Wow. My distant cousin. That branch of the Feuerbach family produced some notable minds. There was a famous painter and a Bavarian legal scholar on this branch of the Feurerbachs all within 3 generations of each other.
Please give this lady a quiet environment, library in the back and a designer lounge chair, to explain her knowledge and intellectual perspectives, otherwise I can't take her seriously
I don't know what it is like in the UK, but in Australia I would have to say that it is the Christians I have met that have the biggest xenophobic streaks, due to people of other religions coming into our "christian nation".
There's got to be more to this man than this. It sounds like an idea that a stoner would have: "hey man, you know, we are all, like, projecting our ideals into these gods man ..." proceeds to take puff and scratch buttcheeks
Thank you for your presentation. I have a question (for anyone who'd like to answer). How does believing in an all-knowing God fulfil the human need to be all knowing? By projecting such attributes onto God we are not endowing ourselves with such attributes. Thanks
Your question is rhetorical. :P The only way I see it relating to this presentation and Feuerbach is that you are confusing the individual with the set of all individuals ("collective conscience"), and need with desire ( the ideal the set of all individuals aspires too) . To summarise the claim is: All knowledge is possible, not to an individual, but for the group of all individuals - some day. God is the representation of what we, as a species, hope to be someday.
+sgt7 The issue is not the attributes themselves being endowed on humanity, it is humanity's need for an omnipotent all knowing source of reference. "The Essence of Christianity" deconstructs the central tenets of the faith and shows that it all can be explained in terms of wishful thinking.
Yes for a atheist it's great to see religion like a anthropologist. But when a believer thinks that his religion is a intrinsic part of his being, even before he calls himself human, Feuerbach will feel like a personal attack and won't be adequate to convince believers of the fact that there is no God. The only way to convince someone is by negative persuasion. Sayin that they need it. If someone says to you "I believe in god" just reply by saying; Of course people like you need it to be true! Thats the best way in my opinion to make them think.
Feuerbach is a German and takes a more dialectical thinker Too bad he did not study eastern thought because the centrality of the human is the hallmark of eastern thinking

Does your family have any of his extant writings or works? Very cool.
Mankind can be inmortal , not the single human bean!

Brilliant man, feuerbach was.
This is almost all waffling around the subject, to the extent that what Feuerbach was saying is almost entirely absent!!

Like that in the Uk and U.s
Well said ; good video.

There is, but in the same way there isn’t.
The pathetic thing is that the way you describe it's how it actually happens.
St. Paul's Cathedral, yay! very nice video.

Its definitely aspirational. I can see how it influenced thinkers like Marx.. that one day we could be like one hive mind.
Excellent and insightful.
what type of thinker was he??
A materialist.
Philosophical realist, rationalist ans skepticist. A hybrid of all 3

Olger "People like you"? And by that you mean?
Arrogant! Great thinkers are humble! ..saying :people like you is just impolite

The consequences are always devastating
You say it because you are a believer.
