@lgvmd y r u so rude

[lgvmd]

Jesus bones have been found and the vatican is trying to keep that under the table so fuck Jesus.

[MadameChocolate1]

Since the day ben died i thought of ihm everyday. And i don't know why.. i cried every time. i have read sooo many posts on his facebookpage and at twitterposts from is closest friends. I'm stalking a dead boy from texas a place where i probably never go to and i dont know him, his family oder his friends. But I'm as sad as it would be my best friend. I'll never forget you ben breedlove. you are my every time hero. rest in peace.

1 of the dislikes might be that "Trullzy" person from facebook.

[MrMikesrighttogame]

@everyone saying science can stop death... First I'm going to state to people like paulstrong that I am a Christian but without bringing religion into it I want to say this... If science some how cures every disease what about age? Eventually organs are going to be too old to work.

[an824710]

@MrMikesrighttogame True. Science can only do so much.

[karakashia13]

So saddd!

[DanielleLee258]

His family is in my prayers. </3

[clairbear57]

[Scizzo3]

R.I.P. BEN. THIS IS AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY AND YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE THIS FAMILY HAS FOR ONE ANOTHER. GOD BLESS.

The video is so inspiring indeed. A lot of people in this life, take life for granted.

He made people see that in his short life, he had a message to share to world.

His body is gone, but his spirit lives on to the eternal life. About Angels and God,

i do believe in them!!

[CossMyNameStephanie]

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

What infuriates me about this is that there are millions of convicts who could have had their hearts harvested for this kid. But noooooo, we have to pay over 100 thousand dollars per year, PER INMATE to keep them alive. Meanwhile, Ben dies.

[ingridsdreamteam]

rest in peace Ben

[MissBrianna17]

* Ben -3

[MissBrianna17]

I cry every time I watch his video. His message gives me a different perspective on life. Instead of turning to suicide, I should enjoy life as it is. Unlike Ben his life was taken away, and I shouldn't take life for granted, as I have in the past. He's in a peaceful place now. And I do believe there is a god, angels, and a heaven and I can't wait to go there someday.

R.I.P. Ben -3

[izzielue97]

I'm crying more over him than other people I have lost in my life. He is a real hero and change my view on life completly. I can't wait to be up there someday.

[ChristianSaveAmerica]

@izzielue97

We all have a purpose in life and you gotta do what God calls you to do and not worry so much. Do what you're supposed to do in life and make each day count. Remember, you don't know when God decides when it's you're time to go, so read your King James Bible and learn what He wants you to do.

[JPHET37]

God has a special message for all us "Do you believe in Angels or God"?

In loving memory of my two brothers "Oh God" I do!

R.I.P Ben

[spottedoctopus274]

Ben has inspired me soooo much.... it's actually unbelievable.. RIP <3

[mobus1471]

You have blessed us all with your message. Thank you Ben. R.I.P. You are an angel. I believe you are at peace now. Many, Many Thanks Ben....You are truly special.

[xNIKEGOLFx]

OMG I balled in this video too. Ive cried so much today. RIP ben

[TaylorSwiftieFan13]

Rest in peace Ben. smile from heaven. Well all love you and always will <3

[JavaKava88]

R.I.P Ben Breedlove We All Love You! <3

[AnteyPL]

One must universally admit, regardless of particular views: this MAN (i refuse to refer to him as "boy") definitely tried living for others, make most of time he had available and meet the unavoidable with dignity. He definitely matched Rudyard Kipling's manhood definition in poem "If...". I salute him - may he rest in peace !

[krazysmoothie]

God Bless him and his family.

[passionforbeautyy]

RIP <3

[DanielsSFD]

:( Ben didn't like this. Now you don't have to worry Ben and watch over us all man.

[jonathon2982]

the only reason god took ben is cause he has something better for him to do ben job is done here on earth he did what he could do now god needs him for something greater u touched a lot threw his vids now he is and angel that he belived in beliveing is not seeing but it feeling that u know something is real

[MrJFoxProductions]

@jonathon2982 What do you mean 'God took'? You don't mean with death itself do you? There's a deep, traditionally rooted religious misunderstanding by many people regarding the context of Job 1:21. Though produced by God [2 Timothy 3:16], everything in the Bible is truly stated... but not always a statement of truth, because the Bible is a inspired documentary. The contexts of 'God allowing' and 'God taking' are two completely different things. John 10:10 puts the real 'thief' on blast! :)

[jonathon2982]

so god is a proven thing thats why there is a bible ,how would u get here if he wasent real,u got trees,air,anaimals,water,the sun,the moon,stars how are all these possible not from man nore science it didnt just appear it was created thats the only proof u need

[jonathon2982]

but let me tell u with god on my side anything possible yes i wanted to go in the army sense i was a little kid and my heart conditon would not allow me but he has me alive for greater things I have played most sports in highschool wrestling,football,basketball with this heart conditon so dont tell me god isnt real or a myth when i know for a fact that he is

[jonathon2982]

my family went to church began to pray if the doctors gave up i had only one hope and that was god well after the surgery there was a small leak in the aorta vaul that they did not see they said it could later cause serious damage i am not 29 years old i have been living with that and the grace of god who never gave up on me when the doctors did so yes there is a god and he is greater and knows way more then the science people would ever know im a living proof i am short and small for my age

[jonathon2982]

I sit here and read comments about god and science what bothers me is that god is real i was born with the same heart conditon just mine was a little worse i also had a twin brother were identical he was much larger in height and weight.i had so many things wrong with me i had to have to open heart done i also had a vsd ventrical self defect were i could not eat my food would just come up i was so fragel the doctors have gave up they lost me 2 times during the surgey they said i would not make.

[MACHELN26]

The Amazing Part about this is that he got a preview and now he's at the happiest place he can be & to make it even better, He died on Christs' Birthday :) God bless you Ben Breedlove You are an amazing Person & the little bit of power left in your heart has supplied enough love for the thousands youve touched :)

[TheCassidia]

R.I.P Ben Breedlove

[Izmad45]

RIP ben!!he was such a good role model!!! i loved and still love him and his videos!

[hope4u69]

He did get the "perfect gift" of all..peaceful with his Maker. Thanks Ben for giving of yourself unselfishly to others so others could have peace of mind in their life and my condolences to the family.

[MissAdrianaGean]

R.I.P Ben, you've touched many hearts and I hope one day I can die with such recognition.

[cutivicki]

RIP ben you will be missed. Im praying for you and your family :)

[paulstrong123]

@brainboob

I respect your opinion brainboob, but Medical Science can not stop all of us Humans from death. We are all going to die! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

[LudiB13]

@paulstrong123

Amen bro!

R.I.P BennyMan!

[Philip02K]

@paulstrong123 The disease he had, is bad,. I have it. I have an ICD shock box. Research can stop death most of the itme. I trust in god, because he gave us science.

[RazonSuprema]

@paulstrong123 Fairy tale nonsense. The only reason people believe that is precisely because of our fear of death and the unknown. Who WOULDN'T want to have 'eternal life?' But, the fact remains that there's no evidence of any sort for that. Evidence is to be understood as something that can be verified, repeatedly and predictably. It's not hearsay, it's not cute stories of "seeing the light" and then being revived. It's more likely that those are simply the result of a...

[RazonSuprema]

@paulstrong123 ...(cont)...traumatic state of the body/brain that generates these visions, but which are ONLY that - just visions. Not real. Occam's razor dictates that such would be a more acceptable explanation, as it doesn't necessarily multiply entities, i.e., it's the one with the least unfounded assumptions.

[SeikenLegend]

@paulstrong123 LOL "I respect your opinion brainboob"

[PR0GRAMMING]

@paulstrong123

Yes, medical science could eventually halt death, as death is a process that can be understood. I'd say that eventually, many centuries in the future, people won't die.

I also find quoting the bible to support your argument to be embarrassingly childish.

Let us not quote fiction as scientific fact.

[brainboob]

Why does everything have to have religious overtones? I am sorry, this is very sad, but religion is not going to solve these problems. Only medical science can.

[ramio1983]

@brainboob Well in the end no amount of "medical science" saved him- more importantly he was at peace with his creator and taught me two things- fearlessness of death and affirmation of faith.

[brainboob]

@ramio1983

That is only because medical science has been stunted by law makers who are religious, and this has been happening for decades. It is possible that better treatment would be available today if this was not the case. I have no problem with people having their beliefs, but these types of thinkers should not be able to legislate, unless they prove that they can think outside their beliefs, for the better of humanity.

[RazonSuprema]

@brainboob BRAVO! Well said.

[14supahfly]

@brainboob There is only so much man can do in medical science. The only true healer is God. The problem with the world today is that people think they're smarter than God and don't need him. We keep pushing God away and wonder why our government and schools are going down the drain! I'm all for progressing medical science and finding a cure for diseases, but we will all die at some point. God bless Ben Breedlove and his family! RIP

[brainboob]

@14supahfly

If you want to get technical, god is not an objectively proven thing. But I do not mind people believing in that unproven thing, as long as it is not used to legislate against scientific progress. The problem is that the only pursuit of objective truth, science, is subjected to the whims of religious law makers. One day science will be able to treat this disease, and it will be a grand day for our species. And thanks to science,we can have this conversation right now.

[2ndtilag]

@brainboob

That moment will come when you will beg Him to let you in, but you will only wail and gnash your teeth. You better believe now, or you will suffer for eternity.

[brainboob]

@2ndtilag

There are other spiritual systems that do not rely on fear mongering to convey a wonderful message, such as Buddhism. All your comment alludes to is trying to induce fear in someones heart, that is a very sad approach. It is sad to convey that, without living in constant fear, one cannot reach 'salvation'. Very very sad. 

[MrJFoxProductions]

@brainboob From the time I was young I was and am into science: ornithology, meteorology, entomology, ect. and the many 'natural' 'man-made' tools that we have to measure and perceive the elements around us... yet it is proven there are frequencies that go inaudible to us, lights that go beyond our eyes, and things we'd never look for until told... such as the wonder of the human body, and what it means to give up your life for loving another. Of all our achieving, we're limited by pride!

[brainboob]

@MrJFoxProductions

Science does not claim that it has all the answers, it understands that it is in a constant state of flux, always discovering new truth which may either add to or contradict previously discovered truth. The problem I have with some belief systems is that they claim to be the sole bearers of truth, and there is little objective evidence of it. I am not anti-spiritual, but I think systems of belief are counter to spiritual experience. Science is not.

[MrJFoxProductions]

@brainboob I can relate, believe me. The more and more I watch scientific studies upon the universe, the quarks of atomic construction, the the exponentials of plant vascularity and design, I affirm the wisdom, precision, and deliberation of my 'Heavenly Father's' programming... there's nothing magical or amiss about this! BTW, I'll have very little to do with a 'religious (belief) system' [see my blogs]; I have the true spiritual experience = RELATIONSHIP with God, through His Son Jesus :).

[2ndtilag]

@14supahfly AMEN brother!

[ramio1983]

@brainboob Oh i agree its always good to think outside your box. I am a believer but it doesnt mean i dont respect and love science and all its done for the world and all the amazing thinkers that got us there.

[brainboob]

@ramio1983

Good, then you agree that when religious law makers try to stop scientific progress in the name of 'God' that it is wrong of them?

[issacky]

@brainboob The sadder thing still is that medical science cannot cure death; it can only delay it.

There is a saying that a doctor took a baby after it was born and presented it to it's parents very sadly and told them, "I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do, your child is dying."

This is true for everyone.

[brainboob]

@issacky

However, the tragedy is that thinking becomes legislated and stunts progress. In this case how religious thinking stunts scientific progress because it becomes legislated by the politicians who themselves could do without science. I do not have a problem with people believing in what comforts them, but when it prevents the liberty of science from flourishing, it is a very sad thing.

[Cheers4MyBeers]

GOD BLESS.

[21screwloose]

he is now in a better place: )

[sofieiscool04]

This is really sweet. Rest in Peace Ben Breedlove. You were too young to die:(

[redvelvetcupcakeable]

i just wanted to thank Ben. Through my favorite beauty guru, meganheartsmakeup ben is Megans friend. I suffer from an anxiety disorder and often think about and fear death. I was so afraid of dying because i didn't know what came next. I do beleive in God and after watching bens video it gave me so much hope and happiness. I am not afraid anymore. thank you Ben. Rest in peace, even though we already know you are : ) Also thank you Megan without your channel i would not know about Ben.

[beautybyhaleigh]

rest in peace ben. you touched so many hearts in your day to day life along with hearts through the internet. you sure touched mine. you thought me to not fear death and to live everyday like it's your last. you never know when it's your time to go, so i need to take full advantage of everyday, and never forget to tell the ones i care about that i love them. your time here on Earth was short, but you accomplished more than most people will in a life time. rest in paradise :)

[thescooterbelle]

What a beautiful soul. Rest in peace, Ben. We love you.

[jsphtrevino]
