@Neueregel I'll be honest...I'm not sure what was well-thought out about your statement. Firstly, it appears you are merely trying to discredit Ravi Zacharias by inferring that you have never heard of him, which doesn't really hold any weight. Secondly, what if I simply said, "Atheism is the worst idea ever made in the human brain." What weight does this hold, and what about this statement is well thought-out.

Having come to believe after experienced all the world has to offer, I can honestly say that nothing and nobody in and of this world has or will ever provide the peace, value, purpose and love and God does, so yes, sir regardless of the outcome per His grace I would still and wholeheartedly love and follow my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

@7h3tSLDR02 why you even see this video if you don't believe ? spend time writing about something that you are not even sure is real ?

@rtinsavannah Well, the meaning of the word 'agnostic' is kind of ambiguous like that.

[rtinsavannah]

@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 Thanks, Frankie. I guess words get watered down a lot in modern society.

[FrankieSayRelaxxx1]

@rtinsavannah No. Gnosticism and agnosticism deals without what we claim to 'know' while theism and atheism deals with what we believe. One can both lack belief in a God whilst simultaneously admitting that one doesn't know for sure. Therefore one can be both agnostic and atheist at the same time - an agnostic atheist. It's like 'weak atheism' and 'strong atheism.'

[rtinsavannah]

@FrankieSayRelaxxx1 By definition that is not atheism, but agnosticism. Read up on it.

[FrankieSayRelaxxx1]

@rtinsavannah The vast majority of us do not assert that God does not exist. We do not pretend to know because we accept that it is unknowable. But we still lack belief in the existence of any God because it hasn't met its burden of proof. You obviously dont understand what an atheist is.

@7h3tSLDR02 well, that is good reasoning, seemingly. But we humans are built with an understanding that there most be more than just living for ourselves. Also, if everyone lived for himself, with no disregard of others, things would be pretty ugly.

The Christian mantra is this: love God and love others.

Read 1 Peter 1. Here is part:

"Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory."

@myfrees Why would you live your whole life for someone you're not even sure is real? You came into this world alone, and your going to die in this world alone, so why not live in this word for yourself? Thats why i hate religion. I am not abided to live by a mythical figueres rules, only my own.
