Joy Behar asks, "What do you think about her saying that God is speaking to her, is she mentally ill?"
Isn't it funny that when someone speaks to God, they're "praying," so that's okay, but when someone says God is speaking to them, they're "mentally ill" or a "schizophrenic"?
@tellnet Told ya so. I'm not a coward, I just don't like to waste my time with intolerant people who can't hold an intelligible conversations, that's all.
@tellnet *intelligible conversation. Are you happy? It's called a typographical error! Must you be so pedantically concerned with proper grammar? It's YouTube, you know. Even the grammar Nazis know that, so they don't bother. Apparently, you've got some kind of Asperger's syndrome and can't seem to get that, you've got too much concern for formality when it's quite unncessary.
@tellnet I type at 120wpm, and it's not always accurate going that fast. If I slip up and perform a typo here or there, it's okay, because I know intelligent people will understand that you can still grasp what's being said through the context and implicature.
Believing one's prayers are being answered is indicative of a severely flawed intellect.
And, believing that an imaginary entity responds verbally is an obviously clear sign of an exceptionally deranged set of cranial impulses - Looney Tunics.
@tellnet What I was pointing out is that a person like Joy Behar is someone who probably does pray to a God, but she has no problem with that. Howvever, when she finds it's the other way around, she's quick to size them up as being "mentally ill." I was only pointing out a hypocrisy there. I don't adhere to a monotheism or a polytheism. My point of view is more accurately described by a panentheism, not to be confused with "pantheism," but even that is putting it vaguely.
@tellnet It's not an unwarranted. I'm basing this on things I've heard her say on other occasions on how she considers herself to be a very religious person. It's not unfair to say that, because people who take that position do quite oftenly pray and engage in other acts of religiosity. I think you need to learn to heed your own criticisms.
@tellnet What does that mean, you don't believe Joy Behar is a religious woman?
Atheists figure out religion is merely man-made concepts and that fundamentalists are usually all quite irrational, yet that's as far as they ever go. They embrace conventional "theoretic" science like christians embrace old books and deny higher states of consciousness or what Alan Watts called "mystical experience." You, sir, may be an auspie because you seem to value grammatical etiquette over anything else.
@tellnet No, no... The typos are going to come either way relative to whatever speed you type at. If they're trivial, and I feel one is still able to understand the sentence despite the typo, I just won't go back to correct it. Otherwise if it's vital and the typo somehow distorts the context or the meaning in which I'm attempting to communicate, I'll correct it. It's not a matter of slowing down, you see. Boy, you miss all the points, don't you?
I am actually shocked that you can state that you can type at 120WPM and then suggest that it is acceptable not just to err (as we all do) but to disregard your errors ... You do have eyes - can you not correct BEFORE clicking POST.
You are doing yourself no favours here - prospective employers (if required) will be as intolerant as I am.
@tellnet Top comments? You've only got 3 likes that made it a top comment! 1 of them which is most likely your own! Yes, that's something to be quite proud of. *Rolls eyes*
You've circumambulated any dialogue about points relative to a reflection of our supposed "opposing perspectives" here with your onslaught of criticism, pedantic pointing-out of trivial grammatical errors, and indulgence into irrelevance! How 'bout emphasizing the 3rd rule of Gricean maxims?! Relevance! Drop the aspie act!
@tellnet The correct phrase would be "such as myself." I hope you realize that not at any point did you express sincere, rational, mature dialogue; your comments were *ENTIRELY* inane insolence and logorrheic redundant tirades. You've spoken like a true troll. It's time I stop feeding this troll here, 'cause I just get troll feces in return.
So by all means, unlearn your insolence otherwise I'll take it as a bad attempt at satire, or maybe just a 5 year old's vendetta.
@tellnet The correct punctuation mark to end off with there would've been a period, not a comma. You, sir, are an idiot. <---- Notice the period at the end here. I don't use a comma, because I'm not an IDIOT. <--- Once again, notice the period at the end here.
@Hanahleia "sn't it funny that when someone speaks to God, they're "praying," so that's okay, but when someone says God is speaking to them, they're "mentally ill" or a "schizophrenic"?"
That's exactly the point. Its called "self dialogue" and even chimps do it. We talk to our pets, our plants, our computers etc. Its a method of organizing our thoughts and intentions.....but when we start hearing these things talk back, its a sign we aren't thinking properly.
Wow. I'm an atheist myself, but the cowardice of these liberals disgusts me. They referred to Christine O'donnell as mentally ill (possibly). Would they say the same thing about a muslim? No. Liberal double standards.
@Lightf00t1 People should look to have an opinion on what they can influence. Talking rubbish on another culture has little moral value and it's pretty cowardly when you do it instead of talking about what you can really make a difference on.
Another culture? lol Well I'm glad yo said it It's another culture and it's dangerous, so why are liberals so determined to turn their countries into Islamic republics?
@Lightf00t1 perhaps you're entirely unaware but there are quite a few atheist channels right here that repeatedly deal with the silliness of islam just as they do with christianity. In fact there are channels dedicated to that subject almost entirely. This has absolutely nothing to do with liberal or conservative....it has to do with batshit crazy ideas.
The reasen we in the western world more often deal with the claims of christianity is because we are confronted with it on a daily basis.
@Lightf00t1 and please cite a single "liberal" attempting to "turn their countries into Islamic republics?"
Why is it conservatives think that if we aren't singing "bomb bomb Iran" along with John McCain then we are turning this country islamic? The absence of irrational hatred of a concept does not equate to acceptance of said concept.
I don't agree entirely to what their saying but I do agree that Christians tend to not portray Christianity as they should (to the exception of those who do). Sometimes I feel that Christians try to prove themselves right and if its the truth they don't have to try to prove it, the truth is the truth and no one can change it. Everyone has their point of views, we just have to respect it because to be honest we don't really know until we die
@FatimaSelene1787 Sorry, but I can't respect people who act like they know whats going to happen after they die, and then try to tell you they know what will happen to you after you die! This has less to do with the afterlife and more to do with illogical and bigoted beliefs. I don't have to respect people who think that god and the devil are a reality.
@HardHouseMusic4Me I see what you mean. I believe in God but my boyfriend is agnostic and he tells me that hes not sure and there's really no proof of God or the devil. I don't agree with him but I would never tell him otherwise, everyone is entitled to believe in what they want to believe. But you said you don't have to respect them but I am sure you want ppl to respect your point of view :) Just saying not all ppl who believe in God have there head up their ass
@FatimaSelene1787 Do you respect a racist's point of view? Or a totalitarian point of view? You don't have to respect everyone's opinions. If you believe in the Christian god, that sort of means that you believe people will either go to hell or heaven, and I can't respect that. Your boyfriend is right, there is no proof, and unless people start rising out of the grave and talking about Jesus, there's no point in believing in any of it.
From a man who had much to say to the delusional herd of theists and could not be beaten in any debate, wrote brilliantly with unmatched wordplay and incredible wit;
"I am absolutely convinced that the main source of hatred in the world is religion and I think it should be ridiculed." C. Hitchens
In this day and age of knowledge, why follow ancient dogma from ancient ignorant sheep-herding men who couldn't even write a book without contradicting themselves, making people hate others.
@saxmanchiro God isn't ancient, God is ever present and eternal, and this video is an interesting aspect to how God's political abilities will play out here.
@Hanahleia He likely doesn't exist, as all the other man-made gods through the ages. So what makes you so sure you are woshiping the right one? Could be there are none. So your god cares about US politics? Really?
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."- Stephen Roberts
@saxmanchiro Well, I'm a panentheist, so I don't think Stephen Roberts quote really applies in the traditional sense. Stephen Roberts atheism is probably couched towards western religion, and western religious notions about God are usually monotheistic or polytheistic, very different from the panentheism espoused by eastern religion.
@saxmanchiro Actually, it is based on evidence. In Buddhism, this is called nonduality. It is a transpersonal or impersonal state of consciousness, a higher state of consciousness state if you will that can be induced in various ways, i.e. meditation, entheogens, a near-death-experience can cause this to happen, in some cases a stroke can cause this to occur, as in the case of Jill Bolte Taylor, and I'm sure plenty of other ways. There are many paths, but one truth.
@Hanahleia I find it odd that you would describe a disfunctional brain state brought on by coma, stroke and near death as a "higher state of consciousness". Isnt it much more likely (and scientifically demonstrable) that such states of structural and chemical dysfunction induce perceptual and cognitive malfunction in the brain which can and do present easily misenterpreted views of reality?
@stiimuli That's the assumption usually made by those that haven't had this experience. If you're truly interested, you should seek the experience for yourself, then judge. Otherwise, I think it's quite reductionist to simply called it a malfunction of the brain.
@Hanahleia "That's the assumption usually made by those that haven't had this experience."
Its not an assumption. Its an evaluation based on published nuerochemical and psychological research.
I'm not sure what you were intending with the links you gave. the first two were just some random guy talking about pantheism and spiritualism and the last I couldn't get to work.
I would ask you to please either cite credible sources or present your own arguments.
@stiimuli The last link works, it's two lines that must be highlighted. If you want a credible source, then I'd suggest looking into the work of Dr. Rick Strassman, specifically his book entitled "DMT: The Spirit Molecule." And, by the way, this is still quite a mystery to such fields as neurochemistry, neuroscience, psychology, and so forth, as the brain is still not fully understood.
@Hanahleia if this is still a mystery to science, and science is unquestionably the single best method for uncovering knowledge and distinguishing fact from fiction humans have yet devised, then by what method have you, Dr. Strassman or anyone else detirmined the validity of the assertions you're making?
@stiimuli I'm not simply going on feelings, Dr. Strassman is going through a more scientific approach to this. But saying that science is the single best method is simply a bias. I don't think you paid attention to that second link I gave you. Buddhists claim that there is a phenomenon in consciousness of a direct intuition of "oneness" or what they call "nonduality." The subject-object experience dissolves into a unity. Concepts aren't the only way to know:
@Hanahleia "Dr. Strassman is going through a more scientific approach to this."
Great! Could you then please cite his published, peer reviewed research on the subject? I'd love to review it. I don't mean an opinion book. Anyone with a typewriter and an idea can write a book. Actual peer reviewed, repeatable research.
@stiimuli DMT is something that is repeatable, and it's my belief that one day this will be peer-reviewed truth, but right now this field of study is being stifled by law, as it is an illegal substance. You see, science is only an interpretation of a truth, not an experience of truth itself, this is ultimately what Buddhism is about.
@Hanahleia 1) until it IS demonstrated as truth, why believe it? By that same logic I could assert that ANYTHING is truth even though it has not been demonstrated as such.
2) science is literally the only RELIABLE "interpretation" of true and false we have thus far. As I asked before, If you have a more reliable method please let the world know. It would be much appreciated.
Without that, I'm sorry....I'm not going to just take your claims on faith.
@stiimuli Well, that was the point of showing you those videos. It wasn't about showing you some unknown, unpublished guy presenting his opinion, if you thought that, then you entirely missed the point. The more reliable method is a very ancient one, it's called dhyana in Hinduism, nirvana in Buddhism, or satori in Zen. It the art of silencing the mind to reflect pure truth, but from what I've discerned here, I'm not sure if a person such as yourself would have the patience for meditation.
@Hanahleia I'm sorry but, despite the beneficial aspects of meditation, it does not magically impart knowledge. If you think it does, again, I ask you to describe a method of testing which would reliably demonstrate it does.
Then all we would need is centers of meditation where, instead of emperical research, scientists could meditate to unlock the secrets of the universe. How do you think this would effect our rate of discovery?
@stiimuli I think method of testings have already been done. Dr. Rick Strassman's work, his book "DMT: The Spirit Molecule," speculates that what meditation may be is the natural induction of dimethyltryptamine in a conscious state. It is this experience which gives a deep insight into our psychology in just the same way that the telescope gave insight to astronomy. Science and meditation could be combined to unravel the mysteries concerning religion and rid of people's religious misconceptions.
@stiimuli I'm not going to get involved in a mumbo-jumbo of peer-reviewed documents. There's a politics within the scientific community, where they're all too intimidated to speak out about these issues. So, the peer-reviewed article for this aspect of reality, I'd imagine it won't be released til well after our death before this is finally tolerated. The reason you fail to see how this reveals truth, is because you have no first-hand experience. Why not consider this experience? Then judge.
@sonykroket You entirely missed the point. Peer-reviewed studies adhere to a politics that disables it to address this issue. You're not going to find ultimate truth in peer-reviewed scientific journals, at least not currently in the climate of our society or culture. Instead, it's rather that truth arrives counter-intuitively to what you originally believed, it's esoteric, paradoxical, and you find it always by shearing through a pathway of illusion, because that's where you started from.
@tellnet I'm not sure what you're referring to here. If your referring to my comment of how the scientific mainstream has to adhere to certain policies in politics, that is, in fact, very true. On the other hand, the truth that I speak about doesn't require your belief, because it's a phenomena that could potentially happen to anyone, including yourself, good sir.
Your reluctance to acknowledge that which I was referring to despite the fact that I started my rebuke with "Your viewpoint " serves only to further highlight your nonsensiological ramblings.
@tellnet Okay, I meant "a phenomenon." By the way, omniscience is a word. I'm not sure where you picked up "omninescience," but there are some dictionaries that accept that word as universal ignorance. And if you're going to be grammatically picky, then "nonsensiological" is not a word! So, perhaps it's not just I who needs an education? The word you were looking for is "nonsensical." And I admitted that I wasn't sure as to what you were referring to, as you responded to a post I left weeks ago.
@tellnet It wasn't meant to mean that "I know it all," it was a reference to Zen, but I wouldn't have expected you to appreciate that. "Omninescient" would be the adjective form of the root word "omninescience" with the added suffix there. And this excuse that your use of "nonsensiolgical" was merely a pun on your part is only a feeble attempt to save face, as "sensiological" isn't even a word! The real laugh here is that a 56-year-old would even indulge in an immature and meaningless diatribe.
@tellnet I still maintain that "nonsensiological" is not a clever pun in any fashion. You've done nothing but insult, not only me, but from the looks of it, quite a lot of others judging from your YouTube activity. You're like a 56-year-old troll that isn't worth the time. You didn't even read the backlog of posts here, you don't understand my position as you made that quite obvious in referring to God as a "magic man." That is a very limited and primitive notion of "God." You're merely a troll.
And, yes I take a devious pleasure from assaulting ignorance - It has to be done.
And may the good lawd shave your hole and grant you the wisdom to know that the difference between a woman in a bath and a nun is that the nun has her soul full of hope.
Praise be to the All Might Be Magic Man.
And may the Blessed Bull shite long, strong and straight.
@tellnet Judging from the backlog of your posts on YouTube here, you apparently post this derogatory, spiteful nonsensical feces everywhere. Do you just copy and paste it or re-type it every single time? Sure, I can see how someone might sadistically derive pleasure from insulting others, but to obsess in the way you do is just mentally unhealthy and a complete waste of time. I've spent long enough with this BS, so I'm done. You can go ahead and have the last word here. I know you can't resist.
@tellnet Aha! Now I see where you got that from, my profile! I wrote that 6 years ago! Why would you even judge that? I think if anything, your naive judgement is a reflection of your nescience!
@tellnet I'd beg to differ, sir. I really would, but I don't go around calling people idiots. That, to me, is not only a waste of time, but it's idiotic!
@Hanahleia What a shocker. Just like creationists, you refuse to cite any published research to demonstrate your claims while using the excuse of a massive scientific conspiracy.
Bottom line is that nearly every scientist wants to make a name for themselves so if what you're claiming could actually be demonstrated as true they would be falling over themselves to be the first to publish it. Such a discovery would change the face of science (and the world) as we know it.
@Hanahleia First-hand experience may be significant to the individual who experienced it but it holds absolutely no explanitory power to anyone outside of that individual if they're claims cannot be independantly verified by those who have not experienced it.
Millions of people claim to have first hand experiences with alien abduction, ghosts, angels, bigfoot, fairies etc. but for some reason these people are always unable to demonstrate their experience outside of their own mind.
@Hanahleia Please understand that I am not attempting to be personally insulting or to make a statement about your intelligence in any way.
If you had an experience, that's great, maybe you did experience what you think you did....but until you or someone else can demonstrate that to those that have not had the same experience, there are other, more plausible explanations for it.
The brain has a million ways to screw up the information it takes in. Its the very reason we have science.
@stiimuli I think there are coming into being a commonality of understanding, but as winterstellar pointed out, you're not going to see it come right away in mainstream science because there is a politics they must adhere to, and they must be very cautious bringing into the mainstream spotlight. Dr. Rick Strassman is attempting to take a scientific approach towards this colossal transformation of consciousness, and it's a painstaking process, but I think eventually we will have a better model.
@winterstellar People like Terence McKenna or Dr. Rick Strassman have made it public, and they even explain as to why it's kept from being poured into the publicity of the mainstream.
@Hanahleia "But saying that science is the single best method is simply a bias."
Really? Then could you please name a better method for uncovering information and distinguishing fact from fiction? If you have one theres a nobel prize and a place in history waiting for you.
@Hanahleia You're right, I didn't pay attention to the second link after about 60 seconds of some unknown, unpublished guy presenting his opinion. Give me published, peer reviewed research and repeatable, independantly verifiable testing methods.
I see no more credible claims from this guy than I see from Deepak Chopra.....and this guy only has 40 views on a video thats been up for almost 3 years =/
@saxmanchiro *continued* Atheists figure out religion is merely man-made concepts and that fundamentalists are usually all quite insane, yet that's as far as they ever go. They embrace conventional "theoretic" science like christians embrace old books and deny conscious experiences beyond this reality.
Christine O'Donnell is right. The Creator is talking to you. Christine has merely got the message scrambled.
The Creator has posted a video on YouTube. The message comes to you directly, without the need for transcription or interpretation by iron-age scribes, or analysis by Stephen Hawking

The video tells you how you came to be here, outlines the meaning and purpose of your life, and gives you an insight into the future of humankind.
@3234718 Spirituality pertains to the incorporeal or immaterial. So basically it's like an emotion relating to experiences of love, unity, creativity and things of high personal value.
@DamienZshadow It's like an emotion, but not? Can you describe something thats incorporeal or immaterial? If not, the word "spirituality" has just as much meaning as "fribedijibit"
@DamienZshadow Also, emotions are explained through neuroscience; as are experiences of love, unity, creativity and things of high personal value. Emotions are a product of brain chemistry.
@3234718 Oh I understand they are. Incorporeal things tend to include abstract concepts like thoughts or the act of feeling an emotion. The causes are certainly of this world as there is nothing supernatural or metaphysical about it. I'm just saying that people tend to associate spirituality as the act of experiencing these things in their abstract form. Nothing more or less.
maybe if all the presidential candidates, musician's, football players, oprah, actors, etc etc would stop hogging all of god's time he could answer the prayer's of all the little boys who are/and have been in the past - bent over the bed - with their pants yanked down to their ankles, while a full grown penis is dryly shoved up their little anuses by god's messenger's...crazy crazy crazy - the sad part is this crazy is dangerous- stop the insanity!!

I don't understand why people keep mixing God up with religion. God has nothing to do with religion. Religion is all about man,Say to yourself every morning, afternoon and night God has nothing to do with religion.
Lol do you know how many flaws the theory of evolution has. There's a reason why throughout schooling they mention this over and over again. What the fuck do you learn outside of America... to say that obama is an idiot for being christian is the most ignorant comment i've seen. @Mackank894 place your comment on wikipedia, Asia has over 100 religions do you know wtf your even saying. This guy should be the god of wikipedia.
@SpawnScapeVideo "do you know how many flaws the theory of evolution has?"
Yes, seven.
Which are rather more voids and missing details which science acknowledges, because that's how science works.
Do you know how many mistakes, contradiction, impossibilities and utter stupid shit passages are in scripture, rendering it entirely useless, that the pious do, in fact with a feat of extreme cognitive gymnastics, not acknowledged at all ?
I call it the drunk effect. When people drink too much snake oil (religion) they get really stupid and illogicial. Continued use can lead to dependancy, diarea if the mouth, logicial falicies, everyone laughing at your face, thoughts of grandure and dementia. Read the labels before you drink in religion to drown out your problems.
Why should I believe in something ridiculous like evolution just because countless brilliant scientists study it on a regular basis when we have a 2,000 year old book written by barbaric desert nomads from the middle east telling us it does not exist and providing a MUCH better explanation for life?
The Reason I'm an atheist? Because I don't believe that every work of science can't stand up to the ultimate wisdom of cattle-sacrificing primitives that believe that every animal in the world lived within walking distance of Noah's house.
i hate how its the cool thing to bash the tea party lmaoo from calling them terrorist to morons or christians. Not everyone in the Tea party believes in god. The tea party movement was started by ron paul and ruined by sarah palin lmao
I actually really appreciate this criticism. Had I not read your claim, I would have gone on believing the opposite. This lead me to investigate your claims independently and come to a conclusion that was based on more evidence and logic rationale. Thank you. I love science.
this guys silly examples of Biblical knowledge is sad. he is a retard. period. if you go to raido shack you expect to meet someone who knows about eletronics. So why would you listen to Joy or John for your answers.
I'm American but I've lived in Germany for years. If a politcian here said that God was managing their campaign, they'd be taken away by the guys in the white coats and locked in a padded room. And rightly so.
I guess that the Germans learned a little somthing from the guys who wore "Got mit uns" ("God is with us") on their belt-buckles, and liked to march in Goose-step, running Germany for several years.
@megoofychick In America, however, it seems to be a great way to politically pander to the very outspoken and powerful religious right by implying that 'if you don't vote for me you're against God and you will burn in hell'. And people hear God and fall for it completely, because they just stop thinking at that point.
"jesus was peacefull" hahahahahahahahahahah. o realy? have you read the bible, jesus invents the hell to frighten the people, and in the tempel he violates the jewish law that allows selling of sacrifaces in the tempel by attacking in it. he allso says clearely that he brings the sword and the warth, and that he will personaly punish people for not beliving in him. he is sick bastard. just like the god in the old testament.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

Isn't it funny that when someone speaks to God, they're "praying," so that's okay, but when someone says God is speaking to them, they're "mentally ill" or a "schizophrenic"?

@tellnet What I was pointing out is that a person like Joy Behar is someone who probably does pray to a God, but she has no problem with that. Howvever, when she finds it's the other way around, she's quick to size them up as being "mentally ill." I was only pointing out a hypocrisy there. I don't adhere to a monotheism or a polytheism. My point of view is more accurately described by a panentheism, not to be confused with "pantheism," but even that is putting it vaguely.

You, sir, may be an auspie because you seem to value grammatical etiquette over anything else.

@tellnet No, no... The typos are going to come either way relative to whatever speed you type at. If they're trivial, and I feel one is still able to understand the sentence despite the typo, I just won't go back to correct it. Otherwise if it's vital and the typo somehow distorts the context or the meaning in which I'm attempting to communicate, I'll correct it. It's not a matter of slowing down, you see. Boy, you miss all the points, don't you?

@saxmanchiro Actually, it is based on evidence. In Buddhism, this is called nonduality. It is a transpersonal or impersonal state of consciousness, a higher state of consciousness state if you will that can be induced in various ways, i.e. meditation, entheogens, a near-death-experience can cause this to happen, in some cases a stroke can cause this to occur, as in the case of Jill Bolte Taylor, and I'm sure plenty of other ways. There are many paths, but one truth.

@Hanahleia I find it odd that you would describe a disfunctional brain state brought on by coma, stroke and near death as a "higher state of consciousness". Isnt it much more likely (and scientifically demonstrable) that such states of structural and chemical dysfunction induce perceptual and cognitive malfunction in the brain which can and do present easily misenterpreted views of reality?

@stiimuli The last link works, it's two lines that must be highlighted. If you want a credible source, then I'd suggest looking into the work of Dr. Rick Strassman, specifically his book entitled "DMT: The Spirit Molecule." And, by the way, this is still quite a mystery to such fields as neurochemistry, neuroscience, psychology, and so forth, as the brain is still not fully understood.

@Hanahleia if this is still a mystery to science, and science is unquestionably the single best method for uncovering knowledge and distinguishing fact from fiction humans have yet devised, then by what method have you, Dr. Strassman or anyone else detirmined the validity of the assertions you're making?
are you simply going on feelings?
stiimuli 1 month ago
@stiimuli I'm not simply going on feelings, Dr. Strassman is going through a more scientific approach to this. But saying that science is the single best method is simply a bias. I don't think you paid attention to that second link I gave you. Buddhists claim that there is a phenomenon in consciousness of a direct intuition of "oneness" or what they call "nonduality." The subject-object experience dissolves into a unity. Concepts aren't the only way to know:

@stiimuli DMT is something that is repeatable, and it's my belief that one day this will be peer-reviewed truth, but right now this field of study is being stifled by law, as it is an illegal substance.

It the art of silencing the mind to reflect pure truth, but from what I've discerned here, I'm not sure if a person such as yourself would have the patience for meditation.

@Hanahleia I'm sorry but, despite the beneficial aspects of meditation, it does not magically impart knowledge. If you think it does, again, I ask you to describe a method of testing which would reliably demonstrate it does.
Then all we would need is centers of meditation where, instead of emperical research, scientists could meditate to unlock the secrets of the universe. How do you think this would effect our rate of discovery?
stiimuli 1 month ago 2
@stiimuli I think method of testings have already been done. Dr. Rick Strassman's work, his book "DMT: The Spirit Molecule," speculates that what meditation may be is the natural induction of dimethyltryptamine in a conscious state. It is this experience which gives a deep insight into our psychology in just the same way that the telescope gave insight to astronomy. Science and meditation could be combined to unravel the mysteries concerning religion and rid of people's religious misconceptions.

Lol do you know how many flaws the theory of evolution has. There's a reason why throughout schooling they mention this over and over again. What the fuck do you learn outside of America... to say that obama is an idiot for being christian is the most ignorant comment i've seen. @Mackank894 place your comment on wikipedia, Asia has over 100 religions do you know wtf your even saying. This guy should be the god of wikipedia.

@SpawnScapeVideo "do you know how many flaws the theory of evolution has?"
Yes, seven.
Which are rather more voids and missing details which science acknowledges, because that's how science works.
Do you know how many mistakes, contradiction, impossibilities and utter stupid shit passages are in scripture, rendering it entirely useless, that the pious do, in fact with a feat of extreme cognitive gymnastics, not acknowledged at all ?

I call it the drunk effect. When people drink too much snake oil (religion) they get really stupid and illogicial. Continued use can lead to dependancy, diarea if the mouth, logicial falicies, everyone laughing at your face, thoughts of grandure and dementia. Read the labels before you drink in religion to drown out your problems.

Why should I believe in something ridiculous like evolution just because countless brilliant scientists study it on a regular basis when we have a 2,000 year old book written by barbaric desert nomads from the middle east telling us it does not exist and providing a MUCH better explanation for life?

The Reason I'm an atheist? Because I don't believe that every work of science can't stand up to the ultimate wisdom of cattle-sacrificing primitives that believe that every animal in the world lived within walking distance of Noah's house.

I'm American but I've lived in Germany for years. If a politcian here said that God was managing their campaign, they'd be taken away by the guys in the white coats and locked in a padded room. And rightly so.

I guess that the Germans learned a little somthing from the guys who wore "Got mit uns" ("God is with us") on their belt-buckles, and liked to march in Goose-step, running Germany for several years.

@megoofychick In America, however, it seems to be a great way to politically pander to the very outspoken and powerful religious right by implying that 'if you don't vote for me you're against God and you will burn in hell'. And people hear God and fall for it completely, because they just stop thinking at that point.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
