Annoying video "proving" God's majesty

That was annoying, I don't know why I watched that... I knew where it was going at the very beginning, why did I keep watching?
I don't know whats "annoying" about it, its just silly. You know they're running out of good ideas when a story, that could just as easily be false, and if true the events could just as easily be a coincidence or a biased, "hyped up" version of events is used as proof for the unquestionable existance of not just any God, but the Christian God and thus the Christian bible/religion...
Basically the only response I can think of is to hand them a bunch of crayons and paper and tell them to amuse themselves while the those of us with a brain try to fathom the mysteries of the cosmos.

any professor that would call somebody a fool in front of 299 other people should be summarily dismissed
while beliefs in bronze age myths are in my opinion foolish, they seem relatively harmless enough
you can chalk this up to just another in the growing legand of christian "instant convert" stories

I knew it was going to be another "glurge" story when it began. I thought surely the student would turn out to be Einstein (even though Einstein was Jewish, then an atheist and then a pantheist, somehow Einstein is always there in these stories to argue with the unnamed atheist professor).
The "You Fool" part was over the top, even by glurge standards.
Ummm, yeah, somehow I doubt that.
Silly story, without knowing anything else I am pretty sure this is either warped or made up, leaning towards the made up. AFAIK philosophy teachers don't spend their time proving god couldn't exist. Even for a philosopher it is an excersise that is beyond pointless.
Ummm, sorry, I've actually been to a school and THAT would be the real miracle.
boring... even VFX makes better video's then that.
guess that piece of chalk had a little bit of intelligent falling.
slipping out ones hand, getting caught in clothes which make the drop less hard... yeah, a real jaw-opener.
i think im gonna watch some more devilman anime from the 1972... atleast that has a story and goes somewhere.

Yeah, I've seen this vid floating around. I was pretty annoyed the first time I saw it. Not only does this person ASSUME that you are a Christian, it seems like this person was trying to put a guilt trip on those Christians that are pretty idle in their beliefs. Just another bullshit revival vid.
If you look up the original, the real maker doesn't even claim to know it's actually a true story. :lol: She just says to go with the message.
But you can always take the "stand up and be heard" message and run with it. That way when you stand up and ridicule them, you can just say "Well, Christians say to stand up and speak the truth. I'm just doing what you people said."

Love it. An unverified, most likely false story, riddled with idiocies (the biggest one being that the chalk slips out of his hand, falls down his clothes, then his shoe, and doesn't break when it still hits the floor)... I actually feel dumber for watching it.
BTW... anyone else notice that? The teacher's condition wasn't just that it wouldn't break, but that it wouldn't hit the floor. It still hit the floor. God still failed half-way. Let's pretend for a second that this story was true...
I think God didn't have anything to do with it. After having 20 years of not one single person standing up, someone finally did, and the shock of that threw the professor off his guard. He fumbled, the chalk slipped, et voila! No "god" was needed.
Now (still pretending this story is true) had the professor picked up the chalk and tried again, say, two more times, and both times the result was the same as the first one, I'd say there'd be cause for his reaction. But one time, and most likely because that student threw him off guard?
No. No God. Just a fumble.
As far as that kid preaching to a class of 299 kids on the last day of class for 30 minutes... bullshit. I seriously doubt the students would even give that professor the time to give his little demonstration. They'd run out of there:
"FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I haven't seen assumption at such a grandiose scale since Fox News went on the air. Dear nature was that mind numbing. I mean, are Christians imbued with self-hypocrisy? How is the kid any better than the professor by 'preaching' after he left for an hour? If he truly felt God changed the class room that way then all he had to do was nobly step out of the classroom without a word for it is all in 'Gods' hands now.
When will people also understand that what they're humoring isn't a God but the idea of Law of Attraction; that they could pray to a rock and it would still work. This is why our species has cultural quirks in terms of 'luck' items like rabbits foots and the like.

I agree . . . While I am an advocate of people having the choice to believe what they wish . . . Christians give me a head ache. It's all about telling everyone how wrong we are, and how right they are. Evangelising is one of the reason I'm not a Christian anymore.

And yet how can Islamo-Christianity not be evangelising religions. Off topic but the belief in Hell for the non-believers makes preaching the word an absolute necessity. How can anyone say "Hell is real but let people find their own way"?
