"If God Exists" -Darkmatter25's newest vid

Darkmatter does it again!
What a great video. Hopefully this will open up some stimulating conversation. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.  RE: "If God Exists" -Darkmatter25's newest vid

Absolutely brilliant! He is a master of his craft
 That sums up brilliantly what a ridiculous notion the Yahweh character is, and how he would actually be a complete moron among potential gods.I've always thought the Abrahamic gods resemble thoughtless, egotistical, tantrum throwing toddlers. Feel free to send me a private message.

I've always found the Abrahamic god to be exquisitely lacking in the imagination department.
  Branching out, huh Rik? Wonderful. If you believe in God and spend time trying to "connect" with him through prayers and/or/ meditation and/or other ritualistic behavior (like possibly yoga, for instance), then you follow a religion. You follow a religion, Rik. Stop acting like your religion isn't a religion.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42) Also, I has a website: www.RedbeardThePink.com 
Love his stuff, should be spread far and wide.

Oh shit i didnt realize you already posted this
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.

If you think there's a God and you do pretty much anything to try connect with it, make friends with it, appease it, or be "more like" it, then you follow a religion. If you think magic exists and you try to learn about and use it, then you follow a religion. If you sincerely try to talk to ghosts, especially using spells or rituals, then you follow a religion. I guess if you want to get technical, religion is the use of symbols, rituals, prayers, or any combination of those things to worship, pay homage to, and/or gain the favor of one or more gods, spirits, and/or magical forces. You, for instance, believe that doing yoga regularly will help connect your mind to an ultimate, Universe-permeating consciousness, do you not? That's religion. I know you think it's just "pure spirituality" and not religion, but it is a consistent fact that people who have religion recognize other people's faiths as religions while steadfastly referring to their own religions as something else. Examples: Christians are commonly heard to say that "Christianity isn't a religion, it's a lifestyle." Bill O'Reilly insisted on national television that Christianity is a philosophy, not a religion. Buddhism is commonly referred to as a philosophy and not a religion (while this may be true for some very isolated branches, many forms of Buddhism recognize gods, spirits, and supernatural realms). Some people think Taoism is a philosophy and not a religion even though it involves contacting ancestor ghosts with magic spells. Doing yoga for exercise and flexibility is not religion. Doing yoga in attempts to connect with invisible universe-brains is religion. Stop acting like your religion isn't a religion.
