Putting faith in its place

Do we really need FAITH when in fact GOD is consciousness itself.. our very consciousness?

It is where it should be since the beginning.

And that is where, bro?

[josephdc]

I could be wrong, but the author of the video is an agnostic, right? It seems he's saying that we cannot know whether God exists. It seems he's saying that theists, in making their case for theism, is starting from faulty premises. But it's not clear to me what those premises are that are supposed to be faulty.

The point of the video seems to be that it doesn't really matter whether we believe in a God or not, what matters really is how we behave toward each other. I think that's strange because if belief or non-belief in God doesn't really matter, why go through the trouble of trying to demonstrate that belief in God is unreasonable, that belief is unwarranted?

Firstly, I'm not yet forcing anyone on my beliefs but instead encourage them to think and be rational.. If you really believe on something which is really important and it is the bases on your way of life it has to have at least a minute form of evidence to support its truth. Secondly, I'm not condemning anyone if they don't believe on my belief but instead, shared this video which is main point is how we treat each other irregardless of their belief.

But you are trying to convince us that you are right that belief is irrational, right bro?

The answer depends on to whom you are addressing the question.

Where it is right now, is and was the place it was meant to be.

The main point I gather is that its not reasonable to assume to know exactly what is in the box. Yes there are lots of possibilities even some of the God's of religion. But that does not we should assume any particular possibility is in fact what actually is.

Couldn't agree any better

Simple ra kaayo ang message sa video...that we need to "Mind our own business."

trouble arise when they market such FAITHs as business. then you become their business. they will be minding you, in the end.
