Without having watched the video, I would suggest one thing: go through the Bible and see how God is described by the people who knew Him best.

If you need a key to start your search, use, "slow to anger and abounding in love".

God is described like as to a King.. A benevolent King. But He is a King that can also be a loving Father if one is willing to become His adopted children in Christ..

"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."
1J 4:16

God is unlimited "dictator", because He created and rules everything. But he is a good dictator, full of love towards His creation.

Atheists understand nothing and their hatred towards God and Christianity will manipulate you.

Every single person will stand before God to give an account of how they lived the life He gave them, you won't be able to blame the atheists or anybody else for anything. God has given you intelligence and He wants to help you use it.

God will strengthen your faith and reveal the absolute truth to you if you humble yourself and ask Him to reveal His will for your life. He is waiting for you to come before Him in prayer and ask Him to give you the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth about everything to you.

He commanded us to ask and we shall receive, knock and it will be opened. We can't sit back and wait for Him to come to us, we must go to Him and He will receive us as His own children.

if someone believes the best way to explain spirituality is by making a cartoon about it, i would re think the video and the teacher.

Some people are quick to say that God is a war monger, especially in the Old Testament, and a dictator telling us how we are supposed to behave, and follow Him.

But that is because they do not want to accept the truth anyway, and people opposing other views will mock, and sometimes without having any proof, or logical reasoning, because that is how much they want to go against it.

If a person claiming Christ is hypocritical they cry hypocrite, but if they actually act like Christ then they are a holy roller, or some other name to even be derogatory toward that.

God said to avoid foolish and unlearned questions, and many of them do not know the Bible, but want to debate it.

Like the saints saying God is omnipotent, but the atheists say concerning scripture that states God could not overthrow certain people because they have much chariots, a big army.

And they cry, see God is not all powerful for He could not overthrow them.

But God said that if the Jews feared the people of Canaan because they have much chariots, a big army, and look unbeatable compared to the Jews He would not give them a victory over them because they did not have faith, and the Jews feared them, so God did not overthrow them for the Jews.

So the atheist jumps to a conclusion without knowing the Bible, and what it states, but wants to rattle off something that is not true.

And why would the atheist even say something like that anyway, for they know according to the Bible God created all things, assembling physical matter in to objects, and they at least know that concerning what the saints believe, and what the Bible says, and that God parted the Red Sea, so an army of men would be child's play for God to overthrow no matter how big.

But the atheist does not care, and neither does anybody else when it comes to what they believe when they oppose people of different beliefs, and we see them all the time clutching at straws, saying practically anything, even if it is silly to support their belief.

The truth of God, and man is a war monger, not God, and He has never been a war monger, or a dictator, for if God were a dictator everybody would be on their knees right now with no choice but to be on their knees bowing, and reverencing, and worshipping, and praising, their little butts off with sweat dripping down their face, even in 10 degrees weather.

But they have the choice to be rich, and great material things, prestige among people, living the good life, being mean towards other people, and then say God is a dictator when they do all those things, and get away with it.

King David messed up, God gave Him a punishment, either Him going against them, or people, and David said let the LORD punish us, for it will not be as worse as man going against us.

God is not cruel, but people are cruel.

God left people alone, and said concerning their idolatrous ways in the Old Testament He winked at it, and even blessed Babylon to be a great kingdom until they blew it and lost the revelation of God.

God puts down a 1000 to save 10,000.

God had to protect Israel for if He did not then she would of been wiped out, or distorted so much from the truth that Jesus could not come through the nation of Israel to give spiritual salvation, which God would fight for Israel.

If a kingdom became too cruel towards people, and perverting God's ways, He would allow them to be taken down by another kingdom.

If God did not intervene in the Old Testament more people would of been hurt physically, and deceived from the truth, and Israel would of been history, and then where is salvation.

God is not cruel, man is cruel.

In the New Testament since spiritual salvation has come by Jesus, God said all wars come from people, the lusts of their flesh, which the truth of the matter is even in the Old Testament wars came from people, but God had to protect Israel.

People protect their nation from their enemies, but if God protects His nation Israel they want to cry about it, but we know many people do not care about truth, or logical reasoning, when it comes to opposing what they do not like.

It is strange how people can run around on this earth behaving like they do plotting an overthrow here, and planning a take over there, and contemplating a wipe out over yonder, and scheming a taking over of a nation or two, and concocting a coup against a government, and manipulating, and masterminding, and brainstorming, all for the purpose of power.

And then talk about God being a war monger, and dictator, so what is people's excuse, and why should we follow them, when they put themselves in the stead of God, and then talk about God who is not doing what they say He does.

Look at all the wars that people have been involved in, and they say God is a war monger when He was only protecting little ole' Israel.

People can avenge their people, but God cannot avenge His people.

Look at all the saints that have been persecuted by the heathen and they talk about God, and not only that but God allowed it to happen or they would of not been persecuted.

The beast kingdom will try to take away everybody that opposes their kingdom, and want them off the earth pronto with cruelty, and hatred, and then say God is a war monger.

Everything God does is for the betterment of people, and people war, and oppose, to exalt themselves.

People war, and rape, and kill, and destroy, and belittle, and exalt themselves above each other, and they want to say God is a war monger, but where does that leave people who are doing for the wrong purpose according to the goodness of God, and how come they are not labeled as bad, but then want to give God a bad rap.

They say God is a war monger all the while people war, and have been warring like a big dog, when God only did it concerning Israel, and allowed it concerning the nations to put down the arrogant, for the betterment of mankind, and people do it to exalt themselves.

And they say God is a dictator, but look at leaders that have been dictators, and everybody has to follow someone, for nobody is a lone wolf, in which they say Christians do not think for themselves, all the while they themselves are following the teachings, and persons of other people.

They talk bad about God all the while mankind is going around warring, and exalting themselves, for their own pleasure.

The beast will be a war monger, and blaspheme against God, and be a dictator, and demand worship, and people do not find that odd, but then talk about God.

So it all boils down to they do not believe there is a God so they will say anything, even if it is silly, to go against it, even if it is not logical, to go against it.

Come on people of the world, bad mouth God, and look at you and the way you have acted for thousands of years.

I do not understand where they think nothing is wrong with people, and their warring, dictator ways.

Hey buddy long time no talk lol. To be honest I can understand where this Atheist is coming from. Before I was saved I kind of thought God seemed self conceited, the whole either you love me or you go to hell bit kind of seemed like a dictator to me. I mean the whole idea of our eternal position based on whether or not we gave our undeniable love and commitment to him seemed like love was based entirely on ink and paper. Like we have the choice to love him or not but the consequences of the choice was either do or die kind of thing.

I was taught or at least told from an early age that it isn't enough to be a good person you still go to hell but now that I have gotten to know him more personally I think he makes exceptions in some cases it's not black and white like people think.
