Its funny, I think this guy looks like one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and I agree with all his principles, especially the opening speech, about stepping out of the madness of modern daily life and realizing that life is amazing. I agree with all that, I just don't think God exists. The fact that all this is made by a thing with a personality, a gender and a son just doesn't make any sense to me. What are your views on this?

@martinmedeski "The fact that all this is made by a thing with a personality, a gender and a son just doesn't make any sense to me"

Personally I have no problem with the idea of a personality, why do you? We are beings with personalities, what is wrong with another being with the same features?

As for gender, God doesn't have a gender, it's just language used to help us relate/understand.

As for a Son, you should look into the Trinity to understand the necessity of that.

"He VERY CLEARLY did not. He made it PERFECTLY clear that HE ALONE was the Son of God and what you just sad was blasphemy."

I'm sure you know that Jesus never wrote one single word found in the bible. So Jesus couldn't possibly have made anything VERY CLEAR,or PERFECTLY clear.

Dreams,and revelations from people who never wrote these dreams,or revelations down themselves is all you'll ever have,and thats why your forced to call your path of understanding a faith,and not truth.

[TheHonestTheist]

"I'm sure you know that Jesus never wrote one single word found in the bible. So Jesus couldn't possibly have made anything VERY CLEAR,or PERFECTLY clear."

Oh whoops, I just wrote down what you said. I guess that means it's not an accurate record, as you didn't personally write it.

Obviously it doesn't matter if Jesus didn't write the Bible, what matters is whether those who wrote the Bible wrote His words.

[DeistReality]

Good stuff my Deist brother. You have a reality in God for the most part. You should know(and your almost there) that you yourself are the anointed one,the Christ prophet.

When you start reading the bible in a pure Deist mind set you'll know that Jesus came to tell us that we're all sons,and daughters of God.

To sin is to miss the mark,and when we miss the mark we fall short from the glory of God. The glory of God is absolute truth because God is the creator of all that is good,and absolute.

[TheHonestTheist]

"you yourself are the anointed one"

I am anointed but I am not "the" anointed one, that was Jesus

"Jesus came to tell us that we're all sons"

He VERY CLEARLY did not. He made it PERFECTLY clear that HE ALONE was the Son of God and what you just sad was blasphemy. I hardly ever use that word, but what you just said was such a bad teaching that it makes you a heretic.

The Bible also calls you an anti-Christ for saying the Christ was not the Son. So get away from me.

@brodieheg yes both are wrong, but each have a different degree of punishment but hell is not just for anyone especially when Christian's portray this deity as merciful in the same breath. God creates man to love him, mankind by nature hates god and loves sin...do you not see a major flaw in your reasoning? You are blaming mankind for Yahweh's mistakes in creating mankind.

[brodieheg]

stealing candy is wrong, murder is wrong. God created us to love him and not sin, we did the opposite of that, we by nature hate God and love sin. and the fact that you will argue with me proves my point. Revelation 20:12 says "…the ead were judged according to what they had done…" so the punishment always fits the crime. If you steal candy and never meet Jesus you go to hell and it will be terrible… thats totally fair, if you murder and never meet jesus it will be worse.

[spikeymaycry2]

so if everybody is going to heaven. who goes to hell? and what about demons? jews?

[Requiemxtoxinnocence]

So god see's sin as equal opportunity? That makes no sense whatsoever, a person who once stole a candy bar as an ignorant child is completely different from a mass murderer. No just court system works this way.

@rleeermy

Dude, that comment just sounded very uneducated..

[TsSession]

I sadly understand now how each individual will themselves go to Hell willingly. No man can say God didn't do His Part. He comes to us and then we reject His Will and His way. Just remember Eternity is a long time to smh. #TEARS

[rleeermy]

He seems like a nice guy but he could be just as happy and positive as an atheist. Then he would be living in truth.

[DraikzTake]

God came first, gender and monkeys are his creation. Why do we raise our children to feel loved? Because that's the way we are created. GOD of THE UNKNOWN loves US even if we understand everything about Him. He is infallible. And, the creator of love gives all of us all of His :) Arguing on about "nothing" is pointless right? or not right? He knew this before we even ate the fruit of knowledge. And the revelation is still to come.. get it down and direct your love back to Christ.

You utterly fail to explain how you get from being in awe of the world, to believing that the bronze age mythologies are true. Oh, the world is awesome, and science has shown us that, and continues to do so. It's also the most miniscule part of a vast and ancient universe.. awesome again! But at what point does the holy book of middle-eastern tribes 2-3,000 yrs ago become even remotely vindicated by this information? Science has shown you some wonders, maybe you should read more science books?
