The world is changing and taking and dark age ideas are being left behind. I think the video very about the many people that have withheld pain without being able to find love, intelligence and peace of mind.

We are born a bundle of potential. Our education, physical, human, and spiritual determine how our particular set of qualities and attributes, our individual gifts, develop and what we come to understand and believe about ourselves and our existence. Our current ways of educating children fail to see a human as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value that are to be nurtured, developed, and refined to gift to the world. Consequently, our education fails to bring out what we inherently possess in potential form. More often, we pervert and cripple.

wow nice point! very true also! i would love to have a comparison machine! you know, to tell you how tall and smart you should be compared to what you are! "if i had of just eaten those pea's as i kid i could be 6'5" now!"

i would love to have a study done of two identical children raised by identical people in identical circumstances and see with minor changes influence decisions, and baring that to see if they come to the same conclusions. but apparently its wrong to keep children locked up for decades to study this so.............what can ya do!?...............What China? yeah i know i already have my plane ticket! :P

I understand that this clip is one man's opinion about faith, belief, etc. I don't agree with it, but I am aware that he might not agree with my pov, so as far as I'm concerned, we're even, he and I.

He implies that all religious belief is the result of indoctrination and that you can equate atheism with lack of knowledge about God. I don't agree with either of those 2 points.

1) Math could be called a kind of indoctrination too. When I was 8 yrs old, I had no idea what 7 x 8 = 56 meant. It was just a jumble of arbitrary numbers to me. But it and its fellows were drilled into me and later I understood what multiplication is. It was the same with faith in God per religion. At first I didn't understand was any of it meant but as I matured, experienced a little more about life, it made sense.

2) Atheism and ignorance about God are not the same thing. In fact, to be an atheist, you have to know at least something about the concept of a deity, and based on your life experiences, make the decision that no God exists in your pov.
