Humans are animals literally. Have you seen nature? Survival is brutal. That said, since you say you've read a lot of history, you clearly see that as Christianity in particular spread, wars declined. Even more so after the reformation. Because it teaches the things this video talks about. Humility, value of the individual, and compassion. People today don't seem to understand or aren't able to grasp that this is the most peaceful time in human existence pretty much and that's been true for several generations. So you claiming believing in God never saved anyone is your own nihilistic tendencies. It's clear you're pretty deep in it and good luck getting out of it, but you won't be dragging me back into it. Edit: To fully understand imagine the amount of death that occurred during WWII population percentage wise every couple of years in different parts of the world. That's the history of mankind. To look at that and claim it's the same today is just not even remotely accurate. So no, what you're claiming is patently untrue.

"We don't need God" and then you refer to "sin". Which is it? Without God there is no concept of sin. Vanity is neither good or bad without the concept of God because good and evil doesn't exist outside that concept either. Try to make that statement and really leave God out of it. It's impossible. Welcome to now understanding we do need God because that's what our entire society is founded on. Every law, every moral, every belief.

Thank you for not watching the video because that's not what it's about or says, but your ignorant comment helps the algorithm.

@kanyespastor5888 Which is exactly what this video is talking about. That's why they used the term "divine" rather than God to not confuse the thought with a particular religion. As this video explained, God is just the English word assigned to something we lack the vocabulary or thinking to explain.

@TheOsamaBahama If you paid attention to the video it explains not everyone who follows an organized religion ever experience God/the Divine because they can become corrupt by mankind as a tool to keep people from growing rather than help them achieve that experience. As someone that has experienced it, it is impossible to put into language that anyone could understand. The only way I, personally, can describe it is an overwhelming feeling and sensation of peace and calmness. The unbearable weight of just being that you weren't even really aware was there lifted off you. I do mean physically feel it lifted.

@Synodalian Since all our "moral truth" stems directly from Christianity, which apparently you didn't know that, it's not arbitrary superstition. Most of the philosophy you follow in the West also stems from Christianity. Liberalism is directly from it. Everything you described comes from the society in which you live and that society was built around Christianity. Aztec society was built around it's religion which included human sacrifices. They viewed it as perfectly moral. Other societies built around their religion find things we'd find horrifying, beautiful. What you're seeing as such profound thinking is only showing your complete lack of knowledge and understanding of how those things came to be. So you're saying discard the foundation of these ideas and cling to the ideas that will fall without their foundation. Edit: Which is what's happening now. Tell me, how's that working out? Self harm at record highs, marriage and happiness at record lows. Working out great for society /s.

@vetteluvnh It's impossible because our philosophy comes from our religious beliefs. Everything that Western society is based on stems directly from Christianity. Our morals, our laws, our structure, our concept of freedom, all of it.

@explosives101 He's not talking about belief. He's acknowledging our society is based on Christian principles and without them society will fall. Nothing stands once it's foundation is eroded away.

What's not true? Do you believe to kill someone is wrong? To take something that doesn't belong to you is wrong? Did you ever question why you believe those things or just blindly believe them? Do you believe in liberalism? ALL of that comes from what you're saying is untrue. That you expect everyone else to agree with your assumption is also fascinating.

@ericsuarez834 No it's not "common sense" and that you think it is is hilarious. Lots of societies don't think what we think is immoral and survived for many years. Human sacrifice was very common and they certainly didn't see it as an immoral act. So it's not "common sense". You grew up in a society founded on Christian principles so all of that comes from those principles whether you believe in Christianity or not. Atheists believing somehow we'd have the same morals without those principles are entertaining because a quick glance at history shows that to be false. If it was "common sense" or a "human truth" as some like to claim, they would have been held before Christianity spread and they just weren't.

@blue-ck9ns Seriously? Historians agree he was a real person. Stop with that tired worn out drivel. Lying doesn't make you look intelligent like you seem to believe it does.
