Cheryl Ho's Blog; the art of conversation

And Faith It Is

I was just watching videos of Zeitgeist in YouTube which Jewin had been asking me to watch it since few weeks ago.  The videos are regarding the debate/argument/explanation or whatever it is called, on the existence (or inexistence) of religion and our respective Gods.

There was one part of the video, he said it so bluntly and straight-to-your-face kinda shit that, “Jesus does not even exist”.

But I have to admit, the video had some very factual facts that I myself cannot deny and debate against. It really makes you think about the true presence of your God. When I first watched the video, although I am not a very strong Christian, but I was quite taken aback of how the video was using Christianity as an example, although meaning all religions as a whole in the video.

After the end of the video, I actually felt like…. Shit, muthafucker are you serious? Fuck, no man. Yeah, like that.

And I still have no strong comments or facts to go against the things said in Zeitgeist’s video on religion, but I recalled reading an email, which you might have read it years ago, but it’s definitely still a good read.

Trust me, worth a read.

Here’s to share with all of you.

A Great Conversation

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has With GOD , the ALMIGHTY.  He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .
  
Professor :   You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student    :   Yes, sir.
Professor :    So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student    :   Absolutely, sir.
Professor :    Is GOD Good ?
Student    :    Sure.
Professor :    Is GOD ALL – POWERFUL ?
Student    :    Yes.
Professor :    My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to  GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor :   You can’t answer, can you ?  Let’s start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student    :   Yes.
Professor :   Is Satan good ?
Student    :   No.
Professor :   Where does Satan come from ?
Student    :   From . . . GOD . . .
Professor :   That’s right.  Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student    :   Yes.
Professor :    Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student    :   Yes.
Professor :   So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor :   Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don’t they? Student :  Yes, sir.
Professor :   So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor :  Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student :  No, sir.
Professor :  Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student :  No , sir.
Professor :  Have you ever Felt your GOD , Tasted your GOD , Smelt your GOD ? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student :   No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor :   Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student :  Yes.
Professor :   According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist.  What do you say to that, son?
Student :  Nothing.  I only have my Faith.
Professor :  Yes, Faith.  And that is the Problem Science has.

Student :   Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor :   Yes.
Student :   And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor :   Yes.
Student :   No, sir. There isn’t..

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student :   Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat.  But we don’t have anything called Cold.  We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can’t go any further after that. 
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student :  What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?

Professor :  Yes. What is Night if there isn’t Darkness?

Student :  You’re wrong again, sir.   Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light,   Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn’t it?  In reality, Darkness isn’t. If it is,  you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor :   So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?

Student :   Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.

Professor :   Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student :   Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a Thought.  It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. 
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor :   If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.

Student :   Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student :   Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student :  Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor’s Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student :  Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .
No one appears to have done so. 
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir.  With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor :   I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student :  That is it sir . . .  Exactly !
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
.
*END*
.
.
And that’s what I have and will continue having in myself, in my believe and in God.

Zeitgeist is in attempt of killing my faith in Jesus in ways that I do not quite notice, but his videos are too good to not watch. Because it is actually pretty factful.

Youtube it yourself if you are curious about Zeitgeist videos. I’m not going to put the link here, it will be too contradicting of me posting up a conversation on faith, and a video proving the inexistence of Jesus Christ and all other Gods of other religions.

Lol.

This is shit man. This shit actually makes you think, you know.

Okay, I’m going to watch the other parts of the videos. HAHAH

Laters.
