One of the most strongly held convictions by believers is that there can be no moral life without belief in god. What is amazing to me is that on average atheists care so much more than christian believers about how we leave the planet behind for the next generations. Christian (un)logic seems to be who cares about the environment, I've got god.
Bollocks - there is no obligation for atheists to even be 'moral' people. Under atheism it is a free-for-all and you can do whatever you want - there is no 'right' or 'wrong' way to live.
Christians may not be the greatest stewards of the planet, that's true, and it's probably because they're more concerned about other things, but no, it's not "Christian (un)logic" that determines whether someone cares about the planet or not, that's determined by class and wealth National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) wrote a paper titled "Income, Wealth, and Environmental Inequality in the United States" that explores this concept if you like but you should intuitively understand that if you're super broke and struggling, you've got other things to worry about than the oxygen and carbon levels of the atmosphere If you're serious about preserving the planet for future generations, then you should concern yourself with eliminating poverty everywhere because only in the absence of poverty can a person give a damn about the oxygen and carbon levels of the atmosphere
The reason for their uncaring approach to the planet is they fully believe in the end times, end of the world and "a new heaven and new earth" that is promised in their scriptures. Why do they care what happens to this world when they are promised a new one?
I might consider what you are saying as being true if the people being “true” atheists had not been brought up in proximity (in home, neighborhood, community, country) to be influenced by the teachings on of Christianity on morality as to what it is -be as moral as the best representatives of Christianity.
@markwarne5049 Jesus also said God knows what you want before you ask. He was implying that we should not say the same things over and over as the pagans do. Then taught us the lords prayer. Which basically says " thy will be done " I guess my good health is not in his will.. That's all I can figure.
@@RobertGraziose the Lord does care about us even though we can still be stricken by bad health but we only passing through earth heaven is our home but we have to follow Jesus and believe in him to get to heaven 🙏
The way that you can laugh at yourself, at other believers, at what evangelicals believe... is your brand. If we can't laugh at what we used to believe and how it controlled us, we would surely cry!
I remember being scared to death as a child fearing the judgment day. My strict fundamentalist religion required baptism for salvation (no sprinkling, total immersion). The reason I was baptized as a boy was because I didn’t want to go to hell. I was kicked out of my church when I came out as gay. I have been an atheist for a few years but I will never tell my family. My parents are gone, but my two sisters are still in the church we were raised in. They have lived a life of constant fear, so afraid they won’t make it to heaven. I love your videos!
I am so sorry you aren't able to be your authentic self with your sisters. Maybe one day your sisters will tell you that they realize what they've been taught is nonsense. In the meanwhile, I hope you have a loving family of your own choosing who can truly know and love you for exactly who you are. Sending you love from this stranger on the internet.
Thank you for your kind words! My husband and I have been together twenty years. He was raised in the Episcopal church and still believes in God. However, he accepts my atheism and doesn’t judge or condemn me. I’m so much happier as an atheist. I know longer judge people and I have no fear of hell. Life is good!
Timmy, I was having such a rough day after the election and your video really cheered me up! Thanks for being here and making content, it helps so much!
You only get humans playing Deputy Gods and demandihg changes in your behavior not reflection on environmental factors, material possessions and clear thinking. Praise the healing imaginary friend Jose
Great video. So many gems. So many memories from my youth going to church as a child came back. 1. My mother raised my older brother and I going to a church in Maryland called Our Lady of Sorrows. I didn't complain even though I was too young for it to make any sense to me, because after church we would go to the House of Pancakes. That was my incentive for going to church and not saying anything. 2. Oh, another memory flashed back. Sometimes I would accompany my mother when she went grocery shopping. Just me and my mother. At one point, before we approached the checkout line, my mother would grab the Sunday newspaper and a copy of Vogue magazine. She would slip the Vogue magazine inside the Sunday paper. So, when we checked out, she was only charged for the groceries and the Sunday paper. I've never asked her about it. I've never judged her for it, even to her directly. But, it's a real memory. 3. The whole "Jesus died for your sins" was a concept that never stuck with me. When I first heard it, I was like, "huh?". How does someone's death 2,000 years ago have anything to do with me? Much less have anything to with my choices. 4. Thousands of people die every year from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, disease, famine, cancer, etc. If God created the Earth, he did a terrible job. And if God created us, why do our teeth rot so quickly? Why don't our teeth last our whole life? 5. Why give us a short life on this planet, a life we actually know about, and promise an eternal life AFTER this one? Why not give us a long life to begin with, and end it IF we actually do something evil or wrong against others? 6. Supposedly, Jeffrey Dahmer repented and converted to Christianity in prison before being killed by an inmate. Are we to believe he's in Heaven now? Try telling that to the families of his victims. I could go on. But, I just have to read the Bible to see what a monster God is portrayed as.
I had a conversation in college with a Christian friend. She was drinking and having premarital sex. She said she knew it was a sin but she could just ask forgiveness later. That never sat right with me.
I wish it were true so I could ask GAWD-UH why he doesn't drop mana from heaven for the 10 THOUSAND children who die of starvation DAILY. This is basically a religion of the PRIVILEGED.
@@scaraboo3624 I've read that hogwash cover to cover thanks to my childhood brainwashing with the TOXIC bs. And the answer is there is no God. Certainly no threemale monster who endorses slavery misogyny and homophobia like the one in the Bible.
Yeah. He'll help suburban Americans score touchdowns during school football games, but starving Ethiopian children can't have a couple measly Ritz crackers fall from the clouds.
I appreciate your ability to laugh out loud at your previously held beliefs. I went through an eight year deconstruction process in which I was stuck in the ‘angry atheist’ phase. I was totally outraged that I had been lied to and resented the lost opportunities and real harm that a devotion to a lie had produced. I was also angry that I had been made to believe ludicrous things by being continuously exposed to childhood indoctrination. When I would have occasion to recall the ludicrous beliefs that I once held factual and dear I could feel the anger and resentment rise up. Your example has helped me over this hurtle and guided me to the realization that religious lies have less power over you when you treat them in the manner that they deserve - ridicule. Laughing at yourself for believing the ridiculous is disarming and allows you/one to place religious superstition in its proper place and completely robs it of the power it has over you. That’s exactly what I was looking for. A method of disarming the power that religious lies had over me. I had come to realize that religious myths (lies) had complete power over me when I was a believer. It guided my behavior, thought, politics, guilt, and view of the world. But I also came to realize that religious myths STILL had power over me in the form of resentment, anger, and disgust. Laughter at the ridiculous helps me disarm these emotions and put them in their proper place.
Up until a year ago when I finally threw in the towel on religion, I lived in fear. Fear that something I said or did was a sin or unpleasing to god. Fear that my current life was too selfish and self-centered because I have food to eat and a roof over my head. Fear that I was going to give in to some kind of temptation and have to account for it in front of the big throne in the sky. Now that I have decided I'll never be good enough anyway and let myself see that it's all a fantasy story anyway, I feel SO much better. Your videos lay it on the line and I really enjoy them and learn from them. Thank you, Timmy!
My parents were the most moral, honest, kind, forgiving people on the planet and neither of them was religious. Three quarters of Christians are mostly scared of going to hell and about a quarter of them are fundamentally immoral people (scared, too - and feeling really guilty) for whom religion is a front - based upon my experience in church as an adult. Religion is a cover, for a certain percentage of people who are predisposed to seriously bad behaviour (lying, cheating, thieving, etc.). The message I got from my parents, absent any kooky religion, was that kindness and decency were there own rewards. My parents were fundamentally good people - they didn't need religion to try to fool anybody, they weren't sitting around fearing hell, and they didn't view these odd mythologies as "history". I got wrangled into going to an evangelical church wife as an adult (by an ex wife) and, man, what a weird experience. There's not a shred of evidence that anything in the Christian Bible is true beyond some very basic philosophies about kindness, forgiveness, etc. - which in my world is just common sense, anyway. How does anybody believe this stuff? Religion is a big racket, too.
It's the exact reason why so many folks are getting conned over fake love, investment, bitcoin or whatever scams out there. People are always gullible, greedy, risk-averse, fearful or over emotional, so play into any of these is more than enough to bait them to believe any kind of bs crap they are being told regardless of ridiculous they sound
Hey Timmy, I have to sincerely give you thanks for your videos. Grew up in a pretty devout household and when I was around 18 I started getting more and more "evangelical" in my beliefs. I shipped out to USMC boot camp right around then, did a bunch of training, tried to convert my then ex fiancée, and eventually deployed. I was at such a state when I was overseas I even tried to convert the locals into Christianity. After a few rough patches and some pretty nasty stuff, i started questioning my entire thought process and where I really fit into things. After coming across your stuff, it's really helped me reflect on my past better, and crystallize my thoughts. I Kind of see now that yes, I was an ass, and it's OK to not have those strong religious beliefs any more. Now I help volunteer around my community not because "I'll get judged after I die" but rather out of a genuine want to help those around me. Embracing my more agnostic side has seriously helped my mental health, so again, thanks for helping me along this journey. If You ever find yourself in the Chattanooga area, ill treat you for a beer. Cheers.
But neither is there any judge to vindicate all the women through the centuries who have suffered so much in abusive marriages (often justified by Christianity.)
Nothing but praise and adoration to you my friend for your courage to speak actual truth. When a person's reasoning ability becomes controlled by religious beliefs, then they are unable to reason objectively and therefore become willing to believe anything without evidence. You are a beautiful person.
Timmy, your videos and specifically your talk with Seth Andrews really helped me on my deconstruction journey. Best wishes, keep up the great work you do ❤
God would need to start by judging himself. He needs to ask himself why he allows suffering. I know Christians have spent a lot of time defending God in this area and they stay on guard 24 hours a day for it.
You always have me laughing out loud, seriously big belly laughs 😆I laughed so much during this one, thank you. Asinine is my favorite word to use! Thank you so much for your videos, it makes me feel a lot less alone and proud that I'm able to think for myself and see through all the garbage. I'm agnostic and I respect everyone's beliefs, but I find more peace in not knowing and being open than trying to find all the goofy answers and being afraid. Just be kind everyone 💛
@@laurengracehb Thank you Lauren! I watched the video this morning, I always watch when it first comes out 😂🤦🏼♂️ I was in rare form for this one! Ha ha more to come. And seriously, thank you for watching, laughing and feeling encouraged! It’s why I tell my story, to hopefully add to the conversation. Much love!
does anyone else a s a newly deconverted or deconverting Christian still the feeling Timmy is mocking god for a second before they again realize he's right? Is this normal as a new deconverter?
Great stuff, Timmy. Heard about you through Seth Andrews. Even after years of atheism, I still need my daily dose of atheist content. It's like keeping up with my covid shots because, you know, there's still a shit-ton of religious virus out there!
I’m not afraid of being judged by a supreme being…not because I’ve lived an exemplary perfect life, because I certainly haven’t. I’ve done things that I’m not proud of, but by the same token, I’ve done many things that I’m proud of…but at the end of it all, I’m not afraid of being judged because I’m just a human being living, being and doing all the “normal” things that most other“normal thinking” human beings are doing.
9:35 Great point! What happened to “let him who is without sin, cast the first stone?” If was held to his own standards he wouldn’t be allowed to judge us for anything.
I have absolutely no problem standing before God. I have Loved and been abused by disrespectful people who loved the world more than they loved God. He Will Give me His Blessing. 😊❤
Check out some of the info on the Recovering From Religion website. There are a lot of great resources on there for people who are struggling to dump the fears that have been drilled into them.
That’s the way I think believe if you want to if you don’t, then don’t it just seems funny to me how believers and non believers want to argue back-and-forth. Who cares
Read that book years ago. I don’t remember but I would guess it would be something like 1. Not being true to oneself 2. Missing out on kid stuff when they are little 3. Not being a better friend, daughter, spouse, parent. I need to go back and reread 😮😮 it’s important to know know before it’s too late 😢
I came from the same background, I enjoy your videos. Mine was AOG & Pentecostal Holiness- (Trinitarian), & I was a deacon & played guitar in the praise & worship band, & jail ministry, and I believed in HELL, - THANK GOD-( whom or whatever God is) I left that Hell based religion.
That's right! Why is there an accounting in front of an all knowing God at the end? So that we will feel bad, feel sad, feel the punishment??? At the end, there is no more point to anything. I agree, it is all fear leading up to the end.
And here you are spamming an atheist’s page with your trolling bullshit. We have no savior. You believe in a fairytale brother. So sad you worship a man so hated women and taught hate. It’s sick
This is absolutely hilarious. Your parody is spot on! The ironic thing is that the lack of accountability for admins on the Street Epistemology Discord and other Social media group is what destroyed it. This is the exact mentality of people who say, "Only god can judge me." I remember thinking and maybe replying, "Sorry sweetie, so can 12 of your peers." But that might just be in my own head beecause social anxiety.
On a side note; I'm curious as to what "old geezer George with the southern drawl" looks like - he's been on so much lately and makes me laugh every time, so it makes me wonder 😄... Great content again Timmy! 👌
Believers emphasize the whole "saved by faith" thing. NOT what Jesus said. "The gates of heaven are narrow; work hard to get in". The faith thing is a PAUL thing...a Pharisee who SUPPOSEDLY had a vision on a trip. No way to prove it. And SO much of the modern Christian belief system shouldn't even be labeled that. Most current believers should be called Paulians instead, because they take WAY more from his supposed writings than the supposed words of Jesus.
Yes. Jesus taught the same as The Buddha but in different genre. Christians idol worship him as per Paul. Christianity isn't a way of life for many. In the hands of the current GOP, it's a total behavioral excuse. Q. How do you know a Christian doesn't understand the Bible? A. Because they're a Christian. Bada boom.
If there is a place we all will go, everyone will be there. Or, there is nothing. The Father's Well tells me this. All is welcome as is and accepted as is to access to the well. No one is to be turned away.
I always enjoy your videos. It takes time to get over the fear, guilt & shame (heavy yoke) of Christianity. People get a heavier burden not lighter from this man made control dogma
Boy, I totally "get" what you are saying!! 👍👍👍👍 I was born into a loving Christian home..but my fam does stand by the gospel "belief" that people that haven't accepted Jesus as their Savior in their ❤ are going to Hell. And, you are preachin it right when you say that Evangelicals believe wholeheartedly that you can live a despicable life here on earth and still go to Heaven in the end as long as you "Ask Jesus in your heart" It just is ridiculous because it's not even common sense justice. It makes a lot more sense to believe a perfect God would reward you for doing good than rather just believing that someone else's death paid for your sins like a get out of jail free card. It is ludicrous and unacceptable to me that a Christian would assume that someone like a serial killer who gave his heart to Jesus before he dies would be gifted Heaven over Anne Frank or Gandhi? 🤨🤨
Hilarious you crack me up to Timmy! Keep up thee good work. I do wonder about Karma though. Says something to the effect in the Vedas, “like the fragrance of flowers in the wind so does our karma leave with our spirit when we die“
You are fired up today. Givin' me goosebumps. I felt the lack of a Holy Spirit in the lack of my soul! BTW, must be the rapture didn't happen last night, or else the Christians commenting here AREN'T TRUE CHRISTIANS.
2 of my biggest issues was, and sometimes still is, the "armor" of god and our mind, how he AND THE DEVIL can just be in there talking and messing around. Yeah, no. My mind is my SAFE PLACE, no one can hear me in there. The armor of god made me have to prepare to go out in to the world, it still gives me pause, like I have to get ready to face people or even "principalities" SIGH. Just reminded of the last thing, demons and angels just waging war everywhere around us but we can't see them. I blame Perretti. lol EDIT: The sea of forgetfulness! AAAhhhhhhh
DAMN! So if we can’t listen to AC/DC, Motley Crüe, or Def Leppard, then I am SURELY screwed for listening to Behemoth, Celtic Frost, or….gulp…KING DIAMOND!!!! EEEEEK!!!! 😂😂😂 Excellent video, sir. Lifelong non-believer, metalhead, and all around nice guy here. I never needed the threat of hell or the promise of Heaven to do right by people. Keep up the good work.
You are only deceiving yourself. God will never be put on trail. He is Holy, Righteous, and Just in all that He does. You are the one who will stand and then fall prostrate before the Lord Jesus Christ to give an account for all the things you did in your life. The only "awful" behaviour is your sinful nature that condems you currently and puts you under the wrath of God. (John 3:18 & 3:36) God's judgment is always righteous. "The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever." (Psalm 119:160) For God can not lie. (Titus 1:2 & Hebrews 6:18a) You desperately need Jesus to save and rescue YOU from all your sin. He is ever so faithful !
@@christophergibson7155 I don't believe your silly book of ancient Jewish fables. What a stupid conception of God, to think that all he cares about is human misbehavior. Oh poor God, the whole balance of his perfect universe is spoiled because I touched my willy last night......what a joke.
What would I say to “god” if there is one come judgment day? I’d say the same thing that was found carved on a prison wall in a concentration camp cell during WWII by a Prisoner: “If there is a god, he will have to beg my forgiveness.”
Why would you have to have a final judgement if you have repented all your life? The whole lamb of God thing and accepting that wasn't enough that you have to still go through a judgement?
One minute in and I already have a big smile on my face ... You are so good. man ! I however do believe in weather manipulation, Timmy, haha. Whoever is going to judge me for that.... Go ahead. Haha.... And yes I gave hundreds of records to a friend, because I did believe that music was keeping me from God. Regret it now, haha. One record was titled 'Thank God it's Friday'. The title alone I felt was blasphemous. Oh dear.
Ahahah dude shush. You sincerely believe that because you’re brainwashed. It was originally Judaism and they didn’t believe in heaven or hell at all. Christians made it up. You don’t even know the history about your own religion. Your threats don’t scare us, because we don’t believe in this bullshit anymore. We realized how dumb and false It is. There is no Jesus that loves someone so much. You just take it face value without any research or Actual deconstruction. You’re biased in your own belief. Your Jesus and god are not real. And it’s so frustrating to hear this basic thing Christian’s say “I’ll pray for you To come back blah blah” . That’s the most common bs saying from Christian’s. Like we don’t believe in your bs, so that saying isn’t going to sway us
Hi Timmy. I love your videos, they are so helpful. I still identify as a Christian, but as I continue in my painful deconstruction, it is unlikely that I will be a Christian much longer. My question - as an agnostic, is a funeral necessary upon death? Asking for a friend. lol.
Romans 6:12-14 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Im in most ways an atheist but i also lean heavily towards pantheism and my view on "god" is that its not conscious in the same way as humans, if its conscious at all, and it definitely doesn't see things as "good" and "bad", it very likely doesn't even know we exist. Also any interpretation of "gods" humans create will always be limited to a human mind no matter what you do or take. In the end i just try to do whats best for the people on this earth, earth itself, and myself to make life more liveable for everyone right now. Ill deal with the afterlife later (if there is one).
1953-Presidents advisory committee on weather control formed. Operation Popeye-cloud seeding (silver or lead iodide) during Vietnam war to extend monsoon season in Vietnam. Etc etc.
It's intriguing how there are truly evil people in this world who I wish would face some form of judgment or punishment-just not that eternal kind. The problem I have with the Bible is that someone can act terribly and simply ask for forgiveness, while their victim suffers because they weren't convinced or didn't receive forgiveness before they died. This doesn’t make sense if there is a God or judgment after death. I would expect that judgment would be based on morals rather than beliefs.
To me if there is a god he must be a woman because no matter how much my kids misbehave there will not be a moment that I think you know I'm just not going to protect them from that fire over there, there is nothing my child can do that is bad enough for me to stop loving them even if they don't love me, even if they tell me they hate me and don't want to live the way that I live.. Me and god must be very different I am definitely not made in that image
It was always scary thinking that you would have to watch the DVD of your whole life with God standing next to you. I mean the whole thing always seemed ridiculous. 🤔😛
Romans 1:16-22 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools,
So says the sinner who will not come to the light. Jesus said that He was the light of the world and that whoever follows Him shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life. (John 8:12) Who are you in the light of your own sinful nature to judge God? That is called hypocrisy.
@christophergibson7155 Are you Timmy's crazy uncle he was talking about? No, you can't sell me back my imaginary soul. Your faith isn't my truth. I'd fight and die for you to have the right to call me a sinner however. I doubt you would do the same for me. Have a good night.
@@crapton9002 "you can't sell me back my imaginary soul."? I am not here to do anything but warn YOU of the danger your eternal soul is in. You are currently under the condemnation and the wrath of God. (John 3:18 & 3:36) If I could care less for you, I would not be on this channel. You have been deceived in believing everything with you is A-OK. You must see the gravity and seriousness of your sins before a Holy, Righteous, and Just God. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only One who can save and rescue you from all your sin. There are no more excuses about your truth verses my truth. Truth is absolute. Truth is objective and never subjective. There are just 3 steps to come to Jesus to find forgivness and cleansing from sin.REPENT--BELIEVE--RECIEVE
@christophergibson7155 Truth has falsifiable facts. Myth isn't truth. Besides I'm allergic to blood cults and their followers hustle. Be glad you are in a group and like it because I am definitely not a group person and never have been. Know thyself.
I asked God to unalive someone I felt pretty much deserved it because I wanted to know when He would act that way and where the line was, if there was one. Fast forward a couple weeks and I get a phone call from him and he says, "Forever is a very long time." He proceeds to tell me about having some attack where he can't breath and his vision blurred and he asked God to give him a second chance and suddenly it went away. This only made me angrier because he has had many second chances, but I knew that what he started with was the lesson I was supposed to learn; forever is forever and even if it means 90 years of someone getting away with murder, it's not worse than what's waiting for them on the other side if they don't turn from their ways, so God doesn't see a problem taking His time letting people get away in this life because once that door of mercy is shut it's not opening ever again.
This is the dumbest cop out ever. This is actually disgusting and disturbing. You’re attatching meaning to it saying that you “were supposed to learn a lesson”. And you’re saying god was showing you that. No, you just attatched god to it. I bet you you are lying. You’re both religious and indoctrinated and believe in this stupid BS . I bet you he knew that you prayed for god to kill him, and then he lied and said he had an attack.
I bet you his “attack” had NOTHING to do with god at all and he probably had an asthma attack or something completely natural and you have confirmation bias and think that it was god teaching him a lesson. I mean how sick and twisted can you fucking be? And I bet you you’re leaving out details that would make this story crumble, but you’re making it sound like he all of a sudden had an attach randomly after you prayed for him to die and then he calls you
He had “many” second chances? Bro so this isn’t even all that unusual. There was no god up there giving him second chances for ANYTHING. He just attaches god giving him second chances every time something scary happens to him and then it goes away. And he has your phone number, so you clearly have a relationship with this person. Like I said, you’re definitely leaving out key details from this story. You guys absolutely communicated about this before. Because that’s actually impossible. There is no evidence for your god at all. And what you’re saying is an extremely bold claim which you have no evidence for , so how about you tell the real story
@@hannahhodgins9516 Why would it make any difference at all that you think I'm lying? XD It is what I asked for and that's how I knew it is what I needed to learn. Maybe you too can get replies from God about your questions. :0
I can say this: THERE IS NO GOD. THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE. THERE IS NO HELL. Question: Does the fact that I stopped believing in God, the afterlife, Hell, the rapture of the church, etc, make it all go away? I can say there are no sharks in the ocean. Does that mean that going for a swim in the ocean, I will not encounter sharks?
It's tough to admit something verbally when all you have is secondhand information about it from someone else. It’s extremely dishonest to do that. And that's what they bible is asking for.
My question is this: if God is all knowing, why should we have to give him an account of our life? Shouldn't he already know how we lived our life?! If God is the ultimate judge, why ask our opinion? I could say lived a good life but God could have a completely different opinion. Just found your channel and enjoy listening.
What do you think about Near Death Experiences? I saw a story with an old man baptist pastor who had an NDE where God judged him for being pharisaical. Would you say NDEs are just an interaction with your own mind?

@@johnmonk3381 If dreams are all we have, then on some level they should be taken seriously. What makes sense to me after quite a bit of research on this topic, is that after death, what we may come into contact with is the repressed material of our sub conscious mind. Believing in post death judgement vs believing there is no post death judgement may be irrelevant. All the mental material you've accumulated throughout your life must be clearly seen, including the suppressed shadow of the sub conscious. This process can be described as a judgement as the conscious mind is forced to witness its deepest fears and anxieties.

The reason for their uncaring approach to the planet is they fully believe in the end times, end of the world and "a new heaven and new earth" that is promised in their scriptures. Why do they care what happens to this world when they are promised a new one?
I might consider what you are saying as being true if the people being “true” atheists had not been brought up in proximity (in home, neighborhood, community, country) to be influenced by the teachings on of Christianity on morality as to what it is -be as moral as the best representatives of Christianity.

Its ok to ask God questions
@markwarne5049 yea but don't expect an answer.
@@RobertGraziose God does answer sometimes, keep asking ,be persistent Jesus said and ask with right motives.
@markwarne5049 Jesus also said God knows what you want before you ask. He was implying that we should not say the same things over and over as the pagans do. Then taught us the lords prayer. Which basically says " thy will be done " I guess my good health is not in his will.. That's all I can figure.
@@RobertGraziose the Lord does care about us even though we can still be stricken by bad health but we only passing through earth heaven is our home but we have to follow Jesus and believe in him to get to heaven 🙏
The way that you can laugh at yourself, at other believers, at what evangelicals believe... is your brand. If we can't laugh at what we used to believe and how it controlled us, we would surely cry!
I remember being scared to death as a child fearing the judgment day. My strict fundamentalist religion required baptism for salvation (no sprinkling, total immersion). The reason I was baptized as a boy was because I didn’t want to go to hell. I was kicked out of my church when I came out as gay. I have been an atheist for a few years but I will never tell my family. My parents are gone, but my two sisters are still in the church we were raised in. They have lived a life of constant fear, so afraid they won’t make it to heaven. I love your videos!
I am so sorry you aren't able to be your authentic self with your sisters. Maybe one day your sisters will tell you that they realize what they've been taught is nonsense. In the meanwhile, I hope you have a loving family of your own choosing who can truly know and love you for exactly who you are. Sending you love from this stranger on the internet.
Thank you for your kind words! My husband and I have been together twenty years. He was raised in the Episcopal church and still believes in God. However, he accepts my atheism and doesn’t judge or condemn me. I’m so much happier as an atheist. I know longer judge people and I have no fear of hell. Life is good!
Coc?
@ Yes! My father was a minister. I wonder sometimes how much better my life might have been if I had never heard of that church.

Timmy, I was having such a rough day after the election and your video really cheered me up! Thanks for being here and making content, it helps so much!

Exactly!
When I was a Christian, I had severe hell anxiety.
Great video. So many gems. So many memories from my youth going to church as a child came back.
1. My mother raised my older brother and I going to a church in Maryland called Our Lady of Sorrows. I didn't complain even though I was too young for it to make any sense to me, because after church we would go to the House of Pancakes. That was my incentive for going to church and not saying anything.
2. Oh, another memory flashed back. Sometimes I would accompany my mother when she went grocery shopping. Just me and my mother. At one point, before we approached the checkout line, my mother would grab the Sunday newspaper and a copy of Vogue magazine. She would slip the Vogue magazine inside the Sunday paper. So, when we checked out, she was only charged for the groceries and the Sunday paper. I've never asked her about it. I've never judged her for it, even to her directly. But, it's a real memory.
3. The whole "Jesus died for your sins" was a concept that never stuck with me. When I first heard it, I was like, "huh?". How does someone's death 2,000 years ago have anything to do with me? Much less have anything to with my choices.
4. Thousands of people die every year from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, disease, famine, cancer, etc. If God created the Earth, he did a terrible job. And if God created us, why do our teeth rot so quickly? Why don't our teeth last our whole life?
5. Why give us a short life on this planet, a life we actually know about, and promise an eternal life AFTER this one? Why not give us a long life to begin with, and end it IF we actually do something evil or wrong against others?
6. Supposedly, Jeffrey Dahmer repented and converted to Christianity in prison before being killed by an inmate. Are we to believe he's in Heaven now? Try telling that to the families of his victims.
I could go on. But, I just have to read the Bible to see what a monster God is portrayed as.
I had a conversation in college with a Christian friend. She was drinking and having premarital sex. She said she knew it was a sin but she could just ask forgiveness later.
That never sat right with me.
I wish it were true so I could ask GAWD-UH why he doesn't drop mana from heaven for the 10 THOUSAND children who die of starvation DAILY. This is basically a religion of the PRIVILEGED.
Wow excellent point
@@scaraboo3624 I've read that hogwash cover to cover thanks to my childhood brainwashing with the TOXIC bs. And the answer is there is no God. Certainly no threemale monster who endorses slavery misogyny and homophobia like the one in the Bible.

I appreciate your ability to laugh out loud at your previously held beliefs. I went through an eight year deconstruction process in which I was stuck in the ‘angry atheist’ phase. I was totally outraged that I had been lied to and resented the lost opportunities and real harm that a devotion to a lie had produced. I was also angry that I had been made to believe ludicrous things by being continuously exposed to childhood indoctrination. When I would have occasion to recall the ludicrous beliefs that I once held factual and dear I could feel the anger and resentment rise up.
Your example has helped me over this hurtle and guided me to the realization that religious lies have less power over you when you treat them in the manner that they deserve - ridicule. Laughing at yourself for believing the ridiculous is disarming and allows you/one to place religious superstition in its proper place and completely robs it of the power it has over you.
That’s exactly what I was looking for. A method of disarming the power that religious lies had over me. I had come to realize that religious myths (lies) had complete power over me when I was a believer. It guided my behavior, thought, politics, guilt, and view of the world. But I also came to realize that religious myths STILL had power over me in the form of resentment, anger, and disgust. Laughter at the ridiculous helps me disarm these emotions and put them in their proper place.
Up until a year ago when I finally threw in the towel on religion, I lived in fear. Fear that something I said or did was a sin or unpleasing to god. Fear that my current life was too selfish and self-centered because I have food to eat and a roof over my head. Fear that I was going to give in to some kind of temptation and have to account for it in front of the big throne in the sky. Now that I have decided I'll never be good enough anyway and let myself see that it's all a fantasy story anyway, I feel SO much better. Your videos lay it on the line and I really enjoy them and learn from them. Thank you, Timmy!
My parents were the most moral, honest, kind, forgiving people on the planet and neither of them was religious. Three quarters of Christians are mostly scared of going to hell and about a quarter of them are fundamentally immoral people (scared, too - and feeling really guilty) for whom religion is a front - based upon my experience in church as an adult. Religion is a cover, for a certain percentage of people who are predisposed to seriously bad behaviour (lying, cheating, thieving, etc.). The message I got from my parents, absent any kooky religion, was that kindness and decency were there own rewards. My parents were fundamentally good people - they didn't need religion to try to fool anybody, they weren't sitting around fearing hell, and they didn't view these odd mythologies as "history". I got wrangled into going to an evangelical church wife as an adult (by an ex wife) and, man, what a weird experience. There's not a shred of evidence that anything in the Christian Bible is true beyond some very basic philosophies about kindness, forgiveness, etc. - which in my world is just common sense, anyway. How does anybody believe this stuff? Religion is a big racket, too.
It's the exact reason why so many folks are getting conned over fake love, investment, bitcoin or whatever scams out there. People are always gullible, greedy, risk-averse, fearful or over emotional, so play into any of these is more than enough to bait them to believe any kind of bs crap they are being told regardless of ridiculous they sound
@guymerritt4860 the Bible was never written to be taken literally. If you study symbolism you will unlock the code of the allegorical stories.
Hey Timmy, I have to sincerely give you thanks for your videos. Grew up in a pretty devout household and when I was around 18 I started getting more and more "evangelical" in my beliefs. I shipped out to USMC boot camp right around then, did a bunch of training, tried to convert my then ex fiancée, and eventually deployed. I was at such a state when I was overseas I even tried to convert the locals into Christianity. After a few rough patches and some pretty nasty stuff, i started questioning my entire thought process and where I really fit into things. After coming across your stuff, it's really helped me reflect on my past better, and crystallize my thoughts. I Kind of see now that yes, I was an ass, and it's OK to not have those strong religious beliefs any more.
Now I help volunteer around my community not because "I'll get judged after I die" but rather out of a genuine want to help those around me. Embracing my more agnostic side has seriously helped my mental health, so again, thanks for helping me along this journey.
If You ever find yourself in the Chattanooga area, ill treat you for a beer. Cheers.
@@ISometimesFixComputers Thank you for sharing your story!
The life review left me in constant fear when I was a Christian.
But neither is there any judge to vindicate all the women through the centuries who have suffered so much in abusive marriages (often justified by Christianity.)
Nothing but praise and adoration to you my friend for your courage to speak actual truth. When a person's reasoning ability becomes controlled by religious beliefs, then they are unable to reason objectively and therefore become willing to believe anything without evidence. You are a beautiful person.
Timmy, your videos and specifically your talk with Seth Andrews really helped me on my deconstruction journey. Best wishes, keep up the great work you do ❤
@@BeatleBoy428 Thank you!
God would need to start by judging himself. He needs to ask himself why he allows suffering. I know Christians have spent a lot of time defending God in this area and they stay on guard 24 hours a day for it.
Humans cause suffering
Yes and the thing is - if your a believer then god is all powerful, why does he need anyone to defend him - to its ridiculous
You always have me laughing out loud, seriously big belly laughs 😆I laughed so much during this one, thank you. Asinine is my favorite word to use!
Thank you so much for your videos, it makes me feel a lot less alone and proud that I'm able to think for myself and see through all the garbage. I'm agnostic and I respect everyone's beliefs, but I find more peace in not knowing and being open than trying to find all the goofy answers and being afraid. Just be kind everyone 💛

Thank you for pointing out the contradictions. Once you allow yourself to face the facts, it’s eye opening.
Great stuff, Timmy. Heard about you through Seth Andrews. Even after years of atheism, I still need my daily dose of atheist content. It's like keeping up with my covid shots because, you know, there's still a shit-ton of religious virus out there!
@@russhamel Thank you Russ!
Grew up in Appalachia , evangelical family. Never ever believed. Timmy it's like you have read my thoughts.
I’m not afraid of being judged by a supreme being…not because I’ve lived an exemplary perfect life, because I certainly haven’t. I’ve done things that I’m not proud of, but by the same token, I’ve done many things that I’m proud of…but at the end of it all, I’m not afraid of being judged because I’m just a human being living, being and doing all the “normal” things that most other“normal thinking” human beings are doing.
9:35 Great point! What happened to “let him who is without sin, cast the first stone?” If was held to his own standards he wouldn’t be allowed to judge us for anything.
Why did Jesus not cast the first stone, I thought he was without sin?
You're absolutely hilarious 😂 the faces you make hahaha
I have absolutely no problem standing before God. I have Loved and been abused by disrespectful people who loved the world more than they loved God. He Will Give me His Blessing. 😊❤
You are adorable, hilarious and so personable! So glad the algorithm sent you my way. Great vids!
Yes, I do fear getting judged! I know it's stupid, but when you were born in the religion, something's just don't leave your mind. I'm trying.
I’m with you, but I don’t want to leave my faith in Jesus.
@joaquin48dedios82 You don't have to. Just be aware and question anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.😃✌️ Are you having a hard time leaving?
Check out some of the info on the Recovering From Religion website. There are a lot of great resources on there for people who are struggling to dump the fears that have been drilled into them.
Now you're preaching atheism, pastor !!!
Personally I like to believe in a God who is a friend and not a judge ❤
What ever happened to just being normal.? Why have to justify either belief. Just be bloody normal.
That’s the way I think believe if you want to if you don’t, then don’t it just seems funny to me how believers and non believers want to argue back-and-forth. Who cares
You have to be incredibly ignorant to be an atheist.
Read that book years ago. I don’t remember but I would guess it would be something like 1. Not being true to oneself 2. Missing out on kid stuff when they are little 3. Not being a better friend, daughter, spouse, parent. I need to go back and reread 😮😮 it’s important to know know before it’s too late 😢
I love when you do voices, it's so funny 🤣🤣
I came from the same background, I enjoy your videos. Mine was AOG & Pentecostal Holiness- (Trinitarian), & I was a deacon & played guitar in the praise & worship band, & jail ministry, and I believed in HELL, - THANK GOD-( whom or whatever God is) I left that Hell based religion.
God knows everything ahead of advance why would he need to judge
People have free will
@@shanecorr1694that’s a dumb cop out. You’re religion is bullshit
That's right! Why is there an accounting in front of an all knowing God at the end? So that we will feel bad, feel sad, feel the punishment??? At the end, there is no more point to anything.
I agree, it is all fear leading up to the end.
Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior
And here you are spamming an atheist’s page with your trolling bullshit. We have no savior. You believe in a fairytale brother. So sad you worship a man so hated women and taught hate. It’s sick
This is absolutely hilarious. Your parody is spot on! The ironic thing is that the lack of accountability for admins on the Street Epistemology Discord and other Social media group is what destroyed it. This is the exact mentality of people who say, "Only god can judge me." I remember thinking and maybe replying, "Sorry sweetie, so can 12 of your peers." But that might just be in my own head beecause social anxiety.

Great content again Timmy! 👌
Believers emphasize the whole "saved by faith" thing. NOT what Jesus said. "The gates of heaven are narrow; work hard to get in". The faith thing is a PAUL thing...a Pharisee who SUPPOSEDLY had a vision on a trip. No way to prove it. And SO much of the modern Christian belief system shouldn't even be labeled that. Most current believers should be called Paulians instead, because they take WAY more from his supposed writings than the supposed words of Jesus.
Bottom line, it's all BS. All of it.
Yes. Jesus taught the same as The Buddha but in different genre. Christians idol worship him as per Paul. Christianity isn't a way of life for many. In the hands of the current GOP, it's a total behavioral excuse.
Q. How do you know a Christian doesn't understand the Bible?
A. Because they're a Christian. Bada boom.
If there is a place we all will go, everyone will be there. Or, there is nothing. The Father's Well tells me this. All is welcome as is and accepted as is to access to the well. No one is to be turned away.
I love your vibe ❤
I always enjoy your videos. It takes time to get over the fear, guilt & shame (heavy yoke) of Christianity. People get a heavier burden not lighter from this man made control dogma
Boy, I totally "get" what you are saying!! 👍👍👍👍
I was born into a loving Christian home..but my fam does stand by the gospel "belief" that people that haven't accepted Jesus as their Savior in their ❤ are going to Hell. And, you are preachin it right when you say that Evangelicals believe wholeheartedly that you can live a despicable life here on earth and still go to Heaven in the end as long as you "Ask Jesus in your heart" It just is ridiculous because it's not even common sense justice.
It makes a lot more sense to believe a perfect God would reward you for doing good than rather just believing that someone else's death paid for your sins like a get out of jail free card.
It is ludicrous and unacceptable to me that a Christian would assume that someone like a serial killer who gave his heart to Jesus before he dies would be gifted Heaven over Anne Frank or Gandhi? 🤨🤨
Hilarious you crack me up to Timmy! Keep up thee good work. I do wonder about Karma though. Says something to the effect in the Vedas, “like the fragrance of flowers in the wind so does our karma leave with our spirit when we die“
You are fired up today. Givin' me goosebumps. I felt the lack of a Holy Spirit in the lack of my soul!

My mind is my SAFE PLACE, no one can hear me in there. The armor of god made me have to prepare to go out in to the world, it still gives me pause, like I have to get ready to face people or even "principalities" SIGH.

Excellent video, sir. Lifelong non-believer, metalhead, and all around nice guy here. I never needed the threat of hell or the promise of Heaven to do right by people.
Keep up the good work.
This was great! Thank you. I agree, God would have to give account of HIS awful behavior. He's got a lot of explaining to do.
You are only deceiving yourself. God will never be put on trail. He is Holy, Righteous, and Just in all that He does.
You are the one who will stand and then fall prostrate before the Lord Jesus Christ to give an account for all the things you did in your life. The only "awful" behaviour is your sinful nature that condems you currently and puts you under the wrath of God. (John 3:18 & 3:36) God's judgment is always righteous. "The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever." (Psalm 119:160) For God can not lie. (Titus 1:2 &
Hebrews 6:18a) You desperately need Jesus to save and rescue YOU from all your sin. He is ever so faithful !
@@christophergibson7155 I don't believe your silly book of ancient Jewish fables. What a stupid conception of God, to think that all he cares about is human misbehavior. Oh poor God, the whole balance of his perfect universe is spoiled because I touched my willy last night......what a joke.
Yes!
Finally someone says it weights of hearts
What would I say to “god” if there is one come judgment day? I’d say the same thing that was found carved on a prison wall in a concentration camp cell during WWII by a Prisoner: “If there is a god, he will have to beg my forgiveness.”
Why would you have to have a final judgement if you have repented all your life? The whole lamb of God thing and accepting that wasn't enough that you have to still go through a judgement?
One minute in and I already have a big smile on my face ... You are so good. man ! I however do believe in weather manipulation, Timmy, haha. Whoever is going to judge me for that.... Go ahead.

The title alone I felt was blasphemous. Oh dear.

Thank goodness for this message! Honestly thought this for FAR TOO LONG 😢😢😢
Ill pray for you brother to know that Jesus Christ is serious about you because he loves you for real and he layed his life down for you
Ahahah dude shush. You sincerely believe that because you’re brainwashed. It was originally Judaism and they didn’t believe in heaven or hell at all. Christians made it up. You don’t even know the history about your own religion. Your threats don’t scare us, because we don’t believe in this bullshit anymore. We realized how dumb and false
It is. There is no Jesus that loves someone so much. You just take it face value without any research or
Actual deconstruction. You’re biased in your own belief. Your Jesus and god are not real. And it’s so frustrating to hear this basic thing Christian’s say “I’ll pray for you
To come back blah blah” . That’s the most common bs saying from Christian’s. Like we don’t believe in your bs, so that saying isn’t going to sway us
Thanks for this talk. I enjoyed it.
Hi Timmy. I love your videos, they are so helpful. I still identify as a Christian, but as I continue in my painful deconstruction, it is unlikely that I will be a Christian much longer. My question - as an agnostic, is a funeral necessary upon death? Asking for a friend. lol.
I fear more about what's going to happen Nov 5th. What happens after I die is a coin toss. I have never felt that there is a after life.
Just because many gods are wrong doesnt mean that a god or some type of power isnt out there

Romans 6:12-14 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
Book sounds good will check out.
Im in most ways an atheist but i also lean heavily towards pantheism and my view on "god" is that its not conscious in the same way as humans, if its conscious at all, and it definitely doesn't see things as "good" and "bad", it very likely doesn't even know we exist. Also any interpretation of "gods" humans create will always be limited to a human mind no matter what you do or take. In the end i just try to do whats best for the people on this earth, earth itself, and myself to make life more liveable for everyone right now. Ill deal with the afterlife later (if there is one).

Timmy is on the turps 😂😂 love it ❤
It's intriguing how there are truly evil people in this world who I wish would face some form of judgment or punishment-just not that eternal kind. The problem I have with the Bible is that someone can act terribly and simply ask for forgiveness, while their victim suffers because they weren't convinced or didn't receive forgiveness before they died. This doesn’t make sense if there is a God or judgment after death. I would expect that judgment would be based on morals rather than beliefs.
To me if there is a god he must be a woman because no matter how much my kids misbehave there will not be a moment that I think you know I'm just not going to protect them from that fire over there, there is nothing my child can do that is bad enough for me to stop loving them even if they don't love me, even if they tell me they hate me and don't want to live the way that I live.. Me and god must be very different I am definitely not made in that image
great video you make awesome points . keep them coming
It was always scary thinking that you would have to watch the DVD of your whole life with God standing next to you. I mean the whole thing always seemed ridiculous. 🤔😛
Totally with you there on the whole, I used to think like that, and could rationale God's 'inaction', and his shitty 'rules'.

Romans 1:16-22 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools,

So says the sinner who will not come to the light. Jesus said that He was the light of the world and that whoever follows Him shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life. (John 8:12) Who are you in the light of your own sinful nature to judge God? That is called hypocrisy.

Prove it!!! God is the biggest load of bunk ever foisted on the human race.
I asked God to unalive someone I felt pretty much deserved it because I wanted to know when He would act that way and where the line was, if there was one.
Fast forward a couple weeks and I get a phone call from him and he says, "Forever is a very long time."
He proceeds to tell me about having some attack where he can't breath and his vision blurred and he asked God to give him a second chance and suddenly it went away.
This only made me angrier because he has had many second chances, but I knew that what he started with was the lesson I was supposed to learn; forever is forever and even if it means 90 years of someone getting away with murder, it's not worse than what's waiting for them on the other side if they don't turn from their ways, so God doesn't see a problem taking His time letting people get away in this life because once that door of mercy is shut it's not opening ever again.
This is the dumbest cop out ever. This is actually disgusting and disturbing. You’re attatching meaning to it saying that you “were supposed to learn a lesson”. And you’re saying god was showing you that. No, you just attatched god to it. I bet you you are lying. You’re both religious and indoctrinated and believe in this stupid BS . I bet you he knew that you prayed for god to kill him, and then he lied and said he had an attack.
I bet you his “attack” had NOTHING to do with god at all and he probably had an asthma attack or something completely natural and you have confirmation bias and think that it was god teaching him a lesson. I mean how sick and twisted can you fucking be? And I bet you you’re leaving out details that would make this story crumble, but you’re making it sound like he all of a sudden had an attach randomly after you prayed for him to die and then he calls you
He had “many” second chances? Bro so this isn’t even all that unusual. There was no god up there giving him second chances for ANYTHING. He just attaches god giving him second chances every time something scary happens to him and then it goes away. And he has your phone number, so you clearly have a relationship with this person. Like I said, you’re definitely leaving out key details from this story. You guys absolutely communicated about this before. Because that’s actually impossible. There is no evidence for your god at all. And what you’re saying is an extremely bold claim which you have no evidence for , so how about you tell the real story
@@hannahhodgins9516 Why would it make any difference at all that you think I'm lying? XD
It is what I asked for and that's how I knew it is what I needed to learn. Maybe you too can get replies from God about your questions. :0
@ explain your story specifically
There's a great video about this called - Gettin' To Heaven with Robert Presson
I can say this:
THERE IS NO GOD. THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE. THERE IS NO HELL.
Question:
Does the fact that I stopped believing in God, the afterlife, Hell, the rapture of the church, etc, make it all go away?
I can say there are no sharks in the ocean. Does that mean that going for a swim in the ocean, I will not encounter sharks?
I've seen sharks in the ocean. Never seen a god. Curious, isn't it?🤔😏
@barbarasmith2693 :
I guess all those millions of people around the globe lied about their near death experience, huh?
Sorry, yes we will
It's tough to admit something verbally when all you have is secondhand information about it from someone else. It’s extremely dishonest to do that. And that's what they bible is asking for.
Timmy's body language when he says "...Jesus is the only way!!!! TIMMY jesus is the only way!!"😂😂😂😂 18:46
God: "no rock music! you go ol' possum & willie"
Bring Back the teeth! 😅
i watch that skit everyday 😅
@@TimothyCaster 😂 Thank you!
Who will be the first person to prove a god exists before claiming it says, does or wants anything?
No one.
My question is this: if God is all knowing, why should we have to give him an account of our life? Shouldn't he already know how we lived our life?! If God is the ultimate judge, why ask our opinion? I could say lived a good life but God could have a completely different opinion.
Just found your channel and enjoy listening.
I'm gonna respond the same way I'm sure Ol Blue Eyes will. " I Did It My Way".
What do you think about Near Death Experiences? I saw a story with an old man baptist pastor who had an NDE where God judged him for being pharisaical. Would you say NDEs are just an interaction with your own mind?
Yes why shouldn't ndes be taken as dreams?? We know brains dream in sleep so why not just before death when you're likely to be in deep sleep as well!
@johnmonk3381 are they any less real than the dream of being awake in a physical world?
@@larolddunahey why should dreams, no matter in what states people do them in, be taken seriously is my point. Dying people are obviously slipping in and out of consciousness most of the time, aka sleeping so what makes their brain activities that much different from dreaming!
@@johnmonk3381 If dreams are all we have, then on some level they should be taken seriously. What makes sense to me after quite a bit of research on this topic, is that after death, what we may come into contact with is the repressed material of our sub conscious mind. Believing in post death judgement vs believing there is no post death judgement may be irrelevant. All the mental material you've accumulated throughout your life must be clearly seen, including the suppressed shadow of the sub conscious. This process can be described as a judgement as the conscious mind is forced to witness its deepest fears and anxieties.
@@larolddunahey So why should i or anyone else listen to your opinions about dreams? Thanks but no thanks! If pre-death dreams are real, then everybody should be rushing to dying people and ask for lottery numbers, won't they! Instead what do these dying people keep seeing?? Bright lights, angels, jesus, hell, heaven or whatever. Well christian people keep seeing jesus. But hindus, buddhists, chinese or other creeds see other things! 🤣🤣
