Atheist Exposes Christianity’s Biggest INCONSISTENCIES

Added: 2026-05-06

[00:00:00]And then I have some Christians say that it is a physical place where you will be tormented eternally. They don't all agree on it and therefore my point will fall flat with the person that doesn't follow whatever theology is that I'm criticizing. Another >> And the issue is if Christians can even agree amongst themselves about the concept, about the idea of hell, how are you supposed to convince an agnostic or an atheist that what you're saving them from is actually worth saving from?

[00:00:33]It's like you can't even agree within yourselves about what it is, but you want somebody else to come to your faith so you can save them from the thing that you're not even sure they can't even agree within yourself what it is.

[00:00:49]2 + 2 is 4, it doesn't make sense.

[00:00:53]Promise Backlund All righty, man. We are back with another video and lately I've been on a rampage about the inconsistencies that exist within the Christian faith. And recently I came across a video that basically just outlined all these inconsistencies in the most immaculate and articulate way.

[00:01:14]And I'm like, bro, I got to react to this. I have to. Today the video I've got for you is from Promise Backlund, atheist versus the multiple headed monster of Christianity.

[00:01:27]Hey, man. She really put out some really good points, bro. Let's check this out.

[00:01:31]>> If you're an atheist attempting to criticize theologies within Christianity, you're never going to be successful. Let me explain why. My name is Promise Backlund. Welcome to my channel. I was a Christian for 20 plus years and now I'm an atheist.

[00:01:45]>> It's always the Christians. Like, bro, these people who have these channels on YouTube that are now atheists or agnostics and they are talking about the religion. They always are people who were once Christian, people who once fervently practiced the faith. And this is a theme that I see within the atheist community. It's like I was once Christian, now I'm atheist. I was once a biblical scholar, now I'm atheist. I was once a seminary scholar, now I'm atheist. It's like, brother, there's a connection between studying the Bible and really investing your time into the faith and then deconstructing. There's a very close connection and I wonder why that is. I wonder why learning more about the faith prompts you to want to question it and I want to leave it. I wonder why that is, but let's proceed. talk about the forever moving goal posts of Christianity. Over the last 5 years that I have spent pointing out the inconsistencies and the flaws in evangelical and Christian rhetoric, I have noticed something. As much as you will find Christians claiming that they have objective truth, that they have an objective source, and that what they believe is true Christianity, you will be really hard-pressed to find two Christians who believe exactly the same thing. I mean, of course we know this.

[00:03:10]There are over 40,000 different denominations of Christians.

[00:03:14]Actually, I did look into that and that study is kind of flawed because it looked into denominations that even exist within the same church. I don't believe that there are up to 40,000 denominations. There are a lot of denominations and sects, but I don't think it's up to 40,000. Amongst the denominations, you'll find that there is a complete and utter lack of consistency. Let's go over a few examples of those inconsistencies. When I talk about hell, uh I have to be really, really specific that I am only talking about hell if it's somebody who believes that hell exists because I will inevitably have Christians show up in my comment section saying, "Well, I don't believe in hell."

[00:03:59]Or they'll say, "Well, hell is just where you're not with God. It's not actually eternal torment." And then I have some Christians say that it is a physical place where you will be tormented eternally. They don't all agree on it and therefore my point will fall flat with the person that doesn't follow whatever theology is that I'm criticizing. Another And the issue is if Christians can even agree amongst themselves about the concept, about the idea of hell, how are you supposed to convince an agnostic or an atheist that what you're saving them from is actually worth saving from?

[00:04:40]It's like you can't even agree within yourselves about what it is, but you want somebody else to come to your faith so you can save them from the thing that you're not even sure they can't even agree within yourself what it is. 2 + 2 is 4, it doesn't make sense. Another thing that's really funny to watch play out is when I talk about the concept of salvation and say that I once believed in Jesus, that I once was a Christian and now I'm not. And what will happen in the comments is some Christians will show up and say, "It's all right, you can never lose your salvation." And they'll cite the reasons why. And then I'll also have Christians show up saying that now I am damned and going to hell for forever.

[00:05:23]And we have the Christians that take Genesis They actually [snorts] hope that you go to hell. They Some Christians hope. They want to see you burn for eternity.

[00:05:35]Christian love, hello?

[00:05:38]Is the Christian love in the room with us? Cuz why are some groups of Christians so interested in seeing the atheist or the agnostic or the unbelievers burn for eternity? Does that scream love to you or just a bunch of hate? You hate them so much you would love to watch them suffer. You would love to see them burn forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever.

[00:06:01]It's like, brother, do better, gang.

[00:06:04]very literally and they will tell you that the earth is only 6,000 years old and they will argue with you when you point out that science shows us very differently. And that just brings out the Christians who say, "Well, I totally follow science.

[00:06:19]I just think that God caused the Big Bang or God created the theory of evolution." Or whatever their excuse is for being able to follow science and [laughter] then not science at the Don't double dip, bro. Don't dip the fries in ketchup and then dip it in sweet and sour sauce.

[00:06:38]Don't do that.

[00:06:39]Don't do that.

[00:06:41]Nobody likes a double dipper.

[00:06:44]>> [laughter] >> YOU'RE EITHER ONE OR the other, gang.

[00:06:47]It's like you either believe science or you believe the Bible. You cannot convince me that science is the how and God is the why.

[00:06:56]>> [laughter] >> That [ __ ] cringes me out. It's like, oh, yeah, I believe in the Bible. I believe, you know, that God, you know, used science to explain the things that happened in the Bible. So when science tells us that the earth has existed for millions of years and the Bible, you know, traces back to only 6,000 years, how do you reconcile that? If you're going to double dip, how? Like how do you connect that difference?

[00:07:23]Don't double dip. You either believe in the Bible or you believe in science. You can't double dip, gang, cuz science directly in many ways contradicts what's in the Bible in many ways. The flood is a big example. Science contradicts that by a ton. So you can't double dip, gang.

[00:07:45]Stop it. Stop it. time. Another one I love to hear Christians talk about is baptism because you have Christians that will say you absolutely have to be baptized in water in order to be saved.

[00:07:59]Then you'll have some Christians that say that that's just an act, it's a demonstration that you can do if you want or you don't have to. You have some Christians that say babies have to be baptized in order to go to heaven and they have to have water sprinkled on their head. They're all over the place with >> Yeah, you see, when I was Christian, the church that I belonged to didn't believe in water baptism. Though they did, but they didn't believe that it was necessary.

[00:08:24]So that's just one example of the inconsistencies as it pertains to different denominations, right? It's like some churches like baptism is necessary. Some are like, uh you don't have to do it.

[00:08:35]You know? Yeah. they think about baptism. I've had some Christians come out and say because I was baptized multiple times growing up, I was a pastor's daughter, so I kept saying yes, um that I actually wasn't baptized because somehow more than once means it doesn't count anymore.

[00:08:52]>> [laughter] >> Another one that escalates really quickly is when I bring up the concept of free will because there are those Christians that don't believe in free will. They believe in predestination.

[00:09:03]They think that God has assigned where you're going.

[00:09:06]Um contrast that with the Christians who are all about free will and they think that we absolutely have the ability to choose even though God knows everything and is in control. Anyways, now growing >> I'm more likely to align myself with the Christians that believe that we don't have free will as opposed to those that do because those that do are dancing around inconsistency because you can't have a God who knows all, who knows your beginning and your end and have free will. That's not possible. It's like trying to fit a square box in a circle hole.

[00:09:49]Yeah, yeah, it just doesn't add up. It's impossible.

[00:09:53]Free will cannot exist with foreknowledge because if he knows then he knows every action that you're going to take. He's the author of your fate so he knows everything that you're going to do so how can you have free will?

[00:10:08]It's like 2 + 2 has to be 4. It just has to be. It can't be 5.

[00:10:13]You can't pick a one from the shadow realm and say it's five. No. 2 + 2 always be four. Like it has to be consistent. It has to make sense.

[00:10:21]Otherwise it's bollocks. Growing up in a charismatic evangelical church introduced me very early on to Christians who think that speaking in tongues, praying over people and expecting healing, anything involving the Holy Spirit is actually against the Bible. That God doesn't interact with us like that today. But I grew up with Christians who believed that you had to have the Holy Spirit. You had to believe in the gifts from the Holy Spirit if you were to be an actual Christian. And they would all debate amongst each other and fight about it. Another thing they can't seem to agree on is whether or not women can be pastors.

[00:11:03]You will find a lot of women that are pastors including in the lighthouse.

[00:11:08]You will also find churches where women are banned from being in leadership all together and definitely can't be a pastor. If you really want to see some interesting comments start talking about the Trinity. Oh brother. God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one. Or saying that they're completely separate or anything in between. You will find that a lot of Christians cannot agree on this. Another thing that causes a lot of controversy is the idea of the end times. Is there going to be an actual rapture?

[00:11:40]When exactly is Jesus returning? Can someone know? Can they not know? Even something as simple as prayer can cause controversy amongst Christians. If you ask one, does prayer actually change outcomes of things? Can you get God to change his mind about a plan that he had put into place?

[00:11:58]Is prayer a way to have control over a situation or is it something for us so that we feel connected to God?

[00:12:06]Hey man. I argue that prayer don't work.

[00:12:11]I see it's pointless. Again, this goes back to it has to be consistent. If you have a God that predetermines your fate, your prayer is a form of doubt because he's already designed who you are. He's designed who you're going to be.

[00:12:28]Right? So you praying is asking God to change his will on your life or something. And that's just a form of doubt and doesn't work because if God already is predetermined your life, the way your life is going is the way he's he's intended. You praying is just like I don't trust God and I want a different outcome. Right? But a lot of Christians despise that idea because a lot of Christians pray and they want certain things to go a certain way in their lives but it doesn't align with the general idea of God. All of these disagreements are why ultimately I think that it's most helpful to start with the conversation of what is your evidence that a God exists at all. You don't have to get into Christianity specifically even though there are so many theologies within Christianity that are illogical and need to be criticized. But what I've noticed is there are even Christians who will say that they don't actually think a God exists. They just think that Christianity is the way they should live their life and thus they call themselves a Christian. There are also Christians I've spoken with that think Jesus was really cool but he wasn't a God and he's just a nice story and we should just go with it. The really hilarious thing about all of this is these are all groups of Christians that would call each other heretics.

[00:13:52]Yeah.

[00:13:53]Oh man. I remember when I was a Christian back in Nigeria in church, there used to be a type of silent beef within different church denominations, right? So I was Pentecostal, right? And I went to a certain church and there was Anglican churches around and there was Baptist churches around and THERE WAS CATHOLICS. OH.

[00:14:13]THE Pentecostals beefed with the Catholics but then it was it was silent beef cuz >> [snorts] >> there was a general understanding that we're all Christians but they disagreed with the way that Catholics practice and they would give slight comments as to how Catholics are going to go to hell because they don't really practice their religion like they're supposed to because they put an emphasis on the Virgin Mary. And I'm like, brother, why is there beef? Why are we dividing ourselves within the same general religion?

[00:14:45]It's like is the division ever going to end, bro? It's seemingly never going to end because we always find a way to divide ourselves even further. Even within the same religion and I found it as a Christian very weird. I'm like, they're Catholics, they're still Christian, they still worship God so what's the issue? They're like, no, they praise Mary too much. They're going to go to hell cuz they worship Mary instead of Jesus Christ and God. And I'm like, brother, at this point, bro, y'all just want to beef and it's like, count me out, gang. Count me out.

[00:15:14]>> a true Christian at each other. So I don't feel that offended when they do it to me and say that I never was a true Christian because they can't agree amongst themselves currently >> with the people who are claiming to be Christians. But to be fair to Christians, all of this is because there isn't an objective source. God isn't hanging out in the sky yelling down at everyone, oh yeah, that one is is being a Christian the right way. That one that one's not. That one interpreted that thing in the Bible incorrectly so you need to get that right. They're all just relying on their own human senses to get this right and agreeing that there is a right way although some of them don't even agree with that. They think that everybody goes to heaven. I don't know.

[00:15:57]Anyways, you get my point. This is what happens when you have a lot of people appealing to the idea of an objective religion, an objective truth and yet none of them are able to provide evidence of that being true. Hey man. I argue that when the text is fundamentally inconsistent, it's just natural for the followers to be inconsistent. All right? The text says a bunch of different things at different times that directly contradict itself.

[00:16:29]Hence why the people interpret the text differently and they follow different sides of it. That's why we have so many denominations. And it's sad because if only the text itself was consistent, how much peace would have in the world right now, bro? I can only imagine. Right?

[00:16:47]Okay, we're following this and this is the right way. Everybody follow this.

[00:16:51]Cool.

[00:16:52]That would be so so peaceful. You know, like we won't have to beef and argue on who's the right one, who's the wrong one and we can all agree and we can all just say, okay, this is the right Christianity. Let us follow this. But nobody knows. Everybody's doing different things. Everybody believes different things and it's like, which one is the right one? Which one is the right Christianity, bruv?

[00:17:16]But again, I don't really fault Christians. I just fault the text. The text is extremely inconsistent and it's only natural for the people for the followers to also be inconsistent. It's sad but it is what it is.

[00:17:30]This person's interpretation against this person's interpretation. It's this person's experience against this other person's experience. So you guys can keep calling each other heretics all you want and disagreeing with each other when I make a point calling out one group of you and the other one gets to appear to be superior by saying, yeah, but I don't believe that. Well, a bunch of the rest of you do and I will continue criticizing all of the bad ideas you guys come up with until you stop making [ __ ] up. In the meantime, if you're a Christian and you want to share, please feel free to answer some of these questions.

[00:18:08]Can a woman be a pastor? Is speaking in tongues required? Is it okay? Is it possible? Is hell a literal place where you are suffering for all of eternity or is it just separation from God? Can someone lose their salvation? How old is the Earth? If you're not a Christian, feel free to leave your questions in the comments for potential Christian readers. Any kind of inconsistencies that you found in their varying All of this is interesting of course but at the end of the day, the question I still am waiting for an answer to is, where is the evidence for the existence of any God? Much less the Christian one.

[00:18:49]Thanks again for Hey man. I'mma add on to this and say that do an experiment.

[00:18:55]Ask a Christian any question in the comments. It could be do we have free will in heaven?

[00:19:01]And I can guarantee that you would get different answers from different Christians.

[00:19:06]And yeah, that all points to what this entire video is about. All right?

[00:19:11]And if only the religion was consistent, perhaps we'd see some Perhaps we'd see a lot less unbelievers and a lot more believers. All right? Because consistency does attract people. All right? If you're able to say that this is this and this is how it is and everybody within your religion agrees, that's attractive to people. Right? But when Christian A says this and Christian B says that and then Christian C tries to debunk Christian A and B, it's like, brother, y'all can't even agree and you expect me to be convinced OF YOUR FAITH?

[00:19:47]HELL NO.

[00:19:50]ANYWAYS THOUGH, THAT'S the video. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section down below. Binge my videos and like subscribe so I can see you on the next one, man. Peace, love, and safety to you, my friends.

[00:20:03]Peace out.
