The Argument About Christmas In this episode, we are about to discuss Christmas, the story of the Nativity or the birth of Jesus, a celebration that was borrowed from pagan traditions. The Nativity Argument examines whether the story of the Nativity or the birth of Christ actually happened or if it is merely symbolic. Several scholars argue that there is no archaeological evidence supporting the traditional story of Jesus' birth. For example, the town of Nazareth, where Jesus supposedly grew up, is not mentioned in any contemporary records until after Jesus' death. This suggests that Nazareth did not exist in the first century. Furthermore, there are arguments against the census mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, which states that Caesar Augustus issued a decree for a nationwide census while Quirinius was governor of Syria. However, there is no historical evidence that this census occurred during that time. The story of the Nativity, or the birth of Jesus, is a celebration borrow...

How the Ten Commandments have been modified. In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating topic of how the original Ten Commandments given by God to Moses, found only in the Old Testament, have undergone some intriguing modifications: 1. The second commandment was removed, and the tenth commandment was split. 2. There are references to other gods in the Ten Commandments. 3. The day of worship was also changed. 4. Prokynesis, or the ritual of worship through kissing, kneeling, or bowing to Jesus and other images at the altar, is a practice borrowed from paganism that contradicts God's command. 5. Swearing, blasphemy, and cursing go against God's commandments. 6. Giving money to the church in the name of God is a grave sin that contradicts God's commandments. The Argument of Decaentolaical, also known as the Ten Commandments Argument, is a philosophical argument originally crafted by a Filipino atheist, pointing out changes in the Ten Commandments and God's vi...

The Kataramáchi Argument, a term coined in the book "Bible Proves God Doesn't Exist", refers to the idea that religion is driven more by fear than by faith. This argument suggests that the underlying motivations for religious beliefs and practices are rooted in the fear of divine retribution or curses, rather than pure devotion or faith. Kataramáchi (καταραμάχη) is a Greek word derived from κατάρα (katára), meaning "curse," and μάχη (máchi), meaning "argument." So, kataramáchi essentially means a "curse argument" or "curse dispute." It's a term that describes a contentious discussion or conflict involving Curses by God. Here are a few notable ones: 1. Curse on Adam and Eve: After they ate the forbidden fruit, God cursed them with pain in childbirth for Eve and hard labor for Adam (Genesis 3:16-19). 2. Curse on Cain: For killing his brother Abel, Cain was cursed to be a restless wanderer on the earth (Genesis 4:11-12). 3. Curse o...

In this episode, we'll discuss the Argument from Morality. It's a philosophical argument that suggests humans have moral because  a moral god gave it to them. Among the moralities provide by god are the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17), such as not to steal, not to kill, not to believe in other gods, honor your parents, and use the correct bible(lol). Another example is the Golden Rule - "Do unto others what you would  you would like others do to you; or love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 7:12), (Matthew 22:37-40). The Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches that we should be compassionate and helpful to others, especially those who are in need, regardless of their beliefs, race, or status (Luke 10:25-37). However, morality is not universal, as there are cultures with their own moralities that may seem wrong to others but are considered right for them. Such as non-religious countries like Japan, Vietnam, and Sweden, that have their own moral laws. Non religious ...
