​ @MattPowellOFFICIAL Interviews Former @TheRagingAtheistNok | Brett Keane Talks · Brett Keane and Eve Show

• 0:30
  Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Brett keen, and you
• 0:32
  are watching and listening to the Brett King show.
• 0:36
  Hold on a second. Let me fix this picture here.
• 0:39
  I don't know why it's like that for.
• 0:43
  Let's go ahead and move that over there like that.
• 0:47
  There we go. Cool.
• 0:50
  Alright, so recently, Matt, pal Christian did the interview with
• 0:57
  knock, who is the former Raging atheist.
• 1:02
  And I got to be honest with you, I've always liked these two.
• 1:07
  God could tell you that I've had some disagreements with both of
• 1:10
  them. Whatever it comes to madpal,
• 1:13
  though, a majority of what he's talked about and what he's
• 1:16
  preached. I've agreed with the Marne.
• 1:18
  There's no reason why we should get him to pass it.
• 1:21
  Specifics about the very few things that Matt pal has said,
• 1:25
  that I've have had issue with unfortunately, I made them.
• 1:29
  Mistake of thinking that because we were good friends and because
• 1:34
  I loved admired respected him that it was going to be okay to
• 1:39
  not agree with everything Matt said.
• 1:42
  I don't even know if me and Matt Powell according to him from his
• 1:45
  reference point, if we're even friends anymore, but I still
• 1:49
  watch his videos, I still love what.
• 1:51
  He's got, I've learned over the 20 years of being on YouTube
• 1:55
  that simply disagreeing with some Christian friends or
• 1:59
  atheist friends. Can cause you to be very lonely,
• 2:01
  very quick. Are the other that?
• 2:06
  So, luckily, I've grown thick skin and I've learned how to be
• 2:13
  able to deal with what they call fair weather friends.
• 2:17
  But I still love him, I still care about him and I still think
• 2:20
  that his message is good and I still think that he's he's doing
• 2:25
  a great job, not only as a preacher, but as a man of God.
• 2:30
  And also as a father and husband and all these different things.
• 2:34
  He's been through a lot of lot of work, and a lot of things
• 2:39
  throughout his life. And then there's former raging
• 2:43
  atheists who's no longer an atheist.
• 2:46
  Even when raging atheist was a raging atheist, I liked him, I
• 2:52
  dug him. One of the things I noticed
• 2:55
  about Ronnie. Other people might not be able
• 2:59
  to fool. We appreciate what I'm talking
• 3:02
  about whenever I say this, but there were many times where I
• 3:07
  would come to Ronnies live shows or his chat and I heard atheist.
• 3:15
  Tell him don't talk to Brett. King, Brett Kings, a piece of
• 3:18
  shit, right. Kings a liar, but Kings of fake
• 3:21
  Christian. Brett Keen only became a
• 3:24
  Christian because Christians pay him a lot of money, which is
• 3:28
  obviously untrue. Anyone that Ever checks out my
• 3:30
  patreon are, looks at the mini images.
• 3:33
  I put of my PayPal. The balance can see that I get
• 3:38
  paid, maybe five bucks every once in a while, and that could
• 3:41
  be a five six month period before I even see enough money
• 3:46
  to buy me a Snicker bars. Now, I don't do too bad, aren't
• 3:49
  selling T-shirts, and I also do advertisements and sponsor
• 3:54
  people on my radio. But as far as YouTube goes, I
• 3:57
  don't get dick and I don't even Who the people are that are
• 4:01
  sponsoring me on the radio. All's I know, is I go through
• 4:04
  international radio, I'm heard all over the world and I don't
• 4:09
  know if it's Christians or atheist, but I can tell you
• 4:12
  this, the lot of the people who support me are not Christian
• 4:16
  whatsoever. Like, for instance, well,
• 4:18
  Kincaid, he pays me money on patreon and he doesn't ask me
• 4:23
  for anything. He doesn't ask me for favors or
• 4:26
  anything like that. He and I have Been friendly with
• 4:31
  each other for years and he never liked offered something at
• 4:35
  that point or whatever. I'm just being honest with you.
• 4:38
  Ladies and gentlemen, it hasn't been a big budget thing.
• 4:41
  I'm not like sitting down in the basement, receiving paychecks
• 4:45
  from the pope. But the point is is that when
• 4:49
  Ronnie even though people dissed me and they talk trash to me,
• 4:54
  Ronnie always had this moral thing about him, he would say,
• 4:59
  well, I don't No, the guy in the guys never done nothing wrong to
• 5:03
  me. I'm going to give him a chance.
• 5:05
  I'm going to give him a shot. I'd like to be able to actually
• 5:08
  talk with them and if he is a liar if he is dishonest then
• 5:13
  that will simply be exposed. See Ronnie.
• 5:17
  It didn't matter to him who he was talking to Ronnies interest
• 5:21
  was having intellectual discussions.
• 5:23
  He wanted to have conversations with people and he didn't
• 5:26
  condemn or judge people based upon other people's Onion.
• 5:30
  He was one of those type of guys that was liver.
• 5:33
  Let Die kind of attitude. His personality was, I don't
• 5:37
  judge a book by it's cover, you know, I'll give anybody an
• 5:41
  opportunity any chance and to me, that was very adult-like.
• 5:46
  I've always thought whenever I see non-believers talking like
• 5:49
  that, like, don't talk to that crush and I don't talk to that
• 5:52
  religious person because their religious therefore they're
• 5:57
  stupid or they're dumb where they're not worth your time.
• 5:59
  I'm see being a Christian, I believe that everybody is worth
• 6:04
  my time. I believe that everybody
• 6:07
  deserves a chance, or an opportunity, I believe in
• 6:11
  redemption and forgiveness. I also do not believe that I've
• 6:15
  done anything that would warrant.
• 6:17
  People disrespecting me, or talk to me like that.
• 6:20
  Just simply because I believe in God and try to do things the god
• 6:25
  way. All right, this way it is but
• 6:29
  I'm also self-aware enough to realize it.
• 6:32
  Some atheists don't just dislike me because I believe in God,
• 6:37
  they dislike me because I didn't do things for them or I didn't
• 6:41
  commit to favors that they wanted.
• 6:45
  Like, for instance, I've had a lot of non-believers asked me to
• 6:48
  Mere their videos or share their stuff.
• 6:51
  And whenever I had a lot of subscribers, they thought they
• 6:54
  were going to benefit all for that.
• 6:56
  But due to their videos, being too controversial or even
• 7:01
  stepping over the edge of racism or oppression, I decided that
• 7:05
  that wasn't something that I felt would benefit my audience
• 7:09
  or myself to share their bullshit.
• 7:12
  If that makes sense. Well, now that we've gotten that
• 7:18
  personal stuff out of the way, I do want to say that I'm really
• 7:21
  proud of Ronnie, I will put this out there.
• 7:26
  I always knew that Ronnie was on a road to truth.
• 7:33
  I always knew that there was something there with him.
• 7:38
  A lot of these atheists out there that he admits that he was
• 7:41
  influenced by, they do this. Not because they're looking for
• 7:46
  If but because they're looking to get paid and by the fact that
• 7:49
  they mentioned subscribers and how many views you get all the
• 7:53
  time shows me that this is about narcissism and feeding their
• 7:58
  egos and looking smart and playing games with other people.
• 8:04
  If you're the type of person who thinks that someone isn't worth
• 8:08
  listening to are watching because they're not popular, or
• 8:12
  because they don't have thousands of subscribers to
• 8:14
  their name or because cuz they're a part of a certain
• 8:17
  religion or a certain group, then you my friend are a
• 8:21
  childish, want And it's funny because a lot of the people who
• 8:26
  think this way are not popular themselves, a lot of these
• 8:30
  people don't have one subscriber to their name, probably less
• 8:34
  than five and they're the same people who are constantly
• 8:38
  bragging about how irrelevant you are, even if you've got
• 8:43
  thousands of subs and they don't.
• 8:46
  So not only do they insult you, but they lie to themselves and
• 8:50
  live in their own stew. And delusion, it's weird like
• 8:53
  that But like I said, I always knew Ronnie had a road.
• 9:00
  I didn't know if it was going to lead to Christianity.
• 9:02
  I didn't know if it was going to lead to Jesus Christ, but I knew
• 9:05
  that it was for him. He wanted to know the truth, he
• 9:10
  fought for it. He fought for it.
• 9:12
  And I think that that's the big difference between some non
• 9:15
  believers who claim they tried. And then non-believer who
• 9:19
  actually is trying. There's a lot of people out
• 9:22
  there who have these testimonies where they say, but I prayed and
• 9:25
  I tried this and I used to even be a Christian But then when you
• 9:30
  talk to them about the Bible, they don't know anything about
• 9:33
  it. They don't know anything about
• 9:35
  the history of it. They know nothing of it, yet
• 9:38
  they claim to be a Christian. I can tell you right now from my
• 9:42
  own personal observation and experience that.
• 9:45
  A lot of people that I've met who claim to be Christians and
• 9:48
  even some who claim to be preachers, wouldn't know where
• 9:53
  to start. If you were to get into a
• 9:54
  discussion having to do with the Bible, Some of them have never
• 10:00
  even read the Bible. I was literally on a church
• 10:03
  phone call talking to a preacher.
• 10:05
  And I said, I know this might be an unusual question for you
• 10:08
  because you've been a preacher for a long time.
• 10:10
  But have you ever actually read the Bible cover to cover?
• 10:14
  And the preacher says, what we talked about the Bible all the
• 10:17
  time and I said, obviously you're a preacher, but have you
• 10:20
  actually read it? Remember, Thou shalt not bear
• 10:24
  false witness and the preacher actually admitted.
• 10:27
  He never Read Genesis to Revelation from beginning to
• 10:31
  end. There were times where I asked
• 10:34
  preachers, what is the second book in the Bible?
• 10:37
  That is so easy but Exodus and some preachers they couldn't
• 10:43
  remember that right off the top of their head.
• 10:45
  It wasn't like I was asking them what the 20th book was or the
• 10:49
  fifth book. I was asking them the very
• 10:51
  second book after Genesis and they could not get it.
• 10:58
  I've played video games with Ronnie.
• 11:01
  I've talked to him, I was introduced to him by watching
• 11:06
  his discussion between Matt Powell and him all throughout
• 11:11
  time. All throughout their
• 11:14
  interactions through their disagreements, through their
• 11:16
  agreements. And the only thing I could think
• 11:19
  of in my head, as I'd really like to get to know this Ronnie
• 11:22
  guy, I'd like to be able to have conversations with them.
• 11:26
  And as I watched his videos at first, I'll be honest with you,
• 11:30
  it was about why Does he have issue with God for?
• 11:33
  Why does he have issue with religion?
• 11:35
  And I started discovering that he had, a lot of personal
• 11:38
  issues, he had a lot of family members who in a way disrespect
• 11:42
  and him, it's like they wouldn't give him the the Kudos that he
• 11:47
  had earned or that he deserved. No.
• 11:51
  The love wasn't there. Like, it should be.
• 11:56
  I also discovered that the man was going through, a lot of
• 11:59
  health issues that he's going through a lot of pain.
• 12:02
  And I know for a fact, having health issues myself that
• 12:05
  whenever you're suffering whenever you're hurting and when
• 12:09
  you discover that, the very doctors and science itself is
• 12:12
  not able to resolve some of your problems that you just going to
• 12:16
  lay there in your own stew. You don't know if you're going
• 12:18
  to be able to walk, you know, know if your backs going to give
• 12:21
  out, you don't know if you're just going to sit there and rot
• 12:24
  away. These kind of things really get
• 12:27
  to you and they make you question everything.
• 12:30
  It also will make you bitter towards the concept of God.
• 12:34
  When my health issues first started, it was while I was
• 12:38
  getting into atheism, and it made me angry.
• 12:41
  It made me pissed. I said, if there is a God, then
• 12:44
  why would God let me suffer? And on top of that, why would
• 12:47
  God let people? I love and care about suffer.
• 12:51
  See. It starts a big garage like a
• 12:53
  snowball effect. The ball Starts rolling down the
• 12:56
  hill and picking up More Steam and more more snow and it
• 13:00
  becomes heavier stronger and nastier.
• 13:03
  But unfortunately, the direction that it goes the simply is at
• 13:08
  some point in time, it's going to crash, it's going to fail.
• 13:12
  It's going to run into things that you may not have wanted to
• 13:16
  happen. In fact, your Snowball Effect
• 13:19
  might run into people that you love and care about and run them
• 13:23
  right over. And then where you going to be,
• 13:26
  what are you going to do? I think, I don't know if Ronnie
• 13:32
  agrees with this, who are not. I don't know if he even knows
• 13:35
  enough about me to even be able to make this assessment.
• 13:38
  But I feel like he and I have a lot of in common, you know,
• 13:44
  tried for years, looking for the truth, finding out was right?
• 13:48
  The difference between me and Ronnie is it took me many, many
• 13:51
  more years before I finally surrendered my soul over to a
• 13:55
  higher power when I finally accepted that, There's more to
• 13:59
  the universe than meets the eye. Unfortunately, Ronnie.
• 14:04
  And I have also went through the same negative experience, where
• 14:07
  we informed our audience, we told our audience, this is where
• 14:11
  we're at in life. This is what's happening and
• 14:14
  although it appeared at the moment that some people were
• 14:17
  supportive, and still cared about us and still want to be
• 14:20
  our friends. There were many people who
• 14:23
  basically told us to go screw ourselves that we just our trash
• 14:28
  now. And that's that really can make
• 14:31
  a person like Ronnie or myself better.
• 14:33
  I know that that made me better for a long time because I truly
• 14:37
  love these people and I know that Ronnie loves his audience,
• 14:42
  I know that one of the things that he lives for is being able
• 14:45
  to get on a live video and talk to people that he thinks is his
• 14:49
  friends. And when you find out that these
• 14:52
  people were never your friends, that they were just using your
• 14:56
  live Channel. As a way to be able to spit on
• 14:59
  God or religion. And now, all of a sudden you're
• 15:02
  associated with it, you automatically become the Enemy.
• 15:06
  No matter what you say, no matter how much love you, give,
• 15:09
  no matter how much logic or rationality do you that, you
• 15:13
  give our, why it is that you've changed?
• 15:15
  Positions are accepted the position that you're in.
• 15:20
  Well, some people, no matter what you say, no matter what you
• 15:24
  do, you just can't fit in. And popularity well get out of
• 15:32
  here, some people watch other YouTubers simply because they
• 15:36
  are atheist. Some people watch other
• 15:39
  YouTubers simply because they do spit on God.
• 15:43
  And when that tradition goes away, their form of
• 15:47
  entertainment, then you go away to and Ronnie at this point is
• 15:52
  experience and not little by little my assault.
• 15:57
  From The Atheist Community was a lot more intense, it was more
• 16:01
  hardcore. I'm not saying that Ronnie
• 16:04
  wasn't an exceptional atheist or something like that, but a lot
• 16:09
  of atheists looked at me as a mouthpiece.
• 16:12
  They looked up to me, they even had names for me like the
• 16:16
  god-killer, so it was devastating for them.
• 16:19
  Whenever I walk atheists, do not like to believe that.
• 16:24
  It's possible that someone can find God.
• 16:27
  They like You convinced himself that once you're an atheist, it
• 16:31
  would be a form of retardation for you to change your views,
• 16:35
  especially if you are a big mouth like me and Ronnie where
• 16:38
  you talked, a lot of a lot of trash towards God or religion
• 16:42
  and then you turned around and said maybe there's something to
• 16:46
  it. Maybe there's some point to it.
• 16:51
  It couldn't be possible that people grow up though, right?
• 16:56
  We couldn't be argued. That sometimes when you're a
• 16:59
  young person you got a lot of stupid thoughts in your head.
• 17:02
  You got a lot of anger and you're trying to figure yourself
• 17:05
  out in life. You trying to learn how to be a
• 17:08
  good, father, a good, man. You trying to be good to your
• 17:11
  family. It couldn't be that you started
• 17:15
  learning more, as you got older and a lot of things started
• 17:19
  making sense to you. That didn't make sense before.
• 17:21
  Now that can't be argued because young people, especially young
• 17:26
  atheist, they don't understand that they don't comprehend that
• 17:28
  concept but it happened she get older, you go through changes.
• 17:34
  You go through what they call spiritual and psychological
• 17:38
  Evolution baby things. Start sparking the light bulb
• 17:47
  starts getting brighter. I'm very proud of Matt Powell
• 17:55
  and Ronnie. I'm proud of Ronnie because
• 18:00
  Ronnie deep down inside knows that coming out and doing this
• 18:05
  is going to break a lot of people's heart, but for him,
• 18:09
  Ronnie's going to always do what he thinks is the right thing to
• 18:12
  do. I'm sure that Ronnie spent hours
• 18:17
  and hours, perhaps weeks months considering what he was doing,
• 18:22
  and the choices that he was making, this wasn't something he
• 18:25
  just did on a whim, and he didn't do it for some Financial
• 18:28
  benefit. And how do I know that?
• 18:31
  Because he did the same damn thing I did.
• 18:34
  I had thousands of videos this and on religion and God and I
• 18:38
  removed every single one of them after making a promise to God
• 18:43
  that I'm going or God here on out.
• 18:46
  And all my atheists of atheism, garbage is gone and whenever he
• 18:51
  discovered or came to the View that God is real, that there is
• 18:57
  something going on. He didn't feel the desire to
• 19:00
  keep up, all that work and all that time.
• 19:03
  All those videos, all that years worth of content, he removed it
• 19:09
  and said it's time for a change. It's time for Ronnie to be.
• 19:15
  What Ronnie was meant to be? To me, ladies and gentlemen,
• 19:20
  that takes courage. It takes courage.
• 19:24
  There's a lot of people out there.
• 19:27
  That will never accept God because accepting God means they
• 19:31
  lose their paycheck from atheist.
• 19:34
  They lose the audience that they once had And that's hard and
• 19:40
  besides that you also Lose Friends, you lose popularity and
• 19:45
  sometimes like myself you have to start all over again and you
• 19:50
  have to find people who love you for who you are.
• 19:54
  And nothing else. But you know, I've always said
• 19:56
  and I hope Ronnie takes us to Heart.
• 19:59
  I'd rather be hated for who I am the love for something.
• 20:05
  I'm not that's my philosophy. I'd rather someone have sincere
• 20:11
  feelings about who I truly am. Then to be accepting me for
• 20:15
  something. I'm totally not Well, Matt
• 20:23
  Powell, I hope that you and the family does.
• 20:25
  Well and I hope that the health is good.
• 20:28
  I miss our conversations. I do but I'm going to respect
• 20:33
  your space. Ronnie, I respect you and I
• 20:37
  appreciate where you've come and I always enjoy watching your
• 20:41
  life stuff. I always enjoy hearing what you
• 20:47
  have to say. I know it's going to be weird
• 20:51
  changing from this to that and being able to talk about other
• 20:55
  topics and you'll most likely find yourself in the same
• 20:59
  position as I did. Where I was kind of a hybrid
• 21:03
  between atheism and theism where I still from time to time, found
• 21:06
  myself getting critical, God and God's people, but I grew and I
• 21:12
  matured and I was able to become more open-minded and learn more.
• 21:17
  As I went along. It was really interesting for me
• 21:20
  to Ronnie because I started making friends with people.
• 21:24
  I never thought I'd be friends with.
• 21:27
  I started hanging out with people that I never thought that
• 21:29
  I would ever do, but I also lost a lot of people.
• 21:34
  I never thought I would ever lose.
• 21:37
  It's weird how that works. My mother used to tell me that,
• 21:40
  whenever you're at the bottom of the barrel, whenever things seem
• 21:44
  like it's impossible, and it doesn't seem like there's a
• 21:48
  doorway, You're an escape and site, that's when you'll truly
• 21:52
  know who your friends are. That's who and when you'll find
• 21:56
  out who loves you, And Ronnie Matt, I love you both.
• 22:07
  Mistakes flaws are not love you both.
