I find a moderate religious views and moderate moral distinctions to be the actual enemy of modern consumer culture and post modern nihilism and fatalism

As a sincere searcher for truth and peace, you do great in letting others know what are the possible ways to relieve the world. Thanks for your honesty and practical demonstrations of compassion. Your soul is searching for Baha'u'llah. Investigate the principles of the Baha'i Faith through my playlists. You will not be deceived. You will love also the playlists on UFO (where one of your videos stands), and the MEDITATION one.
Love&Light !

Religion and patriotism are the two most downright satanic forces to ever exist. I have seen and heard of many instances of religious and/or patriotic people, be them Americans or Chinese or Muslims, do and say things that would make a serial child killer cringe. The Islamic Empire that follows the same law and the U.S. government are the ultimate enemies of their own people and the world. Mohammed was a CONQUERER even my politically correct 90's history books admitted that.

Oh i like this. You sound like a closet anarchist and that makes me really happy. You're so right. Religion and patriotism are both social constructs designed to control people's thought and actions. Religion dictates what we should feel and believe to be correct on a moral and ethical level and patriotism tells us that we should love one set of people more than another based on humyn-made lines. You've got the right idea. Thanks for this vid.

I believe we, the patriotic, religious, and those who eschew those labels can all agree that things are not good; that things that are perpetrated under our labels are wrong. How then am I to re-label myself? Given any label, it will soon be usurped by the evil to label their own evil agenda. Greenpeace, anyone?
No labels, please. There is but one label that we can identify to be, without exception, wholly evil and destructive.
Anything that ends with Inc.

I feel like I am a patriot, but I am called unpatriotic because I oppose the poilcies and acts of my country's government.
My religion does not "dictate" to me what to believe, if to "dictate" means to force someone to think a certain way. It simply offers a truth which I may accept or not.
The labels by which we indentify and define people are dangerous because they assume a blanket personality and ideology that is applied to all, when this in reality is not the case.

There needs to be a balance between laws and anarchy/civil rights. I certainly wish Anarchy would work, but I just know that someone is going to go overboard and cause mayhem ruining it for everyone. America needs to be put on an equal level with the rest of the world, and the government with it's people.

Ive been engaging in this struggle as well and your videos are usefull in that respect. I believe in God i believe in a creator but i believe that the creator created us to be thinking individuals not meant to mirror one another. That faith makes me fear religion which says trust the guru,pastor,priest, holy man because he knows and you do not. I just hope people make a distinction between faith and religion or you risk isolating your allies.

Don't your coins all say, "In God We Trust"? That would be the Christian God, not Zeus or Odin. You seem to know only the Christian Religion. Not all religions are the same, what would be the point if they were?
One of the lies of the Cold War was that Democracy and Capitalism were two sides of the same coin. Oh really? Then how come China is now a Capitalist Dictatorship governed by the Communist Party? Russia may become a one-party state again.
I recommend The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Kline.

I read his point a little differently - that in fact we do not have the idealized Democracy that we envision our system as. It's not democracy, on paper, that he was commenting on. It is the deformed facsimile thereof, that he indicts - the one we presently live under. Emphasis on under. His comment about "Democracy is a religious belief *at the moment*" is key.

Senator Mike Gravel on the Oppressive Nature of Religionby gravel200890,672 views
Religious bodies are by nature organizationally and ritually tied. Faith and community breathes through it when we are not apathetic or withdraw when manipulators get control. Walking away when there is something about the ritual form you don't like is the worst form of apathy and robs the people left behind of your change-agent drive. Walking away from those who need you is a cruel sort of hate.

I understand, but there's also the co-dependency issue. If you have a situation that's hurting you, you can't keep it up just because other people like it and like you being there. There's a time to be supportive and a time to take care of one's self.

Co-dependency occurs when one opts not to be a change-agent. Religion and faith community are two different things. You sound like the 1960s "opiate of the people" which started the communist repression of faith communities in Russia.

Hey, I'm not against, I'm just for opting out. The principal of Religion is that everybody should beleive in one thing. That very principal is inherently issue-filled and descriminates against "change-agents" as you put it.
But forget being anti-anything. I'm not about the elimination of Religion AT ALL, just for a general understanding beyond current mainstream thought ... its rigidity precludes free will.
RE: Communism - I barely know anything about it and can't comment, sorry.

great stuff man. like beliving solidly in the current system is a religios view, yet we who oppose it are guilty of the same thing, as we feel we "know" what is really going on.

Actually my insistence is that we CAN NOT know. But hey... I'll leave that for a day when I figure out what Agnosticism means...
