Description: **EDIT** I revised the title of this, mainly for me - I didn't want anyone to get offended. Basically, I think the whole world could do without religion, or their religious image of "God". Now that doesn't mean people can't be SPIRITUAL - there is a huge difference. The second you stop listening to new ideas and experiences and dub yourself a certain religious belief, no matter how general or specific, you are LIMITING your ability to think for yourself. It serves only as a mental blockade of what already exists within yourself. When it all comes down to it, anything and *everything* is God. YOU, are God. Everything that exists within our reality and our personal experiences make us into what we are. But everyone is the same when you take away that personal experience - we are *all* part of the bigger picture. We all have the power to create what we believe. Don't just take others' words for it. Ask yourself. Meditate on it. Ask God, if that's what you want to do. Ask him, while you sit alone with your eyes closed, "God, I know I was brought up to believe this, but I am asking you with complete honesty and human curiosity, this: What *are* you?" --- I'd like to see a video response with what 'he' said. But I'm being blunt now - just watch the video and you'll see me be a bit more understanding and constructive.

thedarkener ::: Favorites =) Thanks for that. I agree 100%. We harness much more power than we attribute ourselves. 07-10-06 02:56:00 __________________________________________________
onlyinitforthedrugs ::: Favorites there is no religion that is right and no religion that is wrong. it´s just a Personal Opinion =) Personally I'm an atheist. The only thing I believe in, is that people need to believe in themselves. Thanx for a great video 07-10-05 22:25:48 __________________________________________________

tlcasting ::: Favorites : its not that you stick to something but its the idea of what brings you faith. <~ iTs like my mother says that its what brings you a purpose in life and what you belive in . : i think that god and jesus were divine and the bible was written in symbols with gods inspiration but I also think that the peace that buhda brings to the people is also very good . and maybe someone has another belive and its not the belifs its the person who is doing the action by its own will and desitions. 07-09-21 19:22:41 __________________________________________________
mrRababi ::: Favorites ~Excellent. You come over very honest and sincere in your video, without being brash and sarcastc (mostly). I'm a Christian, was not always so. The very things you legitimately question can be levied back to you as an atheist, eg, was Jesus just a man? was he just like you and me? you say he was, but have you met him? you look far too young for the answer to be yes. LOL. 07-08-15 11:20:18 __________________________________________________
abigalemckenzie ::: Favorites I think that if we all did get that "reality check" before the end of the world, that it would have to take something really really scary. Like 911 wasn't enough, it's hard to believe things will get better for the world. It would take a mirical to turn things around, but we havent done anything to deserve one. 07-08-06 23:40:48 __________________________________________________
abigalemckenzie ::: Favorites Because that's how people have become these days. its sad, religion, or our beliefs, have just become another reason for us to discriminate against each other. And being hypocritical about the whole situation. Kind of like racism. I will hate to see the world within the next 10 years, if it lasts that long. Hell will rain on earth. The name is Abbi (: 07-08-06 23:21:12 __________________________________________________
thedarkener ::: Favorites And that's it... your trust, in whatever "God" you choose to believe in. Trust me...whoever you are, as long as you believe in something, that is what's important. It's the ones who try to push their individual beliefs onto others that get to me - we're individuals, so why can't we all have individual beliefs without others trying to convince us otherwise? 07-08-04 23:48:35 __________________________________________________
abigalemckenzie ::: Favorites Jesus was human, but he was the son of God. He was the only human in history that was perfect. I think you don't us humans enough credit. I think that Jesus set foot on this earth to proove our power as human beings, and to motivate us to do the right thing. and to test our faith, and our love in God.There are many questions unanwsered, so it all really boils down to our trust in God. 07-08-04 21:57:26 __________________________________________________
thedarkener ::: Favorites You're welcome. I was just voicing my own personal opinion. Please do me one favor, if you do one favor for me in your life - make your *own* decisions. Not for anybody else. For you. 07-07-30 03:14:02 __________________________________________________
