VenomFangX is a vlogger on Youtube who attempts to prove the existence of god and that Christianity is the correct religion. He claims that Christianity is the correct religion because the Bible predicts things that happen in the future. One of the things he says the Bible predicted is the resurrection of Christ - well, first of all, we know Christ was never resurrected because we know that resurrection is impossible. Second, even if it was true that Christ was resurrected, there would be no way to prove it...the only thing that says Christ was resurrected is the Bible itself...and no one can prove that anything in the Bible is true.
Someone please prove to me that any of the supernatural occurances in the Bible actually happened...you can't. Give me a specific prophecy that we can prove the Bible predicted (and I mean a SPECIFIC prophecy...not a vague one).

About Me
- kramer
- I am just an average guy who lives in Minneapolis. This blog is a place to share my views on religion and hopefully a place to have civilized and logical discussions about religion, its origins, its purpose, and its validity. It is a place where religion can be questioned (as it should be). On this blog I am attempting to use logic to point out the flaws in religion. You do not need a lot of complex science to dispute many of religion's claims. Religion can be disputed with very simple logic that the average person should be able to understand.
Every human owes it to themselves to at least watch the videos and read the arguments on this blog. If you do that and you still think religion is a good thing...well, then you are not truly absorbing the information and you need to think harder.
Though I find the traditional concept of god hard to believe, I cannot rule out the possibility of some type of god (since religious people conveniently made god an invisible being who cannot be detected and exists outside of all that we know...again, very convenient).
Common sense and a basic familiarity with the laws of nature tell me that many things in The Bible are scientifically impossible. The Bible is simply a fairy tale and it's about time people starting using their brains in regards to The Bible and other religious texts.
Though I am doubtful of the existence of god, I am not against belief in god...I am against organized religion, and its attempt to spread lies and to deny science. Every religion attempts to invent a god, and every religion claims to know who god is and what his intentions are. The truth is that every god of every religion was simply made up...by humans. Some type of higher power MAY have started the universe, but no one knows anything about that higher power, or if it exists at all. Leaders and followers of religions are are all posers - claiming to know everything, but actually knowing nothing.

There is no valid or correct religion. The only valid belief is to accept that we don't know anything about how the universe began, so there is no point in following a religion that lies to us and claims to know about the universe and god. If god is such an intelligent being, he won't unfairly punish people for not worshiping him. In fact, if god is so intelligent, he won't expect anyone to believe in him. He would understand that as intelligent beings, many humans will question his existence and he would not punish us for using our brains and seeking truth. I would think that an intelligent god would appreciate and respect people who use their "god-given" brains. He would respect and appreciate people who question things and seek evidence.
This idea that god is a petty, vengeful, being who wants nothing more than to punish us for doubting him - that is simply a load of crap invented by religions to keep people from questioning the religion.
All religions are just made-up theories that were invented by humans throughout history. The leaders and followers of these religions will claim that their religions are true and correct, but they are just ignorant fools. Don't be another ignorant fool - use your brain. God would want you to use your brain.
The Reason Project
The Reason Project is a nonprofit foundation devoted to spreading scientific knowledge and secular values in society. The foundation draws on the talents of prominent and creative thinkers in a wide range of disciplines to encourage critical thinking and erode the influence of dogmatism, superstition, and bigotry in our world. Basically - a group devoted to fighting the stupidity of religion.
Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a religion invented by someone to make fun of how ridiculous relgions are. The notion that the universe was created by a spaghetti monster is just as ridiculous as any of the far-fetched beliefs created by Christians, Muslims, Mormons, or any other religious groups.

Hi Kramer
Unfortunately, your logic in this post is quite flawed.
Firstly, you say that we know that Christ was never resurrected because we know that resurrection is impossible.
You are rejecting the resurrection because you have decided that the resurrection is impossible. But how could anyone prove the resurrection of Christ if the evidence that is required to prove it rejected a priori?
It would be similar to someone saying that the earth is not a sphere because it is impossible for the earth to be a sphere. It is just circular reasoning.
Secondly, you say that no one can prove that anything in the Bible is true.
Well that is just patently false. For example, in Acts 18:12-17, a title is ascribed to an individual as Gallio, Proconsul of Achaia. For a long time, it was asserted that this designation was impossible. However, an inscription at Delphi was discovered that describes the title and dates for this person exactly as in Acts.
So this one fact, alone, is reason enough to reject your absolute claim that nothing in the Bible can be proved.
You request a 'SPECIFIC prophecy' that can be proved the Bible predicted.
Well... see Daniel 2:37-42 which names actual, real empires in succession before they existed. See Isaiah 44:22-45:1 where Cyrus is predicted by name before the events described.
Ezekiel 26:3-14 predicted the destruction of Tyre long before it happened -- and provides specific detail about how that would happen.
These are just a few and they are:
1. more than a vague guess
2. more than just reading a trend
3. they are highly unusual and not normally expected
So you are quite incorrect to say that it is not possible to demonstrate a Bible prediction.
we know resurrection is impossible because it goes against the laws of nature and physics (resurrection has never been proven to be possible, or even suggested to be possible).
No one has ever been recorded being resurrected. It has not been documented or observed in any way that can be proven...so it's safe to say resurrection is impossible.
Honestly - if you think resurrection is possible, you are either crazy or a moron. You really believe a person can be dead for a long period and then come back to life magically? Just by admitting to that, you are admitting to being quite insane.
Secondly...I'm not saying NOTHING in the Bible can be proven, but none of the "supernatural occurrences" can be proven.
Here's the thing about all of the Bible's prophecies - do you really know when the predictions were made and when those predictions actually came to "fruition?"
How do we know the Bible wasn't altered in some way after those occurances to contain the prophecies? The Bible and everything in it happened so long ago, there is no way to prove the order in which it was written, or if it has been altered along the way in order to make its prophecies seem to be true.
So...unless the Bible predicted a MODERN OCCURRANCE that happened in recent times (long after the completion of the Bible's writing), none of it's prophecies are valid. Give me a Bible phrophecy that came true recently (in the last 100 years).
You can't, can you? Well, how convenient...now that we have all the resources to record and prove such an occurrence, the Bible can't predict one. Doesn't that tell you something?
