The nature of the supernatural pt.2

Uploaded by: DeimosSaturn
Video Description:
I define the supernatural as:
Forces or Materials which cannot be observed or detected (either directly or indirectly) in the empirical sense.
This vid is meant to put Materialism into the perspective of theists. I relate all things which I do NOT believe into a tree, all the branches of which lead to a single idea.
As an atheist, I do not JUST lack a belief in a God, I also lack a belief in: UFOs, Alien abductions, Intelligent design, Ghosts, the afterlife, reincarnation, Bigfoot, the lost city of atlantis, the earth being flat, astrology, telepathy, telekinesis, objective morality, the soul, free will.

not only you lack ... ( 4 months ago by rahuls1s)

not only you lack belief in certain crucial aspects of life but also you don't realize what what you don't know.

I am quite aware ... ( 4 months ago by DeimosSaturn)

I am quite aware that I don't know everything...religious folk on the other hand think they have THE book written by the master of the universe that explains everything...even though many parts of that book have been shown to contradict itself and there is clear empirical evidence to contradict that book...but whatever. I lack belief in crucial aspects of life, so I guess my facts don't mean anything, right?

first of all, never ... ( 4 months ago by rahuls1s)

first of all, never comment about something we don't know. And I don't know of any book that explains everything about the universe. People who claim that they have the book written by master of the universe just lowers themselves.
I know of a book (and although it is told by the Lord himself and it explains everything about the life), I would never claim that those are god's words. Because that would make me ethnocentric and person with that view can never be religious.

I'm not commenting ... ( 3 months ago by DeimosSaturn)

I'm not commenting on what I don't know. I'm categorizing the various types of non-empirical mystical phenomenon people believe in.
And your book is continually proven wrong, and if you critically evaluated the backwards and inhuman morals of the bible, you'd become an atheist.

well you are ... ( 3 months ago by rahuls1s)

well you are commenting about your doubt for the existence of God himself. I am not trying to change your belief system, don't believe in it, that's fine.
What do you mean by your book, I don't even know what the bible is so I can't comment on its content.

You said you do ... ( 3 months ago by rahuls1s)

You said you do lack a belief in ufos and other paranormal things, so why post a video named " the nature of supernatural?" if they don't exist in the first place.

By "your book" i ... ( 3 months ago by DeimosSaturn)

By "your book" i mean whatever ass-backwards dogma you subscribe to.
Also, I do not have a belief system. My platforms require no faith or belief of any kind except for the assumption that perception and memory is relevant to reality.

This video is about ... ( 3 months ago by DeimosSaturn)

This video is about categorizing and identifying all the delusional phenomenon into a family tree. I describe a unified theory on the DELUSION of the supernatural, not the supernatural itself. There are commonalities among all these belief systems and can be predicted. It's to supplement my "create a religion" video.

With all due ... ( 3 months ago by rahuls1s)

With all due respect, I don't want to offend you. And if you are offended, please forgive.
But I must state my feelings about your video and comments you made in reply.
I have my own religion, so I am not subscriber. But I don't mind taking guidance from religious books and that includes all religious books from all religions, but mainly Hinduism.
I agree that perception and memory are relevant, but how can you explain Remote sensing or deja vu with five senses?

I applaud your ... ( 1 month ago by Fisch71)

I applaud your addressing of this topic. Some minor criticisms, however:
(1) I know how frustrating it can be to deal with superstitious thinkers, but if in communicating you aspire to persuade, or to even plant a seed, then phrases like "you're retarded" should probably be avoided.

(2) Atheists are not necessarily materialists. Many atheists are interested in philosophy, and as such there's no telling what position they will take on a given matter. Anyone pondering the nature of consciousness or epistemology might well be led away from a strict materialist position, yet still feel perfectly confident rejecting the idea of a personal God.

(3) Although the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot are subjects that attract the paranormally-inclined, there is nothing NECESSARILY paranormal about them. Bigfoot-related articles have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and rational people like Jane Goodall and George B Schaller have either taken the position that Bigfoot exists, or that the evidence for its existence is suffiently impressive to warrant a serious scientific investigation.

I'm not here to persuade anyone nor am I here to walk on eggshells. I calls 'em likes I sees 'em!

I was referring to ... ( 3 weeks ago by DeimosSaturn)

I was referring to atheists in a non-general way. I thought that was implicit. I know Raelianists and Buddhists are technically atheists, but I think people know I am not including them in my use of the word.

Also, just because ... ( 3 weeks ago by DeimosSaturn)

Also, just because I say materialist disbelieve in all aspects of mysticism, including religion, doesn't make the implication that all people who disbelieve in religion are materialists.
As for cryptozoology, Although some reputable scientists may entertain the possibility that an upright walking ape other than humans exists, I doubt they would say they know it exists with any certainty. Show me some references.

Also, there were ... ( 3 weeks ago by DeimosSaturn)

Also, there were cold-fusion related articles that have been published in peer-reviewed science journals...that doesn't necessarily give credence to the idea that cold-fusion could work. They just examine experimental data and field research. If a bigfoot body was found...or even a sample of its hair or dung...there wouldn't be any controversy. We would know these organisms exist. Plaster cast molds of bigfoot tracks are unimpressive.

One last thing, If ... ( 3 weeks ago by DeimosSaturn)

One last thing, If we were to find some ape hair or dung in North America with the genetic phylogeny that doesn't match any known species of ape...I would be the first one to say Bigfoot exists and is probably endangered, and I encourage people to continue to try to find this animal...but after a certain point, you have to admit, leprechauns don't exist either.

Reconsider this ... ( 2 weeks ago by LeafInTheStream)

Reconsider this stance. You say you're not here to persuade, but you obviously want people to listen. Would you be listening to someone while the words "you're fuckin' stupid" were leaving his lips? Would you be processing what he was saying?
You live in a world which is endangered by superstitious dogma; by persuading people to abandon this mode of thought you make a real contribution. If Richard Dawkins can deliver his message without actually calling people "retarded", then surely you can.

For an example of a ... ( 2 weeks ago by LeafInTheStream)

For an example of a hair sample being found, you can watch "Monster Quest: Sasquatch Attack" pt. 5 here on YouTube. In Snelgrove Lack, Ontario, a hair expected to be from a sasquatch was found to be almost identical to human but with one nucleotide polymorphism shared with chimpanzees. The examiner estimated the probably of it coming from a human being to be 1 in 5000. This is not the only intriguing sample ever found.
And I don't know why you dismiss the plaster casts so casually.
