Christians Thank God for the Good But Blame ANYTHING Else for the Bad

Added: 2026-05-14

[00:00:00]Hello everyone and welcome back to the day off vlog. If you don't know me, my name is Jana. I work in full-time camping ministry and we just put on a Lord for a cart at all because I didn't have a quarter.

[00:00:20]>> She asked the Lord for a card and instantaneously the Lord provides a cart. Don't you just love it? Don't you just love it? It's like to find a cart, easy peasy, bro. To find your keys, even easier. But to prevent kids from dying in Gaza, no.

[00:00:45]No. Can do that, brother. But to find you a car, of course. What? Of course.

[00:00:50]I'm God. I can do that. But to save starving kids in Sudan, I don't know about that one, Chief. You might be asking for a lot then.

[00:01:01]>> Posh forever. All >> righty, man. We are back with another video. And you know what grinds my gears? When good things happen and believers say God did it and then the most horrendous thing happens and then all of a sudden it's human free will.

[00:01:22]It's the fall of man. And I'm just like, why do we credit God for the good things, but it's never his fault when things go bad.

[00:01:34]You feel me? I think that's a fair question, right? Because if you're going to say that God is the designer of this world and you're going to attribute the good things to him, it's also fair to attribute the bad things. Like when a tsunami happens and a quarter of a million people die. I think it's fair for two people to be like, "Yo, what's good about that, bro? WHY'D YOU LET THAT HAPPEN, BRO?" But then believers never want to do that. They want to They always want to attribute the bad things to everything else but God. And today, the video I'm going to be reacting to in regards to this topic is coming from promise back. You don't get to praise the good parts and ignore the bad.

[00:02:24]Responding to Christian videos. Amen.

[00:02:26]We're going to be reacting to a reaction. And I know that pisses folks off, but guess what? I don't care.

[00:02:36]Free. Am I right? Let's get into this one, shall we?

[00:02:39]>> Hey everyone, welcome to my channel. My name is Promise Backland. I was a Christian for 20 plus years. I'm an atheist. Let's scroll Tik Tok and respond to some Christian Tik Toks together.

[00:02:50]>> Let's do it.

[00:02:50]>> Do you know that Jesus knew every sin you would ever commit?

[00:02:55]>> He still chose to die for you.

[00:02:57]>> So, I understand why Christians would prefer >> I'll do you one better. Do you know Jesus Christ knew every sin you were going to commit and still chose to create you knowing you very well might end up in hell?

[00:03:12]How about that one? Let's proceed. to stick to the warm fuzzy idea of Jesus loving us so much and knowing how terrible we are and yet he loves us anyways. Um, but it's dishonest to not also address the other issue which is that you also have a God who is supposedly all knowing and all powerful um who knew when he created you before he created you whether you're going to end up in heaven or hell. And that means that he had the choice when somebody was an option to create. He had the choice to say, "Oh, I see this person is going to end up in hell. Let me just not create them."

[00:03:52]>> Like like let let's take a moment to critical think. Right? Let's take a moment to critical think. Right?

[00:04:00]You have a God that's all knowing. He knows every single sin you're going to commit. Like this Christian just said, right? So that means that he knows where you're going to end up. He knows. So if he knows you're going to go to hell, why not not create you or create you with the more likelihood that you don't have a proclamity to sin the way you sin?

[00:04:26]Like for example, right? Why create somebody who has psychopathic tendencies when you know that they're going to end up becoming a serial killer, right? Cuz obviously killers end up in hell, right? You know that a lot of folks are going to lose their life because of this person. Yet the way their brain is wired, they have a urge to kill. They have a urge for blood, right? Yet you create them anyways.

[00:04:56]But you're all knowing. You could have very well stopped that. You could have very well stopped them from being that person and eventually most likely end up in hell. But you create them anyways.

[00:05:07]That I have gripes with. That is not very consistent to me, bro.

[00:05:11]>> Instead, this god goes on and decides to create them anyways, knowing ahead of time that they will make the choices that they're going to make. We can get into whether they actually made those choices or not another time. Uh, but he he goes ahead and creates them, condemning them to hell. That is not loving. That does not give me the warm fuzzies. That's not cool at all. people who say they don't believe in God, but they believe in germs. And they'll stick their hands underneath the sink every single day, multiple times a day, to wash off something that they can't even see with their own eyes because someone told them that there's germs on their hands. And if they put warm water and soap and they wash their hands, it'll just fall off, but they don't believe in God. Why not?

[00:05:54]>> Has this guy never heard of or used a microscope? Even in my Christian homeschool days, we had a microscope to be able to look.

[00:06:03]>> Germs are observable.

[00:06:07]Just cuz you can't see them with your naked eyes doesn't mean that they aren't observable. They don't exist. Have we ever observed God?

[00:06:18]Have we ever taken a telescope or, you know, whatever you use to zoom super closely into heaven to see God sitting down on his throne? Have we ever done that? Because why would you think it's a good idea to equate not seeing germs and believing in germs to not seeing God and not believing in God? Why would you think that's a good idea? Why did that thought process marinate in your brain and you were like, "Yep, that's a true equivalence.

[00:06:52]Let's see it on Tik Tok."

[00:06:56]Like, brother, I don't understand how you see the brain is super intriguing to me, bro. Cuz doing this channel has made me realize that brains are different, gang. Like, and I knew this before, but now I can know it for a certainty that brains are different. Like, the way I process things in my noggin is so extremely different from the way somebody else does. And I guess that's what causes this, you know, I'm agnostic because I see a contradiction and I'm still Christian even though I see a contradiction, you know, but it's like, brother, that was not a good equivalence at all >> uh at things like germs. Um, yeah, I can answer this really easily.

[00:07:43]The reason I believe that germs exist is because of evidence. The reason I don't believe that a god exists is lack of evidence. We know germs exist because we can observe them. Um, as you pointed out, we've been able to figure out how to get rid of them. You said it requires warm water and soap. How did we figure that out?

[00:08:03]>> You answered it yourself, buddy.

[00:08:05]>> It's because we've observed it. We know that we can see germs and then we can do things to get rid of them or decrease the amount of them. Um, and then we look and see that it's worked or not worked.

[00:08:17]Um, yeah, it's it it comes down to evidence.

[00:08:21]>> Hello everyone and welcome back to the day off vlog. If you don't know me, my name is Jana. I work in full-time camping ministry and we just put on a >> I literally just asked the Lord for a cart at all because I have a quarter.

[00:08:41]She asked the Lord for a cart and instantaneously the Lord provides a cart. Don't you just love it? Don't you just love it? It's like to find a cart, easy peasy, bro. To find your keys, even easier. But to prevent kids from dying in Gaza, no.

[00:09:08]No. can do that, brother. But to find you a card, of course. What? Of course.

[00:09:12]I'm God. I can do that. But to save starving kids in Sudan.

[00:09:20]I don't know about that one, Chief. You might be asking for a lot then. Okay.

[00:09:24]>> And that car just just like literally rolled that way.

[00:09:27]>> It literally just rolled that way. Yeah.

[00:09:29]The Lord exists.

[00:09:30]>> The Lord's favor.

[00:09:32]Stop.

[00:09:34]>> Yeah.

[00:09:37]Yeah. Yeah, God took his time out of his busy schedule, out of all the things that's happening on our globe. God took his time to find you a cart.

[00:09:52]Hey, if you ask me, I would say that God needs a class in priorities, bro.

[00:10:00]And I'm sorry if that's blasphemous.

[00:10:03]I'm sorry. But it's like when people praise God for solving an inconvenience, I'm like, God could have spent that time, you know, making the world a little bit of a better place for innocent people. But what do we see?

[00:10:24]Lives are getting taken. It's getting worse, right? But you find your keys.

[00:10:30]The Lord, that would never make sense to me, bro. I'm sorry, bro. Like priorities. Hello.

[00:10:36]>> That is so crazy. That is so crazy.

[00:10:39]>> Yeah, it is crazy.

[00:10:40]>> I didn't have a quarter, but I needed a card. That was crazy.

[00:10:46]>> This is another one of those situations where a Christian finds it easier to look at the positive side of this than to look at it holistically. because this lady is thinking that um you know her prayer or her need uh for a quarter that she didn't have in order to go get a cart um resulted in God caring enough about her that he provided the cart. But what she's not acknowledging is that that would mean there are people who have prayed for, I don't know, things like rent so that their family doesn't end up homeless and they didn't get rent. There are people who have prayed uh that their abuser would stop abusing them. There are children that have cried out for that and they were met with nothing. Um you have to look at some of the worst atrocities in history and say that God chose to not get involved there. But in this moment at this grocery store parking lot >> instantaneously, >> God noticed that this lady needed a quarter. So he had a cart roll by.

[00:11:48]So, what's more likely? Um, that there's this God that exists that doesn't give a most of the time, but sometimes cares about things like a grocery cart or that it was chance.

[00:12:00]>> Like, you have to sit down and think that coincidences are a thing. I think a lot of people struggle with the concept of a coincidence.

[00:12:12]I used to be the same way, right? Like a coincidence was, oh, it's spiritual. Oh, wow. But at some point I be like, "Brother, coincidences happen. There are multiple moving pieces in our green earth. There's a possibility that something happens that's not typical, that's not supernatural. It's even not abnormal.

[00:12:35]It's just way too many moving parts for there not to be a possibility that some atypical thing happens." But some folks cannot wrap their minds around the idea of a coincidence. And I think that's where we see this come into play, right?

[00:12:51]Because your God is able to find you a cart. Yes. Yes. Yes. But to stop thousands and millions from being enslaved, no can do. No can do. No can do.

[00:13:08]>> Coincidence. And this lady was lucky.

[00:13:10]And that's cool. And that's fun. Um, and you don't have to not get excited when things work out for you. But to assign it to a god and make it seem as though there's something just so great about you or this god that you got special is causing you to be really lacking in compassion towards your fellow human beings who are not getting these things that they need, things that are significantly more important than >> brother. And I don't mean to be on a moral high horse. At the end of the day, this is just who I am, bro. Even while I was wearing off Christianity, bro, I would be like, "Yo, don't answer my prayers if it meant that somebody else gets a better prayer answered." Like, okay, cool. The bus didn't come on time.

[00:13:56]God, please let the bus come on time.

[00:13:58]You know what? I'll take a step back.

[00:13:59]I'll be like, don't answer this prayer.

[00:14:02]Go do something else that would benefit the majority. Because when the bus comes on time, I'm like, "Oh, yay. God did it." But it's like I think back to myself and I'm like, "Wait a minute." So God was able to make my bus come on time, but there are things that people have been praying for that they've never received. Again, priorities, gang. It's like two things could be the case, man.

[00:14:25]It's either chance or God has terrible priorities.

[00:14:31]That's all I'm saying. So sad watching religion turn people that I don't think are necessarily bad people into really selfish, arrogant people uh at least when they have to have this sort of mental gymnastics to think that this thing happened for them while ignoring other people's suffering.

[00:14:49]>> This is going to be a very sobering thought. It's not going to be very pleasant.

[00:14:54]>> Okay. Which of the following do you think is more likely? That the Holy Spirit is living inside of you and somehow failing to do what Jesus promised he would do by conforming your desires to his image. Or is it more likely that you just don't know him?

[00:15:13]Maybe you know of him, but do you know him?

[00:15:18]>> No.

[00:15:20]>> This is the question. This is one of the things that really used to get me when I was a Christian. Um, it's this combo of presenting a false dichotomy where you say there's only these two options.

[00:15:31]Either God is failing you or you're failing God. Basically, um, and that's the other part of this. It's it's a false dichotomy. And then they present you with one of the options being that you are the failure. And when you already have grown up being indoctrinated to believe that you're sinful, that you're not deserving of eternal life, that it's only through Jesus Christ, and that you basically suck without God, then it's pretty easy for you to go on and be like, "Yeah, I guess it's my fault. I guess it's my fault that I'm not able to pick up on God's existence, that I'm not feeling that his promises that he's made in the Bible are being fulfilled in my life. It must be something I'm doing wrong because of course it can't be God. What that situation fails to do is present some of the other options. Like maybe this God doesn't exist at all. Maybe these promises can't be fulfilled and it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with reality. But that's how they get you. It's this emotional manipulation to make you feel shame, to make you feel like you are doing something wrong so that you keep trying and you stay in it despite whatever doubts, despite whatever skepticism you might have, they want to stop it.

[00:16:48]>> If God allowed a man to see a glimpse of hell, he would crawl on shattered glass to church.

[00:16:57]>> So then, >> okay, but have you seen hell though?

[00:16:59]Like, how do you know? How do you know, bro? do me this. How do you know? Like when people speak so confidently of things that they've never really seen, they've never seen at all. I mean, aside from a dream, it's like, why do you speak about it so confidently, gang?

[00:17:17]Have Have you seen hell? How do you know that? Like, okay, buddy.

[00:17:22]>> Why doesn't he Why doesn't he allow all humans a glimpse of hell if you think it would be effective at saving them from hell? That's a good way to look at it.

[00:17:30]Why doesn't he allow that glimpse? Could we not have like a little window into it that we could all go observe? Um could he not allow some sort of evidence that this hell?

[00:17:40]>> This speaks to the point of there could be many signs to show people that you're real. There's a thousand ways to give a sign, you know, show a thousand people glimpses of hell right in the skies for everybody to see I am God. I am real. anything at all. Right?

[00:18:01]Jesus Christ came to the earth, right?

[00:18:03]So coming yourself isn't an issue, right? So why not show us now that cameras exist, right? Surveillance exists. Why not give us a sign to stop all these questionings and debates and arguments and wars and beef and like you know like a sign would solve so much so much noise. It'll be a lot quieter, bro.

[00:18:29]So much more quieter. Christians can't even agree on what's to write doctrine even within the same religion. There's so much freaking confusion, bro. And any sign, any sign would curb the issue. Any sign at all. But bro's been hidden for 2,000 years apparently. If we're going to indulge that Jesus Christ was God for 2,000 years, bros been hidden. No miracles that everybody agrees on, right? No signs and wonders, just random acts of this and that. And yet, we're supposed to believe.

[00:19:13]And it's like, brother, not everybody can force belief, bro. I personally can't. I need proof. I need evidence. I just can't believe, bro. I can't I can't fabricate believe in my noggin, bro. I can't. Right. I believe this exists because I can see it. I can see it. I can't believe in something that I don't believe in. I can't control that, bro. I really can't. All right. Even if you put a gun to my head and told me to believe in Jesus Christ, I would tell you that I believe. But do I truly believe within my heart of hearts? Nope.

[00:19:52]And for those of you that truly believe without evidence, oh, I envy you, bro.

[00:19:56]Oh, I do. Oh, I do. I do. I I I I envy you, bro. Like, your brain works in a way that I wish my brain could work. But unfortunately, that's not the case.

[00:20:07]exists. And please don't come to me with the whole well then that goes against free will because we have all these Bible stories of God revealing himself to different people in the Bible burning burning bush for Moses. There is uh God appearing to Paul. Burn a bush today.

[00:20:24]Burn a bush today so we can record it and show folks that this actually happened. I mean, okay, we've got AI now, so people gonna say it's fake anyways, but there's other ways to do it, right? He's got it. He's online. He knows a way that he would show himself that everybody will believe. He's God.

[00:20:40]He's all knowing. So do something, gang.

[00:20:44]Do something.

[00:20:44]>> The road to Damascus, there are disciples that walked with Jesus every day. So they were having him revealed to them constantly. Um, do we say that those people didn't have free will? I'm really not sure why this guy is saying this like it's some flex. Like if you really knew about hell, if God actually revealed it to you already, do something about it.

[00:21:06]>> Okay, cool.

[00:21:07]>> And you know, >> then why doesn't he? This is not a flex.

[00:21:11]This is, if anything, a good reason to not believe it. Why don't we have revelation of this actually being true?

[00:21:19]Why aren't we convinced? Because there's nothing convincing. It's just a threat.

[00:21:32]Okay, this says God's response to chaos, implying that the rainbow is God's response to chaos. I assume they mean when it comes to the great flood and now when it comes to storms that happened today.

[00:21:42]>> Yeah, bro. Bro flooded the earth. And it's like, well, here's a rainbow. I mean, I'm sorry. I mean, I won't do it again. I kind of regret it.

[00:21:53]I can't, bro. I can't. according to your beliefs. Who caused the chaos? Who created the big flood? Who decided that there would be massive storms that caused chaos? Again, you can't keep focusing on the warm fuzzy parts of your belief and ignoring what that means about the rest of your beliefs. While obviously there's a problem here with being consistent and with being intellectually honest, I think one of the big things is a lot of Christians haven't really talked to somebody that believes differently than them about these issues. They haven't heard another perspective. So that's why I do this and why I'm going to keep doing it. Thanks again.

[00:22:31]>> Yeah, but then the issue is the Christians aren't clicking on these videos. I don't believe Christians watch my videos. And if they do not the chunk of it, they hear me go against their beliefs and they instantly click off because they don't want their beliefs challenged. And for me, I watch Christian debates. I watch God logic a lot. I watch him debate Muslims. I watch a lot of Christian content. And I'm just seeking somebody who's gonna change my mind. So far, so so no. So far, not really, bro. Not really. It's It's been It's been very the same same same thing they say. Same thing, guys. Never really been convincing. So, but again, Christians wouldn't be watching these videos. And if they do, they only watch it so they could comment and preach. So, they could pick one segment of the video and preach about that segment and tell you why Christ is the way. And you should repent or you're going to burn in hell. Amen. Same man. That's the video, bro. Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below. for bing my videos and like and subscribe so I can see you on the next one. Peace, love, and safety to you, my friends. Peace out. Inner vibes.
