LOL! No doubt one of the "Christian" ones. Did you see her colleagues lapping it up when she was promoting the book on the Today Show? It was sickening.
It displays weakness of character. "Intellectual suicide", Albert Camus describes. However, I'm a firm believer in belief. It's a placebo that works (sometimes)... and if it helps, well...that's it's justification. Until, it starts to harm. What is shocking to me is how there is a serious discussion about "Santa Claus", and it's just simply accepted. It makes anyone sound insane. And yet they persist in pride and joy, completely oblivious.
Throughout history, religion has been responsible for a large proportion of the suffering in the world - yet religious beliefs are based on ancient myths and legends that should have been discarded centuries ago. "If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities" -- Voltaire (1694-1778)
That's because free will is so fundamentally important. Imagine a world where God just walked around on the surface of the planet, 500 feet tall, glowing brightly, and issuing dictates and condemning sinners or whatever. Well, there's pretty much no way to NOT believe in that entity, right? As an analogy, imagine if you were in a relationship with someone because they enslaved you and brainwashed you, not because you chose to love each other. Well, why would God want that sort of thing from us? So, it's not that the evidence does not exist, it's that it MUST be very subtle to afford people like yourself the opportunity to choose not to believe. If someone sincerely wants to find that evidence, it is readily presented to them. At this point in my journey, that evidence is no longer subtle. But I did have to earn it, to take the first steps in faith in order to be directed to it. (But for the record, personally, I believe that God isn't that bothered by us not believing. We come to Earth to have experiences, and one of the things on the menu of experiences that people can choose here is Separation, exploring what it means to live an atheistic existence. So basically, just lean into your choices. But for anyone who does wonder, yes, the evidence is there to be mined if you seek it.)
??? AN atheist just GIVES attributes to their own made up "god" and then they say that the "god" that they made up DOESN'T exist . ALL religions do the SAME thing, but they say that the "god" that they made up DOES exist . I guess ants want to know stuff too., but whatever works for you or religious people. 😊
@@stephanielight4161Uh, no, we don't "make up" a god just so we can then say it doesn't exist. We say, we have no evidence to suggest that gods do exist. I would add to that and say, I don't need to think a god exists because doing so gives me no help or comfort. I function perfectly well in the world due to the way I was raised, my education, and experience. I don't need to invoke a supernatural entity to help me out.
@@jameswheeler5260 If “evidence” is something that you can only experience personally, which is all I can gather from your description, it is belief not evidence.
Oh God. Can we please stop talking about God? You can’t turn on the TV without someone needing to talk about their faith like it makes them special. Less God delusion and egotism and more humility and compassion would go a long way to making America great. Period.
Thank YOU! Yes, the Christian nationalists are just squealing with joy with every new believer that comes out. Mark Wahlberg too! Keep it to yourselves, people. You should be ashamed, not proud.
You begin to see God in all things when your heart is humble enough to have gratitude for what you've got. This was a great interview and it seems like a great weekend book by the fireplace 📖
No? Have you not read any of these other comments? 😄 I read a lot of them, usually find at least one that says exactly what I was thinking and" like "it. Seems satisfying to see those numbers rise instead of reading the same thing over... I feel your frustration tho. 🕊
@@Paislywalls4767 I guess I meant no one in person. Of course, it would be silly to expect Colbert to do that. It's the one thing I don't love about him.
I mean, she admits as much when she says some believe in a scary god of laws and judgement while she believes that he's a god of love. In that moment she admits that she just made up the god she wants to be hers. Ergo, imaginary friend.
Colbert is indoctrinated as all Catholics are from childhood. Many of us recognise this and become atheists. He needs to develop the courage to do the same . Until then he has no credibility as Ricky Gervais exposed when he was on the show.
Fair enough, but she's promoting religion and people are eating it up. Religion is already seeping into areas of society where it HAS NO BUSINESS-- namely laws and women's bodies. Believe all the supernatural sh*t you want, but keep it in its place. Thanks.
Firstly, we don't know of ourselves. How can one write about a notion still being debated? Also, what authority or knowledge does she have to write about God.
God's love? Seriously? If he exists, you know he is sadistic, lacking, not caring, incompetent, and/or a mix of some of these. Go around the world and compare your comfortable American life to other people, and their god/s. Everyone has their silly beliefs and is sure his way is right. Look at human history, god isn't really there. So, really, god is only your own imagination. But if you believe in him, you can only ignore the bad parts to actually believe he is good or nice.
SO YOU'RE DEFINITELY ONE OF THE SADISTIC BOHEMIAN GROVE MEMBERS OR WORSHIPERS RIGHT???!!! GOT IT! JUST SHHH.... WHEN YOU KNOW NOTHING THEN DO NOT SPEAK. 😇🤲🙏✨💫❤
God is something you can't see, can't touch, and can't prove. You can only believe. The reason people believe there is a God, because, they want someone more power to help them when they're hopeless, when they're desperate, when they have nobody to help them, ect...
I've bought her book but haven't had time to read it yet. But she's so sincere in this interview that I'm going to bump it to the top of my reading list. Related... I belong to the United Methodist Church, and we see God as loving us not scolding us too.
Performative religiosity-- can I use that? Love it! I don't know if he was uncomfortable since he's pretty religious too. Getting sick of all these celebs coming out lately spewing this crap. Have you seen Mark Wahlberg?
So many of the comments in here are SO hostile, it's unbelievable. I do not think that Savannah Guthrie is a brilliant theologian, but why the hate? You either believe it or you don't.
i find incredibly fascinating that this channel has so few views that the developers of the show will probably read this. that says a lot about your views.
Mostly what God does is nothing. In fact, entirely what God does is nothing. That's one of the reasons I've never been convinced that there is such a being.
Yep, you mentioned that we live in a world the invites "cynicism and despair" and judging from the comments below, yes, hahahha, this is very evident. But you're totally right, God loves us despite all of our mistakes. And there is so much evil in the world that so many pple can't see beyond this. But God created man, and gave us free will, so yes, unfortunately, there will be evil in this world. But despite all the terrible wars in the world, there is still WAY MORE good than there is evil. And some of us choose to have faith in God and also faith in one another. If you don't believe that, that's definitely your prerogative, but no need crapping on people who do.
I need to move on. If theres not something for me to do professionally related to whatever this was, i will need answers about why i was forced into a silo filled with no info, altered books, abuse, exploitation, no compensation for value, no privacy and no choice.
I will need to get answers about the agreements to do these things bc it seems dangerous, unethical, a possible attempt to erase me and possibly illegal.
Why are her thoughts and beliefs about religion of more value than those of any other random person? As she said she' s no theologist nor scholar on the subject. I didn't see any interest in this interview. For those of us who don't share Colbert's (religous) belief system, (which for me has as much truth as if he were talking about wizards and dragons), it can be totally alienating when he goes into his beliefs (and the BOOK) as if it's THE TRUTH. He is mostly thoughtful and aware of other's (including the audience)'s possible thoughts, but here his own personal collection of beliefs, spoken about as iron-clad truth are alienating for some of us, no doubt. I found it interesting one time when he affirmed that he has faith in a poetic and articulate way, and it's place in his own life, but really - not when it' takes up too much space. Of course he is free to practice whatever and not be ashamed of that, nor be secret about it. But when they get together in front of us and banter about it together (excluding us who don't join in choosing their particular group of beliefs) I naturally feel I have no place listening. Their GIVENS are nothing for me. I certain hope this direction is not the one that is cultivated. His show looks like it is searching for itself since his previous show runner left, and post-writers strike, when things have been reshuffled and are still landing. If we are hungry for witnessing complicit religious banter I'm sure there are plenty of others podcasts etc, that one can turn to.
I love this show and my first language is not English, though I am fairly fluent. As for GOD loving all of us. My question would be does GOD love us all equally and does GOD love Trump as much as he loves Savannah Guthrie or stephen Colbert.
Unfortunately, Christopher Hitchens is no longer around to comment but if anyone could drop Stephen Fry a line, he would certainly have a word or two to say about that "god" guy they are talking about...
It's not important for anyone to accept God or not. If you wanna have a faith in the absence of the divine, that's cool. If you want to have faith in the divine, that's cool too. I find it interesting how frustrated and closed off people can be regarding others beliefs. If you're atheist, that's your belief. I find it perplexing and rigid to be be over critical of theist, but it's fine. If you believe in a specific faith as I do, but then are intolerant to other faiths, I find that perplexing and rigid too. Hmmm, I see some commonality bw atheist and theist......I wonder if there are some commonalities with other things like ascribing to one political party and the like? Could there be a common theme here? I don't know, maybe I'm just being too rigid and intolerant to those who like to be rigid and intolerant.....
It is totally beyond my understanding that seemingly intelligent people can still believe in a god. If you can close your mind to all the sh#t that happens in people's lives, maybe it is understandable but then you are fooling yourself.
I've always admired Savannah but this is a line for me. There is no god and this is not a time for your country to be diving deeper into more superstition when science and facts are so important right now.
Somebody wrote a book about themselves, and what they believe, which is of very little interest to anyone else, but they've got a profile, and a show, so possibly money can be made.
I think of Guthrie and Colbert as enlightened people, so I’m a bit surprised how quickly they use the male pronoun for God (though I understand SG using it in relation to spooning.). In a lot of ways, ‘they’ seems like the best pronoun to me for a divine being…
What? Because you didn't know she was religious? So, now you feel better about your own beliefs because this "important" lady feels the same way? As widely recorded in the Gospels, Jesus reserved his harshest rhetoric for those who practiced their righteousness for public applause and sought to impose their narrow beliefs on others. She's not a treasure, she's using her beliefs to sell books. She's already a multi-millionaire, she could have just left it alone. But, no, she's getting all kinds of praise and encouragement. It's sickening. Keep religion out of our laws and out of women's bodies-- and off of our talk shows. Thanks.
Oh great another book of fiction. Your 'God's are Invisible men? in the sky. 🤦🏻♂️ Why not write a book about Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, or Tinkerbell?
Can she please talk without the vocal frye?! I know all the young people do it, wanting to be like Paris Hilton, but it drives the listener to tears. Please make it stop, God!
That's really funny. Paris Hilton is in her 40s. "Young people" probably haven't been wanting to be like Paris Hilton for about 15 to 20 years. It's a distinct possibility that many actual young people don't even know who she is.

Wow, It's amazing how the comments show meanness and intolerance. If you don't believe why tear others down. Don't we have enough of that. Humankind high jacked religion to suit it's own purposes. There are only the basic tenets of kindness, compassion, love one another that count. Isn't that what is best for humanity regardless of belief.
It's the parallels of privilege and worship that bother me. God loves them! But they are the lucky ones.... who see proof of God in their own success. Hmmm
It is so sad that nobody explained to Savannah how audio works and that you should not have noisy metal crap on your person in an interview. She needs an adult in her life to help her make much better choices.
Beautiful Madam; Beautiful, Madam. Contrary to belief .. trump did [NOT] write the good book. Nor does he preach nor teach it. God is not (at all) necessarily a person. God is "in" what we see, hear, read, process, and/or communicate around us. God is Beauty. God is Empathy. God is Love, Dance, and Music. God is Intellegence. God is Also Dog spelled backwards.. Lol.
I can respect her devotion to her pretend friend. I never knew she was a thumper. She doesn't wear it on her sleeve or beat people over the head with her fantasy.
"It's for sale"
That joke deserves some serious flowers 👏 👏 👏
Yes. She's a quick wit. That was really funny!

i'm sure she's a nice enough person. she's no jane pauley that's for sure.
Thank God that her talking and segment was absolutely saved by Tim Blake Nelson. I could not watch her and shut her off.
Savannah was great in Solaris, and her first book "God created Scandinavia" is amazing
Oh great another book of fiction.
Your 'God's are Invisible men? in the sky. 🤦🏻♂️
Why not write a book about Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, or Tinkerbell?

He loves you .... or else.
what an awful religion.
Another lovely interview!
Can she please talk without the vocal frye?! I know all the young people do it, wanting to be like Paris Hilton, but it drives the listener to tears. Please make it stop, God!
That's really funny. Paris Hilton is in her 40s. "Young people" probably haven't been wanting to be like Paris Hilton for about 15 to 20 years. It's a distinct possibility that many actual young people don't even know who she is.
@@neekondrums You'd be wrong on that. That's who started it and that's how long it's been going on. I hear you're one of 'em...so you pick me out of the comments...yeah, you're one of those.
@@nancymorton5636 Yes, ma'am. You found me out. Word on the street is accurate.
I am totally one of them. One of those. I shall run off to my TikToks now to giggle and dance.
Best wishes to you in all your future endeavors.
@@neekondrums Yes! Wonderful. Be careful, tho, out in that Tik Tok world, they say the Chinese are spying on us or stealing or??some nefarious thing. Just be careful of voicing your opinion in certain circles. I am not into tech myself, but have a giggle and a dance for me while you're there...2 of the very best things in life. Peace!
Wow, It's amazing how the comments show meanness and intolerance. If you don't believe why tear others down. Don't we have enough of that. Humankind high jacked religion to suit it's own purposes. There are only the basic tenets of kindness, compassion, love one another that count. Isn't that what is best for humanity regardless of belief.
It's the parallels of privilege and worship that bother me. God loves them! But they are the lucky ones.... who see proof of God in their own success. Hmmm
ALL/ONE:ONE/ALL!☯️
Using god to sell a worthless book smh. Amerikkka
I can't think of anyone more out of touch, except for Hoda Cotbe.😮
What if I fart😂
There is no god.
Certainly there is no proof. :o)
Oops, misspelled that third word there. Let me help, it's one. 😘
I'm glad you got your imaginary friend list down to one. Maybe with more therapy you'll get better@@stephanieprobst923
@@stephanieprobst923 You don’t make sense. Wasted too much time praying instead of thinking.
@@The_Cyberz she makes perfect sense
An unfortunate number of bigots in this comment section. "Progressive" is, apparently, very much in the eye of the beholder.
Where's the bigotry?
It is so sad that nobody explained to Savannah how audio works and that you should not have noisy metal crap on your person in an interview. She needs an adult in her life to help her make much better choices.
There is but one god and her name is Nincassi
Abrahamism is a blight upon humanity 😢
Beautiful Madam; Beautiful, Madam. Contrary to belief .. trump did [NOT] write the good book. Nor does he preach nor teach it. God is not (at all) necessarily a person. God is "in" what we see, hear, read, process, and/or communicate around us.
God is Beauty. God is Empathy. God is Love, Dance, and Music. God is Intellegence. God is Also Dog spelled backwards.. Lol.
god doesn't exist, weirdo
Savannah Guthrie is marrying Kevin & Sammi
0:12 to those who don’t know….trump isn’t the only politician that’s sold bibles. Carter and LBJ have as well…but you won’t hear that.
Anyone else loves her
Don't know her, personally, but her belief in the supernatural sky daddy sure makes me want to keep my distance.
Sooooooooooo sick of religion.
missed her pretty toes
"I don't wanna spoon with God. What if I _fart?"_
You think he won't understand? You think God never has gas? Where do you think _propane_ comes from?

Partisan TOOL complicit in Genocide.
when god made us hypocrittes
I can respect her devotion to her pretend friend. I never knew she was a thumper. She doesn't wear it on her sleeve or beat people over the head with her fantasy.
