I personally believe that what happens after death is so incomprehensible that no human being has even come up with a theory that's even close to what even actually happens. Therefore, I believe that everybody is actually clueless as to what actually happens after death and we're all going to be completely surprised as to what we actually experience.
Do you realize how HUGE and mysterious the universe is? Why should I think I know everything about it and exactly how it works? I just simply believe the universe is too mysterious for humans to fully understand. We only have so much brain power.
Scientifically I tell myself that there is nothing after death, but I can't seem to accept it. I think that whatever happens isn't something that humans are capable of imagining.
I’m a year late whoops but if this is all there is then the hundredth of a millisecond that we’ve been on the day of earth is inconsequential and the idea of nothing mattering is the idea of lack of eternity so something that seems detrimental such as murdering someone actually doesn’t matter at all because our frail human lives are all for nothing
this type of stuff always makes me think about ghosts and why do people always think ghosts are like people or animals that are dead? Idk why people never ponder about ghosts or "spiritual beings" as another being of life that was put upon this earth like people and animals and it is its own thing but its like germs and we just cant see it but its there. think about it :P
omg I just reached that part and I had to pause it to think about it. The fact that she said "when I don't have deja vu for a little while I get kind of nervous that I'm making bad decisions". That blew my absolute fucking mind and it will forever stick with me from now on.
Laura Garção I don't think it's weird because everyone has different paranormal or cosmic experiences or whatever you call them. It's hard to describe what it feels like, it's like this eerie feeling that you've been somewhere or done something already so it's unsettling because you feel like you're repeating it. But I don't think it's weird that you haven't felt that before
I have died before (I was under anesthesia when I flatlined during a surgery and was resuscitated) and I saw nothing. I didn’t even know it happened until years later when my mom told the story
I cannot get over how good Jenna's eyebrows look- I have to admit, at first I was skeptical but now I'm like lowkey thinking about shaving half my eyebrow off
do it if you want i did it 2 years ago for a while i liked them but its a hassle to draw on everyday and they grow back if you stop shaving it takes like 5 months to completely grow out my eyebrows have been through alot haha
if you naturally have a nice shape don't bother, but if you have fucked up eyebrows you should totally do it. i have sausage eyebrows and shaving the tail off makes them so much easier to draw on.
So when Jenna made the statements about how basically the majority of religions are just waiting for our God/Gods to come back, all I could think of is a dog waiting for their humans to come home. Like different breeds of dogs have more anxiety when their owners leave while others are totally chill about it. I feel like the different religions are just different "breeds" which is why some are so absolutely focused on the God/Gods coming back, meanwhile there's others, myself included that are just like ehhhh whatever, if they come back, that's cool, if not, Imma just keep eating, pooping, and playing with my toys.
To continue on this thought, a dog knows when they did something they weren't supposed to, which is why we have these "rules" about how to live, because we don't want our person to come home and see that we tore up the sofa because then they'll be very angry.
This is late, and it’ll sound ridiculous, but I have daily INSANE panic attacks where I think I’m dying and fear death. This made me feel less insane. Seriously, thanks.
I'm literally so bored,eating rn and I was strolling through RU-vid and saw this and thought to myself "do I really wanna see jenna and sex offender julien talk about afterlife for almost an hour? *jenna voice* Hell yea"
I wish I had friends to have intelligent conversations with. my boyfriend is so good to me but he doesn't entertain these types of conversations. kinda sucks because I love talking about the unknown, space, life after death, conspiracy theories and crazy cool shit like that.
We are made up of atoms, and everything in the universe is made up of atoms as well. I believe that the basics of this concept is how electrons are constantly moving, and a test was done to show that they are moving in multiple different paths all at once. Therefore, because atoms consist of electrons, atoms move with them. This would mean that you and I, along with everything else in the universe (which again is all made of atoms), exists in more places than just right here, right now, in this reality if you will. Where the other versions of our reality's atoms are, no one is sure of. So, the idea is that they exists in alternate/parallel universes. Hope that helped!
It's pretty mind-blowing, I'd recommend looking up quantum mechanics documentaries because it's so hard to explain, especially when it's so hard to understand lol.
As an athiest, I feel completely humbled. I think the job of the human race is to just keep the Earth habitable for future generations and live the best life we can. I think humans are on an equal level with all other animals. I've experimented and tried my best to experience all different kinds of religions as well as read the Bible. I think Christians tend to be very self-centered to think they have all of the answers. It's arrogant to think humans have the answers.
well no, if they are true christians they believe God has all the answers. which in turn, makes sense. Thought Process: God = Creator, which therefore should mean, he has all the answers. pretty logical thinking
I love how everyone in this comment section goes "As an atheist, I feel you've generalized/misrepresented atheism..." But then turn around to go "NO CHRISTIANS ARE THIS WAY"
First point, how do you know what "the best life we can" really means if you don't have a moral compass in which to gauge it on? (i'm being serious, I really want to know what you think about this, not just another Christian trying to convert someone) - if your moral compass comes from laws or your parents, where did that get it from? Who decided that it's wrong to kill someone? If you have no higher power of any kind, then who says anything in particular is wrong? Second point, as a Christian, I am humbled and in awe of the fact that a Creator sought it necessary to bring me, a little sinner, in to His creation and let me live in this beautiful world, able to do as I please. I can then either choose to love Him or not. There are consequences to every action so you know that certain decisions will either be good or bad and therefore lead you toward good or bad things. Sure, good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people but those happen based on other decisions made by other people. I don't pretend to know everything, that is where faith comes in. Honestly, I think it takes even more faith to believe that we appeared out of absolutely nothing after millions of years than to believe an intelligent being, (maybe not my God even though I choose to believe it is God) just decided to create this world and received happiness when His creation loved Him back. It's hard to put in to words what all I mean with such a limited section to write but basically, I know VERY FEW Christians that believe they know all the answers. Faith is what we have to live on. However, I do know several atheists that believe they know for certain that no higher powers exist (how can you be so prideful to believe you know 100% of anything, how can you be so certain???). Who also refuse to have a civil conversation with someone who they think "believes in fairytales" - which is really rude and not humble at all thing to say to someone who just believes differently than they do. There are prideful people in every belief category but one thing a true Christian isn't is a know-it-all.
My moral compass personally comes from my human conscience. I don't know where the conscience comes from but you see it in a lot of species. Many animals feel it is inappropriate to kill their own kind because they care about survival and being a thriving species. Morals could come from evolution. In order for humans to survive, the brain is programmed to function in a way to help other humans, don't kill them, etc. My morals were given to me by my mom, in my opinion, who is an athiest. She was raised athiest and so were her parents and grandparents. They're all very wonderful people who were charitable and kind without religion in their lives. These are just ideas. I have no clue if I'm correct. That's just a more reasonable answer to me. I see man-made religion as a hindrance to science, that's why I won't be teaching my children about it. If they, or anyone else I know, make an educated decision to become religious in any way, I will not stop or judge them. I will, however, become offended if they try and indoctrinate anyone else or tell anyone else that their religion is better than what someone else might believe. I will never have all the answers, and I'm okay with that. I do have morals, and do strive to be a good person every day.
"I feel like if I don't have those moments of like nexplainable cosmic interaction or some weird, bizar universe stuff I feel like I'm disconnecting from a higher self. Like I'm getting too caught in my matrix." Jenna that is so fucking interesting. This will forever stick with me.
this podcast fucked me up as soon as I saw the title. My dog is fighting for his life right now after being poisoned and odds you talking about death and afterlife... fuck, I'm fucked up. In the midst of me writing this comment my vet called me and told me I can take him home. WHAT THE FUCK. Please pray for his recovery fam :(
Ilona Takácsová praying for your fur baby 😭someone poisoned my dog Bandit a couple years ago and luckily he pulled thru. I will understand that shit, those people are actual satan
I know this video is a bit old but I just wanna say something. my beloved mama passed away in december 2016 and she never believed in life after death, she always was like „no, after that theres nothing, everythings just black“ anyways, about two weeks before her passing she told me that something weird happened, she fell half asleep on the couch and suddenly felt a hand stroke over her head. she woke up immediatly and thought „oh that surely was a fly or something“ but then she said to me „no, no I am absolutely sure it was a loving hand that stroke over my head“ (I truly think it was her dad) now, if you believe it or not, she gives me huge signs that she is there, like there is no doubt that she is by my side. the point is- even if she did not believe in life after death she had a „spiritual“ experience and she clearly does everything to let me know that she is still there. energy does not die, I think we will just kinda „take a step to the side“ not far away, not up in heaven, not down to hell we just stay here but run on another frequency, not as a person but as the soul and the energy that we are. ♥️
I agree with this. My dad died when i was younger and there were just so many signs that he was present. Little things would happen that were clearly him showing his presence, and I could just feel it. I also believe in mediums, and I think they are communicating with that energy from another space.
AGuyCalledDis it’s not critical thinking? There’s no conclusion to be made from logical thinking - there is no conclusion. This is the same thing as someone saying that critical thinking would prove that any god doesn’t exist, which is also bullshit. You can’t prove anything or specifically** disprove anything, so we’re here in a space of not having the truth. You’re acting like you must be the smartest human on earth for “critical thinking” your way into not believing in anything. That = being a self-important asshole
AGuyCalledDis you don’t know what happened to this women, do not assume it was because she was tired, just because you don’t believe in something like this doesn’t mean you can comment something so rude on someone’s comment about their mothers death. Disgusting, if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say it. Disrespectful.
I know exactly what you mean about signs!! The day my mother died I went outside to cry and a ladybug landed on me and chilled for an hour+. Since then I have encountered a ladybug EVERY single time I vist her grave, the day both of my daughter's were born, the day I was almost in an accident.. there have been so many instances that there is no way it could possibly be coincidence. Ive even been just thinking about her and BOOM, lady bug lands on my face.. Multiple times I've been in a place where no bug should be able to access, any time of year, yet there one is! I was cleaning out her things from her house and found one in her sealed wedding veil. I thought it was probably dead, but nope! I had to rip it open to save it.. I take pics of the ladybugs because I don't want people to think I'm crazy lol I'm not hallucinating them!
I just had to pause the video to say I never associated atheists with thinking they are the highest beings. I would consider myself an atheist.. Yet I definitely believe in intelligent life forms on other plants, in other galaxies etc.
A LOT of atheist bloggers & content creators on youtube are like that. I've met a bunch like that in school as well. They tend to be very vocal, and sometimes overshadow the cool, rational atheists I've known.
pinooot-noir oh I know there's a lot of shitty atheists that just insult anyone who thinks differently then them, but the not believing in aliens thing I've never heard of
This topic is an odd coincidence since I'm just getting home from a funeral. Thanks for always making my day guys, especially on a day like this ❤️ I love you both.
Personally I believe there is nothing after life, so I just stop existing, the end. I understand that there are people that will be like 'nothing matters!!!' but to me that makes life all the more worth it, that makes my actions and influences on other people worth it, because you'd want the only life you have to be the best thing you could possibly make it, and you'd want other people's only lives to be great too. But I'd be cool with the 'everyone gets the afterlife they believe in' theory too.
I'm really down with Jenna's interpretations of deja vu! I tend to approach those things scientifically but it's really cool to think about it that way.
I totally agree! In my view, if the only think that motivates you to be a good person is the fear of punishment after death, you're not a good person. Plain, and simple.
I'd consider myself to be very solidly Christian, but this was so interesting to listen to. I'm certainly not offended. While I don't buy into many of these theories, it's still so interesting to see what people think happens. Ultimately, even if you believe in God like I do, you don't really know what heaven is like or what really truly happens when you die. Speculating is fun and really interesting.
Elisabeth Heine I appreciate Christians and other people with different beliefs that don’t judge speculation and different ideas even if you are confident in your own beliefs. There are many religious people who scorn others with different ideas and beliefs, but I’m glad there are people like who who are open minded to others who believe differently
phandoms 2713 hello just saw this comment. I do have actual dreams about real life events. For me it's different than deja-vu. I'll have these dreams and they don't make sense to me and I forget about them, but then like 5 years later I'll be in a specific moment of my life and everything will line up and then I'm hit with the memory of my dream just for that split second. It's never anything significant just stupid moments in my life but it happens all the time. Like I said I also have deja-vu and for me it's very different.
This podcast is really cool! More with a deep theme/topic like this please! Some Ideas: Are people born good/bad or neither? What is love/does true (romantic) love exist? Is eating animals wrong? How would you distribute wealth in the world if you could had total control? How do we determine if something is morally wrong?
Here's my theory on what happens when you die: We all have a "happy place". A place that we want to go to more than anywhere else. We all have people we want to go there with, as well, or maybe we don't. My theory is that when we die, we go to that place. For instance, if your happy place is the park in your town, you would be there when you die. It would be beautiful weather, you would be with whoever you wanted to be with, or if you wanted, you would be alone. You would go to the place that you are the happiest in, and for the rest of eternity, you're there. You never get sick of it. You never get bored. You never get upset with anyone you're with. It's just a happy place. There's no hell, there's no chance that you'll go somewhere bad. You just get to be happy for the rest of eternity.
Just to give context to some atheists' beliefs, I'm an atheist, and I don't think that humans are the best thing ever. In fact, they're no better or worse than any other thing that exists. Humans aren't more special or better than other types of creatures, which is part of the reason I don't think that there was a higher power who made the world for people. Of course, I don't know this for sure. Just my take on it! I know I'm playing with fire when I comment about belief systems on RU-vid, of all places, just wanted to clarify that an atheist's personal beliefs may be as varied among their peers as any branch of religion.
I agree. I was never under that impression either. Like yes maybe SOME atheists believe that, but it could go the same way for Christians or anyone else.
People usually don't get offended at atheists because most people are. People get pissed off at Christians. There are so many accounts of peoples near death experiences on youtube. They all seem to be slightly different but generally the same. Too many people have experiences for an afterlife to be completely discounted.
Lynne Dumas I agree with you. For me a thing that turned me off of other religions is the certainty that they have. In my brain it seems ridiculous to believe that this one thing is correct and created the universe because in the grand scheme of things we could just be a speck. The audacity of thinking that we know the origins of the universe or that somehow we worship its creator just boggles my mind.
Well there is only one truth. Do you believe the universe and everything in it was created by intelligent design? Or do you believe that we all came to be from randomness and chaos, and that we don't have a purpose? Those are the two broad categories of belief
I don't think being an atheist is being narcissistic, you can still believe in beings that are "better"/more evolved than you. I for sure believe in life on other planets, they are probably way more advanced than us. Just not a higher power.
I also think that believing you have to answer to a higher power after you die doesn't make you a better person. If the reason you are being a good person is because you're afraid of the repercussions after your death, you're not really a good person to begin with.
+marios But I think what most of us are saying is that it's just not an atheistic idea at all. That humans are superior or whatever... that's like the opposite of the atheistic position. Not even the loud/obnoxious atheists she seems to be referring to would believe that. It's a fundamentally antithetical view for any atheist to hold. Doesn't make sense.
Jill Jackson I totally agree with everything your saying as an atheist myself, and I've never thought about your second point but that makes so much sense, so like you want to do horrible things but you won't because what about god?? That doesn't really make a good person, thank you for putting that into perspective in my head
Alright you know when you randomly get those cringes of embarrassments from when you did something stupid *what if that’s one of the universes doing that exact thing right then and that’s why you randomly think about it*
Jenna you're talking about purpose and karma and types of rewards and accomplishments, but if the universe is so huge and we are only micro particles that are just riding along inside, why would we have a purpose? Why, in the grand scheme of things, why would the universe care if we helped other microparticles in our tiny lifetime (70~80 years is absolutely nothing compared to universe's timeline)? Rewards and appreciations are very human concepts, I would argue that thinking that something good will happen because you're nice or something bad will happen if you're evil is narcissistic and very specific to human consciousness. I think that would explain why so many cultures have the concepts of rewards and punishment in the afterlife because humans naturally expect actions to have consequences and would not want to think the evil people would receive no consequences when they pass away. My question is this; why would the universe care about human actions and why does the universe and our lives themselves have to have a purpose? Just leaving my thoughts love you guys x
Agreed, also when at the end she says that if people have been experiencing similar things and have similar belief systems that must mean there has to be truth to it, I think that says more about how the human brain interprets its surroundings rather than proves anything about the universe.
So, what if, the experience of deja vu is telling you that you need to change something instead of confirming that you're on track? The whole deja vu theory states that you have already lived that experience so maybe you were brought back for a "re-do" of sorts? What if that's your sign to say, hey man 👋🏻 turn this way instead. Jenna, I think you're super insightful and it just got me thinking that there could be two sides to your deja vu theory!
Chantell It's weird; whenever I get déjà vu I continue doing whatever it was that happened in the deja vu, and carry it out, so to speak. I always get major anxiety when I reach the end of the deja vu experience and I continue on with "normal" life once more. As if I was supposed to say or do something else at the end of it, or if I'm on the wrong path. But there's no knowing because the deja vu has to end eventually, right? You can't possibly know if you're doing what you were supposed to do at that transition.
I always feel this way! Sometimes I know what I’m “supposed” to do or already did, and I can follow or change the path. I also know when I was meant to experience deja vu but it didn’t happen right and I miss it. It almost feels like being on the wrong train track or something.
Sometime I get deja vu with a feeling if uneasiness that tells me something bad will happen if I speak up or something but then I spend too long contemplating it that I dont do anything and the bad thing doesnt happen
Amanda Raubach YES omg. Like ghost stories, weird shit that's happened to them that they can't explain. Maybe some stories from family members and friends. I bet Rome believes in ghosts. Australians 😒😒
No, that’s when you can’t understand or even think or begin to think or understand any one else’s position other than your own. The inability to differentiate between “self” and “other”
I'm atheist and I feel like you need to make choices for your own sake, not out of fear of being punished after death. I think that people who are only good out of the fear of hell are kind of terrifying. I'm good because I'm good. When I die, I believe that my body decomposes and that's it. Consciousness isn't energy. It's a brain function. Nothing gets transferred. I also don't believe that there is a god, but I certainly believe that aliens are insanely likely due to the size of the universe. Also, just because I don't agree with you two doesn't mean anything about how much I love your podcast and videos. I listen to these in the background all day! :)
oh my god nooo the theory about how everyone is only a figment of your world and parts of the world only show up when you need them to fucked me up cuz i have a problem with realizing people are real and i often feel like everythings all in my head AND THAT MADE ME THINK WAY TOO FAR INTO IT I DONT LIKE THAT
JennaMarbles:DDDDD jenna please address the fact that the mind likes to trick itself and we can't trust our brains 100% of the time! also will we ever get another carcast???
JennaMarbles can we pleeeease get your guys' thoughts on astral travel/astral projection and more conspiracy theories PLEEEEEASE i beg of you. once i learned about astral travel, it literally changed my life. i would love for you both to learn about it even if you don't so a podcast about it.
I'm the same way Jenna, if I don't see double digits "11:11, 10:10, or parking space 00, apartment 22, etc." I feel like I'm off my path. When I see those things on a regular basis I feel I'm on the right path. I could be driving and worried about a choice I have to make & see the license plate in front of me and it has a double or triple digit number or letter I feel a sense of relief.
max knight no its not , christians believe that Christ is above all . That's why she said that because they done believe in Christ so they believe humans are the highest being
But Atheists believe that since every being is composed of cells, there is no way of ranking organisms like that. Every animal has brain cells but every animal functions in a different way.
Christianity believes humans are the top of any organism on the planet, only inferior to God/Christ, because according to their scripture humans were made in God's image. That's why we've believed for so long that we're superior to all other animals and have the natural right to control and own them. So max knight was headed in the right direction, but just didn't word it quite right. Of course, many (not all) atheists believe the same thing, but use evolution and culture as their justification rather than religion. It's just as problematic, because it can prevent us from seeing certain parts of the world as accurately as we could. It's held back our understanding of animal culture and language for decades, for example, by preventing us from even realizing those things may exist in the first place.
I was told that the reason dejavu happens is because our souls were created first and they experienced everything, and our physical body is just reliving everything.
I was told that we have dejavu because there are parallel universes and whenever you and your alternate you live something at the same time, you get dejavu... perhaps your alternate you also feels that sense but you don't know it because you're in this universe. Personally, I think it's just the long term memory in your brain remembering a similar experience and fills in the rest to be exactly like what is happening at that moment. Why don't we get dejavu every time we brush our teeth even though we do that everyday / some people two times a day? Because it has nothing to do with our long term memory, this is a habit / routine... but if we drive down a road you don't believe you've ever been on then experience dejavu, it's like your long term memory remembers a road with trees covering a certain way just like that one, or a gravel road, etc. then the other parts of your brain are like "oh yeah, I remember this -- except that, I don't remember that tree being there but let's flip it in the memory to mirror this one because we think this might be the same road" -- kind of like a glitch but not like the one in the matrix lol. we're all entitled to be crazy and this is one way my brain understands dejavu
Jenna: Sending people off in a Viking ship, lighting it on fire with an bow'n'arrow into the ocean. Julien: Well no, Me: That's what we did for my nana's funeral.😂😂 Not even lying
why would not believing in something that's never been proven be selfish? I don't think atheists think that they're the higher and the best there is, it's not about that. I don't think that we're alone in the universe but I also don't believe in anything spiritually higher. aren't those two different things? also I think religious people are more prone to believing that we're the best and the only thing there is. I think you may have a wrong idea about atheism. atheists also don't think life is meaningless in general, I wonder where you got that from. hope this message wasn't mean because I absolutely LOVE this podcast.
I agree to certain extent, but what their basically saying is that it's ridiculous to look at this universe and not believe that there is something bigger than us as human beings. I actually used to be an atheist, so I get that what their saying sounds strange, but I don't think they meant it as you think they did. (I copied another person's comment because what that person said is how I feel)
I 100% agree with your comment. I love this podcast and respect Jenna and Julien SO much, but I want to reiterate the point that atheism is more about not knowing and not accepting something as true with the lack of evidence. I think I speak for most atheists when I say, I don't believe that humans are "the highest being" in existence, I think that's a huge misunderstanding. We understand that we're a speck on a speck of a planet in a vast, infinite universe(s) and we're very much irrelevant in the grand scope of things. That being said, we don't think life is meaningless, of course there's meaning, we create meaning in our lives every day (whether that's through personal goals or by following religious doctrine or whatever). We just don't know/ don't have any scientific evidence as of now, of a "higher being" as described by the religious texts we currently know (like the Iliad &Odyssey, Bible, Quran, etc). Now this is just my thoughts personally, but I believe there are other "beings" in existence other than us because the universe is infinite therefore it would be ridiculous to think that we're the only planet with life (we just haven't developed the technology to contact these species). I just have an issue with the assertion that there IS, 100%, a higher being (emphasis on "higher") that is responsible for creating the universe and life, because we just don't know. It's not a fact, it may be proven one day, or it may not. I don't have any problem with people believing whatever they want to believe in, everyone has that right, but it should not be accepted as a fact until it is experimentally proven.
100% agree. And I would argue it's FAR more narcissistic to think we as humans have souls that are SO important they must continue to exist in some other form or realm even after our bodies have decayed. Why are we different from any other collection of atoms? (we're not)
Jenna, Julien. I wanted to say sorry lol. I was the one who was tweeting at Rome and DM'ing you Julien and now I feel so bad, but your eyebrows turned out damn fucking lit!
Pretty late to the game here but i don't know a single atheist (including myself) that thinks humans are the universe's greatest creation..............
I've met one in my whole existence. He was.... weird lol I'm an atheist too though and so are the vast majority of my friends and family and none of us have the same beliefs when it comes to life and the afterlife.
I'm confused. How does being an atheist correlate to the fact that an atheist thinks they are the pinnacle of evolution in the known universe? From my understanding, and I consider myself an atheist, that we don't believe that there is a "intelligent design" to the universe by a "supreme being." I believe in evolution and that, by chance, I evolved as a human being. I believe there is just one shot and then I will just be matter. However, that doesn't mean that I don't strive to be myself, to help my fellow man and animals. My morals are not decided by an external source but by my own internal drive. I want to learn, explore and know all I can *because* I believe this is my only chance to do that. Why would that immediately equate to "screw others" mentality? I just think that may be a bad logic leap.
I totally agree. The start of this podcast really annoyed me because I think they actually misunderstood what athiesm is. Personally, I think people who don't believe in a God are more likely to see every living thing as equal and the afterlife isn't the same as believing in aliens 😂 like what? People see athiesm as cynical and that kinda hurts my feelings because I think it's the most wholesome and open minded. We don't believe we're gonna be punished for disobeying a certain set of rules for a start, and you're right, it makes us want to cherish our only chance at life. Ugh it makes me mad the way some people look at it!!! 😂
The more I watch Jenna the more I understand why she is so comforting. Our personalities and beliefs are very similar. I also believe in synchronicity and seeking enlightenment. Love and light on your path Jenna. Im very stressed often and your presence keeps me peaceful :)
It is very possible to be an atheist an still know the importance of being a decent human being. They were making it sound like all atheists don't care about their life and their actions because they don't think it will matter in the end. And I don't think u should live your life strictly based on how u want to be treated in the after life. You should do your best to be the person u want to be that hopefully positively affects those around u.
As an atheist I agree with this. I very strongly believe all people should behave ethically, and we dont need fear motovation to know right from wrong. Im not afraid of hell because i dont believe it exists... because of this I have murdered the exact amount of people I have ever wanted to in my life... which is zero! And I dont know any atheist who think that people are the top of the top and that we are the universes greatest creation. I dont think im any better then other species on earth or potentioally off of earth. I was offended by this podcast.
Jenna said in the next podcast after this, that she did not mean to say atheist or to offend anyone. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--34asPToFQQ.html
I was scrolling to find a comment like this before I made my own! I don't think Jenna intended to express that all or even most atheists are amoral, but it is a good point for the sake of argument that you should want to be kind to those around you and do what feels right FOR YOUR FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS, not just for a mysterious higher power or out of fear, as you said. It would make sense for religions to use fear mongering in centuries past to get people to abide by rules of society (and not murder each other!) when there was a lot less widespread education.
Atheism is more against the idea that humans are peak.... atheists usually believe in aliens exist out there and evolution etc What you were talking about Jenna, is much more like extremely religious beliefs...
xxXSpectrumXxx nah, atheists just don’t believe in a supreme being that controls us, that doesn’t stop us from believing in aliens that could be out there living like us.
BucketDwarf no, because religion usually admits that we are sinners, minuscule, that there is a higher power or multiple higher powers, that control or conduct our lives. That’s not at all what Jenna was talking about.
@@amnaajaib9126 yea, I think that might be agnostic. Only because lots of theories entertain the idea that aliens are more powerful than us making them a higher power. Most atheists believe in the big bang theory and stuff like that where no one created them but they just came to be through evolution or something else.
This is actually insane that I came across this podcast just now. I have never heard anyone in my life say what Jenna said about whatever someone truly believes actually happening to them after they die. It’s something I’ve thought about & I’m typically the one to bring it up to people so the fact that you said that actually gave me goosebumps. I absolutely love conversations like these because I feel like most people are so close minded to the beliefs they were brought up by, that they don’t like to think of other scenarios, because it’s uncomfortable for them to listen to anything else. It’s just important to remember that anything is truly possible because none of us know what it’s like until our day actually comes. Thank you guys.
I love everyone getting all offended in the comments. Jenna and Julien literally said they did not mean to offend anyone. So everyone just chill. No one is out to get you. Put on your adult pants and welcome yourself to the real world where people can express their own opinions without trying to knock other people down.
Just a friendly reminder, people do have a right to be offended even if someone says they don't mean to offend you. just as an example, most sentences starting with "No offence, but..." are offensive and saying that doesn't mean that you're now not allowed to be offended!
Bunnybananabunny innit , I'm not offended by anything there saying because there not personally talking to me but i do think some of there ideas especially about atheism are totally ridiculous, just because you put no offence at the start of a sentence it doesn't make it not offensive
Natalie Moore I don't think most people are offended just trying to state their case on why Atheist aren't like what they said. Just expressing their opinion like an adult.
@20:00 I’m honestly crying right now while Jenna explains how if she doesn’t get deja vu for a minute she feels like she’s disconnecting with a higher self - this year has been one of the hardest years ever and I didn’t have deja vu hardly through it at all. I’ve been making some changes and soon I’ll move away from the home and 3 jobs I’ve lost myself in, and just hearing her speak that is just talking to my soul right now. Ty dink fam love y’all forever
Jenna, hearing you talk about deja vu, self realization and connecting with your higher self just made me understand why I love you so much. The world needs more people like you! 💜
I'm so scared of what happens when you die. And I can't stand to think of the people I care about being stuck somewhere unpleasant forever. When I think of anything happening to my daughter or my boyfriend, I'm instantly on the verge of a panic attack. I'm also terrified of being stuck in a box for all of eternity, like being buried and being aware of just being stuck.
I'm a proud Christian! Say anything you want in the comments about it, but I'm proud to wear a cross around my neck!! And I respect all genders, sexualities, and religions! I do not judge some one bc of their skin! I think everyone is great and deserves to be treated fairly!
It truly believe we watch over our loved ones bc my grandma died last year and I remembered this red bird that she loved and it was a cardinal. I see that bird around once it was by my house and I immediately thought of her. I believe that she sends that specific bird out to watch over my family and I. My dad has the same thing when his sister died he would get dreams of her telling him to have a safe trip or special occasions he believes she is looking after him. But u know that's just what I think so believe in whatever u want and I'll respect it
im pretty sure it's called "The Egg" because (SPOILER) in the end God tells you that you'll be the next god, hence 'Egg' because you're yet to hatch into God
my favourite theory on life is that your soul has a purpose to learn and understand everything so your lives depend on what you want to experience, hence the belief everything happens for a reason. so accepting the things that happen and learning from it etc. and when you déjà vu it’s your soul remembering its plan for that life (meaning when you have it, you’re on the right path because it’s in the plan). my personal fave take on it, going with the flow and trying to understand the happenings.
It's like there's always a new podcast up when I need it the most! Amazing. (..Probably I just have standardized shitty mondays like everyone else but still) Genius!!
I wanna add that it's probably called an egg because it has always been a symbol of something new that can hatch into anything (a chicken, a snake, a dragon, depends on your preferences), just like that one person who is, and can be anyone!
I've always had such a deep, intrinsic feeling that I have been here longer than my actual lifespan. Like I have been since the beginning of time and I will continue to be after my death. I know that sound wild asf but I can't shake that thought.
Oh my fucking god, Jenna, I've always said I kinda believe that too that whatever you believe effects what happens when you die. I kinda think that whatever belief you have and what ways you feel you should live your life are just right for you, even tho it may NIGHT be right for someone else. And I think whenever you believe that a certain thing is going to happen when you die, that's what happens because it's your belief. I don't think everyone is supposed to believe the exact same way. I've said that to people before tho and they are like "that's fucking stupid" so I'm so glad another people thinks like me.
My biggest fear though is having everyone I love die before me, and me being alone in the end. My brother is three years younger than me but it might so happen that he dies first because men's life spans are shorter than women's. And if my husband dies before me I'll never be able to sleep in peace. Yikes I just don't want to get old but that's incredibly childish and stupid :/
Jane Shen I know I’m 2 years late with this comment but... There’s this quote that really helps me with loss: “how lucky am I to have something that’s this hard to say goodbye to.” I think it’s from Dr. Suess but it helps me focus on appreciating what I have before it’s gone and realize that death/loss is just a part of life. If you’re still feeling the same way I hope this helped you :)
This is my biggest fear as well!!! My grandmother lost her mom and dad, husband, friend, and daughter (my mom) all within 15 years. I'm the only family she has left and seeing how lonely and depressed she is.. even with me spending time with her.. it terrifies me.😔 I'm not scared of dying.. just scared of dying last.
I love that Julian brought up the fact that American Horror Story painted a picture of it. Since I was very little that's how I picture hell. Even the detail of the witch having to dissect a frog ...was so deep to me😖
im an atheist but i dont think the human species is the best thing. we are just animals that instead of claws and incredible strength we have intelligence. there should be extraterrestrial life, its just not probable that there isnt. and lastly when we die we die thats it.
Thank you. I dont think we are the best. If anything I see humans as any other animal. If anything religion the chosen human who were meant to rule all other animals that is selfish. Humans are as alive and animal as a bug or snake. Atheist doesnt mean human is number one. It means there is no god we are all animals and when we die so be it. Ive never met an atheist who thought that way.
I think that when you die, you get sent to another planet either in this universe or in another universe, where everyone there is people that have around the same personality. So it's people that like you for you and people that you like for them.
