@azandi2 "Faith is all about life and what it means to be human"

That statement seems entirely contradictory with your other statement of

"Life can't be viewed through the "evidence or proof" perspective because we aren't talking about science. We are talking about the supernatural"

If faith is about living and humans how is that supernatural? life and living is entirely based in the natural and science. It seems that your just making stuff up.

Atheists keeps keeps yaking that they do not believe in god and yet works so hard to infiltrate the videos of the believers. I bet all atheists are already hooked on the videos of bishop sheen. Wisdom of sheen Vs. Atheist haters? Which one gives peace? Its no brainer!

@AlexThomson1000 Also this “god thinks about us” and “we’ll survive our own death” sparks of arrogance when we’re so insignificant on the grand scale of existence. Needless to say I don’t buy any of it which is why I will never say “you CANNOT believe this” but will always say “you SHOULD not believe this nonsense”

You have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome (besides your own ignorance).

Now I try to be fair and I listened all the way through this video. For a start the title has nothing to do with the video but let me tell you, as an atheist I will never say “you can’t believe that” and if anyone ever does I’ll be the first to stand against them but pure spirits that float about outside nature that change when the make a decision about an ethereal creator, not to mention resurrections! That’s crazy! Really when have you ever seen someone rise from the dead? It doesn’t happen.

[dlandon2000]

I'm curious is god impotent to defeat death or just callous, or just procrastinating?

There is nothing to "overcome" with atheism. It's simply the rejection of a claim which has no evidence.

The realization that this is the only life you get makes you value it, the claim that we have eternity after this necessary means that this life has no value, and they know this which is why they make up the "this life is a test" BS.

my god, this is garbage. why can't priests say something new and original? how disappointing. if there is a god he'll give me my 9 minutes back.

[leptismagna10]

this guy is spewing pure fiction, nothing to do with reality and the natural world.
