his promise on that. Does that make sense? [Eric] Yeah I mean, I could take the time to read, reread it.
[Ray] Read the Gospel of John. Just stay with that. The Gospel of John describes Jesus and there’s no one like Him. I mean, He said things that were just crazy, or He was God in the flesh. He said, “Marvel not. Listen, the hour is coming when all that are in the graves shall hear my voice.” That’s the words of a madman or the other words of God and faith.
[Eric]There’s someone following him, writing this stuff down…? [Ray]Yeah, the Holy Spirit inspired man to write down what He said. So at the moment, you’re up the river Niagara without a paddle. You’re going to die. You’re going to go over the falls, one day, don’t know when, and there’s only one rope being thrown to you, and that’s the gospel of Jesus Christ. So please consider it, because there’s nothing more important. At the moment you ladies are trusting in your goodness to save you on Judgment Day. Well, transfer your trust from yourself to the Savior. It’s like if you jump out of a plane 10,000 feet; don’t try and save yourself by flapping your arms. It’s not going to work. Trust the parachute. So has it made sense what I mean, what I’ve been saying to you, today? You’re gonna think about this?
– Yes.
What about you?
– Yeah, I will. – Yeah, I’m going to think about it and probably go to church this Sunday. Well, I’m saying if you put your faith in God, He’ll never let you down. He’s the creator of the universe. No rocket you’ve ever made made itself. That’s ludicrous. The the rocket is proof of a manufacturer and creation is proof of the creator. It’s just common sense. A child can understand that, so would you at least think about what we talked about?
[Eric] Yeah. For sure. What are you an agnostic?
[Carlin] No, well, you know, I mean someoone would define me that way, but I don’t think it’s important or that I know the distinction. I’m just a person who thinks someday, you could find out and I would know that or that whoever was there, judging me, I’m sure there’s no one like that. But if there was someone judging me then I’d be fine. I don’t want the eternal life, to be honest.
[Ray]Are you pretty miserable?
[Atheist] No, I love this life, but eternity sounds miserable. I do appreciate that you want me to think about it and I have thought about it and you know, if something changes my mind I’m always open to reason changing my mind, but faith, not so much. No.
[Jaclyn]Yeah. Well, thank you for talking to me I think this went went pretty well and I’ll make sure to add a special thanks for you at the end of this.
[Ray] It was great to talk to you. [Jaclyn] It was nice meeting you, Ray. Have a nice day. Bye. Well, I think that went pretty well. I mean, he was very nice. I do appreciate him sitting down and talking with me. [Bruce] I don’t see God anywhere. I see all the creationists arguments about, that’s the building, had to be a designer, therefore the universe had to be designed, another non sequitur. This is logical fallacy after logical fallacy, Ray. I’m sorry your arguments are very weak.
[Ray] Now, Bruce, you were almost killed recently in a car accident. [Bruce] That’s right.
[Ray] I thank God that you weren’t killed.
[Bruce] And I thank God for the paramedics that came to get me. [Ray] So do I!
[Bruce] Actually, I don’t thank God at all. I just thank the paramedics. There’s a code going on that I need the Rosetta Stone. I need someone to sit me down and go, “Penn…” [Ray] So, Penn, you now have your Rosetta Stone. Now, you know why it is that intelligent people believe such foolish stories. But now you need to do the ultimate foolish thing in the eyes of this proud world. You need to repent and become as a little child and trust in Jesus. How humbling is that? But that’s the only way to find everlasting life. When you get right with God, it will no doubt be an answer to your Christian mother’s prayers, and mine. I’m not, just because some atheists are telling me that rid God out of everything in the universe – that – I’m not I’m not doing that
