How are any of you arguing at all? I love how this man talks about peace and tolerance, yet you desecrate his message by bashing others or arguing about religion. We have no hope whatsoever.

@ZacharyDenverPitts "Why is this our purpose?" Because that's how we developed over evolutionary history. We are a social species. All of us are driven by self-preservation and propagating. As a social species, our own fate goes hand in hand with the fate of the group. We are nothing by ourselves. This gives us purpose: better the group to better ourselves.

@ZacharyDenverPitts "you can be Agnostic and call yourself an Atheist if you wish "
"There is a god" - gnostic theism
"I believe there is a god" - agnostic theism
"There are no gods" - gnostic atheism
"I don't believe there are gods" - agnostic atheism
(a)gnosticism = the motivation of the position you hold
(a)theism = the actual position you hold.
Seriously, it's not hard.

@ZacharyDenverPitts "Look up Atheism in a dictionary, it is a belief." No, it isn't. It's the lack of a belief. You need to buy into something to be a theist. When you do NOT buy into theistic claims, you're an atheist by default. You don't need to believe something else to be an atheist. Seriously, what is so hard to understand about this? Not believing something is NOT the same as believing something. Durrrrr.

@ZacharyDenverPitts "an "A"Zeusist belief" Or... a non-belief. Placing the "not" in front of another word doesn't change the fact that it is a NEGATIVE statement.
""I honestly can't know if Zeus exists" is Agnostic" Yes. And it doesn't say ANYTHING about your position on the claim. Only that you can't know it. You can NOT know something and STILL believe it. Which is what every theist does. They don't KNOW, but they BELIEVE anyway. 'agnostic' is NOT a position.

@ZacharyDenverPitts meaning that we as organism are very well adapted to the environment and to pass on our genes we reproduce. That is what evolution is, those who live to be able to f*ck (those smart enough to survive) live to get kids and pass on their genes. It's an auto-correcting system who sorts out those unfit, not because it is evil, but because nature doesn't adapt after us. It's the other way around.

@ZacharyDenverPitts Stop raping the term "logic". First of all there are no atheist belief that you can criticize. I answer for myself now (as a non-believer): We don't know anything about the time before big bang. You have to define "reason". Planets form as products of chemical reactions. Life grew on earth by chance sine the perfect conditions existed. Life evolves in the way that the most adaptable survives (which means a lot of things). The purpose of life is simply to reproduce,

@ZacharyDenverPitts Here is the better definition from Websters:
a: a disbelief in the existence of deity b: the doctrine that there is no deity
The point is there is no evidence to support any of the claims for religions. To believe in things without any evidence is foolishness.

I am retiring from these comments, I have other things I would like to do. (like art!)
Cheers to the commentors of this video, that regardless of our beliefs we can respect each other. :D

"I believe that Zeus does not exist" would be an "A"Zeusist belief
"I honestly can't know if Zeus exists" is Agnostic
"Zeus does exist" Would be a Zeusist belief
Look up Atheism in a dictionary, it is a belief.
you can be Agnostic and call yourself an Atheist if you wish :P

I'm not trying to cause trouble, just trying to figure this out logically. From what I gather Atheism says: There was nothing outside of the universe; the universe started for no reason; planets formed and, by chance, life grew; Life evolved into humans (at least on earth); Humans have no purpose,they live to consume and die;we have no reason to live; nothing we do matters;The whole of existence is pointless. With that said:Why do we love?Why do we care about anything?Why are you reading this?
