I'm an atheist, and I see implications like that as absurd and harmful, so I'm here to counter them. Religious people can be reasonable, just reading the Bible doesn't justify atheism, and you can be reasoned out of beliefs you weren't reasoned into. Like I said in my last video like this (4 Things Atheists Should Never Say), I see a lot of these sayings and ideas as vestiges of "New atheism" from the hayday of The God Delusion, God Is Not Great, and the Four Horsemen: Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett. Regardless of their source, atheists shouldn't say these things. Like I've said previously in videos like Why Theists Can't Convert Atheists, we should strive for positive, constructive discourse with theists.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic 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.

Here I give my take on those questions, ranking 6 powerful cults from F tier to S tier. You'll likely be familiar with a few on the list, like Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormonism, but others may surprise you. As in my Arguments for God's Existence Tier List video, we'll go over each group's stats and special abilities while discussing any strengths and weaknesses.

She may call herself a natural mom, a crunchy mom, a holistic mom, etc. Why do moms, specifically, love this kind of pseudoscience? Whether it’s anti-vax, supplement multi level marketing schemes like Herbalife, Young Living, doTERRA, anti-gmo, naturopathy, reiki, homeopathy, or essential oils, mothers seem to eat it up. Here’s my take on why that is. Special thanks to my guest, ex-naturopath and science communicator Britt Marie Hermes!

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic What is the best argument for god's existence? Although I haven't yet found any which are without error, some arguments are better, or more convincing, than others. Apologetics can appear dry on the surface, but they're fascinating upon closer inspection. These arguments often sneak in false premises and tricky debate tactics which many don't catch. Here, though, I've analyzed some of the most popular arguments for god, charted their stats, examined their special abilities, and ranked them accordingly. The arguments discussed here are, in no particular order: The Ontological Argument, The Argument from Personal Experience, The Kalam Cosmological Argument, the Teleological Argument, Paschal's Wager, and the Moral Argument. Want to know how to prove that god exists, or how to convince an atheist of god's existence? This tier list may shed light on the difficulties in doing that, and the tools at your disposal. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/mzTy2Sm Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA https://rumblevideoarchive.wordpress.com/

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Right-wing political commentators, and even some skeptics, constantly claim that Muslims are using taqiyyah - that they're lying. What they don't realize is that taqiyyah is not a common or well known concept in Islam. Some Shias practice it for self-preservation, but that's about it. I've heard some non-Muslims constantly call taqiyyah a command of sacred deception. They're either misinformed, or flirting with bigotry in those statements. What is taqiyyah? I explain that here, as to correct any under-informed people, or any anti-Muslim bigots in my audience. Islam deserves criticism, but essentially calling all Muslims liars is not an acceptable approach.

The Jehovah's Witness world headquarters at Warwick, New York, is very particular about the way it's portrayed in media, wishing to control as much circulating information about it as possible. Owen of the channel Telltale is an ex-Jehovah's Witness who was disfellowshipped (shunned) at 18 and cut off from his family. He's now a proud apostate and activist against the Watchtower Society.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Multi-Level Marketing companies are scams. They're just pyramid schemes with a product. Beyond their financial exploitation, they also use their distributors as a means of skirting around FDA regulations. Basically, they encourage their distributors to subtly break the law and make false claims about their products, and when they're caught, all the blame goes on the distributors, not the company. Companies like Young Living Essential Oils, doTERRA, It Works!, Kyani, and Herbalife do this with their supplements constantly. The results of this can be seen on social media in the form of people who obsess over supplements instead of using real medicine. These kinds of posts are compiled in subreddits like r/antimlm and r/insanepeoplefacebook, and discussed in podcasts like Sounds Like MLM But Ok. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/mzTy2Sm -Links- Sources: (1) https://www.fda.gov/downloads/AboutFD...

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Frank Turek was asked how Christians should respond to gay family members, and I took issue with his answer. Apparently, he thinks LGBT people can become straight, and if they can't, they should be celibate. He thinks Christians should "help" family members to do this. Now, not only does the relevant scientific literature show that gay people can't change sexual orientations, but that LGBT people are best off when their families and friends support them. I think this shows how little many Christian apologists actually care about science when it becomes problematic for them. It turns out that his advice on LGBT issues is even worse than his "gotcha" questions for atheists. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/mzTy2Sm London event: Tickets: https://fixr.co/event/542838415 Video about event: https://twitter.com/MimzyV/status/1151291589806964737 -Links- Turek's video: https://youtu.be/P0jYYwow71E Family acceptance is positively associated with well-being and negatively associated with mental distress.

Dr. Hector Garcia, a clinical and evolutionary psychologist, author of Alpha God, joins me here to debunk Prager's claims, and show how evolutionary psychology explains the biblical god's gender.

Part two will show us interacting with locals and exploring their places of worship. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- DREW: Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/zkdMd5E ARMIN: https://twitter.com/ArminNavabi http://www.atheistrepublic.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCewh_9FYHVGAWkjJPPRlMsA JEREMY: https://www.auroracreativemedia.com/ https://twitter.com/Aurora_CMG https://www.instagram.com/aurora.creative.media/ AMIR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LJ5uEuhCoo&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR28SocrxsOvLGCSNd_Am94DHV0cduPxSfp_Fu-dv12ymXgNARQ-xFr0YcA AMIR S: https://www.facebook.com/IsraeliAtheistsAssociation/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA https://rumblevideoarchive.wordpress.com/

It doesn't actually take a charismatic cult leader, but a self-propagating dogma which plays on basic human needs and vulnerabilities. Jonestown, Heaven's Gate, and the Branch Davidians weren't actually typical when it comes to cult structure, and larger groups like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Scientology show signs of more deliberate, sustainable mind-controlling structure. Informed by my previous videos, 4 Ways Quacks Manipulate Their Audiences, and How Quacks and Cults Recruit Followers, here's a quick guide on how to start a cult. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/zkdMd5E This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA https://rumblevideoarchive.wordpress.com/

Would they be friends with an atheist? Would they love and accept an atheist family member? Would they accept an apostate? Do morals only come from god? Although most, if not all our interviewees were Muslim, the responses definitely varied a bit. I hope you learned something! I know I did. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/zkdMd5E This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA https://rumblevideoarchive.wordpress.com/

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Should Islam be reformed, or should Islam be defeated? Reformers like Maajid Nawaz and Imam Mohammad Tawhidi argue that Islam can reform like Christianity and Judaism have, while doubters and atheist activists like Armin Navabi say that Islam needs to be left behind. Is apostasy from Islam the only answer? Can the Quran and Hadith be reinterpreted to accommodate secularism and liberal values? Organizations like Quilliam International fight for that reality, but will they succeed? Liberal Muslims, ex-Muslims, and atheist activists may all share an affinity for secularism, but don't always agree on how to persuade conservative Muslims to think the same. This is a brief comparison of Islamic reform versus doubt and defeat. No idea is above scrutiny and no people are beneath dignity. - Maajid Nawaz -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/zkdMd5E Come meet me at Faithless Forum! https://www.facebook.com/events/1007446629444995/ http://faithlessforum.com/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA https://rumblevideoarchive.wordpress.com/

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Criticize Islam at all, and you'll be called a bigot. Anti-Muslim bigotry is definitely a problem which should be addressed, but Islam still deserves criticism. Regressives fail to see the complexity of this issue - that criticizing an idea does not make one bigoted against the people who hold it. No doubt, I'll be called islamophobic for making this video, and regressive leftists will continue to continue to rail against me. For the sake of tolerance, we can't stop having this conversation. Peaceful Muslims deserve our solidarity against radicals, and radicals deserve our criticism. As Muslim reformer Maajid Nawaz says, no idea is above scrutiny and no people are beneath dignity. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/zkdMd5E Come meet me at Faithless Forum! https://www.facebook.com/events/1007446629444995/ http://faithlessforum.com/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* https://rumblevideoarchive.wordpress.com/

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic This is the first proper Q&A I've done in almost 1 1/2 years, so it's long overdue. You guys asked about how to make friends as an atheist, what to do when you're in the closet, how to come out atheist, how to talk to religious family and friends, if religion is protected under free speech, how I got the name Genetically Modified Skeptic, my ideas about atheist morality, and more. There are also mentions of religious reform, politics, Street Epistemology, raising kids without religion, essential oils, supplements, and the future of pseudoscience. Thanks for the questions! I didn't expect so many requests for advice, so I hope this helps my fellow atheists and agnostics who feel isolated or in need of community. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/zkdMd5E Come meet me at Faithless Forum! https://www.facebook.com/events/1007446629444995/ http://faithlessforum.com/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA https://rumblevideoarchive.wordpress.com/

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic I think it's finally time I tell the full story of how and why I became an atheist. I deconverted from Christian fundamentalism over 3 years ago now, and I'm glad I did. Issues like old earth vs young earth, evolution vs creationism, the Bible vs LGBT rights, got me thinking about the validity of faith, Christian apologetics, and personal religious experiences, and I eventually changed my perspective on all of those things. The strangest part of my story may be that Young Living Essential Oils played a roll in my becoming an atheist. Because I was without them for so long, I recognize the importance of critical thinking skills, healthy skepticism, and scientific literacy. I hope that this video will help those who feel isolated as an atheist or agnostic, or who are still in the atheist closet and are thinking of coming out. Share your story if you can, but always stay safe.

Nazma Khan founded World Hijab Day in 2013, and No Hijab Day began in response not long after. FreeInHijab also has a counter campaign in #FreeFromHijab. Muslims and non-Muslims exist on both sides of this issue. My ex-Muslim guests, Mimzy Vidz, Zara Kay, and Yasmine Mohammed, all oppose embracing the hijab with World Hijab Day as I do. Hijab is a tool of oppression, used to suppress women's rights for centuries. In the west, many of those on the left, including Muslim feminists and progressives, would have you believe otherwise. Protesters in Iran and testimonies from Saudi Arabian refugees constantly proclaim that hijab is not a choice, it oppresses women, and imposing it with Islamic law needs to stop.
