Do Atheists Believe in NOTHING? (w/Atheist Derek Lambert) | CURVE CLIPS 

Who cares? You are merely saying you don't know any atheists who live consistently with atheism. Most atheists live inauthentic lives. That's a deficiency of atheism. It doesn't change the fact that atheism (no God) is inescapably Nihilistic by logical force. There is no basis or foundation in REALITY for any real meaning, significance or objective moral realm without God.

My immediate friend circle is mostly atheist/agnostic. 3 of us are filled with life and belief, one of us has already crossed to the dark Barron hole that lies under nihilism.

That’s what I thought nihilism is…I’m an atheist nihilist. Why? Because I say I am. Nothing matters or has meaning inherently, so I make or create meaning and things that “matter.”

Ricky Gervais! Nice.

We only THINK that we rose to the top.

Prove it. It's only different from, say, Hindu mythology because you believe in it.

@@scottplumer3668 No. First, it's not mythology. Second, it makes everything about the human condition make perfect sense Third, the truth of Christ, is evidenced in the way its changed lives. Fir anyone who compare Christianity to other religions and doesn't see the difference, shows that they have very little understanding of any religion. Fifth, the truth if Christ is evidenced in the accomplishment of Christ followers. If you understood the contributions that Christians have made to the world- the first universities, the first hospitals, homes for the poor, etc. you might not be so flip.

@@pdworld3421 The Grateful Dead changed my life. Does that mean that Jerry Garcia is the savior? Of course not. Christianity may have changed your life, and that's great. Good for you. But it's fundamentally no different than any other religion. Other religion's followers take their faith just as seriously as yours. What makes theirs false and yours true? I'm genuinely curious. I understand that churches established the first universities, etc., but that was because they were the big institution that _could_ do that. That doesn't speak to the truth of their theology in any way. You don't have to answer. We could go back and forth on this forever and not get anywhere.

@@scottplumer3668 the Grateful Dead changed your life. Really? In what way? Did you become a better person? Did you become more selfless? More compassionate? Did you give up anything worldly? Did you go qnd feed the poor? Did you suddenly see the least fortunate people, the homeless, the poor in spirit, as worthless than yourself? Did you go into prisons and lift the spirits of the incarcerated because you cared so much for those abandoned by society? I doubt it. When I say, changer lives, I mean changed lives dramatically in a positive and selfless way. Here's what I hear from atheists who's claims that they were religious and becoming atheists made their life's better. "It made me free. I'm no longer responsible to a being larger than myself." In other words- atheists think theor lives are better because, without God, they're able to live a far more selfish life. With Christians, it's completely the other way around and that's the way ots supposed to be.

@@scottplumer3668 what makes Christianity true is that it happened. It explains Everything and it answers every human longing

Humans, and especially we men, are dangerously arrogant. Some of us have come to believe that our ancient myths and folk tales are a true representation of real life.

Why is there anything at all? Some of us are ok with saying we don’t know. We will probably never know. All we know is that we, through all the beliefs and thoughts we have had through the entirety of history is that we make meaning and purpose…

@@kayamann321 I really do not mind admitting that I don't know! It is the only truly honest answer to so many religious questions. Meaning and purpose are what we make of hem.

We have never learnt anything from revelation. We should do for ourselves. Save ourselves save our planet. You can have whatever you imagine at the top and be blind to the men who through medicine and technology allow you life

Is that your official diagnosis, Dr?

@@MP-db9sw judging only from this interview, that would be my diagnosis. I'm not a doctor but I do have a masters in psychology

@@pdworld3421 which should have been more than enough education to understand that you need an actual, clinical assessment before making a diagnosis and that your judgment based on some sht he says in a conversation on a YT video is worth little to nothing.

@@MP-db9sw I wasn't making a diagnosis. As I said, based on interview but it's a pretty long interview and I think it's fair to make a call like that.
