This atheist, and scientist explains why he came to the realization why there has to be a loving God! [Spirituality & Religion]

@MrBrownstone Watch the video before you complain please!

@Carazaa Counter my point.

No watch the video please!

@Carazaa Nah. Already gave proof.

@MrBrownstone [quote]Nah. Already gave proof.[/quote]

Really? What proof is that?

@MrBrownstone why wouldn’t you watch the video?

@Lindaisfun I read what others said it was about.

@MrBrownstone so you’d rather go off the word of others rather than checking it out for yourself?

@Lindaisfun No. That’s exactly why I’m not religious.

@MrBrownstone what does being religious have to do with being open minded and watching the video? Lol. I don’t get it. If you haven’t seen it why comment? The whole thread is about the video, so if you haven’t seen it, why comment?

@Lindaisfun Thank you, that is reasonable!

@Lindaisfun Religious people are the least open minded. I give them a taste of their own medicine.

@MrBrownstone Not the man in the video He is very open minded!

@MrBrownstone is that a fact? How do you know this? Sounds like a very closed minded stereotyping statement. Again I ask, why would you comment on the video without seeing it?

@MrBrownstone you are so right. The religion of scientism has the most closed minded individuals I have ever met. Extreme fundamentalism is their wont. AMAZING! Presenting a new prospective to them is like dipping a coven of witches in holy water. They are not going to accept it no how no way. It is absolutely hilarious to read the rantings when you give them a different idea. Closed minds is the order of the day for the cult of scientism.

Got a agree with you there, bro.

@hippyjoe1955 Hilarious. The most closed-minded and dogmatic people I’ve met are ''Christians'' such as yourself. Not only are you incapable of considering an alternate viewpoint, anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

@LeopoldBloom I have already changed my mind based on my observations. Too bad you are simply an indoctrinated cultist incapable of doing any independent thought. I used to be a member of your cult. I got out of it. It didn't answer any of its own questions. Matter from nothing for no reason. Life from non living for no reason. Extremely rare and fortuitous accidents leading to an ever broader scope of life forms both in quantity and in complexity. All of which contradicts the evidence before us. Oh but scientism has fossils - that indicate nothing. Oh but scientism has gene - which indicate intelligent coding not random chance. Oh but scientism has chemical reactions - which reduces every point scientism makes to just a chemical reaction not worth debate or discussion. The great philosophers thoughts and ideas no different than indigestion. Great scientific insights of no more importance than a burp of fetid swamp gas. If that is what you want I will leave you to your swill.

As for me and like minded individuals = I [b]KNOW[/b] Whom I have believed. I have met Him. He is capable the intricate design we see all around us in order to sustain life. He is able to make a complete integrated system that can sustain itself through recycling of constituent parts and not kill itself with its own byproducts. I Know the One that set the stars in their place and causes them to shine. I Know that He wants to have a personal relationship with me and in the process make me His child. I have come to understand my time on this earth is very much like the time I spent in my mother's womb. I am cut off from the outside word in a protected environment while I gather strength and ability to enter the real world

Sadly you and your ilk do not have that hope or understanding. Yours in a mundane world where you are just a bag of chemicals chemically reacting for no reason actually and for no purpose. You go until the chemicals stop and then you are no more. I am looking forward to Eternal Life. You are looking forward to .... nothing. There is no more. Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die and there is nothing beyond it. Therefore we will serve our belly and our urges for there is nothing more.

Hey if that is what you want to believe despite all the contrary evidence then you keep your membership in your cult of scientism. Have a nice flame out.

@hippyjoe1955 I've changed my mind, too. I was raised in a religious household. The religious explanation turned out to be illogical and incoherent, so I abandoned it. Your claim to have gone from atheism to a particularly absurd form of religious belief doesn't say much for your own mental abilities, not to mention your taste.

If you've met God in person, well, I'm sure that was a compelling experience, but I have my own opinion of what that really was. Your atheism is a straw man and I don't believe for a second that you were ever exposed to actual atheist thought. You probably grew up irreligious without a single spiritual thought invading your head until you "found religion" the way many people do, as an outlet for hatred and a way to consider yourself better than everyone else. In other words, nothing but tribalism.

The weird thing is that the conflict between religion and science is completely of your own making. Science has nothing whatsoever to say about your little dream. It doesn’t give a shit - it doesn’t deal with metaphysics at all.

This sentiment betrays a poverty of spirit and imagination. It’s like when Christians propose that non-believers have no reason to act in a moral fashion lmao. It says way more about their motivations and drives than everyone else’s.
