she doesn't know what she is saying

@@adelchidipalma46 Explain.

@@siim605 God is not what those who claim to be of the Christian or other faiths believe. Its a combination of laws which have evolved that have been proven to protect life, freedom and property. Its the supreme Law. God is a guide on how man/woman should behave. Historically it has been proven that when the people live accoring to God's Laws they prosper.

Queen Elizabeth II swore verbally and signed the Coronation Oath, she promised to govern according to the Gospel. In fact, the existing criminal and civil law has evolved from God's Laws. But man has gradually deviated from God's Laws and we have a mess in our hands. The men/women elected to govern Canada have sworn to uphold God's Laws but they have ignored God's Laws. If the people do not like to use the word God then use the International Constitution. God’s Laws are immutable. Meaning they have stood the test of time to work for harmony, justice and peace. Obviously, man has not applied God’s Laws and we have paid a high price. The problem that theology has been corrupted and this is the reason that God’s Laws have been ignored. If you study the colonies of the new world on how the people lived according to God’s Laws and they prospered. When they were compelled by the bankers to pay interests on the loans America began a gradual decline to social degradation. During the colonial times there was no police no courts no judges. If anyone stole something the people would bring the accused to the pastor of the church. The pastor would ask what did he/she do? If robbery the pastor would order restitution as per God’s Laws. If the killing another man/woman was involved, then those who committed this crime would be killed as per God’s Laws. I personally do not agree to this, but there is also forgiveness by the victims’ family. Actually, this is in the American Constitution. The American and Canadian Constitution are based on the Magna Carta of 1215, which is based on God’s Laws. For the greater part after the renaissance interest charges were not allowed it was considered a serious sin and a crime. In fact, even under secular laws interest charges are prohibited. Both Nations Constitution have been ignored and we have had nothing but wars, social degradation, and the rest is well exposed.

@@adelchidipalma46 Did you say "God is a combination of laws"? If so, that's a bizarre definition; can't say I've seen that before. Could you clarify? Do you believe in the Bible?

I think it's a conundrum we never resolve.

Watch “Letting go of God” by Julia Sweeney. It’s an extend version of this ted talk where she goes in great detail. It’s about 2 hrs long and very funny, indeed. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eZ1kYMllv7yRo6c.html

So what's your God now? Science, technology, evolution, the big bang fallacy? You're brain dead to believe any of those lies. If you think your new gods are any better than the God of the Bible you're just burying your head in the sand, hahahaha!

Perhaps my story won't matter to you. But I still feel the need to share. My purpose isn't to brainwash, but to tell the truth. I apologize for the long comment right away. I was an agnostic. Not only that, but a very selfish and stubborn human being. I was convinced everyone owed me something. I relied only on the human intellect and technological advances. I didn't like going to church, and absolutely despised religion. I was certain it manipulates people (Which, in some cases, is, unfortunately, true). I struggled with fears and anger. And so, one day, when I asked myself why I sometimes feel so horrible in life, something incredible happened: I heard His voice in my heart. NOT IN THE EARS, and NOT even in my head, but in my heart. It was incredibly strange, as, you'd think, how can one HEAR with their heart? But, believe me, it really was the case. Had someone told me this before, I'd think it was a case of self-convincing or a mental disorder. At first I got scared, and even angry, but He revealed His plan for me, and helped me get on the right path. I am not claiming to be a perfect person now, but I try to be better every day. I now know I'm not master of the world, and that every single thing we do in this life is done only for the purpose of glorifying the Lord. And the thing is, I never did read the Bible, and yet, after that occurence He revealed things to me that are said there (Like, for example, that we must love God more than our own parents, and that we help others ONLY for the purpose of glorifying His name). But most importantly, when He was revealing all of this to me, I felt INCREDIBLE LOVE AND HAPPINESS. No human could ever love so much, not even a mother her child. It was a feeling that nothing matters besides God. It simply cannot be confused with anything else.Why am I writing all of this? It's because I sincerely wish for you, anyone reading this, to find Him. You don't need to go to church or anywhere else. Simply, before going to sleep, just think very well about your opinion towards spirituality. And talk to Him, even if you don't believe. Talk to Him like you would talk to a friend, even if you think all of this is just a sick person's fantasy. And ask Him to reveal Himself to you. And if you TRULY want it, it will happen. Maybe not immediately, not at that very moment, but it will. Before, I wouldn't have believed it myself. I wouldn't even read this comment. But now, I don't just believe, I KNOW, that everything I used to mock believers about, IS TRUTH, after all. As absurd as it may sound. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. The Bible has NOT been changed. I used to think so, too, but no. Every single word in that book is TRUTH GUARDED BY GOD. I apologize for such a long comment, and wish you all the best.

Be grateful.

no! @@ConservativeAnthem

@@ConservativeAnthem A faith unquestioned is a child's faith. It is only through a crisis of faith that one knows if the beliefs they were taught as a child still hold up for them.

What's to miss...she encourages folks to become atheist. Ted is nothing more than a platform for all things atheist. You won't hear pro-God talks here...why?, there not tolerant. Being raised Roman Catholic she was ignorant of the foundation of Christianity which is the Bible, not Catholic/Pagan traditions and dogma. She's lost, don't follow her.

Exactly what happened with me 😪

God bless her. Just kidding, always been atheist XD

That's a good example of how religion controls behavior through fear. In this case the fear of having to realize you build your life on quicksand. I used to be in a group that associates being friends with outsiders or questioning anything a bad thing that leads "to a dark place". Hence most people stayed within the group. Luckily me and a couple friends were strong enough to escape at great cost

+Dan S: I don't think you've tried hard enough and long enough...

He loves you. You don't need all the ceremonial stuff to connect with God. Just open your heart and mind, and pray that He'll reveal His presence and purpose in your life. I was raised Catholic, and I went through all the ceremonial "rights of passage" stuff. I didn't feel anything either. That's because we don't "earn" our way into Heaven. God's grace is sufficient. Pray, repent, and have faith. It's truly that simple. Once you welcome Him into your life, He'll change your heart and guide you through life.

@@triphop1681 God doesn't exist. the revelation of His presence is manufactured in the unconscious part of your brain.

@@dans5595 -You're entitled to your beliefs, as I'm entitled to mine. I don't argue with others about my faith, that's between me and Jesus. I don't owe anyone an explanation or "proof" either.

Yeah, us old timers know that already. She was on SNL back when it was good.

i was trying to decide if she was stand up comedian or a preacher

*Letting go of reality.* Darwin was spot on when he expressed the "horrid doubt" that minds evolved from lower animals are at all capable of knowing and uttering truth. And so we hear many self-defined, semi-evolved, career atheists like Julia proclaim "atheism is like non stamp collecting is a hobby." Such is the delusional aspirations of deniers who have no idea what scientific naturalism implies. And so they add *"atheism makes no claims* and *"has nothing to prove"* These get-out-of-jail claims imply deniers dont have to think about, let alone explain the consequences of *why there is something and not nothing, * how anything let alone the universe could exist at all, if the past is finite, * infinite regress fallacy _(the impossibility of matter/energy being infinite or eternal)_ *design and fine tuning, _(the rational comprehensibility of the universe)_ * origin and existence the immaterial laws of science _(metaphysical truths dont even exist if mindless matter is the only game in town aka naturalism)_ * the language of abstract mathematics that define those laws, * the 30+ unique physical parameters that make this "rock" life-supporting * the biodiversity and abundance of animal and plant life on earth, * the emergence of a sentient intelligent moral human being who could wonder in awe at the beauty, design, and intelligibility of nature. _(when a lawless, lifeless chaos would be expected on atheism)_ * the endless hours wasted by bored, career atheists trying to glorify apparently, an otherwise meaningless life by mocking God and religion *attacking one Scripture they neither understand nor believe a word of, in support of atheism _(a complete non sequitur)_ *the fact that committed Christian lead happier, healthier, longer and more fulfilling lives * the search for a personal loving God has been the most dominant issue in all human history *the love of a mother for her newborn is what defines human nature _(proving atheism is not the default worldview)_ * the very need to have numerous websites, an abundance of literature, hold conventions, fund raising events, merchandise, prove man cannot live without God who constantly seeks us out to come to him.

I think the “E” stands for education. Or at least it should.😼

Stating "People will ridicule ridiculous ideas " is neither profound, prophetic, nor proof. Otherwise you'd be a scientologist

I always thought she sucked.

It's because of Science, Reality that asks us to question the ideas - there is zip, zero evidence of any supernatural being - the fear of death and the greed for the easy good life to be had if we believe - why believe? Because when asked for evidence religious people have zero and so they closed their ideas to non-believers - kicked them out and once they find enough believers then they could go ahead and kill and mass murder those that questioned them & once that is done, now you have a committed people who will blindly believe whatever you say Why is a "God" insist on belief? Do we ask ants to stop whatever they are doing and grovel to use when we pass by? Do we get offended if strange Dogs bark at us? You can see this insistence on belief is the way out of not having to answer difficult questions - a total lack of evidence is the push for "only if you believe"

Ramaraksha There are many scientists who believe in God and the Bible. Some very famous. “Science” or what is passed off as science (like macro evolution) is not science; is unverifiable like the age of the earth, carbon dating yet is accepted (believed) without question. Scientists that know this keep up the illusion; it’s called lying. No one has any evidence whatsoever that God does not exist. Atheists have much more shaky foundations than the most far out religious nutcase. You hide behind pride in unverified science. Lying anthropologists, speculators, “guessers” of where we came from. “Scientists” who outright lie about DNA. Belief simply because you want to believe it; because you have allies, involving intimidation & bigotry. Evolution? Atheism? You BETTER believe it!

Irene Haralabatos Because people lie cheat and steal and do all other kinds of evil that isn’t prove that God doesn’t exist. In fact it actually supports that he does exist.

So if God is Santa for adults, does that mean God gives us all the good things we have in life like your excited mother wanted to provide for you? I see the parallel It is sad you let your young brain stunt you in your understanding of who God is.
