rey comfort a man as in love with bananas as matt powell
grow up constantly uploads videos where it seems he converts people from atheism
with a bit of street preaching i never really believe these videos are real so
stick around to the end of the video as friend of the channel emma thorne
hello and i will be looking at what this preacher said to convert these atheists
hello i'm the skeptic i watch videos on youtube that make extraordinary claims whether that's
evolution is fake or atheism is wrong but mostly the claim that a god is real and then explain
why i don't accept their position before we start today's video do the things with the buttons that
would be great how many times have you dealt with ray emma ray is one of the preachers i've
probably watched the most of but this will actually be the first time i've directly
addressed him on my channel i have featured his image in a running joke about bananas though
naturally this is actually the third time i focused on rey the first was on my channel and
the second was on simon dan's channel in the same break you also covered which is how i got to find
you as a creator so this is a two-part video with the other part on emma's channel for the full rey
comfort emma thorne skeptic experience you'll need to watch both parts go and see that after this
the link is in the description do you believe in god no you're an atheist yes i'd go to church all
the time with my family but it just it just didn't seem like it made any sense well i'm a christian
and my dad's a pastor and have you been born again yes as an atheist do you really believe
the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything i guess ray couldn't get enough footage
from just one of these folks so he's having to jump between the two so much and so why don't we
jump in on that too emma really mix things up like a really bad game of atheist theist tennis doubles
yeah let's do it i feel like going between these two might be partly intentional as well because
the atheist one has colorful hair and for some reason that is a stereotype about atheists that
people like comfort hate i also love how he always jumps to this something can't come from nothing
like that's a good argument i'm almost certain he doesn't understand what nothing is in terms
of beginning of the universe stuff it's such a frustrating lazy argument the thing is atheism and
the origins of matter aren't mutually exclusive or related in any way the only people arguing that
there was nothing and then suddenly everything are the people who believe in a creator no that
question is kind of like on the line yeah because nothing can't create anything because it's nothing
so they had to be a creative force she literally breathes in to respond and then they cut away
why is this editing it's not even subtle in being deceptive they literally overtly cut out
her response and like you said it's pretty clear that rey doesn't have a concept of what nothing is
maybe he thinks he's being clever by making it look like she said nothing like some kind of
weird banana holding irony what do you think's the biggest misconception people make about
god in heaven easy that they exist and can be demonstrated that they represent love and morality
oh good one and maybe there is no afterlife maybe they believe and they could do whatever they want
no consequences again a deceptive cut and this is the nice theist girl that they're putting forward
they removed the context between two statements to create a fake sentence i was just hoping she
was an atheist and was like i was once a christian but you're probably right though they do seem like
plants which comes up a lot in rey videos what about the thought that most people think they have
to be good enough to go to heaven what would you say to someone who said i'm good enough to go to
heaven i'm a good person how would you show them they need a savior i don't know about you emma
but i'd say that i really see no way that you or i would ever go to heaven but that's okay
because you're just as likely not going to go to a hell either this is a strange line of questions to
throw at a non-believer i've always thought that i wouldn't want to go to heaven anyway not if
like all my loved ones and the bulk of humanity aren't allowed to join me seems kind of selfish
and you're a lifeguard yes if you saw someone in a terrible riptide but they were swimming without
any concern what would you do would you try and warn them yeah i would because you care about them
yes and because that's literally your job and responsibility as a lifeguard i'd also hope
that the signs around saying beware of riptides would help but swimming in demonstrably dangerous
water and needing physical help isn't the same as praying to an undemonstrated being for having
lustful thoughts about derek down the street i know he didn't say it but i
presume that's kinda where it was going where will those people go if they die in their sins
define sins define hell demonstrate either a real and connected what kind of weird word
salad trickery is this see why i don't think rey's interviews are ever real i get so icky when
theists smile and like enjoy talking about how good people who aren't saved are gonna go to hell
tell me again how this is a loving religion because all the bread and wine you could ask for
i think i do like bread shouldn't you warn them probably yes if you see someone drowning you won't
just stand there and say well exactly i hate how rey is teasing this out we all know what you're
doing ray you're leading into how christians should evangelize because it's the right thing to
do well then you should be fine with every muslim hindu jew sikh etc doing the same thing also
you should probably ask the lifeguard to help if someone is drowning not a skater because that's
what the lifeguard is trained for wendy i'm a good person i don't need jesus what are you going to
say to me can someone take a sound bite of that ray comfort officially said he didn't need jesus
what on earth would you say to someone that said that to you as an atheist i'd probably say
something like congratulations you've realized you don't need to imagine there's a floaty sky
being judging you on your actions and you just do good things off your own back because you're
a good person bravo yeah congratulations you're a basically decent human being like the rest of us
most people stop needing to be coerced into being nice as a child but i'm glad you finally caught
up ray do you think you're a good person oh dang yeah i would like why did you hesitate
just i mean i feel like there's a lot of things that i've done that i'm not so proud of is it
because you're a sinner because you've committed lots of sins because humans are evil and sinful
right that's exactly where he's going with this question oh i wish you'd done that in a ray
comfort accent but you're definitely right he does this list of bad things you've done every time
that you do need jesus and that you need to believe are you saying i'm going to hell and
i'm a good person uh what are you gonna say to me why the monkey frigid bananas would an atheist
say you're going to hell ray they absolutely wouldn't i'm getting to the point where i just
want rey to interview me now to see if these interviews are real i don't think she'd be a
good evangelist no one has ever been converted by you need to believe like just trust me bro right
i'd get away with a lot more if people just believed what i told them this is my dilemma i
care about you and i see you're in terrible danger but you don't realize it you're like a man and a
riptide who's swimming thinking he's having a good time and he's gonna get pulled under do
you believe you're in terrible danger no yeah if a conspiracy theorist runs up to you and is like
you're in terrible danger and you look around and all is going on like you probably would think that
rey is the danger in this situation but he's so friendly looking and it makes so much sense nope
sorry no i tried to make that sound believable i i just couldn't rey is friendly like a smiling clown
at the beginning of a horror movie as friendly like he's not explicitly terrifying but you know
something is wrong death is wages according to the bible god's paying you in death for your sins it's
like a judge looks at a heinous criminal that's committed murder three girls you rape them and
then kill them the judge says you have earned the death sentence this is what you deserve this is
your wages this is what we're paying you and sin is so serious to a holy god he's given you the
death sentence capital punishment the soul that sins shall die the wages as soon as death we don't
take it seriously lying and stealing and doing things that are wrong it's no big deal everyone
does it so here we go think you're a good person how many lies have you told in your life too many
to count i'll be honest i stopped listening to ray during that he does this a lot spouts
off random things presupposing a god's existence if you do things that go against the well-being
of others in a human society there are ways of dealing with it secularly if you do bad things
you should worry about what will happen to you now who cares about what happens in an afterlife
if you can't demonstrate an afterlife is even real i don't know how considerate ray comfort is doing
vox pops but i really sincerely hope this person got some kind of warning before the interview that
he was gonna ask personal questions and randomly bring up murder and rape it's weird that he
equates those things with lying too like they deserve the same punishment but it's okay he's
saying things that are from a guard so that makes it all right right no no it doesn't and don't
forget eating shellfish eating shellfish is just as bad as all that other stuff i roll so what do
you call someone who tells lies a liar so what are you a liar you still think you're a good person
yes have you ever stolen something no and your whole life irrespective of its value oh yeah i
have stolen something what do you call someone who steals a stealer a thief a thief so what
are you a thief no you're not you're a lying thief do you still think you're a good person
i guess not i really like the interviewee at the start here they're like honest and don't get too
fazed by rey's nonsense until he pushes her into calling herself a lying thief despite knowing
nothing about the circumstances of those things whether they've changed like this is why religion
can really hurt people psychologically like however good they really are however well they
try to live their life people like ray will tell them over and over again how bad and evil they are
and how they need to be saved until they become dependent on the church it makes me really mad
that weird cut too different background sound and camera angle like he asked her
to say after the main interview yeah i've stolen something just so he could put it in dishonest
have you ever used god's name in vain yes have you ever used his name in vain as a christian
if i'm skating and i'm i almost found really bad then sometimes it just happens
this better not be going down the route of what do you say when you sneeze or well you say god
so that's proof you also say [ __ ] when you stub your toe but that doesn't make you crap yourself
and you say well [ __ ] when you witness something shocking but that doesn't mean you instantly have
sex words don't prove the existence of things things prove the existence of things yeah i get
this one all the time i get told off for saying oh my god as though that means that i believe
in god even though it's also apparently blasphemy and honestly who cares is that really a matter of
salvation like will jesus desert you if you say ah christ when you drive the wrong way in mario kart
oh i need to play mario kart okay would you use your mother's name as a cuss word no you wouldn't
substitute a name for the s word to express disgust and you've done it with the name of
god the one who gave you life gave you eyesight and hearing it yes i would i say jesus christ all
the time i also say jiminy jones sometimes if that makes a difference one of my favorites is pistopha
columbus feel free to adopt that one the voice of a guilty conscience can be like sudden thunder
have the effect of immediately sobering us and awakening us to the serious nature of blasphemy
if we ignore its voice we're like someone who takes the batteries out of a smoke detector
because they don't want to be alarmed by it of course there are some who'll say
that god is not his name it's just his title therefore using it as a cuss word is not blasphemy
but if i say i despise the governor of the state i'm not saying his name i'm just using his title
governor but his name and his title are one and same they mean the same thing they're synonymous
and it's the same with the one who gave us life his name and his title are one and the same
they're synonymous hands up who thinks ray just learned what the word synonymous means also i
thought the god of the bible was called yahweh or something does rey not even know the bs he spreads
i wouldn't even care if i said lisa dammit if i fell over lisa the rainbow giraffe is
indifferent about it she won't send you to the savannah with no water for saying her name in
vain or whatever literally who cares like it's irrelevant to me either way because i know that
god didn't give me life but if you are a believer how can you choose to follow someone you think is
so petty that they would condemn you for eternity if you use their title when you're
annoyed i'm also sure your mother wouldn't disown you for calling someone a mother
now jesus said if you look with lust you come at adultery in your heart have you ever locked with
lust yes had sex before marriage yes so here's a summation i'm not judging you this is for you
to judge yourself you've told me you're a lying thieving blasphemous fornicating adulterer at
heart who's self-righteous and saying you're a good person when a selfish you're not you're
just like the rest of us so here's the big question and by the way you've earned your wages
if god judges you by the ten commandments we've looked at four on judgment day you're going to be
innocent or guilty seems like i'd be guilty heaven or hell how see that's my dilemma i'm horrified
of the thought of death seizing on you today or tonight that you'd be damned by god justly
that breaks my heart they haven't told you that at all ray you've imposed those definitions based on
your faith most rational people do not consider looking at people adultery this really makes me
so angry like he's not horrified for this person he wouldn't be manipulating people into feeling
guilty about themselves for nothing if he actually cared about them here are some words i'm going to
say them fast and hope they stick i'm with you there emma looking at someone isn't adultery sex
before marriage with consent is just part of life too in my opinion unfortunately my wife's you've
got to ensure you're sexually compatible with someone before you marry and as for feeling guilty
i wouldn't care how rae felt because he hasn't even demonstrated the being he's feeling guilt on
behalf of so what did god do for guilty sinners so he wouldn't have to go to hell and see if you know
he sacrificed himself on the cross for us yeah hold up mia just listen to that god sacrificed
himself so that it would stop itself from judging you that was on the weird deity despite
it not even being demonstrated to actually have happened and even then it was a fake sacrifice
because it didn't even stay deaded well according to my fun adam and eve book for kids god made that
plan back when we first sinned in the garden he was like i know you guys are gonna break my rules
so for now i'll banish you and then in six thousand years i'll show back up just move
things over it's so weird i need to get a copy of that book a massive thank you to emma thorne
