This is a really good response. I have to admit, I'm very impressed that an actual smart person responed against Amazing Athiest. From what I've seen, the only people to outwardly propose counter arguments or critiques of guys like him on youtube are mostly people who have no idea what their talking about. And I'm glad that's not the case here. Don't get me wrong, Amazing Athiest is funny and all but he can be pretty ignorant and concieted with some stuff. but he's only human.

listen.... whats wrong with you? you people learn things from web pages and any one can write anything. so if you want to learn whats true come to a country like Sri Lanka . and whats more important is the truth its not comparing and fighting over what ever you want to believe. and statue thing??????? seriously? thats just a creation of man. it has nothing to do with the religion.

@wingsofliberty437 if you dont know about buddhism just dont give comments about it. know the whole story you will understand what he has done for them. ok? no hard feelings but as a buddhist i never give any comments about other religions. after all the most important thing is his teachings.

Indeed it is unfortunate that religion is abused in that manner. Which is why we're better off without religion. Don't get me wrong, Bhuddah is among a number of philosophers I respect; infact I think he's a much better moral teacher than most religious founders, including(or perhaps especially) Jesus Christ.

Unfortunate that a faith with potential has been bombarded throughout it's recent history with pro-government mantra. If the story about Siddhartha was true, he must be rolling in his grave. After all, it was the Buddha's selfishness that inspired him to leave the wife and child. He and only he wanted to help the poor. And did Siddhartha reach enlightenment with someone else's consciousness? I don't think so.

@ThereIsARain If reincarnation is not literal then why should you care if a) your next life is going to be good or bad and b) whether you ever achieve Nirvana. If I don't literally reincarnate, that is if "me" doesn't exist after I die then I'm not going to ever suffer from bad deeds I did in a past life because that "I' doesn't exist. If the thing that gets reincarnated isn't me then neither is the thing that achieves nirvana, so why care if it happens or not?

@utube2344 Who defined the soul as an object? The soul, if it exists, is that which could reincarnate. Whatever it is that reincarnates can only be described as a "soul". If it's part of you and it survives your death that's your soul.  That you try to pretend it's some sort of energy and therefore not a soul, but who said the soul wasn't energy?

@C0C0nutFace What you described as Atheism is in fact agnostic. Atheism is claims to have religious answers in that there is no deities, no afterlife, no spirit. I know you wrote your comment awhile ago almost a year but wanted to clarify.

[MikieBBB2007]

You're boring. 

[utube2344]

@ZoltanKH a soul by definition is a non physical object. Basically an illogical term as Buddhists as this man has said view the inner self as a sort of energy rather than a non existent yet existent substance. They have a completely logical view on the concept of "souls"
