@IxxGODxxI read it carefully and see how we're trapped to beliefs from 2000 years ago? Galileo was called a heritic by the same people who supported that bible. Read it carefully? I guess we should continue to believe that the world is flat too?
Christopher Hitchens is one of the most intelligent people that have ever disputed the existence of God.
And in his life I understand that he wants no part of a loving god that kills people. And now while in his battle to disprove god Christopher is fighting for his life with cancer. I can't and won't debate Gods existence because I believe in god......but not a political god.....just an inter connectiveness of everything a single force of energy.....just like we need electricity ..
@mamoji76 so god gives everyone equal opportunities, yet babies are born with HIV into poverty stricken villages with no food or water. Others have large homes and wealthy parents. That's fucking equal.
@snote22 These horrific things you mention, these are man's creation, they are his fault. Whether God exists or not is not the point, we allow the world be that way. If God is a parent, we turned 18, and he said, "Be an adult now, cause it's your life."
Karl Marx once said religion is the opiate of the masses. I'm more inclined to believe it's the hallucinogen of the masses. It certainly has all the associated delusional behavior.
@imperator332 Man's desire to be right causes him to war, not the message itself. Man's own pride and prejudice rules over all else, even if he's claiming it's a fight backed by his belief.
I was at a bar triva thing recently where where teams had to pick serial killers and one team put down bushes name while it was not on the points list the entire bar clapped in agreement. I really liked that college town after that. The entire bar got permanent bonus points.
@Stranglepuff Any picture of Bush chills me to the bone. He heard god speak to him invaded a country for no reason all the while harming an entire country and making the usa look like terrorist(they where by def) while starting a new hatred that is rightfully gained by religious nut jobs willing and wanting to die for their religons all the while killing maiming and fucking upthe mind of his own troops that didnt agree with him. Yea Happy Veterans day to me. Helped fk up a country for no reason
what we call God loves EVERYBODY so in a deep way to give EVERYBODY the same opportunities, just to understand LOVE and freedom . Free to decide evil too.
As part of this magic reality we are responsible for all is going to happen.
So think good and act as a consequence of that principle if you like it, or play for shadows if you like...
Is too easy to give responsability to God or Goddes or whatever.
"God" supposedly looks out for those who believe in him, right?
Well, camp Kulmhof was used to use stationary gas vans for the killing of Jewish Americans, just because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Where was God? Shouldn't he have been watching out for them? Or could it be that he DOESN'T EXIST?!?
@screech519 god gave us free will. he does help us and if he came down here to help them then people would belive in him for the wrong reason god wants us to have failth thats y he doesnt show him self if that makes sense
@caboose016 so rather than believe in a deity that helps us, ( giving us a reason to actually like him), you expect us to believe in a deity that refuses to help man's suffering and love him for it?
@screech519 no god does it just so happens that we listen to those people higher then us think about it and im not being a duesh bag right now im trying to say my oppion with out being racist or anything like that
@screech519 i know u wernt wat i ment from that is like how everyone is sarcastic i was telling the im not being mean and see how u get all worked up from one word see im not gonna be like u and say something mean u r immature thats all im gonna say
I'm confused...are these people blaming God for their problems? Or are they not? And anyway, I bet God's sitting up there in Heaven saying "ME?? I didn't do this!! You did!" Poor guy.
@thegenius1011 - It's not blaming God for the problems of the world, but that God (being all knowing and all powerful) does absolutely nothing to intervene us from disease, war, famine and chaos.
Hopefully this makes sense to you - if you gathered those people in the United States who have committed all of these crimes, you would find that virtually ALL of them believe in religion, god, etc...
Also, care to comment on the amount of people who have died in this world due to religious disagreement?
Once upon a time there was a woman who never had sexual intercourse with a man. But then one day she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, because she had a magical vagina that was filled with enchantment and wonder.
@LittleBigMan81 Well, she had plenty of other children as well, and I don't think they were all that and a plate of flat bread. But yes, vaginas are filled with enchantment and wonder, per The Vagina Monologues.
People tend to point to suffering as proof there is no God. But history shows us time and time again that the greatest harm to this planet has come from humans, who will use any excuse to justify what they did. After all, humans wanted to be free from God, and in the USA, they can be. We chased religion (or at least Christianity) out of most public institutions. The USA has become some of the most violent, uncaring people in the planet. I find it hard to see it as mere coincidence.
Just because the existence of god is irrelevant for you does not make it so for anyone else. If that was the case then there was no religion as no one would care if there was a god.
Of course we need to hungry and the sick, however because of dogmatic thoughts that are part of every human being we do not do it.
The only thing you can do is instead of whining you can help others and set the example that others can follow. Blame yourself and no one else.
@NathanWubs yeah but then also why would people make up dragons and mithical beings? or is it just ALL a hoax. its a figure of beleef (i know i cant spell) that we all have, none being true.
Great Video.... and good to see we are developing a strong thinking community that is free from religous indoctrination..... now if we could instill that into the kids that are forced into church via their parents.
Dont care if their is a god or not most wars about god is more to the basic land money and power but in order to get what they want the few in control need to fool more to fight for they want so the use god in trhe end it is man that is evil we kill we dont feed we say its not are problem so otheres suffer dont blame a god or one who belive in one it all on us
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. ~ Seneca quotes (Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD)
@NathanWubs, I'm pretty sure the line is from Lucretius, and goes "All religions are equally sublime to the ignorant, useful to the politician, and ridiculous to the philosopher" But appropriate all the same.
Correct. The phrase "religion is the opiate of the masses" was meant in reference to it's ability to subdue as well as it's euphoria and addictive qualities.
@failblorg Are you implying that religion works? If so, try explaining that to victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Asian tidal waves, the Australian floods, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, the Great London Fire of 1666, the Black Plague, Hurricane Andrew...every wildfire, earthquake, mudslide and well, EVERY natural disaster in California ever....and the list goes on....then you might have some credibility. If you're NOT implying what I thought; then ignore everything I just said. :/
Life is a tough trip, no guided tour. This is a good video. too much shit has been blamed on or done in the name of god.
Deal with reality, help each other out and pay back that help when possible, pay it forward when not possible. Treat each other, and all animals, decently.
relgion fucking sucks god aint real scientificaly his a load of crap god deystroys people every day so fuck him lol he aint real we made him theres your answer santa claus aint real niether is easter bunny or god or the devil and marry aint no virgin get a clue
?.? hahaha dude i just made this cause i was bored i dnt believe in god its ok if u do im not saying enything im just saying i dont like pushy people yes i am immature but i am not stupid i get straight a's suck on that and buddy all twinkies come up with somthing a little more original please it wasnt a defense meany :P u suck lol u can right me back but if i was u i wouldnt!!!!!!
dylankrolick is very right just like santa clause and the easter bunny u have to be good to get presents and u have to be good to go to heaven u see the similarity there?????
Really? Richard Dawkins said the whole god thing might have started with the way kids have imaginary friends. Some people just never grow out of it. He talks about it in the book The God Delusion.
No it starts because by nature humans are curious about where they came from and because the first humans felt alone and wanted to feel comforted. But then one human realizes he can use religion for power and it evolves into what we have today.
The brain does an extraordinary amount of processing that's unreacheable by simple introspection.
Something as seemingly trivial as bipedal locomotion or being able to tell that your shadow is not a real object is a hard, very processing intense problem. Nearly everything we do is unconscious.
My hypothesis is that religious personify as god parts of their subconscious. Probably the part of the moral subsystems that allow us to judge our own behaviour from someone elses point of view.
this video is a little extreme, but it is catchy. i havn't totally given up on the possibility that there is some higher power, but it doesn't have to be "God" but whatev. i like the song
Andy Partridge was talking about the time when XTC was in Florida doing a radio interview. Some Christian fanaitc called and threatened to blow up the radio station with them in it if station were to ever play that song again. And this is a person of God-God condones violence? Such hypocrisy.
god is for relife,heavens so people have something to live for(false hope),hell is to keep people in line.simple as that.
"thou shalt kill"doesnt specify who not to kill so all hunters and solgers are sinners and EVERYONE (wether they admit or not)have commited the sin of lust so we are all sinners.also if adam and eve were the first two people then we are all inbreed.
this song is bullcrap, his emotional feelings get in the way of fidning truth. Honestly there is without question God exists, not really sure about a personal one but a deist God is without doubt existing, this man is horrible.
Without doubt? Be careful. You're beginning to sound like someone with proof, which you may be asked to present, and then you'll have to spout nonsensical bullshit that means nothing and you'll end up looking like a twat, especially if your proof is based on "emotional feelings". It's a minefield in this here comments section.
I don't have to give it, the information has changed the world as we know it a long time ago, except blind men liek you are too blinded by arrogance and bigotry that they overspeculated and did not find it. The world as we know it has been changed already, the information I know wasn't create dby me rather some of our greatest scientists like Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg, even James Clerk Maxwell, let me mention Einstein?
I want to clear up, Physics only moves toward the Pantheist God. Why? Because it shows how the universe works and create things by itself, showing nothing supernatural. That's the reason many physicians quote many pantheistic points of view, like Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, etc.
And Statistics is no evidence of God. Why? In the past, statistics showed that most of the people believe the world was flat. We know now that it isn't.
LOL! Watch Michio Kaku's videos, and how he shows how time can be broke. By the way, you and I didn't define time. The I was mentioning was the Machine time, which is created by men. Learn. It's in my favorites.
oh my God, I forgot to block you, now i'm doing it for sure. I'm not wasting time with uneducated morosn that think because they watch youtube videos they're inteligent. Pathetic moron.
Nihilists will always be viewed as the enemy, (other, evil doer) by people the likes of Adolph Hitler and George W. Bush. Without nihilists, there would never arise the possibility of change. A new game! Nihilists know, that the play of opposites is always conciliatory.
(Saints need sinners "Alan Watts")
The Judeo/Christian game is in its last throes, thanks to nihilists
The Judeo/Christian model of the universe is nothing more than a concept, which portrays the opposites as either good or evil. It gives rise to the belief that one can defeat the other, with all believers finding the need to take sides. While it does provide the fundamentals for games and sporting events, the way it plays with the human psyche is most often destructive. This self/other mentality has spawned numerous religions, of which each believer is ready to fight and die for.
You are entitlted to an opinion and im entiltled to mine. I think he's real. I think he will come and save us like he did once before. Just think what are the odds of everything coming together. How would the "the big bang" even happen without him. look this up "This Should Keep Us All Thinking."
WE created god. WE wrote the bible. WE created heaven and hell because we wanted to keep power over others. Jesus Christ was a liar who went along with peoples trust in him and he used them for his own fame and fortune, all in the name of "god". Tell me, when was the last time god has talked to you? And i dont mean by some chance HE gave you the "answer" to your prayer. Where is the proof behind the bible? or even god? I ll tell you, there isnt any. Im not afraid to say this to you. KRIS- 14-OH
wow, okay i go with fact that bible written by humans... but jesus wasn't a iar he was a prophet of allah [god] don't judge so fast just look up in the quran see if any mistakes were maked i bet my life if quran isn't the word of god.... ill jump from the rooftop of my house if islam is fake...
@idontcare9977 i totally agree, i am a budist (just wanted 2 say) and i hate it when people tell me im going to hell cuz im not there religon!! (for the record im a hipicrit, i cant spell, and buda isnt "god" or a "god".) i totally agree :)
@idontcare9977 Hmmm lets's see. We created the God of the Bible( a distinction not made by you) man wrote the bible( claiming inspiration by Holy Spirit,christianity doesn't claim otherwise), and we created heaven & hell for power using fear. Notice people, all claims or statements then red herring questions & then a declaration. No arguementation. Oh and by the way you noticed he recognized Jesus as a real historical figure who lied. I thought he was made up. You slit your own throat on that
Well done! Some relief for the thoughtful and reasonable. I'm afraid that it's wasted on believers--they're all stuck in Plato's cave enjoying the shadow play.
sounds right to me. in the end (of life) there is truth. so be good for goodness sake. whose it gonna hurt? heck maybe its something we never expected that happens when we pass on. or, maybe it just starts all over again.
Heres my take on all this. Whether or not you believe in God there is still war, famine, disese and suffering. You either believe there is a big plan and purpose and that eventually everything will work out for the best (Religion/Optimism), or you believe we are just an accidental chemical occurance (Athieism/Pessimism). Either way you look at it the issue at had is how do we fix these problems. The responsibilty falls on mankind to fix manmade problems.
yeah, that´s so correct,actually he was them all. and it´s even better: He will rule this forever, maybe via "change!" that is none. just you wait until we see Obama´s devil face. He already talks like Bush, only better. No alternatives and solutions. you know what a solution would be: share the money that´s there: like confiscate all the fascist-money the people own who own the banks and most of all that makes money..of us. peace brother
It is just amazing how stupid and blind following and stupid so many people can be. Basing their whole lives on mythical beings in the sky created by ignorant, superstitious, backwards, brutal ancestors without ONE SPEC of hard evidence to base their beliefs on.
Religion is just a social system. It makes us feel better about what happens after we die if others have the same view as us. It has no effect on anyone else but for some reason everyone has to make religion the center of every conflict instead of just accepting what is. As long as it makes people feel better about their lives and allows them to accept death then who cares?
I don't give a shit if there is a god. It is of no relevance to me. I don't care if there is one or not. Just because others think I'll burn in hell later doesn't mean I should stop living and adopt their ideology of good standards to living
good comment!! these other people are posting re the world/creation its just as it is, great song asking people what is the point of a man made faith when they can twist it to suit their own means regardless???? XTC very clever!!
In the part of the song, "Did you make disease and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too". Who is that the picture representing the "Devil"?
Grandiosa canción. el mundo esta podrido,y no nos queremos enterar. Dios mira para otro lado. XTC es sin lugar una de las mejores bandas que ha dado el reino unido. Así somos, así nos va.-Como leí por algún lado un verdadero himno de fé.Great song.
We (You and I); all of us are to blame for Mankind's woes ... One cannot blame Truth or Creation and Is (To Be)! We all (You and I) are able to hate or to kill one another in whose so ever name; but how much ever we may hate and kill each other; it will never change or stop Truth, Creation and Is!
hmmm interesting XTC and Patrick with his fam song Dear God. Did you know that God really is a DOG? The anti-christ is just around the corner biding his time co's he knows we're not humans anymore. God sold us! You got to love it!
GREAT SONG. As for snote22...wow only 11 that's cool. Your parents and I are on the same page. You are young and are using your rights while we still have them. Keep up the good work!!!
You can't blame someone for believing in god. Most people were brainwashed by elders and parents. I'm only 11 and I'm an atheist. Thats because my parents allowed me to pick my own religion and make sense of things my self.
First of all I believe in God. That said, this is a great song. It is said that without faith there is no God. So this song is about no faith - but is that God's fault? Nope. It's Man. Or specifically, Man's own hypocrisy in using God to defend what Man considers 'right' and 'just'. This song doesn't condemn God - but Man. And rightfully so.
I think you missed his point entirely he's crying out and IS trying to understand but instead of help,solace,answers or directions God just give commands. I don't blame him for being angry there are so many lost souls and god just ignores them and screws us all over! Don't blame him blame your creator.
You claim this video is all so GOOD, and I'm here to tell you it is ungodly and why... choose to believe or not, I don't care, but there are some that may have fallen for the lie you guys espouse that with truth shed on the matter that they would wake up. It's not about the numbers, it's about the quality of the peoples hearts. One must Love Truth in order to see it.
We're here because we like the song and are for the most part atheist. You're just here to argue. Do you even like this band? How did you even find this? WTF?
I assume many believers in self would love someone that sings this type of filth. That's a given. Who cares if it sounds cool or the video is cool if it's no good for mankind.
We like it because it makes us happy, because there are thousands of songs about how great religion is, and one of the best parts about this song is the fact that it's not here to argue with anyone, it's just hear to be like "hey atheists, you're not alone", and if you're here to bitch and moan then YOU'RE anti atheist
@IxxGODxxI read it carefully and see how we're trapped to beliefs from 2000 years ago? Galileo was called a heritic by the same people who supported that bible. Read it carefully? I guess we should continue to believe that the world is flat too?

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. ~ Seneca quotes (Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD)
NathanWubs 2 years ago 43
@NathanWubs, I'm pretty sure the line is from Lucretius, and goes "All religions are equally sublime to the ignorant, useful to the politician, and ridiculous to the philosopher" But appropriate all the same.
jacobvardy 2 years ago
Correct. The phrase "religion is the opiate of the masses" was meant in reference to it's ability to subdue as well as it's euphoria and addictive qualities.

@failblorg Are you implying that religion works? If so, try explaining that to victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Asian tidal waves, the Australian floods, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, the Great London Fire of 1666, the Black Plague, Hurricane Andrew...every wildfire, earthquake, mudslide and well, EVERY natural disaster in California ever....and the list goes on....then you might have some credibility. If you're NOT implying what I thought; then ignore everything I just said. :/

Really? Richard Dawkins said the whole god thing might have started with the way kids have imaginary friends. Some people just never grow out of it. He talks about it in the book The God Delusion.

No it starts because by nature humans are curious about where they came from and because the first humans felt alone and wanted to feel comforted. But then one human realizes he can use religion for power and it evolves into what we have today.

The brain does an extraordinary amount of processing that's unreacheable by simple introspection.
Something as seemingly trivial as bipedal locomotion or being able to tell that your shadow is not a real object is a hard, very processing intense problem. Nearly everything we do is unconscious.
My hypothesis is that religious personify as god parts of their subconscious. Probably the part of the moral subsystems that allow us to judge our own behaviour from someone elses point of view.

god is for relife,heavens so people have something to live for(false hope),hell is to keep people in line.simple as that.
"thou shalt kill"doesnt specify who not to kill so all hunters and solgers are sinners and EVERYONE (wether they admit or not)have commited the sin of lust so we are all sinners.also if adam and eve were the first two people then we are all inbreed.

Without doubt? Be careful. You're beginning to sound like someone with proof, which you may be asked to present, and then you'll have to spout nonsensical bullshit that means nothing and you'll end up looking like a twat, especially if your proof is based on "emotional feelings".

Ogirv101, I just always find. Lol!
I want to clear up, Physics only moves toward the Pantheist God. Why? Because it shows how the universe works and create things by itself, showing nothing supernatural. That's the reason many physicians quote many pantheistic points of view, like Albert Einstein, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, etc.
And Statistics is no evidence of God. Why? In the past, statistics showed that most of the people believe the world was flat. We know now that it isn't.

stelron5050 3 years ago
The Judeo/Christian model of the universe is nothing more than a concept, which portrays the opposites as either good or evil. It gives rise to the belief that one can defeat the other, with all believers finding the need to take sides. While it does provide the fundamentals for games and sporting events, the way it plays with the human psyche is most often destructive. This self/other mentality has spawned numerous religions, of which each believer is ready to fight and die for.

Heres my take on all this. Whether or not you believe in God there is still war, famine, disese and suffering. You either believe there is a big plan and purpose and that eventually everything will work out for the best (Religion/Optimism), or you believe we are just an accidental chemical occurance (Athieism/Pessimism). Either way you look at it the issue at had is how do we fix these problems. The responsibilty falls on mankind to fix manmade problems.

Religion is just a social system. It makes us feel better about what happens after we die if others have the same view as us. It has no effect on anyone else but for some reason everyone has to make religion the center of every conflict instead of just accepting what is. As long as it makes people feel better about their lives and allows them to accept death then who cares?

First of all I believe in God. That said, this is a great song. It is said that without faith there is no God. So this song is about no faith - but is that God's fault? Nope. It's Man. Or specifically, Man's own hypocrisy in using God to defend what Man considers 'right' and 'just'. This song doesn't condemn God - but Man. And rightfully so.
