OH MAN this video made me cry. I wish I could share this on my facebook page. It tells so beautifully WHY I am an atheist. It's gentle, logical, complete and inarguable. I love TRUTH beyond all else. One of the first things I knew about myself was that I abhorred a lie. Yet I was also a fundamental Christian for 30 some years. I wish I didn't have to keep my nonbelief secret. Id lose work and friends. I already have. Thank you for your bravery and video work!
There are no atheists at 30,000 feet ;-) Jesus was an alien who ascended to heaven in his space craft. And the ark of the covenant still speaks according to the guys who guard it in secret. Brilliant scalar technology.
this did not come up in my subscription video list wth??? the ending with the question "do you?" gave me chills! this video is awesome from beginning to end. content, music everything is in sync! very awesome indeed! thank you!
this has got to be the most reasoned argument ive ever came across. that truly nails religion to its cross. NOTIDELUSION, take a bow, you are a voice of reason.
I care if my beliefs are true. I care if my methods are sound. So that once I’ve discovered the truth about gods, I can use the same methods to discover the truth about dragons, unicorns, or wherever my interest leads me.
This was a *superb* video, Not1delusion. As always, you speak with an eloquent and powerful voice. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this, my friend. And a Happy New Year to you and yours!
Your best video so far, I think! An important message to be spread and a message presented in a way that is most likely to reach the people who'll profit the most from it: thinking theists. thanks.
I've been putting off doing my video. Your's is great. Mine will be about an epiphany I had when I was eleven, when my pastor insisted that we wouldn't find proof for God and we had to rely on faith.Till then I assumed they had proof. Since I have read a lot of stuff disproving the Bible. I also find it ironic that so many non Jewish people believe that they could be saved when the Bible clearly says that the Jews are God's people whether your talking about Abraham, Moses, David or Jesus.
Hey, bravo! Very well said I agree with you I couldn't have said any better, if you read my profile on my channel you may find that we are very alike....;-))
i echo your assertation fully!i am nearly ready in my life to come 'out' to my friends and family (other than my husband and children, who already know of my 'deconversion"), and once i am committed i will probably link this video as a reasoned and respectful presentation!
I don't recall deciding not to believe in God. I just recall being uncomfortable with group prayer, but being expected to go along with it. I don't recall ever really thinking about it when I was young. I was in the bible belt at the time, and I think I just avoided the subject of religion. It wasn't until I got older and got tired of people trying to push religion on me that I gave the subject any thought.
I'm very impressed with anybody who can go from being a serious fundamentalist believer to being an atheist. So few people manage to do it that I usually just figure that people are just going to believe what they want to believe, and it's pointless to debate them. It takes real strength of character to be able to question your beliefs, admit that you were wrong, realize that you don't have your imaginary friend to back you up, and face the reaction of theist friends and relatives.
Superb video. I love the comparison with driving a car with your eyes shut and fingers in ear. Also the point about how people defend their beliefs — emotion, lies and appeals to authority have been huge motifs with the people who've approached to challenge my atheism, and I know figure hugely in other people's experience too.
I find it fascinating how many people traveled that same familiar path. I wonder, how many christians, or religious people in general, sincerely set out searching for truth and ended up atheist or agnostic. That was my experience and the experience of some personal friends. If I learned anything during my 30+ years as a christian, it is that if one thing is not important in religion, it is truth.
@th30r3m It's interesting to hear that someone who was a Christian for over 30 years became an atheist. I was starting to think that kind of thing was nearly impossible. It's just hard to accept that you've been deluded your entire life, especially when you've grown up and matured with that delusion.
I think of it with an extension of the Matrix analogy. They don't usually take people out of the matrix past a certain age group because they are too shocked by the truth. It's too much to bear.
@Loustrikesagain It was a traumatic to say the least. I had been a seminary student at one time, working on a doctorate in religious studies. I knew about a lot of the problems with the Bible and theology, but repressed those in favor of faith. During a time of extreme stress in my life the cognitive dissonance became too much to bear, and I had to take a good, hard look at reality.
I grew up in a non-religious environment, and during most of my childhood I didn't give religion much thought as I didn't really know anyone who took religion seriously. The big eye-opener for me was when muslims began to move into my neighborhood, that was when I found out there were people who were VERY serious about religion, and that the things they believed were utterly ridiculous. Having seen what indoctrination of children can do, I became much more vocal as an atheist.
If you are a true believer it is VERY difficult to even question your beliefs.
It takes courage to honestly weigh the evidence without apologizing to your imaginary friend that you are doing so. To even question the existence of his/her god is equal to blasphemy which is punished by eternal torture in hell.
If you have been through this then you know that it is true. The brainwashing is very hard to overcome until you realize that you were indoctinated & decide you want truth.
Very well written. As you said most eloquently, there are clear actions, strategies ANYONE should use if they're looking for truth, and one "side" clearly makes use of them while the other clearly does the opposite (and gets all pissy when it's pointed out), just like a humiliated kid caught in a whopper of a lie. It's so stark, so obvious. And all the histrionic arm-waving and hyper-sensitive religious outrage in the world can't cover it up.
But when you're a shaman, the only way to embrace rationality is to admit to yourself that you have some sort of schizophrenic condition. And I DO NOT!
But I do have the clarity to know that there's no good reason to think there's a god, and even less good reason to take the word of someone who says there is.
Now for the video responses that dictate you must account for the 'value' of 'truth' which they believe is imposable without simultaneously validating objective morality and therefor a deity.
I also wanted to mention that I'm not sure about the choice of your title and although it matches the video well, it's a term that has been hijacked by the conspiracy theory nut jobs; Those who tend to believe everything they hear as long as it's anti-establishment and looks true enough without careful examination. But they don't actually seek real truth, they just seek to be non-conformist. In their minds, everything must be a secretly designed event and they never accept coincidence or nature.
@Octoschizare I agree with your position, but I have to say that I fully support the choice of title. If anything, it cannot be permitted that the wording of the title become the province of such people who willingly disconnect from reality in those ways. It's high-time to take it back for its rightful purpose...the discovery, expansion, and understanding of genuine truth supported by demonstrable facts and evidence.
This is the video we can send to curious religious people who honestly want to understand your position, and this should come before jumping straight into any debunking.
@dookiecheez Agreed, it's hard to imagine. My understanding of it is that by being atheist (or pretty much being anything that their cohorts won't approve of), some see themselves as sinning against the God of the people they're rebelling against. Kind of like, rebelling against society for it's ridiculous beliefs. It doesn't necessarily imply that the God is real, just that people think that the God is real, and from those people's perspective, the atheist is sinning. Bleh, poorly explained.
@dookiecheez I'm not sure sin is the right word, unless you define it as "wronging somebody else". In that case, I as an atheist believe in sin. If you are referring to sin as disobeying God, then of course you would need to believe in God in the first place. I have seen both definitions used.
Actually sin is a violation of a moral law imposed by a divine authority. So without a divine authorities moral law there is no violation that we call sin.
@dookiecheez I grew up a Christian and heard many different definitions of "sin". Like many words in the English language, it can have more than one definition :) I know you weren't claiming that...I just wanted to clarify for anybody else reading, because some people DO make that assumption.
@dookiecheez Also, defining sin in this way does not negate the existence of evil, or of wrongdoing. That is, just because I don't believe in a divine authority does not mean that I think all morality is completely arbitrary. We as humans all have a responsibility to ourselves and to each other. That comes with being a member of the human race.
@dookiecheez Yes, to me there is an atheistic conecpt of sin. If you do something that doesn't make you happy, or infringes the rights of others, that is sin. We can eat meat on Fridays, though :P
V aproach religion in d quest 4truth, dragged in2 it without any doubts even b4 understanding it.
Truth doesn't seep in unless u starts questining religious text. All religious text r indoctrined condemning apostate banishing them into eternal hell except buddhism. FEAR's the weapon.Unless u r prepared 2 accept responsibility for ur own actions by means of saying "I except consequences of my actions 4 it's wat i've done" thn u'll be able to free urself frm d delusion of religions.
Most people call what they WANT to be true the "truth".
I would LOVE to believe in an afterlife. I would absolutly LOVE to believe that we can go to a "perfect" place for eternity after we die, but I don't because there is no good reason to...
It sucks, but that's the way it is.
Just because it sucks that we won't spend eternity in bliss doesn't mean the life we're living right now has to suck.
Actually, it means we only have a limited amount of time to be happy, make the most of it!
I find it strange that a simple idea, the truth matters, is not a commonly held perspective. Or, is it that most of us do not know how to determine the truth?
I think it might be the latter. As evidence, I remember how I jumped on any self-described, 'scientific' study that showed some possible mystical explanation of...well anything. I really wanted to believe! Learning about the strength of methodological naturalism destroyed any other method of explainin', if you know what I mean.
Excellent! Your path to atheism is much like my own. Like you, I was once a christian
but found my beliefs were incompatible with what I learned from studying physics. I had a decision to make, to follow the evidence wherever it lead or to keep cherished fables. I'm glad I chose truth over superstition.
