![My Grandfather Met Napoleon: Bertrand Russell Interview 1952 - Enhanced Video & Audio [60 fps]](/img/tr.png)
I’m a former Muslim who became believer in Jesus Christ. Jesus changed my life, that’s my evidence that He is real and He is God.
That’s because you’re special.
How did jc directly change your life
How do you know it was him
@@richardeast3328just like his mom used to tell him, but now he's an infidel to her.
what did Jesus physically do to make you believe? Why did you leave your old faith, and what changed your mind that your old religion couldn't? Honest questions here. Since no on truthfully has ever seen Jesus dont you think the changes that happened in your life were done all by yourself? Imagine if people gave themselves credit for making their own lives better and not give credit to someone you never saw and in the billions of yrs of this planet have NO Evidence. Life is so much more amazing when you realize religion is just Mental Slavery
Based. God bless you.
"No one can sit at the bedside of a dying child and still believe in God"
-Bertrand Russell
Ignores the prospect of the afterlife, conjures a moral platform from a materialistic universe that prescribes no such thing, and uses that to condemn what he already believes doesn't exist based on a myopic and reductionist view of reality that he pretends differentiates from molecules bouncing to the left (helping gramma across the street) and molecules bouncing to the right (a kid with terminal disease).
TL;DR: So what lol?
@@Papa-dopoulosnailed it!
@@Papa-dopoulosyou wouldn't say that if it were your kid dying, you dufus.
@@Papa-dopoulos
The only reason to believe in an afterlife (or God) is because you want one. There is no other indication whatsoever to suggest either one exists.
@@DH-rj2kv If I accurately reported the exact number of hairs on your head (let’s say after my prediction you had them immediately cut and counted in a lab), and then claimed that I was the son of God and that the afterlife existed, would you be more, less, or equally as incredulous as if I were to make this claim without the prediction first?
Not all religions can be right but they can be wrong.
Exactly. I never "chose" to not believe.
Rationality and logic left no alternative.
They never provided a belief similar to what theists believe. Not believing something is the default position.
“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”-Neil Peart
@@tonywestmoreland2628 I love Rush as much as the next guy, but the “choice” I made was to follow reason and evidence because those are our best tools for understanding how reality works.
I would suggest you read some books by, and watch debates with some of the best Christian apologists
@@tonywestmoreland2628 already have. That’s how I got here.
Edit: partially.
I grew up a Cathloic, my Christianity was beaten out of me. I was beaten by my religious teacher in national school and threatened with punishment if we didnt remember the gospel. Then we had the Christian Brothers and priests, they beat and abused the last bit of belief out of us.
That is appalling and is the polar opposite of the teachings of Christ. It says "If anyone causes one of these little ones- those who believe in me-to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." (Matthew 18:6, NIV) Those false teachers who abused you have their fate awaiting them. And David, think on this. If an atheist man was beaten by atheists when he was a child and turned to religion, emotionally that would make sense to us, but you, as an atheist, still believe there is no God and believing one is ultimately silly. We should not let the actions of some dictate what is ultimately true.
That's why we need Jesus, we are all sinners.

Religion really just makes otherwise intelligent people say and do the most rediculous and horrible things.

@@danielklink9814 The blatant discrimination of LGBT folks and mistreatment of women from the Christians ; pedophilia and an AIDS epidemic in certain third world countries from the Catholics ; literal generations of mental abuse from JW's ; a genocide in Palestine being committed by Jews ; promises of 72 virgins for blowing shit up from Islam (JUST to name *one* problem with Islam); destruction of families by scientology ; honestly I could list WAY more if I felt like going on a 5 minute google quest but I feel like my point has been made.
I feel a good argument can be made that, any worldview that tells you to deny your intellect and logic to make way for magical thinking and faith, does a massive disservice to anyone adhering to it
If a god desires to be worshipped and can seemingly do anything, why can that same god not convince an atheist of it's existence?It should be such a simple thing, yet god is incompetent and requires men to speak on his behalf. God's not dead, there was just never a god to begin with.
god is not what other thinks as a person but a form of element.
element means category of reality..
and if he is a reality he has to be above than a reality like time...
bcoz time is also a reality.
@@BABAJI-pp5qzit is whatever you think it is... every religious person makes their god on their imagination. Put two people to describe god and won't find them saying the same thing.
@@BABAJI-pp5qz "he has to be above that reality" is a really good way of saying "God exists outside of reality, because God isn't realistic" 😂

Bertrand Russell, a thinker who transcended academia, actively grappled with pressing social issues. His unwavering commitment to reason, clarity, and critical inquiry remains a timeless source of inspiration for scholars and thinkers across generations. His legacy encompasses not only groundbreaking philosophical ideas but also a passionate dedication to social justice, peace, and intellectual freedom. Russell's influence continues to resonate across disciplines, inspiring those who seek a more just, rational, and humane world.
His teachings transcend mere dogma and illuminate a path for humanity, free from the need for reliance on religion or gods.
Supposing any god is real, why is that god worth worshiping at all?
And why would he even want worshipping?
Creates the universe, but is so petty and insecure he needs the life forms of a specific planets to sing hymns and tells them not to eat shellfish?
Be serious.
Apparently millions love to be slaves.
According to the Christian narrative god will burn you forever if you don't.
Ya know, the free choice they like to talk about
@DH-rj2kv, it's not that he's insecure it's because he's a narcissist dictator
@@DH-rj2kv You have a misunderstanding of what proper worship entails
As a fellow atheist, he is my hero.
His logical thinking contains his "orbiting teapot between earth and mars" laugher. NO ONE has EVER suggested teapots of any variety respond IN ANY WAY to physical existence or life's origin from non-life. NO ONE HAS EVER even challenged the Laws of Thermodynamics. Unlike teapots those laws disallow heat of origin or having endured eternally without distributing. Ergo, THIS UNIVERSE DID NOT BEGIN AND IS NOT ETERNAL. And NO ONE has a third alternative...lying though they do to publish/receive grants.
Point being of course: Russell is too stupid to recognize that his teapot fails without reservation to respond to what deities do.
"There are some things so ignorant, only an intellectual could believe them"
@Nemesistyx So does Hitler and Genghis Khan name does that mean they were right ?
@Nemesistyxcome on champ don’t be silly
@Nemesistyx Sure, not enough people know of (Nobel Prize winner) Bertrand Russell. You have to be slightly educated to come across his name. But every uneducated person sure knows Jesus.
@Nemesistyx Just because more people have heard of Jesus doesn't say anything about his quality or validity as a person. Also, more people know about H*tler than they know of any scientists.
I am not a Christian because I read a book called bible.
A thought rhe contraury 😂😂😂😂😂😂,That you're not Christian because you don't have it
@@HermanRamos-bo9ep actually reading that disgusting book in its entirety ,instead of have the handful of sweet sounding passages preached to you, reveals it to be the evil death cult it is with immoral teaching and claims as well as an immoral foundation of blood sacrifice made by a god to himself, to appease himself, in order to serve as a loophole for rules he’s responsible for

Best of luck to them on that. Most don’t even read their holy book(s)
Not just every Christian. Every human. Because many of his arguments apply to every religion.
@@VictoV7Simply not true.

I don't believe in gods. But if there were such things, Russell would be at the top of the list.
Matthew 11:25 "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

Same with me, I’m an Atheist because I lack a belief in any gods due to a lack of evidence for their existence. Once they provide me with evidence of their existence I will change my mind 👍
The overwhelming evidence for God is Creation

Religion is simply current mythology. No different from Zeus, Ra, Jupiter and other defunct gods.
It's absolutely incredible how so many people lack the intelligence to understand and come to terms with this.
It's more fear of death and a need to believe they will live forever in a fantasy world where they can spank their monkeys for eternity... It is very very stupid and just another form of voodoo
Also its was written based on human imagination. A more complex fairy tales nothing else.
It's mostly stolen from those mythologies too. Alot of the old testament was ripped straight off from the Epic of Gilgamesh.

If god truly existed, then I demand that he appears right in front of me this very second without any excuses
Nope, he hasn't managed it
I'm currently 61 years of age, and I walked away from catholocism at the age of 5 after a conversation with a priest over the wildly improbable nature of the tales I was being fed through the teachings. when the priest said to me that I was (to young to be thinking the way outside the tales" and that I needed to take them all on "faith".... my immediate thought was that there are 2 potential truths here; 1) he didn't know the answers to my questions, 2) he's lying...... either of which, I determined, I understood that I no longer needed to listen these kinds of people.... and my life has been an amazing journey without the baggage of a lifelong burden of "faith".....
I am born catholic but i am an atheist.
do you mean you was born into a catholic family? People are born lacking a belief in a particular god, - therefore atheist - then they regard themselves as a believer, once they are taught about religions or indoctrinated into one.
If a god exists and ive lived a morally good full life why does it matter if ive had faith and believed stories from manmade books and distant history. if a god sentences man to hell for not being convinced by little to nothing the god is evil.
exactly
And you’re the judge of the morality that you lived or God is? Also Evidence? 🤣🤣 try “The case for Christ” or go outside and look around there’s your evidence. If there is no God then morality isn’t real, so what ever morals you have are self made and irrelevant, cause someone like Stalin, Hitler, will have a different set of morals and you have no basis to say they are wrong, cause what makes you the moral arbiter?? God is very real look for him
The Bible is man made, but Heavenly inspired. If you seek truth, you'd learn about it from the Church of Christ. If you don't seek truth but self affirmation, none will make sense to you. From that point onwards, is up to you.
There is no god..There is only suffering even if you live your life in an honest way..I have seen most dishonest people living in mansions and riding luxury cars and even after being so religious, my brother died of cancer..God is just a false hope

@@ouessantpeaches6122 pointing to a book doesn't add any value because it is not the only book.
@@ouessantpeaches6122 On the point of morals... we all have a sense of empathy. We all know what pleasure and pain are. These two things very easily combine to form morals. Morals are codified in various ways in societies to maintain order. The Bible has it's commandments, secular society has laws, and so on, but they all serve the same purpose. There are disagreements of course at an individual level, but the fundamental 'wrongs' - murder, rape, theft etc - are agreed on because our brains all work the same way.
@@MistakeLearned yes I made the point that many matters of right and wrong that all humans can agree on. But there are also many things many humans do not agree on. Abortion is a good example in the current day. Slavery was acceptable to many people through history but it's clearly wrong to us today. So human brain wiring on its own clearly isn't sufficient for everything.

May I point out that for many of us the rejection of the Abrahamic God is not because of 'a lack of evidence'. We reject the God of the Bible and the Quran because He is morally repugnant.

@@deenastephens There's nothing wise about believing nonsensical fairy tales.
Not believing in a creator when literally everthing we see today came from something else is illogical.
Why is being a Christian the default position? Rather ask why anyone chooses to “believe in” something that is almost certainly false.
The thing about religion is that it is just like any other inventions if you use it wisely you can have a well coordinated hybrid society which excels at development but at the same time if you are not cautious enough you might end up with a chaotic extremist society which can significantly decrease the speed of social development so in my opinion religion was actually never about believing in the truth but rather it is a social tool tho it seems like we screw up and it also seems like there isn't any way to resolve it either.
i mean isnt "atheism" the same thing ?.
being atheist is having morality from you surrounding society, so essentially there isnt morality from the first place, because everyone or every society will have very different moralities, and the biggest example is america regarding age of marriage, you have states that says you can get married at any age as long as the parents are okay with it and some states says you have to be up to 20 years old to get married.
and ive heard people say that if eating babies was okay in my society i wouldnt have a problem with it.
i know they dont actually believe that but its concerning how far some people would go with having morality from society and trying to justify things with statements like that.
so to summarize my point is that i dont disagree with you that religion was used for selfish gains, but its literally whats happening with atheist around the world rn.
and btw if you believe religions are man made you have to actually investigate them before making that claim.
and i am not christian so that is out the way lol
@@SSWAZZY i think you didn't understand my comment I'm not trying to justify anything not atheism nor being religious all I'm saying is what i believe is true about religion as a matter of fact i consider myself very religious man and i don't know why you told me that you aren't a christian but sure nor am i and for your last point even if we look at it with the religious prospective every religion clearly states that it was started by a human in order to improve the society sure they claim that it was 'god in the form of human' but it was human none the less.
I believe in God, and will happily continue believing in Him thank you very much.
That’s cool. Just keep it to yourself. We have people in power who are trying to impose this nonsense onto everyone else.

The only argument to be a not believer... the lack of evidence to believe it's true!
HES SPOT ON..
NO GOD....
Hold that thought my friend. You shall have your time to explain to God he doesn’t exist.
Tell him human were monkeys.... Without evidence he will believe
_Dear Lord. Please protect me from your followers_ 🙏🙏
Logic and religion don’t even belong in the same discussion
I can say for sure I agree with him that Christian they always lie at any cost to prove that God exist, they will lie which is a sin. The prove that God exist numerous lies God doesn’t want your lies prove that he existed truth. They pretend to have the oldest spirit they’ll pretend to have seen ghost they would pretend to have experience with ghost and spirits.
well said
Sums up religions all around
Religions teaches arrogance is sin but preachers build a "YOU are better than them " mentality
Why bother mentioning sin to begin with then?
So you believe morality is relative?
I agree with Russell on what he says here.
He should have spent less time thinking about the dogma and more time talking to God.
Islam ,christian,Judaism all fairytale book
Hinduism
A really wise man.
The man said it himself, he never was a believer.
belief, unferstanding require age and effort, not something you can learn by just being born in a culture
I’ve had people that I’ve worked with get outright offended by my atheism even though I generally keep it to myself and don’t try to thrust my beliefs on others. Inevitably people will ask you which religion you practice or which church you attend. The closest thing I have to a religion are the writings and quotations of the ancient stoics.
ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE...PRAY ON IT ALL YOU WANT...YOUR PRAYERS WILL GO UNANSWERED.
Dogma is: a belief based on tradition not scripture
These guys are funny. Why would a human mind be able to comprehend what a creator can do.
Pretend the "creator" is so incomprehensible we can't comprehend it, then somehow believe it exists anyway and mock others for not buying in to something you literally define as.. incomprehensible. That is just hilarious
@@Korkzorz ok then tell me with human brain what made DNA
@@910iva Your question is already wrong, you are assuming "something" made it. The real question is "how" did DNA come to be... You think it's magic and I think it's not. We'll probably never sure for sure but there are several good "guesses" that don't involve magic... And it's perfectly fine to not know something. You dont get to insert your god just because there is something we dont know.
I'd suggest you go watch the origin of life made easy or a simple google search will lead you to several good sources I'm sure.
we actually can but you decided to deny yourself believing this would be impossibpe, if God is unknowable nobody can teach about him so chrostian prechers would be all madmen.
@@910iva Why, what does that have to do with the fairytale of the baby jesus?
It's Mr. Cholmondley-Warner's Friend Greyson.
So that's where Enfield got the voice.
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying they were forced into religion. That’s terrible.
This is the sort of thing you need to figure out on your own time. Not something to be forced into.
Kinda sounds like the same thing going on about genders and sexuality… hmm
1Cor 1:26-31. What kind of a just God would only give enlightenment to the worldly intelligent? That's why his opinion matters for nothing.
Everyone focused on the relief or hope that loved ones of the child might feel knowing the child's suffering has ended and that he's in a better place ignores the suffering the child endured before death, which is often long and excruciating. Trying to justify that suffering with original sin, free will or simply "God's" mysterious ways is a convenient way to blame the victim. Ignoring it while continuing to worship the God that permits it is like watching someone beat another to death and ignoring it because the killer promised you a nice house if you kept your mouth shut.
The argument againt religion need not be any longer than this one.
Sadly where he is now its begging for the christian god to save him
Everything that cannot be understood does nevertheless not cease to exist. -Blaise Pascal

Why do you not beloeve the sky is green? I dont know how anyone decides to believe something. You either believe it or you dont. You dont decide to believe.
Great man!
Jesus loves you all and I hope you hear him one day calling to you 🙏🏽
Shove it!
@@davidfiler7439 Oh wow
Bigfoot loves you
@@theborderlinegiant That’s good for them, once we have actual proof they exist
I get why religion is a thing. People need guidance, what God wants from us.
Doesn't mean you should turn your reasoning off, which seems to be mandatory.
I'm most familiar with Christianity, and the things we believe in are so ridiculous, we know deep down it's all bull.
I guess this man himself has been at every person's death bed to know all of these facts, particularly often what is going on silently in one's own heart. Is this supposed to be a joke?
God isn't real. It's just imagination of humans. It's in fact foolish to believe in such a thing.
smart man
Why do we have to label everything? I am not an atheist, I am not agnostic; I am a human being and I do not believe in any religion. If someone needs religion then I accept and respect it for them but it not for me and I don’t expect to affect me in any way.
If you don't believe in God then your are an atheist. That is all it is. No big deal. In a free secular society everyone can believe what they want, and everyone is free to argue about it and insult each other on the internet!
God is not here for you, you are here for God.
Ok, good for you, kind of an awkward statement to just throw out.
How would he know what people are saying on their death beds, SMH
He should have read Master Nursi's books which are called Risale i Nur Collection.
If any of you doubters actually took the time to research the Bible and it's historical contents, without preconcieved ideas, then you would see that their is more evidence for the existence of God and Jesus Christ than there is william shakespear but most of you won't because you don't want to admit that their Is an ultimate moral authority. This guy says there is no evidence in support of christian dogma, how sad he he had all those years to study and show himself approved like the Bible says to do but obviously never did.
The proposition the if Christianity isn't "true" then its not worth "following" is a profound, and forgive my language, stupid claim, even if Christianity was not true and if we didn't had enough "evidence" as he put it, the teachings of Jesus Christ of Nazareth are profound powerful teachings, to claim such a thing is waste of time and that is worth throwing it aways is a very sad and untrue stateman coming from a man who is supposed to be high regard in the matters of the mind.
He knows the truth now....😊
prove it
What smart people think.
JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON
prove it
For me my life with out Almighty God YAHWEH is just like naked in the public
This the same guy that thought Stalin was one of the good guys???
He makes a great point and a logical one. I for one hope he’s wrong.
