    Your name came across my desk this morning. I read your bio. You are obviously a very hard worker and an extremely intelligent person. Yet, you still only have one life to live. Have you ever wondered, “Why”? Many people will tell you we got her by accident. The odds of just the amino acids forming the peptide chains used for the basic code for life DNA and RNA to happen by chance are more than a trillion to one, never mind the rest of life processes. There is no way it happened by chance. So my question is “Why?” If life is not by accident, then why is there life? I contend that it is for one reason and one reason only, for an intelligent being to choose God. If that is true, they there must be life after death, a place where God makes it right for injustices and rewards. In the name of “religion” many atrocities have happened. You and I will never fix that. Anytime there is a seat of power, corrupt people will seek that power. That does not mean that every person who seeks to please “God” is corrupt. It seems a shame to see such a brilliant girl waste her life attacking those who chose God. Remember it is a choice. You only have one life, don’t waste it. When you reach the end of your life, no amount of success, money or popularity can replace a wasted life.

    Osho on Islam "Mohammedanism is a religion of peace, but who else has succeeded more in bringing unrest? Mohammed was an absolutely illiterate man, and the Koran, in which his sayings are collected, is ninety-nine percent rubbish. You can just open the book anywhere and read it, and you will be convinced of what I am saying. I am not saying on a certain page - anywhere. You just open the book accidentally, read the page and you will be convinced of what I am saying. Whatsoever one percent truth there is here and there in the Koran is not Mohammed's. It is just ordinary, ancient wisdom that uneducated people collect easily - more easily than the educated people, because educated people have far better sources of information - books, libraries, universities, scholars. The uneducated, simply by hearing the old people, collect a few words of wisdom here and there. And those words are significant, because for thousands of years they have been tested and found somehow true. So it is the wisdom of the ages that is scattered here and there; otherwise, it is the most ordinary book possible in the world. Muslims have been asking me, "Why don't you speak on the Koran? You have spoken on The Bible, on the Gita, this and that." I could not say to them that it is all rubbish; I simply went on postponing. Even just before I went into silence, a Muslim scholar sent the latest English version of the Koran, praying me to speak on it. But now I have to say that it is all rubbish, that is why I have not spoken on it - because why unnecessarily waste time?"

    Where to start... First... I'd like all to understand that..of course.. one can be a VERY Good, highly ethical person and not have anything to do with any religion. I myself was exposed to Christian religion... but by the age of 13, with quite a bit of thought involved, I came to the conclusion that religion was incredibly flawed... and understand that to this day. Even though I soundly rejected religion, still I remained NEUTRAL on the concept of God since scientifically... Lack of proof does NOT constitute Proof of Lack. My only fair choice at that point was to label myself an Agnostic.. because Hey.. who doesn't like labels. 😉 I went on like this, just being a good person, not because of some fear of hell but simply because it was my nature to do so. In my early 30's however something quite extraordinary happened .. I had a shared NDE (Near Death Experience). I was not the one dying, but was invited into the crossing over of a friend. As I entered this higher realm of Consciousness/ Awareness... I found myself being bathed in this remarkable Light, and for the first time understood what UNCONDITIONAL LOVE actually was. It is, especially for a skeptic such as myself, a MOST sobering and humbling moment. What my subjective Mind thought Unconditional Love was... was Not even close. This was only the begining of my spiritual Awakening.. and I won't won't get into it here but I just want to add something Important to the topic of "God" that some might find useful... and that is..How DOES ONE even BEGIN to DEFINE THAT which "God" actually is? How can we reject something we are in fact, unaware of? Once I actually met THAT Infinite ONE I saw that religion had gotten "God" all wrong. They had gone and created a limited, judgemental deity IN THEIR OWN Flawed Image. What often happens to Atheists is that.. INADVERTANTLY.. many who SAID they were rejecting "God" were still USING religion's EXTREMELY FLAWED definition of "God". How ironic that so many who reject religion.. are still so subtly locked into religion that they continue to use religion's extremely limited and flawed definition of " God" to reject God by. Once "God" / THAT /Infinite Consciousness...One's in HIGHER SELF is finally RECOGNIZED.. one REALIZES that within this Perfect, Divine Consciousness there is nothing to reject. One's True and Infinite SELF is the underlying support of all the Mind's subjective experiences. Think Matrix... the basic premise is quite similar. Your Higher SELF ( which we all share) has experiences THOUGH our ego veiled non-local/non-physical mind. Bottom Line: We ARE "God" / THAT.. caught up in our own SELF imposed dream of "NOT God".. all for the shear experience if it.. AND will Awaken at the appropriate time. No punishment, no judgement.. just Unconditional Love.. Always. The mind is finite and cannot fully grasp its own Source.. but Source can. We are ALL the THAT of " I AM THAT" Stay tuned.. Nothing HERE is as it appears to be... and religion is Clueless.. even as SOME religious minds are doing the best they currently can. Peace.

    I think for something to be accepted as scientific knowledge it must be clearly observed. Theory necessarily means that the subject hasn't been observed but it did leave behind a historical remnant, or evidence as we call it. Evidence allows for a forensic analysis, but like with lawyers and juries, all the best evidence can do is maybe render a decision among a jury where the conclusion of guilt is beyond the shadow of a doubt. (Good lawyers are the smartest people.) Courts do not always get it right. Innocent people have been sent to jail in spite of convincing evidence. Evidence can't always be trusted which is why lawyers, and not scientists, run the world. If I am going to believe that slime on a rock turned into Beethoven, I will have to see a lot more than what the evolutionary researchers have put forward.

    Attempting to reform Islam is impossible! The Quran states very clearly and exclusively from Muhammad that his revelations are from Allah and that he alone was the last prophet. His words are divine and unalterable. That includes all the verses of violence...especially those verses. Good luck trying to reform that! Any true reform begins in the heart, on the inside. Like any real change in our lives. Our minds wake up - "not Woke up". Our minds awaken from slumber, the scales are removed from our eyes and we may say, "Oh I see!" And so the journey to reform begins. But to arrive at at such a place, first a Muslim must hear the truth in a way that will penetrate their hearts and minds. Its a process towards hearing truths about their beloved Muhammad and upon discovering that he bears some atrocious scars of murder, rape, pedophilia and sex slavery to name just a few. It is a difficult thing for Muslims throughout the world to hear such truth when their Imams teach them all their lives that Muhammad was the greatest example of a human being. They are steeped in this lie and lost in its deception. The only hope is a deeper revelation of the truth of Muhammad and the subsequent conviction and freedom of conscience to throw Muhammad - who is Islam - In the dust bin where he belongs. I think that's going to take a miracle of sorts. But not a reformation. I think it will require an awakening that this is "junk" and "bunk" and a huge swathe - millions of Muslims walking away from Muhammad and no longer calling themselves Muslim. Ah but there's the rub! Apostasy calls for the death penalty! From this so called religion of peace! Huh? So one is not publicly free to follow ones free thinking! Therefore those who do think freely and come to reject Muhammad live quiet lives of desperation inside Islamic countries. What a nightmare of fear Islam produces. Put yourself in their shoes and walk a mile or two in their fear of death. Ponder what that must be like? There is no reforming Islam. There is only reforming of the persons who then need to be free from persecution to throw Muhammad - who is Islam - in the bin. The freedom to follow ones conscience without being persecuted. Islam understands nothing of this type of freedom. Where Islam ends, life begins.

    I imagine she would be an amusing professor, but there really was very little argument here. The idea that a cool fish exists and a cool jellyfish exists and a cool cosmos exists is supposed to indicate that they were not designed? How does that follow? As many have pointed out, evolution is a good explanation for changes within the limits of the genes that a creature already possesses, but is a poor explanation for the creation of complex genetic information in the first place. For that, intelligence is the most reasonable explanation. If you disagree, let's see an empirical demonstration that shows it's possible to get this by chance in the time available (with no cheating by specifying the information in advance).

    I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better. And addressing/thanking the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea. Be my friend and I will pray for you, but I do not know how much help me doing so will give you. You should try to practice daily prayer yourself. I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏 Amen. I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊 '' CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen. '' Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏 You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏😊 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol. Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer: "CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen" Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' or ' Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to: "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen." Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!" Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look If you can't remember the words to any prayer, pray the words as you read them

    The problem with your premise is that you conflate the theory of all organisms have a common ancestor which is a microbe that arose spontaneously from random natural causes of nature. That’s not science. Everything about that theory becomes more improbable with the more scientific facts that are discovered about the cell. The only things about the theory that makes any sense at all is the superficial observation that there are similarities in features of various life forms. Name just one prediction that can be made from the in organic to organism, evolutionary bacterium to man theory? There are zero. It’s science fiction. You guys lump that science in behind the guise of science. It’s not

    I’m an atheist from Ireland, raised catholic in a very rural parish, 42 years old now and sitting in Istanbul of all places!. I heard about the Clergy Project via a Dawkins conversation I was previously watching and felt compelled to follow up on UA-cam. Anyways, it’s very interesting to hear the real life stories from lifelong religious “deconverts” and I’m grateful to see this is a reality now. Well done to all involved in such an initiative. Really decent articulate good people, it’s clear to see .. regardless of a personal god being in their lives! Some very touching stories shared, indeed I wish them all success and continued happiness. The one thing I wanted to say as an observer, should you care to know my thoughts or not, but anyways, i would like to convey to the Canadian lady on the board (not because she’s a lady now just because it so happens to be the fact, nor because she’s Canadian for that matter, again just so happens to be), such that who maintains one leg in organised religion and one leg out of religion being part of this agnostic project, really needs to arrive at a decision to be respectful to the congregations of both audiences, pious and secular. You can’t have your cake and eat it as we all know, holding sermon inside a church, while on the payroll of the church and then doing away with the essential churchy parts re Jesus and other such sacrosanct messages, that the flock have flocked to church for, is disrespectful and you’re only fooling yourself. Your employer while you remain on the payroll, who holds these things vital to their beliefs and your job contingent on you conducting yourself and the work in a proper by-the-book religious fashion is well within their rights to expect the same. Then you should not be trying to subvert this in-house, you should resign and stop insulting those people’s beliefs who have assembled (irrespective of how misguided they are). It’s not clever or post modern or cool, like you seem to convey it is by your mannerisms, it’s rude and insensitive to mostly “honest to god” hard working people. I’m delighted you’ve realised for yourself there is no personal god, fantastic, now you seem to be going with the “god” of Einstein, which is proper and right as we all know their is something inexplicable in the cosmos at some level, however the normal churchgoer is not looking for these insights from you. Pack your rational bag and your new found understandings about reality up and move on out away from the safe bosom of the church that you’ve become accustomed to. Indeed, you could fully “deconvert” and hold such secular sermons outside of an organized church, to an audience expecting such a new humanist-like sermon - far more like it, the proper and respectful thing to do. Finally, the other members of the project present are very brave in their conviction to deconvert from their former religious lives and now engage with the world as straight-up atheists on a public stage like this, the “pastor-humanist” lady on the fence in the church while on the panel is an injustice in the face of these brave deconverted people. One should not be given access to this platform until one has ceased a quasi religious-secular existence spouting some sort of new wave quasi-religious-not religious spiel. It is nonsensical I’m sorry to say and detracts from the other full bloodied deconverted stories shared. Thanks for the video.

      Baphomet is a depiction of God. the statue shown doesn't have the female breasts like the original pictures. but the caduceus represents the male organ &the female breasts, the animal body parts. symbolizes All living things that are made up of the God Force/Being. something so we can put a name with a face since human beings are such materialistic &tangible creatures. visuals help as reminds but people always take everything & change the meanings of it, even the creators of the images. they were inspired by... something. imaginations don't come from nowhere.

    Jerry Coyne by now must realize how incorrect and antiquated his views are. Now that epigenetics has confirmed Lamarck was correct, and that there does exist the inheritance of inherited characteristics, antiquarians like Jerry begin to panic.By itself, the Fossil record has confirmed what Darwin most feared.There were no transitional steps of any consequence.Intelligent Design is now confirmed by the majority of Evolutionary biologists.As Sir.Denis Noble put it, even Darwin ,if alive today, would reject NEODARWINISM.Give up Jerry & cut your losses.We have all made mistakes..lol
