Bible stories put into cartoon format, then analyzed by an atheist
I'm Alley and I primarily work on a series called "An Atheist Reads the Bible" that takes particular stories from the Bible, puts it into a silly animated format, but then asks some serious questions.
This is not a channel that simply bashes religion. I grew up in The South in the United States and encountered fierce devotion to the Christian religion for most of my life.
Most people who begin to doubt the fundamental claims of a religion usually do so upon encountering cosmology or biology or another natural science. I began to see religion as man-made once I started to really read the Bible.
I welcome comments from every and anyone on my channel, my videos or in a private message.
Enjoy.

This is the brilliant opening statement (set to visuals) that Christopher Hitchens gave in a religion vs. atheism debate with Alister McGrath on October 11, 2007. Instead of simply watching Hitchens at the podium, here the speech's audio is overlayed with illustations to try to do justice to the logic of this very compelling argument.

all of you are absolute tik tok youtube short losers
Holy hell... why would you delete most of the legit, uplifting atheist content from your channel, but leave THIS?! Garbage content from a frigging s*x off*nder? Give your head a shake, you nard.
Wow. A Louis CK hater. You're a rare breed.
@@DaveThompsonfairlife4all Way to miss the point, sweetcheeks 💜
Do you do debates?
I miss your old content
where did all your videos go?
Yes the "best" way to intervene was the Son of God's sacrifice in the Middle Eastern city of Jerusalem under Roman occupation. The question is "Why?' the Answer is quite dynamic and more expensive than a single sound bite, or what I can provide here, but here is how to begin thinking about it and how to see more of what was "going on" with God's choice to do it as such. 1) yes humans have been around for a long time, and God has indeed intervened in spiritual and historical ways with people(that is with ancient Jews specifically and with other groups, unrecorded). *God is God of the whole world and all people and works subtlety with them, but he is specifically God of the Jews(historically) like the wind is everywhere but is manifestly some places. So too God is everywhere but manifestly present some places with some people... This was the special calling of the Jews to be "manifestly" his people, so the world would know what God is like. Certainly there must be groups and factions and tribes so that we might know what are better and more accurate at certain things. Jews by God's divine choice are that people. So the Messiah, that is Jesus, God's "Salvation" was going to also come through the Jews. And thus naturally would take place in the location where the Jews were. 2) the nature of Jesus's specific intervention is understood from the Levitical priests role of performing sacrifice to make clean, or cover for sin. This is a specific spiritual sort of "issue" of mankind, which is done by priests on mankind's behalf. Just like the Levitical priests performed the temple sacrifices for the people, without most of the people really being that aware. Jesus was preforming a "truer/more universal" sacrifice for all of mankind, in the same vein/nature of what the Levitical priests were doing. You have to understand their work to understand what Jesus was doing. *Are there lots of other human needs, water, food, justice, peace, safety, love, etc etc etc, that need fixing? Yes, of course. And God does guide and move in those ways (often without our explicit knowing) but those needs were not what Jesus was doing. He came for that very specific spiritual need, that was his true work of the cross. Salvation from spiritual issue caused by sin. 3) Jesus came "at just the right time". Why 2000s ago was the right time is a bit of a mystery, but a few things to note a) this was the time prophesied by Daniel. So in keeping with the Jewish Prophesy this was the "right" time. Notice the right time is not dependent on human need or worldly "best" moments but on right timing in accordance with "Prophesy". B) Jerusalem was at the Center of the world, at least when it comes to major trade routes and the intersection of major empires; Egypt and access to the African nations, Greece and access to the European nations,and Meso-persia and the eastern empires. Alexander the Great had gone and conquered much establishing his infrastructure across these areas and then Rome comes and builds all its roads. So the world was being curated with infrastructure, to allow for the movement of people and ideas. So Jesus came at a "fitted time" at least. This was a far more fitted time than say the hunter and gather period. Or even now days. So Hitchens is thinking like a common person, but if ones thinks larger, and with a higher perspective on the history and specifics, one hopefully can begin to see the actual answers to why Jesus came and what he did. There is far far more to understanding, but this is a decent opening of the door for now. 😊 God Bless everyone, especially God's Children!
He is wrong tough
This is frighteningly accurate
“That we must simultaneously love and be terrified of at the same time.” I think Hitchens missed the opportunity to deconstruct another moral failing of religion-It tries to fool people into believing that there is virtue in naked cowardice.
Old Testament God: (God creates and destroys) god was mad at man for not "understanding" or even worse, deliberately going against his great plan. God banished Adam and Eve from paradise and destroyed many civilizations after due to sin. God considered even not "understanding" a sin. But god did not "understand" his own creations fully yet. God Allows Blood sacrifice at this time as well due to not being happy or not "understanding" his creations. New Testament God: (God "understands" and saves) A man of Nazareth devoted his life to connecting the true "understanding" between man and god. Knowing the true word of god aka "Understanding" 100% the meaning of the teachings and not the militarized version called religion, God was pleased and looked to Jesús a lot to help spread the understanding to his human creations. God considered Jesus weak because he did not kill human nor animal. Jesus never sacrificed an animal whilst talking with god as the people around him and people before him always have because god encouraged it. It seems this man "understands" God more than the men who sacrifice and this pleased God. When Jesús was being crucified he did not ever wish death upon his captors or even asked God to release him. He looked at the sky and said the most important thing that a man has ever said to god. Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. In this moment God finally "understood" his human creations mind. Also realized that Jesus wasn't weak after all. He was in fact the strongest of them all. He did not sacrifice hundreds of sheep like the others. He sacrificed himself. Jesú
After that, God "understood and started to save more of his creations. Does not accept blood sacrifice anymore because he gave Jesús a reward when he died and Jesus asked for no more blood sacrifices as his reward and God was even amazed by his contribution to the human race and granted him his reward.
So i agree with Christopher. Religion is bad. Religion is the militarized version of gods true word.
One of the best things on UA-cam.. and the whole internet
What a blasphemous comedian.
This never gets old 😭😭😭😭😭😭
You think there was an Abraham and Isaac dinosaur and dinosaur Abraham wouldnt kill dinosaur Isaac so God threw an asteroid at them and this is just something he does every so often to different species thats all the purpose of life is
It really is a shame that a lot of your videos got taken down or put into private status. They were really good. I especially loved the one about the lady having problems getting over her fear of hell, it was empathetic and honest.
Hilarious but not saying Gods name in vain wasn’t talking about Jesus Christ. Commandments were given before he was around.
If you are still thinking about a guy in a cloud, that was never realistic it was a metaphor. There is us existing rather than the most sane notion of nothing. Its much easier to have nothing than the anomaly that we are. Stop thinking about god as santa. Its truly the most fundamental element of your cells and atoms. Thats what god is. If you don’t believe in god you really haven’t thought hard enough about it. You even seeing an outside thing is fucking impossible. Ask an engineer how he could create us.
It actually makes a huge amount of sense that God would have borderline personality disorder.
The rape part aged like milk because Louis seems to have taken advantage of the fact that rape isn't in the 10 commandments😂
Rape? Are you claiming that he rape someone?
@@BigNews2021 we have Google for questions like this sir look it up. It's unfortunate because I like Louis CK but he did what he did why do you think he's not on the scene anymore?
@@Lazaven - I did. I don't see anywhere where he raped someone.
@@YeahNoDoNotCare tomato, tomoto
@@Lazaven wth is a "tomoto"? LOL. And no, it's not _"tomayto, tomahto"_ as the idiom goes. Not even close.
Come back, 43alley!
This channel is for bitter losers. Look at your godless society in 2023. Enjoy. It's gonna get worse and you will still die and burn in the heart of the earth. That will not change. America will die soon and you will be serving China like slaves. You will own nothing and starve to death. Miserable haters. PS You suck at drawing.
have sex
LOL, funny thing is that you're the one who sound bitter.

This is better than any religious books! 😆 Also, I wish Eddie Izzard was god! 😎
Still a classic my friend. Thank you.
Please make more content.
Is immoral treat the christian religion by Catholic Church, a lot of theology student consider that church the animal that comes from sea in Revelation chapter 13
Si Ustedes Supieran Lo Lindo, Noble, Respetuoso Y Misericordioso Que Dios Padré Celestial Omnipotente De Creación- Encarnado Aqui Y Llamado Jesús Fue En Vida Cuando Estubo Aqui , Ni Tan Siquiera Lo Hubieran Puesto En Este Video Para Que La Personas Se Rian, Aunque No Sea Para Nada Malo! Bendiciones 😇😇😇
The dumbest video I ever watched, congratulations.
another channel has a collection of alley videos, sadly not all, but 18, mostly the "atheist read bible stories", and some of the eddie izzard skits and the "why I left religion" ua-cam.com/video/xDymRVP97j8/v-deo.html anyone know why so many of his videos have disappeared?
Thanks for sharing!
I like cake
It's a funny bit, but "no civilization without religion" is insanely dumb/irrational.
I think it's OK to use religion to make psychopaths feel guilty about not feeling guilty. But yeah. I agree. The problem with religion is that it was hijacked by psychopaths to make normal people feel guilty for things that are natural. Of course they always ask for money. Hey did you pay your tithing? Shame on you for not giving "God" his money.
Christianity is the only reason Europe was able to rebuild itself after the fall of Rome and Zoroastrianism's sanitation practices prevented plague break outs. To act like religion contributed nothing to civilization is just ignorance.
Brilliant. Well done!
Can’t believe I’ve nvr seen this animated stuff. Man Luis you gotta push this shit. It’s amazing like Jesus Christ man
And he created Hitler and he saw that it was good. 😆
You know I thought this might be one of those stupid things people put on UA-cam but this was funny and quite refreshing
So on the last note be careful don't eat that shellfish cuz you'll burn in hell forever even though the invisible Man up there and another dimension loves you. Yes I stole that last one from all what was his name George Carlin or Carlisle
Yeah you were born on your dictated factor that rules by fear and punishment if you don't do exactly what they want you to that's communism.
Not the fact that and are not the fact and the fact that there's morally wrong for somebody to be punished and beaten and murdered for something that they did not do to resolve someone else's immoral evil but Christianity it literally States thou shalt not murder a lot of people say kill because some Bibles that said that but it's actually used thou shalt not murder because if you're protecting yourself from somebody that's trying to murder you and you kill them that's not murder that's self protection they forced you to end their life to save your own justifiably of people some people are like oh it's not right well of course it is do you think that life gave you life or whatever you think gave you life gave you life just so you could be murdered by somebody else does that make any sense at all or any purpose or any point to creating something and having it living or even if it's just naturally sprouted and came to life it's purpose is to live and I would dare say to try and live life to its fullest because we have very little time now if we lived forever we would have no real meaning of why we're alive in the first place because it takes the fact that we're alive out of the equation
Well where did we get these morals from if it wasn't for faith? My question would be where did the morals come from to begin with because the more values obviously were there before Faith came into the picture moral values come from what you experience and the emotion that it brings that makes you sad or happy see morals people think are just things we got morality if that's bad you shouldn't be doing it that's morality that's all always something what they say but makes you happy that's awesome morality and if it makes you happy it's not going to make everybody happy but it will make other people happy too so making people happy is also a part of morality that's never told to anybody when it should be it's never brought up about the good side of morality that's all the good side of morality is not murdering someone well yeah that's that's a good moral value and idea to have but having a good moral value making someone happier in their life with your moral value views or how you treat them like do on to others have you would have done unto you since we're talking Christianity here that is a more immoral ethical idea that created the value of if you don't want it to be done to you you shouldn't be doing it to others that's obviously common sense do you do things to other people that you don't want well I shouldn't ask that cuz most of these sapiens running around on the planet do they don't care it happens to them and they don't even care why is that because well quite frankly I can't tell you except that if the epitome of evil was founded today on who or what or the definition of pure chaotic evil is it would be us the genius homo species that is sapien I can't speak about the other races before us that were of the genus homo species like Neanderthal or erectus or any of the other one other ones there are just off top of my head not all together I do think so you know that's exactly what the ancient Sumerians said that they had that they went back in genetically made humans nine different times it said I wonder how they knew that they couldn't nobody could possibly know that how many would happen specially years centuries decades after they're dead there's no possible way you can know that unless it actually happened how would they know about genetically altering first place let alone being able to incubate the baby with a surrogate mother this all kinds of stuff that simply cannot be explained when it comes to the cradle of civilization in the ancient Samaritans.
Some people still believe that the Earth is flat and that they can somehow if they focus hard enough that they can all the sudden start moving things with their minds or cast some magical fireball.
Religions are funny as hell
hey 43alley. I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to make these video almost a decade ago. I still come back and rewatch them at least once a year.
When @Louis CK lies dying on his deathbed, he will remember this.
God is the WORST
He died 6 years before I was cognizant of the fact that I have never perceived a deity or a logical reason to accept a supernatural claim. I know nothing about him beyond the fact that he's apparently a famous writer. I don't care to read any of his books, but it's good to know that someone perceived the claims made and stories told about deities in a manner very similar to my own perceptions of such claims and stories. In 38 years of trying relentlessly and constantly failing to make logical sense of religion, I am yet to hear of a way to say things like "God is good" or "God is love" without reversing the definitions of the words "good" and "love". Calling a deity good is calling good evil. Calling a deity or the worshipper of a deity loving is calling hatred loving. Moral, loving, trustworthy people and people who are safe to be around simply lack the ability to call a deity moral, loving, trustworthy, or in any context good.
where are you now 43alley?
The commandment in Hebrew actually says, "You shall not make the Name of your Elohim [your God] of no significance" - The Almighty Father's Name is YeHoVaH, and His Son is named Yeshua Messiah. The catholic church was EXTREMELY successful in making the Name of The Almighty and of The Messiah of "No Significance" - "COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE!" - Jeremiah 51: 45 and Revelation 18: 4
God is busy stopping the work of our adversary, the sinner, who masquerades charismatically as an agent of light and a genius, but is false and lowly. God is sympathetic to matters in life for all people, whether your opinion or someone else's. Consider notions greater than your own self and your aimless mortal wants.
Any idea what happened to this guy? We all die but you could let us know about it dcik. Hope your brain fired long enough to confirm to self your disbelief.
Why you chang
Hi, Alley. I just wanted to echo some sentiment about some of your videos no longer being available. I remember them being very influential in my personal journey. They offered valuable perspectives for people in similar shoes. I hope you will consider restoring them or allowing us to access them elsewhere. Hope all is well for you.
