Christianity's Fatal Error

Summary

Le script du vidéo explore les problèmes intrinsèques de la foi chrétienne, en se concentrant sur le 'problème de l'instruction'. Il suggère que si un Dieu tout-puissant et tout-savoir existait, sa communication avec l'humanité serait parfaite et universelle, contrairement à ce que nous observons dans la diversité et les incohérences des religions, notamment le christianisme. Le texte souligne les inexactitudes scientifiques, les contradictions internes et les changements historiques de la Bible, ainsi que les implications morales controversées, pour conclure que ces éléments sont des preuves fortes contre l'existence du Dieu biblique.

Takeaways

• 🧐 L'athéisme peut être motivé par un manque de preuve suffisante pour l'existence d'un dieu ou de dieux.
• 📚 L'auteur met en doute la validité du christianisme en raison de problèmes majeurs, en particulier le 'problème de l'instruction'.
• 🛐 L'être suprême dans le christianisme est souvent considéré comme 'omnipotent', 'omniscient', 'omnibenevolent' et 'omniprésent'.
• 🤔 Une entité omnisciente et omnipotente devrait être capable de communiquer un message universel parfaitement clair et accessible à tous.
• 🌏 Si un dieu omniscieux existait, on s'attendrait à ce que ses messages soient universellement clairs et sans contradictions.
• 📜 En revanche, si aucun dieu omniscieux n'existait, on s'attendrait à une diversité de religions avec des textes sacrés humains et limités.
• 📖 Le christianisme semble correspondre à cette dernière hypothèse, avec un livre saint qui a été compilé et modifié au fil du temps.
• ✍️ Les textes sacrés, y compris la Bible, sont souvent écrits par des auteurs anonymes et contiennent des erreurs et des contradictions.
• 🌐 Les différentes religions et leurs textes sacrés reflètent souvent les connaissances et les valeurs de leur époque, plutôt que des vérités universelles.
• 🔍 L'auteur souligne que la diversité et les changements dans les textes sacrés suggèrent une communication imparfaite ou l'absence d'un dieu omniscieux.
• 🕊️ L'expansion du christianisme a été facilitée par la peur, la force et l'indoctrination, plutôt que par des preuves tangibles.

😔 Problème de l'instruction et athéisme

Le premier paragraphe aborde la difficulté pour l'auteur de donner une seule raison de son athéisme, mais souligne que la preuve insuffisante de l'existence d'un Dieu est un point central. Il se concentre ensuite sur les problèmes intrinsèques au christianisme, en particulier le 'problème de l'instruction', qui est considéré comme le plus grave. L'auteur décrit un 'omni Dieu' chrétien comme étant tout-puissant, tout-savoir, tout-aimant et omniprésent, et soutient que si un tel Dieu existait, nous attendrions une communication parfaite de sa part. Il propose des hypothèses sur la manière dont un tel Dieu pourrait communiquer efficacement avec l'humanité, en utilisant des plaques divines, des messages dans le ciel ou même en préchargeant des messages dans notre 'logiciel mental'. Il compare ensuite cela à ce que nous observons réellement, où diverses religions se sont développées de manière indépendante, souvent avec des prémisses erronées et limitées par les connaissances de l'époque.

📜 L'histoire et les incohérences de la Bible

Le deuxième paragraphe explore l'histoire de la Bible et comment elle a été compilée par des bergers et des personnes ordinaires dans un contexte rural et illettré, avec des récits qui ont été transmis de génération en génération, semblables à un jeu de téléphone. Il souligne que la plupart des documents originaux n'ont pas été préservés de manière divine et que les plus anciens manuscrits datent de beaucoup après les événements décrits. L'auteur mentionne des erreurs de copie, des ajouts et des omissions dans les manuscrits, ainsi que des contradictions et des inexactitudes scientifiques et historiques. Il critique également les justifications religieuses de pratiques immorales et les tentatives d'apologistes de résoudre ces problèmes en disant que les messages sont souvent mal interprétés.

10:03

🌏 Diffusion du christianisme et ses conséquences

Dans le troisième paragraphe, l'auteur examine la manière dont le christianisme a été diffusé, souvent par la peur et la force, y compris par la conquête et l'esclavage. Il décrit comment la peur de la damnation éternelle a été utilisée pour instiller des croyances et comment la foi a été enseignée aux générations futures comme une vertu. Il critique les tentatives d'apologistes de rationaliser les problèmes de communication divins et les divisions au sein du christianisme, résultant en des interprétations et des dénominations multiples. L'auteur conclut en disant que la Bible est si complexe et difficile à comprendre que de nombreux croyants n'ont même pas lu l'ensemble du texte, ce qui les empêche de voir les problèmes mentionnés.

Keywords

💡athéisme

L'athéisme est la position qui nie l'existence d'un dieu ou de dieux. Dans le script, l'athéisme est abordé en tant que position philosophique qui trouve son fondement principal dans l'absence de preuve suffisante pour l'existence d'un dieu. L'athéiste du script utilise cela comme base pour remettre en question la foi chrétienne.

💡Christianisme

Le christianisme est une religion monothéiste basée sur la vie, la mort et la résurrection de Jésus-Christ. Le script met en lumière les problèmes critiques que l'auteur a avec l'interprétation chrétienne de la Bible et la croyance en un Dieu omnisciant, omnipotent et omnibenevolent.

💡omnipuissance

L'omnipuissance fait référence à la capacité d'un être de tout connaître et de tout faire. Dans le script, l'omnipuissance est attribuée au Dieu chrétien, qui est considéré comme étant à la fois tout-puissant, tout-savant et tout-aimant, ce qui conduit à la problématique de l'instruction divine.

💡problème de l'instruction

Le problème de l'instruction est une condamnation philosophique contre la croyance en un Dieu omnisciant et omnipotent, qui ne peut pas expliquer la diversité et les contradictions dans les religions et les textes sacrés. Le script utilise ce problème pour critiquer la cohérence de la foi chrétienne.

💡Bible

La Bible est le texte sacré du christianisme, considéré comme la parole de Dieu. Le script souligne les problèmes de la Bible, notamment ses erreurs scientifiques, ses contradictions internes et son évolution au fil du temps, ce qui remet en question sa divinité et sa clarté.

💡incohérence

L'incohérence fait référence à l'absence de cohérence ou de logique interne. Le script pointe du doigt les incohérences dans la Bible, y compris les changements de texte et les différences entre les versions, qui suggèrent une évolution humaine plutôt que divine.

💡infaillibilité

L'infaillibilité est la croyance que quelque chose est exempt d'erreur. Le script remet en question l'infaillibilité de la Bible, en montrant comment elle a été modifiée et interprétée de différentes manières au fil du temps.

💡contradiction

Une contradiction est une situation où deux idées ou affirmations sont en opposition. Le script souligne les contradictions internes de la Bible, qui vont à l'encontre de la notion d'une communication divine claire et précise.

💡inerrance

L'inerrance est la croyance que la Bible est sans erreur et parfaite dans toutes ses affirmations. Le script critique cette croyance en montrant les erreurs et les modifications qui ont été apportées au texte biblique.

💡traduction

La traduction est le processus de conversion d'un texte d'une langue à une autre. Le script mentionne les problèmes de traduction de la Bible, qui ont entraîné des variations et des interprétations différentes, remettant ainsi en question la clarté de la message divine.

💡dogme

Un dogme est une croyance ou une doctrine fondamentale d'une religion. Le script critique les dogmes chrétiens, qui ont été décidés par vote et sont basés sur des interprétations de textes anciens, plutôt que sur des preuves divines directes.

💡indoctrination

L'indoctrination est le processus par lequel des croyances ou des comportements sont inculqués de manière autoritaire. Le script aborde l'indoctrination dans le christianisme, où des générations entières ont été élevées avec des croyances basées sur la foi plutôt que sur la preuve.

Highlights

Atheist's primary reason for disbelief is the lack of sufficient evidence for the existence of a god or gods.

Christianity's fatal error is the problem of instruction, which challenges the concept of an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent God.

An omnipotent God should be able to communicate perfectly clear messages to humanity.

The Bible, as a divine message, should be free of inconsistencies, historical contradictions, and scientific inaccuracies.

The diversity of religions and their evolution over time suggests a lack of a unified, divine origin.

The Bible's history shows it was compiled over time by humans, not divinely inspired or preserved.

Manuscript discrepancies and changes over time indicate the Bible is not a perfect or inerrant message.

The presence of immoral sanctions in the Bible contradicts the idea of an all-loving and all-knowing God.

The lack of clarity and precision in the Bible's message suggests a failure in divine communication.

The Bible's moral teachings have not been updated to reflect modern understanding, indicating a lack of divine intervention.

The Bible's translations and interpretations have led to numerous denominations and conflicts within Christianity.

The reliance on faith rather than evidence to support belief in God is questioned.

Fear and indoctrination have been used to spread and maintain religious beliefs.

Many believers have not read the Bible in its entirety, which may hide inconsistencies and issues.

The video encourages viewers to question and not blindly accept religious teachings.

if you were to ask me to give you just

one reason why i'm an atheist i could

probably condense it down to a lack of

sufficient evidence for the existence of

a god or gods but if you were to ask me

why i'm not a christian it would be a

lot harder for me to give you just one

answer because the bible and most

christian interpretations compact with a

plethora of fatal problems any one of

them is enough to bring the entire house

of cards crashing down but one of them

stands above the rest as the most

damning catastrophe for the christian

faith and you don't need a phd in

history or extensive knowledge about

science religion or philosophy to see

why and no it's not the problem of evil

or suffering this is the problem of

instruction christianity's fatal error

[Music]

the god of the christian faith is often

referred to as an omni god because he's

believed by most christians to be

omnipotent or all-powerful omniscient or

all-knowing omnibenevolent or all-loving

and omnipresent he's basically

everywhere at once some apologists

prefer the term maximally great god can

be defined as a maximally great being

and in order to be maximally great a

maximally great being would have to be

all-powerful all-knowing and morally

perfect in every possible world if you

assume that this kind of god exists then

you're left with a major problem

the problem of instruction to understand

this conundrum we first need to start

with a hypothetical a thought experiment

forget everything that you know about

the bible for just a moment and pretend

that you're in a hypothetical

alternative universe with a different

omnigod if this deity is all-loving

all-knowing omnipresent and all-powerful

and is trying to communicate the most

important message in the universe to his

or her children how would they

communicate this vital message and

conversely if this god either didn't

exist at all or turned out to be limited

in knowledge love power or locality what

would you expect to see instead in the

first scenario with the omni god you

would expect perfect communication any

decent newspaper editor knows that the

average person reads at or below the 8th

grade level and they tailor their paper

accordingly so as to be widely

accessible and easily understood they

avoid technical jargon and ambiguous

words as much as they possibly can and

they provide clarification and define

and explain what they mean when they

need to we should expect that an

all-knowing god of the universe who

created the brains of their target

audience would know this would know our

cognitive and linguistic shortcomings

and would craft this critical message

with similar precision now there's a

number of reliable ways that this

message could be perfectly transmitted

at first i thought maybe god could place

enormous divinely protected plaques all

over the world with very literal

extremely clear instructions on them

these plaques would be indestructible

and tamper proof since what good is a

divinely inspired message without divine

preservation as society and language

change the messages could update to

ensure maximal clarity keep up with

current events and meet the needs and

answer the questions of god's children

sort of like god's message board or he

could write a message for all of us to

see in the sky

or even on the moon but then i thought

not everyone's literate or speaks the

same language some people are blind etc

but remember no challenge is too big for

an all-powerful god and an all-loving

god would care enough to overcome this

challenge if god is everywhere at once

he could just tell us his message in

person and coach us directly but some

people might argue that his presence

would overwhelm us and while i think

that's kind of a cop-out i do

acknowledge the objection so what if

instead each person received god's

message in their own language hand

tailored for them such that it's

perfectly communicated in a way that

everyone would understand and reach the

same conclusion a message pre-loaded

into everyone's brains mental firmware

that we're all born with it would come

straight from god not through human

authors it would be directed to all

mankind from the get-go not just to a

tiny handful of self-proclaimed chosen

people and there would be no internal

inconsistencies in the message no

historical contradictions or scientific

inaccuracies and unlike with a

conscience what we deem as right and

wrong wouldn't change from culture to

culture and you wouldn't have

psychopaths who lock one altogether this

would be a ubiquitous accessible clear

and perfect message because the

communication of a perfect god should be

perfect but what if the alternative was

true what if there's no god at all or

the god slash gods who do exist aren't

omni-gods like the god of the bible well

we'd expect to see a very very different

result we would expect to find wildly

different religions popping up all over

the world written by scientifically

ignorant ancient authors desperately

trying to make sense of their tiny

myopic view of the universe around them

you wouldn't expect to find any

supernatural insights about germs

neurochemistry and mental health

heliocentrism dna any knowledge of other

galaxies or any information not already

available to their primitive cultures at

best you might occasionally just get a

few lucky guesses here and there many if

not most of these holy books would place

humanity at the center and contain

stories about human experiences of

violent warlords superstitions wild

legends human heroes and of unseen

monsters lurking in the dark morality

would vary from culture to culture with

some even sacrificing animals or even

fellow humans to the gods but strangely

no gods would step in to correct these

gross misconceptions about their

bloodlusts or mentor humanity on right

and wrong

is he asleep

no no i'm pretty sure he's dead instead

cultures would have to progress morally

on their own because these holy books

would be chained to the morality of

their time justifying barbaric practices

like slavery witch burning because yes

they would still believe in witches

homophobia sexism genocide etc of the

many religions springing up everywhere

some would fizzle out while others might

be more relatable and would spread more

rapidly they may contain more contagious

ideas with stronger sticking power if

you haven't realized already

christianity is described perfectly by

the latter scenario in direct conflict

with its insistence on the existence of

an omni-god a claim on which the truth

of the bible is entirely contingent but

it gets even worse for christianity for

those who don't know the history of the

bible it was concocted millennia before

the printing press video cameras or the

internet in a small rural mostly

illiterate backwater by otherwise

insignificant goat herders searching for

spiritual significance its contents were

compiled and molded over time like a

patchwork of stories with centuries

between the events described and when

they were actually written down a

multi-generational game of telephone and

centuries more passed before they were

finally copied onto our oldest surviving

manuscripts none of our original

documents have been divinely preserved

for example the story of the exodus if

it did occur would have happened

sometime between the 15th and 13th

century bce but most scholars don't

think it was actually compiled into its

current written form until centuries

later sometime between the late 6th and

4th centuries bce and our oldest

surviving albeit fragmentary manuscript

of the exodus dates to no earlier than

250 bce about a thousand years after the

events described and it's even worse for

the older stories in the bible contained

in say the book of genesis like sodom

and gomorrah or the flood and creation

myths and even the various later

manuscripts that have survived are

riddled with copying errors mistakes and

changes between them passages have been

added and removed for example matthew 18

jumps straight from verse 10 to verse

12. that's weird and just one chapter

earlier matthew 17 skips from verse 20

to verse 22. these missing verses

weren't in our earliest manuscripts but

were added later and were considered

part of the bible for centuries before

we discovered these older manuscripts

and edited these verses back out the

same is true for the ending of the

lord's prayer although some translations

like the king james version still leave

this later edition in while others don't

by contrast matthew 12 47 also isn't in

our earliest new testament manuscripts

and was added later but unlike with

these other examples this one was never

removed the same is true for the story

of the woman caught in adultery these

are just a few of the many known

examples of how the bible has changed

over time and we'll never know the exact

number of edits that have occurred since

we don't and probably never will have

any of the original texts the bible is

riddled with scientific inaccuracies

internal contradictions and mistakes

where it deviates from the historical

record i've done in-depth videos on all

of these things and that's not to

mention the addition of all of the

horrifically immoral sanctions contained

in its pages sure it's easy for

apologists to say that these are all

misinterpretations of god's intended

message but doesn't that speak to god's

failure as a communicator does god not

understand the minds of his creation or

the importance of clarity or is he not

capable of clear communication unless he

doesn't exist isn't present or doesn't

care no matter how you look at it this

is strong evidence against the god of

the bible but imagine for a moment that

the bible is true but all of the verses

on say slavery in the bible aren't meant

to be taken literally after all a

benevolent god would never condone

something so utterly atrocious but it's

written literally it's taken literally

and for thousands of years god sits back

and watches arms folded as millions of

people are enslaved with his words used

as the primary justification for it and

he offers not so much as an amendment or

a clarifier during this time it would

take centuries of old testament laws

before this perfect inerrant message

would finally get an update a new

testament but even with the new

testament after a thousand years of beta

testing his laws when god could have

patched the system with some type of a

clarifier about not owning another human

being we would instead get slaves obey

your masters leading to centuries more

of religiously sanctioned atrocities and

even if none of that was the case and

this message was completely perfect and

had been communicated perfectly much of

the world still doesn't have access to

it human translators have painstakingly

tried to translate the bible into every

language on earth and after thousands of

years their job's still not done and all

the while linguistic metaphors and

figures of speech have inevitably been

lost in the process unintentionally

changing the meaning of the text which

is why in english alone there are dozens

of different versions of god's inerrant

message a message so nebulous that

countless interpretations have emerged

from those versions splintering

christianity into tens of thousands of

denominations with entire wars being

fought over who's reading it correctly

with all the clarity and precision of a

jackson pollock painting core doctrines

had to be voted on by people

interpreting a loose collection of

translations of copies of copies of

copies which happened hundreds of years

after the stories allegedly took place

and even after all the books in the

bible were finally finished for

centuries there would be no consensus on

which of these books were even canonical

and should be included in the bible and

which shouldn't and even today there's

still some disagreement over this

theologians pastors and apologists have

dedicated decades of their lives to

desperately attempting to somehow

salvage this wreck crafting books

sermons and lectures filled with mental

gymnastics and riddled with logical

fallacies although one thing that most

of them agree on is that we don't

actually know who wrote most of the

books of the bible they're anonymous now

you might be wondering with a

communication problem this massive how

has this disaster spread so far and wide

well one way is through emotional trauma

and fear instilling in people the fear

of eternal damnation teaching them that

they have a problem before attempting to

sell them the cure it's also been spread

at the tip of the sword forced upon the

conquered on natives and slaves

generation after generation has

indoctrinated their children teaching

them to believe baseless assertions on

faith teaching them that faith is a

virtue entire countries have adopted

christianity as part of their culture

making it a part of a collective

identity fearing that the alternative

was divine wrath here on earth in

addition to the eternal torturous

hellfire of the hereafter fear is an

extremely powerful tool and as for the

skeptics who dared to doubt well for

centuries non-believers have been

denigrated from pulpits everywhere

shunned demonized ostracized and

sometimes even killed all for simply

being honest enough to point out a few

of these glaring problems to the atheist

watching this telecast

if

our belief in god offends you

move

there are planes leaving every hour on

the on the hour going every place on

planet earth get on one we don't want

you and we won't miss you i promise you

and the cherry on top of all of this is

that the bible is so long so convoluted

archaic and cryptic that most believers

have never even read it through cover to

cover because if they did they would see

for themselves exactly what i'm talking

about if this idea is new or interesting
