  • Animals do not have souls?

    Well, humans are animals. so humans do not have souls. Nobody has a soul, nothing has a soul.

  • That dog rocks. Great vid. Clean your room.

  • only gingers dont have souls.

  • there is always an animal which is an ''unnecessary cog in the big wheel''. the t-rex could just as easly NOT existed during the time of the dinosaurs.

  • and also, if every sperm has a soul... then i killed MILLIONS of my own unborn babies.. am i a sinner?

  • you see... dogs are the humanities closest friend. because it molests and eat shit, just like us.. the only difference is, the dog is not as smart, but just as happy if not more.. and it still loves us. that more then a human can recieve from another human..

    so why a girlfriend when there are prostitutes and loyal dogs.

  • Humans are this planet's cancer. If we go to heaven, but dogs, those perfect, loving creatures, don't, then God is the biggest dick ever.

  • when the dog was licking your face, i imagined you licking the dog's face... it was the weirdest thing ever

  • that dog is so cute

  • I love all these 1000000 points he makes in this video XD

  • I think about this sometimes too.

  • face @ 4:06... BAHAHAHAHAHAH.

  • Keep pressing 6 he sounds British and he says balls

    and then press 9 lol

  • GO GRENDYL!

  • According to Catholic Teaching.. Animals do not have souls in the same way that we have souls. They have a soul, but there soul is a different kind of soul in comparison to humans.

  • haha, humans (evolved apes) are indeed animals too. I don't get why some folks forget this?

  • @NoveltyFishHead Well while we are animals, I don't like how people say we evolved from apes. Apes and humans have a common ancestor, we did not come from them directly. Australopithecus was not an ape.

  • The best point was when he mentioned the idea that are soul if we have a soul was there before us and we'll be there after us yet our fate is somehow supposed to rest within our decisions from a physical organ

  • dude your room is a mess! great vid btw

  • Good video.

  • How can their be no rocks in heaven?

  • 3:39 Viruses aren't living things, TJ.

  • @saretardedfilms True, but they are more living than not. It's a fair guess.

  • @saretardedfilms *facepalm* There is either living or non-living. Viruses are alive, therefore are living things.

  • @Lateralusmaster Viruses aren't alive, retard. Look it up. They're particles of nucleic acid. Are acids alive, numbnuts?

  • @saretardedfilms Oh really. I did look it up and I found a few sites say they ARE alive. Hmm. Who's the numbnuts now? Acids are different from viruses anyways.

  • @Lateralusmaster You're still the numbnuts, my friend. And I'll prove it. I'll message you a few links that prove viruses aren't alive. Mmkay.

  • @saretardedfilms Can I have the links to? I would be interested in seeing why you have reached your conclusion.

  • @TastyPie95 Huh?

  • @saretardedfilms The ones about the viruses.

  • @TastyPie95 Sure. Hang on.

  • I love your dog, :)

  • It is a fascinating question

  • If only everyone thought like you... BTW I adore your dog.

  • Gingers have no souls.

  • Lal. not all humans have souls. Ever heard about gingers ? XD

  • I doubt that the consciousness ("soul", though that term is too supernatural for me) isn't identical to the brain, because your brain doesn't always do what the consciousness wants - I want to ask a girl out, but my brain wants me to feel scared, and so forth as described by the "scumbag brain" meme. I see the brain as a tool to interpret decisions made by consciousness and send it to the rest of the body.

    Interesting discussion though, and very cute dog :)

  • Your dog is the best.

  • Everything in the whole Universe has a soul. Even the rocks or the planets, the trees or the animals. The conscience we, human beings, have received, is gift by Allah, God, whatever you want, I call Him: Allah.

    But this ain't the point. You have a soul, I have have a soul, angels have souls, even the evil has a soul. Only we, humans, have the choise to be right or wrong, good or bad, heal or hurt.

    Believe me, please, I respect you "TheAmazingAtheist". Peace & Salam

  • Chickens have souls, Humans don't. Chickens are decent people. 

  • @TheEnglishAtheist1 you dont see chickens hanging out in drug gangs do ya?

    you see a chickens hooking up some guys nuts to a car battery

    when was the last time you heard a chicken came home and beat the shit out of his hen. Doesnt happen because chickens are decent people

  • @TheEnglishAtheist1 ahahahah I miss george

  • lol at 3:10 - 3:17 the dog actually looks like he's listening

  • okay that WAS kinda funny. I am a christian btw.

  • I don't like pugs but, his dog's kind of cute.

  • I never thought I'd say this, but just for the awesomeness of the introduction, I'll say it; Catholicism FTW

    Grendal's the best Pug ever, how can you not love that derpy little face?

  • I don't know that it's really appropriate to refer to bees and ants as having hive minds. But it's probably irrelevant to your point that souls are bullshit.

  • Ha ha the ought reminds of my puggle who derped as a puppy

  • OMG your dog derps thats awesome!

  • Im sorry. I did not pay attention, your dog is too damn cute

  • The only reason I believe in the soul is that there is no way of artificially creating true life. I think everything that is living has a soul. I also think that our neural system is as it is as a result of the soul.

  • @AresExodus Cloning is possible.Purely creating life from its primary building blocks(chemicals) is being studied and tried,but that would mean an incredible knowledge of biology.And for all we know,conscience is the result of the brain's complexe neuronal network and all of the neurochemical reactions going on in there.

  • I have a pug too!!

  • Grendel is so fucking cute!

  • You are a fucking genius.

  • i started laughing at 2 parts

    part 1: All rocks go to heaven

    part 2: If my intellect decides to kill 37 people with a stapler why should my soul be puished?

  • i was rofling at "all rocks go to heaven"

  • You ask why you are a lessor being than a dog. Because a dog knows by instinct to follow the law or if you need more, the nature which he was created to follow and does so. You refuse to acknolege and even attack the one that created you. Don't ask me to prove there is a God, because you would refuse to see Him if he sat in front of you. That and only that is what makes you lessor than a dog.

  • @ajul4u lol he never asked why he is a lesser bein than a dog. and tj said if god would show himself he would be the first to suck his dick and juggle his balls.

    get your stuff right before you write some senseless shit to him. Tj explained in a very reasonable way why the whole thing about sould does not make sense, if it´s anyone that is not willing to understand, it is you. And it´s lesser not lessor, I´m German and even I fucking know that.

  • @Streichwurstable you tell me to get my stuff right, well, i say that to u. I never responded to him by saying i would suck #@ #@$^. He said that to me in reply to my saying He wouldn't see God if He appeared in front of him. I said that , that is the only thing that makes him a lesser being than a dog because dogs, because of how they are made, know their creator. He doesn't know who is his creator. Make sense to me that NOT KNOWING THE ONE THAT CREATED HIM makes him lesser than a dog.

  • @ajul4u I never knew that dogs know who their creator is and how do you know who it is?

    In fact no one knows who the creator is, if there is anything like that at all.

    I myself am pretty sure that if there is a creator, it is way bigger than anyone of us could imagine and that it´s definetly not one of those fucked up sky wizards created by people that didn´t even know that the world isn´t flat.

  • @ajul4u If God sat before me, I would not doubt his existence. Don't you realise that people don't disbelieve god because there is no reasonable evidence for him? If there were any miracles recorded, if any of the laws of physics were broken, if god had given ANY conclusive evidence of his existence, he would not be doubted.

  • @TheZino1999 Where's your reasoning? If I didn't have a soul I couldn't move? That if I used my brain I'd come to the same conclusion?

    1. I think you fail to grasp what a soul is in the biblical temr

    2. You fail to grasp how the body & mind work together

  • LMAO i love that church for being cool about it lol all rocks go to heaven ahahahahahahahaha they get respect points from me

  • @MrSyntheticDesign

    like he said, it wasn't real...but if it was... i would join that church.

  • What you really must understand is that God just likes humans better than the rest of the entire universe that he created. I mean duuuuuh!

  • Comment removed

  • this was very enlightening

    by the way, your dog is so cute.

  • Every time the dog licked his mouth i cringed. I hate when people let their pets do what is pretty much as close as you can get to making out with someone without actually making out.

  • THANK YOU. humankind is so fucking ARROGANT. -__- perhaps i'm just being a misanthrope but humanity's history makes me want to bang my head against a brick wall.

  • @pumpkinghead15 hmmmmmm...nope. humanity Is pretty stupid...misanthropy forgiven

  • @IxLOVExANTHRAX thank you, kind sir. also: i share your love of anthrax. or are you referring to the band?

  • @pumpkinghead15 the name is directed towards the band. however, i DO have a sort of fascination with the disease!

  • I love this video. It speaks so much truth PLUS a pug is involved.

  • "ALL ROCKS GO TO HEAVEN" X'D Thanks for making my day,sign. 

  • I was watching the dog the whole video :P

  • soul is a hellenic term that was invented dsome thousand years before jesus appeared.and think of this..when some1 is in hispital..in ER and his heart has stoped fuctioning...hhis BRAIN also..and hes clinicaly dead for 1-2 minutes..and then they revive him..that means his soul goes out pof his body and then coming back? clearly theres NO soul.read ihstory and hellenic language if u wanna know the real truth about the term of..soul.

  • @itachiitachi1946 the beginning of the Hellenistic period took place around 323 BC, thats quite a bit less than the "thousand years" before Jesus was born. Fail.

  • @nero314100 actually U FAIL when u say that.cause hellenic civilisation is more than 30.000 years old.323 bc?rly? alexander the great was borned at 356BC...leonidas was born 540BC..so stop pulling BS out of ur ass cause u clearly have no idea about hellenic history.i bet u dont even know about the orfiis and orfik scrits(orfiis were ancients of ancients.now we say 'ancient hellenes''and ancient hellenes were saying the same. calling em orfiis.

  • @itachiitachi1946

    When you say hellenic, you are referring to the early greek civilization, correct? Nero314 is referring to the period of time after Alexander's death (323 BC is it?) during which Greek culture was spreading across the world. You're both correctly using the terms I believe, but referring to different definitions. But where is your evidence for 30,000 years old. There is no known recorded history that far back. The period called ancient Greece is < 1000 years BC, isn't it?

  • @mellamosean minoic civilisation is 8000 years old.when ull ever visit hellas and if u ever go to crete then ull see the fossils signs etc and other facts that proves that those artifacts r more or less over 30.000-35.000 years old.check also gramiki B.thats the area of the kritiko museum.

  • @itachiitachi1946

    But when did the term soul come about, and what is your evidence of that?

  • @mellamosean the fact that proved the term of soul was found in hellas(peloponisos)named as psichy(psihi/ψηχή=soul).it was written in a spafoms poem.(sapfo was a female hellene poet.she was the first also saying that heart=feeling.since then its established saying crap like''my heart is with u,u stole my heart and any kind of crap like that).it wss finded in written papers AND in stone signes.chronologicaly theyr estimated more or less 25.000-28.000 years old.psychy in hellenes means COLD cause

  • @itachiitachi1946 (2)when u die u leave a cold breath.hellenes named that as psychy(ψυχή=soul).so when some1 was dying they were saying that his psychy(soul) left his body.meaning he died.later the term soul was established in religions of orfiis(orfiis were ancients of ancients.when sokratis,anaksimandros,aristot­elis,platonas etc were refererhing to their ancient ancestors they were referhing them as orfiis)and the 12theism(dodekatheismos=olympi­an gods).read the orfic scripts if u wana more

  • Comment removed

  • @itachiitachi1946

    Can you find an internet article* that confirms this? Because I can't.

  • @mellamosean google it(i dont know if ull find any article in english language.but google this one(copy and paste it on google search)(ΟΡΦΙΚΑ ΚΕΙΜΕΝΑ).ull see many sites writen in hellenig language.but u dont know greek..its like u cant walk when u dont speak and know greek and u try to look for facts and evidences in history.(aka un educated.no offence)use google translator also.but if u still CANT find then check the argue of protagoras and sokratis about the point of filosofi(philosophy)

  • @itachiitachi1946

    The thing is, I can't even find anything that suggests that any artifacts with written language on it dating from a time even remotely close to the time period you suggested.

  • @mellamosean yeah....so since u cant find what i told u to find...means it doesnt exist..right?..since it doesnt exist....means i lied...right?...since i lied...means soul is a creation of god..right?..since soul is a creation of god..means god do exist...since god exists,...means he takes care of u protecting u bla bla blA AND all that stuff..right?..sigh..gimme a break,,i told u WHAT and WHERE to look to certificate about the term soul.its not so hard to search online u know

  • @itachiitachi1946

    What the fuck is wrong with your brain? I'm an atheist. I don't believe in souls. I made none of those assumptions. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, I know that. But obviously I'm not going to believe you until I see something. If it's not hard to find, then send me a link to some article in English. If you don't care enough, that's fine, because I don't care enough to try to find proof in Greek...

  • @mellamosean the articles r only in greek language.

  • @itachiitachi1946

    Then I guess we'll have to forget it...

  • @mellamosean u wanna give up? -_- what kind of attitude is that?..giving up? sigh..GO to google and type (ΟΡΦΙΚΑ ΚΕΙΜΕΝΑ) see the pages and then use..GOOGLE TRANSLATOR.its not hard.if u dont wanna do that then read the politevma of platonos(platonas..u call platon as plato.read the book of plato about politevma(politevma=state..pol­itics..u know..like kratos...like the structure of society and politics)its called platonos politia.it cannot be translated in english but i think somethig ull find

  • @itachiitachi1946

    Um, yea actually. I'm giving up. Not interested in it. Don't care. Peace.

  • @mellamosean u...fucking quiter.

  • @itachiitachi1946

    fuck off troll

  • @mellamosean u mad bitch?thats ur own problem.not mine.so u fuck off troll.

  • @mellamosean that's why you are a lesser being then a dog. They know there is a God and they follow the law that God gave them to follow. You don't.

  • @ajul4u

    why am I a lesser being than a dog? I have no idea which comment you're responding to. But dogs know there is a god? wtf brought you to that conclusion...

  • I think the fact that we can alter someones personality by altering their brain physically, is enough to disprove souls.

  • Ahh, i LOVED this when it was uploaded. I'm glad to have stumbled upon it once again. One of my all time favorites TJ

  • One of his best videos

  • Dogs do not have souls, because no such thing exists

  • Does... Does this mean we're all gingers?

  • @Tmanstext We've all seen them. On the playground, at the store, walking on the streets. They creep us out, and make us sick to our stomachs. I'm talking, of course, about Ginger kids. Ginger kids are born with a disease which causes very light skin , red hair, and freckles. This disease is called “gingervitis.” Kids who have gingervitis cannot be cured. Because their skin is so light, ginger kids must avoid the sun, not unlike... vampires.

  • cute dog, I love chocking dogs and bitches and kick them in the ass, nobody has souls or spirits or feelings we're all animals we speak and have feelings and freedom of will because huuummm I well I dontknow why and i dont fucking care. good and bad doesn't exist either, so lets eat and get drunk and high for tomorrow we will die. see you in hell

  • @geradorable wait wtf did i just say i dont supposed 2 beliebeve in that thing o well never mind

  • @geradorable

    its ok, you got your point across. we're all animals, amirite?

  • @geradorable Feelings are just chemical reactions going off in our body.

  • Red heads dont have souls

  • this is one of my favourite videos of you <3

  • why would it matter? just kill em. who cares??! are you suddenly becoming all spiritual?! dork.

  • @2choosewisely2

    You are the dork

    

  • Wait... A catholix Church with a sense of humour?

  • @luhlwot he is smart but you should also watch Thunderf00t and AronRa they have channels like TheAmazingAthiests.i would explain them to you but thats impossible they are just too awsome and when they crush someones argument they do it in the most epic way possible-slow methodicle disection of the oponents argument.

  • Cute dog!!

  • theres no such thing a soul

    we all live work by chemistry

  • Comment removed

  • My dog doesn't have any soul, because my dog's hair is orange. :3

  • Grendel is the coolest little guy. I'm glad he's still around.

  • this is so much better when he is objective instead of spouting all his warped opinions. though his opinions are awesome. one would almost say amazing

  • weird ass dog man, i want one of those.

  • How can dogs go to "heaven or hell" of what we see is "right and wrong" if we are the ones that made up that notion? A dogs right and wrong is not ours so how can they go to heaven? Animals are not aware of the things we make up.

  • @hotwhire, totally agreed. :)

  • Great vid- you're a BIG bag of meat!

  • @calmreason =D

  • Sorry, just read the rest of the vid :P :P

  • Those sign were so shopped...

  • @CbarMiiXaaS He said they were!

  • @CbarMiiXaaS He even admitted it. Its still funny though.

  • cute dog

  • a... i dont know but is something is up with the dog eyes or its normal Oo

  • @ARAFELI It's a pug....they just look like that. :/

  • @killthemwithfirelol ooo i never saw it

    thanks

  • i so agree. and lmfao "all rocks go to heaven" 

  • God is not a man in the sky looking down on us. He is the conchens that every human has He is our ability to tell right from wrong people can not be born with out a conchens they can supres it and learn ignore it. Humans can also be fought that somthing isent wrong but I beleve that a human that was never taugh rules would have gilt if they did somthing bad to another human

  • Babies and Retards go to hell. 

  • Gigers ont have souls...

  • I don't believe in the soul...until now! Look how the  dog's soul is talking to us. 7:44 - philosophical soul

  • 7:40 it would in fact work better without us.

  • Christian: "God gave us souls cause it says it in the bible... the end"

  • :KABOOM:

    Oh and your dog is hilarious, he needs his own show ._.

  • i want a pug

  • I like to pretend that TJ's voice is the Pug's conscience speaking.

    seriously, ok go to 7:00 and tell me it doesnt look like that!

  • @SonicTheHedgehog0222 I have the same impression lol

  • @gaoasiadragon lol me to, but whata fuck a soul was?:P

  • A true philosopher.

  • i wish i thought of this. :P

  • that dog is amazing GO GOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ALL ROCKS GO TO HEAVEN lmao

  • Watch the southpark episode "do the handicapped go to heaven" and they have an interesting and funny view point

    (now I want a pug)

  • That dog is so cute and ugly at the same time.

  • Gotta love pugs! They're awsome! Awesome atheist pug :)

  • If dogs go to heaven then cats and mice go too.What does this mean? Christians! Have fun in a place infested with billions of maggots,snakes and crocodiles... :)

  • @Jamirofan89 So basically living on earth anyway,except with No chance of getting away from that,doesn't sound so nice anymore to people does it ? :)

  • Show me a soul, and I will follow you into the empty space of your christian heads.

  • Gingers don't have souls..... why are you defending we with souls?

  • @ryanbarnhart US not "we"

  • 6:30 I totaly love that part where you´re talking about being attacked by wild dogs and grendel starts licking your face :D

    my own opinion is, that there is no such thing as a soul. to say we have souls is merely an excuse for the arrogance wich lies withing every human being. my english is not so good, I live in Germany but I hope you guys who are reading this get my point.

    great vid TJ. :)

  • @Streichwurstable That really depends on your definition of a soul. I would say it is your consciousness, your memories, your personality, anything you are. Thus, people are not born with souls, but animals that are intelligent enough to be aware of their surroundings do have souls. But most importantly, sorry, your soul cannot survive your death. It is in your brain, so when your brain dies, you are gone forever. Sure, i would like an afterlife too, but just because i wish it, it wont be true.

  • @Hyeesa I never said that I bleive in an afterlife. I also believe that we die are gone forever once we are dead.

  • @Streichwurstable Oh, sorry, i might have mixed up the posts i was responding to.

  • @Hyeesa no problem :D

  • The thing that shocks me the most is just "humans go to heaven, animals don't " -- because humans aren't animals? And then yeah, someone says, that's what they believe. We're not animals. Well, what are we? We're people, of course!

    AAHH

  • Suppose the President were to propose that every homeless person be taken off the streets by the police, and kept in a hotel for 30 days. If, after those 30 days, a person could not find a home or someone to take him in, he would be killed. Would this be moral?

    This happens every day in this country with dogs.

    This video claims that people have nothing to make them special, so we are left with:

    1. We're committing genocide now

    2. The plan would be moral

    3. This video has severe logical flaws.

  • @techboyds define what is moral if there is no immortal soul.

  • @joshua2443 Feel free to substitute "okay" for the world "moral, if it bothers you. It's not important.

    The point is that if we accept the "reasoning" of this video, there is no significant difference between dogs and humans. You can replace the word "soul" in the rant for any difference you try to come up with to explain why we shouldn't euthanize homeless people as we do homeless dogs.

    I doubt many would suggest that euthanizing homeless people is in any way acceptable, so think it through.

  • @techboyds Sorry, I was tired and didn't express my point.

    Without a moral code from an intelligent designer, our moral system would have developed as a way of survival. So although in theory there may be little difference between killing a person or an animal, there is also no strict rule against this and we have to use our own personal judgement..

    It is contradictory, but mankind is imperfect. And I think the fact this is so imperfect is one of the points of the video.

  • @joshua2443 So you have embraced #2, that there would be no reason not to euthanize the homeless except that we just don't feel like it. It's a preference, like choosing between a Big Mac or chicken nuggets at McDonald's.

    If you want to go to that extreme, fine. I doubt most would.

    I actually doubt YOU would either, for what it's worth. Despite everything you write about value judgements, you end with a value judgement.. "Imperfect" implies that there is a "perfect" mankind is not meeting.

  • @techboyds I'll accept the term 'personal judgement' I used appears to trivialise this distinction. What I mean by this is that without a designer, our morals have evolved as a way of keeping humanity alive. Clearly the euthanization of homeless people is not in the best interest of humanity. This is the difference between dogs and humans, not the possession of a soul, and it is still our judgement and not a distinction made by a higher power.

  • @joshua2443 That's not at all clear. An argument could easily be made that removal of people that add nothing to society while draining its resources IS in the best interest of humanity.

    Your opinion can differ, but if this video is accurate, that's all it is. An opinion. Like Big Mac vs. chicken nuggets.

    Or we're committing mass murder in animal shelters across the country.

    In short, it doesn't just APPEAR to trivialize the distinction. You can spin all the rationalizations you want.

  • @techboyds sorry I was just trying to answer your statement but now we're sinking into the madness that is the youtube argument.

    Killing homeless isn't best for humanity in the basic sense that they are humans. But I don't wish to embarrass myself any more by arguing in comments section.

  • @joshua2443 When you appeal to basic humanity, you call upon (even if you do not acknowledge) a fundamental aspect of humans not found in dogs. Whatever that fundamental aspect is, if we replace the word "soul" in the video with that thing, the argument is the same, and that's my point.

    Thinking this video through to its logical conclusion takes us to a place most people, even atheists, don't accept as true.

    I take your point about youtube argument, though, this being my 5th comment ever.

  • this must be hellven

  • is that a pug or a puggle
