I lost my best friend 2 years and 2 days after this video was posted. I am an atheist, but I can tell you that I never wanted more to believe in an after life as I do now that he's dead. The devastating truth is though that my friend is sadly a mere pile of ashes buried in a tackle box and I will never see him again. I still visit his grave and talk as though he was there. I still vainly wish I could see him again.

I cease to exist every night after I stop dreaming and before I start dreaming again. Time ceases to exist. I could not tell the difference between a second and a million years.

@Bob Smith NDE brings up a lot of problems for Theists. First of all : It is quite common that religious persons have NDE with symbolism out of their peticular religion. Not of one special kind of "Visions" (like for example every one sees Jesus). No, muslims see islamic symbolism, Christians stuff that comes from their believes and so on with every other religion. So, if every believer in a god of a kind, which one is right. 2nd : You can reproduce similar "NDE experiences" under clinical conditions without the danger of death, it is mostly misfiring in the brain and a shortage of oxygen. Interesting enough is the case that Atheists see "the Tunnel", Light and have similar Feelings in NDEs, but rarely any religious Symbolism. And if, than they are Symbols of their former belief. That leads me (and other Atheists) to the asumption that NDEs are nothing more than signs of a malfunctioning brain filled with stuff the person believes or read about.

@7458 As an atheist, I dont believe heaven and hell exists, no "afterlife" no "reincarnation". However I do believe that since my consciousness arised from nothing (since atoms and particles don't have underlying consciousness) that once I pass, it is only logical that "eternal oblivion" is not the end. Perhaps for your identity/EGO, but for experience of consciousness? I dont think so. "After you die will be like before you were born" already entails that there isn't eternal non-experience.

A transistor radio without the spark of energy to make it function is as dead as we will be when the time comes yet the radio is designed to transmit and receive signals. The radio can break down in operation, move to wrong channels, wires or other components break but the spark of energy ie the battery still functions. remove the battery the radio is now dead. bury it, cremate or whatever then place that battery in another radio of similar construction and it kicks in to operation. Yes the battery can be removed and measured as it is tangible unlike the soul. This is how I see the soul, as the battery of life that will reincarnate in another of similar construct.

Leo MacDonald at what point is that soul assigned?

The basic characteristic of consciousness or spirit is that whatever it may act upon will always have a reason, even if an action doesn't seem to have any subjective reason, then also an existantial or emotional reason would be there for its action. Because it works out of intention. Thats its characteristics. So despite memory and tendencies being alterable, the consciousness and its intention or reason to be here cannot disappear, and clearly all awareness simply looks for expansion, this is apparent from nature. Therefore, even if you try altering it, the same consciousness will again attenpt in building memories and tendencies until its goal is fulfilled, which lies in the acceptence of existantial reality and its own desire to expand its awareness to it. Otherwise, whatever alteration one attempts, it will only give temporary relief until reality at some point hits its characteristics. Life converted into action brings reason and intention of some sort existantially

I just had a guy say on this video that without god life is meaningless and that if there is no god we are all accidents uhhhh first off to that particular guy I'm not an athiest not would I label myself as christain or whatever I simply believe there is or could be a god but we don't understand him\it or her or whatever that god is with our finite human mind I used to be super into the christain religion and it made me more depressed it didn't make me happy I felt like I was being abused by other christains and or believers and I'm glad that I don't go around people like that also to say I'm selish and imply that is a bad thing is really black and white because what I was saying was we all have a slefish side and it's ok as long as it's in moderation you don't need faith or religion or god or Jesus to be selfless I accually do do things for other people last week my parents church they go to and I sometimes go with them just because it's something to had a thing where people could paint a painting of their choice to give to homeless people in need you don't need to talk about god Jesus or spiritually to help other people also you can be happy without religion and there's nothing wrong with that in my book and even if we are all just accidents wtf is the big deal who cares??? I still enjoy my life for how ever long I will live on this Earth and if there's an afterlife there's nothing I can do or not do about it so why worry lol

No it´s not. Have you ever observed nature? every winter nature dies, and it is brought back to life every spring. What makes you different from that. Flowers,trees,grass are also living beeings just like us. There would be absolutly no point of life it there is no afterlife. Allah (GOD) did not consult you when you were created, and will not consult you about your departure from this life, and when you are brought back. you atheist think you got all the answer lol. use your "consciousness" to reflect. Peace. Read the holy quran surah 75, and you will have a good answer to when you are brought back to life.

That was the worst Haiku ever.

"Soul" is an archaic term. Energy has been proven to exist. Energy can never be destroyed, only transferred. For you to claim that you fully understand and have demonstrable proof that life after death doesn't exist in ANY form shows how boxes in and ignorant you truly are. I am an Atheist in that I do not believe in any "Gods" or creators. I don't however think that being an atheist means that I must out of principal deny everything that cannot as of yet be proven. For you to be so adamant about this without even entertaining the possibility is extremely telling of your fear and bias. You give Atheists a bad name, sir.

Well, as my comment stated. You assume that you know everything about what is essentially unknown. We can hypothesize all day long, but in reality we do not know. I am comfortable with that fact.

@@justinhuskey335 What reason would there be to doubt that our brains do contain all what we are? According to the video and as far as I know from science none so far. So having the ideas soul/afterlife is not entertaining a possibility but entertaining a fantasie. As long that there is no reason to doubt these ideas to be mere fiction, I truly think we are our brains Maybe sooner or later some phenomena might appear that might be called "soul "or indications for a "soul", but so far there aren't. Until then soul is redundant , except in music,romance and poetry. And as religious manipulation, politics or individual. Because of the latter, entertaining the fantasie should not be encouraged too much. But it will of course, as it always has been to calm down the unfortunate, displeased and frustrated.

Again I will state my initial point. If you are basing your adamant position upon the very limited intelligence of humans and have not the wisdom to entertain the idea that said intelligence is infallible then I cannot possibly convince you otherwise. I am wise enough to entertain any thought without becoming consumed by it. Science is used by most Atheist the same way religion is used by zealots. The truth of the matter is that we know essentially nothing about the world in which we live for certain. I will not box myself in just so I can create a foundation for my frightened mind.

Its absolute bullshit. Because when there are two twins looking the same, what do you base that on as seperate people? Activities? Characteristics? Or forms? Its the qualities. If two water looks similar in appearence of sense perception yet one is of salt and another is of fresh, the difference again lies in quality. A fire does not get its identity by the form, it gets so by the heat it produces. Thats the quality. An awareness is a quality. It is not subject to sense perception. What do you mean by "removing your brain alters your memory?" Thats like saying that if you close your eyes then the sun doesn't exist. Reality doesn't work like that, if everyone removes their brain, then the concern of god or anything would not have even come. Its like saying, the curd was milk and the butter was curd before that so now we should consider the butter to be the milk. Thats absolute deception. Qualities of reality is not subject nor prejudiced to your alteration, you are subject to its ways. How can you be so sure that brain is awareness? Thats only in your appearence of sense perception. Can you be so sure awareness gets affected because of brain? Thats one crappy reasoning. Like saying the water disappears and ceases to exist when it is exposed to heat. Thats just a conversion of forma, not ceasation of forms. So error again. Just because the memory appears to have altered on physicality does not diminish the possibility that it ceases to exist nor does it mean to say it is not affected by your actions. This universe is very much conscious, it cannot avoid giving one the karmic results because its cyclical by nature, you imprint an action with emotions attached to it (which every life can and does) and without a doubt it comes back to you at some point, irrelevent of whether your intellect grasps it or not because cyclical movement in physicality is very real and whatever that acts here, including awareness is bound to receive it because its actions and emotions are imprinted in every second of its existence so you saying soul is non existent is equal to saying your awareness and its qualities do not exist. Which would be false and robotical. Brain is just a flesh on head, which appears to be of importance physically under sense perception. But the quality of being aware of awareness already diminishes intellectual perception because whatever it says as correct appears to be correct only under its own scope. If I were to interpret reasoning as a quality which is not limited to body in current reality without alteration. Then its realisable that mind is existence itself. So one would say to believe in intellectual sense perception exactly as it appears to be is like criminal standing in a court saying everything he says is correct and without guilt, without an outside evidence when under suspiscion

Krishna Mathur. You could have saved yourself , and us, a lot of time by paraphrasing. Something like "Hi everyone. I'm a simpleton that doesn't understand reality very well so I prefer imaginary nonsense with no evidence to back it up".

The afterlife is where science stops and your eternity of bliss starts! The problem is while your alive your human mind and the laws of science and biology can't get around and comprehend how it's possible for the soul to leave the body after death of physical body and to the spiritual realm. Some things are not to be solved until you get there 😊

It’s nice to hear comments with somebody with brains

Matt commits a logical fallacy that he often accuses others of. His explanation of brain stuff must be right because of ignorance of a better explanation. If brains can host multiple personalities, which the history if mental health evidences they can, + if souls are not implanted by God, but are a particle hosted by complex matter including living matter, so that multiple souls are already present before they acquire a brain-embodiment, then there is an explanation consistent with souls.

@matthewharrison7127

No. Matt doesn't claim the "brain stuff" is true because of no better explanation, he says it is most likely true because all the evidence we have supports it. Meanwhile, there is no evidence that the soul exists. Until someone demonstrates the existence of a soul and what function it may have, it fails to be a candidate explanation for anything.

Ecclesiastes 9 New International Version (NIV) A Common Destiny for All 9 So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God’s hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them. 2 All share a common destiny-the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[a] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good, so with the sinful; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them. 3 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead. 4 Anyone who is among the living has hope[b]-even a live dog is better off than a dead lion! 5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. 6 Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun. 7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. 8 Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. 9 Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun-all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom. 11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. 12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them. Wisdom Better Than Folly 13 I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me: 14 There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it. 15 Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man. 16 So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded. 17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools. 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.
