I hate when people talk about God as if everyone aligns to monotheism or religion itself. Like, keep your own religious beliefs to yourself and don't act like you're right when you have zero proof of anything being true in the Bible. Some religious people are so condescending it's obnoxious, not to say atheists, etc aren't also.
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.
A faggot and "the guy that urinates himself under the desk" (it is also known that he has major problems "down there" and that makes him hate women). Atheism is the worldview of faggots, losers, commies and pseudo-intellectual Trekkies.
First, agree with pretty much everything he says... But as a skeptic of religion we can't scoff at or laugh at the danger in Buddhism as well... It's just as false and immoral as any other religion.
you---sir---no longer have a job b/c you---sir---are so disgustingly biased that not even the kind of people who are willing to associate themselves with msnbc want to listen to your slanderous rantings. furthermore---sir---no one has forgotten that you lost your previous sports reporting career b/c you were fired for sexual harassment.
I find it interesting how Dan Savage has gone on just about every talk and radio show under the sun, ROASTING the president on how he hasn't gotten anything done on D.A.D.T.
And now that President Obama accomplished yet another one of his campaign promises, by getting rid of D.A.D.T...Where the fuck is Dan Savage and is big mouth NOW!! I haven't seen or heard so much as a PEEP from him....very interesting!
@priser24 Actually, I watched Keith Olbermann's show quite often, along with Rachael Maddow, Chris Matthews. I make my rounds with a variety of similar shows and I've YET to hear anything from Dan. If he did acknowlege Obama's accomplishment on D.A.D.T, he should have made just as much noise as he did when he was bashing him. It's funny how I have to scrape and dig to find Dan Savage complimenting Pres. Obama on anything....Interesting.
@SEFYH He acknowledged it on his weekly podcast the week that it happened. I don't think it's his obligation to seek out forums to praise a reverse in a policy that was maintained for far too long. This was something Obama campaigned on, and as long as he failed to deliver on that promise, people were right to call him out for it. I am still an Obama supporter and Savage is as well, but that doesn't require blind obedience to everything he does.
@priser24 Well he sure didn't have a problem seeking out forums when it came to running his smear campaign against the president. Dan Savage started in on the president a mere 30 days after he was sworn in. Obama had a strategy to resovle D.A.D.T that OBVIOUSLY worked!! He never promised ANYONE a time line! And know one expects you to follow the president blindly. Dan Savage is a whiney, snott nosed, extreme lefty that wants it HIS WAY or no way at all. He has to get in line with the rest of us!
Australia has no more racists than your country you racist idiot.
Most Australians I know share the views of these presenters, we grow up without much exposure to religion, all this religious debate on American TV is some strange cultural lexicon. Maybe it is to you too. It is very interesting to watch.
To Brit Hume: Brit, if Christianity works so well for you, why were you gasping for breath as you spoke those words about Mr. Wood? I suggest that you focus on your own existence - one obviously in need of inner work.
3:21 "...radical, sex-advice columnist faggots". Then 4:07 : "...& we gotta de-escalate this rhetoric...". lol He certainly has a face made for radio, to boot.
Olbermann, getting upset because anyone else has anything but objective news to share on a newscast! That's hilarious! Especially since the program Brit Hume was on is styled as an opinion forum. Especially since Olbermann is so full of himself and his partisan beliefs that he practically oozes DNC blue (and then he tries to keep the cover of being a "journalist". Whatever!). Especially since every word Hume said is 100% right. Rock on, Brit!
In truth you cannot be a liberal Catholic. That is not real. Anyone who claims to be a liberal Catholic gets to choose what they will or will not follow according to what they want to hear. I went to Catholic schools all my life. I don't hold everything they say as Gospel. Matter of fact I think there is a a certain amount of bullshit thrown in. Point being Catholic or not too many people get to decide what they will or will not do. But yet claim it like a badge of honor.
@KapitanoStuff you can be a liberal catholic, but you'll be cherry picking on what you believe and what you don't really believe. In the end.. its pretty hard to be a Liberal Catholic, but it's possible.
@SylarDX85 'you'll be cherry picking on what you believe and what you don't really believe'
-
That describes all religious faith. Christians used to hunt witches, but ignore shellfish eaters. Now they hate gay people...and ignore moneylenders. Except for those who cherrypick the opposite way round.
@KapitanoStuff No it describes those who make there own decisions in the name of faith, even though the faith doesn't reflect there intention. Christians do not hate gays, well at least most do not. They may disagree, but hate is strong word
@SylarDX85 'it describes those who make there own decisions in the name of faith, even though the faith doesn't reflect there intention.'
-
I think you're agreeing with me, but in different words.
-
'Christians do not hate gays'
-
It's a recent development that the wider western culture has become somewhat less homophobic, and most christians have followed the shift somewhat. Odd how these christians discover 'christian tolerance' only after secular culture does.
@KapitanoStuff No problem. basically, I am saying I disagree with Gay Marriage, I am Catholic. I don't hate gay people, in fact a good friend of mine is. I think most christians do not hate gays as well, but disagree with it based on there faith. If someone comes out and outright says "Gays suck, I hate Gays", than it's there own words, not the church. My friend and I, just have different views on the matter, but our friendship is still strong! I hope that Helps :-) Great chatting with you!
@SylarDX85 'I am saying I disagree with Gay Marriage...I don't hate gay people'
-
So...you think your friend has less right to marriage than you, because his sexuality is inferior to yours. You'd put it differently, but that's what it comes down to. You don't hate, but you do think you're good enough for a basic right, and he's not.
-
I appreciate you'd rather go vague on this point, rather than work through it, because that's how most people deal with their inconsistencies.
Are there any issues where you think god is wrong? Issues where you really wish god had decided differently, and your conscience would be a lot clearer if you didn't have to follow his rules?
-
Very few christians even understand that question. Even fewer understand what their confusion shows.
@SylarDX85 'My friend and I, just have different views on the matter'
-
It's only a 'just' matter of 'different views' if the views have no practical consequences. As soon as opinions have consequences, it matters a lot whether they're correct or just.
-
You can't just pretend the difference of opinion doesn't matter, however much you'd like to for the sake of a peaceful friendship.
@KapitanoStuff Absolutely not. I believe he has the right to have those rights under a union-ship, the same rights as a married couple, just not under the tittle married. A disagreement goes both ways, he believe his opinion is more correct than mine, and vice versa with mine. It's the respect for each others opinion as it comes down too in which we respect. I believe a marriage is for a man and a woman only. Gays may have the same rights, yes, but not under marriage.
Then the disagreement is possibly the most trivial possible - what to *call* something.
-
Civil union...marriage. A distinction without a difference. Which does raise the psychological question of why it should be thought *important* that two things, identical for practical purposes, have different names.
-
To me it seems like calling a sandwich different things depending on whether I'm eating it with a man or a woman.
@KapitanoStuff Agreed, however, it comes down to "Who". Man Man or Woman Woman, a union is in do, however that could never be called a "Marriage" as a marriage is only between a man and a woman. Pretty simple, not intentionally taking away anything. They have should have their rights too, whether I agree or disagree with homosexuality or not. They are still people, and deserve to be loved and respected.
He is not Walter Cronkite, nor John Stewart. Where does that put him? In the talentless hack category. And to make you happy, Hannity resides there as well. MSNBC is a business, so of course he cares about ratings. If MSNBC leads the Nielsens for a month, I bet he would be the first to throw that on the air.
I hear that same BS comment each time, uneducated FOX viewer. I watch all of the networks. I refuse to watch Olberman because he says nothing of value. He has that stupid little smirk on his face when he says "teabagger". OOOOOOH riveting journalism.
why does Olberman always have to talk like a little high school girl? "Out of Business Fox News." Keithy you friggin' wanker, have you checked your ratings lately? Besides, they shove your ass on at like 11 pm. You have absolutely no value to the media or humanity. And did his guest say "faggots" and did Keith laugh? Wow. cutting edge.
@VAkraut You must be a fox news viewer because you're bringing up ratings. I'm sure if Keith really cared about ratings he would have stopped the inflammatory insults along time ago if anything he's having fun exposing these idiots. The fact that fox news has so many viewers and take them seriously is a scary thought and says more about the audience than anything; they're a bunch of uneducated scared morons who are independent of facts, reality, and logic.
So Olbermann and this homosexual now want a separation of religion and the state AND a separation of religion and mass media? I bet Ol' Fred Nietzche is smiling wherever he is.
In cases such as these, Christianity becomes nothing more than a social bargaining chip. "Hey, I may have been an ass before, but I have decided that the laws of physics were violated 2000 years ago, so now you HAVE to pretend that what I did didn't happen".
This is not moral! It is simply buying your reputation back, essentially for free, by saying that you agree with the culture's arbitrary superstitions.
Buddhists do believe in gods but not a sole creator. Buddha do not encourage the followers to depend on the power of god.
Buddha said that power of truth is the only way out of all our suffering in life and attain nibbana (enlightenment). Nibbana is supreme bliss that can be experienced this life itself
"Buddhists do believe in gods but not a sole creator."
Besides all the lies you have told in your lifetime...and all the items you have stolen in your lifetime...and all the times you have used God's name in vain...and all the sexual immorality you have been involved with....you are now a member of those who have broken God's FIRST Commandment.
No, the Buddha is very much a man, which is precisely why he gave up the aesethic path and chose the Middle Way....enlightenment is this realization, of reality as it is. Buddha-nature is within us all, whether it's Siddartha or you and me.
Redemption defined as "making one right with God" is ethnocentric.
You have to first believe in the idea of god in order to use that definition. Not everyone believes in the idea of god.
The concept of salvation in buddhism is centered on taking personal responsibility for oneself. In buddhism, there is no one else to blame or credit, but yourself.
I do not believe it is beneficial to judge one's spirituality as more or less valid than another.
@bibliognosthere, Thanks for your comments, because I say emphatically that knowing how fickle us so-called humans are, if Jesus and God came down from heaven and stood before those who've decided within themselves not to believe, they still wouldn't take them at their word. It's not about proof, it's more about the selfishness and hard-hearted and headedness of people who've convinced themselves "they don't need God/Jesus" only "I" to make it. As Dr. Phil says, "How's that working for you?"

Woods didn't kow-tow to jesus in his irrelevant and over-hyped apology to the titillated public. YAY! Instead he stumped for Buddha and said it was because he had strayed from Buddhist principles that he had erred. Buddha 1, Jesus 0.
To comment on the dialog I see. I have issue with the way some Christians come across in unappealing ways, but I still believe in God/Jesus and the good and love He stands for and the inner peace I have with Him. There may not be solid proof that God exists, but that's where faith comes into play. Spirituality is a journey, not a destination where all questions are answered. When I see the ways others cut down the faith, that strengthens one's resolve to stand up for it.
Typical xstian. Lie when the facts don't suit you. European christians came in droves to convert Indians & murdered those that rejected xstianity. This is historical fact. I can't imagine why the Indians might retaliate?
Your smugness shows again claiming "white culture" superiority made it ok to steal their land & murder them.
You haven't refuted any of my points because you can't.
You are exposed as a self righeous hypocrite, racist & wanna be "know it all".
The x-stians did a great job of "civilizing" N.America huh? They murdered native indians for decades as they took their land.
Ancient morality = murder non-believers, pile them all up in the middle of the town with there dead livestock, burn it all but keep the young women for yourself. Also, stone your son to death if he's a drunken ass. Maybe beat your slave near death? I can go on...
Yes, accepting homosexuality & porn is much more moral.
I "fuss" over belief because it retards society, claims morality with ancient books that aren't moral & divides people to the point of hatred/murder with no evidence of truth.
If a x-stian can be so zealous without proof why can't I? You can't provide the slightest shred of empirical evidence for your beliefs.
I'm glad that I need no "god" to give my existence meaning.
~I can't see why we should expect an infinite God to do better in another world than he does in this.~R.I.
Once again you claim the intellectual highground answering your question to me, for me. You're clever but wrong.
I'm very impressed that you majored in philosophy. I didn't have the luxury to major in it but I have studied philosophy in college. I fail to see the significance because there is none. Worldviews vary depending on many variables.
I fret because your religion imposes itself on our secular government & society as a whole while playing the victim of oppression.
It's too late for you to give up your non-existent "god" at 60 isn't it? You do have a lot of time invested & with so little time left you would be an empty, broken husk instead of a righteous, scolding windbag that attempts to claim some type of superiority.
I live in reality. You do not. You claim me the idiot while you are a deluded fool.
Show me evidence / proof of your god or go away.
Your disdain for me is understandable & quite welcome. Back at ya.
Pretty righteous aren't you? You're sitting there with your smug "I told him" face & judging me from viewing a silly YT channel. Typical x-stian behavior.
Yes, I do post anonymous comments eviscerating x-stians because to do so without anonymity could get one killed by one of you deluded zealots.
I do greatly admire Hitchens' ability to crush the x-stian apologists although I'm far from being a fanboy.
I fear you will look back at a life fervently wasted on a lie.
The reason Christians believe they are so superior and better than other religions is because Christianity is not a religion. It is the TRUTH! Through hundreds of prophecies, over thousands of years, and not one fallacy or contradiction! Christ is God and has proven himself in His word, 'The Bible'. Read it and get to know the one, the true, the ONLY god! Brit Hume tells Woods to convert because Christ's teachings are for the good of the world! John 3:16 'For God so loved the world...'
Brit say's at :50 that "buddhism doesn't offer the forgiveness and redemption that christianity offers" WTF! You son killed himself and your christianity say's he is comdemned to burn in hell forever for taking his life. Buddism would offer your son love and another chance to get it right while your choice sends him to hell to burn forever.
I do agree with the guest that mainstream Christians should be more vocal, being that the fundamentalists often give a bad stereotype. But I doubt Olbermann has any faith at all, and if he did, he'd be a fundamentalist, being that he has these holier-than-thou rants he often express in a vile manner, making inflamatory comments about and showing hatred towards anyone he disagrees with. Even fundamenalists Christians are not that way, despite their faults.
@MB3Productions Okay, let me take you by the hand and show you how to think, even though I'm a blind fool. Selection is the noun of select, implying an action of selecting. In biology, selection is used to denote a process. Natural Selection is Selection by Nature. Consider as an example a lottery. If you were lucky enough to win a lottery, you would feel selected. However, there is no intelligence behind the selection because the lottery has to be fair. (continued)
@MB3Productions Now, if you wanted to argue divine intervention, you could, but the selection itself was, in this case, an artificial process.
Redemption is a rear-view window concept, i.e. it focuses on the past. Trying to fix the past is egotistical and will not make one better equipped to make smart, moral decisions. Since you have referenced JC, discussing damnation is a logical topic. Of course, some christians place blame on the non-believer. That is such a wimpy stance.
religion can not reform man becouse religion is slavery, it historises the jesus figure for social control, christianity detaches man from the natural world and likewise eachothother, crimes are justified in the name of divine persuit, the religious myth is the most powerful device ever created and serves as the psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish
wow. so brit hume gets to have and express his opinion and anybody disagreeing with it or questioning his motive is out of line. although we see all kinds of disagreement with anchors every day. wow. sad day when we can't even have freedom of speech.
wow. so brit hume can't have or express his opinion on tv? although we see all kinds of anchors express their opinion every day. wow. sad day when we can't even have freedom of speech.
@MB3Productions "why the hatred? Why the put downs and insults?" I have never and never will say that those who disagree with me should suffer eternal damnation. Yet you, and most christians, believe a loving god would do such. Ask those questions of yourself.
And, DNA does not prove intelligent design, it reveals insights into evolution. Natural selection is not randomness.
Man does not need redemption. He needs forethought and the golden rule, which was around long before JC.
@SuperScaramanga : I never said anything about anyone and "eternal damnation". You are confusing God's existence with man's religion. "Natural selection" is crap science. To "select" implies intelligence. It implies choice which in turn requires some level of intelligence. It's an oxymoron. And if you see man's behavior over time and don't believe he needs redemption, then you are a blind fool. Murder, rape, destruction, oppression, moral decay and debauchery. Yeah, we're fine. ;-p
It never ceases to amaze me how no believers cringe at the name of Jesus Christ. A man who loved and forgave. A man persecuted and executed by religious people. A man who said, "love thy neighbor as thyself" and "If thy enemy hunger, feed him, if he thirst, give him drink". Christianity is God's will to redeem man and have a relationship with him. Those who do not believe, that will ultimately be between you & the creator. But why the hatred? Why the put downs and insults? It's sad.
@HaloedG : Some people have used the name of Jesus to justify their acts, however, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with who Jesus was, how he lived, what he said or what he did on Earth. Religious people killed Jesus Christ. He came to save the unsaved, heal the sick and deliver the oppressed. He came to reconcile men to God. The religious leaders of the day hated him and had him tortured and executed. Don't confuse Christ with whatever you think you know about him. Read the 4 gospels.
keith said why don't we keep religion out of the public? THAT IS WHY THE WORLD IS IN THE SHAPE IT IS! BECAUSE WE HAVE DONE EXACTLY THAT. I say good for Brit. He said it short and simple. If we all followed that then the world would be a different place.
You don't understand Christianity obviously. Repentance means to turn away from your sinful ways, seek God's forgiveness, and be baptized for forgiveness of your sins. You then walk in a newness of life and leave that sinful way behind. I will pray for you guys to hopefully one day see the truth that God is real and Jesus is the Christ.
I know Brit well and he said to me he only said that stuff on air because he knew wet lefties like Olbermann would jump on some PC bandwaggon on his loose implication that Buddhism is inferior to Christianity in providing religious solace.
I happen to be buddhist and I believe Christianity does provide great solace, but only if you're stupid or desperate enough to believe such nonsense as T. is.
Olbermann would never have you up if you attacked Christianity - still waiting to hear from him...
Just remeber this, life here is short and you have the free will to receive Christ or reject him. Brit did his job as a Christian to talk about the promise of the Lord Jesus Christ and of course he is rediculed by Olbermann and others of his ilk, like it says will happen in the bible. Take it for what it is worth, but one day you will stand before him and answer, goodnight and goodluck!
Keith Olbermann is more civilized and enlightened than his counterparts at FOX News -- no question. His main problem though, and one of the reasons I don't like him, is that he doesn't act like it. He constantly lowers himself to FOX's standards, oblivious to the reality that people who share his political views are little more evolved and would rather not watch FOX News-Left. Maddow is the same way.
o Keith ... do you really believe yourself? or you just selling more of your show? Brit spoke up in his conviction, just as you do/did. Sad you call out others as you yourself behave.
I realize this about other Christians. I realize there are those who have moderated their religion to a point where there is little rebuff from the greater society. I hold no beef with those, however, you must come down on your fundamentalist brethren. If not, moderate religious people are in effect allowing intolerance and nonsense to flourish.
Olberman said, People who speak about the Christian faith are the same as Jihadists? Are you retarded?
Brit Hume should be applauded for speaking up for Christ in a world that is in desperate need of redemption & forgiveness.
In a nation where people would rather come out of the closet, rather than clean it, it is a prime target for the judgment of God. How long will it be until we are called to account for our actions and for our inaction?
Keith Olbermann spends way too much time attacking everything that is Fox News. He's getting hammered in the ratings and he still continues the same tactic. He coud learn a thing or two from Bill O'Reilly.
well here is an example of two people who have no grasp of the christian faith, or what exactly brit hume was trying to do which was to reach out to tiger in love and offer him a way to gain his life back, good job guys......
Leviticus 20:10 "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death."
yep, sounds like a great way to get his life back on track.
haha yeah it would seem that way but jesus' death on the cross literally takes the place of the man who commits adultery, which is what Jesus meant when he said "Do not think that I come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matt. 5:17, the Bible says the penalty of sin is death, knowing that we all would die not only physically but spiritually also, God sacrificed His only son to take our place
Don't know what would be considered a moderate Christian. You either believe Jesus was God's son or you don't. If you don't you can't claim to be a Christian. If you do then you must believe what he said. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except by me." I believe Mr. Hume knew exactly what he was talking about and unfortunately for Mr. Olbermann he is clueless. "God's ways are not man's ways".
The Democratic Party: The party that feigns empathy for Gov. Power & Gov. Control of the people. Infested w/ evil doers, mentally ill liberals, tyranny, voter fraud, racists, intolerant, tax &spend, communists, socialist Gov. healthcare, elite morons, anti life, conservative haters, anti-Christian, anti-Muslim, feminists infidels, America haters, Obummers fascists demorats, Maoists, liberal Republicans, ACORN, Hollywood, leftist media. Do not trust them. Crush them, destroy them. Vote them out.
@SuperScaramanga : you obviously have no idea whatsoever what your talking about. Man sins. He need redemption. Do you not agree? See what we do to each other in this world? Things like the genetic code of DNA prove Intelligent design. Such things do not, rather, cannot come from randomness. That makes to logical sense and contradicts the scientific laws of probability. So God revealed himself in his word and provided redemption through Christ. Simple, yet too complex for you?
I, unlike specialksteel, urge anyone not questiong what Brit Hume said to read the 40,000+ buddhist texts. Start in the ones that talk about Hell and forgiveness form 'bad karma' acquired through 'wrong doing'(sin) by faith in divine angelic beings. Naraka(Hell) and Divas(angels).
Why do they like to complare Buddhism to a non-religion?
Praying for everyone in Budda's Name
The awekening of faith sutra, the pratikarma (forgiveness) sutras, and the Diamond sutra.
go alternative. look at this! its like pro-wrestling, FAKE. Left vs right, right vs. left, meanwhile no news personnel are asking any of the right questions to anybody.
Still hoping that some Christian can make sense of his/her god's behavior: designing humans with all the built in flaws we have and then consigning most of us to eternal pain for being so imperfect that we couldn't find the "one true path" to salvation.
integral----not "couldn't find" but " wouldn't choose" to follow the one true God...makes sense when you understand holiness righteousness and all that He has done to redeem man. He sent His Son...there is song "All that heaven could afford" and that should show you some of his heart to give to us, His greatest love. I don't see that in any other religion (I could be wrong) that God reaches down to man and does what we could not do to save ourselves.
Back to the video -- Hume is correct in saying that Buddhism doesn't offer what Christianity offers, because Buddhism isn't about making deals. It simply says there is such a thing as enlightenment (understanding) and here is a path to enlightenment. Buddhism doesn't say drop your current religion, it doesn't even require you to "join the club" or call yourself a Buddhist. And it is a path, not the only path. Hume had a chance to learn about a different way, instead he chose to stay closed.
Brit Hume knows that Jesus said that there is ONLY ONE path and not many. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. NO ONE goes to the Father except by Me." "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it."
Fortunately the bible contridicts your view. Two examples are Enoch (Gen 5:24) and Elijah (2kings 2:11). These men were supposed to have lived before Jesus. How were they able to enter the presence of God without following the one true path?
There is no contradiction. It says that Elijah was taken to HEAVEN...that word in original Hebrew it is "Shamayim" which could mean "the air or sky" or it can mean the highest heaven. If you read in context, Elijah was taken into the sky. With Enoch, it says that "he was no more for God took him" it did not say where God took him. If you know the New Testament, Jesus taught about Paradise or Abraham's Bosom. That is the place where the faithful went before Christ resurrected. Luke 16:19-21
I disagree with you interpretation. In the Lords Prayer Jesus says the Father (God) is in heaven. Genesis says Enoch walked with God I believe it was 300 years? I think you may be interpreting the text to fit your view, but thank you for your response. it is an interesting idea.
@MommyAIAI Genesis did say that Enoch walked with God 300 years. Do you understand what walked with God means in this text? It means he lived a life committed to God for 300 years while he was on the earth. It doesn't mean literally/physically walked with God for 300 years. And right after that it says that God took Him and he was no more. It means that God took him from this earth. I'm interpreting the Bible how it is meant to be interpreted...scripture interprets scripture-exegesis.
The 2nd Unbiblical Quote of the Day: " I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the theories of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal god." - Thomas Alva Edison, THE GREATEST INVENTOR. EVER.
@KremeDeMentia.. for the Dueling Quotes =0) I give you another quote from Edison too. At least he had the honesty to admit that he might be WRONG: "When a man is dead, he is dead! My mind is incapable of conceiving such a thing as a soul. I may be in error, and man may have a soul; but I simply do not believe it." -Edison HA! Give me another quote! LOL (I'm just joshin' you)
The Unbiblical Quote of the Day: "The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so." - Louis Pasteur, discoverer of germs, creator of homogenization, savior of hundreds of millions of lives.
@KremeDeMentia Interesting that you quote Louis Pasteur. What research I quickly did, he was a Roman Catholic. Your quote works both ways. You can have that same derangment of the mind in wishing that there was no Creator....no God....no heaven.....no hell....hmmm sounds like a Beattle song
@KremeDeMentia Here is what I found on a book written by Pasteur's Son-in-law an eyewitness, writes in The Life of Pasteur, the most extensive biography yet written about Pasteur, regarding his last days of faith in Christ: "Absolute faith in God and in Eternity, and a conviction that the power for good given to us in this world will be continued beyond it, were feelings which pervaded his whole life; the virtues of the gospel had ever been present to him. "(Vallery-Radot 1911, vol. 2, p. 240).
@Karwen3 - you can find any famous person dying a 'godly' death on the Internet. Except for Darwin. There's a Neo-Puritan propaganda machine that makes Deists into Fundamentalists and makes every atheist screech about hellfire on his deathbed. Richard Dawkins will have his death videotaped to thwart these lies of those who've been "set free by the truth". It's funny - churchies do every sort of crime and dissemblance EXCEPT lying on the Internet. Fancy that!
@KremeDeMentia Ya never know what might happen at Richard Dawkins on his death bed...but if you watched "Expelled" he might think that it could be a 1% possibility that little green men might do a fly-by to get him...haha! Both sides whether Neo-Puritan or Neo-Dawkins put all their propaganda ..that I AGREE.
God tells us why he doesn't do stuff like that as much as he used to. (He still does sometimes.)
"If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Luke 16:31, Holy Bible
God knows that the people who refuse to believe won't believe even if He does do some great miracle. They'll just find some natural explanation for it so they can invalidate it and continue in their unbelief. God doesn't force anyone to believe.
@Karwen3 Christianity is false. No doubt about it. You insult the Cosmos by believing it could have a creator like the god in the bible. If you want to pat yourself on the back for believing and proselytizing such nonsense, have at it.
I hate when people talk about God as if everyone aligns to monotheism or religion itself. Like, keep your own religious beliefs to yourself and don't act like you're right when you have zero proof of anything being true in the Bible. Some religious people are so condescending it's obnoxious, not to say atheists, etc aren't also.

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.

I am still an Obama supporter and Savage is as well, but that doesn't require blind obedience to everything he does.

No, no, buddhist's don't necessarily seek to merge into "nothingness."
Some buddhists do believe in God and their idea of "enlightenment" is to completely merge with Him.
Some buddhists believe that god is not a person but a spiritual force, similar to the Holy Spirit, and they seek to merge with It.

Ah, now I see.
The concept of non-existence is a bit confusing to us Westerners. This isn't the goal, this is just another "concept" within the buddhist philosophy.
I wouldn't want a spiritual path that only leads to non-existence either - what's the point?
Non-existence means that things are "empty" of a separate independent "self."
Kind of a complex concept, but you seem like a pretty smart person, so I'm sure if you looked into it, you'd pick it up in a snap.

Redemption defined as "making one right with God" is ethnocentric.
You have to first believe in the idea of god in order to use that definition. Not everyone believes in the idea of god.
The concept of salvation in buddhism is centered on taking personal responsibility for oneself. In buddhism, there is no one else to blame or credit, but yourself.
I do not believe it is beneficial to judge one's spirituality as more or less valid than another.
It breeds bigotry and hatred. Bad stuff.

@bibliognosthere, Thanks for your comments, because I say emphatically that knowing how fickle us so-called humans are, if Jesus and God came down from heaven and stood before those who've decided within themselves not to believe, they still wouldn't take them at their word.

As Dr. Phil says, "How's that working for you?"

@MB3Productions Okay, let me take you by the hand and show you how to think, even though I'm a blind fool. Selection is the noun of select, implying an action of selecting. In biology, selection is used to denote a process. Natural Selection is Selection by Nature. Consider as an example a lottery. If you were lucky enough to win a lottery, you would feel selected. However, there is no intelligence behind the selection because the lottery has to be fair. (continued)

@MB3Productions Now, if you wanted to argue divine intervention, you could, but the selection itself was, in this case, an artificial process.
Redemption is a rear-view window concept, i.e. it focuses on the past. Trying to fix the past is egotistical and will not make one better equipped to make smart, moral decisions. Since you have referenced JC, discussing damnation is a logical topic. Of course, some christians place blame on the non-believer. That is such a wimpy stance.

A man who said, "love thy neighbor as thyself" and "If thy enemy hunger, feed him, if he thirst, give him drink". Christianity is God's will to redeem man and have a relationship with him. Those who do not believe, that will ultimately be between you & the creator. But why the hatred? Why the put downs and insults? It's sad.

You are obviously out of touch with the ACTS of those who came in the name of Jesus.

@HaloedG : Some people have used the name of Jesus to justify their acts, however, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with who Jesus was, how he lived, what he said or what he did on Earth. Religious people killed Jesus Christ. He came to save the unsaved, heal the sick and deliver the oppressed. He came to reconcile men to God. The religious leaders of the day hated him and had him tortured and executed. Don't confuse Christ with whatever you think you know about him. Read the 4 gospels.

You don't understand Christianity obviously. Repentance means to turn away from your sinful ways, seek God's forgiveness, and be baptized for forgiveness of your sins. You then walk in a newness of life and leave that sinful way behind. I will pray for you guys to hopefully one day see the truth that God is real and Jesus is the Christ.

I know Brit well and he said to me he only said that stuff on air because he knew wet lefties like Olbermann would jump on some PC bandwaggon on his loose implication that Buddhism is inferior to Christianity in providing religious solace.
I happen to be buddhist and I believe Christianity does provide great solace, but only if you're stupid or desperate enough to believe such nonsense as T. is.
Olbermann would never have you up if you attacked Christianity - still waiting to hear from him...

Just remeber this, life here is short and you have the free will to receive Christ or reject him. Brit did his job as a Christian to talk about the promise of the Lord Jesus Christ and of course he is rediculed by Olbermann and others of his ilk, like it says will happen in the bible. Take it for what it is worth, but one day you will stand before him and answer, goodnight and goodluck!

Keith Olbermann is more civilized and enlightened than his counterparts at FOX News -- no question. His main problem though, and one of the reasons I don't like him, is that he doesn't act like it. He constantly lowers himself to FOX's standards, oblivious to the reality that people who share his political views are little more evolved and would rather not watch FOX News-Left. Maddow is the same way.

I realize this about other Christians. I realize there are those who have moderated their religion to a point where there is little rebuff from the greater society. I hold no beef with those, however, you must come down on your fundamentalist brethren. If not, moderate religious people are in effect allowing intolerance and nonsense to flourish.

Olberman said, People who speak about the Christian faith are the same as Jihadists? Are you retarded?
Brit Hume should be applauded for speaking up for Christ in a world that is in desperate need of redemption & forgiveness.
In a nation where people would rather come out of the closet, rather than clean it, it is a prime target for the judgment of God. How long will it be until we are called to account for our actions and for our inaction?

haha yeah it would seem that way but jesus' death on the cross literally takes the place of the man who commits adultery, which is what Jesus meant when he said "Do not think that I come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matt. 5:17, the Bible says the penalty of sin is death, knowing that we all would die not only physically but spiritually also, God sacrificed His only son to take our place
88jswogg 1 year ago
Don't know what would be considered a moderate Christian. You either believe Jesus was God's son or you don't. If you don't you can't claim to be a Christian. If you do then you must believe what he said. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except by me." I believe Mr. Hume knew exactly what he was talking about and unfortunately for Mr. Olbermann he is clueless. "God's ways are not man's ways".

@SuperScaramanga : you obviously have no idea whatsoever what your talking about. Man sins. He need redemption. Do you not agree? See what we do to each other in this world? Things like the genetic code of DNA prove Intelligent design. Such things do not, rather, cannot come from randomness. That makes to logical sense and contradicts the scientific laws of probability. So God revealed himself in his word and provided redemption through Christ. Simple, yet too complex for you?

Still hoping that some Christian can make sense of his/her god's behavior: designing humans with all the built in flaws we have and then consigning most of us to eternal pain for being so imperfect that we couldn't find the "one true path" to salvation.
Makes no sense.
integral 2 years ago
integral----not "couldn't find" but " wouldn't choose" to follow the one true God...makes sense when you understand holiness righteousness and all that He has done to redeem man. He sent His Son...there is song "All that heaven could afford" and that should show you some of his heart to give to us, His greatest love. I don't see that in any other religion (I could be wrong) that God reaches down to man and does what we could not do to save ourselves.
Karwen3 2 years ago
Back to the video -- Hume is correct in saying that Buddhism doesn't offer what Christianity offers, because Buddhism isn't about making deals. It simply says there is such a thing as enlightenment (understanding) and here is a path to enlightenment. Buddhism doesn't say drop your current religion, it doesn't even require you to "join the club" or call yourself a Buddhist. And it is a path, not the only path. Hume had a chance to learn about a different way, instead he chose to stay closed.
SuperScaramanga 2 years ago
Brit Hume knows that Jesus said that there is ONLY ONE path and not many. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. NO ONE goes to the Father except by Me." "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it."
Karwen3 2 years ago
Fortunately the bible contridicts your view. Two examples are Enoch (Gen 5:24) and Elijah (2kings 2:11). These men were supposed to have lived before Jesus. How were they able to enter the presence of God without following the one true path?
MommyAIAI 2 years ago
There is no contradiction. It says that Elijah was taken to HEAVEN...that word in original Hebrew it is "Shamayim" which could mean "the air or sky" or it can mean the highest heaven. If you read in context, Elijah was taken into the sky. With Enoch, it says that "he was no more for God took him" it did not say where God took him. If you know the New Testament, Jesus taught about Paradise or Abraham's Bosom. That is the place where the faithful went before Christ resurrected. Luke 16:19-21
Karwen3 2 years ago
I disagree with you interpretation. In the Lords Prayer Jesus says the Father (God) is in heaven. Genesis says Enoch walked with God I believe it was 300 years? I think you may be interpreting the text to fit your view, but thank you for your response. it is an interesting idea.
MommyAIAI 2 years ago
@MommyAIAI Genesis did say that Enoch walked with God 300 years. Do you understand what walked with God means in this text? It means he lived a life committed to God for 300 years while he was on the earth. It doesn't mean literally/physically walked with God for 300 years. And right after that it says that God took Him and he was no more. It means that God took him from this earth. I'm interpreting the Bible how it is meant to be interpreted...scripture interprets scripture-exegesis.

@KremeDeMentia Interesting that you quote Louis Pasteur. What research I quickly did, he was a Roman Catholic. Your quote works both ways. You can have that same derangment of the mind in wishing that there was no Creator....no God....no heaven.....no hell....hmmm sounds like a Beattle song

@KremeDeMentia Here is what I found on a book written by Pasteur's Son-in-law an eyewitness, writes in The Life of Pasteur, the most extensive biography yet written about Pasteur, regarding his last days of faith in Christ: "Absolute faith in God and in Eternity, and a conviction that the power for good given to us in this world will be continued beyond it, were feelings which pervaded his whole life; the virtues of the gospel had ever been present to him. "(Vallery-Radot 1911, vol. 2, p. 240).

@Karwen3 - you can find any famous person dying a 'godly' death on the Internet. Except for Darwin. There's a Neo-Puritan propaganda machine that makes Deists into Fundamentalists and makes every atheist screech about hellfire on his deathbed. Richard Dawkins will have his death videotaped to thwart these lies of those who've been "set free by the truth". It's funny - churchies do every sort of crime and dissemblance EXCEPT lying on the Internet. Fancy that!

God tells us why he doesn't do stuff like that as much as he used to. (He still does sometimes.)
"If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Luke 16:31, Holy Bible
God knows that the people who refuse to believe won't believe even if He does do some great miracle. They'll just find some natural explanation for it so they can invalidate it and continue in their unbelief. God doesn't force anyone to believe.
