  • i knew it, to be religious you have to shut your brain off.

  • The first 4 minutes did not sound like an atheist video

  • The tranquil state you go into when you are near death, is a cushioning mechanism of the brain.

    Your life flashing before your eyes is a mechanism to quickly scan your brain to see if there is any experience or information that could help you survive.

    Out of body experience is an aftershock of restarting a brain that stopped completely.

    These are all instinctive functionalities of your brain. There is no soul, spirit, God, magic, aliens, vampire hunters or peanutbutter involved in any of this.

  • what she experience could be a trick of the devil or she in a peaceful place out of space time.either way mankind do have a soul and if u reject god and his word of teaching believing nothing happens when u die consequences are harsh.sorry if i offend any atheist but i am speaking the truth.god bless.....p.s if anyone respond too me negatively dont expect respond back

  • @jesussave1979 wrote "sorry if i offend any atheist but i am speaking the truth" No, you're just expressing your _belief_ on the matter, just like everyone else.

  • @jesussave1979 There is no "god". And that's... okay.

  • @jesussave1979 Please show evidence of these "consequences."

  • Her frontal cortex lit up, the area that involves higher thinking. The Limbic System which would show emotion would have lit up a lot more if she was feeling uncomfortable. Comparing the two scans, I would say the atheist does not become emotional or uncomfortable, she actually thinks.

  • people who would like us to believe in god, or anything else, should "prove" their argument

  • An "atheist minister"? How creepy is that?

  • @guyNbluejeans What's 'creepy' about a non-believer performing weddings, etc ? *confused*

  • @AxeGrrrl If you need to ask the question, you'd never understand the answer. Sorry.

  • @guyNbluejeans Evading the question is your 'answer'?  ok :)

  • @AxeGrrrl Okay, you win. ...

    It's creepy because these soulless ghouls have no business tending over the proceedings of matters that are born out of spiritual realities of the holy variety. These bizarre people ought to find other things to do other than attack the sacrosanct and indoctrinate the innocent with their perverted views. It's tantamount to hitler proceeding over a bar mitzvah ceremony.

    Okay, now fire back at me with the empty labels and clichés.

  • @guyNbluejeans wrote: "these soulless ghouls"...."their perverted views"...and of course, a Hitler reference for good measure! Ah yes, more Christian 'love' :)

  • @AxeGrrrl Well, maybe I got a little carried away with my rhetoric in this instance. These folks of course have souls but they do strike me as being very misguided. Sorry for some of the over-the-topness ... let's put this behind us and part in peace.

  • @guyNbluejeans "maybe I got a little carried away with my rhetoric in this instance. These folks of course have souls but they do strike me as being very misguided. Sorry for some of the over-the-topness ... let's put this behind us and part in peace."

    *reaching out to shake your hand* I truly appreciate the gesture guyNbluejeans, thanks very much :) Especially in a youtube comments section! anyway, thank you

  • @AxeGrrrl Thanks Much! Have a great weekend!;-)

  • @guyNbluejeans First you say "...these soulless ghouls..."

    then :

    "Okay, now fire back at me with the empty labels and clichés."

    Seems you have a projectionism problem.

  • Yeah that is a nice feeling, it's called morphine sweetheart.

  • Its a matter of belief, not a matter of is God real or not. People perceive things differently. That doesnt mean the things which they perceive are not real or are. The problem here is that society has no respect for one anothers thoughts or beliefs. This video and the comments that follow are obvious reasons of that.

  • Biological, your bright light is dumping of serotonin from glands in your brain. Serotonin is beautiful, chemical 2 is dimethyltrptamine (dmt) that chemical powerful psychedelic close to LSD but way powerful. Dmt trip is outer body experience. To get release serotonin you need MDMA, dmt is found on "LSD toads"

  • @DeshGTP DMT, LSD, and MDMA are three great drugs, and if death produces anything like the three of them, I'm sold.

  • Atheist minister? dafuk? Wow she is full of FAIL! Way to promote a new religion. Atheist are not religious. She's obviously a hack.

  • @RexFut I thought the same thing.....atheist minister?!!! .

    Oh boy where is this video heading. And what surprises me the most is the hate on the comments from the atheist, instead of noticing that she said she was a atheist minister, they would rather continue to attack the beliefs of others. Open your eyes atheist, God is real. Whats not real is a Atheist minister.

  • @AABREU80

    In one breath you say, "The problem here is that society has no respect for one anothers thoughts or beliefs."

    In the next, "Open your eyes atheist, God is real."

    How quickly you show your hypocrisy.

    Secondly, what if someone were to call them self an Atheist Minister instead of a Militant Atheist to avoid that reputation much like how creationists may, instead, call themselves Intelligent Design Proponents to do the exact same thing? It's merely a game of semantics.

  • I just can't understand black people who're more religious than every body in the whole world.

  • @disandthat Well my assumption is that the more you suffer, past more present, the more conviction you feel. Conviction being one of the truest signs of repentance cause you to believe more and more in what God teaches us in the Bible. I believe she has suffered more than MAYBE alot of us have or MAYBE she has seen more things than we have. African americans have suffered greatly in the U.S. , so have alot of other races but none the less it is suffering. Maybe that helps.

  • @AABREU80 Yeah, and a great proportion of the tormentors and oppressors African-Americans were/are the innocent white Christians who told their slaves to serve their master on earth, and that they'll (the slaves) get a nice life in heaven. The majority of the religious people have more hate in their hearts and hypocritical thoughts in their minds than most atheists do.

  • I think that doctor in this video was in the Bill Maher movie "religulous"

  • Viewing the screenshot I said, this lady either thinks she is

    God or the closest thing there is to the God of this universe;

    when she said we return to nothingness when we die I knew

    she was wrong and I turned it off; the world doesn't need to

    hear about you and what you have to say Ms. Atheist Priest.

  • @theetrue "the world doesn't need to hear about you and what you have to say Ms. Atheist Priest"

    What a loving attitude.

  • @AxeGrrrl

    What? You have a better

    attitude? Where is it? I'd love

    to hear it. God bless you.

  • @theetrue wrote "You have a better attitude?" Apparently I do, since I haven't suggest that we "don't need to hear" from certain people, unlike you.

  • @AxeGrrrl

    Don't pretend you are of a higher moral worth; don't

    even think of going there; you do not want to hear anything

    of God is why you are complaining so loudly and what is

    stopping you from going to sit at the feet of the atheist priest.

  • @JonO387 It's a person who does things like wedding for atheists cause an atheist probably won't have a priest or rabbi perform the wedding (why would they?).

  • @RosesTimes You wrote: "Look at other perspectives...

    Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed"

    The tagline No Intelligence Allowed is actually about the movie itself, because there is nothing intelligent in that movie.

  • "they're not comfortable with." NONSENSE. This guy clearly is not an atheist himself. Where in the world is he getting this interpretation? The brain lights up in that area because the atheist actually thinks about the question. The theist's thinking shuts down and goes on autopilot.

  • Why is it that whenever people speak in tongues they only babble nonsense, blithering idiotic noises that are obviously not part of any other language?

  • @aerhearts Its the language of the angles duuh!

  • What the hell is an atheist minister?

  • @JonO387 I was about to ask the same question. It's like a Buddhist extremist. I could see if atheists wanted to marry, but local laws only saw churches as being able to marry, and all the state could do was a common law thing, and she saw a loophole and called herself an atheist minister. Actually, I can't see that either.

  • @JonO387 It seems others have answered the question very well. I withdraw my confusion, but still wish to keep the "Buddhist extremist" joke.

  • The atheist brain doesn't light up when asked about god because the atheist becomes uncomfortable. It lights up because they actually think. Idiot.

  • A) religious brain shuts down. B) atheist brain lights up. A') Religious brain accepts god without thinking. B') Atheist brain thinks god without accepting. conclusion: God belief requires turning off higher thinking to regress back to the point in evolution where mankind fabricated god belief---the recreating of our ancestral mind.

  • @JusticeIsWhere

    I just have a question. I'm more like a person who believes less and less in religion but still have this clinging that even if religion is wrong, but there is a God. And by God I dont mean the old man with a beard. I mean a Supreme being, the uncaused cause. If we exist there must be millions of other alien planets with life. There must be something out there.

  • @Xzibillion Religion holds to a mythology of old that does not make sense in our modern world. We as a social being seek to belong to the body of thought that is our culture, but like a mind that has a growing understanding, we out grow older dogmas. As for more, the human family is something more and the universe is something more than ourselves. Community can be found through volunteering. A sense of awe can be found in learning something new and sharing it. Our knowledge grows.

  • @Xzibillion Yes the possibility of life exists for other life forms in other galaxies all over. God for us is just a projection of our own image. In fact our own existence is possibly illusory electro chemical signals flowing across the dendrites in our brains to work out the solutions to our personal survival in and of the social group. As for a god i would say get to know the one you are and are a part of as an expression of life.

  • schizophrenics also speak in tong. and their brain is also wired differently. So here we have a functional deluded schizophrenic black woman, who deludes her self with the religion, that not long ago, justified her to be a slave to white masters! IN OTHER WORDS! she's an IDIOT.

  • A question for humanity. In a world where there's no proof of God's existence or of life after death; how will you explain to your children why you brought them into the world and why they will have to die?

  • @QuestionForHumanity

    esay learn about islam All your questions will be responded

    but you just knew crhistan only

    learn islam

    read quran  but if you know arabic that will be very good there broof of god mohammed give us the broof but you most learn islam

  • @M7trfLooL can you prove that Allah exists?

  • @QuestionForHumanity

    YEAH i can prove but the broblem i cant speak english good

    i say what i know

    first if you know what mohammed says before 1400 Year

    he say

    He said details of the place now in our time do not know if you know what I said to look in YouTube and I know more than the Prophet Muhammad

    damn if you speak arabic but you

    i will ask you

    search of - signs of the hour in islam

    how we are in this world how we come this world answer me !do you have proof

  • @M7trfLooL You don't have proof. "How we are in this world how we come this world answer me!" Honest people don't pretend to have those answers, honest people are comfortable with not knowing, and admitting what they don't know, I don't need proof to tell you I don't know how this universe began, or even if it did begin and what existed before this universe existed. You need to provide proof, I've seen what Muslims call proof and it's a joke.

  • @QuestionForHumanity

    and see this very good

    watch?v=5J-9dn3_hpY

    i hope you learn more about islam -

  • @M7trfLooL I don't need to learn Islam, everything that is unbelievable in Christianity exists in Islam, it's the exact same pile of rubbish. If i was the sort of person desperate to find a religion, it would not be that silly Abrahamic nonsense, i'd try something totally different like Hinduism or some shit. I've always felt multiple Gods made more sense, I mean, if i was a lonely God and wanted to create life, the first thing I'd do is try and create a life like me, so i could have chat.

  • @TheAtheistFuture

    First, you ignorant of Islam is not like Christianity And Islam has one God And you do not confuse the man of the Lord, because God created you to feelings Do you want to create it like this? It was the first and the other that the Lord of heaven and earth You are an atheist and my life miserable

  • @M7trfLooL You are ignorant of Christianity. In Christianity God can pretty much do anything, he can even split himself into three, human, god and spirit, and still be one God. Christians don't try to put limits on their God like Muslims. If you take away the trinity and the incorporated pagan festivals, Christianity is Islam. Same morals, slavery, multiple marriage, inferiority of women, child sacrifice, it's all the same utter and total crap. Yes and I am Atheist and you are miserable. lol

  • @TheAtheistFuture

    God can do anything right? In the Christian God does anything good How much of God do they have? 3 Father, the Son and the third out of the subject If the father said to die this young man today The son says that the young man who does his Father or the Son This is a contradiction to religion For Islam, we have one Lord, one God.ALLAH. can do anything I told you to learn about Islam and working with him again because you do not know Islam

  • @TheAtheistFuture

    اIf you are in the faith of the true, believe me will not leave him and become an atheist Just try to Islam, and do exactly what islam says for a month and Read the Qoran

    and do it right if you do it right and pray every day 5 time

    that is islam if you dont know itt

    if you try islam 1 month and read quran

    belive me you will not leave islam you we be muslim four ever

    jI do not listen to the enemies of Islam who distort Islam, only Try Islam

  • @M7trfLooL Christianity is a contradiction only if you place limits on God, a God that can do anything, can be many anythings and still be one, it's only a contradiction to humans. It just goes to show that if you're going to go down this silly religious route, anything is possible, that's why I like to stay in the realm of the natural, and leave the supernatural to movies and fantasy books, and keep them all in the fiction section. I know, Islam = christianity - (pegan ritual + trinity)

  • @TheAtheistFuture

    First, in Islam, no one knows the form of the Lord and do not know anything about the Lord for I know that there is no god but allah And if you want the world of nature with yourself not a problem For the punishment of the Hereafter I will not forget you

    Just enjoy your short life maype 100years ?

    we are muslims knew that this life just a nothing

    we pray four god every single day

    Five time

    chirstany pray one tame every 7 weeks

    and even not a pray -.- ,,good life^^

  • @M7trfLooL if God exists, you're right, no one would know his form, even if he wrote/inspired the qur'an it could still be a load of bullshit, because God could be a liar and a joker. There is no punishment, and if there was, then God would be evil, because torture is evil, and I don't worship evil. 100 yeas, well i hope so, doubt i'll last much more than 80 though, and if i'm ill and frail, and a total burden, hopefully sooner. You Muslims KNOW! Yeah, right, you're delusional and arrogant.

  • @M7trfLooL Praying? What is THAT? According to Islam the Qur'an is complete, and it says nothing about praying 5 times a day, most of what Islam is, is just taught to you by books written by men about the Qur'an. Your religion is a joke, prayer is bullshit, and no God worth his salt would expect that TOTAL waste of time, you need to start thinking alittle. You're talking about a being that designed the atom from scratch, what need would he have of prayer. He'd be more impressed with our science.

  • @TheAtheistFuture

    After all your punishment to God I do not have

    and good bey

  • @TheAtheistFuture I agree but also Isam is derviitive of both Christianity and jewisim. It was made up from other religious texts. Look at how the profit read to the writer through a sheet.

  • @peterb1968 I know, i thought it common knowledge that Christianity is a derivative of Judaism, so when I said Islam is the same nonsense as Christianity, i was meaning Judaism too,

  • @TheAtheistFuture

    Unfortunately, if my words was not clear There are many mistakes Because I'm in Google Translate I hope you a nice life, I hope you know Islam, my sister \ brother

  • As I was watching this, I thought to myself, "I'll bet this guy is working with the Templeton Foundation." His name is Andrew Newberg, and so I googled and sure enough, he is.

    The John Templeton Foundation is an organization that pays for research that would potentially link science and religion. They also give out an annual Templeton Prize, which is an award to anyone who supports religion using science.

    The prize is $1,500,000.

  • I don't think that the higher brain activity when asking an atheist to think about god is about them thinking about something they aren't comfortable with. I think it's them actually thinking. Whereas asking the religious person the same question wouldn't be thinking, it would be about feeling, emotion, etc. Which would inherently result in not thinking, kind of like meditation.

    Me thinks this M.D. might be letting his religion interfere with his research.

  • @CrispyGreyMatter PET scans show that when tibetan monks meditate thier frontal lobes light up like the atheist in the video. Activity in the pleasure centers of the brain generally mean more red. I'm just sayin'

  • @CrispyGreyMatter Yes, that's it in a nutshell. You can't do proper research when you have a biased in the outcome. There is a young man who died last christmas, he had a heart condition, and had had two near death experiences, in one of these experiences, he say his favorite rapper ( who is not dead ), so it kind of validates what this lady ( who saw her favorite dead uncle )was trying to convey. He wished he had never woke up because he felt so calm & happy.

  • @sdacrowe Opps, I meant to say, that the young man says he saw his favorite rapper ( who is not dead ). It went viral, so it's should not be hard to find. Whether or not this child was athiest or thiest was not clear, but I found his experience very educational.

  • @CrispyGreyMatter See you apparently arent understanding the study. He shows the brain activity of a "religious"person and it obviously shows that when she speaks in tongues she does it unintentionally, which would suggest she isnt trying to fake what speaking in tongues, when he ask the atheist woman to think about God there is a lot of activity in her mind because she does not believe which causes her to use her brain alot more because now she has to make some thing up in her mind.

  • i like the interviewer guy, he seems really open minded about both sides and doesn't judge her for not believing. I think that was the guy who also had a near death experience...brain surgery i think

  • Let me guess, Theists... you think that the uncle that that woman saw was GOD, right?

  • Who wrote this claptrap? It's called lack of oxygen to the brain, not a vision of Aunt Clara. It is not something to be held on to. It should be feared. Not a state you wish to achieve. It is a warning light saying "Give me air!!!" All this spiritual mumbo jumbo is best saved for some drug induced bonanza, along with seeing Elvis.

    Next time you want to give a CAT scan to tell any differences between atheists and Christians then do it with the same ethnicity and intelligence.

  • I knew this all would lead to that... ..it doesnt matter whats after life...

    well eternal torment in hell??

    this is a propiganda video

  • Margret actualy says out of body experiance.. and thinks its her brain LOL

    That is what ya call ignorant .

    now Donna would be more an exaple of a relgious emotionalist , than a Christian

    Christian are neither religious nor emotional !

  • 8:00 - Christians, pay attention that the atheists brain lit up quite bright when asked about god. Red is heat. Heat in a brain is activity. Did you see how much activity that atheist had in her brain thinking of god? We have told you before, and this is now solid proof, atheist are deep thinkers when it comes to religion, and we usually know more about your religion than you do.

  • @cosmicforums

    Lol. There isn't any such thing as a deep thinking atheist. Look in the mirror and realize the amazing reality of creation.

  • @groundbeefega Obvious trolls are obvious...go back under your bridge and worship your Newt gingrich fellow troll.

  • @groundbeefega no such thing as a deep thinking athiest? did you really type thaat? you do know that most scienctist are athiests? are trying to say men like stephen hawkings are ans Laurence Krauss are not deep thinkers?

  • @groundbeefega Oh, wow. The irony in your statement is absolutely deafening.

    "Look at the amazing reality of Santa Claus! How else did the presents get here?"

  • @cosmicforums

    yes.. that is real solid proof..

    if you're a wanker

  • @bla34112 - The answer of someone whos brain doesnt light up as bright as an atheists does...

  • @cosmicforums

    Mhm, funny, since i always considered myself an atheist, too.

    No, mine was the answer of someone who doesn't like to see his colleagues get away with making stupid arrogant fucking assertions about data they cannot possibly correctly interprit. You don't get a pass on this kinda bullshit just cause you're an atheist.

  • @bla34112 - funny, there is the data right in front of you on this video. Clearly the atheists brain is lighting up like a christmas tree when she was asked to think. Look, if you dont like facts, or the conclusions that science comes to, then you can just ignore them to your own delusional detriment. why should I care?

  • @cosmicforums

    Sure, the data is right infront of me.

    Vaguely referenced in a youtube video..

    And now I have you smug jackass drawing whatever fucking conclusion best suits you from it.

    There is no fucking way that you are able to tell from that what exactly is happening in the brain. You are not a neuro-scientist, and even they couldnt draw much from it. All this shows is that there is a reaction to the word god, not what that reaction is.

    You silly fuckwit!

  • @bla34112 You are quite offensive. I no longer care to read anymore profanity from you. When you wish to have an intelligent conversation WITHOUT profanities and curses, then I will gladly have a discussion with you. Until then I ask you to try to be respectful in this public setting.

  • @cosmicforums

    Congratulations sir,

    i am actually befuddled now.

    This cowardly excuse of a thought I came to expect of Christians, not atheists.

    You didnt had much respect from me to begin with, but this..

    Thank you, nevertheless. I have always thought us atheists are better than this. I always thought we don't fall prey to those pitfalls of logic, sad we don't draw whatever conclusions we like, but no. You can clearly be just as dumb of a fuck, I see that now.

  • @bla34112 0h, NOW you have decided to speak civilized to me instead of cursing me and ad hom attacking me all the while claiming that I am not the one using logic. As far as your OPINION, thankyou for sharing your OPINION with me. I obviously do not agree with your OPINION...and even then you are still incapapble of speaking like a civilised human being. If I were someone of your calabre, I would use you as an example of how an athest should NOT be, but I do not stoop to your level.

  • @cosmicforums

    Oh, if you were of my calabre, you'd use me to show how athest should not be, eh?

    And no, i did not decide to speak civilized, i just forgot, but since you reminded me: Fuck you.

    There, with that out of the way, i'd like to point out that you do not seem to know what an ad hom attack is. And ad hom is not just an insult (btw, you're an arrogant ignorant prick), it's an insult used as an argument, which i never did.

  • @bla34112 spammer and troll

  • @cosmicforums

    Listen you moron, you can't just throw around words like " Spammer, Troll, Ad hom, Opinion" around. Words have meaning. Just as much as you can't just draw whatever fucking conclusion you want from a brain scan.

    You are letting your confirmation bias get the better of you.

  • 7:07 - LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO - and Christians think this is proof that God exists?!? It is proof of something..its proof that there is something wrong with her.

  • "there's something about unconsciousness that is generally painless"

    *audible gasp* could it be because you're unconscious?

  • 7:30 lmao of course religuous people shut off their brains when they speak in tounges

  • It would have been nice if they showed what part of brain is activated when someone 'speaks in tongues'...but then again, that'd only show believers to be delusional :/

  • The speaking in tounges part was too funny.

  • I'm generally not superstitious (and I'm certainly not religious--I'm an atheist)....

    But when I hear that "talking in tongues" crap, the hair on the back of my neck stands up, and all I can think is...EVIL!!!

    I suppose the "place" where that speaking comes from is the same place that turns people into evil mob-zombies, etc.

  • As for comments regarding Donna speaking in tongues, Paul wrote about the results in 1 Cor 14:14 -- "if I use an unknown language in my prayers, my spirit prays but my mind is useless."

    Praying in tongues (in the manner demonstrated), is not for the ears of humans -- it is for communicating with God.

  • God bless Ben Breedlove's family, as if it was not for articles about his death, I would not have found this video.

    Margaret's label of "Atheist Minister" I don't care for the term either, but enough people have already explained it.

    "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Heb.11:1. Faith is the bridge for the mind. Trying to look at Christianity and "use the brain" without faith, is like mixing oil and water, and expecting them to stay together.

  • @blackwidowee It takes faith to believe in Jesus. Just as it takes faith to believe in Ganesha, Allah, Zeus, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, lucky rabbits feet and magic beans.

    'Faith in the substance of things hoped for' If something requires a foundation of faith to believe, it's built on non-sense.

  • @volvoamsel By being an objective reporter or possibly being mature Christian and understanding spiritual gifts.

  • scientific evidence that to believe in god you have to stop using your brain,

  • speaking in tongues. The slave mentality. Of course part of your brain shuts down when you speak it tongues...how else does the pastor get to fleece you? And teach you bullshit? The lights are on but no one's home...

  • "The part of our brains that normally is used to do something on purpose is sorta shut down." Really? Ya think? talking like a total retard makes that part shut down?

  • Wish they said "Secular Humanist Celebrant" instead of "Atheist Minister" - cause "Atheist Minister" sort of plays into this idea that Atheism is just another religion.

  • "That she is alive is" (dont say miracle, dont say miracle...) "remarkable." (YES!)

  • Thank you, Margaret Downey, for all your efforts to replace myth and superstition with reason and science.

  • God, gave you that free will to choose or reject Him. Which ever choice you make, I hope you're right.

  • @grandmamusicme we get it. now stop repeating Pascal's wager.

  • @NTonks1 Other's may have said what I did, but I was not repeating them. I derived what I said from my own quite functional brain.

  • @grandmamusicme I've never even heard about "Pascal's wager" as you put it.

  • @grandmamusicme How can free will be given?Do I not have a choice in accepting this 'free will'? God has given people nothing. Religion, in particular Christianity, tells people they are born in sin, they are filthy, dirty and need to be 'saved'. What a sick belief!! When a baby is born it is a beautiful moment and it's mind is free from religion yet Christians say this baby is a sinner and needs saving! It is a sick and disgusting ideology! If that is whats 'right' then I'm happy to be wrong!

  • @grandmamusicme You're saying the god you worship is a thug. How very kind of god to give us all free will and the ability to believe or disbelief in him. How very kind of god to point a gun at our heads to help us use our free will to make the right choice.

  • The problem is that you will not know if you are absolutely right about there being no God until it is too late to change your mind. If you are right and there is no God, I will die and go into nothingness, in which case I have lost....nothing. If you die and you are wrong about the existence of God, you will face an eternity separated from him in eternal punishment, in which case you have lost everything.......forever. The choice and risk is yours to deal with.

  • @grandmamusicme And you have just run the risk of choosing the wrong religion - your religion isn't the only one that threatens eternal punishment for not following it.

  • The truth isn't reliant upon perception. Light is light and darkness is the absence of light regardless of your perception of it. Healthy regular grass is green. You can be taught from birth that it is blue and perceive it as blue and believe it with all your heart, but it doesn't change the fact that it is really green. Christians, not people who "play church," but actual Christians are not mindless idiots. I am a practicing Christian. I'm educated. I'm no idiot. I know what I believe and why.

  • WHY is so easy for the interviewer to believe that other people who have had near death experiences saw "god" and so difficult for him to believe Downey's totally rational explanation that such an experience is a biological reaction of the brain? It seems to me that the version that's hard to swallow is the one about seeing spirits in lighted tunnels and flying over nurse's heads. How do people get so conditioned to buy into nonsense like that without even questioning it?

  • there is no such thing as being an "atheist"

  • @xPray2die2dayx No, there no such thing as religion it just a misinterpretation of your emotion. You think you feel god but actuly you feel hormones

  • @UnderDog988 do you understand what i mean? to call oneself an atheist is as if i called my self a monotheist its an umbrella term for a variety of believes, because there are atheist religions like Buddhism and Confucianism who don't believe in God but an Pure Spirtitual life force. "atheist" maybe called Darwinist but Darwinism does not have to be an atheist religion because its just the believe in Evolution witch most American Christians believe.

  • @xPray2die2dayx Atheist is defined as Man with without a god. Now to believe in an Spiritual life force is very simalary to believing in a god. You see to believe in reincarnation is to believe you or someone has control of speacil power that can transform your being in to something else without following proper science thus saying that you can make 1+1 energy into = 3 Thus supernatural power. But yeah I understand your point but it very complicated subject.

  • @UnderDog988 well still i have talked to Buddhist over the internet and they claim not to believe in God. and just because someone is an atheist does not mean they just reject every thing Metaphysical. I saw a video of an atheist who believed in ghost once. I think that most "turn-away-christian" atheist should just call them Humanist because Humanism is from what i understand is the rejection of Metaphysics.

  • @xPray2die2dayx How can you be atheist and believe in a ghost... Ghost can only exist in the explanation that humans have souls ( something beyond physics ). So in the end this all leads to a god. This atheist who claim to believe in ghost doesnt understand her own beliefs. Logicaly she cant be atheist and believe in supernaturel.

    I think what she meant to say is that she is a theist thus she believe in a supernaturel power. But she doesnt know exactly what it is.

  • @xPray2die2dayx Also Humanism is not the rejection of metaphysics... it the acceptence of metaphysics... And yeah atheist is the rejection of supernaturel. Atheist mean with out a god. And a god is forces that doesnt follow the rules of the universe.

    Atheist is judging reality on physics and the notions we have of the universe.

  • @UnderDog988 how can atheist believe in metaphysics when there are a lot of supernatural parts of it?

  • @xPray2die2dayx You have no clue what metaphysics is... Your talking about spiritual metaphysics. Metaphysics is philosophy and science it has nothing to do with supernaturel. It can be associated with supernatural if you talk about SPIRITUAL metaphysics.

  • @xPray2die2dayx There is nothing supernatural about metaphysics. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that explains the fundamental nature of being and living and seeks out to explain the world. You can explain the world through science, reason, religion, spirituality, mathematics or any other way you like. Atheists and theists all have metaphysical beliefs and it doesn't necessarily have to be supernatural.

  • If an Atheist read the 4 major Holy Books, the Bhagavad Gita, the Quran, the Torah & the New Testament because of his vehement anti-God disposition, I bet he will know God better then any religious persons, even to the extent of enlightenment. an atheist is not anti-God rather anti the conception of God which is upon them by the self-righteous. The point of all the books are "you are real but reality is merely your perception; so know your divine-self " = know yourself Wholly then know God

  • you sound like an idiot, donna

  • Atheist minister?..../facepalm

  • @yyttr4 Minister: One who gives aid or advice.

    Atheist: One who does not believe in gods.

    Do you need to believe in a god in order to help people?

  • @tjhombs logic for the win!

  • @thecobalt100 good one. I would agree. Think of all the new ideas you'd relearn.

  • If I was involved in a terrible accident and brain transplants were being performed, I would want the brain of a devout Christian because it would have very low mileage on it.

  • @TheCobalt100 But its surface would be completely smooth.

  • @TheCobalt100 WOW I wish I could favorite comments.

  • i really hate atheists who treat atheism like a religion

  • These atheist's better be careful, you need an awareness in order to experience things in the afterlife, nothing means just that (nothing) if that's what they believe, and you can't experience anything in a vacuum, there is no peace in nothing

  • @Razzlyn1 oooh shut up, and stop spewing nonsense,..afterlife,..how do u know such place exist?

  • @Razzlyn1 There is nothing to feel peaceful about.

  • What the fuck is an atheist minister?

  • @sahirisdabomb I an atheist andhave never met one!

  • I am not afraid to die. I am afraid to die before I enjoy some of the life's best experiences. after that, i will reunite with the universe .

  • @xXMissPoodlePantsXx do you remember anything from before you were born? no. because u didn't exist. after u die u will not remember anything also because u don't exist anymore. it's really peaceful. there doesn't have to be some kind of life after death.

  • is this a joke

  • that minister looks evil.. just plain evil i am so glad i know MY savior

  • science explaied these near death expiriences. in fact you can create them without even being in death treat.

  • In the former USSR1917-92 atheism/evolution was taught daycare-univ The Bible was banned&it was illegal to teach it to kids Within months of the fall of the USSRin 92 the Bible&Creationism was put back in Russian schools The main one behind it was Olga Lutsenko&she was an atheist then Death threats made her leave in 96&she lives in Canada&is a Christian now BTWshe is on youtube&I support her work financially Amazing how fast the Bible&Christianity came back to Russia 20 years ago after 75 years

  • That atheist lady is crazy. We do not com from nothingness.. if we did then we would be nothing. I think she is on the right path but to say "nothing" we do go back to the place we came from.. but its not nothingness.. Its a light, warm but very dark. Its so dark that its bright and to see this light with human eyes would burn our retinas. Both atheist and Christians have the right concept but still have a long way to go in order to understand it.

  • @xXMissPoodlePantsXx So you've always existed? Of course not. You once did not exist but later did; not from a supernatural agent but natural agents. If we as individuals can come into existence from natural processes then so can the entire universe.

  • @MassLiberal1 Just because you can't remember doesn't mean you didn't exist, you just didn't have a body. One of the
