Beautifully observed

On the other side of what???????????

What a marshmallow, ambiguous comment. Yeah we just want a nice lovable cosmic Santa Claus idea of God at the end of the day. Why even believe in God? Why even believe in the Bible whether it be the old testament with all of its judgmental images of God or Jesus himself in the New testament time and time again referring to the judgment of God? Why not just believe in some kind of vast cosmic lovey-dovey reality? Why bother with the rest of it, God or the Bible?

@@grosbeak6130 you have a lot of thinking and reflection to do.

@@MFJoneser I can see that you felt that EasternTriad's comment here held something endearing to you personally. Try to get past your own "Beautifully observed" comment. Atheism is on the rise and people have some hard questions about having such a "loving God" alongside the enormous suffering going on in the world. Did you miss that in the message of my comment? Well now you know. P.s. I'm not personally an atheist, but I respect their questions and their reservations about such a loving God. Yes they are hard questions concerning such a God and the Bible, but they are honest questions. Is that enough reflection for you?

We agree. Closer To Truth has begun a major Global Philosophy of Religion project, working with the University of Birmingham (UK - led by Professor Yujin Nagasawa). CTT is presenting more than 20 in-depth interviews and panel discussions on diverse traditions, including African religions, Buddhism, Hinduism (Vedanta), Islam, Jain, Judaism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, and other traditions (listed alphabetically), as well as Christianity in dialogue. These are being released on the Closer To Truth KZfaq channel - Global Philosophy of Religion.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btujbJuVqdmZl30.html are some that are released.

He is not much of a journalist when it comes to religion - his view is limited to Christianity Hinduism with the concept of Reincarnation is saying THERE IS ONLY ONE WORLD! THIS ONE! God made this world, this earth, gave us this life - Life is a Gift from God But Christians & Muslims are refusing this Gift and ending up as lower life forms

@Indian Tiger Typical loser tactic - when defeated, turn to personal abuse and attacks I am not stooping to your level

Right.

Even if the creator wasn't all-knowing, in what moral sense could a person be judged for how they were created?

@Bassotronics _"Judgment means God does not “know” how we will behave. "_ In Islam God will not make a person accountable until God deliver the message of Islam to them.

Primitive people living under Kings/Dictators made these Gods using them as a template "We must get down on our knees, swear obedience & loyalty(belief), obey only him and no one else, beg for his mercy and hope for a reward(Heaven)" Simple, primitive ideas of God amazingly being blindly followed by even the best of minds of the 21st century So much for all our progress, education and intelligence

Your God known as a mass murderer in your holy book, you must be gullible turn to a blind eye..

We associate judgement with vengeance, then attribute God with the same association. God doesn’t judge this way, as your comment suggests. However, while we sleep, God offers His Judgement to replace the hateful form we’ve grown accustom to: This is God’s Final Judgment: “You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure. ²Therefore awaken and return to Me. ³I am your Father and you are My Son.” ~ACIM W-pII.10.5:1-3

_"God loves."_ Romans 9:13 "As it is written, Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."

_"God loves."_ God raped ("overshadowed") Mary while she was engaged to Joseph and while God was married to Asherah, Aholah and Aholibah (who were sisters). God's sons also "ravished" human females and impregnated them. God sent one of his representatives to tell Mary, that even though she was engaged to Joseph and frightened by the encounter, that God would impregnate her. The Bible uses the word "overshadow", which is the Greek word, "επισκιάζω" (episkiazó). Some Christians interpret "overshadow" to mean that some sort of mystical cloud or divine wind hovered over Mary and then she became pregnant. But the literal translation of the word is, "to overshadow, to use influence upon by a looming presence (skiá)" and figuratively means "to invest with preternatural (extraordinary, exceeding what is normal) influence". So, the "overshadowing" was God using what the Bible describes as the "extraordinary" coercion of his greater power and status to dominate and overpower Mary's desires and will by forcing his own desire to force unwanted sexual contact from frightened Mary with the intent of impregnating her. The word Mary uses to accept the command to be impregnated is "ginomai", which means "let it not be, far be it from, God forbid". In Mary's praise and thanksgiving to God in Luke 1:48 she says, “God has lifted up his humble maidservant.” The Greek word for “humble” is the same one that the Septuagint (the old Greek version of the Hebrew Bible) uses to describe the rape of Dinah in Genesis and other incidents of sexual violation.

Heaven is a metaphor for the womb, Childhood - a time when we were pure, innocent, but helpless, weak - needed to be cared for, fed, sheltered & protected - live in a bubble & kept away from the Big bad REAL WORLD that we live in I doubt you can run back to the womb, or childhood - you can't live in the past You can't expect God to be a Nanny and keep you in comfort & tend to you like a helpless child

Damsels in distress hoping for the Knight in shining armor to come save them The life that God created for us - this world, this earth and this life is not easy is it? Nothing is free, nothing is given - once adults we have to learn to stand on our own two feet, make a living, face the world & if stale bread is all we can afford, that is what we eat The good things in life have to be worked for, sacrificed for, deal with setbacks But the weak, the lazy & the coward have no stomach for it - some turn to crime Others turn to the likes of cruel Dictators like Putin, Saddam - support them unconditionally and are GIVEN the easy good life Others become prostitutes/gigolos/leeches/freeloaders - look around for a rich Sugar Daddy to GIVE them a life of ease & comfort THESE PEOPLE ARE SAVED FROM HAVING TO WORK, HAVING TO FACE THE WORLD & ITS PROBLEMS. They live the good life in a bubble, do no work, just sit around enjoying the good life while their Sugar Daddy keeps them in comfort This is what Religions exploit - they have parked Sugar Daddy Gods in the sky - get down on our knees, beg, grovel and he will be pleased and GIVE us that easy lazy life of ease & comfort We won't have to work anymore - we will live in a nice Retirement Home forever! No work, no worries - free food, shelter, protection and care! No more worrying about climate change, discrimination, poverty, evil people, disease - we get to live in a nice bubble And meanwhile down below our families are homeless, our children are going to bed hungry, our country is at war or suffering - we don't care anymore! Amazing that so many even the brightest of us - give in to these cheap promises

@Indian Tiger you have to repent and believe in Jesus Christ to have sins forgiven because good works does not save you. For it is by Grace we are saved ,but you have to believe and trust in that Grace which is Jesus Christ ,he is also Mercy that's why Jesus Christ is God.

@Indian Tiger as a father of Jesus Christ we do our best to abstain from all appearance of evil. In Jesus Christ said on the cross father forgive them for they know not what they do which would be ignorance not knowing and sometimes we're not knowing what we do or realizing until somebody else steps in and gives us a constructive perspective. Which if we continue to reach in the God's word Jesus Christ has given us the constructive perspective.

@Indian Tiger the Bible states that we are not of this world, in fact those are Jesus Christ words. King David committed adultery and then sent Uriah to the front of the line where the fighting was the fiercest so he would die so he basically killed him committed murder also. David wrote Psalm 22 which is a prophecy of Jesus Christ. And really should we be pushing for a cursed humanity and not pushing for God to set up his kingdom? and helping to find those who want to follow after; to go along to his kingdom. I don't think we should be doubting his kingdom. I'm positive of it I am sure of it my faith which is belief and trust reside in it through Jesus Christ.

@Indian Tiger Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I don't disagree with you. The baby from that died. David repented. People do things in ignorance. I know I've caught myself. Sure you have also. Revelation 21 new heaven and new earth for the first heaven and earth passed away. Verse 5 behold I make all things new. Only God knows the intent of the heart. So you keep your Pharastical view, tiger. I'll stick with the roast of the Lion of Judah.

@Indian Tiger Abraham slept with Sarah's maid servant and had a son outside of the will of God. Yet God still kept his promise and made a nation out of Abraham.

Christianity & Islam are Master/Slave religions - God seen as a Master - down on our knees, beg, obey, beg for mercy and hope for a reward - eternal pleasures of the flesh in Heaven Hinduism & Buddhism are Teacher/Student faiths - God is our Teacher - our goal is to make our Teacher proud of us our accomplishments - the bliss of the heart, mind & soul Reincarnation basically saying THERE IS ONLY ONE WORLD! THIS ONE! See life as a Gift from God, we are not sinners or slaves, but Children of God and the earth is our home Hoping to run away from this life and hide in fantasy Heavens won't work - cowardice will not be rewarded

They may be the same place. Maybe things don’t go in order. or maybe we die, wake up and suddenly remember everything that happened before. Maybe we can see the entire universe like looking in an ant farm. or maybe everybody we’be ever known is there, or perhaps Poof! We wake up and there’s a psychologist like “how was it? Huh? “Your simulation. are you alright? How many years did you make it?” “My god every relationship, every death, every celebration it was all simulated?”

Ah but that won't work - what you are then saying is that ALL good people are with God - just like saying let the best candidate get the job or promotion If that is the case the Corrupt person would not benefit - the only way corruption works is by changing the rules - yes you are the best qualified for the job but....... If ALL Good people are with God, if only Actions decide whether we are with God or not, then there is no need for religion, no need to convert to Christianity! Can't have that, can we? Hence "Heaven, only if you are with Jesus" So basically Atheist & Hindu doctors who gave their lives fighting the Corona Virus get dumped into hell while pedophiles and murderers of the cloth get heaven! And these are the top religions of the 21st century So much for all our education, intelligence and morality

What if judgement is just coming to know everything about your actions and consequences perfectly? Your rationality becomes perfect and you end up judging yourself knowing truth in all its details including affected people’s subjective experiences. Imagine that for a horrible person like Hitler. It’s just a what if though.

1Co 7:30-31 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

These kind of ideas appeal to the old, the retired - those who seek a peace of mind But these are not good for the young - those who aspire, dream When a football team loses - it is losing because the other team played better they should feel the sting of the loss, let it hurt & use that pain to play better

It is also a primitive backward idea of Vengeance - an eye for an eye - is the way to go How does torturing or brutalizing the criminal help the victim in any way? How is this Justice? So God cannot deliver Justice? Shows that these ideas and Gods are man-made

Jesus said, "in this world, there will be tribulations." Search deeper into either to learn the path which Buddha tried to share or know the way, Jesus himself. Buddha is a honest man, he share knowledge of enlightenment, how many understands? God spoke the word in parables and metaphors which man ridicules yet many are believing. The wisdom of God, salvation is by faith. This filters out the arrogant ones. There is only one truth, put down religious lens and notice the many teachings to be similar. Also, the ancient wisdom in Verdanta. Also, the original teachings of Tao. All these will agree, "this is an illusive world". So, don't take life too hard. Eat, drink, be good, be merry that you may become humble and stumble out of this world.

@Indian Tiger Heehee Thanks, Tiger.

And amazingly primitive - The Christian/Muslim God is obviously a King/Dictator - primitive people living under Kings/Dictators made them in their image "We must get down on our knees, swear obedience & loyalty(belief), beg for his mercy, and hope for a reward(Heaven)" Simple, primitive ideas of God from simple, primitive people but amazingly being blindly followed by even the best of minds of the 21st century

There is a nice Retirement Home in the sky? We go from one Retirement Home to another?

Christianity & Islam are Master/Slave religions - God viewed as a Master - the goal is heaven - eternal pleasures of the flesh - to get it we must get down on our knees, obey and swear loyalty to the Master, hope he is pleased and GIVE us that good life God is a Putin, a Saddam - the good life is for loyal supporters only Life is a Sin - we must run away from here & if we kiss the right butt, pray to the right God, he will be pleased and GIVE us a life of ease & comfort God seen as a Sugar Daddy for whom the likes of prostitutes/gigolos/leeches/freeloaders look for Hinduism/Buddhism are Teacher/Student faiths - God is a Teacher - the goal is knowledge, Enlightenment - which is EARNED, never given. we are not going anywhere - the earth is our home. God made this world, this earth, gave us this life Life is a Gift & Reincarnation says we can have this Gift over and over! But we know life is harsh, difficult and so the life that God gave us is for the Strong, the Warrior, the worker Heaven, obviously is for the weak, the coward and the lazy

Can't believe that even with all our education and intelligence we still think in terms of reward & punishment. Punishment is not Justice, it is Vengeance Some drunk guy drives over your fence or property. The judge gives you 2 options 1. Take your car and drive over his property 2. Have the guy pay for your damage, set things right The first is Vengeance - two wrongs make a right - the uncivilized way of doing things The second is Justice - the civilized way of doing things - the right way that benefits the victim How does torturing a person in hell help his victims? So the likes of Madoff and Hitler are being tortured in hell? So how does that help their victims who are suffering? Those who lost their families, loved ones under Hitler? Those who lost their life savings because of Madoff and had to live in poverty and die an early death? So we see how primitive these ideas of punishment/reward - hell/heaven - are! God cannot deliver Justice to the victims - only vengeance Clearly this God is man-made - these ideas came from primitive people Yet amazingly we blindly believe in them

How is it that few can see that Christians made God in the image of their local King/Dictator? "we must get down on our knees, swear obedience & loyalty(belief), obey only him and no one else, beg for his mercy and hope for a reward(Heaven)" The similarities between this God and the likes of Putin, Saddam, Kim Jong-un are clear to see The supporters of Putin are GIVEN the good life - it is not Earned Heaven of course is not Earned, it is GIVEN to the supporters of this God These supporters of Putin know that the good life will last only as long as the brutal dictator stays in power and so they have raped, tortured and killed anyone who is deemed a threat And religious people have done EXACTLY the same - killed so many in the name of religion, insulting their Master as happened most recently in Bangladesh

What would be the purpose of having any conscious being suffer for all eternity? The purpose of punishment in the first place is to change someone's mind. Hell is a disgusting and irrational ideology that is taught to little children who are then traumatized by it. It also isn't based in reality because libertarian free will is almost certainly an illusion. That doesn't remove accountability to change though. And that's where punishment comes in, a mechanism for change, albeit sometimes a very crude one. Don't you think that even Hitler, after suffering for 1,000 years in hell would have second thoughts about what he did? He may have even had some remorse seeing as he killed himself. And what about psychopaths and sociopaths who have no capacity for empathy and therefore no feeling of good or evil? It's incoherent.

@@etherealstars5766 "I willingly believe that the damned are, in one sense, successful, rebels to the end; that the doors of hell are locked on the INSIDE." - C.S. Lewis

@@MiguelArcangel12 Ah yes, because of course someone would actually choose hell and wickedness over heaven...That's not how evil works. People commit evil acts because their moral compass is broken by extraneous events. For example, a child who chooses to bully because they have an abusive father. It makes them feel powerful. But the child isn't to blame, the father is, because the father broke them.

@@MiguelArcangel12 Let me clarify further. People who commit evil acts aren't denying love. In fact, they're usually the most in need of love and do evil because they have been deprived of it. A robber steals to feed his family. Or perhaps he has become greedy because he has lacked stability in life.

@@etherealstars5766 If I told you to "Go to hell," wouldn't you blame me for saying something reprehensible? But, on what grounds? If I don't have free will and my evil speech is caused by a "broken moral compass caused by extraneous events", on what basis could you say it was evil? It just is, right? I don't believe that you don't believe in free will. If someone shows kindness to your mother, you would thank him. If he spit in her face, you wouldn't do nothing. And, you would do something not just to correct him but do it because he DESERVED it.

Yes exactly. I think the entire intuition for retribution is derived from an incorrect assumption. We project our moral observations onto another person and think "I would never do that! How disgusting" when the other person is incapable of seeing it that way, at least for the moment. Even without free will, the key is holding the other person accountable to change. "Punishment" in various different forms CAN achieve this, but it isn't always the best. For example, punishment likely wouldn't help the murderer who killed due to trauma.

A so limited approach would just ignore the main questions

Frances Bacon gave a philosophical argument for the science you prefer as a method of inquiry. But the inquiry this episode discusses is foundational of the ways people think and believe. Frances Bacon was a Catholiic monk with his life invested in this subject matter.

You can't answer simple questions - tell me, what does one DO in Heaven? Is Heaven one vast Retirement Home? Billions sitting about doing nothing? an idle, lazy, useless and pointless existence for eternity! How does that make any sense?

@@ramaraksha01 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; and had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: on the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

All claim to be true so let’s go with Occam’s razor: if every religion claims to be true probably none of them is. That said: I’m an atheist because I don’t believe in a god for insufficient evidences. It’s quite simple. Peace out ✌️

_"Jesus Christ, the Son..."_ Jesus never existed and the Bible states that he was not God's son (and that God has many sons).

Torture and pain of the flesh(hell) and pleasures of the flesh(heaven) - how we remain primitive in our view of God

@@ramaraksha01 the Bible says Don't fear the one who can kill the body but the one who can kill the body and the soul.

@@ramaraksha01 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 KJV

Once you see that primitive people used their King/Dictator as a template for God - everything becomes crystal clear Don't you see this "God" acting suspiciously like a King/Dictator, a Putin, Saddam? Obey me, swear loyalty only to me and I will reward you - let you stay in my KINGDOM of heaven or else Hell? Simple, primitive ideas of God from simple, primitive people living under Kings/Dictators Amazingly being blindly followed by the best and brightest minds of the 21st century living in free societies! Just amazed at the brainwashing power of religion

@@ramaraksha01 The more our brain evolve positively, the more we realize and find out. I think this century is the braking point for the new generation to give up the victim mentality and take decissions on their own. The change is coming and believing blindly will be a lesson of the past, if evolution goes the right way.

@@owencampbell4947 I am sorry - we live in the 21st century where the top religions Gods are Putins, Saddams - "Get down on your knees, bow to me, tell me you serve only me & I will reward you(Heaven). Or else (Hell)" Simple primitive ideas of God even now being blindly followed and PROMOTED! Intelligent, educated people who believe in democracy and freedom suddenly turn Communists - "believe as we do or else!" Intelligent, educated people thinking Death is some sort of gateway to some magic Retirement Home in the sky, pleasures of the flesh for eternity and the way to get that good life is to make sure we kiss the right butt, polish the right shoes! And are more than willing to look the other way as these religions use threats of hell at those who don't fall for their cheap promises NAZI IDEAS OF HATE & DIVISION PROMOTED OPENLY! What is more frightening is the silence The Media that does not ask questions - What does one DO in Heaven? Do billions just sit around doing nothing? How does that make any sense? What about our families down on earth? Are they suffering, homeless, hungry, sick? NOT ONE ASKS! NOT EVEN ATHEISTS!

@@ramaraksha01 you got it right, but there's no way I guess to change anything for the better. People are not ready to think on their own, to make decisions on their own, to be the owner of their minds, to be free, to be balanced, it might take another 100 years if not a prophet shows up and starts all over again. Dont forget human minds are weak.

@@owencampbell4947 Yes but I see few people speaking up it seems I am the only one asking questions & that is all we need to do Questions like 1. What does one DO in Heaven? Billions get to sit about doing nothing? How does that make any sense? 2. What about our loved ones down on earth? Could they be suffering/starving/sick/homeless? Do we forget about them? 3. What about Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists - are they to be the Jews in the afterlife, set apart based solely on belief & dumped into gas chambers in hell? Are these not human beings with loved ones? Children too? pregnant women too end up in gas chambers? It is this 2nd question that makes these "we will be enjoying all the pleasures of paradise because we kissed the right butt, you should too" people put ants in their pants They get uncomfortable saying they are having a good time while their family is suffering And guess what? NOT ONE MEDIA PERSON WILL ASK SUCH QUESTIONS! NOT THE EDUCATED, NOT THE MORAL AND NOT EVEN THE ATHEIST! Just amazing!

You should be a fiction writer.

Primitive violent and brutal religions with violent Gods made in the image of the Master of the past - the King/Dictator - Master/Slave religion - Master will punish us if we do wrong yet Islamic countries are some of the worst in this planet Treat women like dirt and treat minorities even worse Yet to meet even one person who says he wants to emigrate to an islamic nation

@@ramaraksha01 You expressed your opinion and you are entitled for it.. There is immigration available to Turkey and not many Ms countries offer migration.

Eh? Youre deluded

@@Snuclear problem is you can't prove me to be deluded. Nor can you prove God's word deluded. It's looted full with treasures, and just pleasures, for those who go by the measures of God's word.

Christopher is right. You're deluded!

@@derekallen4568 prove the dilution, and pollution, all I see is fruition and intuition.

_"The way of that learning is through Jesus Christ and the word."_ There is literally no contemporaneous evidence that Jesus ever existed. None.
