“Science flies you to the Moon. Religion flies you into buildings.”
More like keeps you grounded in willful ignorance.
Yeah, I am not sure about that
Jealousy flies people into buildings.
Amen! Facts are facts.....religion spoils everything!
People fly into buildings
One evening a friend came to my house for dinner. After the meal, she began talking about her adult children and how great her children turned out since she had raised them with religion and had sent them to Catholic schools. When I related to her that my sister and I were never raised with religion, had gone to public schools and that we both were college educated and were fine, productive members of society, she grabbed her sweater, forcing her arms into it with a huff, and asked me to take her home. She said she had spent a lot of money in her endeavor to raise her kids with religion. I told her that I wasn't challenging that, but we parted as friends shortly after this incident. I guess religious people can be rather angry when facts are presented.
Yes they all have issues.
Religions lead nowhere. Lord Jesus alone is the way, the truth and the life.
@@jounisuninen hahaha another clown can’t even one sentence without showing his ignorance.
LOL ^^
Did you just say that? First, find me any historical record of a Jesus of Nazareth existing then understand your quest is impossible because there was no such place as Nazareth at the time he was supposedly alive! You wanna talk about irony, a carpenter killed by carpentry! 😂,@@jounisuninen
You can never debate or reason with anyone who believes there's a magic man in the sky.
No such creation unless in fantasy as a sky daddy !!
Indeed. I never try to make someone irreligious. They are beyond repair. Their minds were damaged in childhood due to the brainwashing.
Someone who does magic tricks and his imaginary friend
Or an orange Jesus on earth
There is actually a fair amount of historical, scientific, archaeological, and logical proof for our “magic man in the sky.” First of all, there’s the problem with the Big Bang on its own. The universe allegedly started extremely small (I think on the molecular level), and then a reaction in the atoms basically caused it to expand. But how was that created? If it never began, first of all, that doesn’t make much sense with time, and second, the universe as we know it would likely be much older because the reaction would have likely happened sooner. There had to have been an outside source that wasn’t bound to space and time to create everything. Second, macroevolution doesn’t work. Humans and other animals are irreducibly complex. In the theory, humans evolved over time, but by bit, but there is little to no evidence of the in-between stages and only the beginning and end remain, and, if they evolved bits at a time, they couldn’t have lived because important parts of them were missing. Also, there are passages in the Bible, such as Isaiah 53, that have been proven to be written before what they predicted, yet their prediction happened to the letter. This includes Jesus life and death, the destruction and captivity of Israel by Assyria, king Cyrus letting the Israelites go back to rebuild their city and temple, and the rise and fall of the coming empires (i.e., the Assyrians, Medo-Persians, Greeks, Romans). All of these events are historically proven and there are texts that foretold them before they happened in the Bible. Also, there are eyewitnesses of Jesus’ miracles, death, resurrection, and ascension to heaven. These people couldn’t have been hallucinating because multiple people can’t see the same thing at the same time. The body was clearly missing from the tomb, as the religious leaders tried to cover it up. They couldn’t have stolen it because there were guards at the tomb, stopping anyone from being able to get in and steal Jesus’ body, and moving the stone likely would have attracted the guards, even if they were sleeping. Also, these guards likely had weapons such as swords or spears. The disciples were likely to be arrested, injured, or killed if the guards found them trying to steal the body, or at least chased them off. Thus, Jesus likely rose from the dead. He was God and is. Also, if morality was to be objective, then there would have to be an outside source, as I said, to determine it. Why do you think that we are born with a conscience that convicts us for immoral deeds if morality is subjective and not created by God? If God didn’t exist, then morality would be a social construct, yet we have a natural conscience that convicts us when we do wrong. If God isn’t real, then there isn’t an objective way to quantify morals, so murder would be okay because morals aren’t actually objective. For the same reason, for logic to exist, God would have to exist. Logic, like morality, is a consensus, but can't be objectively true unless there is a God because there is no outside source that created logic to be true. And, since science is founded on the belief that logic is objective, unless there's a God, science itself can't be proven to work because logic is not objective. Also, what about near death experiences? It can’t just be a dream. First of all, it’s consistent across those who have them, even without prior knowledge of this situation. Second, people suddenly learn new things about deceased relatives that they never knew of out of the blue, and what religion do they turn to? Christianity. How intriguing is that. Also, there’s historical and archaeological proof of events such as the parting of the Red Sea (chariots on the bottom and the sand around it melted because of the pillar of fire) and the flood (fish fossils in mountains and multiple ancient religions reporting a worldwide flood). Oh, and did I mention dinosaurs? It turns out, dinosaur fossils actually are found in a position that would have been caused by drowning (a worldwide flood). Also, there are actual ancient human carvings and things that depict dinosaurs on old buildings, almost like they lived with humans. The meteor explanation doesn’t account for all of the other animals that lived at that time or people that are somehow still alive. To look more into this dinosaur explanation, watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/pVTl1YvtPFI/v-deo.htmlsi=BU_NvISU5GUnz5AF. Finally, there’s the fact that the Bible is so consistent despite being written by around 40 different people across thousands of years and multiple continents, and is still as consistent and connected as it is. It points to a God that inspired it.
Religion is something that people hang on to help them with their fears and take them to heaven. It is an illusion that makes them feel good, but it corrupts reality.
First, you should know what reality is, to make such a comment.
@@sreejithMUlike you know...

"Religion began when the first scoundrel met the first fool."
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere."
-Voltaire
Mankind has unfortunately stuffed itself with religion as an existential placebo for so long its no longer a placebo. Unfortunately most people cannot imagine their life without this. Even when a religion runs its course and becomes mythology man just replaces it with another one. The cycle will more than likely never break
Sometimes it feels like they think the only way to make up for that is to look at themselves and say
"If I can't live the life I really wanted then neither can you" sort of thing.
AMEN!!!
Religions are mythology, how can people actually take it seriously?
This is an interesting comment, “when a religion runs its course and becomes mythology”, so it wasn’t mythology to begin with but over time it loses its efficacy for social cohesion?
“man just replaces it with another one”, does this mean the worlds religions could be chapters of the same book? Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, The Baha’i Faith all follow and build on each other like the curriculum in an educational system?
If humanity refuses to move on through the curriculum then it becomes stuck in a lower grade, grows belligerent and becomes entrenched in the dogma and superstition of its own imagining, incapable of hearing the music of the spheres.
There have been many atheistic or religion-hating societies in history. Stalin's rule, Pol Pot's rule, Kim Jong Un's rule, Mao's rule, The rule of French revolution, Hitler's rule etc. I've never heard of a society based on atheism that would've been somehow happier than societies that allow religions.
Of course I personally do not recommend any religion. Instead, I always recommend to seek Lord Jesus. He is not religion but a person. You can have personal contact with Him and no religion can offer anything like that.
Miss you mr hitchens . Im deconstructing a life of torment brought on by religion and man. Thank you for helping me reaffirm my decision to think on my own and not let ANYONE dictate my feelings.
Salute to you sir
Thinking on your own? It sounds like you gave up the church telling you how to think for him telling you how to think. You might want to rethink your statement.
These videos make my day, after a hard day work in the country side, under the scorching sun, it makes me happy to see that some people in this world think like me 😊
Religion began with fear of the unknown and absence of control. Religion provides the illusion of being a knower and controlling the world.
Quite the opposite.
Relying on a higher power removes the believer from needing control or wanting it.
@@theincredibleshrunkenbeegu7084 Until you realize that religion and all the spirits and gods were created by man to first explain what they couldn't control then used to control societies thru fear or false promises of escaping this life for someplace better.
were you there when it started or did this idea come from because some one said so. was the person who said this there or was it an opinion
AMEN!!!
@@theincredibleshrunkenbeegu7084what?? Relying on a higher power is the definition of submitting to control
The best argument for God is "I'm afraid of death and it makes me feel good" and those are absolutely terrible arguments, but every other argument is even worse than that. God is human ignorance, ego, and fear personified.
"God is human ignorance, ego, and fear personified." ... but only for those who have not met Lord Jesus.

Got raised with the stuff but always felt it was the biggest sham ever laid on society. As it gets handed from one generation to the next , it seems to get worse, probably because people try to reconcile the ludicrous claims with a more analytical society.
There are many more atheists than the data suggests too. Millions of people are forced to pretend that they are religious.

"Religion states you are born ill and commands you, under penalty of a fate worse than death, to get well." -Hitchens
That’s religion, it has a lot of terrible things to answer for. However don’t let faulty doctrine stop you believing in a divine designer or creator. Absolutely no one yet knows what started everything from nothing. I have a lot of time for Hitchens but Dr Turek trumps him every time.
All people die, Christian or atheist, the answer is where you choose to go when you die. If you can't see that this world is broken and sick then you just aren't paying enough attention. My heart longs for 'utopia', a world where I don't have to helplessly watch my grandparents suffer and die, a world where I don't have to constantly fight my sinful nature.
You can say that God's system is unjust (you'd be wrong), but then who are we to command God or condemn His order? We are His creation.
@@user-nz8uy1zm3z Right there is your myopia: "this world is broken and sick."
Every era before the Renaissance would make this world blush. The world USED TO BE sick and broken (still is where liberties take second to dogma). Some of the worst times were the dark ages when the Church had authority. Children used for labor and sick ends, endless tort -ure, famine, bubonic plague revisiting every couple generations... "bring out yer dead." You could easily get away with m-urder and more.
But once science got a foothold over superstition, that is, once evidence counted over interpretations of stone age books that say horrible things, we've doubled and tripled lifespans and protected children. This world we've created is utopian relative to what came from religion.
In fact, if science minds were not locked up, racked, and crucified for noticing natural phenomena, we'd already have defeated aging.
You can believe or not, but in mice we can reverse aging with genetic modifications. AI will give us the confidence to test in humans. So no, it's not black and white that all we decide is "where we go after we die." We have many good choices that were delayed by this nonsense.
I'm going to repost this addressed to no one if the system deletes it. It's important.

It’s heartbreaking to understand the purpose of religion. Made in times where humanity feared death, the unknown, apex predators, and pain of biological reality (physical violence, starvation, disease, hostility, etc…) we should understand consolation, but never allow organized religion to go unnoticed in its power play and exploitation of many cultures, people, and ways of life.
Hopefully there will be a cure for religion one day.

Religion gave people an answer to the natural by claiming the supernatural before science discovered and told the truth

"...telling the truth and full disclosure and also doubting yourself... are in fact the very values we need for a better society." I couldn't agree more with Lawrence Krause on this.

Intelligent design argument is flawed and debunked long long long ago, people keep using it but it's senseless, in some words we can erradicate it just by acknowledging engineers try to make complex stuff out of simple methods and materials and stuff, functional simplicity is the mark of design, we could say we are the proof there was no mind who made us the way we are, conclusion no god made us.

Yup, they've been censoring a lot lately..they never used to be like this. Pathetic..
Its all controlled by Zionist/Kabbalist Satanist Freemasons. These people like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Neil Tyson, etc are ACTORS on TV, they may be NOT even real scientists. Always parroting the propaganda from TV news. They have created fake religions and ideologies to make spirituality look stupid. The "medicine" that actor mentioned is NOT medicine at all, it is drugs and sorcery, it is POISON, it does not cure anything only masks the disease and then you get real sick or even more sick if they cant control you and you die. They lie to you that people couldnt live for long in the past, dying from invisible particles floating in air and all kind of crap. People used to live very long and grow tall. Entire history they gave is FAKE, they lie to you what happened 5 min ago on TV.

@@raycaster4398 Yeah.. quite a few treat Jesus as Santa for adults.
Or what we're told an invisible authority says "ought" to be.
The concept of "ought" deserves more careful scrutiny than it often gets. Significantly, there is no OUGHT operation in formal logic. Of course we all have preferences, even urgent ones affecting our chance of survival. But these are in fact straightforward IS propositions. And the idea of consequence doesn't invoke an OUGHT but an IF.
I therefore believe it's possible to rewrite any OUGHT statement into one which is purely based on IS and IF. I've never tried to prove this formally.
You could argue morality is what ought to be, but religion is ignorant, dogmatic, anti humanity, anti thought, and enforces irrational thoughts.

But telling the logical about how your beliefs feel to you or make you feel, falls on ears just as deaf.

Between that and eternal damnation for basically everyone not accepted by whatever religion i realized these people don't have a clue what they're talking about other than overcomplicating vague and obscure so called lessons on what was misguided attempts to tell stories distinguishing the difference between right and wrong.

The bible has a few good morals in it. I think those morals were around prior to the writing of it. Like patience, love, hope, kindness, etc. We should be able to be good people with good morals without a God.
Such a pity that the god of the bible cannot even display those simple morals itself.
_The word “God” is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions._ -Albert Einstein, in a letter written to Jewish philosopher Eric Gutkind, 3 January 1954 (a year before Einstein's death) 💕☮🌎🌌
What humans have is built in curiosity. It helps us find food, new ways to hunt, make and grow food etc. Combine that with nature, pre knowing the science behind nature, and you get gods. If we can't explain something humans tend to make up things to explain it. This is why every culture had a god of thunder for example.
We know better now but people get religion at a very early age, normally from parents, and it's difficult to dislodge.

@@dorkception2012 “reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.”
Just a google definition.
Logic is how we reason and make sense of our thoughts and the world around us. The “strict principles” that define logic and constrain every human mind are the laws of identity, non-contradiction, and the excluded middle.
Without logic we could not reason, communicate with any meaning, or have knowledge.
If the laws of logic exist and are immaterial universal norms, how could a strictly material universe account for immaterial universal laws of logic?
@@michaelm3363 I believe it does. Without God you lose any valid foundation for logic, knowledge, science, truth, morality, purpose, etc.

If immaterial laws of logic exist and we actually have true knowledge of our existence and universe, natural materialism cannot be true.

The truth according to a single species' senses at a specific time, doesn't seem like a valid arbiter of what i should be contemplating, in fact there are several human traditions that discount it altogether to pursue a more transcendent truth that they can never know with their senses.
'Knowing' that the earth orbits the sun doesn't seem to be a valid pre-requisite for life, almost the opposite.for a rocket scientist, it would be a critical perspective, but for a blade of grass, the sun orbits overhead once a day, and that proves to be a more valid perspective for the plant. Does everyone need to be a rocket scientist, or some kind of disciple of science, in the modern world?
I went to a Jesuit high school and religion and science were separate courses, in separate classrooms with separate instructors, separate books and separate kinds of tests. We were taught that science and
the Catholic church were "separate magisteriums", and I don't remember it ever occurring to anyone to conflate the two, to apply scientific requirements for evidence to the field of religion, or to poetry or Shakespeare, those of course had contradictions, at least superficially, but we were expected to see through that. Religion and poetry were for spiritual development, science was a tool for a different and more worldly minded realm.
In Buddhism there are the five lights, the five wisdoms (五智); one of them is what we call science, the 'scope of form, properties, and their fundamental laws’ wisdom(法界體性智); it’s a raw material for
philosophical writers who use the modern discoveries of their time to make metaphors, and to inspire
the imagination, speculating on questions that the experiments can’t answer; but it’s not the scientists,
it’s those philosophical or religious writers who are expected to cover the other four wisdoms; it’s rare, but great to see, when the scientist is also the philosophical writer.
The main question for modern science and the one I frequently find under-articulated is how we can apply any lessons or insights from new discoveries in science to our lives and the lives of other creatures
-the fifth wisdom, the wisdom of perfecting the double work of self-welfare and the welfare of others,
insight into effective action, the “complete accomplishment composition” wisdom(成所作智).
My choice of a Buddhist paradigm to answer the question shows that i am not a ‘scientist’; each of us chooses a teacher, and from the abundance of teachers offered by our world, I have a simple principle
of discernment; I look for the teachings that push toward unity, not separation; in a Buddhist humanism I see an inclusiveness and a focus on wholeness, centered on the reality of life; in the worst of science, I see the opposite, the will to power via separation, the ideal of carving up a dead and subjected universe, not organized around life but around a power ethic that can closely be related to death.
Buddhism is a perspective with the purpose of liberation from suffering. One key teaching is that of effective means, using different stories and teachings to guide different people out of suffering. It's spiritual development, not science, so the goal isn't to find truth, the goal is to heal and compose some particular minds so that they find liberation from suffering. The way to examine any spiritual tradition is to suspend, or "bracket" one's current received perspective, and temporarily embrace a different one, and to see if it fits, if it helps, if it leads to liberation.
A metaphor for the concept of effective means is, Buddha sees a forest is on fire and the various kinds of animals are stranded at the shore. He tells the rabbit to swim all the way to the other shore. He tells the elk to walk a third of the way, swim for the middle third, and walk again the last third. Finally he tells the elephant to walk all the way across.
It wouldn't be helpful for the three to argue on which method was correct, or the "truth".
A hundred years ago, before religious community was replaced by scientism, promissory materialism, and nationalism, there was discussion of what comprised "the good life", but with the new isms comes a "truthism" that requires we set aside concerns for our happiness and sacrifice into scientific truth, the "correct" way.
Buddhism is instead concerned with the meaning of the good life.
Seeing the world and the self as empty and unreal is a time honored method for living the good life.
The star on top of the Christmas tree, like the scientific method in the hands of life, is not all there is to the Christmas tree; and like the red nose on Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, it’s kind of weird, as nature and life go, though really useful for everybody in a blizzard on Christmas eve, but that doesn’t make Rudolph the measure of all reindeer; there’s much more to a herd of reindeers’ lives than that red nose, there’s much more to a Christmas tree than that star, and there’s much more to humanity than science, and the content of the world’s religions is much more about that ‘much more’ than the brilliant star of the scientific method; the irrational commitment to reason and scientific method that plagues interpersonal relations across the Christmas tree do not add beauty or importance to the star, on the contrary they degrade its brilliance by revealing a cancerous will to become the only thing there is, the only measure of value, the only thing worth pursuing, an icy wish to frost the whole tree in ‘scientific method’ stars, a dream whose ignorance of the warmth of life is a specter of cold and crystally death. Does everything have to fit into the test tube of cold hard facts and replicable experiments, to be of value, or of interest, or of use to humanity and its friends? Does everyone have to be a scientist to be worth communicating with? Scientism looks like a terrible sacrifice, the need to cast aside so much of the mystical in order to drill down into a replicable method of manipulating so-called reality, and it’s a sacrifice that should be appreciated by others when it provides relief from suffering; what’s rational is to cry tears of joy for the lone scientist who’s given up so much to climb the materialist stairs and make the star shine up there, but then it’s also rational to walk up the other stairs, past reality into the mystical heart of being, and I can’t see the wisdom in warfare between the stairways, when all of us are nourishing the one tree of life.
There's a difference between materialist imagination, and spiritual imagination. Science makes a point of cutting itself off from spiritual imagination, because it is only concerned with what can be seen and proven. Science is a useful tool for surface level facts, but not for the topics that the spiritual imagination takes as its subject matter.
The premise of science is that there is ultimate truth in its perceptions and measurements. Seduced by the materialist prospects of power within the relative truth relevant only in the netherworld of human culture, scientists and rationalists can become blind to the deeper truth of who and what and where we really are, and so while science and reason are useful tools in humanity's toolbox, like a screwdriver, they are not appropriate guides for our lives into meaning and purpose within that much deeper and immeasurable truth.
The spiritual and religious imagination of mankind across the centuries and across the cultures is more like a team of horses and mules than a screwdriver, more resonant with who we really are and better able to guide us on the paths of our lives than the tools in the toolbox we might use for fixing little things at home.
The pragmatic and balanced typically embrace both separate magisteriums, religion and science, just as they use shovels on land and scuba diving equipment in the ocean.
The few outliers who insist on using the scuba diving equipment even when standing in the dirt, like religious zealots ignoring medical technology or ignoring civilized societies' rational restrictions on boundaries, are just over zealously pointing out the existence of an ocean of the numinous to those materialists, who just as over zealously, stay planted in the dirt with their shovels of science, staying away from the coast while insisting there is no ocean and so no need for the scuba diving equipment of prayer and religious practice.
The variety of religions, including scientific materialism as a religion, in the information age is a modern tower of babel. The question isn't what name, what god, who or what did or didn't happen, or what's real and what's fake.. Those are straw men from a simpler age. The modern question is, will we integrate transcendence into our lives. Historically, few have. But some have and some do. It remains a path out of suffering into the bliss of saints..

Science requires proof (the scientific method), religious belief requires faith. Scientists don't try to prove or disprove God's existence because they know there isn't an experiment that can ever detect God. Religious faith, in contrast, does not depend only on empirical evidence, is not necessarily modified in the face of conflicting evidence, and typically involves supernatural forces or entities. Because they are not a part of nature, supernatural entities cannot be investigated by science. There is your evidence.
