Am I the only one here who thinks that the Islamic scholars are not only educating their own people but also nourishing Christian and Jews scholars to fight atheism?
Realy good question. As muslim i feel that way. Just look up how muslims is treated from China, india, Middle east, EU and USA today. All i can say is we are living in intrestesting times. It's not like we islam or muslims is in power in any way shade or form. (No, Saudi arabia familey, united arab emirates is just a toy for the people in power)..

Alhamdulillah... I got to see this video... It's so shameful... I was slowly drifting towards skepticism and nihilism but MashaAllah you presented really good arguments JazakAllahu Khair to everyone involved in this video
The people who say that Atheism has nothing to do with Nihilism have not really paid attention. When you say there is no God it means that there is no objective morality, value or purpose, therefore you will try to create your own meaning which in reality has no real meaning, therefore, you will fall into this black hole of Nihilism.
@@scarfhs1 Because if you say that God doesn't exist then morality becomes a man-made, subjective set of principles that differs in various eras and times, what might seem wrong according to someone might be right according to someone else, but when you believe there is a God then one and only entity will define what is right and wrong that doesn't change or adapt.
Hey Saboor. This video was recommended to me from a follower of yours in a comment thread on a video of your recent debate with Alex O'Connor. Thank you for this video and your ideas. Your perspective is different from any I've heard before, and I find it useful. I'll have to watch this again on another day, and think about how to constructively contribute to the conversation, before adding a substantive comment. However, we both agree that this is an important conversation to be having, which is a good starting point. I wish you the best, friend.
YOU ARE RIGHT. ABSOLUTELY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT CURRENTLY HAS THE WORST FOLLOWERS... FROM THE TOP DOWN ACROSS THE MUSLIM WORLD. ISLAM IS POWERFUL, AND MOST IMPRESSIVE, TO AN OPEN MIND AND HEART.
@@gunitsingh6035 It would be interesting to specify to us these scientific inaccuracies, but if it's already been 3 years since you typed this comment, I guess it's safe to say you found none.
I was talking to my co worker about how atheism leads to nihilism. She replied with “well religion has problems too.” I cant believe people aren’t outraged with the absurdities born out of the assumption that random blind processes is our creator.
@Furious Taco Warrior It is infinite in space. Infinite number of planets. But it is likely life didn't appear suddenly, rather it had to evolve from simpler self replicating molecules.
@Furious Taco Warrior There is no before the big bang if time didn't exist as you say. In eternalism the universe doesn't appear at the beginning, rather the beginning is the earliest point in time. Try to understand that difference. Eternalism is more logically consistent than presentism and is confirmed by relativity. It means spacetime is an static object that cannot be created or destroyed. Assuming an infinite past instead, infinite regress is not a problem in eternalism, just like infinite space is not a problem in presentism. I agree with a necessary existance. That has to be reality itself, which the universe is only a part of. There is nothing necessary about god having preferences, morality, dogma and other flavor.
You cannot debunk atheism using faith. Faith is the belief in something without evidence, atheism is purely evidence-based there is no proof of God therefore to The Atheist he does not exist. You have faith that he exists because you read a book that says so. Trying to debunk one another is pointless you either believe or you don't. Agree to disagree and get on with your life.
@@mohamedkhider6998 As a few thinkers have pointed out Nietzsche was revealing through his fiction and poetry the demons he was wrestling with in his own subconscious or soul. He was alarmed by the perception that humanity, or at least European humanity had lost its faith in metaphysical providence. With no God we must create our own values and discipline and comfort ourselves, since life then has no preset meaning and no super being. I am pretty sure that it contributed to his actual losing of his mind that happened before he died.
@@thenowchurch6419 yes yes!!! I totally get what u wrote in the second part ( when u mentioned values ) That basically destroys atheism I've heard that Nietzsche admitted that he can't give a proper explanation to the origin of ( morality/rationality) other than it's given from god .. that's basically saying that atheism is based on nothing but crap How can you deny the existing of " god " yet he's the one that gave you the ability to reason/ to be rational

Wow, you just explained the concept of GOING DARK by David Goggins. Which is basically doing the opposite of escapism and letting the dark clouds of nihilism form to craft a subjective purpose. Mindblowing!
*_”Is someone who was dead, who We then brought to life and made for them a light by which they walk among people, comparable to someone who is trapped in total darkness, with no way to escape from it? It just goes to show how atheists are addicted to their own habits!”_* _(The Quran, __6:12__2)_

After 3 years, Mohammed Hijab, Subbor Ahmad, and Muslim intellectuals of their likes have demolished New Atheism on an academic level - and now Neil deGrasse talks about "mind-blowing things they will not teach you in schools" as podcasts. How very sad.
What is new in atheism? If there were a deity, don't you think it would be competent to let everyone know? Religious belief is artificial light. As if one should respect the suggestion, we all travel with one foot in fantasyland, using a fantasyland vocabulary. You know them by their works, so what does it tell you about those advocating prayer? Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital. Who advocates faith, when it is worthless if you can't move mountains using faith & verbal commands to landscape? What kind of person speaks of god as if we did not have a saying: God helps those helping themselves, because gods have a perfect record of doing nothing, outside of fiction. No wonder Feud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy.

Few issues with the making up your own purpose view : 1) purpose is being conflated with temporal goals one sets for themselves, 2) purpose ought to explain your reason for being, 3) I think all things that are the same in essence have the same same purpose.

I wanted to purchase the book from hamza together with forbidden prophecies on the Iera website but I dont have a creditcard to purchase for the shipping costs. Also none reply by mail or Twitter. Is there any other way to purchase ? Insha Allah I will soon receive these books.
Islam is really the perfect combination of 1. finding a objective meaning outside of yourself, and 2. a meaning that is grounded in solid proof and evidence.
I take issue with the second point. No religion with metaphysical claims, is grounded in solid proof and evidence. Your meaning is coming from faith, not empirical/verifiable evidence.
Well this is easy to debunk.......is slavery and wife beating 'morally good'? Because your God seems to think so, but the human race does not. So square that circle.
When I listen to Subboor I think 'is he stuck in the 19th century? We've moved on from' Darwinism'. He seems to deliberately avoid modern science and philosophy in order to cherry pick out of date arguments, no one is actually making, simple to avoid having to provide any evidence at all for his God. Like all the apologists, they can get to Deism, the idea there is a creator, but they can't seem to get from Deism to Islam, or Christianity, or Vahalla. That's the leap of 'faith'.
Being an Atheist (or in my case rather "agnostic") is not a "choice". If there was a clear indication that a being like (a) God exists I would have no problems in acknowledging it. Fact is that none of the big three is giving a decent hint on his existence nor does any other religion I heard of. Saying that our purpose is "to serve him" is simply far to shallow. In the case of Islam the self serving purpose of the Quran is all to obvious (to outsiders at least). Why should personal matters of Mohamed, like on how his women should behave (33:52) or the house order of Mohamed (33:53) show up in a book meant to be for "for all mankind" ? I could as well post pictures of my cat and declare it "a sign for believers".
If one is seeking a physical tangible proof for the Creator, that means the person is assuming the Creator is something physical and tangible. To believe that the Creator is something physical and tangible is a logical absurdity. The proof for the existence of the Creator is: 1) The world is (it exists) 2) The world can't be beginningless (for that would lead to the absurdity of an infinite regression) 3) The world can''t be self-created (the non-existent can't bring something into being (or bring itself into being)) Hence--one concludes that something other than the world brought the world into being. And that One would not be subject to what all phenomena is subject to--such as, time, origination, change, space, size, etc. And from this, it would be known that the Creator isn't something tangible or physical (or spatial).
@Marco Hammurabi I would not agree on this logic. Take for example "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness." The sentence is clearly about Mohamed's house, not about "anybodies" house. If this sentence was "addressed to the whole mankind" it could be much clearer with a different wording. So in other words: it's only 'for' and 'about' Mohamed.
Albert Pike, "We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil."
This is sophistry at its finest and he still didn’t explain why the make believe of theism is better than the make believe of atheism, he just asserted that it is with no justification.
No such thing as a worldview for atheism. Atheism is a position, not a worldview. It is the position of suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented.

"i don't know" is not truth it is an irrational position based on ignorance , the truth is that we exist and we know the universe had a beginning and begin to exist and everything that we've/we can observe and we know that exist are contingent or merely "possible" there are contigent things contigent things can cause other contigent things but there can't only be contigent things because that would mean that there's an infinite regress of contigency,and a possiblity that nothing might have existed An infnite regress is imposible Thus it needs an external cause Since that external cause has to be outside the whole aggregate of contingent things, it cannot itself be contingent. So it is necessary and the external cause must be uncause because that would mean that there's an infinite regress this is the most rational and logical explaination for the existence of the universe we call the uncause cause The Creator,,The Maker,The Originator,The Initiator

So many bad faith arguments in this segment; sadly this ruse is sufficient to manipulate those lacking an educated background. It's interesting that you've labeled science as a tool, yet religion is as well. The difference between science and religion is democratization and evolution. So while the tool of science is being constantly refined to improve the living standards, the comfort of the world, and a bridge into the future... religion is a tool to limit and control the human potential. The world is not so black and white as to constrain human existence to the simple dogmas of mental slavery (religion) or hedonism; such vapid ramblings can only extend from an individual who has never truly experience the breadth of what it means to live. Most religions are toxic to human nature, but Buddhism has come the closest to ascertaining the meaning of life, which is simply this: a means for the universe to experience itself. It is true that when one accepts the reality of atheism, which is simply the lack of believe in supernatural religions, that nihilism can overwhelm those that had a previous religious upbringing. But that is not because of atheism itself, but because they individual had been brainwashed their entire lives to believe in a _need_ for an _external purpose_ which is a completely false narrative. The purpose of self is internal, hence why the Buddha found meditation to be a useful tool in mastering self-awareness, which leads into a state of nirvana; that is, the realization that the self is merely a window through which _the universe_ achieves self-awareness. The claim that atheists are indifferent to smashing a mannequin vs a human being is patently absurd; that is merely your own _flawed projection_ of nihilism as the basis for atheism. But here you are relying on an informal fallacy by misattribution; you are citing a false definition, and then claiming your flawed deduction must be true. Even a novice rhetorician can see right through such tricks. The true nihilists are the religious zealots that cling to unfalsifiable assertions of supernatural existence, from which inherently flawed intellectual beings are charged with paying a lifetime of atonement and worship to unknowable beings while fighting amongst each other over who's juvenile interpretations of existence is more correct and that is uncontrollably determined by ones place of birth. There is absolutely no meaning in such a ridiculous religious-based existence; how absurd. No, the purpose of life is universal introspection.

The idea that atheism would mean you have no values, purpose or hope is nonesensical. It only means you live by your own values and purpose, not by what some man wrote in a book over 2000 years ago. Steve Jobs said it best, everything that was created or said before you, was created or said by a man no smarter than you. By this philosophy which i think is very valid, your values and purpose is something you yourself create or live by. Does this mean the values and purpose of every man will be of the good kind? Of course not, but it would be extremely biased to make the argument that every man that lives by for example Islamic, Christian or Jewish values is practicing a doctrine that's only good. ''What is reality? Obviously no one can TELL, because it isn't words.'' - Alan Watts
How incredibly anecdotal and specific, taking a fascinating case study of a man who goes from a religious background to an atheist and back, which, is a far point to levy but is also incredibly misleading. Human’s aren’t so flat and simple that deciding to be an atheist means that there isn’t a long term goal or loss of reason for ones actions. The context of the entire “God is dead” statement is so much deeper that just “no god is bad”, it in fact was both a thought experiment and exploration of a pantheistic world (a world based on many gods as an argument against the idea of one god and a harmonious universe). Nietzsche also wasn’t saying that a world without god would lead to an existential crisis, he both implicitly and extremely explicitly used it to question how morality will change due to a dechristianisation of laws and teachings in everyday life. the motivation we ascribe to power cannot and does not rely on objective facts. it’s ridiculous and straw man like to say that only looking at goals set by what we consider a higher power are powerful when, if one is motivated enough, a goal set by oneself is incredible. It’s frankly insane how much context is ignored here, especially with your constant mention of Europe’s shift to atheist ideals. the most cited reason for atheistic shifts, especially in the west, is the first (or second) world war, this incredible loss of life and brutal slaughter caused many to lose their faith and abandon the worship of a God who stood by and let it happen. Science is objectively a worldview, your excellently misleading point of mathematics being unilateral doesn’t apply since looking at the world scientifically is just the simple way of being able to actually and perfectly explain why something happens in the universe, insignificant or not. nice job speaking about all atheists like it’s a unified group such as catholics or sunnis and not simply believing that there isn’t a God. You’ve declared that atheistic goals (making a change in the world based on ones own decision or motivation) is an invalid idea, based on assuming and generalising about people going “it’s all just atoms” and saying that people thinking about that, something; that I and many other atheists I know consider a lot, makes us thinks there is no motivation or reason for anything. On the point of motivation, saying that motivation or drive becomes fallacy under a scientific perspective is nearsighted since we tend to cite wants or needs, caused by an incredible amount of chemical reactions causing serotonin production. I simple terms: we like doing good because we’ve been taught to be good or know right, and therefore do things to do good with or without a faith. Hell! Nihilism doesn’t even refer to one way of thinking, you should say existential nihilism! because actually at least seven (some are in debate) Jesus this is so tunnel visioned and disregarding of the multifaceted nature of human beings and our wants, motivations and cares. You’re acting like american atheism (the kind of atheism that tries to convince you to become atheist) is all atheism or in anyway a consistent mentality.
@Psych Slow It's not but ok. American atheism is the typical brand of atheism that you see going out and taking the same sort of spirt of evangelization but use it for atheism. ie going up to someone in a hijab and acting like it's an outdated and sexist tradition that isn't done by choice. I branded it amercian atheism beacuse it's typically atheists from america that I see acting like their way of life or beliefs are superior.

He said " if We made a belief system Ourselves out of nowhere, that this life is temporary and next is bright and good, we deep inside would know that it's stupid because we've just made it up. " But since God has revealed it, so we believe it. Another example would be if I ask you that do you believe in Angels? You (if you're Muslim) would say YES because that's what Allah has said to us. Now if , for example, there were no mention of angels in our Deen and you came up with an idea that "Let's make a belief that there are Creature of God called Angels. Let's believe in their existence" . Would it be right? No it won't be. Would it be stupid to do such thing? Yes it would be. That's what brother suboor was referring to.

Hi, I am a proud nihilist., This is for all the thiests, How do you know your God/ Religion is not make believe? Humans have been alive for 1000s of years, yet no proof of a "god" apart from a few books that every religion has, its like saying i believe in batman, because i have read the comic. I'm sorry some people just can't rely on faith. You are also make-believing if you believe in a religion, the only difference between a nihilist like me and you is that your "make believe" is objectively supported by most other non skeptic humans (historically and presently) whereas my "make believe" is based on a realization that stems from skepticism of the lack of proof of your "god". I will change my mind if anyone in the entire world can give a logical proof of god, not mere faith. And one more thing, Nihilism is not supposed to be dark, its the most beautiful thing, optimistic nihilism that is. Theres no purpose or meaning, so we do what makes us happy. as long as we are not hurting anyone in the process, and i do not need god to tell me that.

Many of us atheists used to be theists. Most of us live in societies in which theism is everywhere. The challenge for us is not to “understand” theists or theism….it’s to keep you folks from intruding your beliefs into our lives. Here’s an analogy, inspired by the one Carl Sagan used - you keep telling me that you have a dragon in your garage. I look in your garage and don’t see any dragons, so you tell me it’s an invisible dragon. I spread flour on the floor to see the dragon’s footprints, but none appear, so you tell me that the invisible dragon floats in the air. I use an infrared sensor to see evidence of the dragon’s fire, but nothing is detected, so you tell me that the invisible floating dragon’s fire is both invisible and heatless. I spray paint the entire garage to see the outline of the dragon, but nothing happens, so you tell me that the invisible floating heatless-fire-producing dragon’s body is not corporeal and the paint won’t adhere. Finally, I say “there’s no evidence that there’s a dragon in that garage, so I don’t believe there’s a dragon in that garage” and walk away. You pursue me, insisting that I have to believe in your dragon, saying that I can’t be a good person if I don’t believe in your dragon because morality comes from your dragon and also your version of the holy book of the dragon(there is however many types of holy book of the dragon,) and claiming that the reason I don’t is because I don’t “understand,” and that you’ll try to “explain” your dragon to me and also showing your holy book of the dragon over and over again until I believe you. For the rest of my life, you and your dragon-believing friends pursue me - even knocking on my door, demanding that I hear you out - to wheedle or pressure or demand that I believe in your dragon, call me names if I don’t, try to make me act as though I believed in your dragon, insist that just saying I don’t believe in your dragon is “offensive” to you, and attempt to pass penalties for not believing in your dragon into the law. Did you like that analogy?

"Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning."
hammerguy it's because you don't get it or you're lying to yourself. What is the point of anything? Go on give us a purpose that is worthwhile? Humanism is a just a word, why the hell do I have to even care about a person, an animal, or even a plant? Give me a good reason. You people throw terms around without attaching any real meaning to them.
@samuel barry we human beings are social beings. We cannot live without other people. For example, the food you eat, it is made from someone. Can you make your own food from scratch? From planting a seed so it can grow to a plant so it gives you food. You care for something (a plant for example) for yourself. Caring others is like caring your own self. If you still don’t care about living beings, so be it. I respect your opinion. If you feel like that you are in a state that you don’t need to care because (for example) your life is good and you don’t need to do anything to appreciate someone, in other words when you have no problems that you need somebody besides yourself. Nobody knows if you can be still like that forever. Everyone has their own problems, you could help them and other people could help you. Thank you even if you didn’t read everything, which i would suggest reading everything. And sorry for any misunderstandings and i disrespect you in anyway.
Way to project your feelings onto others :) You sound like you are struggling to find meaning and lash out at me. Do you really need someone to tell you there is some greater meaning for life to be worth living? My reason is this: you have infinite darkness, a small experience of life, and then infinite darkness. Make the most of YOUR experience in the meantime, and try to respect others doing the same thing.
Atheism makes no promises nor does it seek to recruit others. It's simply one's personal conviction on their being a god or not. It's not my intent to make anyone an atheist or to make it sound appealing to others, it's simply the truth and you can do a number of different things with the truth even being nihilistic, but you do not have to be nor is it to be associated with atheism. You can find meaning in life being an atheist but rather you do or don't it has nothing to do with atheism. Nihilism cannot be conflated with atheism. It's nothing about my belief that should threaten yours if you really believe it. but it just may be that you doubt your religion so you must try and make me the enemy and the embodiment of your doubt creating conflict where there really is none. I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY YOUR OWN DOUBT A GOD EXIST IS and the feelings that result in that Idea. From what I gather in most of your videos you keep expressing a need for a god to exist and this need is not going to produce a god. The Universe has no obligation to make sense to you nor produce a god for you. The truth is what it is, like it or not, it is not what you need or want it to be.

If chance seems like a problem, infinity is gives you all the tries you need.
@Furious Taco Warrior
It is infinite in space. Infinite number of planets. But it is likely life didn't appear suddenly, rather it had to evolve from simpler self replicating molecules.
@Furious Taco Warrior
There is no before the big bang if time didn't exist as you say. In eternalism the universe doesn't appear at the beginning, rather the beginning is the earliest point in time. Try to understand that difference. Eternalism is more logically consistent than presentism and is confirmed by relativity. It means spacetime is an static object that cannot be created or destroyed. Assuming an infinite past instead, infinite regress is not a problem in eternalism, just like infinite space is not a problem in presentism. I agree with a necessary existance. That has to be reality itself, which the universe is only a part of. There is nothing necessary about god having preferences, morality, dogma and other flavor.

Excellent lecture. Thank you.
Islam is really the perfect combination of 1. finding a objective meaning outside of yourself, and 2. a meaning that is grounded in solid proof and evidence.
I take issue with the second point. No religion with metaphysical claims, is grounded in solid proof and evidence. Your meaning is coming from faith, not empirical/verifiable evidence.
Well this is easy to debunk.......is slavery and wife beating 'morally good'?
Because your God seems to think so, but the human race does not.
So square that circle.
When I listen to Subboor I think 'is he stuck in the 19th century? We've moved on from' Darwinism'. He seems to deliberately avoid modern science and philosophy in order to cherry pick out of date arguments, no one is actually making, simple to avoid having to provide any evidence at all for his God.
Like all the apologists, they can get to Deism, the idea there is a creator, but they can't seem to get from Deism to Islam, or Christianity, or Vahalla.
That's the leap of 'faith'.
What's the new thing now?
what is your argument?
Lots of good points in this one. Bravo Subboor.

Being an Atheist (or in my case rather "agnostic") is not a "choice". If there was a clear indication that a being like (a) God exists I would have no problems in acknowledging it.
Fact is that none of the big three is giving a decent hint on his existence nor does any other religion I heard of. Saying that our purpose is "to serve him" is simply far to shallow.
In the case of Islam the self serving purpose of the Quran is all to obvious (to outsiders at least). Why should personal matters of Mohamed, like on how his women should behave (33:52) or the house order of Mohamed (33:53) show up in a book meant to be for "for all mankind" ?
I could as well post pictures of my cat and declare it "a sign for believers".
Don’t be shy to ask questions to a well educated Muslim say at a mosque. It’s good to have questions and inshallah they’ll be answered
Look for proof please watch 'Be like a bee Noumann Ali khan ' Quran gem and miracle ' Quran illustrated by Nouman Ali khan
If one is seeking a physical tangible proof for the Creator, that means the person is assuming the Creator is something physical and tangible. To believe that the Creator is something physical and tangible is a logical absurdity.
The proof for the existence of the Creator is:
1) The world is (it exists)
2) The world can't be beginningless (for that would lead to the absurdity of an infinite regression)
3) The world can''t be self-created (the non-existent can't bring something into being (or bring itself into being))
Hence--one concludes that something other than the world brought the world into being. And that One would not be subject to what all phenomena is subject to--such as, time, origination, change, space, size, etc. And from this, it would be known that the Creator isn't something tangible or physical (or spatial).
@Marco Hammurabi
I would not agree on this logic.
Take for example "O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness."
The sentence is clearly about Mohamed's house, not about "anybodies" house. If this sentence was "addressed to the whole mankind" it could be much clearer with a different wording.
So in other words: it's only 'for' and 'about' Mohamed.

No such thing as a worldview for atheism. Atheism is a position, not a worldview. It is the position of suspending acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented.

"i don't know" is not truth it is an irrational position based on ignorance ,
the truth is that we exist and we know the universe had a beginning and begin to exist
and everything that we've/we can observe and we know that exist are contingent
or merely "possible"
there are contigent things
contigent things can cause other contigent things
but there can't only be contigent things
because that would mean that there's an infinite regress
of contigency,and a possiblity that nothing might have existed
An infnite regress is imposible
Thus it needs an external cause
Since that external cause has to be outside the whole aggregate of contingent things, it cannot itself be contingent. So it is necessary and the external cause must be uncause because that would mean that there's an infinite regress
this is the most rational and logical explaination for the existence of the universe
we call the uncause cause

So many bad faith arguments in this segment; sadly this ruse is sufficient to manipulate those lacking an educated background. It's interesting that you've labeled science as a tool, yet religion is as well. The difference between science and religion is democratization and evolution. So while the tool of science is being constantly refined to improve the living standards, the comfort of the world, and a bridge into the future... religion is a tool to limit and control the human potential.
The world is not so black and white as to constrain human existence to the simple dogmas of mental slavery (religion) or hedonism; such vapid ramblings can only extend from an individual who has never truly experience the breadth of what it means to live. Most religions are toxic to human nature, but Buddhism has come the closest to ascertaining the meaning of life, which is simply this: a means for the universe to experience itself.
It is true that when one accepts the reality of atheism, which is simply the lack of believe in supernatural religions, that nihilism can overwhelm those that had a previous religious upbringing. But that is not because of atheism itself, but because they individual had been brainwashed their entire lives to believe in a _need_ for an _external purpose_ which is a completely false narrative. The purpose of self is internal, hence why the Buddha found meditation to be a useful tool in mastering self-awareness, which leads into a state of nirvana; that is, the realization that the self is merely a window through which _the universe_ achieves self-awareness.
The claim that atheists are indifferent to smashing a mannequin vs a human being is patently absurd; that is merely your own _flawed projection_ of nihilism as the basis for atheism. But here you are relying on an informal fallacy by misattribution; you are citing a false definition, and then claiming your flawed deduction must be true. Even a novice rhetorician can see right through such tricks.
The true nihilists are the religious zealots that cling to unfalsifiable assertions of supernatural existence, from which inherently flawed intellectual beings are charged with paying a lifetime of atonement and worship to unknowable beings while fighting amongst each other over who's juvenile interpretations of existence is more correct and that is uncontrollably determined by ones place of birth. There is absolutely no meaning in such a ridiculous religious-based existence; how absurd. No, the purpose of life is universal introspection.
Can you provide the links to the academic papers blaming WW1 on nihilism?
People really need to learn the difference between religion and reality.

The idea that atheism would mean you have no values, purpose or hope is nonesensical. It only means you live by your own values and purpose, not by what some man wrote in a book over 2000 years ago. Steve Jobs said it best, everything that was created or said before you, was created or said by a man no smarter than you. By this philosophy which i think is very valid, your values and purpose is something you yourself create or live by. Does this mean the values and purpose of every man will be of the good kind? Of course not, but it would be extremely biased to make the argument that every man that lives by for example Islamic, Christian or Jewish values is practicing a doctrine that's only good.

😊 thanks 🤲🏽
How incredibly anecdotal and specific, taking a fascinating case study of a man who goes from a religious background to an atheist and back, which, is a far point to levy but is also incredibly misleading.
Human’s aren’t so flat and simple that deciding to be an atheist means that there isn’t a long term goal or loss of reason for ones actions.
The context of the entire “God is dead” statement is so much deeper that just “no god is bad”, it in fact was both a thought experiment and exploration of a pantheistic world (a world based on many gods as an argument against the idea of one god and a harmonious universe).
Nietzsche also wasn’t saying that a world without god would lead to an existential crisis, he both implicitly and extremely explicitly used it to question how morality will change due to a dechristianisation of laws and teachings in everyday life.
the motivation we ascribe to power cannot and does not rely on objective facts. it’s ridiculous and straw man like to say that only looking at goals set by what we consider a higher power are powerful when, if one is motivated enough, a goal set by oneself is incredible.
It’s frankly insane how much context is ignored here, especially with your constant mention of Europe’s shift to atheist ideals. the most cited reason for atheistic shifts, especially in the west, is the first (or second) world war, this incredible loss of life and brutal slaughter caused many to lose their faith and abandon the worship of a God who stood by and let it happen.
Science is objectively a worldview, your excellently misleading point of mathematics being unilateral doesn’t apply since looking at the world scientifically is just the simple way of being able to actually and perfectly explain why something happens in the universe, insignificant or not.
nice job speaking about all atheists like it’s a unified group such as catholics or sunnis and not simply believing that there isn’t a God.
You’ve declared that atheistic goals (making a change in the world based on ones own decision or motivation) is an invalid idea, based on assuming and generalising about people going “it’s all just atoms” and saying that people thinking about that, something; that I and many other atheists I know consider a lot, makes us thinks there is no motivation or reason for anything.
On the point of motivation, saying that motivation or drive becomes fallacy under a scientific perspective is nearsighted since we tend to cite wants or needs, caused by an incredible amount of chemical reactions causing serotonin production. I simple terms: we like doing good because we’ve been taught to be good or know right, and therefore do things to do good with or without a faith.
Hell! Nihilism doesn’t even refer to one way of thinking, you should say existential nihilism! because actually at least seven (some are in debate) Jesus this is so tunnel visioned and disregarding of the multifaceted nature of human beings and our wants, motivations and cares.
You’re acting like american atheism (the kind of atheism that tries to convince you to become atheist) is all atheism or in anyway a consistent mentality.
@Psych Slow It's not but ok.
American atheism is the typical brand of atheism that you see going out and taking the same sort of spirt of evangelization but use it for atheism. ie going up to someone in a hijab and acting like it's an outdated and sexist tradition that isn't done by choice.

@@burraq1.032 if you’re looking to start into philosophy there’s a series on youtube called: “What is Philosophy?: Crash Course Philosophy” which will give you a solid foundation for reading other materials written by philosophic scholars like plato.
I agree with you whole heartedly that there are atheists with a sense of innate superiority and that is wrong. everyone’s view should be considered equally, however i feel that verifiable fact should always take precedent.

@@karlazeen @karlazeen yeah, that's why he said that one must see both the doll and the living human as the same thing if they want to strictly adhere the principle of materialism/naturalism and eventually nihilism.
The Dark Path of Nihilism to Religion
.... thats why A.I have created. no need for imperfect humans any more.
So you're saying computer is better than human brain.
@@Sameer.K2 bro ... I was being sarcastic ... :-) I'm a Muslim...
Things explained by religion(i.eIslam)is made complicated by Atheism and nihilism
Love the thumbnail 😅 on point for target audience
one more is Skepticsm before Nihilism, I guess😨
Why not try something different: ask an atheist?
If you are one, please do tell us.
@@test-wj7tl Do I have a god-belief? No!
Am I a Nihilist? No! Of course not. Only an idiot would make such a stupid assertion. But then, what else is Subboor?
@@StopSpammingOriginal You must be delusional, I clearly said that IF you are one to explain. Did I say that you are one? Do you need a dictionary to find meanings of words?
ontologically there is no meaning. epistemologically there is. and you say 18:32 people of Abrahamic religion world view of this world and the next one, the temporal and the eternal, is nonsense. How can you say this and still say you are a Muslim when you are not accepting the essential pillar of faith which is belief in 'last day'.
Don't take things out of context bhai jan. He never said that " I , Suboor Ahmad, believe that this is nonsense". He said " if We made a belief system Ourselves out of nowhere, that this life is temporary and next is bright and good, we deep inside would know that it's stupid because we've just made it up. " But since God has revealed it, so we believe it.
Another example would be if I ask you that do you believe in Angels? You (if you're Muslim) would say YES because that's what Allah has said to us.
Now if , for example, there were no mention of angels in our Deen and you came up with an idea that "Let's make a belief that there are Creature of God called Angels. Let's believe in their existence" . Would it be right? No it won't be. Would it be stupid to do such thing? Yes it would be.
That's what brother suboor was referring to. Try listening him with concentration and keep your brain parallel with your ears. :)
He started this point from 17:15 by referring to atheists that they say "Create your own meaning i.e belief etc".
He was describing the thinking of Atheist plz watch full video
Ahan ok my bad
Hi, I am a proud nihilist., This is for all the thiests,
How do you know your God/ Religion is not make believe? Humans have been alive for 1000s of years, yet no proof of a "god" apart from a few books that every religion has, its like saying i believe in batman, because i have read the comic.
I'm sorry some people just can't rely on faith. You are also make-believing if you believe in a religion, the only difference between a nihilist like me and you is that your "make believe" is objectively supported by most other non skeptic humans (historically and presently) whereas my "make believe" is based on a realization that stems from skepticism of the lack of proof of your "god".
I will change my mind if anyone in the entire world can give a logical proof of god, not mere faith.
And one more thing, Nihilism is not supposed to be dark, its the most beautiful thing, optimistic nihilism that is. Theres no purpose or meaning, so we do what makes us happy. as long as we are not hurting anyone in the process, and i do not need god to tell me that.
Boy Meets Ballet u can take a leap of faith in believing the existence of a God n follow His commands of positive good deeds of living n interacting with life n after death if there is one u r prepared to accept accountability but in your case being a nihilist u will be annihilated because u lived your life according to your wanton desires! Makes sense?
@@abdulazizmanaf2015 makes no sense, People who question things can not and should not take any leap of faith. Faith/ believes exist only where proof does not. And no, i will not be annihilated, lol
@@Skyee_AK thats wat many previous staunch atheists claimed but they received revelation n has been enlightened sadly the Creator is Merciful n only opens the Door of Truth to people with sincere intentions hence His promise of burning people of stubborn ignorance is probably true!
@@abdulazizmanaf2015 lol, I am open to the idea of god, all i need is proof, simple.... , are you open to the idea of "no god" ?
i dont think so, that makes you the stubborn ignorant, not me.
Name one person god opened his doors to? and prove it and i will worship ur god,
we both know you can't.
i cant even debate with you lol/.. you are clearly brainwashed by the society and religion, im sorry man
@@Skyee_AK if you are serious about it and open to the idea of God drop me a mail. I don't like public debate.

My belief, that my life ends when I die, has given me a much deeper appreciation for the life I have.
Death is the price we pay for living.
A very intelligent man you are. The universe does not owe you purpose simply because you long for it...
This is common amongst religious people as well. The difference is in the world view
Zuhair Roomaney there’s no such thing as “ the universe”. This is nothing except an alternative word for God/Allah
Sami A
Yeah
Gods are just a concept that people believe different things about.
Allah is no different
When faced with things we cannot explain ( yet) people insert gods
In your case Allah
Your comment is hurting my brain and it will hunt me until I die 🤯🤯
Many of us atheists used to be theists. Most of us live in societies in which theism is everywhere.
The challenge for us is not to “understand” theists or theism….it’s to keep you folks from intruding your beliefs into our lives.
Here’s an analogy, inspired by the one Carl Sagan used - you keep telling me that you have a dragon in your garage. I look in your garage and don’t see any dragons, so you tell me it’s an invisible dragon. I spread flour on the floor to see the dragon’s footprints, but none appear, so you tell me that the invisible dragon floats in the air. I use an infrared sensor to see evidence of the dragon’s fire, but nothing is detected, so you tell me that the invisible floating dragon’s fire is both invisible and heatless. I spray paint the entire garage to see the outline of the dragon, but nothing happens, so you tell me that the invisible floating heatless-fire-producing dragon’s body is not corporeal and the paint won’t adhere. Finally, I say “there’s no evidence that there’s a dragon in that garage, so I don’t believe there’s a dragon in that garage” and walk away. You pursue me, insisting that I have to believe in your dragon, saying that I can’t be a good person if I don’t believe in your dragon because morality comes from your dragon and also your version of the holy book of the dragon(there is however many types of holy book of the dragon,) and claiming that the reason I don’t is because I don’t “understand,” and that you’ll try to “explain” your dragon to me and also showing your holy book of the dragon over and over again until I believe you. For the rest of my life, you and your dragon-believing friends pursue me - even knocking on my door, demanding that I hear you out - to wheedle or pressure or demand that I believe in your dragon, call me names if I don’t, try to make me act as though I believed in your dragon, insist that just saying I don’t believe in your dragon is “offensive” to you, and attempt to pass penalties for not believing in your dragon into the law.
Did you like that analogy?
Terrible analogy

@@9876manutd that is exactly what Hindus, Christian's and everyone else says .
"Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be a word without meaning."

To truly appreciate something you have to understand it's opposite.
MasyaAllah
The alternative is called Humanism and is by no means a dark path.
hammerguy it's because you don't get it or you're lying to yourself.
What is the point of anything? Go on give us a purpose that is worthwhile?
Humanism is a just a word, why the hell do I have to even care about a person, an animal, or even a plant? Give me a good reason.
You people throw terms around without attaching any real meaning to them.
@samuel barry we human beings are social beings. We cannot live without other people. For example, the food you eat, it is made from someone. Can you make your own food from scratch? From planting a seed so it can grow to a plant so it gives you food. You care for something (a plant for example) for yourself. Caring others is like caring your own self. If you still don’t care about living beings, so be it. I respect your opinion.
If you feel like that you are in a state that you don’t need to care because (for example) your life is good and you don’t need to do anything to appreciate someone, in other words when you have no problems that you need somebody besides yourself. Nobody knows if you can be still like that forever. Everyone has their own problems, you could help them and other people could help you.
Thank you even if you didn’t read everything, which i would suggest reading everything. And sorry for any misunderstandings and i disrespect you in anyway.
Way to project your feelings onto others :) You sound like you are struggling to find meaning and lash out at me. Do you really need someone to tell you there is some greater meaning for life to be worth living?
My reason is this: you have infinite darkness, a small experience of life, and then infinite darkness. Make the most of YOUR experience in the meantime, and try to respect others doing the same thing.
@@kony2023 how do you know there is infinite darkness?
@@TheMfbs17 that's just what seems apparent. I don't claim to know it, but I haven't seen any credible evidence to the contrary.

Dear Saboor i like your hat send me one...👨🦳 Your amazing we are learning new things through you.. may Allah give strength and more insight... 💪❤️👍
The Word...
Atheism makes no promises nor does it seek to recruit others. It's simply one's personal conviction on their being a god or not. It's not my intent to make anyone an atheist or to make it sound appealing to others, it's simply the truth and you can do a number of different things with the truth even being nihilistic, but you do not have to be nor is it to be associated with atheism. You can find meaning in life being an atheist but rather you do or don't it has nothing to do with atheism. Nihilism cannot be conflated with atheism. It's nothing about my belief that should threaten yours if you really believe it. but it just may be that you doubt your religion so you must try and make me the enemy and the embodiment of your doubt creating conflict where there really is none. I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY YOUR OWN DOUBT A GOD EXIST IS and the feelings that result in that Idea. From what I gather in most of your videos you keep expressing a need for a god to exist and this need is not going to produce a god. The Universe has no obligation to make sense to you nor produce a god for you. The truth is what it is, like it or not, it is not what you need or want it to be.
You're making no sense brother. I'm sorry.
