'The purpose of life' by Adam Deen (Not for the faint hearted!)

[vickutd92]

he is funny aswell MashaAllah...

[ludwigchopin]

I'm agnostic.

- He assumes all without belief in God follow consumerism and narcissism - No.

- He assumes self meaning is narcissistic. Not if that is sustainable meaning.

- He assumes we are unimportant because we will all die eventually. Time is just a dimension.

- He's making people feel unimportant, then suggesting because they are they must turn to God. And we are not alone, we always have ourselves and life around us. Be strong.

a bit of a statement to say people didn't commit acts of escapism whilst being religious, im agnostic and faith is believing in something regardless of the evidence against, more respect for a devotion to theism than atheism, but i wish i could see it

[noasbo]

@MusicalManifest666 It's not really escapism if people submit themselves to something they're predisposed to believe in, God.

[DerivedEnergy]

He's absolutely right. Unless we embrace a god, life is rendered meaningless, pointless, absurd and much much worse than this, it contains unnecessary suffering and death. Unfortunately I am an atheist ;(

[mandingo1]

Deluded.

[IseeRightThrough2you]

Furthermore, intrinsic meaning is impossible. Even if a big guy in the clouds did impose a meaning upon me, I would have to consciously decide that it matters to me in order for it to seem purposeful to me. We necessarily HAVE to make our own meaning with or without a deity.

[IseeRightThrough2you]

Unfortunately, there's a lot of truth in what he says about nihilism, materialism, escapism, and so forth. However, even if a godless universe is truly unpalatable, that doesn't mean it's not the case. You might decide that a universe in which you're not a billionaire isn't acceptable, but that won't make you any richer. Reality persists independent of our needs and desires.

i converted to Islam after watching this video.

I am atheist but im not an ignorant person if ur christian i wont judge u unless u judge me wat i dont get is why cant be believe what we want to believe i mean so wat i am atheist does tht mean tht people can just go around saying ur dumbass for not believing in god? People need to learn to acept peoples choices not make fun of them for wat they believe in.

Atheists and muslims BOTH are using their rationality and logic, Its just Muslims had more resources, which is the Qur'an.. STUDYING it led them to a whole different conclusion and atheist is just plain ignorant about it..

[DaarkRedeemer]

Makes me think...

[Akiachrounoumena]

haven't you heard hanna montana? life's what you make it, GUY! SPARE me

[e51269]

You don't get to choose your own reality. What is, is, whether you like it or not.

[saramelad]

wow really i enjoyed when i listened 2 Adam Deen he always gives me gd experience about Godless people and who they think .. really cool i hope one day from Atheists take this speech far 4 fanaticism and take it easy :D and think by logic

[Pentagon1311]

@saramelad Thinking rationally and logically is what made them atheists in the first place...

[theartofbeast]

@Pentagon1311 ... Are you saying that atheists are the ones with rationality and logic? That's completely untrue. We Muslims have just as much logic and rationality supporting why we believe what we believe.

[Saukko31]

Your religion, or your belief in god, is nothing more than a comfort blanket, it is your delusion that you can't see purpose without god.

Precisely what gives the life the purpose is the fact that it is limited, we make our own purposes, whether or not one believes in god.

[antitheistnow]

I agree that your life is pointless without god. If there is no god, you're just peddling bullshit and stealing money from people. You gotta hope that there is god, and that your book was not "written" by a beggar who ripped off parts of jewish and christian religious texts.
