- One of the darkest moments in Miriam's life was the death of her son AR in 2003.
At 67, the Senator still chokes on the memory of that loss, even as she faces the issue of her own mortality.
Miriam: "No one will remember me"
this time she's wrong. cause we remember her as the iron lady, devoted lawyer, Great politician and a good mother.
Yes, just when MUP Rabiya mentioned hert to her answer I suddenlly remember how smart,how good she is, no wonder why we call her"THE BEST PRESIDENT THAT WE NEVER HAD" cause she truly is. RIP Iron lady.
@@rachaeltragico8439 wrong she is not the best president that we never have.

Miriam was heavily influenced by the Existential philosophers, the Stoics, and the Russian novelists. I'd followed her interviews over the years where she mentioned Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Nietzsche, Sartre, and other heavyweights at one point or another. This was the woman who, according to her brother, was not only a bookworm but a "book monster."
yea and that last quote from her book "stupid is forevermore", very nihilistic
Pero ang greatest book Of all yhe bookmof life-the Holy Bible pinagtuunan ba nya ng pansin?
Godly Wisdom ang nahkulang sa Kanya. Dito sa interview nya inamin nya effort nya lahat ang narating nya nahpeau daw sya pero inako nya lahay ng credit sa kung anong narating Nya. Ang joy nya ay wala kay Lord God at hindi ko narinig na ginlorify nya si God.
Kaya sa interview na iyan ni Korina, hindi na ako nagtataka hindi Nya nakamtan anh dream Nya ng presidency
No wonder she wanted to go to Russia
@@julioriveragomez6995 we have the freedom of choice , God gave us freedom .
She was also a fan of Karl Rahner, SJ.
she could have been a really good president...
JAMES, WHAT IS A "GOOD" PRESIDENT. MAG TATATALAK YAN!!. LAHAT STUPID, AND YAN ANG ORGASM SIGURO NYA.....ANG MAG LECTURE TO DEATH AND WILL MAKE EVERYBODY FEEL STUPID.
I DO ADMIRE HER BRAIN.....THATS ALL. THE POOR WOMAN HAD NO HUMILITY....WALA KANG KA LABAN, LABAN SA CANCER. NOTHING....TO THINK SHE WAS NOT A SMOKER DAW.
PEOPLE WILL MOURN, BUT IF WE DIDN'T TOUCH SOMEONE PERSONALLY BY OUR WARMTH, KINDNESS , AND AFFECTION?? OK, MAGALING KA NGA....BUT THERE'LL BE MORE AFTER YOU..... OR FOR SURE....BETTER. LETS NOT BE SOOO FULL OF OUR FUCKING SELVES....
+WAYWARD WIND No humility? How do you know? Kilala mo ba siya personally or yun lang nakikita mo sa TV? At magtatalak? What's wrong with it kung may point naman ang tao? Sa sitwasyon ng pilipinas, at sa dami ng nalalaman niya, sino ang hindi makakapagtalak? At touch someone personally by warmth, kindness and affection ba kamo? Do you know how many people supports her? Sa tingin mo ano kaya tingin ng pamilya ni Miriam sa kanya? You surely judged her acting as if kilalang kilala mo siya. Talk about being "full of himself".
She would have been more better than Cory and GMA combined
@@waywardwind6000 kaya mo yan nasabi kasi wala kang binatbat sa talino niya. Accept it already, she was one of the smartest women ever in the Philippines.
@@waywardwind6000 yung typichal na katulad mahina utak idol mo kasi mga mahihinang utak din na politician
Actually, she has a point there, and this is coming from a devout Christian. Prayer NEVER change God's mind. It never gives us the pleasure to have whatever we want to have, changing some of God's plan in the process. Prayer helps us to hold on our faith tighter. Prayer changes our point of view. And by those things, prayer keeps us grounded.
HELLO COWBOY, ITS TRUE. OMG!!! HOW TRUE. I TELL YOU, OWNED A LOT OF REAL ESTATE HOLDINGS. KASO NAGKASAKIT AKO, AND I GOT TIRED OF WORKING. HERE ARE MY CHOICES. GIVE IT AWAY TO MY EX NA NAKIKIPAG LABANAN SA AKIN, TO PUNISH ME, HE WANTED TO HAVE IT ALL, OR SELL IT NA GUSTO NYA UNREASONABLE ANG PRICE TO MAKE ME STAY, AND I'LL PAY THE CAPITAL GAINS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. PUNYETA SABI KO, EITHER WAY, PATAY DIN AKO.
SO SABI KO, YOU SOB, I BOUGHT ALL OF THIS. I KNOW THE BUSINESS, LETS SEE HOW FAR YOU'LL GO WITH THIS. SO I SAID, YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL, JUST SIGN THE DIVORCE PAPERS. HE WAS SHOCKED!!! LOL... LATER ON, HE SAID I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'LL LEAVE ME. IASKED WHY?? YOU ABUSED ME ALL THESE YEARS. HE SAID BECAUSE YOU'RE A DEVOUT CATH. HOW STUPID. I SAID THATS EMOTIONAL BLACK MAIL. BATA AKO, TANGA WHEN YOU MARRIED ME. I'M NOW WORLDLY. LESS THAN 4 YRS., HE LOST EVERYTHING. WE USED TO HAVE A PORSCHE, MB, JAGUAR, BMW, I LEFT EVERYTHING AND HE LOST IT ALL.
WELL, THE TRUTH, I WAS SOOOO AFRAID TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. I WAS SICK. I PRAYED, PRAYED AND PRAYED. SURE I DIDN'T CHANGE THE PLANS OF GOD....I CHANGED....I BECAME ACCEPTING. I SUBMITTED TO HIS DIVINE WILL....ITO BA ANG GUSTO MO?? I AM OFFERING YOU MY GOD MY TATTERED LIFE. WHEN I SAID THAT, IT LIBERATED ME. I SLOWLY FELT BETTER AND STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. I GOT EVERYTHING BACK, I HAVE A BETTER LIFE, AND IN MY WHOLE LIFE I NEVER THOUGHT I'LL LIVE IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY. I BREATHE THE OCEAN BREEZE. I DON'T ANYMORE NEED TO BUST MY ASS WORKING SO DAMN HARD. I HAD A WINDFALL WITHOUT EVEN TRYING SO HARD. WHEN EVERYTHING IS SAID AND DONE, MY ALMIGHTY GOD PRESENTED ME A MUCH BETTER OPTION, DEAL THAN WHAT I PRAYED FOR. ANG DAMI KO PANG GUSTONG SAB IHIN, BUGT NEVER MIND. THAT IS MY STORY ON PRAYERS. THANKS COWBOY...I LIKE YOUR NAME
SW..
@@OPERA943 Thank you for sharing your story and insights. I'm just wondering how such submission to the divine will is done and with certainty that one's choices in life are God-driven.
YOU GOT IT. BUT I ALSO BELIEVE GOD WILL FIGURE OUT SOMETHING. HAHAAA. MY OWN INTERPRETATION OF MY GOD. EXAMPLE, "DEAR GOD, I DUNNO IF AM DOING THIS RIGHT. PLS. GIVE ME THE GIFT OF DISCERNMENT".
@@OPERA943 I sometimes think that when one's heart and mind jive, or when things go smoothly, or when life gives pleasant surprises, or when unexpected people come to help and/or change one's sorry life for the better, that's when divine forces are at play.
Dont criticize her just because her views are different than yours.
VENUS, WHY NOT??
@@OPERA943 Because her intellect is very much greater than urs.
@@markninosulla2606 exactly
Then cancer stage 3 came, she mocked then, got what she deserved
@@OPERA943 because people like you doesn’t match the intellect that she has. Who are you to criticize someone just because you have different views? Respect is much better than your religion.
Love her honesty. As an existentialist atheist and a Filipino myself, I couldn't care less about what ignorant people say or think. It's very difficult to reason and have a conversation with people who cannot separate reality from fiction/fantasy.
yeah u fkn bet . What kinda term is that existentialist atheist?
@@ahmedsudaisbatua-an435 Google is free, my guy.
A very good reflection: Our prayers doesn't change God's mind but change our own mind and thinking in addressing our problems in life.
YES, GOD I BELIEVE DOES NOT CHANGE HIS MIND SOMETIMES. EXAMPLE, WHEN I GOT SICK, I ASKED "WHY?? I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. HOW WILL I RETIRE AT 50, IF AM DISABLED??? YUN PALA, I HAD TO STOP WORKING FOR ME TO SAVOR THE LIFE THAT HE PLANNED FOR ME. GOD GIVETH, HE ALSO TAKETH. IT SURE WAS SCARY TO TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH. I FELT ABANDONED. HINDI PALA. THATS PHILLIP...
what god?
christianity is #fakenews. The Philippines is not a theocracy. No respecting an establishment of religion
As an Atheist, I understand what she's trying to point out and I admire her for expressing her opinion regarding this matter. I must agree with her. After all, faith is a choice.
JAY, BRAVO....FAITH IS A CHOICE. TAMA KA.
Indeed. Im an atheist myself...
Kutong buntis tiyang!
im an atheist also myself
May mga atheist rin pala dito sa ph hahaha
seeing her cry is just so heartbreaking bc it's so often to observe her crying or even smiling, she's hard as stone the way i see her everytime she roasts politicians. 😔
LIA, SHE WAS BROUGHT TO HER KNEES. MIRIAM DEFENSOR GETS A HIGH WHEN SHE INSULTS HER KAPWA. THATS HER LEGACY, AND IN MY BOOK SHE'S A BULLY. AN EDUCATION SHOULD MAKE US KINDER AND HAPPIER. IISA NGA LANG ANG BUHAY NATIN, THATS ALL WE'VE AMOUNTED TO?? SHE SHOULD'VE DEFENDED TH LEAST OF HER BRETHREN. FIGHT FOR THE DEFENSELESS/VOICELESS WOMEN. SAYANG SIYA.
Miriam truly understands the world in way more mature and intellectual perspective. Truly a fan of yours Madam Miriam.
2019! This is actually one of the deepest interviews I have ever seen. Bravo!
@some jose In my case, I find this mind-boggling not because I’m a Filipino nor I’m offended by atheism. She vocalized fresh perspectives that we don’t usually hear from the majority.
But we will remember you, madam senator, for you taught us the true meaning of honor AND excellence . 😔✊ May you rest in peace, "the best president we never had"
I feel her genuineness thats why Im voting for her...
I love you and miss you everyday Miriam, watching 2019
Out of nowhere, I just craved for MDS's speeches and court interpolations then I came crossed this interview and I was blown away. I also ask the same questions when I'm alone.
we have the same concept of question bruhh
her words here made me think that she's praying for our country more than anybody else does. burnout happens to everyone.
She is brave for standing by her beliefs. Katotohanan, tapang at talino. Go, Miriam!
That’s what you call conviction.
"IF God is omnipotent, no amount of prayer can change his/her mind."
God is really omnipotent.. But all things He always do with the process in accordance to His will for us to be good.. And we don't have a right to question His plan.

Sana may mag translate nito para nang maintindihan nang iba. People are too dumbfounded nowadays, jumping to conclusion without analyzing situations. Too narrow minded para gawin 'tong black propaganda. I really love this interview. I hope she wins.
I will always remember you and everything you've stood for. No one can fathom your brilliance. You're THE BEST to ever do it in the game of politics. I'll always be your number 1 fan, and you'll always be my greatest inspiration ❤️❤️🥺
“There’s no point to human life.” Its weird that its somehow consoling when you hear it from her.
Ikr?
A prayer does not changed the mind of God, but does changed my mind.
On the contrary.. when Jonas was sent to Nineveh..to proclaim that if the people does not repent their sins.. God would destroy the whole city of 120,000..people..Immediately the king and the people put on sackcloth.. pour ashes on their heads and repented their sins.. and God changed his mind...
At first Jonas disobeyed God.. Instead of going to Nineveh.. he went to the opposite direction... he boarded a ship.. God sent a violent storm that almost wrecked the ship.. He said to the captain..Throw me to the sea... and this storm will calm.. down... the big fish swallow Jonas.. For three days and three nights Jonas was inside the fishs belly..He was delivered on the beach of Nineveh...
This is the most brief yet the most enlightening explanation about God, faith, and prayers that I’ve been looking for. The late Senator’s intelligence and wisdom transcends across all body of knowledge and understanding of these universes.
what god?
I salute you Sen. Mariam Defensor Santiago. As a mother I really feel what you felt.
I'm sold...I'm voting for her :D
+Kane Bernardino Very good choice!
RIP
Alexander Robert Defensor Santiago died because he had a failing grade in Constitutional Law (a law subject in which Miriam is an expert-author) in Ateneo Law, prior to that Alexander failed the UP Law interview for the panel were questioning the state of sanity of MDS & the cockfight gambling of his father, in which he was not able to address. Ateneo was his second choice, yet he failed a subject her mother is an expert. Alex was bullied by the people who are either jealous or opposite of MDS's political ideology or political platform.

Alexander Santiago was described as shy and introverted by several people. He didn't have his mother's fortitude. I got the impression that Miriam was pretty lenient with her children because she didn't like how she was raised by a perfectionist mother who demanded that they all excel in every single thing they did. I remember an interview where Miriam said she always told her husband (who was the disciplinarian according to her) to let their children be because was there anything more important than being happy? She said that that was the one thing to aspire to--not to be successful, but to be happy.
Kaiyaks :(
@@waywardwind6000 Hindi naman lahat ng taga-UP ay mayabang. Ang lupit ng UP panel to ask Alexander those questions, but those people do not solely define UP graduates in general. Nag-aral sya sa Ateneo at dun sya bumagsak sa isang subject, ayon kay jhunzio. At dahil mga taga-UP lamang ang tinukoy mo, paano sya patuloy na na-bully ng mga taga-UP kung sa Ateneo naman sya nag-aral?
I agree with some of your points. People shouldn't be defined by the schools they attended. It's the character that matters most regardless of academic background. Sadly, may mga Pilipino - college graduate man o hindi - ang mapagmata at mapanghusga ng kapwa.
Madam we will always Remember you , coz you've done many Good things!
That footage of Sen. Santiago crying and grieving for her son is one of the most heartbreaking things i ever saw. I would understand why she lost her faith. i am also going through loss and sickness now and is now undergoing through something similar. i just keep fighting but is plagued with so many questions.
Mirriam i understand what you went thru people who haven't in that situation dont understand that. ..Our pain us a parent is do deep ...that i will carry all my life,i lost him st the age of 12 bakit ibinigay ang diyos sa akin and he said he love us and then take him away just like that ..he said he have a plan for me..,yeah all loving..sorry im in pain today ,..and everyday . But i will stand up ..carry on ..on what we call life, and we when our time come we will be ready .
+Melva Gonsalves but her loss should not make her to doubt God and even insult God in front of camera!
@@eduard080678 stfu, this the problem with you religious people. You always prohibit others in questioning God, y’all stopping people to think freely and have thoughts about God.
People have freewill right? Y’all believe in the concept of freewill but you’re all being against people who are questioning God.
That’s an incredible hypocrisy.
I think na-misunderstood ng marami si SMDS. If we listen with open mind, she is just presenting basic theology here but never a point she admitted to being an atheist, not that atheism is bad. I mean, many people miss the part that Freedom of Religious belief is one of the main pillars of the so called Democracy. Now, let us make a dare, IF YOU CONDEMN ANYTHING OR ANYBODY RELATED OR CONNECTED TO ATHEISM WHATSOEVER, THEN DON'T USE ANYTHING RELATED OR CONNECTED TO MICROSOFT. If you don't know what I mean, then not all things are taught in church.
late but she sounds agnostic not atheist at all. atheists are sold to the fact that a god doesnt exist. but she said we cant prove if there’s a god or not.
When we see righteous and responsible non religious politicians like her, we can say there is still hope for Philippines.
Sad to say looking at the comment section, Filipinos deeply rooted to their archaic beliefs still exist.
JAE NEGARDE, What is ARCHAIC ABOUT THEIR BELIEFS.
Spanish spread Christianism. Remember? How sure you are that these are true.
what he mean archaic beliefs is yung mga pamahiin natin
JAE NEGARDE, DON'T BE SAD. I AM SOOO VERY HAPPY.

I admire this woman intelligence and do understand the grief she's suffering from the death of his son. If his son is as strong as her mother characteristic he will overcome bullying. Being bullied is a stressful situation but if a person got a strong will determination to fight it bullies are no match.

Actually, the last parts of this interview is already in Ecclesiastes. :)
Sana ganito ang mga politician
very well said sir! i agree with you, her views are from a person with open mind, she's so intelligent, she is my number 1 Senator, feisty and intelligent with integrity and love or country
ang ibig sabihin ni miriam.. if God has a divine plan, then what is the point praying in the first place? Yes, praying gives you comfort..but why waste time? If God is going to do his plan anyway? same concept ni George Carlin ;-)
For God is righteous God.
Miriam was an agnostic to the end.

So true. Kilala ko din si George Carlin
@@Scorn268 well i finish to read the bible
It's unbelivable how you can immediately judge a person just because of his/her disbelief in god by saying terrible things.
P.S. to believers:
Sabi ng diyos niyo na wag manghusga dba? Bat kayo ata ang tila mas masama pa ang nasasabi kesa sa mga unbeliever?
+Erika Jean Botardo eh sino b ang intusang wag humusga at ano??? if a person insulted you or your parents how will you react?? actually ako n lng insultuhin mo wag lng paniniwala ko s Dios! dahil siya ang nagutos hwag gumawa ng masama s kapwa, eh kung hndi ako nainiwala bka marami nko napatay! and to insult someone n mahalaga sau will you be gladly say oh it's ok! hypocrite!!
Seems like you're doing good deeds for the wrong reasons. So di ka papatay kasi sabi ng Diyos wag pumatay? Kung walang Diyos papatay ka na lang ba? Ganun ka na lang magwawala?
Para malaman mo, ang slavery sinusuportahan ng Bible pero people stopped buying slaves kasi napag-isip-isip nilang di dapat binebenta ang tao. It was an act of morality done despite the Bible saying you can have slaves.
Morality exists even without God
she is just stating her opinion upon god, apparently i have the same thoughts due to the curiosity of the human mind. on her case, she lost his son declining her faith in the aftermath, a mom who lost a son/daughter is hard, i dont get it why this is a ruckus and decided not to vote her. Philippines is not a straight catholic/Christian country. even though we have a minority of other religions such as moslem, hinduism and such. the people here will be like christianity superior religion
+Erika Jean Botardo Just to be clear the bible does not support slavery, it was the misuse of the bible that supports slavery. Have you read the book of Philemon?
+eduard aquino are you insulted because she doesn't believe in god?
I'm not even insulted if you believe in god.
..she filled our mind with informations that no other Philippine officials had shared...thank you Madam Miriam.. you will always be remembered...
Naiiyak ako😢...
As a non believer, this is refreshing to hear. I've always thought that all politicians, like most Filipinos, are bible thumping god-botherers.
this interview has been takne out of context by many...
Absolutely. Especially the religiously narrow minded people, the hypocrites, and the stupid ones.
only smart people can understand Miriam
It's been 8 years and I'm still remember you
I can understand her anger... No parent should bury their child before their time. She is grieving.
Sa lahat ng politician, sa kanya ko sobrang nanghihinayang. ☹️ Grabe sobrang idol ko to si Senator mirriam. ☹️
So what if she is an atheist? To extreme and 'edgy' for many people perhaps? A person is not any less worthy by basis of her beliefs, which is agreed upon by the fact that the Philippine government is secular and does not recognize an official state religion.
Even if this country is secular. People would still think Atheists as 'spiritual' criminals.
She believes in God. You have taken this interview out of context. She was merely discussing how theology works regarding faith
She is agnostic atheist not theist lol

we lovedyou miriam, god bless you. take care of yourself we need you, hope someday we see you in personal
I think miriam mentioned this kind of her concept of beliefs because of too much grief and loss of hopes. let's admit it, we sometimes came to that point of our lives in which 'kasalanan lahat ng diyos' at 'walang diyos' ang iniisip. But when miriam realized that after her son's death, God still saved her for a lot of times and still showed her love pagkatapos niyang ideny ang Diyos, she turned her beliefs... That was the grieving miriam. Miriam now is different from then.
+Roven Lopez That's the trick of religion, it plays with human emotion. It's a deceptive belief, a deceptive institution.

I'm a Christian at alam ko na pwedeng maka.affect to sa pagpili ng mga tao sa pagboto.. Pero tanong ko lang, does it really define her ability to lead us ? Masyado naman ata tayong magiging judgemental kung ganun. Tulad nga itinuturo sa atin sa simbahan .. "ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ANYONE.". Last, I just want to share our pastor's favorite qoute. HINDI LAHAT NG PUMAPASOK SA GARAHE AY KOTSE, MINSAN MAY ASO DIN... and as so as the church.
So you are a Christian... so then examine yourself miss especially your faith...
jao old vid na to xD
alam ko master of theology na si mirriam ee. ewan ko lng kng nabago faith nia
kevin Sparks I know hindi naman ako perpektong Kristyano.. ang point ko lang bakit natin sya ijujudge agad dahil sa sinabi nya... imbes na kamuhian natin sya Why Not ipagdasal natin sya na mabago at mapalawak pa nya ang isip nya tungkol pagkakakilala nya kay Lord.
kevin Sparks At maiba lang po ako, isa din yan sa dahilan kung bakit ayaw pumasok ng mga Unbelievers sa loob ng simbahan eh, Feeling kasi nila ipagtatabuyan natin sila dahil iba/ mali yung paniniwala nila... Hindi sila kumportable kasi pakiramdam nila hindi sila Welcome sa church which is alam naman natin na mali yung ganung kaisipan.
Dba nga "THE CHURCH IS A HOSPITAL FOR SINNERS, NOT A MUSEUM FOR SAINTS." ...
Hope you understand my point po sir. :) I didn't to argue po. God Bless kapatid :)
Rozaldo Martinez talaga zalds ? d ko kasi nabasa lahat nung mga natapos at experiences nya eh ... hehehe Check ko, pramis babasahin ko na lahat .. hahaha
We miss & we love you Ma'am Forever...
@ANCalerts. I hope you guys can upload the whole interview.
I have the same belief as Miriam ... wow, it is true "life is a consequence of our moral choice"
MDS : "What can be more important than a child ?"
I just rewatched this interview after many years. It has dawn on me as a human being when we are affected by a lost of our love one our peeception does alter our own reality. Such as the case with Miriam. Even as an intellect as she claimed to be she is contradictory to her own thoughts and words. Logic does not prevail when we are stricken in grief as she was. BTW it also does not help that the setting is from the exact person who ask the same questions from the very subject last spoken about.
I miss her so much. Nov. 2018
Yung damit ni Miriam ay parang ka shade ng lava gown ni catriona..hehe..she's really on Fiyeeer🌋😄
Someday I will teach to my children that this woman is a legend so she will be remembered
She truly is, she Ruled! 🔥
This woman is funny, smart and forthright with her opinions. She hold no punches and speaks her mind out. I believe that she is the person the country needs as its leader. She is not a politician. She is a woman with conviction and she stand by her words. Her honesty in this interview is very refreshing and she is the kind of a leader that will achieve great things for the country.
0:41 Okay, sir. How dare him smile while Miriam was balling her eyes out crying for his deceased son.
Our society is not yet that open minded to accept atheism, the fact that some people in our community thought atheism can lead to decrease of morale, but it's sad for me to see that some people(really) make their religion as the foundation of their morality. It's flawed and pathetically inconsistent;
I'm looking forward to a community where science is treated as a fact and not just an opinion.
I am an agnostic and I agree with this. :)
sakit 😭
She was deeply hurt why she spoke that way...She also manifested both her highness in her craft and her simplicity in thinking as a normal human being...
Who's here after Rabiya Meteo won Miss Universe Philippines .😍
May your son's soul "Rest in Peace!"
One of the greatest minds of all time…
she was misunderstood by many because She's not afraid to speak her mind. if only she's still around and in the senate, she'll probably have gone ballistic with all the mess this current leaders are in. so sad no one comes close to her caliber. no one! you are dearly missed, MDS!
She really spoke about god in such an amazing way.
what god?
ang tao may sariling opinyon. pero ang tao walang karapatang magsabi kung ano ng dapat gawin ng kapwa nila basi sa kanilang paniniwala. Kung may gana kayong husgahan ang mga sinabi niya, mahuhusgahan din kayo. sabi nga nila, idaan sa kilos ang pagpupuna. kung anong ayaw niyong gawin nila, huwag niyong gagawin. kasi kapag puro ka puna, wala ka namang katibayan sa sarili mo. satsat lang tayo ng satsat dito. at hindi ko sinasabing marangal ako, walang marangal sa mundo. lahat tayo may kasamaan sa puso, nasa atin lang kung lalakihan pa natin.
+Rhed onLyRhed well said,, i agree to that,,
+Rhed onLyRhed yes #miriam2016
Rhed, I think IBA ANG HUSGA SA OPINION. YAN ANG PANIWALA KO. BTW, judgments don't bother me. Kung gusto lang nating maging POLITICALLY CORRECT, WHAT IS THIS FORUM FOR?? DI BA PARA MAGKARON TAYO NG IBAT, IBANG OPINION?? WHY DO WE REACT THAT ITS ALWAYS JUDGMENTAL. KASI HAVINg a differing opinion brings out the best in all of us. WE ARE GIVEN A CHANCE TO THINK CRITICALLY. But then again, CULTURALLY SIGURO NGA WE DON'T ANYMORE THINK CRITICALLY. AGAIN, I DUNNO. Thanks, Rhed
I am Agnostic. I believe I am here in this world to pursue my own life's happiness and that I should pursue it not at the expense of other people's own happiness. To live life to the fullest while being mindful of not trampling into other people's beliefs.
If you choose to believe in a deity (or not) in order for you to do the same, then so be it. It's your own choice of personal enlightenment after all. So as long as its for the betterment of mankind then why should I contest?
Wish we could have more of this woman. She sings from the same hymn book as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. She goes beyond the face value of issues or things by using her analytical mind. Keep asking why until you are comfortable with answers you seek DEVOID of fear or reservations. Then and only then will you be able to understand her perspective.
this video was old. when miriam annouced his candidancy she mentioned God and when she got sick she ask for prayers so this video is old. iba na ang paniniwala ni Miriam now
Miriam: There's no proof that God exists, and there's no proof that God does not exists.
This is actually covered in Theology. First you deduce or deconstruct the existince of God. You lists all possible reasons why there's no God. Then after that, you'll try to reconstruct the existince of God, and lists all the possible reasons why there's God. And surprisingly, you'll realized that there's more reason to believe that there's God after all, but your typical concepts and perceptions of Him will definitely change. Like Miriam said, God is not like an old man with white robe and roaming around the universe. God is something else, an ominpotent being or force, we can never understand it because it's beyond the human intelligence or senses. Because if u can understand the nature of God then, he's not God afterall. That's why we have so many religions fighting about their concept of God. Theology is an interisting subject.
Still watching this even up to this day. The best President we neved had.🥺🥺🥺🥺
watching the video this April2020 :)
I pray this woman will find her way back to God before her earthy body go back to dust.. May you be enlightened. God is real. God created you and give you talents, knowledge, your everything. Without God, you are NOTHING. God bless you.
Why? Atheism is a choice not a phase that anyone can just get over with. Respect others points and views. Just like what most atheist says "Pray for me, I'll think for you".
Shit like that doesn't make sense.
stop being narrow minded. READ the fucking bible and tell me if it adheres to the concept of an all-loving god.
undecidead3
How christian of you :) I've read the bible but still doesn't make sense.
This is where religion goes to die. You have no power here.
i dont see why you should judge her by her beliefs it is actually immaturity, if you are a devoter of religion then you should know that even in the bible it states about you should never judge someone, and besides god provides us a gift of freedom right? in which is god actually not the one you should always stand upon to all of decisions, but rather the humanity, nagregalo na siya ng freedom diba? nasa tao na ang gawa at ang decisyon kung paano gamitin ang tamang kapangyarihan at tamang pag ayus ng mundo. if ever sa mga nanghuhusga mas masahol pa kayo sa isang anti atheist
Keep it!.
just brilliant
un iba n ngbbgay ng comments dto akala mo kng cnu magagaling at matalino.. as if nmn kau ang nakaranas sa mga pinagdaanan nilang magina..

+Rico Gaviola Hoy hindi yan si Jesus. May youtube account ba si Jesus?
I was disappointed about meriam relationship to God, but I consider because she was an unbeliever, I know time will come you will understand that There's a wonderful purpose of God for your family God bless.
+Archie Magkidong Miriam doesn't want her to died, but god do it because he/she/it have a wonderful purpose of doing it In mysterious way.
I have two masters degree in Christian Theology...and I can say this woman has a mature faith, though many would judge her as sounding like an atheist. Her insights about life, faith and morality are amazing. I respect her.
It’s funny how your statement infers that being an atheist is a negative /bad thing. Since you studied Christian theology, I hope you actually read the Bible both old and New Testament and tell me if you still believe in Christian god. Lol
