The microcosm is connected to the macrocosm.......as above so below!!
But i can see why you might not wanna attribute urself as an atheist. Atheism carries a very bad reputation and most people realize that so they dont associate themselves with it. There alot of so called "Christians" out there, that are actually atheists they just claim to be religious becuz its appealing.
If you dont define urself as a theist, then by definition you're an Atheist. I think you might see it as Theists believe in one thing and Atheists believe in another. which is partially wrong. The point is... once you're not a theist, you're automatically an Atheist. A-Theist = Not-Theist just as A-biotic = Not-Biotic. If ur not biotic, then ur automatically Abiotic. kinda like that.
When you take the miraculous element, you take the historic element, you look in to the Scriptures and you see an authenticity and all it all points to one perfect person, the person of Christ.
If the Bible made several assertions that have proven to be false either historically or philosophical or in the existential realm, if you see that systematic failure than you have reason to say I do not trust this document, it is not in keeping with how I am seeing history and reality.
Why the Bible and not any other systems of thought? To start with the scriptures, and ask yourself, here are 66 books, written by over 40 different authors, over 1500 years, books on history, books on philosophical thinking, books on theological thinking and systematic thinking.
You could change your argument around. If an atheist asks a person, ''are you an atheist,'' and that person says ''Yes,'' then that person who asked the question will feel their view validated. That does not mean that view is right. Just as if a Christian asks a person, ''are you a Christian?'' and that person says, ''Yes.'' Truth exists whether anyone believes in or not. There is such a thing as absolute truth.
''Do you believe that I have a pen on my table?'' You do not know whether I have a pen on my table or not, but you could argue that there are rational reasons to believe it is more likely that I have a pen on my table than not, such as, my computer is on my table, people usually have paper on their table to write things down, so it would be logical that I would have a pen on my table.
Peopld have there own beleifs but you all will see one day in this generation PRAISE THE LORD!!!! if you dont know what im talking about then read the bible!!!!
I like your perspective on the question, however I disagree with your supposition on the position of atheists. Atheism is a response to theistic claims. Theism addresses belief and not knowledge. Atheists simple reject the theistic belief that there is a god or gods. Most atheists are agnostic towards knowledge that there is a god or gods. However they do not believe that there is any god or gods because of lack of evidence to support such claims. This is the most common form of atheism.
I'm not an atheist, but I'm sure there would be some that would STRONGLY disagree with your definition. There doesn't seem to be any ambiguity with those who define themselves as atheist when it comes to the GOD thing. LOL. Thank you for listening, Queen! ONE LOVE
God is GOoD (the traditional nursery rhyme says it..............Devil is De evil (thee evil) its that simple. I do believe in a Heavenly Father I just dont acknowledge this God (dog spelled backwards) that priests rape lil boys in the name of, that pastors rob the poor in the name of, that killers go to war and rob other countries in the name of. I will not be a supporter of those people by using the same name that THEY use while committing acts of evil on mankind.
Roman mythology says the founders of Rome (Remis/Romulus) sucked on the breast of a female dog for survival. At later ecumenical councils DOG became GOD. Zoomorphic. No different than Egyptian or other animal depiction of a God like Characteristic myth. It's noted that Early Romans myths of multiple GODs' influence the Trinity found in Christianity. ie Zeus having sex with mortal women (Hercules) then having demi-gods. GOD, Mary (mortal)= Jesus Christ. part man part GOD.
african americans should view religion the same way they view the word SHIT for generations people have beat their kids into believing that the word is a bad word. Now the most intelligent people judge someone in a negative manner based upon the useage of the word. If they dig deep enough they will find that they were taught to respect words out of traditional ignorance passed down from generation to generation. Christianity did not exist in Africa..think about it..slaves were beat into belief.

@KeeptheCommandments ya bro, God is good, I read that Bible, its hold wisdom and truth. We humans have sinned and gone so far from God. So today we believe in things like solipsism, which is the devil's tricks, playing with your mind. Some of us believe we are God, like this punk ass nigga, saying "ultimately it's about you" The bible talks about solipsism and evil doctrine and ways being thought in the end days.
Someone like you has defined the ultimate hybrid, that the goverment has created. YOU, yall lokk for aliens and other life form and havent realized they are talking about you. So I ask You do u believe in God? If no the what is ur president to you define that, what is your job? define that. Who are you? define that. where are you going? define that. What is your proof of where people come from? define that. You wonder why they push the alien agenda so hard? they are talking about YOU.
So the next time they ask you who you are just say. Slave no 101, the experiment, the hybrid to the former slave, the ultimate slave. That is my duty sir. Get real brother and see what you are and who you are. The Bible is a history book not just a book. It tells us who we are and where we come from. If you cant believe that and even our goverment knows this, how wise do that make you.
The bible you currently read was put together in 625 A.D. by a council of Greco-Roman homosexuals. Please...read something other than that book. You can't prove Spiderman exists by using Marvel comic books as a source.
LOL LOL LOL ur joking right. So where do u come from. Who created the bees, who made honey, what is war and what do we fight over, why do you work, why dont you create what want. who controls the sun, who moves the earth. are u that crazy. who controls death, the devil is in plain sight to u i bet. u cant figure it out bra unless u have wisdom. Wisdom has eluded you and now you are stuck with ignorance. you have been brainwashed in darwins theroy, and have now created the perfect ultimate slave
If you dont believe in evil. why get upset with the murder. Why get upset with slavery, its their right. Why care about the homeless? You logic is off, You have no basis because you have defined yourself as and alien, hybrid, avatar, the perfect creation of mans slave. Whom they can control at the stroke of a pen. You have no wisdom. yet you utter many words with no basic foundation. A house cannot stand without a foundation. And you have build an house on thin air, not even sand.

I think Scandinavia is not very religious because Their history is not as deeply connected to Christendom and the rise of western civilization as for example France. Europe is mixed, there are some very religious countries like Poland, Cyprus etc. and some not very religious countries. Apathy may be one of the reasons too.
Perhaps this article will help a little, Scandinavian Nonbelievers, Which Is Not to Say Atheists:
nytimes . com / 2009 / 02 / 28/us/28beliefs.html? pagewanted=1
@xtrashed Scandinavia has been Christian for a longer time than USA. Scandinavia is part of the western civilization, and the Scandinavian coutries are actually condidered among the best countries to live in, in the world (Norway beeing no. 1). People here don't call themselves 'atheists' because it's a natural thing not to believe in God here. We don't call ourselves anti-stamp collectors either. We don't talk about it, because almost everyone are atheists. After all I live here...
Apathy may be a reason. What I notice about Europe, and I live in the UK myself, is that those countries with a more Protestant history are more secular today. The countries with more Catholic tradition are more religious today, Poland, Greece, Cyprus, Italy. The Church is growing in Denmark due to the large amount of immigrants from: Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Poland and Iraq.
@xtrashed The Christian church isn't growing in Denmark. More and more people become atheists. On the other hand, the Muslim church is growing here. But on the long term I think almost everyone will become atheists.
The Catholic Church is growing in Norway. As the New York Times article suggested, most Scandinavians do not consider themselves atheists, but they are apathetic towards religion.
According to the people interviewed in the New York Times, they do not like to call themselves atheists. Those two countries are probably are the most non religious, so?
the concept of a creator god has certainly been deemed mute (whether theists accept it or not) for if you accept naturalistic evidence you will accept the laws that bind.
newtons third law disproved creation. here's how he explains that energy can only be converted not lost or gained. every action = reaction.
all the energy in the universe was there before the big bang.
it's energy that makes up matter.
if energy is infinite in life then the universe must also be. meaning no creator.
ramio1983 give up... this guy is supremely smart and is totally thinking out side the box. stop defending your so called "god" because mrholipsism just owned you XD..that is a great question now thx mrhop " what is your concept of god" now i know what to say to the church people XD
Very good video. I like that question "what is your God concept". I don't do too well with labels, though (atheist, theist). Those words have strong energies behind them that automatically put you in a category to be judged by the intolerable.
My God concept is "Consciousness". I am consciousness that is perceiving in this reality. I am aware that I exist, evolving and actively creating in this realm. I believe that every person is "God", and God is every person, perceiving in this illusory world from their own particular vantage point, or experience.
People want evidence for God? They want God to be testable based on our laws? They are giving in to the idea that God is a man made concept, you cant test God! People need to understand what God is meant to be, the giver and the maker of the laws, so it makes more sense he can test us as opposed to us testing him. People asking for "evidence" are basically saying, i want to test God based on the laws of man - which goes against what God is - he is the law maker and the tester.!
God is the first, the last, the evolver, the creator, the provider, the sustainer, the giver, the taker.
Hence he is untestable and there is no "evidence" for him based on the laws he provided to us. If we tested God he would not be God, but would indeed be a man made fiction. God by his definition is beyond our comprehension and beyond the human psyche.
So, would it be fair to say that you believe God exists outside of your own mind? If so, how many other things exist outside of your own mind? Is God exclusive with this concept? Also, if something can exist outside of your own mind, how does it yield any influence over your thoughts, your morality, your righteousness, etc.? Thank you in advance.
God exists both in and out of my consciousness. Every element that puts this world together is Gods thumbprint on our physical world - yet Gods divinity is his connection and unicen to our souls, yet only souls that recognize and acknowledge him.
Many things can exist out of our mind, in most cases these things are unknown yet God is the first, last and eternal - hence the fashioner of all things, mind, body and soul.
Its influence is our humbleness towards his majesty,power and grace.
Thank you for the manner and spirit of your reply. I have some questions, if you don't mind. You refer to God in the masculine (he, him). If God exists outside of your mind and your consciousness why do you attach a gender to the concept? Also, is the attachment of a gender to the God concept further affirmation of a human attempt to understand the totality of existence itself according to their own human paradigm?
Thank you for the questions, i genuinely enjoy them. You question why i refer to God in the masculine form. To me God would possibly be identified as an "It" - yet i consider God in his description to be spiritually bonded to us more like a friend, seeming most of my friends are male it is no more than a figure of speech,God being an "It" is more fitting verbally but it does not grant enough respect to him being close to me.
We find comfort in giving God a gender, makes him feel closer to us.
No it is not. There are rational reasons to believe in God. If you look at astrophysical cosmology you see there is a need for a singularity, something outside of space and time to create the Universe.
It is clear that nothing comes from nothing. Something with sufficient power had to bring the universe in to existence? It demands a singularity outside of space and time.
I think the term singularity comes from scientists themselves, in every Big Bang models there the existence of a singularity and the existence of a singularity demands the existence of an external element to the Universe.
The possibilities of a universe that would not be gobbled without the existence of a Creator are simply improvable, to a point of mathematical impossibility. What can we conclude of this? First that the Creator is really smart... and second that it must be a loving one, because He could choose so many more violent and chaotic alternatives, that it really has to make you wonder.
There are signs within science that are showing evidence for the existence of a Creator.
It becomes less possible that there are explanations because the Big Bang model has been scientifically established, through refinement and revision. It is harder and harder to defend any other theory of the origin of the universe. God is outside space and time, therfore He can not be verified by empirical science. But there are signs within science that are pointing in the direction of a need for a Creator.
Any evidence for what? This is astrophysical cosmology. If you are looking for science to find empirical evidence for God then that is wrong. Science is showing signs of a need for a Creator of the Universe but God can not be empirically tested. I recommend the channel ''drcraigvideos.''
@Ecite Why is it less possible that it was created by a man in another dimension who farted? And his fart caused quantum fluctuations that made this universe. Is that less possible? How so? Prove that this isn't the case. -___-
Ask a scientist. These are things I have read and I see no reason why they should not be taken seriously. If a man existed in another dimension then how did he come to be?
To answer your question about a man in another dimension who caused quantum fluctuations that made the Universe, well eventually their must have been a creator for the other "man" in another universe, prime mover argument simply expanded.right?
And too, That would mean that we would have to have created ourselves. Because we're here. Now. And, if that were so, we would have to have existed before we existed. Otherwise, we could not have created. Anything. Much less the entire universe. And ourselves.
Every Big Bang theory including the Quantum theory confirms the existence of singularities. The need to find an explanation to the Universe, drives us to seek a force which is previous and independent of the Universe.
Spectacular video!! If these were the Golden Ages of Egypt you would have been a Shaman or high priest. I cant 'believe' how right and exact you are. Lol.
My mother asked me one day if I believed in god. I told her that I don't believe in anything at all. She said that was the saddest thing she'd ever heard and that I can't go through life not believing in anything. I said, I live by what I know. Anything else that I don't know and that I may need to know, I take the necessary steps in order to find out about it.
I dont beleive in GOD. I know GOD because I know myself. TO know oneself at the deepest level is to simultaneuosly know GOD.The fact that this "god" of organized religion cant be seen, touched, heard etc is what sustains these religions.Its the mystique surrounding this "god" that theyve convinced us is somewhere in the invisible realm looking downand jotting down all of our wrongdoings that makes it so effective. Yet everything we supposedly know about him comes from MENbecause he doesnt speak
I don "believe" in anything. I prefer to KNOW. I Prefer FACTS. I prefeR EVIDENCE. I prefer understanding that comes through experience and observation. I prefer things that are SELF-evident as you said. "belief" is nothing more than WISHFUL THINKING. THey call it "faith" but its nothing more than psyche warfare. Religion and "faith" are the most effective appeals to the worst fears that people have. THey invented this fiery underworld region called "hell" to scare you into believing
If you don't believe in a God, then you MUST maintain an answer for why the Earth exists and every form of life in this fishbowl, the universe, space, and outer space. If you don't believe in a Creator of all things, then what was the original catalyst? What was the first "existence" in existence? If one believes in God they certainly know that God isn't bound to our senses, that wouldn't be godlike would it?
To suggest their is no God is to suggest thier is no you. Just think about it. Dont we have laws that govern certain things? I.E the law of physics. A plain flies do to certain laws one must adhire too. Thats the key for black people. We have forgotten Gods Laws. Isn't there the law of Gravity? If you jump off a building won't you fall? These laws and others are all aroound us. Just because you dont see it doesn't mean it's not there. Don't you use the remote to turn the channel?
and when you live Gods Law. You don't have to believe in God. You know GOD. And know i'm far from cristian, hebrew or muslim. I am African Kametic! Hotep family.
I don't believe in anything. I like to live in the "knowing" and always keep an open mind for new knowledge; we are, or should be forever learning. I know that 2x2=4!!

Very good video. I like that question "what is your God concept". I don't do too well with labels, though (atheist, theist). Those words have strong energies behind them that automatically put you in a category to be judged by the intolerable.

My God concept is "Consciousness". I am consciousness that is perceiving in this reality. I am aware that I exist, evolving and actively creating in this realm. I believe that every person is "God", and God is every person, perceiving in this illusory world from their own particular vantage point, or experience.

People want evidence for God? They want God to be testable based on our laws? They are giving in to the idea that God is a man made concept, you cant test God! People need to understand what God is meant to be, the giver and the maker of the laws, so it makes more sense he can test us as opposed to us testing him. People asking for "evidence" are basically saying, i want to test God based on the laws of man - which goes against what God is - he is the law maker and the tester.!

What is your God concept?
MrHolipsism 2 years ago
My God concept is this.
God is the first, the last, the evolver, the creator, the provider, the sustainer, the giver, the taker.
Hence he is untestable and there is no "evidence" for him based on the laws he provided to us. If we tested God he would not be God, but would indeed be a man made fiction. God by his definition is beyond our comprehension and beyond the human psyche.

So, would it be fair to say that you believe God exists outside of your own mind? If so, how many other things exist outside of your own mind? Is God exclusive with this concept? Also, if something can exist outside of your own mind, how does it yield any influence over your thoughts, your morality, your righteousness, etc.? Thank you in advance.
MrHolipsism 2 years ago
God exists both in and out of my consciousness. Every element that puts this world together is Gods thumbprint on our physical world - yet Gods divinity is his connection and unicen to our souls, yet only souls that recognize and acknowledge him.
Many things can exist out of our mind, in most cases these things are unknown yet God is the first, last and eternal - hence the fashioner of all things, mind, body and soul.
Its influence is our humbleness towards his majesty,power and grace.
ramio1983 2 years ago 2
Thank you for the manner and spirit of your reply. I have some questions, if you don't mind. You refer to God in the masculine (he, him). If God exists outside of your mind and your consciousness why do you attach a gender to the concept? Also, is the attachment of a gender to the God concept further affirmation of a human attempt to understand the totality of existence itself according to their own human paradigm?
MrHolipsism 2 years ago
Thank you for the questions, i genuinely enjoy them. You question why i refer to God in the masculine form. To me God would possibly be identified as an "It" - yet i consider God in his description to be spiritually bonded to us more like a friend, seeming most of my friends are male it is no more than a figure of speech,God being an "It" is more fitting verbally but it does not grant enough respect to him being close to me.
We find comfort in giving God a gender, makes him feel closer to us.

No it is not. There are rational reasons to believe in God. If you look at astrophysical cosmology you see there is a need for a singularity, something outside of space and time to create the Universe.

@xtrashed Singularity does not necessarily=conventional concept of God.

It is clear that nothing comes from nothing. Something with sufficient power had to bring the universe in to existence? It demands a singularity outside of space and time.
xtrashed 1 year ago
@Ecite
I think the term singularity comes from scientists themselves, in every Big Bang models there the existence of a singularity and the existence of a singularity demands the existence of an external element to the Universe.

@Ecite
The Big Bang model is more and more refined and it is less and less possible that there other explanations.
xtrashed 1 year ago
@xtrashed Why is it less possible? Where did you get this information? Are these other possibilities empirical evidence for a deity? In what way?
Ecite 1 year ago
@Ecite
The possibilities of a universe that would not be gobbled without the existence of a Creator are simply improvable, to a point of mathematical impossibility. What can we conclude of this? First that the Creator is really smart... and second that it must be a loving one, because He could choose so many more violent and chaotic alternatives, that it really has to make you wonder.
There are signs within science that are showing evidence for the existence of a Creator.
xtrashed 1 year ago
@Ecite
It becomes less possible that there are explanations because the Big Bang model has been scientifically established, through refinement and revision. It is harder and harder to defend any other theory of the origin of the universe. God is outside space and time, therfore He can not be verified by empirical science. But there are signs within science that are pointing in the direction of a need for a Creator.

@Ecite
So when you said God is just a concept, that is factually incorrect. From a Christian and from a scientific perspective it is wrong.
xtrashed 1 year ago
@xtrashed Oh really? Got any evidence that it is not a concept?
Ecite 1 year ago
@Ecite
Any evidence for what? This is astrophysical cosmology. If you are looking for science to find empirical evidence for God then that is wrong. Science is showing signs of a need for a Creator of the Universe but God can not be empirically tested. I recommend the channel ''drcraigvideos.''

@Ecite Why is it less possible that it was created by a man in another dimension who farted? And his fart caused quantum fluctuations that made this universe. Is that less possible? How so? Prove that this isn't the case. -___-

Ask a scientist. These are things I have read and I see no reason why they should not be taken seriously. If a man existed in another dimension then how did he come to be?
xtrashed 1 year ago
@Ecite
To answer your question about a man in another dimension who caused quantum fluctuations that made the Universe, well eventually their must have been a creator for the other "man" in another universe, prime mover argument simply expanded.right?
xtrashed 1 year ago
@Ecite
And too, That would mean that we would have to have created ourselves. Because we're here. Now. And, if that were so, we would have to have existed before we existed. Otherwise, we could not have created. Anything. Much less the entire universe. And ourselves.

Every Big Bang theory including the Quantum theory confirms the existence of singularities. The need to find an explanation to the Universe, drives us to seek a force which is previous and independent of the Universe.

Can the mind exist outside of it's self & can existence exist out of it's self existence?
I think the mind is consciousness & consciousness is existence. To be conscious is to know, react & to have a purpose.

My mother asked me one day if I believed in god. I told her that I don't believe in anything at all. She said that was the saddest thing she'd ever heard and that I can't go through life not believing in anything. I said, I live by what I know. Anything else that I don't know and that I may need to know, I take the necessary steps in order to find out about it.
Too much stuff for me to type on.

I dont beleive in GOD. I know GOD because I know myself. TO know oneself at the deepest level is to simultaneuosly know GOD.The fact that this "god" of organized religion cant be seen, touched, heard etc is what sustains these religions.Its the mystique surrounding this "god" that theyve convinced us is somewhere in the invisible realm looking downand jotting down all of our wrongdoings that makes it so effective. Yet everything we supposedly know about him comes from MENbecause he doesnt speak

I don "believe" in anything. I prefer to KNOW. I Prefer FACTS. I prefeR EVIDENCE. I prefer understanding that comes through experience and observation. I prefer things that are SELF-evident as you said. "belief" is nothing more than WISHFUL THINKING. THey call it "faith" but its nothing more than psyche warfare. Religion and "faith" are the most effective appeals to the worst fears that people have. THey invented this fiery underworld region called "hell" to scare you into believing

If you don't believe in a God, then you MUST maintain an answer for why the Earth exists and every form of life in this fishbowl, the universe, space, and outer space. If you don't believe in a Creator of all things, then what was the original catalyst? What was the first "existence" in existence? If one believes in God they certainly know that God isn't bound to our senses, that wouldn't be godlike would it?
