WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I DIE?

We all have to face the two inevitables: death and taxes. Woody Allen said, "It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens."

The truth is, none of us want to contemplate our own demise - at least, not for very long. So this video is brief (2:30).

Daniel Camenisch co-produced, Cornelie Du Toit narrated, Anthony Short designed sound, Tim Gale recorded VO.

Enjoy!

I really cannot agree with a video that portrays facts and then just jumps right past them to make an unsubstantiated conclusion. Before jumping to the Conclusion that Jesus is the answer please research:

1. Who wrote the New Testament?

2. Is there any record of Jesus other than the new Testament?

3. Is there any evidence of the existence of a man called Jesus at all?

If you do actually look into this from a standpoint of reason then there is NO proof of his existence. Logic vs faith =Logic ftw

re: "Logic vs faith = Logic ftw"

"Logic versus faith" is an illogical comparison - it's represents a category error (like asking, "Which is better: Cabbage or Justice?")

Logic is proper reasoning - a tool for obtaining truth. Faith, on the other hand, is one's personal response to that truth.

Using LOGIC, one might conclude that Jesus is who he claimed to be. Repenting and submitting one's life to his authority would be a response of FAITH.

@corporatematt - Thanks for your thoughtful comment regarding "Jumping to conclusions."

Ironically, you've jumped to the conclusion that I've NOT researched NT authorship, extra-biblical sources, etc.

You're probably aware of written eyewitness testimony, extra-biblical sources, and the explosive social movement that has spread back and forth across the globe for 2,000 years.

But I'm not aware of any serious argument by any professional historian re: Jesus' nonexistence. Help me out.

[Zangomatic]

@BCollingwoodTV - You were somehow connecting this thought: "You allow yourself to believe in the bible" to this thought: "you are wasting your life." I wasn't following your reasoning.

I strongly agree "promoting superstition" has bad effects! (We just disagree on which view is superstitious.)

If after 2000 years of relentless attacks by critics, it was somehow demonstrated that the Bible is a work of fiction, I'd change my beliefs.

Admittedly, this concern doesn't keep me up nights...

re: "mention of Jesus outside the NT" google 'extrabiblical, non-christian witnesses to Jesus' - I find this to be a helpful overview.

The internet debate on the existence is not a debate that rages among serious professional historians. As you'll read in the article I just referenced, "We know far more about Jesus...than about any 1st or 2nd century Jewish or pagan religious teacher."

But it's definitely an interesting topic!

re: "Misquoting Jesus" - Great book...if you're a skeptic looking for reasons to not believe and you've decided the bible is full of myths. David Wallace's review 'The Gospel According to Bart' provides another perspective and might help with objectivity and balance as you read Bart - although it may not be what tickles your ears.

BTW, Bart acknowledges, as every professional historian I know of does, that Jesus existed.

@MissMariMiss 1. No they didn't. The oldest part of the new testament wasn't written until somewhere between 30-70 years after Jesus' death. They weren't written by his disciples. The closest you might get to it is Paul. Some of his letters may be authentic.. but he never met the man.

2. Yes, we did have that kind of technology. The Romans were very thorough in their writing and cataloging, as were the scribes of the time.

Btw. I am not trying to "make" you believe anything. Stating facts.

[corporatematt]

@Zangomatic - There are many different scholars of Paleography that have documentation concerning the authenticity of the new testament. I would suggest Misquoting Jesus by Bart Ehrman as a good read on the subject. As far as I know there is only one mention of Jesus outside of the new testament (Josephus). As you mention "sources" could you let me know what they are?

@RedSkyNord - I watched the John Lennon Imagine video you posted.

I'd forgotten how much that song means to me. So good to listen to it again. Thanks.

[RedSkyNord]

@Zangomatic

lol it's just an expression. it is said when you start off watching videos that you searched for, then suddenly you find yourself watching videos of a totally different topic. i wouldn't remember what I was watching, but it led me here.

[Zangomatic]

Thanks for your kind words.

What's "the atheist side of youtube"?

[RedSkyNord]

this was a great video. well done, but i'm going to return to the atheist side of youtube.
