0:05 Welcome to logic over faith. There is
0:07 something interesting about religion
0:08 that many people notice once they allow
0:11 themselves to think freely. Religion
0:12 spends a lot of time telling people what
0:14 to believe, but it rarely encourages
0:16 people to ask basic common sense
0:19 questions. These questions do not
0:21 require advanced philosophy, complicated
0:23 logic, or special training. These
0:25 questions come from simple observation
0:27 of the world. They come from real life
0:29 experience. They come from the most
0:31 ordinary moments in life that reveal how
0:33 disconnected religious claims are from
0:35 everyday reality.
0:37 The purpose of this video is not to
0:39 attack anyone personally. It is simply
0:42 to explore 10 very basic questions that
0:44 religion cannot answer in a clear or
0:46 consistent way. These questions are so
0:48 simple that a child could ask them, yet
0:50 religious leaders either avoid them or
0:52 give long confusing responses that do
0:54 not actually solve the issue.
0:56 You can test these questions yourself
0:59 while watching. Ask yourself whether any
1:00 religious explanation you have ever
1:02 heard actually makes sense when examined
1:05 with open eyes and a calm mind.
1:08 The first question is very simple. If a
1:10 god created everything, then who created
1:12 God? Religion insists that everything
1:14 needs a creator, but then suddenly
1:16 decides that this rule does not apply to
1:18 God. This is like a teacher telling
1:19 students that every line in a math
1:21 problem must follow a rule except the
1:23 line that the teacher wrote. It breaks
1:26 the logic of the argument. If the
1:28 universe cannot exist without a creator,
1:30 then how can a being far more complex
1:32 than the universe exist without one?
1:34 When you observe nature, you see complex
1:36 things developing from simple
1:38 conditions. You see stars forming from
1:40 gas clouds. You see life developing from
1:43 basic chemistry. You never see a complex
1:45 mind appearing out of nothing. Religion
1:47 tries to solve the origin question by
1:49 inserting something even more complex,
1:51 which only makes the puzzle harder, not
1:54 easier. Another question that religion
1:56 cannot answer is why a perfect God would
1:58 need worship. If a being is perfect,
2:00 complete, and self-sufficient, then why
2:03 would it desire praise from humans?
2:04 Think about what praise means in real
2:07 life. People who constantly demand
2:09 compliments often do so because they
2:12 feel insecure or need validation. But a
2:14 god that is perfect should have no
2:16 insecurity. It should not care whether
2:18 humans admire it or ignore it. And if
2:21 this god created billions of galaxies,
2:22 why would it care about a few seconds of
2:24 praise from small creatures living on a
2:26 tiny planet? Religious leaders often say
2:28 that worship is not for God but for
2:30 humans. But if worship does not benefit
2:32 God, then why threaten people with
2:34 punishment if they refuse to do it? If
2:36 worship is only for humans, there is no
2:39 reason to force it. You do not punish
2:41 someone for refusing a vitamin pill. The
2:43 existence of threats shows that religion
2:44 does not truly believe its own explanation.
2:46 explanation.
2:48 A third common sense question is why God
2:50 communicates in such confusing and
2:52 unreliable ways. If a god wants all
2:54 humans to follow the same truth, then
2:56 the message should be clear, direct, and
2:59 universal. Instead, we find thousands of
3:01 religions, each claiming that its book
3:04 is perfect and divinely protected. These
3:06 books do not even agree with each other.
3:08 Some claim that humans have one life.
3:10 Others claim many lives. Some say
3:12 alcohol is allowed. Others say it is
3:14 forbidden. Some say God is one. Others
3:17 say God is many. If there was a God that
3:19 wanted humans to know the truth, why
3:21 would it allow so much disagreement?
3:22 Think about how humans communicate
3:24 important information. If there is a
3:26 fire in a building, people shout loudly
3:28 so everyone can hear. They do not
3:30 whisper in different corners hoping that
3:32 maybe someone understands. Yet, religion
3:33 claims that the most important
3:35 information in the universe was
3:37 delivered through ancient stories,
3:39 visions, dreams, and books written by
3:41 people who lived in times when most of
3:43 humanity could not read. This is not how
3:44 a being with unlimited power would
3:46 deliver a message. This is how humans
3:49 deliver myths. A fourth question is why
3:51 suffering exists equally for believers
3:53 and non-believers.
3:55 Religion promises special protection for
3:57 those who obey God. But when you look at
4:00 real life, pain does not avoid religious
4:02 people. Natural disasters destroy homes
4:05 of the faithful and faithless alike.
4:07 Children of believers get cancer just as
4:09 often as children of atheists. Crime
4:12 affects both equally. If a god is
4:14 actively guiding the world, then there
4:15 should be at least a small visible
4:18 difference. But there is none. When a
4:20 religious person recovers from illness,
4:23 they thank God. When they die, the same
4:25 religion says it was a test. This is a
4:27 no-win explanation. Anything at all can
4:30 be called a test. Even complete silence
4:32 and inaction can be called a test. But a
4:34 test that cannot be measured, verified,
4:36 or questioned is indistinguishable from
4:38 nothing happening at all. Another common
4:40 sense question religion avoids is why
4:42 miracles always hide from cameras,
4:44 hospitals, and scientific observation.
4:46 Millions of people carry highresolution
4:49 cameras in their pocket every day. Yet,
4:52 not one clear miracle is recorded. Not
4:55 one amputated limb regrows with proof.
4:57 Not one mountain moves when prayed for.
4:59 Religious stories fill the past with
5:02 miracles, but the present remains empty.
5:04 It is like claiming that dragons existed
5:06 until the moment humans invented
5:09 cameras. If miracles were real, at least
5:11 one clear case should exist that can be
5:14 examined openly. Hospitals would observe
5:16 supernatural healing. Scientists would
5:19 detect events that violate physics. But
5:21 miracles only happen in private rooms,
5:23 in the minds of believers, or in stories
5:24 told by people who heard them from other
5:27 people. The absence of evidence becomes
5:29 even more meaningful when the entire
5:30 world is capable of recording
5:33 everything. A sixth question is why a
5:35 loving God would create humans with
5:37 natural desires that it later punishes.
5:39 According to religion, God created the
5:42 human brain. That means God created the
5:44 desire for food, pleasure, sex, and
5:46 curiosity. Yet, many religions punish
5:48 people simply for acting on normal human
5:51 desires. If a god did not want humans to
5:53 have sexual desire, why give them sexual
5:56 organs and instincts? If a god did not
5:58 want humans to doubt, why give them a
6:00 questioning mind? This is like designing
6:02 a car with four wheels, then shouting at
6:03 the owner for driving it instead of
6:05 carrying it. When humans create rules,
6:07 they try to match them with human
6:09 nature. For example, schools adjust
6:12 teaching methods to how children learn.
6:14 But religious rules often go directly
6:16 against human biology. This mismatch is
6:18 strong evidence that these rules were
6:20 invented by people who misunderstood
6:22 human psychology, not by a creator who
6:24 designed the human mind. A seventh
6:27 question is why an all powerful god
6:29 needs humans to defend it. Religious
6:31 followers constantly argue, debate, and
6:33 even fight to protect the honor of their
6:36 god. But if a god is truly all powerful,
6:38 then why would it need help from humans?
6:41 Humans defend things that are weak. You
6:43 defend a child, not a hurricane. Yet
6:45 religions demand constant defense of
6:47 God, as if God would somehow lose
6:49 without human support. This behavior
6:51 suggests that the God idea is fragile
6:53 and requires constant reinforcement.
6:54 When a belief is strong, it can
6:57 withstand criticism without fear. When a
6:59 belief is weak, it needs defenders. If a
7:02 god truly existed and wanted respect, it
7:03 could simply reveal itself to everyone
7:05 with undeniable clarity. There would be
7:07 no need for humans to argue on its
7:10 behalf. An eighth question is why
7:12 religious morality changes with time.
7:14 Many religions once taught that slavery
7:17 is normal, that women are inferior, that
7:18 certain races are cursed, or that
7:20 certain punishments must be used for
7:22 minor actions.
7:24 Today, almost all religions reject these
7:27 teachings or reinterpret them. If moral
7:29 rules come from a perfect timeless god,
7:31 why do they keep changing? The only
7:33 explanation that fits real life is that
7:35 morality evolves through human
7:37 experience. Humans learn, grow, and
7:39 understand the world better. Religion
7:41 simply adjusts to avoid losing
7:43 followers. This is why religions now
7:45 accept things they once called sins and
7:47 reject things they once called normal.
7:50 Morality is shaped by society, not by
7:52 divine command. If moral truth came from
7:54 a perfect God, it would be clear and
7:56 unchanging. Instead, it shifts
7:58 constantly, just like human culture. A
8:00 ninth question is why a god that
8:02 supposedly controls everything allows
8:03 holy books to be filled with
8:05 contradictions. If a book is divinely
8:07 inspired, then it should be free of
8:09 errors. A perfect being would produce
8:12 perfect instructions. But when you read
8:14 religious texts, you find conflicting
8:16 stories, unclear commands, and
8:17 scientific claims that do not match
8:19 reality. Believers often try to
8:21 reinterpret these passages, but
8:23 reinterpretation only proves the point.
8:25 If the message were clear, there would
8:27 be no need for endless explanations. In
8:29 real life, when a manual is well
8:31 written, everyone understands how to use
8:33 the device. When a manual is poorly
8:35 written, people argue about what it
8:37 means. Religious books look far more
8:39 like ancient literature than divine
8:41 communication. The 10th question
8:43 religion cannot answer is why God always
8:45 behaves exactly like ancient humans imagined.
8:46 imagined.
8:49 Gods from hot regions forbid pork, while
8:51 gods from cold regions do not care. Gods
8:53 from desert cultures forbid painting
8:55 images, while gods from other cultures
8:58 do not. Gods from ancient tribes behave
9:00 like tribal leaders who reward loyalty
9:02 and punish enemies. These divine
9:04 personalities resemble the people who
9:06 wrote about them. When a god looks
9:08 suspiciously similar to the culture that
9:11 created it, the most logical explanation
9:13 is that humans invented the god, not the
9:16 other way around. If a god created
9:18 humans, we would expect God to be unlike
9:20 human imagination.
9:22 Instead, every religion imagines God in
9:24 a way that fits the time, place, and
9:25 fears of the people who invented the
9:28 story. When you begin to examine these
9:30 questions without fear, something
9:32 interesting happens. You start to see
9:34 that religion is not structured around
9:36 truth. It is structured around emotional
9:38 comfort, cultural habits, and social
9:40 pressure. Many people do not believe
9:42 because the answers make sense. They
9:44 believe because it feels familiar or
9:46 because leaving religion feels
9:48 frightening or because the idea of
9:49 questioning something sacred feels like
9:51 crossing a line that society told them
9:54 never to cross. But once you remove that
9:57 fear, the problems become easy to see.
9:59 Take for example the idea that God has a
10:01 plan for every person. This phrase is
10:03 repeated so often that people stop
10:05 thinking about what it actually means.
10:07 If every event in your life is part of a
10:09 divine plan, then your decisions are not
10:11 your decisions. Your failures are not
10:13 your failures. Your achievements are not
10:15 your achievements. Everything is
10:17 predecided. Yet, religion also insists
10:19 that you will be judged for your
10:21 actions. How can you judge someone for
10:23 doing something that was already planned
10:26 for them? Imagine a teacher who decides
10:28 your final grade before the exam, then
10:30 blames you for not writing the correct
10:33 answers. It makes no sense. Religious
10:35 leaders try to combine destiny and free
10:38 will, but the two ideas cancel each
10:39 other out.
10:41 You cannot have freedom and a
10:43 pre-written script at the same time.
10:45 This contradiction is so obvious that
10:47 children notice it yet religions still
10:50 try to defend both ideas.
10:52 Another important question is why gods
10:54 hide from humans? If a god wants humans
10:56 to believe, then why make belief the
10:58 hardest path? Why leave no clear signs
11:00 of existence? In real life, if someone
11:03 wants attention, they show themselves.
11:04 They speak clearly. They make their
11:07 presence obvious. Religion claims that
11:09 God wants humans to follow divine rules,
11:11 but God never appears, never speaks
11:13 publicly, never demonstrates anything in
11:15 a way that can be confirmed. If God
11:17 appeared once and said, "Here I am,"
11:19 there would be no atheists, no
11:21 confusion, no religious conflict. But
11:23 instead, religion says, "God hides
11:25 because belief must be based on faith."
11:28 Think about what this means. Faith is
11:30 believing without evidence. In any other
11:32 part of life, believing without evidence
11:34 is considered risky and irresponsible.
11:36 You do not board a plane if the pilot
11:37 says, "Trust me, I cannot show you my
11:40 license." Yet, religion insists that the
11:41 most important question in the universe
11:43 must be answered without evidence. This
11:45 is not a divine test. This is how
11:47 humanmade systems work. They rely on
11:50 faith because they cannot rely on proof.
11:52 A very simple question that exposes the
11:54 human origin of religion is why God
11:56 needs money. Look at any religious
11:59 institution. They collect donations,
12:01 build expensive buildings, buy sound
12:03 systems, run campaigns, and ask
12:06 followers to give more money. But what
12:07 does an all powerful being need money
12:10 for? If God created the universe, God
12:12 could create gold, stone, or wood
12:15 without effort. Yet, religious
12:17 organizations constantly ask for money
12:19 on behalf of God. It becomes obvious
12:21 that the money does not go to God. It
12:23 goes to the institution. And the
12:25 institution is run by humans, not by a
12:27 supernatural power. If religion had
12:29 divine backing, it would not need
12:31 endless fundraising. The fact that it
12:33 does is strong evidence that religion
12:34 functions like any other human organization.
12:36 organization.
12:38 Another common sense issue is why God
12:40 created a world where the truth is
12:42 difficult to find. If there is one true
12:44 religion, then why are there thousands
12:46 of religions, each convinced it is
12:48 correct? Why would a God allow false
12:51 religions to exist at all? If a teacher
12:52 wants students to learn the correct
12:54 answer, the teacher does not allow 10
12:56 different textbooks filled with wrong
12:59 information. The teacher provides clear
13:01 instructions. Yet, religion claims that
13:03 God created people with different
13:05 cultures and languages, allowed
13:07 thousands of conflicting religions to
13:09 grow, and then expects humans to guess
13:12 which one is correct. This is like
13:14 placing 10 bottles on a table, nine
13:16 filled with poison, one filled with
13:18 water, then blaming the person who
13:20 drinks the wrong one. If a god wanted
13:22 humans to know one truth, the truth
13:25 would be obvious. The fact that it is
13:27 not obvious suggests that humans, not
13:30 god, created the religious ideas.
13:32 Another question that seems small, but
13:35 reveals a major flaw is why God created
13:37 a universe so enormous and complex. If
13:39 the main story is only about humans, the
13:42 observable universe contains billions of
13:44 galaxies. Each galaxy contains billions
13:47 of stars. Most stars have planets. Many
13:49 planets could host life. Yet religion
13:51 claims that the creator of all this is
13:53 focused mainly on the actions of humans
13:56 living on one tiny planet. This is like
13:57 building a city of a thousand
14:00 skyscrapers and placing one ant on one
14:02 floor of one building, then claiming the
14:05 entire city was built for that ant. The
14:07 scale of the universe makes religious
14:09 stories look like ancient tribal myths.
14:11 Ancient people imagine themselves at the
14:14 center of creation because they did not
14:16 know how large the universe is. Modern
14:18 astronomy exposes how small we really
14:21 are. Yet religion still repeats the old
14:24 claim that it is all about us.
14:26 Another question that religion cannot
14:27 answer is how a perfect God can create
14:30 imperfect humans and then blame them for
14:32 being imperfect. If you create something
14:34 with flaws, you are responsible for
14:36 those flaws. If a company sells a phone
14:38 with a faulty battery, the company is
14:40 responsible for the fire risk. But
14:42 religion says God created humans with
14:44 desire, fear, selfishness, and
14:46 confusion. then later punishes humans
14:48 for acting according to the nature they
14:50 were created with. If a god wanted
14:52 humans to be perfect, God could have
14:55 created them perfect. If a god wanted
14:57 humans to avoid mistakes, God could have
14:59 shaped their minds to avoid wrong
15:02 choices. The idea of blaming humans for
15:04 being human makes no sense unless you
15:05 see religion as a system that needs
15:08 guilt to maintain control.
15:10 Another powerful question is why God
15:12 only performs miracles that match human
15:14 imagination. People imagine water
15:16 turning into wine, people walking on
15:19 water, burning bushes, talking animals,
15:21 or angels with wings. These were the
15:22 kinds of supernatural events ancient
15:25 people thought were impressive. But none
15:26 of these events match the real laws of
15:28 biology or physics. They are the
15:30 imagination of people who lived without
15:33 science. If a god truly wanted to
15:35 demonstrate power, God could alter the
15:38 rotation of earth, shift stars, create
15:40 visible patterns in the sky that
15:42 everyone can see or reveal knowledge
15:44 unknown to humans. Yet, no religion
15:46 reports miracles that reveal advanced
15:49 scientific knowledge. This suggests that
15:51 the miracles were invented by people
15:53 limited by the imagination of their time.
15:54 time.
15:56 There is also the question of why God
15:58 answers small prayers but ignores
16:00 massive tragedies. Religious people
16:02 often say God helped them find lost
16:06 keys, pass an exam or get a job. But at
16:07 the same time, millions of children
16:10 starve, millions suffer from diseases,
16:12 and countless people die in conflicts
16:14 and disasters.
16:16 If God helps with small personal
16:18 requests but ignores enormous suffering,
16:21 then the God is not loving. If God is
16:23 loving but does not help, then God is
16:26 not powerful. If God is powerful but
16:28 does not know, then God is not all knowing.
16:30 knowing.
16:31 Religion tries to escape this by
16:33 claiming that God works in mysterious
16:37 ways. But mystery is not an answer. It
16:40 is a way to avoid the question. A loving
16:42 parent would not help one child tie
16:44 their shoelaces while ignoring another
16:47 child being crushed under a building.
16:48 All these questions reveal something
16:50 important. Religion does not answer
16:52 basic common sense questions because
16:54 religion was never designed to answer
16:56 questions. Religion was designed to give
16:57 people stories, comfort, and control
16:59 long before humans had the tools to
17:01 understand nature. When knowledge
17:03 expands, religion shrinks. The space
17:05 where God once lived becomes smaller
17:07 with every discovery. Storms were once
17:10 the anger of gods. Now we understand
17:12 weather patterns. Diseases were once
17:14 demons or curses. Now we understand
17:17 germs and immunity. Earthquakes were
17:19 punishment for human behavior. Now we
17:22 understand plate tectonics.
17:24 Every time humans learn more about the
17:26 world, the need for supernatural
17:29 explanations becomes smaller.
17:31 And this is the real reason religion
17:33 cannot answer common sense questions.
17:35 The questions expose the human origin of
17:37 religious ideas. They show that religion
17:39 is built on assumptions, fear, and
17:41 tradition rather than truth. Religion
17:43 relies on authority, not evidence. It
17:46 relies on belief, not explanation. It
17:48 relies on repetition, not understanding.
17:51 Once you start asking simple questions,
17:53 the structure begins to collapse. You do
17:54 not need to attack religion
17:56 aggressively. You only need to think
17:58 that is enough.
18:00 This is why religion continues to weaken
18:02 over time. Not because people are
18:04 becoming immoral, but because people are
18:07 learning to think for themselves. They
18:08 are asking the questions that earlier
18:11 generations were afraid to ask. They are
18:13 noticing the contradictions that earlier
18:16 generations ignored. They are choosing
18:18 reality over tradition.
18:20 And once that choice is made, religious
18:23 answers lose their power.
18:25 This video encourages you to continue
18:27 asking questions. Ask them with
18:29 curiosity, not fear. Ask them with
18:32 honesty, not guilt. Ask them because
18:34 truth deserves to be discovered, not
18:37 inherited. These common sense questions
18:39 do not require advanced philosophy. They
18:41 only require the courage to look at
18:44 religion with clear eyes. And once you
18:47 do, the truth becomes obvious. Religion
18:49 cannot answer these questions because
18:51 religion was never built on answers. It
18:53 was built on stories. The moment you
18:55 look beyond the stories, you begin to
18:57 understand the world in a deeper,
