Life is a joke. At some point we realize that in the end, the joke is on us. So laugh and enjoy the ride because we are far less important as we'd like to believe.
Actually on animal masturbation... Animals not only can but DO masturbate.
Some with hands use their hands (apes, but also creatures like raccoons can do this!), some use their flexible spines to lick themselves (like cats and dogs). Others grind against objects (like dolphins or some grazing herbivores.)
So masturbation is not a unique human or even a unique primate trait. Although actually alot of human traits are not so much 'unique' as 'extended'.
I think when thinking of humans in nature, you got to realize that we might currently be the only surviving species of human, but there where once different species of human, sometimes at the same time. And some where more primitive. If we still had austrolopithecines, I think the seemingly huge gap between human and animal would be quickly revealed to be mostly illusory. It's just that the species between a chimp and a human in cognitive ability are extinct.
So take human thinking. People who owned alot of pets, particularly cats, dogs or birds. Will notice that these pets don't act exactly the same. Some are cleverer and figure out things on their own and solve problems. Nothing to complex, but they can still do it. Then take a monkey and they can do all of that a bit better. Then take an ape and they do it a bit better still. Then take an australopith and they'd be between that and human. Human thought is improved animal thought.
My theory is when we are born, completely helpless - we CRY OUT when were scared, hungry, bored, shit ourselves,in pain, wanna play etc etc...
What in turn happens or happened from that cry out? A Large being came and saved us (a parent) it knew exactly what we wanted needed comforted us - THAT IS Solely what fuels the 1 god idea - Monotheism is an 'abstracted' rationalization from infant memories - very real too - but not a god - you can say literally, that God is a parents love for a child
You will realize that whilst this is a necessary and useful practice, you cannot find anything by this searching, that what you need is to only be, willing.
When you are willing, God will reveal himself. The fun starts when you realize that God is actually nothing (that you would be capable of imagining or conceptualising) ,that he does not exist - in your mind.
Thanks man. I had never even thought about that before: people who don't quite believe need the reassurance of other "believers" in order to believe themselves. It makes total sense. I had always wondered what Christian people's motivation was to try to "save" people. This piece was very nicely put together. I enjoyed it.
In a way, what you describe here about god, curiously makes me think of, 'It's a Good Life'. The short story, and the Twilight Zone episode based on it.
They do believe it, but they *turn off* that belief when it's convenient. They 'forget' that god is watching at times, just like we 'forget' the starving people in the world when we indulge in food. Compartmentalisation is so easy.
@ChariotOfFaith Technically, it is possible. You may think of something as wierd, but something clicks in your subconscious that yells "I'd tap that..."
I completely agree with you on this. I have thought quite a bit along these lines and reached more or less the same conclusion. The problem is exacerbated by a several other points:
A) A lack of critical thinking skills & deriving an Is from an aught.
B) Wishful thinking & emotional Motives
C) False dichotomization & banishing of relative probability or contingency
i'd have to disagree, i think they really do believe it. maybe they don't think too hard about it, but they believe it. why else would they devote much of their time and money to religion and their church or mosque? and speaking of masturbating, why would they abstain from most sexual activities and stuff like that? and anyways, isn't it pretty annoying when a religious person comes up to you and says "i think you really do believe in god, deep down"? you're kind of doing the same thing.
Do yourself a favor and don't think too much. Its just your own subjective opinion. If you want to know how people feel, do a survery. People are different in nature, there are good and bad, the normal, the psychos, what one person would say yay, another would say ah no.

Yup. SHAME, GUILT and FEAR. Those are the toolkit of the pernicoius, debilitating social disease called religion.

I even had it in my head for a while that maybe it was OK to _start_ masturbatng and it woukld be OK with God as long as I didn't come. Yeah, that worked--NOT. Same with swearing. That meant several more prayers for forgiveness right there.
I am so FUCKING glad those days are gone. How I could have believed in the Great Voyeur in the Sky for so long with no evidence (like the big G, or better yet, a giant cross orbiting the earth like Carl Sagan suggested in Contact), I still can't figure
I can't speak for all Christians, but let me tell ya Phil, when I was a christian _I_ certainly believed it. It was actually worse than your 24-hour camera analogy because God was in my head; even my _thoughts_ were subject to his scrutiny. Fortunately, the Bible said God was forgiving, so I prayed for forgiveness. A _lot_. I was a teen when I first became a Christian, so yeah, the masturbation thing was awful, as I was letting God down two or three times a day just by doing that.
A TV program I saw showed the owners of a pedigree racehorse helping it fertilise a filly. They owned the horses.
.
God owns us.
.
If you think sex is "DIRTY", then the dirtier the better: in the dark, in dirty smelly surroundings, with drugs, with several people, with violence and foul language... and it gets MUCH WORSE!
.
If you believe sex is good - a gift from god, then you want things clean, light, bright, gentle and happy, and there is NO SHAME.
Here in Norway, when we where told about religion and the Christian god in our primary school school, being a very nonreligious nation, the first thing we as kids (around 8 years old) laughed at a lot was the idea that God watching every aspect of our lives, then he would surely also watch us taking a shit in the toilet. In Scandinavia where religion is very weak all-together, kids dispel the effect of religious propaganda instantaneously with ease.
When I was a Christian, I tried to think like that & it was unbearable (the idea of being watched 24-hours-a-day) so I blocked the thought out of my mind.
some people are born with psychosis, im not 100% on th spelling. and they have no remorse, no guilt, they have no feeling for killing, raping, murdering torturing, ect. they arent sent to jail, or executed, because they dont understand right from wrong. that brings up another point but what would god do? they broke commandments and the reson for cammandments were for people who didnt know right from wrong/
and to clarify some confusion also, or at least thats what i was told. but the other point i referred to was that we arent born moral. and the mentally impaired and those with insanity completely prove that wrong. God apparently made you to be who you are, why would he do that. the reason is he doesnt. im not exactly sure how people develope it, something with a certain part of the brain, but it isnt god.
@StaulkHolm there are many things that build up to morality, and if morality came from a god, I would be a murderous slobbering crazy person. First of all is altruism (the golden rule, etc, do for others what you want them to do for you) which goes without saying when you have thinking people, if you look at sociopaths this is broken in them, which leads them to do whatever they can to get things for themselves, with no concern for others.
@aqwiz in my opinion the rest is all learned behavior and societal concerns. (not wanting to be imprisoned, killed, castrated, socially outcast, etc) when it was socially acceptable to have brides as young as 12, it was done. when it was socially acceptable to have slaves, it was done (and the christians were usually the ones doing the slave-driving more often than not) there is no set quality of morality, it's a system, and we are not endowed with it by any creator, lest that creator be society
they had the commandments and they chose not to follow them, it doesnt matter the reason. is that what god would do? and on a lighter note WWJD? Jesus would judge and condemn with the "Father." god if you are reading this Smite me down, you hypocritical fucking prick excuse of a god. theres also thunder outside my house, i fuckin dare you to try it.
@habs4ever101 wow, you are doing exactly what the vid poster said christians do, trying to persuade yourself at other people. Do you honestly believe that you are going to convince someone that there is a god when they believe in none?
I'm going to have to go ahead and point out that there are probably some exhibitionist type christians who get a bit of a thrill out of thinking of invisible beings watching them get it on. Sorry if it's wierd, but I am absolutely certain of this.
The point you make is really that Christians do NOT really believe in god! How can they believe some being watches them 24/7 - even during sex? They may just turn off/on parts they want when they want so while they have sex, there is no god or Jesus. Even more delusion heaped upon delusion. :)
This man is actually very intelligent, i respect him for his thoughts, because yes he's very very right!! in my opinion religion is just there to pickle peoples lives.. i say just let people live there life how they want to !!
This reminds me of when I was still a Christain. I used to get embarrased and get dreesed quickly when I was nude by myself because of the thought of god watching me. & When I was just discovering my bisexuality and I was trying not think about my sexual fantasies which just drove me crazy because I thought god was also reading my thoughts. This was when I was a child and a preteen! I took the Bible & believed in god watching me more seriously than any other Christain yet I turned out Atheist.
In my 24hr surveillance you would note that I enjoy sleeping. I am not lazy, but I enjoy nap time very much. I am incredible trusted by many people. You would most likely point out that I enjoy masterbation, porn (less than in my childhood), love making and I am not ashamed of this. You would find out that a "stoner" is not what she is thought to be...I am a hard worker, a lover, a friend, and totally governed by myself and that I am short. I wouldn't like surveillance regardless of religion.
Me being a christian have to say, thats a good question to ask.
But just as we humans, watch animals, pee, masturbate, have sex{yes we do, its even on tv} not saying all of us do, but we dont watch them for sexual reasons do we, no we dont. So if he is watching us do are do, i doubt he is getting enjoyment out of it. Also if i saw a big G in the sky i'd act the same way i do now.
that is a damn good point that i never thought of! Yeah I considered how unfair and downright immoral of God it is, to condemn people to an infinite sentence of unimaginable torture for a harmless personal belief - a thought-crime. And that its was totally illogical, if he was the God of the theists, not to make himself known...But I never put the two together...God really is obliged to make it obvious to all regarding his existence. Immorality though inaction...not that i believe he exists mind
A very insightful video and I've come to agree with you about them not really believing it. I think to put it another way it's a kind of self-hypnosis that they're in where religion is concerned.
phil, I had to stop this at around 5:15 to post this comment: That's the first mention of that hypothesis i've heard, and I'm whacking myself for not thinking of it before you did. Oops, I meant "kicking myself." Brilliant! Surely there's been a paper on this, or there will be soon - "Opposable thumbs as a result of sexual frustration in higher primates...." Of course, that would also give the male of the species a bit of extra evolutionary credit, eh? Also might help explain....
Cheers for explaining the sarcasm by saying "just kidding". If they said "just kidding" after every joke in Friends it would be a lot less fucking confusing!
additionally, it seems most of you missed the point of the video entirely. The point he's making is that you DON'T actually believe either in God's Omnipotence and/or potential judgement from his observance with yoru daily sinful experience, regardless of how minor.
since God is ALL KNOWING. I find it sort of pervse that he would create us as flawed as we are, KNOWING that he would condemn us to hell for it. What the fuck is that?
@philhellenes This has always been my problem with Christianity. If God is knowing of all and so loving then why create us with so much emotions and feelings just to let us suffer eternaly. Seems like such a cruel God.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What? This is stupid. This is an ALL KNOWING GOD we're talking about that CREATED US. He knows everything about us, gave us everything, including the ability to get an erection and masturbate and such. It's different when a random person suddenly sees us naked, stupid argument.
If they were watched from infancy, they wouldn't know anything different, so they wouldn't care. If they suddenly started being watched at like 13, it would probably bother them.
When you're comparing it to religion, the analogy would have to be the first scenerio, since that's when most people are taught about God.
This is something I hate about youtube comments - the 'thumbs down' thing, I dont know how many it takes, but with enough it eventually means the comment stops bein viewable
Whilst I can see this as bein helpful occasionally, I don't think a days goes by were I dont want to know what has been said somewhere.
The camera thing isn't even enough for the example you are giving. "God's" prevasivness gose even further! It's not just visual. He's in your head even!!
they don't think about it all the time. thats how it works for them. convincing others to make yourself believe is rubbish, you can't make others believe if you're not confident enough to believe it yourself already.
That's bollocks, it's not hard to make people believe you tit, especially when they're children and they're yours. It doesn't take no confidence bullshit.
The only difference between absolutist states and God is power: God is supposed to be infinitely more powerful and capable of oppression. Somehow, that makes it all better.
In any other case, power makes cruelty worse. 1984's Big Brother is much more evil than the USSR, because it is so much more powerful. The more powerful a regime, the more cruel, without fail, up until that point of omnipotence.
Imagine not just cameras in your bedroom and bathroom, but X-ray cameras, because "God sees all"!
Hmm...I dont know about that Phil. I used to be christian (bleurgghh!!!) and I used to feel comfort in knowing god is watching over me. Especially when going into dark places when I was younger.
haha oh that makes sense...because I'll get punished for it. when "god" gave me hands and a penis? plus....if u do it in your own privacy how the !@#$ are u sinning?
Awnser: A believer gets an erection usually while seeing an attractive person of the opposite sex I dont know how is for atheists however.
God is watching us basically it means God is watching us during the important times of our life like if you steal or if you help others. Watching in the bathroom okay I think he has better stuff to do like watch American Idol. Never take the bible literally it was translated over 2 dozen times use common sense and make a good view
Actually this is already the case becasue of the division of the ego. There is always a part of the self watching.
Interestingly, St. Augustine would have probably approved of Viagra, because his main complaint about erections were that they did not seem to be volitional.
I think you're right that most purported believers don't really believe the bullshit they spew. I also think many people try to convince others for the reason you say - to reinforce their own weak belief. But I also wonder if it is a power thing - if I covince you of P based on reasoning and evidence, big deal. But if I can get you to believe P against reason and evidence, I've really done something - really exercised power over you.
God doesn't care about our natural habits like going to the bathroom, changing... Why would I care about a God who could see me? It's not like that. And about getting an erection-it all depends on why I'm getting an erection. Looking at porn, a sin...needing to go to the bathroom, not a sin.
"God doesn't care about our natural habits like going to the bathroom, changing..."
How do you know what the supernatural being of your story book does or doesn't care about? You can't even establish evidence of such a being's existence, to say nothing about what this deity wants, doesn't want, cares about, or doesn't care about. You shouldn't make claims like that... It just makes you look like an idiot.
Phil, Phil, Phil...you're making the assumption here that people will only do the "right" thing if they know they will be caught when doing the "wrong" thing. Where's your faith in human goodness? If you really love each other then why would it matter if you're being watched? I don't think it would.
I posted a couple more vids - check them out sometime.
As for my assumption: it seems reasonable. God is supposed to be omnipresent. Perhaps, when it suits you, you don't consider this because you don't believe it, which kinda proves my point.
Can a "wrong" act be committed WITHOUT God's knowledge? Not according to The Bible. Even your thoughts are supposed to be under 24/7 observation. On what basis do you disregard this part of scripture?
OK then the assumption is people conveniently disregard parts of their faith to still do whatever they want. I try not to disregard any parts of my faith, that's not to say I'm perfect, but as I mentioned in my last vid why discount God based on the failures of people? Also I don't think God expects us to be everything to everyone all the time, only He can do that. We just need to do our part when the opportunity presents itself, when He calls us to action.
While I tend to agree with your general direction, in terms of personal excesses and the proportion of how you help in this world, I do know God wants us to be happy, I don't think He has a requirement for poverty, but He does have a requirement to not put material things and wealth before him. If you keep things in this perspective and give your fair share and honestly seek Him to transform your heart to love Him and all others them you're probably OK in His eyes.
On the other hand if you can't enjoy a good meal because all you can think about is the hungry, then maybe that's your calling to do more. Just so you know how this looks in my faith, I support 2 under-priviliged kids & I provide 100 meals a month at a local food pantry - I figure I'm gonna eat 100 meals, so someone else should too.
I think you raise good questions for people to consider, but again we're not perfect so don't limit God on the shortcomings of people.
Life is a joke. At some point we realize that in the end, the joke is on us. So laugh and enjoy the ride because we are far less important as we'd like to believe.

I can't speak for all Christians, but let me tell ya Phil, when I was a christian _I_ certainly believed it. It was actually worse than your 24-hour camera analogy because God was in my head; even my _thoughts_ were subject to his scrutiny. Fortunately, the Bible said God was forgiving, so I prayed for forgiveness. A _lot_. I was a teen when I first became a Christian, so yeah, the masturbation thing was awful, as I was letting God down two or three times a day just by doing that.

A TV program I saw showed the owners of a pedigree racehorse helping it fertilise a filly. They owned the horses.

God owns us.

If you think sex is "DIRTY", then the dirtier the better: in the dark, in dirty smelly surroundings, with drugs, with several people, with violence and foul language... and it gets MUCH WORSE!
.
If you believe sex is good - a gift from god, then you want things clean, light, bright, gentle and happy, and there is NO SHAME.
.
May God help you grow up.

Here in Norway, when we where told about religion and the Christian god in our primary school school, being a very nonreligious nation, the first thing we as kids (around 8 years old) laughed at a lot was the idea that God watching every aspect of our lives, then he would surely also watch us taking a shit in the toilet. In Scandinavia where religion is very weak all-together, kids dispel the effect of religious propaganda instantaneously with ease.

some people are born with psychosis, im not 100% on th spelling. and they have no remorse, no guilt, they have no feeling for killing, raping, murdering torturing, ect. they arent sent to jail, or executed, because they dont understand right from wrong. that brings up another point but what would god do? they broke commandments and the reson for cammandments were for people who didnt know right from wrong/
StaulkHolm 1 year ago
and to clarify some confusion also, or at least thats what i was told. but the other point i referred to was that we arent born moral. and the mentally impaired and those with insanity completely prove that wrong. God apparently made you to be who you are, why would he do that. the reason is he doesnt. im not exactly sure how people develope it, something with a certain part of the brain, but it isnt god.
StaulkHolm 1 year ago
@StaulkHolm there are many things that build up to morality, and if morality came from a god, I would be a murderous slobbering crazy person. First of all is altruism (the golden rule, etc, do for others what you want them to do for you) which goes without saying when you have thinking people, if you look at sociopaths this is broken in them, which leads them to do whatever they can to get things for themselves, with no concern for others.
aqwiz 1 year ago
@aqwiz in my opinion the rest is all learned behavior and societal concerns. (not wanting to be imprisoned, killed, castrated, socially outcast, etc) when it was socially acceptable to have brides as young as 12, it was done. when it was socially acceptable to have slaves, it was done (and the christians were usually the ones doing the slave-driving more often than not) there is no set quality of morality, it's a system, and we are not endowed with it by any creator, lest that creator be society

The point you make is really that Christians do NOT really believe in god! How can they believe some being watches them 24/7 - even during sex? They may just turn off/on parts they want when they want so while they have sex, there is no god or Jesus. Even more delusion heaped upon delusion. :)

This reminds me of when I was still a Christain. I used to get embarrased and get dreesed quickly when I was nude by myself because of the thought of god watching me. & When I was just discovering my bisexuality and I was trying not think about my sexual fantasies which just drove me crazy because I thought god was also reading my thoughts. This was when I was a child and a preteen! I took the Bible & believed in god watching me more seriously than any other Christain yet I turned out Atheist.

In my 24hr surveillance you would note that I enjoy sleeping. I am not lazy, but I enjoy nap time very much. I am incredible trusted by many people. You would most likely point out that I enjoy masterbation, porn (less than in my childhood), love making and I am not ashamed of this. You would find out that a "stoner" is not what she is thought to be...I am a hard worker, a lover, a friend, and totally governed by myself and that I am short. I wouldn't like surveillance regardless of religion.

Me being a christian have to say, thats a good question to ask.
But just as we humans, watch animals, pee, masturbate, have sex{yes we do, its even on tv} not saying all of us do, but we dont watch them for sexual reasons do we, no we dont. So if he is watching us do are do, i doubt he is getting enjoyment out of it. Also if i saw a big G in the sky i'd act the same way i do now.
0194D 3 years ago
that is a damn good point that i never thought of! Yeah I considered how unfair and downright immoral of God it is, to condemn people to an infinite sentence of unimaginable torture for a harmless personal belief - a thought-crime. And that its was totally illogical, if he was the God of the theists, not to make himself known...But I never put the two together...God really is obliged to make it obvious to all regarding his existence. Immorality though inaction...not that i believe he exists mind

The only difference between absolutist states and God is power: God is supposed to be infinitely more powerful and capable of oppression. Somehow, that makes it all better.
In any other case, power makes cruelty worse. 1984's Big Brother is much more evil than the USSR, because it is so much more powerful. The more powerful a regime, the more cruel, without fail, up until that point of omnipotence.
Imagine not just cameras in your bedroom and bathroom, but X-ray cameras, because "God sees all"!

Okay interesting question:
Awnser: A believer gets an erection usually while seeing an attractive person of the opposite sex I dont know how is for atheists however.
God is watching us basically it means God is watching us during the important times of our life like if you steal or if you help others. Watching in the bathroom okay I think he has better stuff to do like watch American Idol. Never take the bible literally it was translated over 2 dozen times use common sense and make a good view

Actually this is already the case becasue of the division of the ego. There is always a part of the self watching.

I think you're right that most purported believers don't really believe the bullshit they spew. I also think many people try to convince others for the reason you say - to reinforce their own weak belief. But I also wonder if it is a power thing - if I covince you of P based on reasoning and evidence, big deal. But if I can get you to believe P against reason and evidence, I've really done something - really exercised power over you.

BrianZiska 4 years ago
I will Brian.
As for my assumption: it seems reasonable. God is supposed to be omnipresent. Perhaps, when it suits you, you don't consider this because you don't believe it, which kinda proves my point.
Can a "wrong" act be committed WITHOUT God's knowledge? Not according to The Bible. Even your thoughts are supposed to be under 24/7 observation. On what basis do you disregard this part of scripture?
philhellenes 4 years ago
OK then the assumption is people conveniently disregard parts of their faith to still do whatever they want. I try not to disregard any parts of my faith, that's not to say I'm perfect, but as I mentioned in my last vid why discount God based on the failures of people? Also I don't think God expects us to be everything to everyone all the time, only He can do that. We just need to do our part when the opportunity presents itself, when He calls us to action.
BrianZiska 4 years ago
While I tend to agree with your general direction, in terms of personal excesses and the proportion of how you help in this world, I do know God wants us to be happy, I don't think He has a requirement for poverty, but He does have a requirement to not put material things and wealth before him. If you keep things in this perspective and give your fair share and honestly seek Him to transform your heart to love Him and all others them you're probably OK in His eyes.
BrianZiska 4 years ago
On the other hand if you can't enjoy a good meal because all you can think about is the hungry, then maybe that's your calling to do more. Just so you know how this looks in my faith, I support 2 under-priviliged kids & I provide 100 meals a month at a local food pantry - I figure I'm gonna eat 100 meals, so someone else should too.
I think you raise good questions for people to consider, but again we're not perfect so don't limit God on the shortcomings of people.
Keep the questions coming!
