Who am I?

[itzahazylife]

I am me, and I am everything, all at the same time..The atoms in me are in reality, and the atoms in reality, are in me..

[VinnyMonster1]

By the way, you just earned a subscriber!

[VinnyMonster1]

Powerful, awesome, and disturbing. But then again, I assume you wanted disturbing. Still, awesome video!

[shockinbros]

the idea of old gods does have to go; they are violent, irrational, and primitive, just like the primitive people who created them. but, the modern concept of god, put forth by theists who follow no religious sect, is quite logical in many ways. with concepts like the oscillating universe becoming more unlikely, and new developments in baffling links between quantum mechanics and a conscious observer, atheists, including myself, must rethink, or perhaps reopen to some kind of creator.

[kallenart]

Wow. That was powerful. Really well done. Thanks!

[jakefw]

Well done, Skegg. Brilliant piece of work, mate.

[billygundum]

BECAUSE GOD IS EVERYONE.

YEAH

[ProudHumanist]

I love it, askegg and posted at Proud Atheists!!

[matmicmj]

BEAUTIFUL

[matmicmj]

thank you for being beatiful

[utoobasaurus]

Awesome video! 10 thumbs up!

[acceptjesusorburn]

determine the universe sprung from quantum foam and rapidly expanded? Where did u get that statement from? it is not the wide mainstream view of modern cosmology only a tiny minority of speculation which ultimatly leads to its own theological problems..

You spit uneducated anti religious babble at a level worse than dawkins if thats possible. Face it you have no understanding of religion

[askegg]

@acceptjesusorburn "Where did u get that statement from?" - Cosmology

" it is not the wide mainstream view of modern cosmology only a tiny minority of speculation which ultimatly leads to its own theological problems.."

Theology in science? Don't be stupid.

[acceptjesusorburn]

youve clearly stated that it has been determined the universe sprung from quantum foam when in fact that has not been determined lol it is a minoroty speculation in the Cosmological community.

Theology and science stand hand in hand it is only a new age attemp to use Science as a stand alone method, however the scientific method cannot be applied to many of things which we accept rationally therefor it Cannot be the more plausible explination in Every case, specifically in reguards to Origins

[askegg]

@acceptjesusorburn " when in fact that has not been determined lol it is a minoroty speculation in the Cosmological community."

Really? So you have a better idea where the singularity came from? You know - that thing smaller than the Planck length?

"Theology and science stand hand in hand...."

Utter bullshit.

"...the scientific method cannot be applied to many of things which we accept rationally..."

Such as?

[acceptjesusorburn]

@askegg Utter Bullshit? modern science is only reaping the benifits of generations of theorists and the rationalities they have established in science.

science cannot prove metaphysical truths. it cannot prove mathematical or logical truths it assumes them. Ethical oppinions of value, aesthetic judjments and science itself is established on unprovable rationalities science cannot prove science.. Theology and science are equally reliant on each other..

[askegg]

@acceptjesusorburn "modern science is only reaping the benifits of generations of theorists and the rationalities they have established in science."

I didn't see you mention theology there.

"science cannot prove metaphysical truths."

Yeah - because things that cannot be proven look identical to things that do not exist.

"Theology and science are equally reliant on each other"

Science explains reality, theology assume there is more reality than can be known and explain the way it works.

[acceptjesusorburn]

@askegg and yes i do have a better idea where the singularity came from, however i would not go and falsify its validity by advertising to innocent people that it has been "DETERMINED" that is a lie. Quit whining about liars and fraud and look at yourself first. Scientist should realise the value of their professional oppinions and how it can mislead the public in a devistating manor. science could claim anything unjustly and the public would believe it, its just a form of intelectual control

[askegg]

@acceptjesusorburn "however i would not go and falsify its validity by advertising to innocent people that it has been "DETERMINED" that is a lie."

Oh I see. Your all pissy because I used models which made predictions which have been experimentally verified and placed into a cohesive, non-contradictory framework. You don't want to reveal your batty ideas because you know they are not falsifiable, and therefore can never be wrong.

[acceptjesusorburn]

wow youve just assumed my oppinion before i even mentioned it... your nothing short of an angry hypocrytical religios hating athiest im sorry that i tried to reason with a brick wall

[askegg]

@acceptjesusorburn Instead of actually placing your hypothesis on the table you hide behind your offence. Fuck off troll.

[askegg]

@acceptjesusorburn "science could claim anything unjustly and the public would believe it..."

No - only an idiotic public which has routinely swallowed dogma for generations and has lost the ability to think critically. Religion anyone? It will dull your pain.

[acceptjesusorburn]

@askegg ok so your either admitting that the public are in fact "an idiotic public which has routinely swallowed dogma for generations and has lost the ability to think critically, due to religion" and therefor subject to manipulation via the scientific community ,OR your must say that science is not guilty of this however you must declare that religions innocense since you have charactarised the "publics nature" in relation to religion as a part of your conclusion

[askegg]

@acceptjesusorburn Are you really this stupid? I am saying only an uncritical public will blindly swallow ANYTHING said to them - science included. Thing is, in every case I have investigated science has shown me the reasons why they came to conclusions and religion has done the exact opposite.

[acceptjesusorburn]

@askegg your statement does not contradic what i initially stated.. i have not revealed my religious views you have only assumed them, your response is nothing but an unintellectual religious hate statement. you are irrational

[Egondv]

I am subsribed to your channel but am rly surprised to find this song, i Ruuuvv it!!!!!

Whos the artist

[askegg]

@Egondv Check the description,

[Egondv]

@askegg Yah tah dah had noticed :)

[ginmortal1]

Brilliant... just brilliant!

[ICharmaine]

WoW-just Wow! Very mind-blowing!!!

[StopSpamming1]

I feel like a pinball, bouncing between amazement and repulsion. I reckon only religion can do that to me.

[Keippernicus]

Hmmm, I really liked the vid but the ending was a little jarring. Kid with a gun, and all that.

Still, 5 stars for an excellent endeavor.

[alanstarkie2001]

Great!

[alphgeek]

Excellent, I really enjoyed that. Creative and thought provoking. Added to my favourites.

[utoobasaurus]

Fav'd!

[utoobasaurus]

Awesome! 5*****'s!

[laraesque]

Scary, Askegg. What's interesting is the hubris of anyone thinking who believes in a deity that they should know what does and does not matter to it/him/her. Nice video--nicely paced with the music.

[farvision]

"if you don't matter to god you don't matter to anyone" oh my what obnoxious people theists are!

[DooMDrat]

@farvision I think "Answers" in Genesis made that ad. They actually had billboards with the shot of the kid aiming at the camera, with the words "If god doesn't matter to him, why should you?" (IIRC).

Funny how shit like that is perfectly OK, yet if some atheists put up a billboard saying "You can be good without god." or "Don't believe in god? You are not alone.", people go apeshit, deface the billboards, and make death threats.

[askegg]

Preciously. The advert ambiguously implies it's alright to kill atheists because they don't matter to anyone. It's OK if your doing the lords work.

[smashbeans]

great video

[bdf2718]

So many references that the willfully ignorant (AKA theists) will not get.

This video struck me as poetic. Many allusions to which we each provide our own meaning.

[billythefifer]

Hi the good news bible magazine advert. the United Church of God. More of the usual we are being supreesssed by evil scientisssssts. askegg its the advert powered by google on your video.

[Yeshuawins144]

interesting religion..

[stripymccatpuss]

Pretty chilled music with some disturbing scenes

5*, best vid I have seen for a while

[bandoli66]

Awesome!!

[definemaybe]

what does it mean? God who?

[verodefacto]

Beautifully done mate!

[gilraen789]

Beautiful-but so misleading. We can respect each other and work together for the common good without being divided by ancient mythologies or ugly new dogma. On every day when tragic and hateful events occur, many other small events of of peace, joy and human solidarity are taking place. People are providing for one another, teaching each other and doing good in their communities. Many of them do not share your belief system, but they do good anyway.

[TheSpankymonkey]

I don't know about you lot, but i am the part of an unbroken line of evolutionary winners strecthing billions of years. Muahahahhahahahaa.

[riversonthemoon]

Very powerful.

[TexAtheist]

Excellent video Andrew! As always, some good music to go along with it..

[Gorteenminogue]

Wow! A very powerful video. It must have taken aeons to put together...

[rubenfranco36]

Ten star for the vid... and goosebumps all over my back. XD

[4jonah]

fucking outstanding!

[WSPWeasel]

Fantastic vid. Well cut - great video and song content.

I was mesmerized and absorbed by the whole thing. Loved it. 5*'s, faved and passed on to the masses.

[TheD0ded0de]

Ffreethinker should mirror this!

[saxmanchiro]

It's interesting to watch this wonderful piece and list the situations caused by religious zealousy. Not all mind you, but many. Man is such a weak creature, with so much going for him, but not able to escape superstition and deism long enough to save himself from annihilation. The movement afoot of trying to rid this planet of sky daddy worship is truly necessary and justified.

Keep up the great work. 5* and faved

[dixon42]

Nicely done.

Thought provoking on a few different levels.

[Rickymjam]

Did the AtheistCon inspire you? The vid is edited very well. Easily on par with DonExodus. Well done. I hope PZ sees it.

Sure to be a YouTube classic. Not to blow wind up your skirt of anything. ;-)

[askegg]

AtheistCon was inspiring, but only indirectly for this particular video. I am not sure I could withstand pharyngulation.

[Widgetas]

Really rather very good. I'm thinking this took quite some time...

[askegg]

Not as long as you might think.

[Widgetas]

@askegg - oh ok, slightly less impressed then ;)

[concrete852]

Certainly puts things in perspective. Great work! Will spread this video around!

[askegg]

That would be grand :)

[Dom0ne]

cool

[askegg]

Thanks Dom0ne. I really enjoy your work.

[MonkeyThatIsLuminous]

Nicely done!

[Segepop]

Dude... fuckin' awesome. @_@

No icon or holly cross may dare bring so much joy into ones heart as the vastness of the Universe, of human thought and perseverance, of the diversity of life on planet Earth and, who knows, on other planets.

Again, great job. Favorited, Cheers!

[Uselesschris]

Nice video ^__^

[dannypantsgm]

Awesome vid! Five starred and favd.

[askegg]

Thanks Danny.

[nelliediddle]

beautiful and sad

[BaileysBeads]

The song 'Eradicate and Evolve' fits strangely well with this.

[MilitantPeaceist]

Very Nice 8)))) 5* fav!

I am fast becoming aware that no matter the circle or group you belong too, there is always conflict based on the people, not the ideals.

It is plain to see that Humans justify destructive ideals based on thier own prejudicies despite being religious. Atheists ideals have been know to do this also.

The Holy books are like prehistoric "Word Association" tests, same as politial doctrines. If a human uses religion to justify destruction, it only reflects the human!

[MilitantPeaceist]

sorry for the typos

[mrmyxlptlk]

so thats your new intro?

=P

[ProfessorPEARL]

I seem to remember this music from an anime, maybe? Matrix, Apple Seed?

[askegg]

You are correct - Matrix.

[ph1in]

so your arguement is that we are not all the same? i agree.

[askegg]

That rather depends on how you determine the differences and if those reasons are valid.

[ph1in]

@askegg im going to go out on a limb and say the folks you'd certify as confirming validity of the differences have found them.

[midare]

Oh gag, the good news magazine advert. Took me a moment of suspicion eying it to determine if it was a religion-spoof or not. Since it has a "speak no evil" chimp on it it fit in with your own chimp icon enough for me to read it thoroughly to be sure. Moments wasted. ;-)

[askegg]

Not sure I follow.

[midare]

Above the comments box youtube has an advertising box. It generates ads based off, I assume, the tags for your video.

In the instance where I was watching it, it popped up an ad for the Xtian publication: "Good News Magazine" which happened to be using the image of a "speak no evil" chimpanzee. That chimp image being similar to your own "hear no evil" (and me being blood tired) confused me momentarily. Although, lucky break for them that they had such a well-matched ad-image.

[askegg]

Right - that makes more sense.

[kaxitaksi]

Nice work m8! 5*

[flyingfisbeefilms]

Great job!

[M1ST3RHYDE]

Im 68 seconds in and You already get ***** Even if the rest is pictures of fat men in Thongs. Awesome Work my Man.

[SAsgarters]

Very nice work. :)

[dewinthemorning]

Fav'ed.

The music, the very concise description of the universe, life up to us, humans.

Artistic!

[askegg]

Thank you.

[kolista]

classic :) Peace Orchestra. thanks

[TheSupremeSkeptic]

The intro music is from the animatrix.

[askegg]

@TheSupremeSkeptic Well spotted :)
