[mitch7788]

More verbal inanity from DeepCrap Chokeya.

Deepak Chopra, mentor to the delusional, PRETENDS to be the guru of spirituality, peace, and love. However the article has very little love and certainly no peace. Actually, it seems to blatantly contradict all that Chopra allegedly stands for.

Somehow presuming bad acts from a person doesn't seem to be very enlightened does it?

But ole DeepCrap goes well beyond bad into absurdest notions.

[tubebooboob]

@mitch7788 Mitch the bitch. The absurdist is not guided by morality, but rather, by his or her own integrity. The absurdist is, in fact, amoral (though not necessarily immoral). Morality implies an unwavering sense of definite right and wrong at all times, while integrity implies honesty with the self and consistency in the motivations of one's actions and decisions.

[kifferd]

Deepak is right. A belief in a God and afterlife is completely irrelevent to him believing its a comfort zone. The word under question here is not the world belief, its the word religion. Wordplay can seem smart to the simpleminded, but for the intelligent, it means noting.

[otherwisesaid]

Damn! HIgh Five! lmao

[yt345]

He of-course KNOWS that, not BELIEVES that. The fact that he misphrases things doesn't make these things false.

[psychomannen]

@yt345 it's still funny though

[powerhousejp]

@yt345 No, the phrasing was very clear and straighforward. For a person to know something as fact yet not believe it as fact is irrational. If we assume Deepak to be a rational person, we assume that he believes what he knows. Deepak "knows" that all belief is a coverup for insecurity. If we assume Deepak to be a rational person, then he must also believe such. Deepak does believe such and, in fact, holds it as his belief. Thus, Deepak is covering-up his insecurity.

[yt345]

@powerhousejp We seem to be talking about two different interpretation of the word "believe". One of them implies "I accept this to be true even though I have no conclusive proof". The other is "I accept this to be true because I have a conclusive proof".

[olavshleik]

@Breaking1337 deepak chopra is full of bullshit. He says ridiculous shit, completely misrepresents quantum physics to further his misguided views and he just got called on an obvious contradiction.

[MulldyrAnton]

@Breaking1337

"All belief is a cover-up for insecurity"

Then the man asks him

"Do you believe that?" and he answers yes = he's insecure

Science is very useful, but beware of believing blindly in what scientists say, that is just another kind of fanatism.The next thing im going to write may sound cheesy but is truth. "the only source of truth is your own heart, everythin else is just noise"

[jeremyengleman]

@francariet2 doesn't understand science.

[Rawblivious]

@francariet2 The point of science in general is that you don't need to 'blindly believe'... The reasoning and evidence are both readily available and aren't based on personal interpretation of anything.

'Real knowledge'? Good try, I'm convinced you're trolling.

[dementor19]

@francariet2 Your last quote is completely wrong. "truth is in your heart"??? Thats just wishy-washy bumper-sticker crap. Thats great for figuring your own opinions on matters, but the 'truth' is not just what you feel is 'right'. If you cant find any evidence for that 'truth', then its YOUR truth, and you cant expect anyone else to take you seriously.

[MichaelUifalusi]

i know whenever i trusted what my heart said, i always ended up fuking up my multiple choice section on exams

[jimbrown257]

@francariet2

"the only source of truth is your own heart"

...Actually those are desires. If you let your heart, instead of your brain, lead you towards your beliefs, you are going to end up believing what you want to be real instead of what is real.

In fact, your "truth is in your heart" kind of thinking is the essence of all pseudoscience and other forms of woo. Believing in what you want to be true instead of actual reality may be comforting but it is essentially a life of denial.

[xXxJanKxXx]

@jimbrown257 I must admit that I tend to cherish some of my denials... My brain realize that I will never be able to earn my living from music, but my heart push me towards that anyway...

I also must admit that I do believe there is more to life than what meets the eye as I cannot believe that we are just a result of chemistry... I do not know the thruth though...

Still... of all anti- religious way of saying what you just did... it was pretty well said.

[egokick]

@francariet2 What if my heart tells me to poop on your face and your heart tells you that you don't want that... how can the heart be the only sauce of truth if truth is capable of being completely contradictory.

[MrAgyoga]

@egokick sauce of truth? SAUCE of truth? lol this needs to go to failblog or something. "heart sauce:now comes in salsa and tomato flavor"

[francariet2]

there are realms in wich technology is not able to penetrate, those realms are invisible to science, but it doesnt mean they dont exist.Mistics know them since the begining of mankind, but the modern materialistic mindset makes people blind to their spiritual reality

[yogeniusz]

@francariet2 No, actually, these "realms" you're talking about are just stuff you made up. You may believe in them, but they're not real. You have no evidence to suggest otherwise, and without evidence, what you're saying is "just noise".

[De4sher]

@francariet2 aha.

how about don't believe blindly what mystics have to say?

sure, as a human, you experience all kinds of phenomena. But to go to a mystic for an explanation is the wrong way to do it, in principle, because their answers are not as intellectually honest as they could. And that is the only problem with mystics.

Out of an age when looking like you knew shit, made you famous, came the mystics. Test them on terms other than theirs, and they will fail every time.

[Equiliari]

@francariet2 Nothing... absolutly nothing, that humans can sense, see, smell, feel etc. Is invisible to science. There might be aspects we do not know, but as long as these aspects can be felt by humans, science can also measure those aspects.

In fact its the other way around. TONS of things that we humans can not see, hear, smell touch etc, are revealed by science. As an example: You cannot see infared, science has meathods to do so.

[francariet2]

science proposes theories acording to what is Technologically posible to probe. Do yo remember when dividing the atom was imposible just because the technology to do it was not yet avaliable?Or other crazy theories like prenology and racial supremacy? My point is not to take nothing for granted, even if it issupported by scientific investigation.Im no saying that science is "bad" im saying that science is not perfect because it is limited to the material realm

[francariet2]

i dont think youre understanding what im trying to say, but thats ok, real knowledge will emerge from within you, you will not find it on youtube

[FunkyMagick]

Hehehehe ... read Korzybski's 'Science and Sanity' to get right to the philosophical bottom of this ...

[francariet2]

i do agree with Depaak. Beliefs are in many cases a posture that people adopts in order to feel protected from the caotic and misterious "outside world".But a "scientific" belief is no diferent that a religious belief, if it is not supported by objective thinking.I think that is better to accept the uncertainty of existence in stead of telling lies to yourself.

[pl3bian]

@francariet2 I don't think you understand what "science" means.

[LedZepfan122]

@francariet2 What?! hmm scientific belief is no different than a religious belief, if it is not supported by objective thinking, there is no such thing as objective scientific belief, how can one objectively belief something that HAS to be proven scientifically?

[RobDZeppelin]

@LedZepfan122 sup ledzep LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[DonAlonzo]

@francariet2 If science is not objectve thinking, then what is? Do you even know how the Scientitfic Method works?

[francariet2]

i think both guy are using the word "believe" with very diferent meanings, thats the problem with lenguage, the same words have diferent meanings for everybody.I think both guys are right in they own way

[verstwo2]

[coryg1088]

COMPLETELY unexpected!! hahaahahah absolutely brilliant

[jonthecelt]

This man in the red sweater clearly felt that Satan *is* a real figure, as he addressed his question to both members of the opposing team.

Now, it's up to you to decide if this is a "fail", and on whose part - but it's better to make that judgement with a fuller knowledge of the context.

[JeanetteTherese]

@jonthecelt I just wrote a whole comment about this and noticed you beat me by a day. As an atheist I don't like Chopra, or any body that argues for religion, but you are right in that this clip is taken out of context. Unfortunately it seems that none of the commenters here decided to watch the whole series. If they had, they would have understood that Chopra was as close to being non-religious as he ever will. It wasn't a fail but it was a good play with words.

[jonthecelt]

(damned character limit)

Chopra stated that all belief in an external supernatural force comes down to personal insecurities: it's easier to blame the Devil for making us or others do things which we are ashamed or guilty of, rather than take responsibility and try to change. He also stated that the same is true for an external God: that in his understanding, God was the potential for good and wonder within e everyone.

[jonthecelt]

Ok, here's the wider context some people were asking for...

This sliver of a clip is taken from a full-length debate on ABC's Nightline. The question being debated was, "Does Satan exist?". Arguing for the real existence of Satan were Annie Lobert and Rev. Driscoll; arguing against were Deepak Chopra and Bishop Cartland (I believe). In his earlier statements, Chopra had said, essentially, that belief in an external supernatural force such as either God or the Devil was down to our personal ins

It's an infinite regress of fail. Someone give the bearded man an award.

At least the bishop had enough of a sense of humor to laugh about it.

[JabbaV]

Damn funny! Love Deepak, but man, that WAS and epic fail! And it IS hilarious!

[JabbaV]

@JabbaV and obviously i travelled back in time AND repeated myself without even knowing it.

[Vedicastrologycentre]

Sfm I really don't subscribe to deepak but its silly for people to discuss something taken out of context.

[Vedicastrologycentre]

Besides being out of context, some people failed to notice that it was also addressed to the bishop. So keep the religious nastiness and feelings of supremacy to yourself. The comment by itself is a huge philosophy and isn't something that is funny. But then then again if you understood the philosophy you would know it isn't serious either.

[SolidFellaMike]

@Vedicastrologycentre awww... did your feelers get hurt cuz the D-man was too full of himself to save himself from the stupidity of his own words and philosophies? Or is it that you are so entrenched with the crap he's selling that you actually took it personally. Either way, that makes you laughable. Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha.

[shadowoc91]

Could someone please explain the context to this?

@shadowoc91 Sure. The context is that Deepak Chopra is full of shit, and makes a living saying things that sound nice, don't make sense. The gentleman at the podium asks him a rhetorical question that points out how full of shit Deepak is.
