Excellent video. I strongly agree that people dehumanise each other based on differing beliefs way too much, and that it would be way better if people agreed to disagree and reppected each other's right to freedom of speech more. I am a firm believer in the quote "I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".
Always love hearing your opinions! Especially as a Muslim and someone who works with law makers/legislators, it’s interesting to hear different perspectives 😌
I appreciate you being willing to listen, especially as a Muslim....and for still accepting me. It would be far more dangerous for me to say these things in strict Muslim nations. I suppose it's one benefit of living in a Christian nation....at least I don't get punished until I'm dead by their religion.😃
@@ASMRReality What i dont understand it now? I don't know if I made a mistake somewhere in English. But with the comment, I wanted to say that I am very glad that based on the comment I wrote, you edited what you said about Japan. (that 98% have no religion)
@@SamuraJCZ555 No your comment was perfect....maybe my reply was not. I was just saying that YES you helped me by correcting me. I truly do want to speak true facts and I do appreciate you letting me know that my fact on Japan was not correct and I corrected it in this video and so glad you noticed! That is why I said you don't have to tell me twice. I listen and then correct! All good, my friend!
Very good video, Derek. Super thought-provoking! Just started to only post ASMR content on my channel with the same goal as you-- to give back to the ASMR community.
Honestly, this may be an unpopular opinion but one I truly stand by. Unless everyone, collectively from each country works together in unity, then it will never, truly be fixed. And I dont believe that will happen. There will always be different sides. Each person is different, in some ways, to the other in views, beliefs, morals etc. So the idea that everyone will come together and all work together is a great idea but one that is very unlikely and unrealistic to me. Throughout history, as far back as we know, humans have fought each other over religion, land, greed, hatred, love etc and still to this very day. I dont think that will EVER change. So personally, I think its best to accept that and to accept that the fate of countries and the fate of the world is simply not in your hands. I think it's best to accept that whatever will happen, will happen. I dont dwell on religion or potential war or the end of the world because I find it a waste of time, I refuse to sit and get worked up about religion or a lack of unity among humans or anything like that because it doesnt matter how I feel about it. As humans the best we can do is spend each day doing as much good in the world as we can, and that's it. If a third world war happens, it happens, if the world ends, it ends, if theres a huge divide and everyone fights each other then unfortunately, that's the way it is. Things like this are FAR bigger than you, me, or everyone who watched this video combined.
Are you familiar with non duality? I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on that. Particularly exploring the idea of nondual awareness, or the state of consciousness that lies in the background of all thoughts, images, perceptions, experience etc. It’s not a “religion” per se but more contemplative in nature, pulling from multiple religious and spiritual traditions from human history.
Great words, Derek. It bugs me that most people don't take the time to think for themselves and look at the bigger picture. I guess it's easier to pick a side and fight the other.
How can you agree with democrats when their policies are anti America, anti family, anti prosperity, anti god. And they’ve dragged the country into hell. 4 years of bad ideas. How is anyone going to agree with them, in all honesty it’s because of liberals that there is any rift between Americans because their ideas are so far away from what makes us American that it’s truly a fight to keep American values or to destroy them.
I think, as odd as it sounds, being as honest as you are is very brave in the world today. Taking your truth and showing the world knowing you will get negative people commenting is hard to do for 90% of social media users. I still hope you find the faith, and also understand the powers that be.
Dude everyone has an opinion in 2024, it isn’t brave to have an opinion anymore. Cancel culture doesn’t work anymore, only in Hollywood but real people are gonna support real people.
4:24 I think that the thing that most separates us from ourselves and from God is sin. And I think that religions agree on that, it's just that everyone considers sin a little different. And that's what I like about Christianity as it only says you don't have to earn heaven. It is God's grace that saves. Ephesians 2:8 James 2:17
Matthew 5:20 sets some pretty harsh limitations on who gets in. Why the religious folk take so much liberty with what might no longer be sin is beyond me. If it was punishable by death in the old testament you can guarantee it is still sin today.

There's an island. I believe called the Senegalese.... Anyway, there's a protection order that no one can there bcs they've been living on their own for decades. A guy felt compelled to bring them the word of God. They killed him when he got too close to their island. After reading about the island i think the guy should have just left them alone. Check it out
Yes, he should have left them alone. This is how I know it's nurture vs nature. We believe what we are told. Mark Twain said it best...."It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled."
I don’t think your religious and or political views are the driving factors in why people watch your videos, with that being said keep up the great content and speak your mind freely!
@@Draig_ASMR??? I gave a verse that shows his view of works based salvation is incorrect. If a source says one thing and someone makes a claim saying that source is saying something different, then that person is wrong. Intellectual honesty gives accurate representations of views.
@@SUPERDUPER_Wingaling You cannot quote the bible as being right... An opinion written in the bible is still an opinion. One Derek does not share. That simple.
I've discovered this channel recently and it really surprised me this mix of reality and asmr. Love the content!
After a long day I really enjoyed hearing you talk about this topic. Thank you very much
Very glad to hear you liked this one!
Love the honesty man. Some people need to hear things they do not want to accept
My absolute fav channel ❤
Now that is a humbling comment coming from someone like you. Thank you so much!
Looking forward to another constant upload streak !! Great video as always
It starts tonight! Stay tuned!
i’ll be watching your videos forever 💯

I usually don't listen to videos like this. I played it for the whispering but I actually really enjoyed it! thank you for your thoughts. 😊
Well thank you for saying that. I enjoy sharing my thoughts the most when I know they are enjoyed!
We love you for who you are. Thank you for being yourself, unapologetically.
Awesome as usual
You are truly one of a kind.
I take that as a compliment!
Love your videos, they're always great! From what you describe, it sounds a lot like your beliefs are agnostic :)
I agree there appears to be a designer aka Creator of the universe. Just don't subscribe to any of the holy books that are out there right now.
I love your videos, even though I don't agree with everything you talk about. But I love listening to your very thought-provoking topics.
Thats the best type of comment I ever get....someone that enjoys listening to all sides of a debate. Most just want to live in an echo chamber.

Man thats the textbook definition of apathy. Can't say you are wrong but I would like to at least say I did what I could.

Never heard of it but will look into it! Appreciate the recommendation...love to learn about new things!

Pretty much....most people don't know why they believe what they do....they simply followed the crowd at chow time.
Man I really love watching these first world problems videos
Yeah, once you are no longer hungry or dodging bullets, it's pretty easy to get to these emotions.
Completely agree 👍🏽. 900 subs away from 10k, if ykyk
Yes sir!
I've never been this early before wow
Getting the party started!

Have you ever heard of the gen z bible? I think this could be a good video idea if you didn’t and would like to react to it!
I should had commented this on the Bible video lol
I have never even heard of it but will check it out!
There's an island. I believe called the Senegalese.... Anyway, there's a protection order that no one can there bcs they've been living on their own for decades.

Hi
My man!
i will say, the democrats elected and making the rules are not the extreme ones, its like less than 10% of the democratic party thats far left
The elected ones are making some crazy decisions like opening the border and releasing criminals without bail. .
did you consider Judaism?
I did but felt like waiting for the first coming was as silly as waiting for the second coming.
Respectfully, you have the wrong view of Christianity. It by Grace through Faith we are saved and these verses point that out clearly Luke 23: 39-43 ❤
Just because his view doesn't align with yours, doesn't make it wrong.
