Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@CrossExamined says : Listen to the full podcast: https://crossexamined.org/nihilism-and-mass-shootings/>> <<@intodewood0598 says : If there is intelligent design, why do things like personality disorders exist?>> <<@pigeonrat5522 says : Im just struggling with intrinsic value and/or the metaphysics behind it. I struggle with existential ocd and depression and even though I am a child of God, I still doubt and suffer. I keep doubting intrinsic value, like I have doubted reality being real in the past, so hopefully its just a matter of time. Please pray for me sincerely. I do not want to be permanently nihilistic nor indifferent. My existential ocd is making me doubt and not see the intrinsic value in being, in people, in life, but not really in God because I consider him the objective moral standard.>> <<@Justaswise says : God is dead good riddance and guy in the blue shirt turned me atheist I tried to listen to him three times and couldn’t follow what he was trying to say something about the 19th century and organisms and digital code?>> <<@reddrabbit505 says : Europe by and large has very little religion AND they also got very few mass shootings. So it doesn’t seem to be lack of religion as the problem.>> <<@jonathanturek5846 says : I have a had a weakness... I am a good guy and treat my neighbors well. I was raised in the church and performed all my sacraments like baptised communion 1st confession etc. ( I'm Catholic obviously ) I have been around some bad people but always maintained my friendly spirit and natural good will attitude I've been blessed with. I was a good example for them and later on down the road one on one I would get told thank you for holding it down like I do and did. I am a sinner but have a good heart and like we say in da isles I have the Aloha spirit. My weakness as I manned up from being a rowdy teen was FAITH. I tend to be a nonesense guy give me the facts and hold your opinions. I later became a student of the sciences , History and spent 5 hours a day surfing and let's just say I embraced the big wave surf culture.. For any of you who knows what that is.. I became a little skeptical studying science and being around an environment of free spirits and roughnecks. As my passion grew for science 2014 + and going full throttle with the info age were in. The lingering doubts in my mind I could not control ( I'm honest with myself and others I'm close too) and was holding me back as I could tell the differance between me and a full 100% believer ... I can read things well and saw and felt a gap. I wanted to believe in the church the bible God Jesus + but those doubts had stonewalled any potential growth ... So finally I decided that after experiencing huge successes in my research of the stars chemistry astrophysics geology ancient history then why can I not do the same with my religion. I needed to bridge the gap with what learned in sci with my religion. I felt like I could not believe in both. So I dug in and used my same research methods on Christianity. Well I found this guy talking about the big bang Hubble the laws of physics etc and a full blown Christian ... I was intrigued ! I stopped everything and watched just about every video on yt with Dr Turek ... I cannot thank Dr T enough man... I was so happy to learn and find out what I was hoping and wanted to be the truth. Thru alot of great work I could only come to 1 conclusion ... That Jesus Christ is 100% for real. I knew it I felt it it was in my heart without a doubt. I honestly believe that Dr Turek saved me man. His work was exactly what I needed. I am soooo grateful. I give any of you the challenge.. Listen to the debates listen to the facts and search your feelings your heart. Do the research if you have any doubt. It's one of the best things that happened to me other than watching Zo E being Born which was the greatest event I ever witnessed and I seen way more than I should have .. Lol anyways Dr Turek Thank you brother ! PS .. I have to say Cody is my favorite CE villain. I really like that guy and enjoyed his attempts to stump Dr T. I can tell he was after truth and I bet he's found it .. Lol god bless anyone who read this far. Just sharing my gratitude and experience. If it touches just 1 person it was worth it. Aloha & mahalos>> <<@davidnewhart2533 says : Fun Fact: When God and the Bible was still being taught at public school, gun violence was not rampant at all. When they took that away, gun violence strangely increased. The issue is not a gun issue, but a sin issue.>> <<@bayesngays9341 says : Europe is basically athiest now. They have no mass shootings. This argument is specious, dangerous and plain dumb.>> <<@rockzalt says : The only place moral arguments that count are made is when men like Frank show up on campus. When it comes to public high schools and most universities, the Christian point of view is shunned so much, it's all but extinct in those classrooms.>> <<@sierraclark6129 says : “If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Now is the time to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Obey His commands and repent of your sins because Jesus is coming back soon. Tomorrow isn’t promised.>> <<@mickqQ says : Given the choice A mass of dead children Or Interfere with the free will of a child killer. God prefers dead children.>> <<@immanuel829 says : Please speak up against this gun cult. Yes, we need a change of hearts, we need hope, nihilism is a destructive belief without evidence. But we also need laws. Demanding laws regulating abortions on the one hand, but rejecting stricter gun laws on the other hand MAKES NO SENSE. The people in Europe are as broken as in the U.S. and all oder the world, but we don't have mass shootings. Only the police and the army should have the right to use such dangerous weapons. Jesus' Sermon on the Mount is not compatable with this disgusting gun cult. Please speak up.>> <<@amadeusasimov1364 says : It is heartbreaking to see that this generation does not consider life nor the things of life to be sacred. The absence of sacredness has become a rot on modern society. It is absolutely a moral decay. As it was said "many will fall away, and their love will grow cold.">> <<@mattslater2603 says : He sowed his eyes shut - because he is afraid to see He tries to tell me - what I put inside for me He has the answers - to ease my curiosity He dreamed a God up - and called it "Christianity" God is dead. And no one cares. If there is a hell - I'll see you there.>> <<@thomasmichael7902 says : Part of the meaning of life for many atheists is arguing and debating with Christians over the gospel of salvation of Jesus Christ. This alone reveals what they're made of, debating and arguing over a topic they believe is fiction and shows the belligerence within them. OOOH, but they're the first to claim to be moral, good people. Always looking for an argument over what they believe is fiction has surely given them their meaning and purpose for life.>> <<@tedzeiter833 says : So so true! I was telling my son we need to introduce these kids to a moral compass something no amount of laws can provide. It starts with the family.>> <<@pierrelindgren5727 says : "O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!" –Psalms 137:8-9 Guess the United States of America has served God as well as the daughter of Babylon. Just replace rocks with bullets. And seeing as these school shooting is unique and keep happening only to you among comparable countries, maybe Jesus is sending you Americans a message. Those who abandoned him have this and worse happening to them once your Lord decides to enact his petulant vengeance.>> <<@Glorious716 says : ✝️❤️‍🔥🙏🏽>> <<@anasmohammed8347 says : Being a nihilist is just dumb because it makes you suicidal when you believe that nothing matters>> <<@jimurban5367 says : For anyone arguing that having God present in society will prevent atrocities against humanity, I will point you to God’s own words in 1 Samuel. “3 ‘Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”>> <<@memastarful says : Sharing a song of hope during turbulent times we all are living in. Youtube: Jeremy Riddle-- Know be still lyrics. By: music meets heaven>> <<@michaelrunk5930 says : Btw when there rattling off all the things like the origin of the universe and the fine tune of the universe and DNA code there is nothing in there that proves the existence of God. Almost all the arguments Frank use is either A.) The God of the gap B.) Or complete fallacies that are not supported by scientific method. (Such as fine tune of the universe.) Let me make one thing clear we have theories of the origin of the universe. A the strongest paper on the theory of the universe that no one has yet been able to disprove is Stephen Hawkins. His theory doesn't require the existence of a creator. Frank knows enough about this stuff to hang himself. He doesn't know what he is talking about.>> <<@iamjakebryant says : Awesome>> <<@unknownvitster says : AMEN!!!!>> <<@memastarful says : Heavenly realm is our home eternity is our destiny on the other side. Death comes to us all. When, and how is a different story. We must soberly remember this current life is temporary. Do you know where you are going when you die? Jesus Christ is God's only Son. It is written He is the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to God the Father EXCEPT through Christ Jesus. ✝️>> <<@dannyc9903 says : How many times are we going to hear 'Pray for them' ??!! Praying has been happening for thousand of years and yet he never steps in? Why is that?>> <<@jeffrey64 says : Please point out when this nation was with God? A return suggests that there is something to return to.>> <<@joshswicegood3253 says : It’s always a God issue. Wickedness increases when the love of God decreases. Bottom line>> <<@azophi says : I guess if you are going to force a religion on people for their moral code then … there are definitely some better philosophies than Christianity at maintaining the well-being of society.>> <<@mickqQ says : Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? Epicurus The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had chariots fitted with iron. Maybe that’s why god can’t do anything about mass shootings , Guns are made of metal>> <<@Generatorman59 says : I Samual 15:3 – Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys. So... let me get this straight. God can take the lives of children and infants and we worship and praise him. But when someone else takes the lives of children, we turn to the same god who takes the lives of children and infants. You theists don't see anything wrong with this?>> <<@therighttoolcompany868 says : These terribly events are the results of the moral decay in our Country. We lost God‘s presence and replaced it with so many things that you so adequately have described. It would be very interesting to know what would happen in our country if a few things changed. One we got rid of Pornography, two we got rid of violent video games. Three and most importantly if godly men and women are in our communities teaching the love of Jesus Christ. And children once again growing up in those environments.>> <<@mickqQ says : A cursory glance though the history of humanity , One thing is clear Theology is no barrier to barbarity.>> <<@mickqQ says : Either God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn't care to, or he doesn't exist. God is either impotent, evil, or imaginary. Take your pick, and choose wisely. Sam Harris>> <<@thomasmichael7902 says : The family unit has successfully been dismantled, the love and compassion we should have towards each other has also been attacked and replaced with division. We've been indoctrinated and brainwashed into believing we're mere evolved ann a malls, is anyone surprised at the carnage that a godless society produces!>> <<@frankcardano4142 says : This doesn’t happen in the Uk because we don’t have guns.>> <<@aneldavanschoor5021 says : So true, Stephen Meyer cut straight to the heart of the matter. Lack of meaning. Nihilism>> <<@skhumalo3971 says : Why America allows any person to own a rifle? In my country (South Africa) I think only policemen and soldiers can carry rifles. Why would a normal citizen own a rifle? America must review their gun laws if they want to deal with this scourge of mass shootings.>> <<@NewCreationInChrist896 says : John 3:16-21 💝 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and onlye Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”>> <<@RT9903 says : I am so so so happy that Allah guided me Truly speaking, I used to have thoughts about suicide and murder too,in my early teens It was one of the reasons I started searching for something basic, something that was prior to everything and now I feel like the most contented person Alhamdulillah Back then ,I couldn't even imagine living two more years and now I can't wait to have a family and raise them as Allah wants InShaAllah I invite everyone to learn about Islam and read the Quran May Allah SWT guide you>> <<@steadfastneasy26 says : @Cross Examined The only solution, which won't happen, is to put the Bible back in the schools.>> <<@jeffphelps1355 says : In my opinion these mass shootings are caused by the rise of atheism.>> <<@jesuslovesyou1 says : Hey special person>> <<@midlander4 says : We really need the wisdom of liar Frank and liar Stephen making YouTube videos capitalising on the deaths of innocent children. Thanks guys.>> <<@tedidk8639 says : Most of western countries are less religious than the US if not all and they all have less mass shooting then us. It's not a lack God that is the problem for mass shooting and gun violence. The problem is much more complex.>> <<@ApplesAndOranges1 says : Bring the Bible back into schools. Educate children that murder is wrong and show them what the Bible says we can do to handle our emotions. No one is perfect but this is a huge step in the right direction to start minimilising shootings>> <<@kevinclint7588 says : WE ARE LIVING IN A FALLEN WORLD,………. THE ENEMY DOES NOT HAVE TO HIDE ANYMORE,………. THERE ARE THINGS HAPPENING RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE,……….. WHY?,………BECAUSE HE KNOWS HIS TIME IS SHORT,…………AMEN>> <<@Jerryman1158 says : An echo from the past spoken by Abraham Lincoln... " it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; ... We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!" Psalms 9:17 Proverbs 14:34 Jeremiah 18:7-10>> <<@cisuminocisumino3250 says : I agree with you to some extent, I also think this is more of a moral issue, the root cause these shootings is the mindset of individuals. Many of the youths today are depressed, frustrated and misguided, I highly doubt more gun laws will prevent such kind of mass killings. Let us all pray for God to intervene.>> <<@Steven-ki9sk says : '..'.if our lives matter to an ultimate person...' well tell that to the thousands of Ugandan Christians who died of Ebola despite having prayed to god to help them>>
