Why We Believe

A documentary about my existential crisis. This pursuit of data led me to an understanding of why I felt inclined to to believe in an afterlife and why other might. I go into why others believe and why those beliefs can be dangerous.

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born."

-- Richard Dawkins

Great video.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

This video need to be spread around

[booksRbad]

to the guy @ 2:10: 1. I have a gas stove! and 2. Thanks to religious morons (like yourself) taking control of our government and shooting for destroying the economy for a second time this decade, I can't afford the extra gas bill anyway.

Which ends up meaning that I feel no pain from my stove, actually I feel nothing at all, just like after real death...

Do animals go to heaven? We are evolved primates so we are animals. With religion very much alive now I think eventually it will go away in time. This is proof that our minds are still evolving. Don't be afraid of death. When it comes you will not know it. Don't waste your entire life worrying about it. Enjoy your life and cherish every moment. If we all thought this way then Wars would end forever and peace would be on earth.

Thanks for a wonderful video.

We can thank the loving Jesus and his followers for giving us the idea of eternal torment and threatening us with Hell. The Old Testament doesn't have Hell.

Great video.

I can't wait to go to hell!

I dont know if you check these things but God does not tryt to scare you into and or out of heaven and or hell. what he is doing is warning that the bridge is out up ahead please stop you will die if you don't stop. this is arough idea of why the bible talks more about hell thasn heaven

[MysteryManoLove]

Awesome video man : ) I said the same thing in my video on "Secrets for Successful Pickup" about living this life as though if it was your last one.

While some of what your film seems to indicate is objectionable, I appreciate the artistry of your exploration and the editing and storytelling. You're also an incredibly cinematographer

Sucks that you are so weak that you believe certain things in response to fear. You have a nice camera, and nice shots. Put this video on mute to spare yourself the agony of listening to a weak minded individual going down in flames. The "believers" represented here, are people with megaphones. Literally and figuratively. Exploding their views on others if only to assure themselves. Sort of like you. You have a nice camera though.
