What is Atheism? ft.  

Vimoh rationalistic and logical approach is what we need more in India.

Asking if 'Atheism is a Religion' is like asking if being an "Illiterate is a profession"!

Absolutely loved this episode! 🎉

Atheism is like Brotherhood without Banners for the Theists. 😂 It was an interesting conversation. I was initially looking for this video on your Meghnerd channel and I was not previously subscribed to this channel, I didn't receive any notification. But now I am and looking at the other videos, I find the discussions very interesting. Listening to you three was like a brainstorming session. I used to identify myself as gnostic atheist but since last 8 months I am more inclined towards agnostic atheism.

Popular Athiest: 1) Christopher Hitchens 2) Richard Dawkins 3) Ricky Gervais

Atheism being equated to a religion is simply paradoxical, if not funny. On the one hand, religion is a political tool for the systemic control/oppression of the "others." It fully depends, for its existence, on the indoctrination of extraordinary unfalsifiable claims through repetitive mind exercise called spirituality, repetitive tongue exercise called prayers, hymns, songs, and chants, and/or some other practice, all of which are aimed at making gullible people "believe" in (a) supernatural being(s)/spirits/chakras/souls/ghosts/etc. without questioning the enterprise that makes the claim. On the other hand, atheism is a political tool for a liberation from systemic control/oppression facilitated by religions and godmen by means of rejecting their extraordinary unfalsifiable claims and putting the burden of proof on the claimants to present sufficient evidences that can, then, be scientifically evaluated and peer reviewed. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidences. And, I, for one, may acknowledge the existence of (a) god(s) if presented with scientifically verifiable extraordinary evidences proportionate to the weight of the claim. However, even then, let alone following, I won't even give a damn about the supernatural being(s) because I am fully convinced that the "god(s)" in question has one or more or all of the following attributes, making it/them unworthy of being followed: a) is/are powerless to change anything about reality; b) is/are unjust and cruel beyond my level of acceptance; c) is/are not sufficiently intelligent; d) has/have neither looked back nor cared about any creature ever since "the creation"; e) has/have too many inconsistencies in their narratives; f) their storybooks are on many occasions highly questionable; and many more.

Vimoh op vimoh bhaiya real Chad

"...prove that God doesn't exist" is a type of NEGATION. *NEGATIONS* are inherently unprovable claims. It gets even difficult when we talk about abstract concepts like *God* . •For NEGATION to be proved, the definition of such things like God should be defined properly. And then it should be addressed logically. Eg. Lets take definition as "God is Omnipotent all-powerful being" So to address it logically it can be asked... "Can god create a rock that he can't lift?" Logical questions like these can tell you there can't be such being.

Excellent video!! It was a great idea to include a 3rd member (Masoom) in this as well! He made an excellent addition to the stream. Looking forward to any future content ❤️

Atheism: As long as theists fail to demonstrate that their preferred god exists, we see no reason to believe what theists believe.

Mindblowing video, gave me goosebumps at many instances thinking "this is exactly what I thought about this particular point" Also, Masoom clearly is overqualified to just be union leader of audience , great conversation overall! P.S. Atheism is a religion in the same way bald is a hair colour

Masoom's last comment on the ritual event at his house was a brilliant step.

Thanks for this topic. You guys gave me points to throw at "believers" ...keep up the good work.

Loved this podcast

Hippopotamus mata ki jai!!

Is podcast ki growth mast ho rhi hai as comparison to others ivm podcasts

The bhagat Singh put out the same point which masoom pointed out that decision of whether you're an atheist or theist will be decided when you're in your bad phase.

I'm 21, i was where Meghnad sir is currently at at 19. Which means I regarded the power of Universe as God, if big bang created the universe then that was god to me. Now I'm a complete atheist. I think the final string which was holding me back was my personal emotions. Growing up I've read a lot of hinduism stuff and puranas so ig I didn't want it to die. Unless I realized I can still enjoy those stories without having to force fit any term anywhere.

it is to do with dichotomy of sacred and profance.

Damn I enjoyed listening to all the perspectives you bought to the table ❤ just for context i aint a fan of philosophical podcasts .

I no longer call myself atheist, but instead a science literate.

35:30 bro very good point

34:50 what a point 🤣🤣🤣💥

@39:15 Faithful implies good DOES NOT MEAN (NOT) Faithful implies (NOT) good. It just means (NOT) Good implies (NOT) Faithful. These are entirely different statements. For interested readers, I just learnt about contraposition. If you are faithful, you are good; If you are not good, you are not faithful. It has no bearing on whether or not you are good when you are not faithful. Sicne they started talking about logic, I wanted to make sure that they are making logically sound arguments.

Believe and faith are both different things.

It's literally not!

Vimoh's logical points are op level

7:00 absolutely on point😂😂😂

Theist: noun a person who believes in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe. adjective denoting or relating to belief in the existence of a god or gods, specifically of a creator who intervenes in the universe. Atheist: Not a Theist. (The clue is in the name).

3:22 when something is proved you no longer have to believe....then you know it...believer and non believer ride on the same boat just at the opposite ends... enquiry into god is an internal inquiry , it is about realising and knowing

29:15 vimoh is God of atheism

Bring Sanjay Rajaura and Vimoh together and do that in Hindi, same topic. Will love to see that.

See I am an agnostic atheist ..But there is a problem with the argument "prove this only then I will believe"..We often say that math is the language of the universe...And we know in any reasonable mathematical system there will always be true statements that cannot be proved ..(Gödel's Incompleteness theorem) ..So if by our pattern recognition ability we somehow manage to know about the existence of GOD.. Would we ever be able to prove that?

Why this has only 500 likes ??

atheism is religion like TV turned of is also a channel no shoe on foot is also a shoe no clothes on body also a type of clothes

1:21:52 Street epistemology yt channel

No one reacted to masoom's "Koi to bachha banaya hai factory mai"

Masoom’s prep was watching javed akhtar interviews…however still more articulate and contributed to the stream unlike the mess Meghnad is. Meghnad always going “interesting” and “going to ask that” then digresses..as usual. Here for Vimoh

That's why I love Advait , plain philosophy no burden of god

Believing in not believing, so its a religion technically 😂

nciw

📌 Atheism - The people who follow desires over Devine guidance. who need material explanation of Allah who created material. Who's concept about this world and destiny is unclear. Who want to see god in time space and matter which are creation of Allah. Who think no intellectual walked on this planet before them. Who believes in multiverse theories to some extent but deny the concept of eternal life hell and paradise. Who want everything perfect in his life if he follow the god He will see the signs of creator with creation and within himself but still he deny the creator because he cannot see him through his eyes. Who became ignorant overtime due to following the whims of their desires. Who are afraid to accept a concept of God in his life, because if he accept it then he have to live according to his parameters, he have to leave his comfort zone and change his life style. An atheist is a person who don't look into the only true religion because imperialists, socialist and colonialist etc indoctrinated him to believe him into the myths that this true religion is associated with terrorism, backwardness, who suppress women, who kills non-believers wherever they find them, etc - see without even mentioning the name "Islam" you 🫵 unconsciously linked it with islam.

Masoom - 75IQ Meghnad - 85IQ Vimoh - 90IQ Total: Clowns talking.

just understood what @vimoh is short for 😅
