As a community with an interest in providing the best resources to its members, the following wiki links are provided as historical reference until we can establish our own.
"Video unavailable." I'm not signed in to YouTube on my phone.
I am an atheist because I see no reason to believe the baseless claim that any god exists.
Did you watch any of my videos with an open mind? Here is one explicitly about why I don't believe in god: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgC2juc3Rx4

You're so close. Connect the dots. Who ruined his mental state and why? It was our christian parents doing what the bible explicitly commands. Hitting their children before we were old enough to understand anything. Lying to us every day about god, heaven, hell, and christ.
It's a death cult. Stop defending child abuse.
the Bible does not command the senseless beating of children
Just sensible utter destruction of children:
"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
How much child-beating do you believe is sensible?
Are you saying they should never be stoned to death in the public square? The bible says otherwise.
Are you saying children shouldn't be hit with a rod? The bible says otherwise.
And before you say something like "it's actually a shepherd's rod used to guide-" Nope, it's explicitly for striking children:
I called my mom a bitch because she made excuses for abusing us instead of admitting it was wrong. Should I be put to death?
People like you are the reason my parents are getting away with child abuse.
I watched your videos but it's full of absurd takes like "Jod". God can't be created as he would rely on his creator and thus not be God.
"God would be subject to the same limitations as everyone else" ??? He isn't, he's God. Our omnipotent creator is of a different nature than us.
It works for me, I'm not signed in too
You believe god is all-powerful? So you must also believe he does not love us. Why else would he create suffering?
Before you try to use "free will" as an excuse, there is no free will with an omnipotent god. He could create anything any way, he knew what would happen, and he chose to give children cancer. That is psychotic.
Probably my VPN. Thank you for at least taking a look at what I have to say. I am angry because others have it even worse than I do, and it's completely unnecessary. Stupid, selfish people believe in magic and treat their own children like property as a direct result.
That's the special pleading fallacy. You can't define god into existence. If you can, I can define jod into existence. Play fair, people are dying for this shit.
