Thomas Nagel is one of the most significant philosophers of the 20th Century. His paper, "What is It Like to be A Bat" was an important contribution to philosophy of mind and is required reading in classes on the subject. Before you start accusing other people of ignorance, you might try reading a book. YouTube is not a substitute for actual study from original sources.

Now you both sound like quacks. But the fact that you used 'significant' as an adjective to describe a 'philosopher' was enough to convince me you have no fucking clue what the hell you're talking about. Thanks for saving me the trouble. And don't fucking patronize me, asshole, youtube is just the perfect medium for someone at your level. If I read a book it's going to be by someone who bases things on reality, unless I'm looking for popular entertainment. But I'll still be reading something more sophisticated than anything you're promoting.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
