Saying same thing i’ve been thinking and saying to people for a long time, man becomes arrogant and lead astray when absent from some higher vision of himself
oh , so people who commited crimes and spread pain and fear around the world in the name of god , are they saved too??????is it my actions or my beliefs which save me brother ?
I still find it funny during the "satanic panic" of the 70s thru the 90s in America (and by proxy Canada) Iron Maiden was seen and portrayed as evil by mainstream media. Seems like Bruce is one of the most down-to-earth people you could ever hope to meet.
It does matter what the higher power is though - things like justice, power, equality, safety, health, schnapps; these can all be tyrannical if we make them our god. It has to encompass and regulate all those and other aspects of life. Up the irons!
This is an excellent point. Taking the optimistic interpretation, higher power as “anything” should be “anything within a certain scope.” If that higher power and your faith and practices inspire you to be moral and decent how you conceive of it can vary. When Bruce says “it could be this glass” he’s being theatric, but he’s also coming close to the moral equivalence line that “it’s all the same, it could be anything … or nothing” that I would take issue with.
a majority of people do believe and have faith but will be too shy or embarrassed to say. Nicko a dear friend of his is a born again so im sure hes had some influence on him. for most people its a private affair.
About the moral compass: One can learn a very healthy moral way of living by simply examining other peoples behavior and what outcomes they have. Laws and customs of the place you live plus learning not just from your own, but most of all from others mistakes and successes. I've heard many believers ask that how can you be a morally good person if you don't read the bible? Why can't I? It's not your own moral view if it's forced to you. Take bits from here and bits from there and make up your own. There could be some good tips in the bible of course, as there could be some in the lyrics of a rock song.
That is true. For instance, look at the levels of anti-depressant use among women since feminism. So we can easily establish the culture since the 1960s for women has been a total negative. Then, look at the levels of disease amongst gay people, that lifestyle is a disgusting trashfire. Then look at the fulfilling, loving contentment couples experience raising children and raising them to do as they have done. So from watching peoples behaviour, it is without doubt the most moral life to find a partner, marry and reproduce. Which is exactly what Jesus told us to do.

God of the Bible. Why? Because I see order and complexity in the universe. Like a programmer making a virtual environment, it’s clear to me that reality was designed by an intelligence beyond our understanding. I believe the Judeo-Christian God is that intelligence because nothing in the creation story can be conclusively refuted. We all have a theory, aka informed opinion, I choose to believe this one. Also no other religion I know is less promoting of man than Christianity. Serve others? Love your enemies? Turn the other cheek? Lusting in your heart is as bad as adultery. No carnal man would ever promote this stuff. And then their is Jesus. I believe if one earnestly looks for truth, you will discover who the Higher Power is. There’s a guy on CZcams, Frank Turek who is a big time Christian apologetic (explains why we believe what we believe) and I’d point to him as a good source for all the questions I’m sure will arise from this post. Seek and you will find my friends.

From his album artwork and lyrics, he is almost certainly a freemason. Not hating on that. What God he has as his higher power may be a deist type entity or an interpretation of a moral law, creator God. All I will say is, I hope it's not Lucifer, because that isn't merely "a different God" he is a fallen angel in direct opposition to the most high of the Abrahamic faiths.

You don't need anything to have a moral compass though. This is just logical fallacy on Bruce's part. This is what religious people usually use to justify their beliefs in something with no evidence. You could say plenty of animals have a moral compass of sorts and they don't believe in gods in any shape.
Bruce said without looking outside of yourself for a higher power, you have no moral compass. He's absolutely right, and this is actually one of the best proofs there is of the existence of a good creator God. Because you have a conscience and intuitively know that good is better than evil, and you are naturally inclined to good, then God exists and is good. This goodness can only come from something greater than you. C.S. Lewis explains this far better than I can!
Hummm… sorry to disagree. I’m 100% atheist and I do have a moral compass. How do you explain that? I’m not perfect, but I know the difference between good and bad. I try to behave well in society. I treat people with respect. I don’t steal. I'm happy to live in a country where I pay taxes, because it helps everybody. I also respect the planet I live on. I give to charity (including a significant recent donation to Ukraine - what about you?). I never got into a fight. I’m an animal lover, etc., etc. So how is that possible? In the US, the incarceration rate is higher among believers than non-believers. Based on that alone, it seems that atheists have a better moral compass. What about all those priests abusing children. What happened to their God-given moral compass? There are many scientific experiments demonstrating that animals also have a moral compass. For example, they react when one is treated unfairly (ex less food). I don’t want to start a God fight but please just know that there are other ways to look at it beside the “God of the gaps” concept. Up the Irons.
@@mountainousterrain1704 There is no way anyone can "prove" the existence of God to anyone else. But the Kingdom of God in within, according to Jesus. So the proof is inside of you, if you care to seek it out. I think a lot of atheists are afraid to seek it out. (Not saying you are.) If you really want to know, turn your heart and mind to God and pray for him to show you truth. Then keep your heart and mind open to receive it, however it comes. This actually works if you are open. Personally I think atheism is the most ridiculous philosophy or religion of them all. Like I said, try reading C.S. Lewis, who makes the case for God probably better than anyone else I have read. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Up the irons!

@@mountainousterrain1704 Easy. You are a product of Christian thought. The US was founded by Christians who were the descendants of persecuted Christians who created a nation based around Christian thought merged with Enlightenment ideals. So you were raised Christian, educated Christian, and have been surrounded by Christianity all of your life, regardless of whether it was called that or not. So while you may not have a personal moral compass that is God Himself living inside you, nevertheless you have been indoctrinated, as it were, by society to accept Christian ideals. And as we see society reject the Christianity that it was built upon, we begin to see the fissures in the foundation that will eventually lead to our ruin as a nation.
LOL at seeking your Ego to be saved (by a guy who never existed) when your ego doesn't exist in the first place. NOTHING is dar.-ker than christianity. Period
opposite, if you believe in a god then you cannot have a moral compass your own self interest takes care of that in fact, anyone with a moral compass will find their way out of religion
You can't be moral without a god. Bruce, god knows I love you but I am soooo tired of hearing that. Morality is one of the things most easily explained by evolution and sociology, not god.
What ?!?! You can' have any moral compass without a higher power in existence ??? I don't need any fairy godfather in the sky to tell me what's right and wrong. What utter garbage.

And as we see society reject the Christianity that it was built upon, we begin to see the fissures in the foundation that will eventually lead to our ruin as a nation.
He can talk about himself right?!?!
It's Bruce himself. He is the 'god'.
Bullshit he knows exactly who he serves. And it’s not Jesus Lord and Savior.
Who is it then? Santa?! Or the other fictional baby, Harry Potter😜
Christianity is By FAR the dar.-kest form of narcissism that exists.
LOL at seeking your Ego to be saved (by a guy who never existed) when your ego doesn't exist in the first place. NOTHING is dar.-ker than christianity. Period
opposite, if you believe in a god then you cannot have a moral compass your own self interest takes care of that in fact, anyone with a moral compass will find their way out of religion
No moral compass utter shite
You can't be moral without a god. Bruce, god knows I love you but I am soooo tired of hearing that. Morality is one of the things most easily explained by evolution and sociology, not god.
If you need the terror of some sky being to be a moral and ethical person, that says volumes about you, not anyone else.
@@kenofken9458 Ironically, Amen to that, brother.
What ?!?! You can' have any moral compass without a higher power in existence ??? I don't need any fairy godfather in the sky to tell me what's right and wrong. What utter garbage.
