I've been an atheist most of my life, but I've felt like I had to hide it due to the attitudes of friends and family. It's so good to hear someone shouting the praise of atheism from the rooftops, like you. Your passion and joy is really infectious. Thank you.
I'm a christian, but I actually agree with a lot of your opinions about living life to the fullest and taking control of your own life instead of waiting for " god's plan"
You got wings on your back , your like un angel not from god. The way you express your self I felt the same way, when I climbed out the rabbit whole. You could make a religious man get on there knee and pray to you. I subscribe.. yes I'm 100% Atheist 5 years growing stronger every min.
“I can say with complete and utter certainty these things were not and are not the result of indigestion, hallucinations…”
In my case it could nearly always be associated with digestion problems, I could feel someone touching me and breathing.
"absolutely certainty" comes from your brain, something we don’t have full and conscious control of, and anything real or hallucinations are all products of the same brain, it’s often quite impossible to tell the difference.
“from that point on I have always known, in my heart & soul, that God exists.”
That’s your explanation: if you were a Catholic, Muslim or an atheist, you would come to another convincement.
I’ve had many incredible experiences around the 10 to 16 years old and in my early 30’s.
As an adult I “knew” it was all in the brain and I learnt to rationalize it, I later understood that the phenomena was amplified when I had digestion problems, and so I knew when it was due.
"I don't think that one can 'decide' to be an atheist. It's simply a fact one discovers about oneself."
I agree, it’s not a competing religion a person could even be a "Christian atheist", follows the Christian tradition, follows most of Mr Jesus teachings, yet doesn't believe he is divine and doesn't believe in the existence of any deity.
I was a non-believer, for 30 years before evening hearing about the existence of others like me, nothing to learn about atheism.
The fool parrots a book over and over, because he can't think for himself.
The fool doesn't even realize that quoting a religious book calling those who don't buy its bullshit fools is not some kind of revelation.
The fool by definition is someone who blindly believes something without evidence, simply because his grandmother and a 2,000 year old book of myths told him to.
The fool claims to know when in reality has no idea.
Love the message, but slow the fuck down! Quit using your hands so much, it is no wonder that some people don't or won't listen to you. You are like preacher shoving a message down folks throats! Even as an atheist, I find you hard to listen to! You sound like a hell-fire and brimstone evangelist putting out your word! Just tell it like it is in a calm, rational, informative manner. You will get a much more receptive and attentive audience! I respect what you are attempting to do, but slow down!
@UnIndio Actually, I love who I am. I am not going to change because someone on the internet doesn't like it. There are TONS of people who talk slowly and calmly about these things, keeping their hands calmly at their sides. So why would I pretend to be like everyone else when I'm not? I think it's terribly rude of you to demand that someone change who they are simply because it's not your taste. If I'm not your kind of person, then please feel free to pay absolutely no attention to me.
@CompletelyLovely Dang, Girl! Don't ever change anything about yourself. Don't change how fast you speak. Don't stop waving your hands. And above all, for the love of God ... er, maybe Buddha or Zeus ... Don't ever lose that brilliant smile of yours! Every time you smile, I swear the luminosity in my room actually got cranked up a notch! Gee, you reckon that's absolute proof that there is really a god??!!! :-) Namaste.
@CompletelyLovely Well, I can`t judge who you are, but your way of presenting your view of live and the world was, well, completeley lovely. I totally agree that there is nothing that is even close to being as fascinating as reality, and I thank the great Yuyu on the mountain every day that I am in a position to learn and understand something about that. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with us.
@UnIndio Wow - you sure put a lot of time into reviewing other peoples videos that they put alot of time and effort into, I think its only fair that someone return the favor so i will review your videos that you have put time into like everyone else......................oh you don't have any.... hmmmmm well um .....hey good luck at the "Jealous of other peoples Talent" Awards - You got my vote!
@UnIndio I disagree, I am more militant then her, and I have had results in the real world. Fundy's are not receptive no matter what your approach is, mocking is all that is left with delusional people that have made up their mind that their invisible friends are real. I like her tactics.
@UnIndio I think the reason this woman is so fast talking, is because she is no longer weighted down with religious bunk. She is fun to listen too, in my opinion, but she also has a good message.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You will then be able to test and approve God's Plan for Your Life which is His good, pleasing and perfect will. -- (Romans 12:2)
@saintpine we have to face up to reality. You are never going to get a society where everyone ends up with a adequate pay package. This is just unrealistic.
Someone has to take charge. What exactly are you going to do if in 50 years time if your country becomes an Islamic state and atheists are pushed to one side.
If you dont take control of your country using some force then your never going to achieve anything. You will always be the slave.
@saintpine work unions have not always been successful.
Businesses. Industries etc.. are there to make money. They are not charity organisations. Their sole purpose is to make a profit. The only way to make profit is by exploitation. Cheap labour etc... Paying employers good wages is the quickest way to bankrupt your business. All the top profit making businesses are successful because they exploit.
2. "work unions have not always been successful. Businesses. Industries etc.. are there to make money. They are not charity organisations."
What's this nonsense all about?
I'm talking about way too low, illegal wages.
My sister worked for €4 (about $5) an hour cleaning in a hotel, no lunch, no contract advantages (pension, social service, payed holiday, bonus), a minimum union limit would be the equivalent of about €15 in Italy,
@saintpine I did mention the businesses that surivive tend to be those that exploit people like your sister. The hotel industries you mentioned, even if one hotel paid a fair wage of 15 euros. I am sure another hotel will try and under cut your hotel in order to make a bigger profit. That is the nature of business. Survival of the strongest.
@Nuron666 "The hotel industries you mentioned, even if one hotel paid a fair wage of 15 euros. I am sure another hotel will try and under cut your hotel in order to make a bigger profit"
In Europe, minimum wages are not on the free market, you cannot play around with these things, businesses need to follow the legal rules on an even playground or they will be in deep trouble. There is no legal way that a competitor can offer a lower wage than the national union contract.
@saintpine when I mentioned taking control. I was talking about Atheists taking control by keeping out unwanted foreign religions like Islam from entering secular based countries. You need to discriminate and keep problematic religions out.
I know it goes against the atheist principles.
If you dont take a stand, then religions like Islam will take over and they are not going to give atheists the time of day
@saintpine I kind of agree with you when you say there should be no religious schools, no segregations by religion, separation state /religion etc.etc.etc..
My concern is, even if you get Christians to submit to your ideas. I very much doubt you could persuade Muslims, Jews and other faiths to submit.
@saintpine if your going to have a atheistic society than you are going to have to come up with a political system.
You cant just simply sit on the fence and talk about a few simple issues here and there.
Your going to have to deal with issues like religious practices like Muslims wearing the Burkha, Halal meat practices. Accomodating foreign religious cultures.
This is the main problem with Atheism, it has no idea on how to deal with a complex society
@Nuron666 "This is the main problem with Atheism, it has no idea on how to deal with a complex society"
You still cannot understand a simple concept.
Atheism is not a religion, it’s not a life philosophy, it offers nothing, its not in competition with religion or politics, its ONLY ONE simple claim.
I don’t live as an atheist; I don’t want an atheist society whatever that should mean.
I couldn't give a shit if you believe in Jesus, spiderman or Santa Clause, just keep it to yourself.
"Your going to have to deal with issues like religious practices"
How do you suggest we deal with this?
We have already dealt with the Christians practices in the past, like Slavery, woman’s rights, stoning to death, working on the Sabbath etc.
Christianity is not a political system, most of the bibles “laws” would be laughable to today’s standards, and 10.000 pages of laws are missing in the bible.
@saintpine so basically what your saying is atheists have no backbone. They simply sit on the fence and watch. They say a few wise words and thats all we are going to get from you lot.
Look people want leadership, they want guidance, They want a decent government with laws to keep criminals in prison. They want a good quality of life.
You got nothing to offer only to make the secular society even worse.
@Nuron666 we are one of the most multicultural nations in the world. We are also one of the least religious. This has been the case for at least 100 years. We have one of the highest standards of living in the world.
It will be the same in "5 or 10 years".
Brushing that aside because it doesn't fit your preconcieved notions is odd.
@TheDharmawheel let me just remind you that the real Austrialians. The ABORIGINES never got to decide whether they want all these foreigners from Europe, Asia and Africa coming over and occupy their land.
Its interesting how we never see ABORIGINES on your television shows like NEIGHBOURS or HOME and AWAY.
Lets not forget your ancestors stole this land from the ABORIGINES. Killing and raping them.
So you need to think about the hypocrisy your spreading
@Nuron666 what? so now you flip onto indigenous issues because you're wrong about secular government. Of course this is stolen land. I acknowledge that too and am an advocate of reconciliation.
That however does not change what i said in my last post. You were wrong, lashing out about what's shown on Australian TV (like its reality) doesn't change reality it just makes you look like a fool.
by the way i believe it was YOUR ancestors that invaded this land and many others. : )
@TheDharmawheel my point is, you are not indigenous to Australia. You dont have the right to create this secular society without asking the indigenous population.
The same with the UK. You have a minority of middle class people who have decided they are going to go against the majority opinion and create this secular multicultural society without asking for permission.
@TheDharmawheel the problem is, you and the liberal sorts maybe happy with the secular multicultural system.
But you have to remember your creating conflict by ignoring those that have been against this whole ideology. This creates racial tension and it makes it impossible to bring about a peaceful society based on mutual respect
@Nuron666 except, as i already stated, that is not the case here. You may imagine it is from where you are. I am actually here and i can tell you that any tension is in a minority.
People who oppose multiculturalism exist, sure, but they have the option and the right to live the way they want to live and no one is being forced to change their lifestyle, values and ideals because they live alongside other cultures.
@Nuron666 you are flip flopping on what "the problem" is. I still don't understand your objection to a country that you don't live in (and have probably never been to based on your assumptions) having a societal structure that works and is, for the most part, fairly harmonious? Australia has a different society and a different culture from the UK.
ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment or suffering. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology)

SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE could not have sustained itself eternally because of entropy (even in an open system). Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)
EINSTEIN CONFIRMED that space and time are just as physical as matter. That's why space and time can be altered by gravity, and space produces particles. Einstein's equations show that the universe couldn’t be eternal. It had a beginning. Einstein believed, because of science, in the existence of God behind the origin and order of the universe. He didn't believe in a personal God like Christians do, but he did believe science pointed to the existence of an all powerful and intelligent Creator
THE SCIENTIFIC CASE AGAINST ATHEISM: Please read this Internet article of mine published in Russia's English Pravda. It will be a real eye-opener for all who think belief in a Creator is merely subjective blind faith. Also read my article, LIFE ON MARS NO SURPRISE (In the Earth's past there was powerful volcanic activity which spewed life-containing dirt and rocks (meteors) into outer space. Mars may literally have millions of tons of Earth soil)
NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Only evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). How were species living and reproducing if their vital structures, organs, reproductive systems hadn't evolved yet? Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic/biological similarities between species
DAWKINS, HITCHENS, AND HAWKING REFUSE TO DEBATE with creationists who are SCIENTISTS, such as the scientists at The Institute for Creation Research. Dawkins and his friends only debate non-scientist creationists. Read articles by scientists supporting creation at The Institute for Creation Research site. Read analysis from creation scientists about the latest news on fossils, genetics, astronomy, etc. that you won't read in the main stream media. Visit the Institute for Creation Research site.
INTELLIGENT DESIGN ON ANOTHER PLANET? Imagine finding a planet where robots are programmed to make other robots just like themselves from raw materials. Now, imagine an alien scientist visiting the planet and, after studying these robots, comes to the conclusion that because science can explain how these robots work, function, and reproduce there's no reason to believe there was an intelligent designer behind them! Read my Internet article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science simply is knowledge based on observation. No one observed the universe coming by chance or by design, by creation or by macro-evolution. These are positions of faith. The issue is which faith the scientific evidence best supports. Natural laws can explain how an airplane or a cell works, but it's irrational to believe that mere undirected natural laws can bring about either. Read my Internet article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
SCIENTISTS HAVE NEVER CREATED LIFE. And, even if they do it won't be by chance but by intelligent design. By genetically engineering already existing forms of life, scientists have produced new forms of life, but they did not produce these new life forms from non-living matter. Even in synthetic life, scientists design and build DNA from scratch, through intelligent design, and then insert their man-made DNA into an already living cell. Read my article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
THE ODDS of the sequence of molecules in a cell coming together by chance are similar to the odds of magnetic letters randomly bonding together in a sequence to form all the words and sentences in a dictionary. Without the right sequence, a cell's molecules won't work. Amino acids can come by chance but not proteins. Without DNA there can be no proteins and vice versa. Gradually won't do. It's all at once or not at all for a cell's survival. Read my article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
NATURAL SELECTION DOESN'T PRODUCE ANYTHING. It can only "select" from what is produced that has survival value. If a variation occurs that helps a species survive, that survival is called being "selected." That's all it is. There's no conscious selection by nature. It's a passive process. Natural selection is a figure of speech. The term itself is a tautology. Natural selection only operates once there is life and reproduction, not before. Read my article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM.
NATURAL SELECTION IS NO BLIND WATCHMAKER because it can only "select," not produce or arrange. If a variation survives, that's called being "selected." Natural selection operates only once there is life and reproduction, not before, so it couldn't have been involved in life's origins. A partially-evolved cell (an oxymoron) would quickly disintegrate. It couldn't wait ("survive") millions of years for chance to complete it and then make it alive!

ARE FOSSILS REALLY MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD? Popular Internet article examines assumptions concerning fossil deposition as well as built-in assumptions involved in modern radiometric dating (not used for dating fossils but other rocks), and arguments from starlight and time. Discusses lack of true transitional forms in the fossil record and lack of "age" sequence of the fossil layers. Discussion of mixed species (i.e. dinosaur, reptile, mammal fossils in the same stratum).

IMAGINE A FISH WITH PART FINS, part feet with the fins evolving (transitioning) into feet. What survival benefit would there be? The fish couldn't use its fins or its feet, and there are no fossils showing such a creature ever existed. They only exist on automobile bumper stickers! There are no true transitional forms, either living or fossilized. Evolutionists realize this fact! Read my Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!
APES ARE QUITE COMFORTABLE IN HOW THEY WALK, just as humans are quite comfortable in how they walk. Even a slight change in the position of a muscle or bone, for either, would be excruciatingly painful and would not be an advantage for survival. There's no hard evidence that humans evolved from ape-like creatures anymore than there's hard evidence that apes evolved from four-legged-pawed dog-like creatures. Read Internet article: MISSING LINKS THAT NEVER WERE.
GENETIC INFORMATION CANNOT HAPPEN BY CHANCE, so it's more logical to believe that genetic similarities between all forms of life are due to a common Designer who designed similar functions for similar purposes. It doesn't mean all forms of life are biologically related! Also, "Junk DNA" isn't junk. These non-coding segments of DNA have recently been found to be vital in regulating gene expression. Read my popular Internet article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
ALL REAL EVOLUTION ( i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.) in nature is the expression, over time, of already existing genes. Evolution is possible only if there’s information (genes) directing it. Only variations of already existing genes are possible, which means only limited evolution and adaptations are possible. Nature has no ability to invent new genes via random mutations caused by random environmental forces. That’s evolutionary faith, not science. Read my article, WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!
DO EYES CARRY SCARS OF EVOLUTION? Read this fantastic Internet article by biologist and creationist Brian Thomas. Thomas refutes every argument of a "flawed" design for the eye, and explains how and why the so-called flaw is actually the best thing for the eye. Read the article! It's amazing what facts evolutionists will ignore. Numerous times evolutionists have been proven wrong about their interpretation of a structure as being flawed or useless.
My turn to the dark-side (how the christians view me) has been so much more productive in my life as a whole. All those things you were talking about like "God will take care of me" made me lazy, overall. Since starting college at the age of 32 I started thinking smarter and realized that I am in control of my own life. My quality of life has improved 10 fold because I've taken control of my life. I feel more free, in control, and like you said, I'm no longer scared of my mortality. Well said!!
You're a sick, mind control victum. This was done to you by the enemies of all that is eternal and righteous. Repent and be baptized in the blood of Christ. The satanic Talmudic freaks that want to kill 90% of the world and have the earth all to themselves, and right now because you're cute they'll keep you around until you lose your looks, inculcated you into this way of thinking. Snap out of it, your under an evil spell. Read "Jewish Supremacism" by Dr. David Duke. God Bless you cutie.
And I want to say that atheism never made me fully happy and appreciative of life (But it was a doorway needed to get to that place)... This might be controversial, but psychedelic/Hallucinogenic/Entheogenic plants gave me this weird thing we rarely see today.... A real smile caused by a warm and friendly heart! ... Hail the mushroom!
As a Norwegian and a European It's so funny to observe the Atheism vs. Christianity thing going on in the US... Mainly because secularization is at a more mature stage here and thus religion being totally laughable to a lot of Europeans... BTW ... You're funny the way you express and verbalize (in a good way).Take care dear friend... but don't get too atheist-obsessed either , it can manifest into a belief system in of itself, which is what we're trying to avoid right? ;)
Holy shit, You're Canadian! ha-ha. I couldn't put my finger on the accent - shows how little exposure I have to the central part of the country. WOO NEWFOUNDLAND! ha-ha.
you have great hair show us your tits!not to mention you get to keep your 10% from your hard days work and not turn it over to some man who pretends to be a man of the bible!
@toppgunn2232 Well, the (US) government takes about 35% or more of your check every pay period. We don't have a choice in the matter. The church only asks for 10%, if at all. It's optional. I've been going to churches for about 20 years and not one time have I ever tithed. No one (not even the deacons, senior pastors) has ever condemned or browbeat me about it either. It's not about money or putting butts in seats. It's about sharing a God who loves us and transferring that love toward others.
dedicated to an Atheist , the most moral and decent fun loving supportive friend i know! can an Atheist be so strait up awesome and effective in their living , they get so appreciative, they come full circle to begin and appreciate all their gifts , they could actually start to or re believe in a God? How far down the road does successful atheism take a person before they start to feel a revision in their mind , careful CW ! you just might get so happy it overwhelms you !
I'm not an atheist, I have no religion either, my thinking is that "I don't know" I do feel that our physical bodies are not what we really are, it's very hard for me to conceptualize that our consciousness just blinks into blackness/nothingness after our physical bodies dying.
life simply is better nothing to fear. took up studying the 'heretics' of faiths at my Lutheran college and realised a unifying theme... they all spoke of advanced technologies which made sense of the world... all the things which have the religious cunts afraid of science today. fear... of not having the control over the minds of people who understand the 'mysteries' of the universe.
may more minds wake up. i'd just ignore the trolls. focus those who r looking 4 a stable way out.
You're really cool. I am lucky enough to think like you from the beginning, but it's always great to see someone being freed from all the religious nonsense. Keep living free and keep that great spitit alive. Love your sense of humor. Well done!!!
I can understand being turned off by the external, orthodox mainstream expressions of Christianity (and other Western religions, or Eastern for that matter). But there are quite lovely, sophisticated, subtle, and sublime religious expressions in the world that are an entirely different perspective than Christianity. Religion isn't the problem; people's smallness, misinterpretations, and lack of real understanding are the problem.
The only religion acceptable for me is the one where you believe in yourself and the people around you, the forces of nature and all the beauty it has to offer, naturally since the beginning of time. There is still a lot to discover but let's go fot it...instead to believing in supernatural and illogical stuff just because someone tells you to so. Stop being afraid and face reality.
@banzaiduck You obviously didn't get my point. Sure, there was nothing standing in my way. But I found that I had more passion and ambition once I became an atheist, and therefore my life took a much more amazing and fulfilling path. I'm not sure why I'm bothering to reiterate this for you, though. I made that point perfectly clear, and you seem to have deliberately chosen to give a snarky "sigh" instead of paying attention to what I was actually saying.
@CompletelyLovely Your point is that atheism made your life better, but the examples you refer to in your vid has nothing to do with atheism. Atheism is not a way of life, it is disbelief in god or gods.
@CompletelyLovely You are truely retarded. After you finely realized that your last church was retarded, you found a new church that you don't don't realize is retarded yet. The youtube atheists usually post videos like yours for about a year before they realize they are preaching to Believers whose belief isnt based on reason. Than they realize that they need to get a life; they realize that Solomon was wiser than all the others.
Atheism isn't a church. Calling atheism a church or a religion is like calling the "off" button on your TV a channel. Atheism embraces reason and logic.... religion does not. Got it now?
I found the opposite to be true when i became an atheist. People that I had thought were nonbelievers because of how they lived and what they said were actually christians and I didn't find out until after I became open to them about not believing in a god, I was very confused for a spell.
... *raised eyebrow* Are you Canadian? Just askin'. :)
I never "became" an atheist, exactly, cuz I never was religious. I spent a tiny bit of time as a naturalistic pantheist, but all I was doing was grafting a layer of Special™ onto the natural world; that was EASY to give up.
@BionicDance Soooooooo Canadian. I bleed maple syrup and have a unusual fondness for beavers for a straight girl. I sort of went through a pantheistic phase, too. It's a good stepping stone down from full blown Jesus-freakdom. As I started realizing how amazing the natural world is, I ascribed a sense of magic to it because it just doesn't seem possible at first for everything to be that amazing on its own. But it is! Which is a fantastic thing to realize.
@CompletelyLovely Ain't nuffin' wrong with Canada that warming it up and nuking Quebec won't fix!
And, hey...the latter might accomplish the former! :D
And, yes...it's pretty fantastic to realize that the universe can be what it is without magic. I still can't explain the Big Bang, but after THAT, everything is all natural...and that's nifty-keen.
I think god-botherers don't like how complicated it all is, and want a simpler answer; s'why they make up god and genesis, instead of buying science.
Awesome! In your videos, almost no matter what you are talking about, you are are so full of joy and excitement, it makes me feel good and puts a smile on my face! Thanks!
@ CompletelyLovely When you're right, you're right... and you, you're always right!
(and pretty)
It's ironic that creationists can't conceive evolutionary time scales, yet embrace eternal life. An infinate afterlife is a rather poorly thought out idea that appeals to human greed. We cannot even comprehend a million years much less infinity and infinity after that and... you get the point. It sounds horrific to me!
Thank you Heather, from the WeAreAtheism Team... you are already inspiring people. Thanks for getting in on the ground floor. Full launch on Friday... hope it goes viral.
You are a lazy fool, if you are not talking about falsehoods of institutionalized superstition(religion) and engage people you are not socially and morally responsible person.
It's not the fault of religious that they are religious due to childhood indoctrination, the stupidity and absurdity of such primitive beliefs was imposed on them and one would think a responsible person would consider it a duty to alleviate and/or prevent such forcing.
Ad hominem is when you say an insult and nothing else and what the hell does that have with falsehoods anyway, is English your native language?
Oh, and atheism is not a philosophical position, just like afairyism isn't and nobody is trying to institutionalize anything, you are completely incoherent.
Sorry, did you say something? I was distracted by the naked girl riding the bear.
(Now THERE'S a sentence I don't get to say nearly often enough.)

Gee heather , You can do all these great things now.

And I don't have to live my life like a condemed man looking out the window at the hangmans noose knowing everyday I'm one day closer to death.
And if your limited life is so great, then why are you wasting what time you have left making all these videos?
You are trying to hard to get people to believe you are happy.
You sound like a sad empty person trying to hide the fact of what you are.

“from that point on I have always known, in my heart & soul, that God exists.”
That’s your explanation: if you were a Catholic, Muslim or an atheist, you would come to another convincement.
I’ve had many incredible experiences around the 10 to 16 years old and in my early 30’s.
As an adult I “knew” it was all in the brain and I learnt to rationalize it, I later understood that the phenomena was amplified when I had digestion problems, and so I knew when it was due.

I agree, it’s not a competing religion a person could even be a "Christian atheist", follows the Christian tradition, follows most of Mr Jesus teachings, yet doesn't believe he is divine and doesn't believe in the existence of any deity.

The problem with Atheism is, the birth rate tends to go down.
So as the population becomes smaller, governments start pulling in migrants from abroad in order to fill in many of the jobs.
So you end up with religions from foreign countries, such as Islam filling up the country. So you then end up with a conflict.
Your basically replacing one religion i.e. Christianity with Islam.

toppgunn2232 5 months ago
@toppgunn2232 Well, the (US) government takes about 35% or more of your check every pay period. We don't have a choice in the matter. The church only asks for 10%, if at all. It's optional. I've been going to churches for about 20 years and not one time have I ever tithed. No one (not even the deacons, senior pastors) has ever condemned or browbeat me about it either. It's not about money or putting butts in seats. It's about sharing a God who loves us and transferring that love toward others.

dedicated to an Atheist , the most moral and decent fun loving supportive friend i know! can an Atheist be so strait up awesome and effective in their living , they get so appreciative, they come full circle to begin and appreciate all their gifts , they could actually start to or re believe in a God? How far down the road does successful atheism take a person before they start to feel a revision in their mind , careful CW ! you just might get so happy it overwhelms you !

I'm not an atheist, I have no religion either, my thinking is that "I don't know" I do feel that our physical bodies are not what we really are, it's very hard for me to conceptualize that our consciousness just blinks into blackness/nothingness after our physical bodies dying.

life simply is better nothing to fear. took up studying the 'heretics' of faiths at my Lutheran college and realised a unifying theme... they all spoke of advanced technologies which made sense of the world... all the things which have the religious cunts afraid of science today. fear... of not having the control over the minds of people who understand the 'mysteries' of the universe.
may more minds wake up. i'd just ignore the trolls. focus those who r looking 4 a stable way out.

I can understand being turned off by the external, orthodox mainstream expressions of Christianity (and other Western religions, or Eastern for that matter). But there are quite lovely, sophisticated, subtle, and sublime religious expressions in the world that are an entirely different perspective than Christianity. Religion isn't the problem; people's smallness, misinterpretations, and lack of real understanding are the problem.

@moonflowerscorpio
The only religion acceptable for me is the one where you believe in yourself and the people around you, the forces of nature and all the beauty it has to offer, naturally since the beginning of time. There is still a lot to discover but let's go fot it...instead to believing in supernatural and illogical stuff just because someone tells you to so. Stop being afraid and face reality.

banzaiduck 6 months ago
@banzaiduck You obviously didn't get my point. Sure, there was nothing standing in my way. But I found that I had more passion and ambition once I became an atheist, and therefore my life took a much more amazing and fulfilling path. I'm not sure why I'm bothering to reiterate this for you, though. I made that point perfectly clear, and you seem to have deliberately chosen to give a snarky "sigh" instead of paying attention to what I was actually saying.

@CompletelyLovely Your point is that atheism made your life better, but the examples you refer to in your vid has nothing to do with atheism. Atheism is not a way of life, it is disbelief in god or gods.
banzaiduck 6 months ago
@banzaiduck My examples directly confront how lacking a belief in gods improved my life. You're either thick or a prick.

@CompletelyLovely You are truely retarded. After you finely realized that your last church was retarded, you found a new church that you don't don't realize is retarded yet. The youtube atheists usually post videos like yours for about a year before they realize they are preaching to Believers whose belief isnt based on reason. Than they realize that they need to get a life; they realize that Solomon was wiser than all the others.

Atheism isn't a church. Calling atheism a church or a religion is like calling the "off" button on your TV a channel. Atheism embraces reason and logic.... religion does not. Got it now?

I found the opposite to be true when i became an atheist. People that I had thought were nonbelievers because of how they lived and what they said were actually christians and I didn't find out until after I became open to them about not believing in a god, I was very confused for a spell.

... *raised eyebrow* Are you Canadian? Just askin'. :)
I never "became" an atheist, exactly, cuz I never was religious. I spent a tiny bit of time as a naturalistic pantheist, but all I was doing was grafting a layer of Special™ onto the natural world; that was EASY to give up.
BionicDance 6 months ago
@BionicDance Soooooooo Canadian. I bleed maple syrup and have a unusual fondness for beavers for a straight girl. I sort of went through a pantheistic phase, too. It's a good stepping stone down from full blown Jesus-freakdom. As I started realizing how amazing the natural world is, I ascribed a sense of magic to it because it just doesn't seem possible at first for everything to be that amazing on its own. But it is! Which is a fantastic thing to realize.

@CompletelyLovely Ain't nuffin' wrong with Canada that warming it up and nuking Quebec won't fix!
And, hey...the latter might accomplish the former! :D
And, yes...it's pretty fantastic to realize that the universe can be what it is without magic. I still can't explain the Big Bang, but after THAT, everything is all natural...and that's nifty-keen.
I think god-botherers don't like how complicated it all is, and want a simpler answer; s'why they make up god and genesis, instead of buying science.

@ CompletelyLovely When you're right, you're right... and you, you're always right!
(and pretty)
It's ironic that creationists can't conceive evolutionary time scales, yet embrace eternal life. An infinate afterlife is a rather poorly thought out idea that appeals to human greed. We cannot even comprehend a million years much less infinity and infinity after that and... you get the point. It sounds horrific to me!
Thanks for your insight!

You are a lazy fool, if you are not talking about falsehoods of institutionalized superstition(religion) and engage people you are not socially and morally responsible person.
It's not the fault of religious that they are religious due to childhood indoctrination, the stupidity and absurdity of such primitive beliefs was imposed on them and one would think a responsible person would consider it a duty to alleviate and/or prevent such forcing.

Ad hominem is when you say an insult and nothing else and what the hell does that have with falsehoods anyway, is English your native language?
Oh, and atheism is not a philosophical position, just like afairyism isn't and nobody is trying to institutionalize anything, you are completely incoherent.
