Feel free to enjoy this latest Spotify chart topper, which shall be stuck in your head as you watch me scribble on my board live from Santa's Grotto about why purging Christianity from our society in the name of Science was a profoundly terrible idea!

My parents are both atheists, so I was raised atheist. Now I resent them for it; atheism and hyper-rationality only served to isolate me and made me slip into nihilism and bitterness, I believed in immoral things because I was told morality did not exist. Today, I don’t belong anywhere.
I can only hope one day God will speak to me. ❤
If you're an American or were raised in a hyper-christian community I get why you'd potentially feel isolated, but your parents told you morality didn't exist, or that objective morality didn't exist? Never heard any atheist say ''Morality doesn't exist so go do whatever.''
@@razark9 i kept it very simple but you’re correct, what I meant was that all my life I had been surrounded by people telling me morality is just something people made up, so they tended to treat it quite frivolously, like since it’s just a social construct, it is fluid, ‘improvable’, and it can be subjective. If there’s apparently an exception that makes the rule for every case, then you can justify horrible things; if the people have monopoly on morality, they will become selfish. I don’t believe morality is mostly subjective anymore, I’ve seen where it goes.
Jesus waits for you
I recommend you go watch cliff knechtel. He is an American pastor for Christianity who try’s to use logic and reason to show why the Christian faith is the way to salvation. I was raised Christian but never really understood until I saw him speak, everything he said made perfect sense and rather than shut people down for questions he encouraged them. Questioning faith will not discredit religion but bring you closer to god. Jesus loves you and wants you to open your heart to him. And you do belong somewhere, you were created because you were wanted and you have infinite value.
Honestly I reccomend InspiringPhilosopy AKA Michael Jones & his friend Testify. Both of them make great videos, I don't agree with them on absolutely everything but if you want a more "rational" look at Christianity from an evidence based and scholarly viewpoint then those videos are well researched
Didn't churches used to be advocating science? Recently I found out a priest invent wine bottles that prevent explosion from pressure buildup that was thought to be poltergeist phenomenon?
They did, if you go back a few centuries, most scientists were priests or closely related to the church
Not just advocated, they often were places of science and learning. And the church would fund such scientific endeavors. Religion vs Science is a modern creation, and a strawman at that.
Churches via the investment in universities kickstarted science; Islam did the same until the Mongol invasions began and Baghdad got torched, then everything went to shit when Islam turned radical and forbade the "questioning" of Allah, which was a major driver of the learned people of that era (see for example Algebra). In the West the Soyence subverted the mostly Catholic universities and kickstarted the lunacies we have seen come out in the last century.
The Church had a heavy hand when it came to the start of modern science. The church is essentially what started what we know of as modern science. For example Kepler (the founder of modern astronomy)was a devout Christian. Many educational institutions were started by Christians such as Yale and Harvard. The idea that Christianity and Science contradict each other is simply false.

@@hegelscat9423 Haha what?! Lol.
The 12 days of Sciencemas is a true work of art
Hearing peer reviewed study 12 times made my brain melt.
@@JohnSmith-rk7zyme to :p please help I’m in pain
I am speechless.
I have done the level 1-2-3 from Atheism, funnily enough.
1) Believed (because that is truly what Atheism asks of you) the Atheistic principles and genesis-story.
2) Realized I had no reason to fully believe what Atheism claimed, that it itself was cultish, turned Agnostic and figured the question of whether God existed or not was obsolete for me.
3) Realized the importance of Religion as a common standpoint for values, morals and culture of a civilization, and that ideologies simply flourished in the vacuum of Religion to replace them. Espoused Christian ethics/mindset despite lacking belief.
1) ''because that is truly what Atheism asks of you'' It is not. Atheism has nothing to do with ''believing'' in any principles or ''genesis-stories''. It's a lack of belief in gods. That's it.
2) It doesn't claim anything. It's not a claim. It's a lack of conviction in a claim. And agnosticism isn't mutually exclusive to atheism. Most atheists are also agnostic.
3) You don't need religion to have values, morals or culture.
You have no idea what atheism is, what the word means or what most atheists think as there's no real unity of thought. Your misconceptions about them comes from christian misinformation almost guaranteed so for that reason I don't think you were ever an atheist.
Im Christian and the 12 days of sciencemas had me on the floor
The worst 6 mins in my life 😆
He had me at the nerdy voice.
Then I saw this comment.
Then it began. 😬
5:47
27 minutes in something occurred in my brain that didn't occur previously
Regarding this degeneracy that seems to be on the rise - the overwhelming majority of it takes place online
This tells me that there is something in the human condition that acts as a stopgap for in-person degeneracy
It's either shame, guilt, or a simple narcissistic fear of repercussions
It's quite likely that this 'thing' is what shaped religions' moral compasses
Yes and No. The Real Problem is, We Pretend Religion is This Thing that exists independent of Reality and Independent of Us, Our Observations of the World, and that is Not Scientific or Philosophical. In Reality, Religion and Philosophy are the Same Thing and Religion is Based Upon Observed Reality. Religion is not "Based on", Our Lived Experiences, so much as it is Our Experiences and Observations and History. The Very Concept of Religion We Use in the West Only Began in The 1500's. I am Not saying "People did not believe in any gods before the 1500's", but the Idea that beleif in God is different than Beleif that other People Exists, or Rocks Exist, it is simply Something You Understood was Real. The Idea of Religion as a Personally Helded yet Communal Beleif System is itself Wholly the Product of Western Culture and of The Protestant Reformation and The Rise of Nationalism.
The Real Problem is, We pretend there is This Thing called Religion that Exists Outside of Us and is All About Only The Supernatural even as We Admit it is about Morals in The Real World and that has No Connection to Us, when it is Us. Those Who Say They Have No Religion Create THeir Own Mythologies and Narratigves and it is just another Religion. Secular Huimanism is a Religion and even use to Admit that, just Read THe Humanist Manifesto 1. People can't Escape Religion since Religion is Not Something that was Created and is Not External to us, it is Emergent in Our COnsciousness and is SImply the Philosophical Understanding We Hold of Our World.
Also, the Shame and GUilt that Stops Degeneracy is Not Native to Humanity. It is Because the Deeply Engrained Christian Morality has Not Really been Completely Vanquished. But WSe see More and More Out and Proud Degerneracy in Real Life as well, such as Drag Queen Story Hour, or a Desire to have Sex Marches Pubolically in California, or even Removing Pedophilia as a Crime.
Once completley Eroded from its Christian Basis, We Won;t have a Utopia. We Will have Moral Degeneracy.
Those things exist regardless of religion shame,gulit,and fear of repercussions are socially developed phenomenon that exists as an ingroup regulation of members this isn't something that religion invented it exist before religion it just that religions adapt and also those are just horrible ways of setting up a moral system that could easily be abused shame can be used as away to discriminate against certain people group in society like women for example and also what is this rise of degeneracy ? alot of people thrown around the word degeneracy whenever to describe something they don't like and it can vary from person to person especially considering that person personal beliefs and ideology so the question is asked what degeneracy ? what is this specific degeneracy ? what is the nature of this degeneracy ? what exactly do you mean by degeneracy ?
It's called a conscience
@@skwills1629 when has humanism and I am assuming secular humanism here but it's most likely you don't know that humanism is a vast and expansive philosophical tradition with religious variants in it but besides that when has humanism (secular humanism) admitted to being a religion and also stop misusing the word religion my goodness I find you type of people annoying you call anything you don't like a religion and most of the times it's very superficial comparisons but besides that point how is humanism (secular humanism) a religion at all ? and worst yet you called religion and philosophy the same which is incredibly idiotic but not entirely since you do have philosophy of religion and explicitly religious philosophies so their is some nuance that can be said on that but if where just talking in general overall philosophy then your wrong there are subtle and drastic differences between the two and it would be foolish to say the two are the same as it would make communism,fascism,Anarchism,liberalism,libertarianism etc all religions which would just muddle the definition and also the degeneracy you listed are very interesting drag queen storytimes how are these degenerate exactly "people marching out about sex" (paraphrasing) you make it sound like it some horrible thing but provide no reason for why it's wrong but the only reason it exist is simply because if your entire sexual orientation was discriminated against for thousands of years I am pretty sure you will celebrate the freedom and major strids that has been made in liberating you from the shackles of oppression once again where is the degeneracy ? and one more point what the fuck do you mean people are legalizing pedophilia who ? where is the citation,source,or article saying this who's legalizing pedophilia ? did you just pull that out of your ass
@@IAmAlpharius20 - The Point is, Religious Beleif is Not some Unfounded Extra but Innate to Humanity and Modern Atheists need to Stop pretending it is Eternal to Human Nature and Only about Beleif in gods.

@@theboombody He was a satanist.
@@theboombody So did Darwin, Mendel, and the scientist who proposed the Big Bang. But don't tell reddit.
Was raised Christian but In my teens and early 20s i became an anti natalitist and atheist. Like many i saw many wrong things in churches and rejected the religion as a whole. Last year i came across William lane Craig videos and later trent horn and many others, and slowly became convinced of Gods existence and returned to Christ. There was no deep personal experience, just FACTS and LOGIC. I recommend you and anyone reading to give it a watch. In our society we don't come across many good reasons to believe in God, it's instead seen as an irrational arbitrary decision ("faith"), you even said that in another video but it couldn't be further from the truth.
THIS
it was the same for me.
But i also want to give you a recommendation.

The guy is great at giving information about the Christian faith
Be careful with William Lane Craig. God used him to speak to you. But he's human.
Do not place your faith in apologists, they make mistakes/misinterpretations and will let you down at one moment or another.
Put your faith in Christ.
@@Gabriel-co8nz I agree. And also remember that God, yes does exist through facts and logic, but also desires a personal relationship with you, don't give that up completely.
FIVE NOSE RIIIIIIINGS
“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”

Return to the Lord , and He will fill your life with true meaning and purpose .. why suffer eternal punishment alongside Satan when you can return to the Lord and be saved from the misery Satan is doomed to !! 💯
As a Christian , I come to help those who are willing to understand that following Christ does NOT make your life easier .. following Christ makes you stronger in the storms you face and that Christianity is not some religion or set of pious rules to follow , it’s a relationship between God and man
May you all come to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior , and in that acceptance that you all come to experience the truest meaning of peace and salvation 🙏🏽✝️💯

They think Christianity is some "religion" when it's actually about love, respect, salvation, and Jesus Christ. You can not make it to Heaven through works only faith in Christ. He who denies that Jesus is Christ is the antichrist. God bless you all and may Jesus fill you with his love.

@@saadiq2424faith without works is dead, but other than that, amen.
As a former Atheist, I would not have hung around long without finding the Lord. I was barely hanging on right when I cried out to the Lord, begging him to help me, if he was real, that is.
Which, he is. He is most certainly real, and he is Soo good. Without Christ, id be carrying everything myself still. Every single mistake, embarrassment, painful memory, everything in life. Id still be knowing that something was very wrong, but having no idea what it was, so I was aimlessly trying anything to fix this thing that felt soo wrong. I now know what it is and that feeling is no longer with me.
He put it all on the line for a damned sinner that didn't deserve it like me. He did that for ALL of us. I owe him everything. Thank you Lord, for everything in life. Good and bad. Everything.
Life isn't perfect and I still have problems, and still struggle at times in life. But the Lord is there, he listens, and I know there is more than just this. I have a purpose, I have a future, I have hope, and I have faith. I never had any of those before. Because before the Lord I saw no future, had no hope, had no purpose except whatever I came up with, nothing made me happy, never had hope, and just lived as my own god.
How cold, miserable, and lonely that was.
And that's how I lived for most of my life. Too strong and too prideful to come to God, yet soo miserable, broken and cold inside.
Praise the Lord.❤
Did you know that C S Lewis (author of the allegorical marina series) is in level 3 and has some of the most interesting ideas and thoughts about religion that I’ve ever seen. Also did you know he was re-converted by J R R Tolkien (author of the hobbit and the lord of the rings).
I've recently found your channel, and I feel that listening to your voice and hearing what you have to say, is filling a hole in me, that I had not realised existed.
I am thankful for all the work you invest in your videos and I love you!
Bit disappointed you abandoned the faith Alex, but I can understand why, for we live in a period we're many people become disillusioned with what they once believed in.
It is the negative consequence of him choosing to base his religion on his politics and not the other way around.

P.S. Jung had an idea about christian and anti-christian eras. The anti-christian would be characterised by what we see now - materialism and so on. He believed it was a mistake to see them as foes, and they ought to be unified halves of a whole. Similar to the idea of thesis, anti-thesis, synthesis.
Question then being: what is the synthesis of Christianity and atheism? What do they have in common?
Hope I'm not intruding in this space by attempting to answer the question.
If I were to guess what a synthesis between "atheism" and "Christianity" would look like, I bet it would be akin to a "Self-aware Myth." That is to say, a post-atheist Christianity would reject literalism without plunging into fictionalism.
In other words, the Christian myths would be seen for what they are--stories which are not literally true but which are transcendently true. This version of Christianity would have to successfully convince modern atheists that the nature of Ultimately Reality is not amenable to reason/rationality, but is rather best captured and understood only when intuition, emotion and paradox are embraced. As such, Christianity wouldn't have to claim to be literally true, to nonetheless be a useful vehicle for communicating otherwise ineffable insights into the nature of Ultimate Reality.
Of course, in order for such a successful synthesis to occur atheists would have to abandon their dogmatic materialism/realism, and embrace a more idealist metaphysics.
@@ianbaez1998 this assuming if Christians themselves don't abandon their own dogmatism
@@miguelatkinsonI'm a Christian here. What do you mean by our dogmatism? Has there been a time where someone who claimed to be Christian gave you a bad experience?
@@saadiq2424 dogma is the technically correct word for a lot of Christian teaching, even if the word has a negative connotation in ordinary speech
@@saadiq2424 They use Dogma as a tool to attack religions. But it just means ideas beleved to be true. "a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true". If you think for 5 mins there are loads of Dogmas Athiests beleve that you can throw back in there faces and make them sound stupid for saying dont beleve Dogmas etc. Examples e=mc2 , Your heart pumps blood, Finace saving money is good.

when Dr. Fauci said he was science, I lost all faith in science
Don't blame science for that. Science itself has nothing to do with corruption !
"I am become science, destroyer of lives"
Science is something that requires faith now? That's news to me. And I mean.. Fauci was a scientist and his role was to speak for the science he worked with.
@@razark9 You have to have faith the Scientists are not lying through their teeth(which they are).
@TheBrazilRules No. No faith is needed. There are hundreds of thousands of scientists across like 15 separate fields of science and part of the job is scrutinizing each other's work. You're essentially saying hundreds of thousands if not millions of scientists are not doing any work at all, but just being told what to think and nobody is checking up on anything.
How, exactly does this channel have so little traction? You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and deserve much more attention. I will pray to the Omnisiah for the blessings of the algorithm.
This is absolutely amazing mate, keep up the good work.
To the Education point at 20:00, I would add that it wasn't just that scientists were Christians, but that monks, ie people who dedicated their life to God, were the "scientists" of society. There was no other group that filled that niche. Take something as "sciency" as evolution. There was a monk, who lived sometime in 1000 ad, who theorized just that. That animals and people would change in response to environment. And so on and so forth. And this confluence between science and religion is not new, before Christianity arrived in Europe, the Ancient Greeks were searching for how the universe was made and came up with the Logos as the force that created the universe. Now anyone familiar with Christianity, will recognize this word. While people deride this part of Ancient Greek culture as "just philosophy" it was very much religious and became the reason for why Christianity spread so quickly amongst the Greeks.
Great vid! The three levels kind of describe my own path. Raised by atheists, but in the process of getting my philosophy bachelor's came to believe in God.
To that end, anyone interested in better defending a religious worldview or just learning how to resist the dogmatic scientism of our age, I really recommend two books by Bernardo Kastrup: 1. Why Materialism is Baloney and 2. More than Allegory.
Which god is it then ?
@@miguelatkinson I believe in God as he is classically defined in the monotheistic tradition: as the "Ground of Being" and/or as "Being-itself."
God is not a being among beings, but is rather the very essence of being itself. Another way to put it: God is the timeless, spaceless pure consciousness which is the eternal witness of all and is, in fact, identical with all things.
My conception of God is very similar to that of Advaita Vedanta's "Brahman" or Ibn Arabi's conception of Allah as described in "Wahdat Al-Wujud."
A great production. Very true. With the rise of gig work and the rejection of a holy day of rest, we are seeing a more stressed out and depressed population in much of the "first world".
The foundation that we dance upon once knew the importance of not "chasing that bag".

Let’s welcome Richard Dawkins to level 3!
GK CHesterton, quite possibly the one philosopher everybody needs to study and adhere to. People need to start studying some Chesterton's fence, the bedrock of conservatism, it's tradition for a reason AKA Historical consequentialism. Everything that is tradition has withstood tests it was never meant to endure and never expected to face.
Also, Richard Hanania is 2.5, definitely a step above those new atheists, but fails to realise that we shouldn't allow momuments to Satan. Satan bad, therefore no momuments to Satan
I don't hold the fact that you aren't a Christian against you, but it was very clear just by looking at your estimations of society. Over here in America a good 60% of society is still christian.

How exactly does "The loss of freedom is worth the security" jive with good ol' American Patriotic Freedoms?
Genuine question, phrasing aside.
I always understood American Freedom as being "I can be as free as I want as long as I don't infringe on other people's freedom." And I think that accounts for this loss of freedom, the maturity of self accountability. After all, Jesus said "Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other command greater than these."
isn't the word sinful the equivalent of haram in Christianity? stemming from the 7 sinful extremes of lust, wrath, envy, pride, sloth, greed and gluttony called the 7 deadly sins.

Altho I knew all of this the video was still great, I think you should make a video about the diffrences between Eastern and Western Europe and how this will relate to the future.

You must have a source of ethics for Culture, Economics, Education, Laws, Media, and Health. Atheism says that there is no absolute ethics, rather that ethics evolve as humanity does. Their notion is that the ethic of 'do no harm' is enough. But how do you define 'harm'? Atheism's inability to consistently define harm leaves open the door for horrendous things to be accepted that people wiser than our generation foresaw and forbade.
My problem with the "Step 1" is naivety of being Christian. It prevents you from exploring some dark aspects of world and makes you completely defenceless against those who explored them. "Step 3" on other hand is more painful but also more mature and self-responsible.
I was a Christian my whole life, but I am no pushover. Just because I have to be good regardless of hardship, does not mean I believe everyone is good or has good intentions.
Old video I know, but I disagree with the proposal that level 1 and 3 are basicly the same. People need to feel on their own skin why something exists in order to appreciate it, othervise it'll be seen as just a hindrance and level 2-s will burn everything to the ground.
I would add a level 4, I was raised an atheist, I had little to no exposure to religion and here I am, devout Catholic.
Alex hexagon great video and marry Christmas 🎄🎁✨
Another comment of thoughts after I watched the video to it's end/conclusion. While religion has been important for molding the identity of the modern civilization I highly doubt it is really the bedrock in most cases and if people would stop being religious, It won't necessarily cause chaos, disorder and collapse. I believe that some sort of ideology/belief system is an important component in creating and defining civilization, society and it's institution, however, if civilization survives long enough, has open minded society or has contact with other civilizations, with some combination of these factors, it is inevitable that older belief system will be replaced at some point and norms, society and it's traditions will shift according to the new system. Even if suddenly the main religion of a certain civilization stops being relevant, that doesn't mean that people will eat each other alive and become hedonistic demons causing civilizational collapse, not necessarily at least, it just means that people and civilization as a whole will have to find a new answer to the questions older ideology/belief system tried to solve. Yes that might be struggle and might take time to sort things out, but that doesn't mean you should just blindly support old system and refuse to try to improve and adapt. Just because the environment in which a plant lives and develops shifts for example from a sunny and dry climate to a cold and dry climate doesn't mean that plant adopted for previous environment will die, in fact, it might be even better off than before. Same applies for any other civilization which isn't fundamentally flawed in some way and struggles from outside pressures before the change.
So basically, I would disagree that the religion is the bedrock of a civilization, it is more like a blueprint to civilization which dictates how the structure will be built upon, and while change and even absence of coherent blueprint for some time isn't necessarily fatal, it also has to keep purpose of the older version in mind and what purpose it serves and what problems it aims to solve and how those problems could be approached differently and in a better manner.
I would also disagree with your 3 levels of civilizational understanding as there are more core mindsets to be had and it is more of a spectrum in reality.
There is also level of understanding which rejects religion itself but keeps the moral code, societal norms and worldview as prescribed by the religion.
Merry Christmas

"...even the economics come from Christianity..."

The picture of the tree of colored beakers and the topper of plasma ball reminds me of a meme I once saw that was similar that was captioned "oh chemistree oh chemistree." I thought it was funny being a chemistry enthusiast.
Science emerged and grew from religious people that saw it as a way to learn about and even worship God. Divorcing science from religion brought about some strange people opposed to science and reason that think God is unreasonable and His creation can't be studied. One case being the strange flat earth Christians when such an existence is relatively new.

The commitment to the intro
Europe was at its weakest during the height of Christendom: when the Catholic Church held sway over most of Europe during the Crusades. In a time of such unity Spain was an Emirate and the original heartland of Christendom [Near Asia/Middle East] had been thoroughly converted to Islam. Europe began to recover after Christendom splintered into two factions and reached an apex of power when secularism began to appear during the Enlightenment. The empires of Britain, France, Portugal, and Spain began in the latter half of Christian dominion, yet continued relatively fine despite overall secularization. The more religious Spanish and Portuguese Empires fell much more rapidly than the secular French and British empires.
By the 1800s, when the very foundation of Biblical belief was being analyzed and critiqued, Europe controlled most of the world. It was only after the revival of Christianity and its byproducts in the 1900s that Europe regressed to being prey for Turks, Arabs and Africans as it was when the Churches of Rome and Constantinople guided it.
Some good historical points there to bug the neo-traditionalists, except that Europe is not currently 'prey for Turks, Arabs and Africans'. It regularly slaughters Arabs and Africans, or rather supports its boss, the US, doing it, and exploits their countries economically. The import of immigrants is insignificant compared to that and it is also actually harmful for the countries they come from.
I paused the video to read the 10 commandments. Hilarious!
I'm curious. What theological issues do you have with Christianity?
Amazing singing 👏 👏 👏
Great video dude!!!
I’d argue that level 3 is two levels: the first where one still doesn’t believe Christianity is actually true, just conducive for civilization, while the second actually believes that Christianity is not just a helpful societal construct, but an actually true worldview
For well over 300 years (ever since Newton vs Leibniz) we have defined 0 and 1 (also their geometric counterparts) as follows:
0 = not-necessary
0D = not-necessary
1 = necessary
1D = necessary
(Newton won so above are his definitions. Newton conflated "natural" with "necessary" and was largely ignorant of Geometry.)
A year ago quantum physics proved that Leibniz was actually correct (the universe is "not locally real") which looks like this:
0 = necessary
0D = necessary
1 = not-necessary
1D = not-necessary
Since Mathematics > Physics > Chemistry > Biology... the implications of the definitions of 0 and 1 changing are world altering...
Zero is the most important number in mathematics and is both a real and an imaginary number with a horizon through it.
It's geometric counterpart zero-dimensional space is the most important dimension in physics and is both a real and an imaginary dimension with an event horizon through it.
Quarks are zero-dimensional color-charged electricity and the Monad is the zero-dimensional space binding our quarks together with the strong force; the hue-monad (or soul). Read Leibniz's Monadology 📖.
Black holes are ten-dimensional:
Zero is the only number with a horizon through it.
Zero-dimensional space is the only dimension with an event horizon through it (1D-9D are nonzero dimensions).
So, has to include a 0. Got it.
0 and 10 are the first two times we encounter zero in the natural number system (1-9 are nonzero numbers). Their geometric counterparts 0D (quantum) and 10D (cosmological) would then be the event horizon boundaries of this side of the mirror universe.
Check out NASA's mirror universe theory they've had it since the 1950s but could'nt actually release it until a year ago since it counters Einstein's relativity ( 3+1 space-time where 0 is not-necessary).
0D monad
1D, 2D, 3D are spatial (space) dimensions
1D line
2D width
3D height
4D, 5D, 6D are temporal (time) dimensions
4D length
5D breadth
6D depth
7D, 8D, 9D are spectral (energy) dimensions
7D continuous
8D emission
9D absorption
10D black hole
The other side of the event horizon at the zero-of yourself (near horizon) is God.
The other side of the event horizon of a black hole (far horizon) is not God.
Theology is Theos and Logos. That's El and Elohim.
El "alone" is on the other side of the event horizon at the zero-of yourself. Elohim "singularity" is on this side of the event horizon through the two sides of 0D.
Elohim "singularity" is how we see God from this side.
(the event horizon stops us from seeing El)
That's the Holy Trinity just imagine an event horizon between Theos (top of pyramid) and Logos (bottom of pyramid).
Genesis 1 Elohim (Father and Son "who are one") and Ruach Elohim (Holy Spirit) is the best possible hue-monad (soul). Quantum singularity.
They created the two types of quarks which this entire contingent and less real side of the mirror universe is made of: two down, one up (male) and two up, one down (female).
Genesis 2 is a cosmological plurality named Yah Tsebaoth (Yaldabaoth) and that's our true enemy. He's playing all sides against one another and claiming to be God but he has no titles just his dumbass names and epithets (nicknames).
Amos 5
Names of God Bible
27 I will send you into exile beyond Damascus, says Yahweh, whose name is Elohe Tsebaoth.
Amos 5
King James Version
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.
OT:
Genesis 1 Elohim is a title.
Genesis 2 Yahweh Elohim is a name.
NT:
Christ is a title.
Jesus Christ is a name (this is Yahweh Elohim from Genesis 2 all over again, faking like he's God, twisting the message...).
Quran:
Ilah is a title.
Allah is a name. (Yahweh Elohim from Genesis 2 has 99 names in Islam. Allah is merely Yahweh’s middle name "Elohe" but in Arabic).
[Monad in philosophy/cosmogony]:
Monad (from Greek μονάς monas, "singularity" in turn from μόνος monos, "alone") refers, in cosmogony, to the Supreme Being, divinity or the sum "I AM" of all things.
The concept was reportedly conceived by the Pythagoreans and may refer variously to a single source acting alone, or to an indivisible origin, or to both.
The concept was later adopted by other philosophers, such as Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, who referred to the Monad as an *elementary particle.*
It had a *geometric counterpart,* which was debated and discussed contemporaneously by the same groups of people.
[In this speculative scenario, let's consider Leibniz's *Monad,* from the philosophical work "The Monadology", as an abstract representation of *the zero-dimensional space that binds quarks together* using the strong nuclear force]:
1) Indivisibility and Unity: Monads, as indivisible entities, mirror the nature of quarks, which are deemed elementary and indivisible particles in our theoretical context. Just as monads possess unity and indivisibility, quarks are unified in their interactions through the strong force.
2) Interconnectedness: Leibniz's monads are interconnected, each reflecting the entire universe from its own perspective. In a parallel manner, the interconnectedness of quarks through the strong force could be metaphorically represented by the interplay of monads, forming a web that holds particles together.
3) Inherent Properties: Just as monads possess inherent perceptions and appetitions, quarks could be thought of as having intrinsic properties like color charge, reflecting the inherent qualities of monads and influencing their interactions.
4) Harmony: The concept of monads contributing to universal harmony resonates with the idea that the strong nuclear force maintains harmony within atomic nuclei by counteracting the electromagnetic repulsion between protons, allowing for the stability of matter.
5) Pre-established Harmony: Monads' pre-established harmony aligns with the idea that the strong force was pre-designed to ensure stable interactions among quarks, orchestrating their behavior in a way that parallels the harmony envisaged by Leibniz.
6) Non-Mechanical Interaction: Monads interact non-mechanically, mirroring the non-mechanical interactions of quarks through gluon exchange. This connection might be seen as a metaphorical reflection of the intricacies of quark-gluon dynamics.
7) Holism: The holistic perspective of monads could symbolize how quarks, like the monads' interconnections, contribute holistically to the structure and behavior of particles through the strong force interactions.
[Monad in mathematics, science and technology]:
Monad (biology), a historical term for a simple unicellular organism
Monad (category theory), a construction in category theory
Monad (functional programming), functional programming constructs that capture various notions of computation
Monad (homological algebra), a 3-term complex
Monad (nonstandard analysis), the set of points infinitesimally close to a given point
I guess level 5 is understanding the deep psychological meaning of religion and mythology, and level 6 is understanding the higher truth that is beyond facts, which underpins all religions, and level 7 is fully embracing all of the lower levels and realizing that you have seen God and died, and death loses its grip on you.
Level 6 implies that all religions are true somehow, which is not the case. And you aren't the first one to come up with this, there have been plenty of attempts at creating the "ultimate" religion, that encompasses all. They just suck, with the most successful attempt at this being islam, even if it only focused on a small number of religions.
@@lamename2010 I don't think you understand level 6 at all.
@@Michael-Archonaeus "underpins all religions". I think I understood your understanding of it quite well. See above.
@@lamename2010 No.
This Intro 😂😂 0:01
If you want a country where the Enlightenment never really happened, and religion is allowed to do what it wishes, you have a number of choices. I would start with Saudi Arabia, and see how you get on there. Good luck, you will need it!
This is delusional. Saudi Arabia isn’t nearly as theocratic as you seem to think.
@@doncorleone1553 That can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.
Then there's Iran which became a theocracy which saw quality of life decrease, freedom of expression decreased and there was political repression and media became strictly controlled, the economy sank and the country saw a massive ''brain drain'' where scientists and other professionals left the country affecting things like education, healthcare and technology. This could happen in christian countries too. In fact you could compare the dark ages with Iran's descent into theocracy. This is what you get when religions are mixed with state and given full control.
@@razark9Religions didn’t have full control in Medieval Europe. Medieval Europe was a power struggle between four main groups, the Crown (Kings and Emperors), the Nobility (Lords and Knights), the Church, and the merchants. The Crown and Church worked together, but also often found themselves at odds with one another, such as the dispute between the Pope and Holy Roman Emperor, or the dispute between Henry II of England and Archbishop Saint Thomas Becket, which ended in the latter’s murder.
Unlike the Islamic world, where the religion and state are directly united (Mohammed was a political and military leader as much as he was a religious one), Jesus rarely discussed politics “My Kingdom is not of this world”. As a result, the Church was a largely independent and supranational organization (especially in the West).
@@konstantinosnikolakakis8125 There are examples of them being given full control, or at the very least way too much power. Even the power to excommunicate or banish kings. So in many cases they held more power than the kings themselves. And when the church held this much power it rarely lead to good things, but repression of information and unspeakable crimes against humanity.
That music has me back in Blackrock Mountain.
I was a level 2, became level 3 after seeing the damage I've caused.
I would say there are two kinds of level 3s - either they let the level 2s take over and eliminate all the level 1s or they take action against them (like Russia and the Muslim groups are doing)
What exactly is Russia doing with this? Also, do you really think Russian government is the only Christian group against this stuff? Or that all Muslims think this way?
Great video Alex. I was wondering if your editor was taking commissions.
Trust The Sciencemas™️!
Didn't the BioShock games touch on this? "No gods or kings, only man"
God is outside the laws of physics. That why you'll never find him
I wish those of different religions were less hostile to one another, we already have enough problems with atheism, we shouldnt be stumbling blocks for each other.
That’s denial of human nature. While we are innately prosocial, resource insecurity and greed tends to make peace short-lived
I'm like number three but found Jesus in a new light and stayed with him and will never ever lose his selfless gift. The blood of Christ has washed away my sins and immoral ways.
What exactly in christian theology makes you disagree with it?
Probably creationism, the atonement, the trinity, and/or the brutality of the biblical God. Those are some of my issues at least
@@DroknarsForge4198 About the trinity, I can add up that the trinity is perfectly coherent logically.
There is no contradiction in the trinity, neither deductively nor inductively.
We have the presupposition that every ontological entity has to be both in appearance and reality an elemental unit.
The thing is, this is not a tautology, but a contingency. There is no logical contradiction. It can't be disproven in any way. It is perfectly valid that an onthological entity can be assigned a quantity which isn't one or singleness, and be no contradictions.
The only problem is our desire to exclude everything that seems counterintuitive to our nature. But that's our problem. Not the Bible's.
About the brutality of the biblical God, those arguments only and only work when you actively and purposefully ignore the fact that God acts justly. God doesn't enjoy destroying nations, or people.
When God makes a catastrophe, it isn't him a brutal god. Because God is perfect, flawless, just and good.
The real optic is learning to read the book properly, and realize that God wasn't a violent animal. But US were, in such a way that humans were SO wicked and evil, that we've left no other option for an all-loving and perfect god, to conclude we had to be destroyed.
That's the real perspective. It isn't God the evil one here. It's us. We are so bad, that a perfect and flawless being is left with no other option than extreme measures. Neglecting this truth, is admitting oneself is egoistical beyond repair, just as the ones killed.
And philosophical creationism is actually more believable than you think. It has been proven countless times that radiometric dating and molecular clocks are anything but reliable. Their margin of error is too big, compared to most time-measuring techniques. There are 20+ other dating methods which all have lower margins of error and suggest that earth has around 6000 years. Wether we like it or not.
And about attonement, people dont understand that when it comes to paying someones debts, good behaviours don't nulify bad behaviours.
Good actions don't satisfy the damage done by bad actions. You are not supposed to be praised for doing good, thats what you are actually supposed to do in the first place, it's your job, your responsibility.
This means, the payment of sin, could probably not be additive. This suggests that the methods from one could do justice are either substractive or of another type we still don't understand.
Even Job understood that humans don't see the big picture, but just a part of it. Just because it appears counterintuitive to oneself, that doesn't mean it is.
Up until now, while it's a hot topic, theres a big consensus that nobody really knows how attonement works. But, to put it simple, just because you don't know how your car works, that doesn't mean cars are an illusion and don't exist.
When you humble yourself and see everything through the lense of logic, it becomes quite clear those topics aren't as crazy as they portray them to be.
I know this comment won't reach the entire internet. But I hope this comment helps you to understand a bit better those topics, which at first glance seem crazy, but when you think of it, academically, rigurously, suddendly they are really sensible. If it helps you, then for me it's enough.
Bless you and have a good day!
I'm happy to finally be a level 3.
Dear Alex, please do not sing anymore! ('cause Ozzy and King Diamond are gonna be jealous of you... Just, please, don't do it)
I'm... very confused by how you got to this conclusion of all things.
You hit so many things right on the head. Especially the point of the lacking cultural bedrock. But why on earth should religion be the cultural bedrock? You haven't even seemed to have entertained the idea of having another form of cultural bedrock like collective solidarity, or just anything that doesn't hinge on deeply irrational thinking.
Anybody who has ever had a class of neurophisiology knows the human mind, the human neural network is basically analogous to a statistical model. This is the human mind naturally works on inductive, associative, statistical-probabiliatical logic.
This means that association, confidence, security of a certain truth, or "faith" is a core functionality of human nature.
Computers run on bare metal analogic circuitry, which tries to resemble deductive logic. We just run inductive logic in our bare metal.
Faith is just a core characteristic of how the human mind works. Everything in your mind, every decision has some sort of faith involved.
