pat didn't ask what is the meaning of life he asked what was the purpose of life,why am i here? the answer is all incompassing to everyone, because the answer is the same for everyone. we are here to prepare ourselves for death. it is the only thing that every human being has in common. so we each must ask ourselves am i ready to die today? noone knows when their death will occur, but it is inevitiable. prepare yourself for the inevitiable.
"Either we love or we die." W. H. Auden. "Love is not all; it is not meat nor drink...Yet many a man is making friends with death / Even as I speak, for lack of love alone." Edna St. Vincent Millay. Both 20th century poets If "God is Love" then St. Augustine is right, "You made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you."
Man is made for union with another! Who is this "Other"? C.S. Lewis, at first an atheist, wrote many books on Christianity.
Everything is relative, even existence. For whom is life relevant? for life ofcourse, I could imagine that in some way something could benefit from "lifes" existence, but like any mathematical endless theory this "something" would also exist for someone elses sake. So this quest to find out what the meaning of life is for "you" or life is kinda pointless behond since you allready now the answer, unless this search give you great joy and meaning to your own life. :)
The meaning of any form of life or just "life" is to survive or exist, since lifes existence require movement in difference to "dead" things like rocks. If life didn't survive it wouldn't exist. Rocks would still exist however. So do life need to exist? No, does rocks need to exist? No. Rocks only need to exist for the sake of life, just like life only ned to exist for itself. If they don't exist it's the "end of the world."
The meaning of human life is to stay alive, we do that through reproduction, thus is the meaning of human life is to reproduce offspring. Religion can be a tool in some societys to achive one social culture that bring some kind of stability or birthground for that. But religion with believs in suprficial stuff like trolls, gods etc have developed those explanations in order to make this tool to work. The tool of states with laws works just fine, especially since we can explain things w science.
If man stops caring for his fellow man, society, boundaries, authority, and only caters to its urges. How does man differ from animals? How many animals do you know that create complex societies that have unlimited potential through science, technology, and destruction? This is why man is meant to follow the "DEPTH" of god, and not the literal translations of it being just a book.
If you deny the depth of god, eventually you will discover that with unlimited freedom. Comes unlimited destruction
The concept of god isn't about the story itself, or the individual it identifies. If you want to understand god in any "compassionate" religion, look at the depth behind the story and wisdom. It's about the morality, in which god realizes that man is imperfect. Man was given the ability to determine right from wrong, and man must remember he is potentially imperfect with his actions. If man comes to discover there is no such thing as morality, man will stop caring for his fellow man/society.
Answer: No. U R quite right. Just the act of asking such rediculous questions is a waqste of time. Life, Joy, Love, Beauty, do not require a justification for exsisting. Nobody deserves being punished for being human or for being born. Moral behavior is in our own hands, not those of some inaginary Deity.
very well said. Great response. I agree that any agnostic worth talking with has to admit "atheist overtones" as well, or accept that unicorns, fairies, a toaster orbiting around Jupiter, or the flying spaghetti monster all are just as probable to exist as this mysterious "God" stuff.
we can't have a 'meaning' to life. if we have a meaning that mean we are slave to that 'meaning' and live to just achieve that 'meaning' and 'objective'.
life is the experience and personal perspective of one person and it's ever changing and that's the beauty of it.
@LlortAmaIx@LlortAmaIx maybe jump back on the Nazi forums eh fellow whitie( and fucking stay there, forever u cunt)? I'll stay here and enjoy my multicultural friends
The word "agnostic" comes to us from 'a' + 'gnostic'. Gnosis is (spiritual) knowledge.
The entire idea of being "agnostic" is that you DON'T KNOW.
What is the meaning of life? The best answer I can come up with is this: genes propagate when they are good at making copies of themselves which in turn are good at making copies of themselves.
your vids are good, i enjoy them... but you should pace your speech a bit more... it's just a bit too fast. you are are obviously intelligent, and have very well formed thoughts on the subjects in your videos.... but you just speak too quickly, and it causes your words to run together a bit, making your vids a bit tough to follow.
take some hints from Condell on pace and enunciation and your vids will be so much better for it.
My question for the speaker is about how much salad he tosses within a given year? That's about the extent of my interest in this rambling stream-of-consciousness.
You ever notice how Atheists usually sound intelligent, like they've really thought about their conclusions but Theists often sound like high school dropouts who would believe anything they're told?
It's no coincidence, it's been well established that the more educated a person is, the more likely he is to be an Atheist. (Also the more religious a country is, the worse its morals are likely to be, ironically).
@warren52nz yeah you are correct, because atheists have a sense of reality vs fantasy and can use logic on what may work vs what wont work...can you really trust someone that actually thinks a fantasy works?...Or someone that knows better but pretends to be religious? either way a liar or an idiot is in charge...i allmost prefer the Liar theist because they are pragmatic enough to wing it, where a theist is living in a fantasy world is not being realistic and their will is more of a danger to us
@warren52nz Unlike theists, atheists have chosen a worldview which doesn't give them a "warm fuzzy feeling" (unlike 90% of humans tend to do.) TRUTH is what matters to them, not comforting narratives. Such smart people tend to be intellectuals; but most people dislike and distrust intellectuals. Sadly, intellectuals (like proteanview) have always been the only ones to become atheist/agnostic. Thus we're stuck with aggressive proselytizing religion dominating society, now and forever.
@bjggjb I heard that Atheism is growing faster than any religion in the US so maybe there's hope.
I don't think Atheists "choose" their worldview. It's more like we're all born Atheists, some are indoctrinated into religion from birth and can't shake it off later while some of the more intellectual people are able to see the problems with religion's foundations and drop it. As Dawkins said, "We're more alike than you may think, we both don't believe in 299 gods, I just go one god further." 8^)
@ShadowSea666 actually i have no religion. i thnk ne religion is a waste of time. i was just talking about theory and what i know and have learned from religions. now just cuz i have my own thought on tha bible and what not does not mean i condone it in ne way. ppl bound by one belief or religion are rlly trapped in life. i could come up with 1,000 plus theories to life. and tht doesnt mean i go by a single 1. point being ANYTHING is possible. so go suck on a fat cock just like u like. =)
you try hard to make sense but i have aquestion for you what do you get out of making these videos is it so called faith that inspires you what actually gives you the urge to make sense in anything at all does it really matter? are you the only real thing living. is everyone else simulations of your life. lol if you dont repent you will go to hell.you know deep down what is right
Use better examples, GWBush, come on. Meaning is made, not found not answered, we the human animal make meaning. It's abstract, vague and just a fucking word, for each of us the word meaning has a different definition. Also, find better places to video tape yourself, what are you on the fucking run from the law or something, shit. And don't just start taping in whatever your wearing, damn, put on some real fucking clothes dude.
Hey LadiesMan, you are quoting a book that somebody just made up. This is one thing that religious idiots just don't understand. If I don't believe that pornographic document is the word of god, then quoting it will have no affect on me. You must use logic and reason if you want thinking people to listen to you.
26 "Take this scroll of the law and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD, your God, that there it may be a witness against you. 27 FOR I ALREADY KNOW HOW REBELLIOUS AND STIFF-NECKED YOU WILL BE. Why, even now, while I am alive among you, YOU HAVE BEEN REBELS AGAINST THE LORD! How much more, then, after I am dead!
@LadiesMan660 have you heard of the saying dont believe everything you read and ladiesman660 ill leave you with one thing there are so many religions out there budism, johavas whitness, monks, greek gods, scientology etc i probs missed about 100 but you tell me which one is telling the truth ?
@holynah9 I am Catholic, I believe in JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY SON OF GOD. Believe that God the Father loves you and He sent His Only Begotten Son to die for your sins so that you would not have to go to hell. Believe that the wrath of God abides on the sinner but that eternal life is provided through Jesus Christ. Believe that you cannot save yourself by your own good works. John 3:15 says: That whosoever believeth in him (Jesus Christ) should not perish, but have eternal life
@LadiesMan660 - why does every Christians always repeat the Scripture that we've all heard already ? Do you really find it insightful ? Do you really think you're changing anyone's mind ?
21 then, when many evils and troubles befall them, this song, which their descendants will not have forgotten to recite, will bear witness against them. FOR I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE INCLINED TO DO EVEN AT THE PRESENT TIME, BEFORE I HAVE BROUGHT THEM INTO THE LAND WHICH I PROMISED ON OATH TO THEIR FATHERS.
1/3 Please read Deuteronomy 31: 21, 26-27. Everything in the Old Testament and New Testament is not just the history of Israelite, but of the whole world, present and future.
God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.
If You are not believe in God!!! Do you believe in Demon, Evil or Hitler? Just imagine without God!! The Demon and evil will send us all to HELL!! Do you want to go to HELL to join with Demon??? GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Please have faith in him (GOD). Jesus died for our sin so we can live with him in heaven.
Have faith in God. He love you and me that is why he died on the cross. Sometime we feel we are freedom but actually we are not. We are freedom in slavery of our sin. Ladyboylizard! have faith in God. God love you alot. He choose you and he will save you from hell. God is love and forgiveness. We are his children. Let pray for Ladyboylizard. Amen.
@LadiesMan660 THERES THE PROBLEM RIGHT THERE! jesus christ died for our sins! WHY would he do that? you realize that because he did that we are literally born into debt to jesus
1/3 All people have sinned against God. But, God is infinitely holy and righteous. He must punish the sinner, the Law- breaker. If He didn't, then His law is not Law for there is no law that is a law without a punishment. The punishment for breaking the Law is death, separation from God.
2/3 Therefore, we sinners need a way to escape the righteous judgment of God. Since we are stained by sin and cannot keep the Law of God, then the only one who could do what we cannot is God Himself. That is why Jesus is God in flesh. He is both divine and human.
3/3 He was made under the Law (Gal. 4:4) and He fulfilled it perfectly. Therefore, His sacrifice to God the Father on our behalf is of infinite value and is sufficient to cleanse all people from their sins and undo the offense to God.
0/3 Basically, the reason Jesus had to die for our sins was so that we could be forgiven and go to be with the Lord. Jesus is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; Col. 2:9) and only God can satisfy the Law requirements of a perfect life and perfect sacrifice that cleanses us of our sins.
Agnostic atheist, a very common position, and the only intellectually honest one. Almost all atheists realize they can't completely disprove god, and so are agnostic atheists.
Childern are born with a sinful nature Inherited from Adam and Eve when they fell out of perfect relations from God.
But if a baby or a child dies then they dont go to hell.becuse they lack understanding of right ans wrong..not till they become to the age of accountablity..dont ask what age that is cause I dont know.
Well, so be it. I'll pray for you anyway. I know you only speak that way cause you're ignorant to God's truth. I know what the world can do to you. I've been there myself but I thank God someone had the guts to bring the gospel to me. Even though i fought the truth just like you, they never gave up. Praise God for that! Now I know for a certainty where I'll be spending eternity. It doesn't end in death you know. It only begins there. Don't leave it too late. Gove loves you as he did me.
@bhcarr2009 So let me get this straight.. in order to save humanity from the sin of Eve (a naked teenage girl who was convinced by a talking snake to eat an apple from a magic tree), god sent his only son, who was also himself, to be tortured and murdered by a bronze age, sheep herding, illiterate people? Is that what we're supposed to believe?
Hebrew's 11:1 reads; Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.John 20:29 reads (in part) ...blesses are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 1 John 5:13 reads, These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the son of God;that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life,and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. So do I know I have eternal life? you bet ya! How? Through Faith. If you die tonight, do you know where you'd go
Yes I KNOW where I'd be tonight if i died! That's the whole point I think you're missing! You must have FAITH to believe what We believe! My Faith tells me that Jesus Christ died for my sins and God raised him up again on the third day defeating death!! God, through His Word,simply asks me to believe that in order to get to heaven, so I do. It's simple faith my friend, As far as who's wrong, only those who refuse to accept Christ as their personal saviour are wrong. Don't be fooled by them.
Listen, If you lost your faith for whatever reason, I'm sorry for you but you cant blame God for what happens in Life, Every day we are given choices to either follow God's lead or try to do it ourselves. Believe me friend, I have been saved for many years but have not always followed God's will. But enough was enough, Finally I made the best choice by letting God lead. I didn't say the mormons were wrong I simply believe one only needs the bible and not any other books to compliment it.
If Someone TOLD you that they are going to marry you and that you will have no choice in the matter, how would you feel? Kind of like a prisoner right? But if they said, Would you marry me? Doesn't that change the picture a bit? Now it's YOUR choice. That's why God gives each of us a free will. He doesn't want to Impose himself even though he could. Of course he knew what would happen to mankind. His will is to never send anyone to hell but we're making that choice on our own. He still wants u.
I know where your mindset is and I understand the way you think but that in itself is the problem. You are trying to rationalize God, the creator of everything that exist, with a mind that is in this life, limited in thought and knowledge. We cant even begin to know His unsearchable powers and logic while we yet live. You are talking about someone who created everything you see out of nothing at all! So, who are we to question him? I don't pretend to have all the answers to your questions nor
do I even think it nessessary. But without free will each and everyone of us would be damned to eternity in Hell. Do you really want to choose that? All I know for sure is that Jesus Christ died for my sins. He paid the price for me to go to heaven and through my faith I believe him. I did nothing on my own accord to "earn" my way in! Through your comments, you sound like something has shaken a faith you once had. Talk to me, how can I help you find your way back? Don't listen to the devil .TTYL
faith is not evidence for anything. Doesn't matter if it's written in your country's Constitution, the reality won't change because of that and you know it. Just because I believe or have faith Harry Potter is real, it won't make it real. He doesn't exist and never will.
Ah..but you do err my friend, Faith IS the eveidence of things unseen. That's what faith is!! I KNOW God exists. How do I know that? Take a look around you. Not just at people ( because they're inherently sinful) But at our world, our universe, our seas and everything else that exists. Do you not see the hand of God in that?How blinded are you at the worldly cares? Step back friend, go find a nice quiet place where you're all alone and listen to the still small quiet voice in your heart. That's
it. Listen and God may reveal himself to you. What he's saying is that he loved you so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die for you. All he asks in return is for you to believe in him. Believe that he raised his son from the dead and invite him into your heart and ask him to cleans your life. He Will. And now when you get to Heaven you cannot deny that you have heard the gospel for I have told you. Jesus Christ died for your sins. All you have to do is trust him and believe. It's that
simple. There is NOTHING you can do to EARN your way into Heaven. Read your Bible, it's all in there. It's the only TRUE book out there that gaurentees where you'll spend eternity. Don't follow the world, don't listen to the advice of this world. All you have to do is what I've already told you and you Will have eternal life in Heaven. It's not as hard as you make it out to be. Do you have faith enough to believe in the wind?? Can you see it?
What do you see god's hand in? In meteors destroying worlds and species randomly? In diseases that kill entire nations randomly? In planets/asteroids that have no reason for existing? In the appendices that has no use except for give us pain and medically removed?
What about fruits that are poisonous? Or wings in ostriches? Or eyes in blind cave fish?
You know... I don't think if I'm blind or you are seeing things that are not there...
There you go! What you're seeing and looking at is the results of sin in what was supposed to be a perfect world. Oh and by the way, If you're one of those that also worry about Global warming, dont. I can guarentee you the world will be around at least another 1000 years. If you would pick up a bible and read through it, you'd have a lot of your questions answered.You'd see why bad things happen and who knows, you may even begin to understand God and the future of mankind. I pray you do.
@franciso7 you are twisting what I've said. I'm not saying everything must be related to us somehow. It's exactly the contrary. Pluto or other planets don't need a reason to exist. That's what I've said.
@darksurvivor00 i believe in god...not the way others do. ppl see god as someon e tht is a mirical wrker tht is supposed to make life good for us and help us in time of need. i do not go by religion. heck all religions r prolly mostly if not completely wrong. it does basically say in the bible we should all have a healthy fear of god. god is not trying to win our love over he is trying to test us to c if we can remain faithful and beable to resist our own pigheadedness and the negativity.
@darksurvivor00 describe to me why life is real, how the big bang happened, how things evolve, how intelligence and free will happened and its not just reactions to certain things like gravity, if you can give me real, contemplatable answers, that aren't stupid obviously wrong lies like alot of pointless evolution is, then I may convert, but you also have to tell me more than just "God isnt real because i cant see him" Can you see the air? No, are you breathing and living? Yes. Have some faith.
@metalheadedsaint hi, dude. We don't have all the answers to these questions, but just because we can't explain something, doesn't mean we have to start inventing stories right? It's way easier to answer all your questions sitting my ass in my chair and saying "it was an invisible being that can do anything that created the big bang". Want answers? Study and read books. And I'm not talking about the bible.
@darksurvivor00 so if you get diagnosed with cancer having faith or having hope wont matter? sure it may not be real but humans need something to believe in to stay calm and stay sane otherwise the world will be anarchy worser than it already is.
@darksurvivor00 exactly my point...but who are athiests to be telling christians or catholics that they are wrong? i mean has an athiest died and actually came back to tell us theres no god and no afterlife? exactly no...athiests always criticise christians for believing in a "book" yet humans in the early centuries used to believe the world was square and you were an idiot if you believed otherwise...what if like the earth the bible ends up being something else and not just a square book?
@poxflaza Hi there. Actually your point works from the christians to athiests more than otherwise. See that your book tell us that we go to heaven or hell after we're dead. No one ever came back to confirm there are such places. Atheism is an ideology that claims deities don't exist due to the lack of evidence. We don't have a holy book that claims "there is no heaven after we die". We simply admit we don't know, instead of mess around inventing stories. Hope that makes sense.
@darksurvivor00 By the same token being punished for a crime does not mean that crime is wrong. There is a massive amount of evidence from all over the world that would suggest murder is against the law. There is no evidence that murder is wrong.
Sp after all those forewords, here's my answer: look at monty-python. Sounds bizarre ? Well, I dont have one. 2/3 of all people believe in the afterlife and a place at gods side. Good for them; I don't. So I have to look for something else. Something smaller. If you continue to ask, everything looses meaning (me, country, menkind, earth, galaxy...).
But thats no different than "sitting beside god" - what's that supposed to be useful for ?
and finally, the one and only question we all want to get an answer: is it all over, when we die ?
Of course everyone - even atheists - would love to get a positive answer on that. But other dreams also won't come true just by praying (and I did try that honestly in the past).
No war ended, no disease stopped. Just the opposite: new diseases such as AIDS appeared. All of my prayers - useless.
Instead of believing and praising such a cynic god, it's better to not believe.
there are thousands of other questions to ask and asnwer, before we even come to the details of the rules of each individual religion: shoud we eat pork, or veal, or beef, any meat at all ?
Work on any particular day or not, allow homosexuality, nudity etc.
Back to the god: doesn't it have more to do than care for the dress code in any sam little village of iran ? Or naked kids in a lake in the US. I mean: it has to care for a universe - right ?
You should not mix the question of the existence of god with the correctness of any religion. These are two, almost independent issues.
First, is there a god or not.
Well, even if it exists, did it create the world, or is it part of it ? Is it an alien who came to earth (like mormons believe) ? Is it a cruel, evil god, like the christians, muslim and jews believe, or are there many of them, like the greek thought ? If it's one, where there others before whoch got killed by that god ?
I totally agree with you, at the moment nothing explains life. I was wrong to say that Evolution explains everything about life, however, I think you would agree that Evolution makes the most sense out of all the theories out there.
Evolution explains evolution of life. Abiogenesis studies how non-life becomes life, or organic material. As recently as May 09 of this year scientists said they have finally cracked how ribonucleotides naturally form as well. Just adding that in here because creationists like to say evolution doesn't address where life comes from and then they totally ignore abiogenesis. They say it yields no findings but they just ignore them because they didn't have to deal withit. They'll ignore this too now
@77705000000000000000 ive studied quantum physics. I've proved there is no god. I believe there is a source of energy. But that is totally different. Not a sentient source of energy.Religion is just rewritten forms of our explanation of what we didn't understand long ago. And really, people still cling on to it because of their upbringing, and through how convincing theyve made the rewritten versions. So the god we are trying to describe is false.This is why i dont believe in any god.
I've read many answers of the meaning of life. One of the only persons I find who got it right was Saint Thomas Aquinas. the goal of human existence is union and eternal fellowship with God. Specifically, this goal is achieved through the beatific vision, an event in which a person experiences perfect, unending happiness by seeing the very essence of God.
When a man meet a woman (or other way round) and after some time they see they truely love each other, they can;t immagine their lives without each other. Even if someone has never experience such feeling and states he/she doesn't need that insane, illogical feeling, this can't disprove LOVE being the best thing a man can experience.
I honestly don't think there is one. Hypothetically speaking, if there is a god, why the hell would he sit around and watch us and ultimately judge us when he could be off creating planets and performing other science experiments and such (after all we haven't found the end of the universe and if god created earth he probably created all of the other galaxys and crap) So, odds are there probably isnt a meaning of life and we are just some science experiment. Nice video by the way :)
well i have to say i've watched a few of your videos because you latch on to pat condell's videos with your messages. your videos highlight why stupid people should not be on camera as they will inevitably embarras them self. your way out of your depth mate, why not make new videos about childrens cartoons.
I think these two words mean two different things and its obvious. Your God is not my God and am sure its not the same God other people I know believe in. All I know is that people have a different concept s of God. And I have described mine below and am happy with that. If you're not, then its your problem.
i really like this video because religion is pretty much all the same except minor tweeks( with some exceptions) and trying to decide one all emcompasing one is kinda like spliting hairs, and it is only the one persons buisness to begin whit
God exists, but each and everyone of us have different concepts of God. My God is a good spirit that tells me to do good things and the devil (Satan) is that evil spirit that tells me to do bad things. In each and everyone of us we have both. Religions need to teach people to do more good than evil things. There's no God up there who will come down one day take people to heaven or create a paradise for his loving ones. Each and everyone one of us has a God (good spirit), let's use it.
I dont think I have anything to lose. I'm not expecting a super being to provide for me, No. I work hard to support my kids and try to keep fit and stay out of trouble just to be there for my family. All I do, I do by myself. When my time comes, I'll die just like any one of you & thats the end of my life. There's no other life anywhere. This is the life I have and I make the best out of it for myself and my family.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
God is the good spirit that makes you do good. Period. We should preach to people to utilise this good spirit in them because everyone has it. This should be the focus. Its not good to hide behind a certain figure and steal moneys from pooor people. Why cant your God give you some fund raising ideas to rais money? Church is just a money making institution and poor people are blinded by empty promises of this unknown God. I wont fall prey to it.
i used to attend church regularly. i stopped going because christian doctrine is stupid. if jesus died for my sins then i don't have any, so how can i face judgement if i have no sin. if you say i have sin then you say that jesus died in vain. you can't have it both ways.
well people believe what they want to believe...its all so stupid.. its not shallow.. people say you have freedom of religion but alot of ignorant fucks try to convert people.. i say if you want spread the word.. dont force people into it... and a lot of people wouldnt die for something that cant be proven to existence or logical.. god does not seem logical... you dont just appear there and make everything...
finally, someone who is fucking intelligent, and doesnt make a religious video thats sole purpose to bash christianiy or athieism. thank you.

An Agnostic, that understands why religion and morality is important.

If man stops caring for his fellow man, society, boundaries, authority, and only caters to its urges. How does man differ from animals? How many animals do you know that create complex societies that have unlimited potential through science, technology, and destruction? This is why man is meant to follow the "DEPTH" of god, and not the literal translations of it being just a book.
If you deny the depth of god, eventually you will discover that with unlimited freedom. Comes unlimited destruction

The concept of god isn't about the story itself, or the individual it identifies. If you want to understand god in any "compassionate" religion, look at the depth behind the story and wisdom. It's about the morality, in which god realizes that man is imperfect. Man was given the ability to determine right from wrong, and man must remember he is potentially imperfect with his actions. If man comes to discover there is no such thing as morality, man will stop caring for his fellow man/society.

Answer: No. U R quite right. Just the act of asking such rediculous questions is a waqste of time. Life, Joy, Love, Beauty, do not require a justification for exsisting. Nobody deserves being punished for being human or for being born. Moral behavior is in our own hands, not those of some inaginary Deity.

very well said. Great response. I agree that any agnostic worth talking with has to admit "atheist overtones" as well, or accept that unicorns, fairies, a toaster orbiting around Jupiter, or the flying spaghetti monster all are just as probable to exist as this mysterious "God" stuff.

The word "agnostic" comes to us from 'a' + 'gnostic'. Gnosis is (spiritual) knowledge.
The entire idea of being "agnostic" is that you DON'T KNOW.
What is the meaning of life? The best answer I can come up with is this: genes propagate when they are good at making copies of themselves which in turn are good at making copies of themselves.

You ever notice how Atheists usually sound intelligent, like they've really thought about their conclusions but Theists often sound like high school dropouts who would believe anything they're told?
It's no coincidence, it's been well established that the more educated a person is, the more likely he is to be an Atheist. (Also the more religious a country is, the worse its morals are likely to be, ironically).

@warren52nz Unlike theists, atheists have chosen a worldview which doesn't give them a "warm fuzzy feeling" (unlike 90% of humans tend to do.) TRUTH is what matters to them, not comforting narratives. Such smart people tend to be intellectuals; but most people dislike and distrust intellectuals. Sadly, intellectuals (like proteanview) have always been the only ones to become atheist/agnostic. Thus we're stuck with aggressive proselytizing religion dominating society, now and forever.

@bjggjb I heard that Atheism is growing faster than any religion in the US so maybe there's hope.
I don't think Atheists "choose" their worldview. It's more like we're all born Atheists, some are indoctrinated into religion from birth and can't shake it off later while some of the more intellectual people are able to see the problems with religion's foundations and drop it. As Dawkins said, "We're more alike than you may think, we both don't believe in 299 gods, I just go one god further." 8^)

God is Love: It's Unconditional
God is Love, and His love is very different from human love. God's love is unconditional, and it's not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable or because we make Him feel good; He loves us because He is love. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.

1/3 All people have sinned against God. But, God is infinitely holy and righteous. He must punish the sinner, the Law- breaker. If He didn't, then His law is not Law for there is no law that is a law without a punishment. The punishment for breaking the Law is death, separation from God.

@poxflaza Hi there. Actually your point works from the christians to athiests more than otherwise. See that your book tell us that we go to heaven or hell after we're dead. No one ever came back to confirm there are such places. Atheism is an ideology that claims deities don't exist due to the lack of evidence. We don't have a holy book that claims "there is no heaven after we die". We simply admit we don't know, instead of mess around inventing stories. Hope that makes sense.

Of course everyone - even atheists - would love to get a positive answer on that. But other dreams also won't come true just by praying (and I did try that honestly in the past).
No war ended, no disease stopped. Just the opposite: new diseases such as AIDS appeared. All of my prayers - useless.
Instead of believing and praising such a cynic god, it's better to not believe.

You should not mix the question of the existence of god with the correctness of any religion. These are two, almost independent issues.
First, is there a god or not.
Well, even if it exists, did it create the world, or is it part of it ? Is it an alien who came to earth (like mormons believe) ? Is it a cruel, evil god, like the christians, muslim and jews believe, or are there many of them, like the greek thought ? If it's one, where there others before whoch got killed by that god ?

Evolution explains evolution of life. Abiogenesis studies how non-life becomes life, or organic material. As recently as May 09 of this year scientists said they have finally cracked how ribonucleotides naturally form as well. Just adding that in here because creationists like to say evolution doesn't address where life comes from and then they totally ignore abiogenesis. They say it yields no findings but they just ignore them because they didn't have to deal withit. They'll ignore this too now

@77705000000000000000 ive studied quantum physics. I've proved there is no god. I believe there is a source of energy. But that is totally different. Not a sentient source of energy.Religion is just rewritten forms of our explanation of what we didn't understand long ago. And really, people still cling on to it because of their upbringing, and through how convincing theyve made the rewritten versions. So the god we are trying to describe is false.This is why i dont believe in any god.

I suggest you start with gametogenesis.
Take it from there.

When someone asks "What is the meaning of my life?" just answer "You. You are the meaning of your life."

Yeah, I do. =)
It's getting people to listen that's the trick. Most people don't actually want to know. They only want to hear what they want to hear...
Like this guy on the video.
He couldn't care less what the actual truth is... as long as he can keep on doing whatever he likes.
So he diverts the question away from any possible answer and himself, in order to "dodge the bullet," so to speak.
And He feels that he has perfected this "art" to such a degree as to brag about it. Lol!

I've read many answers of the meaning of life. One of the only persons I find who got it right was Saint Thomas Aquinas. the goal of human existence is union and eternal fellowship with God. Specifically, this goal is achieved through the beatific vision, an event in which a person experiences perfect, unending happiness by seeing the very essence of God.

I have a question, I have a question!
What is the meaning, purpose,....point in this video?
Basicly your answer to the question:
"What is the meaning of life?"
is
"Why bother asking?"
It irritates me when people answer a question with a question...
If anyone sincerely wants to know, then come ask me. :-)

When a man meet a woman (or other way round) and after some time they see they truely love each other, they can;t immagine their lives without each other. Even if someone has never experience such feeling and states he/she doesn't need that insane, illogical feeling, this can't disprove LOVE being the best thing a man can experience.
My experience with God is alike.
For where your treasure is, there is your heart.
mcfunthomas 2 years ago
I honestly don't think there is one. Hypothetically speaking, if there is a god, why the hell would he sit around and watch us and ultimately judge us when he could be off creating planets and performing other science experiments and such (after all we haven't found the end of the universe and if god created earth he probably created all of the other galaxys and crap) So, odds are there probably isnt a meaning of life and we are just some science experiment. Nice video by the way :)

your voice is annoying but you do have a point.
i can remember trying to find the meaning of life only to find 5 different ones over the years.
live to die but the point is to make it better for those whom we precede
instead of being a drinking smoking drug abusing sex freak.

well i have to say i've watched a few of your videos because you latch on to pat condell's videos with your messages. your videos highlight why stupid people should not be on camera as they will inevitably embarras them self. your way out of your depth mate, why not make new videos about childrens cartoons.

I think these two words mean two different things and its obvious. Your God is not my God and am sure its not the same God other people I know believe in. All I know is that people have a different concept s of God. And I have described mine below and am happy with that. If you're not, then its your problem.

God is real.
He is Creator.
But his job is not to make our physical life good.
Meaning of our physical life is to feed our soul for next life.
Mesina2 2 years ago
God exists, but each and everyone of us have different concepts of God. My God is a good spirit that tells me to do good things and the devil (Satan) is that evil spirit that tells me to do bad things. In each and everyone of us we have both. Religions need to teach people to do more good than evil things. There's no God up there who will come down one day take people to heaven or create a paradise for his loving ones. Each and everyone one of us has a God (good spirit), let's use it.

mcfunthomas 2 years ago
I dont think I have anything to lose. I'm not expecting a super being to provide for me, No. I work hard to support my kids and try to keep fit and stay out of trouble just to be there for my family. All I do, I do by myself. When my time comes, I'll die just like any one of you & thats the end of my life. There's no other life anywhere. This is the life I have and I make the best out of it for myself and my family.

I meant this:
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
We need LOVE from above.
mcfunthomas 2 years ago
God is the good spirit that makes you do good. Period. We should preach to people to utilise this good spirit in them because everyone has it. This should be the focus. Its not good to hide behind a certain figure and steal moneys from pooor people. Why cant your God give you some fund raising ideas to rais money? Church is just a money making institution and poor people are blinded by empty promises of this unknown God. I wont fall prey to it.
makheyi 2 years ago
@makheyi
you say my God can't give me some fund raising ideas to raise money; but you can't prove it ... n you won't. Period.
Next, you say Church is just a money making institution; but you can't prove it.... n you won't. Period.
Finally, you say poor people are blinded by empty promises of this unknown God; but you can't prove it.... n you won't. Period.
Conclusion: you are disinformed n disinform others. What's the source n the purpose of this?
mcfunthomas 2 years ago
i used to attend church regularly. i stopped going because christian doctrine is stupid. if jesus died for my sins then i don't have any, so how can i face judgement if i have no sin. if you say i have sin then you say that jesus died in vain. you can't have it both ways.

it happens that ppl don't listen carefully what is said in church; then they draw their own conclusion which is stupid. So sad, so shallow.

well people believe what they want to believe...its all so stupid.. its not shallow.. people say you have freedom of religion but alot of ignorant fucks try to convert people.. i say if you want spread the word.. dont force people into it... and a lot of people wouldnt die for something that cant be proven to existence or logical.. god does not seem logical... you dont just appear there and make everything...
