It's a shame not everyone takes the time to enjoy the beauty all around us. If everyone took time every day to enjoy the simple, beautiful things, I believe the world would be a much nicer place.
In my living room we have a series of graffiti style Spocks that I purchased at a local art auction. There was an entire wall of them. I only bought five. I wish I had them all. Every morning at breakfast I look at them and smile.
Ah, the infamous Scientologists of Tottenham Court Road appear in one of your photos. I used to have them trying to accost me every time I walked to lectures. I'm afraid I was foolish enough to stop and debate one of them once; which resulted in have three of them screaming in my face. They are such well balanced and adjusted people. Thank Ron for dianetics.
Nice video, made great by the really cute squirrel.
Just getting some BTL fix.....I may start stalking you...not to worry..Widge is being stalked too...I do suck at stalking...thanks for the awesome video :)
I for one do not claim that atheists cannot be happy. Although, some are better actors than others. But deep down inside their soul, there is a empty hopeless existence. Ony God can fill that, not food, art, relationships, science, pleasures, money, success, status, power, possesions.That's just real talk.Why do you think so many celebrities are messed up (divorce, drug problems) because they have obtained everything the world has to offer and are still empty inside. Satan's clever and deceitful
PS. sorry if the truth hurts that atheists can be just as happy, and hopeful and fulfilled and lead purposeful, meaningful, lives without believing in your god, but they can and do.
@BruNoLoCc Celebrities are under allot of pressure to act and look perfect. Christians divorce at the exact same rate as non-Christians. Look up the statistics. Your other assertions have no basis other than your perceptions via indoctrination. What would you believe if you were not taught what you should believe? Think for yourself =D
There is beauty, man made and natural all around us, why not just enjoy it, smile and go on with your day, no need to ask where it came from, just enjoy it because life is too short not to....
Well, if you are going to ask where it came from, do so productively instead of accepting the words of the semi illiterate and very primitive desert people who wrote the bible.
Very inspiring. Our universe is infinitely more wonderful for those of us who are unsure of the grand mystery, Christians don't know what they are missing.
I agree that would be a tragedy, I believe in an afterlife but I also believe that this world couldn't be more beautiful and valuable, everywhere I go I am amazed at how beautiful this world is, I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places and there is nothing more beautiful than this world :)
I always thought it was funny when the religios would come to campus and claim that "there must be more to life." They often asked where my sense of wonder was. Whereas they offer the concept that I exist to make more humans so we can all worship some sort of ethereal father figure my personal world view is, I believe, much more filled with wonder.
Without too much expounding: Some trillions of years ago 4 fundamental forces began running the show. Since then these forces have caused matter to aggregate into stars, planets, and eventually living forms. The same stuff that makes stars made me, and you, and everything. It's not sentient, but I am. 4 simple forces have given way to beauty, love, hate, and televangelists. Poorly stated maybe, but it fills me with a sense of wonder far greater than, "Do what I say or burn monkey."
hmm, yeah. It's impossible to plan ahead and do anything worthwhile unless you're a follower of the man who said:
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple."
and
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself"
In other words, 'abandon your family, your home, your plans, leave everything behind and follow me."
Sad part is he was a relatively young man. His talks on evolution that i have seen on youtube make so much sense. They made the all the little gears and cogs click together in my mind. I have bought the complete hitchikers guide to the galaxy series, i just have to pull my finger out and read them.
I like this video! But you can't convince them that you're happy.
The funny thing is most fundies also say that we hate God even though we don't believe he exists. I don't know if they truly believe that or if it's just an act or propaganda.
That wasnt what I meant. I just meant that the things around me are bright and beautiful. The only bit with me is the intro and the short clip of the dryer.
Meep. I hope that isnt what everyone thought I meant.. :/
well i can see where people could make the bright and beautiful link to you ;) but nah its pretty clear you were showing off the nice things you enjoy in life. But 'certain' people are always going be a bit...vapid. I'm looking at a few of your more recent comments now....hmmm :P
I guess I sorta am... seen every series except the last one, and seen every movie... course thats as far as I go...
well between this video and this song I've been listening to I decided to trying doing an AMV, but man, just 4 minutes of video takes forever and is a lot of work...
hey it's not all about her... though she is beautiful... and she does brighten up everyone's day... and that smile... ok maybe it should be all about her XD
Hmm... I think when I try to be funny I come across more as creepy <.<
Well, fuck 10,000 years of civilization before Christ. That part of history was full of fail(fuck Socrates)! I find the universe less beautiful when I think God just threw it together in 7 days. Which is more impressive flawless art crafted by an unerring hand or a 3-year-old drawing inside the lines of said art? If God made the universe I am pretty sure he needed crayons for his coloring book or a storage shed and we are the unintended mildew in the corner :D.
I really wish I could have liked that movie. While I think Quinto did a really good job with Spock, I thought the casting of Kirk was terrible.
I know the movie was all about re-imaging and character development, but the adversary in the movie (Nero) was terrible. He was cookie cutter and uninteresting.
Compare that to Star Trek 2, where you have an interesting foe (Khan), and wonderful character interaction between Bones, Kirk and Spock.
Thanks for replying. It's cool hearing your opinion!
We have possums down here in Aus, the little buggers don't come out till night and they eat all the fruit and veggies we have growing if we aren't careful. They also make the most horrible, disturbing sounds, gave me nightmares when I was little.
But they ARE cute if you ignore the red eyes and the EVILNESS.
P.S. As you can probably guess, I *loved* the quotation! Possibly the best happy humanist quote ever by the best author ever. That made my evening! Thanks again. :-)
... and *that* just made my day. :-D You're fantastic, BTL. Have a great day. :-)
P.S. While I do love your rational, profound, and thought-provoking videos as well as the ones in which you call out bigots and liars, I have to say that your quirky / happy humanist videos like this are my favorite. I enjoy thinking, but I also enjoy smiling. :-)
*grin* Yeah, since I study long dead bones I decided it would be nice to be a blood donor for this osteoclast/osteoblast project at the local university hospital..
They literally wait just outside for the blood and then scurry away with it. Barely got a chance to take that picture.. ;D
yeah atheistic japan seens incapable of creating anything. and after trusting all hope for hapiness in the promises of an unresponsive god, i've seen the jealous resentment of our hedonistic pleasures
Thanks Fritz - I love that shirt too. I should wear it more really, in case a Spock type passes me in the street but doesnt realise that's he'd be my ideal man.. ;)
Also, that's one of my favourite clips I've taken recently too. I had no idea how I was going to shoehorn it into a video, but this seemed like the best opportunity I was ever going to get.. ;)
I only comment the truth :) And I don't agree with whatever any religious person has told you that without religion you can not be happy. Happiness is a choice you make regardless of our beliefs. Everybody makes life so interesting for me, believers, non believers! I love diversity!!!!
I'm an atheist and unhappy, but that's because I suffer from depression, and the two things are completely separate. If I didn't suffer from it then I would be as happy as anyone ese. In fact, I talked about this in a video that I'll post as a response.
Although I think my video was more to do with refuting the idea that all atheists are 'lacking' something, rather than saying all atheists are happy. Cause that would be a crazy claim.. :)
here comments a doom n' gloomer with a sunny disposition.. i know we're all fucked but i cant help bein happy & finding things fascinating.. it would be an insult to the millions in poverty and terrible situations to waste our privileged existence by feelin sorry for ourselves for no good reason. it aint just god botherers who turn their noses up at : )
frowns get u taken seriously, so maybe i should work on the ole grrrr face. chortle!
love the douglas adams quote at the end there too..
great vid i dont get the whole if your an atheist you must be so miserable thing like when i was a fundy my life was so much better the fact is christian people are always talking about tribulation god needs to help them get through they seem more troubled about the world around them maybe is because they are waiting for there sky fairy to fix all there problems. by the way i can be your spock ill even wear the ears lol.
I don't know.... couldn't you hear him plotting to systematically eliminate all those darker furred squirrels? "Grey squirrels are the one true squirrel! Our chosen people will one day inherit all temperate northernly climates!!"
I think you should have stomped on that racist bugger.
Yes, he was very cute. I'll tell you the cutest thing ever.
Last time I was camping in Alberta, I was on a walk with my sisters dog when we came across the home of a family of prairie dogs. The dig a network of tunnels in the middle of a field with a hole every ten feet or so. Have you ever seen that arcade game 'wack-a-mole'? Well, imagine a puppy running this way and that as little prairie dogs bob up and down all over the place.
It's a shame not everyone takes the time to enjoy the beauty all around us. If everyone took time every day to enjoy the simple, beautiful things, I believe the world would be a much nicer place.

Indeed, they are.. :)
Although I think my video was more to do with refuting the idea that all atheists are 'lacking' something, rather than saying all atheists are happy. Cause that would be a crazy claim.. :)

Indeed, people of all types can experience that sense of lacking, religious preference doesn't have anything to do with it.

This was GREAT, but I must admit my favorite part was your nod to technology. :)
Without my washing machine I would be a very unhappy person. (Indoor plumbing is good, too!)
Final quote topped it off. Once again, you make me aspire to try better here on YT!

I'm not an atheist but I am a non unicornist. I don't believe in unicorns. Yet I find I am still happy in life. I bake nice pies that cheer me up.

Good lord, did you have any blood LEFT?
People go to great lengths to keep squirrels out of their bird feeders-- I'd much rather watch the squirrels, myself.

A little bit. Then I got cookies. Not a bad trade off.. ;)
bewarethelizards42 2 years ago
Cookies for blood-- Why didn't vampires think of that trade?

Yeah, everyone hates grey squirrels.. they out competed the red ones and are thus generally unpopular.. but still cute!

i remember visiting a red squirrel santuary-now they were cute.

I don't know.... couldn't you hear him plotting to systematically eliminate all those darker furred squirrels? "Grey squirrels are the one true squirrel! Our chosen people will one day inherit all temperate northernly climates!!"
I think you should have stomped on that racist bugger.

I cant stomp on tiny cute things. I am genetically incapable! ;)
bewarethelizards42 2 years ago
Yes, he was very cute. I'll tell you the cutest thing ever.
Last time I was camping in Alberta, I was on a walk with my sisters dog when we came across the home of a family of prairie dogs. The dig a network of tunnels in the middle of a field with a hole every ten feet or so. Have you ever seen that arcade game 'wack-a-mole'? Well, imagine a puppy running this way and that as little prairie dogs bob up and down all over the place.

Oh man, you left out Sudoku and C++ and calculus.
erm ... plus chicks and beer and tunes of course (- or wine, women and song - or sex, drugs and rock and roll).
