@atheist.archive: Alex O'Connor 💥 #debate #atheist #シ

tinxing :

Didn’t cliff lose his mind when a uni student asked him this same question 💀

WeeSonnyJim :

It's almost like the whole thing is completely made up.

DanG :

Could have showed the reply

snganthony :

if God fully proved himself to everyone that would completely override the concept of free will. If God goes to every person and shows himself that he’s the only way to be saved there wouldn’t be any free will in believing in Christ. The culture and history of people is why we see those percentages, some people don’t freely chose religion and it’s instilled into them, wether it be christianity in connecticut or Buddhism in Thailand. Every person in thailand is capable of following Christ.

ziahmick :

why is cliff so red😭

haggishunt56 :

OnDistantShores :

ramscham :

Genuinely, I wish I could be half as articulate as Alex O'Connor. I feel like my thoughts roll out somewhere near that coherence and level of description— but the moment I try to put thoughts into words, it comes out like this.

SiHaslam :

Duffs :

That would be because all religions are a load of old mumbo jumbo. Let’s not over think this.

Jeannette 💫 :

what was his answer

Timmy :

So true even the bible shows this with Jesus being Jewish because he was raised by Jews

SAMI SMITH :

Check mate

⚜️ Voice Of The Skeptic ⚜️ :

where's the "why are you being disrespectful" which he told someone for asking the same question

Pharrell :

on top of that it was god himself who confused the languages which seperated us😭🙏

ascos1 :

He will answer the same way he answers every hard question. God works in mysterious ways.

@241g2 :

..vatican moved with sara ..and made a usa

Justus M :

alex o conner the logical goat

conman :

i like how you showed his response

frank :

what is this guy even saying? he is stating the obvious which is there are different people and beliefs

🇭🇺☀︎☽ 𐳐𐳍𐳓𐳡𐳘𐳍 ♰🇻🇦 :

Because religion is strongly bound to culture that's the reason why it's our job to spread the word of God

edrgross2 :

a good argument to this is that it's not about geography, its about the people perpetuating the teachings. granted we run into alot of other problems because of this

Justin :

It’s almost like that isn’t the case and the catechism explicitly addresses this

MiyazakiLover :

This argument conflates salvation and awareness and operates on the assumption that people who never had a genuine opportunity to encounter Christianity are judged exactly like people who knowingly understood and rejected it. Scripture backs this by saying God doesn't show favor based on nationality in judgment and explicitly distinguish those who are ignorant of God's will vs those who overtly reject him. This isn't even an improvised defense. The Catholic Catechism, paragraph 847, explicitly teaches that someone who is ignorant of the Gospel through no fault of their own may attain salvation through God's grace. It's backed by scripting people are judged by the metrics of their circumstances. (Acts 10:34-35, Luke 12:47-48 and Romans:2:14-16 are my Biblical references.)
