So much pain and suffering could be saved if we would just scrape the fetus out when we can.
But I really liked the music in the video!
For better or worse, we are not born individuals, we are born at members of The Tribe – and there are many; family, neighborhood, religious, national etc. etc.
All of human psychology is trying to develop into an individual from all of this. Some never do. It is a painful thing too to say to your tribe “Guess what I am not really like you.” But is is necessary.
This is a very interesting video. I don’t consider myself to be an atheist nor do I consider myself agnostic. I believe in God, but not in the sense that organized religion believes in God. Organized religion is a scare-tactic thousands of years in the making; it was simply a means (and still is a means) of keeping and maintaining control over the masses. Do I still pray? Yes, I do…and will continue to do so. Does that make me a religious zealot? No, it does not. For those of you who consider yourselves to be true atheists, I neither condone nor condemn your beliefs. After all, who am I to judge an individual’s opinions or personal convictions? I have enough to worry about in my own life, so I certainly don’t feel the need to burden myself unnecessarily with whether or not someone doesn’t share my personal beliefs. Even though I believe there is a God, I still believe in evolution and the scientific explanations for the creation of Earth and all of its inhabitants, both human and otherwise. Should it turn out that there really is no God, then I don’t feel I will be any worse off for having believed. I’m sure there will be those who don’t agree with my comments, and that is fine; we will agree to disagree agreeably with no argument. Honestly, I’m glad that not everyone believes as I do. Otherwise, the world would be too fucking boring…LOLOL.
well done and very thought provoking.
do you ever think a believer who viewed this video would ever really think about it…even for a moment?
