- Patrick Bet-David delves deep into the complex relationship between morality, law, prayer, religion, and government control. Join us as we discuss how oppressive governments fear and sometimes suppress religious beliefs, drawing historical references from figures like Mao, Stalin, and Karl Marx. We analyze different religious perspectives on moral issues like same-sex marriage, adultery, and stealing, comparing Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and Hinduism.

Thank you, Patrick; I am a combat vet, too. Born in Pakistan, a Christian. Now a proud American like yourself. I have so much to share. I wish I could be part of your show.
I would Love to hear your story Sharpshooterish. 🙏
@@CPez Thanks - really appreciate your remarks. I am ready to go public.
Pat isn’t a combat vet lmfao

The funny thing is that those in power tends to have the lowest morality of all while giving grand lessons about it to the People!
Touche!
In the USA, they are the most moral because money is morality in America.
That's because their father is the father of All lies satan
@timothybogle1461 money & morality do not always go together. Sometimes they do, but sadly more times than not, money Definitely does NOT mean morality.
And in what country is power most concentrated in the world? The USA. And what country has the lowest morality?
Religion matters, running into your UA-cam has been a blessing to me PBD I’m a Christian from Nigeria. Keep up the good work & keep giving us good content we can watch,learn & apply to our daily lives. I see you as a role model & I don’t regret putting you on that pedestal
Same here. I love listening to what he has to say. May God continue to bless him and fill him with wisdom beyond comprehension.
I disagree religion is not love of god, it’s corrupted god, I’m not saying there is no good in religion. So I will give examples from religions other than yours as you will understand easier. Torah. Why would god ask us to make a burnt offering of a lamb? What’s a lamb? A lamb is a child or a lamb, both are his creations so this contradicts love god as god is all. Islam Mohamed and the Mohamed dans crushed the above people hiding in the Jews that were killing babies and putting the burnt offerings (holocaust =burnt offerings) in bread and wine destroying them, but the Koran teaches the opposite about Mohamed, lies that were constructed 100 years later by Umar and Rome. There are similarities with Christian religions if this was not the case why erase half the books? You won’t find god in religion, community yes but you don’t need religion for that.
I don't believe in Religion because religion is very biased. I do however believe in Faith, because only faith is true to the heart.
Without religion how would our government be able to control the masses?
Religion is a cancer and has led many people and whole kingdoms to ruin.
Innocent people have died because of religious beliefs.
I love the fact you are talking about religion
Government is a religion in their own way. Telling you they are the only answer. Telling you what’s good and bad. Takes your money. They have devout followers who truly believe they are our savior and who blindly take whatever the Government gives them with full trust.
A government that fears religion is a government with a strong tyrannical impulse. Religion means a higher moral authority above the government and a government that fails to recognize that will tend to assert itself in that supreme position. But unless good and right transcend the state then the state cannot claim for itself what it declares to be good and right. It would have no objective authoritative "good" and "right" to legitimize the state declarations or any valid moral premises on which to base it's policies.
I think some libertarians call the deep state/uniparty/establishment the cathedral.
💯% correct satanism is definitely religious in their own darkness that's the broad pathway that leads to sheol
A false religion, but yes.
Ephisians 6:12 : "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
I recently watched a documentary about the fall of the Soviet Union. Old churches closed for decades reopened and people flocked back into them but they did not know how to pray. Some volunteers had kept the traditions alive and taught their fellows how to pray. It was heartbreaking to watch.
And way more people never went back to religion, because they realised they have a moral and fulfilling life without it. And some of those soviet nations are the most Atheistic countries now.
Soviet Communism is an against religion because they realise a lot of it was just a mechanism used by kings ,Tzars and oligarch to keep them oppressed. The same way plantation owners in the south did. If someone had used the bible and god to oppress and enslave you wouldn’t really come out of it trying to be Christian.
Not saying religion is wrong but am just saying that religious people should understand individual can abuse that faith to do terrible things aswell.
@@Christian-uj1mqMate, religion wasnt used by the Tsars to control the masses. The peasants were serfs and were controlled by the local governor. There was no point in trying to control them in some sorts of ways, when they already were literarly enslaved. In fact, Christianity was and is associated with rise of democratic ideals in households across Europe, so if anything, it undermined the Tsars.
Also, plantation owners gave black slaves heavily altered Bibles for obvious reasons.
Also, none of those former Soviet countries are mostly atheist. The majority of them have extremeley minor levels of atheism. These nations are either Christian or Muslim. Not even close to quarter atheist population.
Also, everyone, religious or not, knows that individuals can lie and distort the faith to further their own ends. Take it from me, the people who hate islamic extremists most are Muslims.
Now, I ask that you please explain to me how the bible was used to control the masses as you claim.
Karl Marx feared two institutions above all. Religion, and the traditional family structure. Both, in his words, are the biggest threat to the ultimate authority of The State.
Sounds like the democratic party
Sounds like the USA

Did you just make this up?
@@anthonyesposito7 Karl Marx. I state it in my post.
The world need more talk this buddy.... Thanks from Portugal
Grew up Christian, although I am not currently practicing. I definitely give credit to the church for being part of the foundation of my morality.
Being a Christian is believing the gospel. That’s it.
Give me an example that you would not have without the religion.
Im not religious, didnt grow up religious and id pit my moral spectrum against religion every day of the week and know mines better.
Same, but I expanded upon it with utilitarianism. Religion is often too black and white. However, many of its core principles are worth taking into consideration.
Christian isn't something that is practiced.

Mr. Patrick Sir. This video is the perfect example of why myself and so many other love the channel. You're a good dude or one hell of a con. I and I assume many others trust your influence, advice, opinions - all of your words . Thank you for the channel. Very positive for many.
Loved this PBD. It is a familiar subject matter for me, however, you analyzed it from a different perspective. What is the product of a society with faith and without. Also, it was chilling to see how many dictators wanted to eliminate Christianity. Thought provoking. Thank you.

This show has been shedding light on a lot of interesting topics lately. Its more on the conservative side, but lets face it, its the right side.
well Right as in its on the right side
not so much that its ya know Right.
given conservative policies and ideas have been shown to cause more harm and suffering then their left wing coutnerparts.
When majority of the developed and more successful world institutes more Left wing policies, Conservative ideas have caused damage to the economy through tax cuts for the rich, mass deregulation, and then theres the issue of the hate and suppression of peoples views.
hard to say youre on the "Right Side"
It’s not conservative it’s moral, logical and sane thought unfortunately the left has become morally, logically and insane.
Looks like 2 people have one way tickets straight to hell. Fuck em.

That’s the problem with humanity, two sides always bickering which side is correct, which is why there’s always war, had something as big as Jesus 2000 years ago, yet that still didn’t stop humanity fighting, why?

Someone from Bulgaria once told me that she was amazed when she came to America, and see people around the world living in the same country, and they do not attack each other. Great video and keep speaking the truth!
Bulgaria is a normal country what… I’ve been to Sofia on holiday and there’s all sort of different races living there, literally one of the biggest attractions is the massive Muslim mosque in the centre which I assume is used by Turks .
Nothing wrong with Bulgaria. I’m a Bulgarian myself and don’t know what this woman was talking about
@@IhaveBigFeetyes Muslims oppressed Bulgarians and enslaved them for centuries like other Balkan-European folks. So it’s not surprising they built mosques there, after all they colonised them for a long time
Mmm....yet USA instigated so many wars and bombed so many countries....
Thank you Patrick - my favorite quip: tolerance is accepting the unacceptable - there is no morality with tolerance.
Our Founding Fathers embraced religion. Saw it necessary for a moral, loving, and successful nation. Whether they were just Deists, they KNEW that religion (especially Christianity) was an important part of the United States of America.
They were sooo religious and moral yet they thought owning humans was good ??
That is why they made sure the US was a secular state keeping religion and the state seperated after seeing the total madness of Protestants VS Catholics during the 30 years of war in Europe that in time led to secularism.The bible and Koran are just political ideologies disguised as religious books. They have inspired more mass genocides,slavery and destruction of indigenous cultures across the world ...
@menacemini4894 awwwe you wanna sign up for victimhood...and you go on yelp and write your complaint.
@@user-xi8jh8xo4b 😂😂 damn You PBD bots don’t play .. I hope you are bots and not comment stalkers 😂😂😂😂
@@menacemini4894 Well if owning human beings is not good then 'good' must be objectively real not merely a subjective construct. An advancement in moral judgements is possible only if there really is an uncreated, self-existent Moral Law that enables moral judgements of good and evil to be correct. Otherwise to say owning slaves is contrary to what is good is merely to say something about one's own private, subjective feelings that have no relevance beyond the self. It's quite possible religious people thought it okay to own slaves but but the condemnation of slavery is valid only if the condemnation is ultimately Supremely Good and Supremely Right.
Governments hate competition on telling you how to live your life
Bravo Pat. This is so well done.

Morality means you have a standard of beliefs, so you’re mindful and aware of yourself , as well as your environment. You can’t be controlled if you believe in something bigger than yourself with humility
Tell the Branch Davidians that
I find that to not be fully accurate. I spent 20 years in Christianity. I recently stopped believing in any written god. If anything, religion with Abrahamic gods are very controlling.
@ShiniGuraiJoker I've been Christian all my life.
There is nothing controlling about Christianity. Love is the law that should drive you, anything else is what controls you.
@josemadrigal2293 I used to think that, but I kist can't ignore any of the glaring issues within the bible or accept the, "God is God, so he can do X as his right."
There is ample amounts of writings within the bible that go against that concept.
@ShiniGuraiJoker If you understand the Bible, nothing is against love, which I find that to be "the consept"
Morality is what brought me to Christ. Waking up to the fact that everyone around me and the world operates as if truth and morality are subjective drove me straight to Christ. I always knew morality and truth were objective, I just didn't know it was a person!
Simply fantastic! This is a gift to me for my heart and mind have burned with this exact topic.
We are born with morality we all know right from wrong the creator God created you in his image, the government want to create you to obey their moral rules and live how they say 🙏🏻👏🏻

My only gripe with Patrick is he seems to believe that every societal institution would be better of being run like a corporation with a corporate structure. Some things are not negotiable no matter how many differing opinions arise in the board room. Evil cannot be fought by simply voting or changing corporate policy.
Communism is the "universal" church...that's just how it is, STUDY the script you'll "see."
if we lived in a world where everythign was corperate run and owned, then wed be nothing but slaves to those with wealth. and wed have no power to stop or push back.
Its called Anarcho Capitalism and its the worst idea in the world that will lead to so much issues for society then it claims to solve.
And thats why business men dont belong in the white house. It will always be about the bottom line and not the good of the people via the individuals well being not about value you can extract from them.
I am pro free market,not pro corporate capitalism which sadly many Repubs seem to conflate the two.
Sounds to me like you could listen more, and I mean really listen. Maybe he talks too fast for you to keep up? Because I don’t hear him talking like that at all.
Morality comes from the holy spirit inside you
What about for people who do not have it? Where will morality come from for them?
@@adaml7349 most folks don't have morality.
Morality has nothing to do with the potential of the Holy Spirit inside you. I know plenty of people who are not religious in the least, who are considerably more moral than some of the most religious people I’ve met. It’s instilled in you over your life, or it’s not.
silly and foolish lie
@@DJJ81 holy spirit doesn’t have to make someone outwardly religious,
Thank you Mr. Bet David. What a way to kick of the year 📈
The new covenant with God is for the law to be written in our hearts, so that's where morality begins. Then teaching yourself and family about your faith, its history and impact, then practicing it. We all tend to ebb and flow, and when we pay attention, we'll find it is better when we're actively connecting with God through prayer, good works and lifting each other up. Like a lot of what you do, Patrick. You're a really good role model.
Seriously, this man is a beacon of light and motivation for a single father like myself

Because it challenges its monopoly on power.
Does it? Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Afghanistan would strongly disagree. It's easier to control people when you tell them their oppression is ordained by allah or whatever deity they believe in.
@@ndimuafrica Muslim religion worships distant impersonal cosmic force, which does not compete with governmental monopoly on power. The religion governments fear is the Christianity, because it frees man from blind dependency on government and also limits its ability to abuse citizens. The reality is that modern western governments live on unlimited taxation and need unrestricted power to use these money to rule every minute detail of our lives, which is fundamentally opposed to the Christian idea!
Great job Patrick. Reminded me that I have to stay strong and pray togethor with my family everyday. God bless you.
Hi PBD, the issue of sex change is addressed in the Bible in Deuteronomy 22:5 "A woman shall not wear men's clothing, neither shall a man put on women's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh your God". I really like your podcasts but don't forget to read the Word ! God Bless you.
What did you do in order for the option of different audios in different languages appear for the video.
You have no idea how much this helps Spanish speaking people that watches your videos me for example I been watching you for years and this is amazing, more if the option was in every video please consider this!
Simple. Governments fear religion because when one has a higher power, governments power becomes secondary.
Ask yourself this; the government says (Do horrible things against your true religious beliefs) or be killed, what do you do?
I'll obey my God and die for my beliefs. This is the power they wish they had.
Governments fear religion? How? The same black robe that a protestant preacher wears, you wear when you graduate high school etc. The same black robe that a judge wears in court. The same Bible they swear on. The government uses religion to its advantage.
Governments that fear religion are insecure fearing that citizens recognize an authority above the government that enables the citizens to hold their government to account. If there is no moral authority above the government then the state can act as the 'supreme authority' with no higher authority to appeal to to rightly judge the state - no means to condem it or be morally critical but equally no means to rightly praise it
Then it becomes necessary to form proper, enlightened religion. One that liberate the people completely. Not degrade into older, archaic (and already well understood means on how to manipulate and control) religious ideologies.
@@Windrake101 go for it, all your need is a Messiah and several billion followers.
Governments that fear religion most are those with the strongest impulses for tyranny - those that fear their citizens acknowledging a Supreme authority above the state by which the state can be rightly judged negatively but then neither could it be rightly judged in any way laudable.
Thank for the motivation god bless you
Great video! Keep it up, PBD!
I like you how you analyze everything .. It’s not a risk to have faith .. it’s a risk putting your faith into religion .. !
Very good video. Explains everything going on now.
Most modern governments gained their power by separating the state and church. That's why most secular governments don't like religion to be too big in their societies. Not saying a government ran by priests is better. There gotta be a balance somewhere.
I don't think one religion should be the ruler of all I don't a theocracy
Separating church and state is the balance. What balance do you think is more balanced then that?
@@henrytep8884 it was the balancing act back in the 18th century. Nowadays radical atheistic elites has taken over most institutions in secular countries. A rebalance is needed.
@@henrytep8884That church and government also dont fight
Religion should have zero place in the government
Morality without God is ultimately a Preference. Prove me wrong.
If the world is against the truth, then I am against the world.
-Athanasius of Alexandria
I'd say I'm agnostic. But I want to raise my children in a church. I think it's good for morality, community, and having the holidays together as a family. The fall of religion in the West is part of the major reason why we are declining.
There definitely is a god and the god of the Bible makes the most sense to me
Well Islam was made using parts of the Bible and tells its believers to persecute unbelievers Hindus beliefs cows are gods there’s too much prophecy in the Bible that comes true like the nations coming against the Israel in the end times
@@bobthetitanicwatch "Chuck Missler Hidden Treasures in the Bible" and then you'll know how. Also lookup a chinese pastor showing how their alphabet has stories from the book of genesis. The stories are embedded into their letter's meanings. Just type "bible stories in Chinese alphabet" Also read The Coming Prince by Sir Robert Anderson, which proves the prophecy of Jesus's 1st Coming in the book of Daniel was fulfilled to-the-day.
I could go on and on with evidences like this. Unfortunately, PBD doesn't know that the Bible Can be proven.
@@bobthetitanic I would not be able to convince you that the Bible makes sense. I give up.

Always kind of felt that religion was the unacknowledged 4th branch of government. Due to the fact that it's about disciplines and belief in forces greater than one's own self.
😂😂 tf you talking about? In every western nation religion is excluded from government because it’s can create a group of individuals who can use government to oppress those that don’t share the same, when all in a society should be free to think of their own individual ideas. Calling religion the 4th branch is basically shitting on the US constitution.
One of the best discussions of morality I've seen is between Jordan Peterson and Dr John Lennox. Humans in isolation cannot set a benchmark for morality because of our capricious natures and a tendency to towards egocentrism . The Morality God gives us is absolute and unchanging. Society cannot rely on secular humanism to uphold ideas of morality. "There is a a way that seems right to man but in the end leads to destruction"
Rev.14:7 "He was saying in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of judgment by him has arrived, so worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of water.”
I agree that people who have faith can stand up better to government over reach.
Nope overreach is what religion does, that’s why the founders kept religion out of government.
The enemy is criminal government
In the words of Abraham Lincoln when questioned on religion he replied (I think) "When I do good, I feel good but when I do bad, I feel bad". Morality is where the discernment between the two comes from.
I am very impressed by pbd's drive, energy and enthusiasm. Amazing guy.
PBD this was on point! This was more of a message that God put in your heart to say what no one is addressing!
“Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

We need to define “fear”. To fear the Lord Jesus Christ is to love home & serve him not “fear” him as in the thought that I’m afraid of what He’ll do to me if I don’t follow him

*invents religion*
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" couldn't get more clear than that!
That was put in so the government couldn't force people into having only one church like the church of England. According to who was King or Queen at the time and the religion was what the Ruler Believed . They also didn't believe that the Government had a right to take God out of the schools and replace him with evolution, sadism, and all of the other religions ( but they did believe that everyone had a right to worship anyway they want to). That is what our country was built on. But the government did it anyway by interpreting it the way they wanted it to be not how the Founding Fathers meant it. Don't waste your insults on me. I have been insulted by some of the best Atheists there is. So read the Constitution the way that our Founding Fathers meant it and stop letting the Satanic rules of this country control your mind. God gave you a mind. Use it. Don't just believe it because someone said so. God said to test everything. He didn't say believe everything that you hear. He wants everyone to know the truth.
@lindaholland1083 You are right in the first part, and wrong in the rest of your statement.... The constitution is technically a secular document. The only time god is mentioned is to remind us that god is excluded. Its very clear. No where in the constitution god is given any type of power. The only thing that does is protect religious followers. NOT cristians only! Every religion is welcome to come and practice. No religion is allow to influence schools in anyway shape or form. Schools are govertment funded. Therefore, under your interpretation that god should be in school is incorrect.
Placing god in school is against the constitution 100%. I'm pretty sure you would have a problem if the country becomes majority Muslims, and they decide to implement their religious culture into our schools.

You don't have to believe in a "God" to be disciplined.
Morality definitely doesn’t come from religion. A lot of tue worst atrocities were committed using religion as a justification
Really ??
And because of that religion is the problem ??
The UK and the US are GodLess societies so why are the prisons FULL while Alcohol Gambling and Porn is all legal and destroying families and communities !!
Can you explain that ??
So where does morality come from If not religion, maybe our elected leaders (one word ISRAEL ) !
Do you know which countries have the lowest crime rates in the world. ??
@@Mohammed-dy6xb our sense of community. Humans are rational people. We make decisions that either hurt the community or help the community. That’s where right and wrong come from.
Well actually it does come from religion the oldest being the vedas that described the occupational and moral duties of people in every social class. The problem is abrahamic faiths are weaponized religions, it conceived to dismantle the Roman empire from within and create a new axis of power that persists even today.
@@DrewbattleTheGreatno it doesn't humanity falls short on the glory of God.your confusing religion with God. religion can be corrupted.God cannot morality comes from God.humanity is incapable of having morality just look at history and the State of this corrupted world.
Hey Pat, my late father was a preacher and when I told him I was considering following his path he told me that if I really wanted to help people than a church was not the way to do these days. In a way you are in your own ministry. I really enjoyed your vertical farming video a while back. That is how I first found out about you. To me, science and technology is much more interesting then the political videos even though they can be related. I wish you would do a video on cloud seeding and HAARP Ionospheric heater. Your team does a nice job of researching and presenting the information. Thank you!
Well said. The Gospel must be taken to where the crowds are not just cooped up in a church
Isn't it a shame? We founded this country with Judeo-Christian values. It grew into the GREATEST nation on earth, the minute we removed prayer from school, started getting offended by people calling us out on our sins and demanded we become our own gods, was the minute the end began. I can hear all the atheists reading this "We were not a Christian Nation!!!". Hah, read the statements of the founding fathers and writers of the constitution (Which makes us a Republic of Sovereign states, NOT a democracy), they if they were alive today would vehemently disagree. The reason Christianity is the superior life goal is that it gives each individual an AUTHORITY over them instead of them being their own authority. True freedom has boundaries and responsibilities.
My prayers go out to all the followers of Bootyism. Jesus loves you.
Morality comes from a lot of things. Genetics, your upbringing, where you grew up, things that happened to you, if you were shown love, who your friends were, experiences, influences, your own opinion after you try and figure out the world, your health, what you were eating ect.. Some people are born a certain way, they never like pizza no matter what. Some people have the perfect upbringing but become serial killers. They just like the thrill of killing and love torturing people. Morality has to do with a lot of things but when it comes down to it, it's mainly something you're born with. It's basically common sense and empathy. Natural law. Some people no matter how good they have it just don't give af.
Cool story, except behaviorism has basically proved that nurture is more powerful than nature. Domesticated wild animals is a perfect example....
@@DemocratsRDemons We're not animals though.
@@TheRichie213 I've got some bad news to break to you, because humans ARE animals. Homo Sapien to be exact. Part of a class of vertebrates called Mammals. But, I guess in clown world, where reddit-tier pseudo-intellectuals are making the rules, we can declare ourselves whatever we like now...
@@TheRichie213 Newsflash, Big Brain. We are animals. We are in a vertebrate class called mammalia.
@@DemocratsRDemons We have similarities but we're still different. Like I said earlier.. It's both the environment and genetics. Real gay people are born gay. Heterosexuals are born heterosexuals. Some people are born with more testosterone, some people have different taste buds ect.. It's mainly the levels of different things in you that makes you who you are.
probably multiple sources but i think morality is the universal belief on how to live ones life because of causality. the effect it has on all our lives. the standards we live by so things don't spiral into oblivion from LACK of morals.
You make more sense than most Methodist pastors. Thanks for this!!!
Al hamdulillah for Islam, it makes sense 😊
If you believe Islam makes sense, you don't know Islam.
Flying horses don't make sense. Never will.
Morality mainly comes from the family, which is the main core of society. The problem is, when that family has no fundamental values and principles, it does not contribute anything to society, only "free minds- progressivism " type of sh! T...
So where does the family come from who created it.
@@roseroselyne9045 I'm a Christian and I believe in God if that's what you want to know. If you want me to put it in clear words, atheist and families that grow without believing in God tend to contribute very little to society in terms of values and principles...
Being ungrateful is the beginning of one's personal downfall and when A LOT of people are ungrateful, it is the beginning of a society's downfall. IMO
To those who are replying to my comments. She was not saying anything negative about Bulgaria. By the way that conversation is over ten years ago. She is a proud Bulgarian. Let us face it, in the U.S. we have people almost all over the world. It is great that we can live peacefully and not afraid of the other. Do not get overly sensitive.
Religion is just another facet of control. The word itself means "to bind" ...takes away your spirituality and gives you rules. Sounds like government to me.
You're going to bind yourself to something. Choose your master wisely.
You can't be spiritual if you don't believe in God you fool.if you don't believe in moral laws from God then you serve lawlessness and you are worshipping Satan foo.
As a guy who practices santeria, you can't trust anyone but the saints. for they know best and know what dangers lies ahead. Sure, roosters get expensive. But it beats being exploited by the IRS for nothing.
Find Jesus Christ, my friend!
@nabil706 i already have a altar to jesus. He approves Santería
@@jessecuster42 „You shall have no other God‘s besides me“🤔
@@nabil706 Ah, I am pagan. I can worship anyone I want.
Your paper work said SEX Transition is not mentioned in Christianity. Here it is: Deuteronomy 22:5 prohibits men from dressing like women and women from dressing like men. God warns us to maintain the distinctions of the sexes that He created ... Thanks for your presentation more, influencers need to talk about this. Thankful and grateful and comfortable in our own presence.
I don't know why I got emotional....😢🥺 listening to him on this topic
Governments fear religion be ause it gives people hope and faith. Governments want to take that away.
Why is the Pope not truly pushing God and unity across all religions. God is the common thing and should be the new starting point in a universal religion. Thank you for all you do.
The misconception of religion is wide spread.
I'm not beliber but I understand the importance of moral values and the core of religion on it. If you don't understand the importance of social morality you're not ready to atheist.
PBD - Unafraid to delve deeper into the great issues of our era.
Thank you, Patrick! Always valuable information.❤
Hey PBD, I got correct you there... African, Nigerians to be exact (I’m a Nigerian) do not recognize prayer for the purpose of giving thanks, but for the purpose of seeking Favour.. asking for help or what one desires.
Most prayerful country and also one of the most unsafe with endless interfaith massacres every other day. Makes you wonder.
Do unto others as you would have them
Do unto you. All you need.
Thank you!
Morality emerged through societal and individual power struggles. Moral values evolved as a result of the interactions between different power structures and the ways people asserted their wills in society.
Excellent segment PBD!! GB you for articulating so well this Topic!!!
Responding to the question before continuing the video: morality is negotiated between individuals and the community. How do we facilitate communial relations, well-being of the group and autonomy of the individual. Too much control you have autocracy to much individual autonomy you have chaos. To think "religion is the root of morals" is too simplistic because religion, at the institutional and individual level, have done despicable acts. Also same applies to secular institutions and philosophies. No matter the creed, faith, philosophy, belief ect. They are all coruptable and can cause harm. The philosophy of morality i embrace the most is stoic. One should embrace challene and grow stronger in character. To do good without expectation of reward because virtuous action better the world for all.
EDIT: and as an atheist i do not agree with the whole "you are morally sound because your religious parents raised you right." I disagree plenty on the moral level interms of my family and the parts we agree are so generalized that they are universal maxims of morality (ie: murder is wrong)
Beautifully said. Thank you. Well pointed but also well respected. Philosophy is knowledge and knowledge is tolerance.
