Thanks, but I stopped this at 2:19, because I saw where it was going. The Bible explains truth without myths. It uses parables and metaphors as illustrations to teach truths; but not myths in which gods (who are not the One True Creator God Jehovah), which are worshiped/ idolized , and set as examples for humans, are acting badly. The teachings of the Hindu religion are in contradiction to God's words of the Bible. God's words teach us that our lives, spiritual wellness and future depend on us learning and heeding His words and spirit, so as to have a viable relationship/ friendship with Him. That causes us to treat our fellow human beings with righteousness too - to have love for our neighbor. The Bible teaches us that is where our answers are - with God - and NOT "within ourselves." Worse yet, Hindu and some other meditation (like Sufi) calls for persons to "empty" their minds, and /or open them up to influence of spirits. (I know some musicians do that, hoping to receive a song from a raga.) But Jehovah the Creator warns us in His words to NOT do these things, because they can open ones mind and life up to demon influence - and demons harm humans, lie, can influence people to more evil, and can and have destroyed lives. The one to listen to for truth and guidance is Jah, through His scriptural, spirit-backed words of truth. (John 17:3,17) (Indian cuisine is my favorite though.)

All of that would necessitate a belief in and honestly listening to and accepting discipline from God's truth. It would not allow for the arrogance, etc. of atheism.

The answer is NO, there is NOT any good in atheism. Its very purpose is rebellion against God and His scriptural standards, so as to "free" persons to feel "justified" to engage in and work whatever sin and evil they want to - without a sense of accountability. Atheism is Satanism, re-branded. It essentially teaches the SAME FATAL LIES and slander against God; rebellion against Him; and false "freedom" and "improvement" of life - if one rebels against God - as Satan did in to Adam and Eve in Eden. Atheism follows the blasphemous and evil prime directive of modern Satanism, which also retains Satan's original LIES, and goes by his evil spirit: "DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW." Such a defiance, arrogance, insolent, etc. against God and HIs scriptural laws/ commands/ principles has served the will of Satan for 6000 years - for persons to be alienated from having a viable relationship with their Creator; to blaspheme and hurt God; and to cause bloodshed, destructive and inhumane/ demonic evil, and human suffering. This Satanic insanity, consciencelessness, and debased evil feelings of false "permission" and "empowerment/ entitlement" is what allowed atheist-Satanists/ the godless (which included the likes of Hitler also, despite his being technically an un-ex-communicated Catholic) like Pol Pot and Stalin to work their campaigns of crimes against God and humanity, terror, and bloodshed; and it is the same unconscionably EVIL mindset of spiritual LIES that "allows" atheists to continue demonically torturing, slaughtering and executing , etc. "believers" today - even gutting the organs out of their living bodies and selling them. Aside from that, atheists, as human slave tool hordes of the Devil, are busy elsewhere meddling in government, so as to push that the will of their master Satan be done, against everything holy, good, righteous, and of God - such as Jah's own-designed and purposed sacred family arrangements; God-given parental rights over one's own God-given children; the sanctity of life (with atheists pushing to destroy/ murder/ force death upon/ euthanize lives - of the sick, impaired, old, etc,. - and works eugenics (as Hitler's regime did also); freedom of worship; and freedom of speech; etc. The only temporary "excuse" one might make for an atheist is that they were fed up and angry over any or all of the world's also GOD-DEFIANT, ANTI-SCRIPTURAL, demonic LIE-teaching, hypocritical, and EVIL-practicing FALSE religions of Satan's world empire of them, "Babylon the Great." (Revelation chapters 17 and 18) but its NOT a good "excuse" to rebel against God and His scriptural standards. One OWES their Creator, at that crossroad, to honest-heartedly SEEK HIS TRUTH THEN (which is evident in His creation and His globally-given, scriptural words, by His will and active force/ spirit). What is NOT right, honest, excusable, or acceptable to God is to instead falsely use the "excuse" that there are FALSE religions (which teach and work evil, "in the name of God"), and so therefore, one should falsely BLAME GOD and rebel against Him - doing whatever immoral and evil things one wants to - because of the humans (and the spirit of Satan behind them) that have believed, taught and worked LIES and EVIL, in God's name. Jah's warned of punishment, against all of Satan's global empire of FALSE religions; followed by Armageddon Day from Him, against all remaining stubbornly and heinously evil and God-insolent persons - and all other vestiges of evil - on this earth is SOON. (Revelation chapters 18 and 19) THEN, there will be TRUE peace on earth. That being said, God has been giving the whole world His scriptural warnings - to leave off of atheism/ godlessness which He describes and decrees is "deserving of death" from Him (Romans 1:18-32), and any of the world's anti-scriptural, God-disobedient, demonic lie-teaching, spiritually adulterous, blood guilty, blasphemous, and other evil-practicing FALSE religions of "Babylon the Great" - immediately - because God's Divine intervention, to work His warned-of vengeance against them is SOON (Revelation 18:4,5,8,20-24). Then He'll bring Armageddon. Then things will be much better here.

He's $$$SELLING a book! He probably hires out as a speaker, too, like his fellow celebrity atheist "scientists"? I very much believe this was part of the homosexual sex/ gay "marriage" agenda too - to try to pave the way for the "sanctioning" of it by various governments and the UN, by trying to lessen people's objections to this which are based on scriptural religious beliefs. The TIMING of this video, with its undeniably pro-gay overtones, together with several other videos from the same several years - made by evidently pro-homosexual sex/ gay "marriage" agenda CELEBRITY ATHEIST "SCIENTISTS", CELEBRITY ATHEIST COMMENTATORS on such, and yes, sadly, even what has been perhaps the world's most beloved rock band all dis-serviced God and humanity - by cranking out much of the SAME PILE OF LIES AGAINST JAH and HIS SCRIPTURAL WORDS and WARNINGS. The goal was to try to discredit God and His scriptural words - so that "sanctioned" EXTREME VIOLATION OF THE SCRIPTURAL LAWS OF GOD, and even THE TOTAL PACKAGE SCRIPTURAL WARNING EXAMPLE OF GOD'S JUDGMENTS and PUNISHMENT (DIVINE DESTRUCTION/ annihilation) of SODOM and GOMORRAH, for their crimes against God and others (with their demonic practices of homosexual sex, pedophile sex, related violence, and general rebellion against God) NO LONGER SEEMED WORTH UPHOLDING......However, what has transpired, in these past several years, with these and similar works clearly of Satanic influence, IS THAT THE MANY PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN, PROMOTED, SUPPORTED, APPROVED OF, and allowed themselves to be placidly swept along with this demonic lie propaganda movement (to NOT take a stand for scriptural truth, or even what is known to be right-by-God, by inborn conscience) STARKLY AND SHOCKINGLY FULFILLED 2000 YEAR OLD PROPHESIES FROM THE GOD and BIBLE THEY DENY the EXISTENCE/ WORTH OF. STUNNING, is that in particular, this FIGHTING AGAINST GOD - this slandering of Him and His words (and believers in Him and His words) - directly includes elements of those prophecies, such as fervent yet wholly unreasonable and inexcusable DENIAL that the Creator's existence and Godship is manifest in the creation which engulfs humans; profound (yet unfounded) insolence and arrogance towards the Creator God Himself; ASSERTING ONESELF TO BE WISE, but God Almighty, in contrast, to be "OF INACCURATE KNOWLEDGE", ETC., and working a lot of this evil and foolish rebellion against God ON ACCOUNT OF INSISTANCE UPON GOD-FORBIDDEN HOMOSEXUAL SEX. (Romans 1:26,27) PAIR THESE PROPHESIES of ROMANS 1:18-32 with JUDE 7,10,14,15; and the progression of motivations-attitudes, behaviors, and results of all this should make anyone concerned. (Armageddon Day, from a rightly-angered God is SOON.) Meanwhile, back at the UN, celebrations over various governments' "sanctioning" God-forbidden homosexual sex were had, with pink shirts and colored balloons. After all, to those of the POPULATION REDUCTION AGENDA, they could care less about God, your spiritual wellness, or your future. With what your beliefs and values are, y'all, with what choices you make in life, and what you stand up for - or cave-in to/ sell-out to, who/ what IS your god - the prophesied idol, with Satan behind it? Most of the world's FALSE religions of "Babylon the Great" have already sold-out to worshiping it.

You caused me to take some time to learn more about the Quran today - thanks. However, now that I have; for many reasons, I would encourage you to leave off from it. (I do enjoy some Arabic music, dance, and food though - these kinds of good things are meant to be shared, without borders, and someday here, in Jehovah's [true] new world here, they will be, among the human family.) Now though, why would you start off with wanting people to question the Bible, by claiming that there is no "logical" answer to the question "who created God" or "how existence existed"? The Bible teaches that Jehovah (God) the Creator and Universal Sovereign has existed forever and will exist forever - "from time indefinite to time indefinite" (Psalm 41:13). He is called "the King of Eternity" - "Now to the King of eternity, incorruptible, invisible, [the] only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen." (1Timothy 1:17) ..........Before Him and after Him, there was no God - “YOU are my witnesses,” is the utterance of Jehovah, “even my servant whom I have chosen, in order that YOU may know and have faith in me, and that YOU may understand that I am the same One. Before me there was no God formed, and after me there continued to be none. (Isaiah 43:10) ........Jah has created the universe, which is mighty old. With who He is, all of HIS demonstrated power and attributes, and because "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE" (Hebrews 6:18), why should any tiny human charge that God is not telling the truth, when He says He has existed from time indefinite (forever)? ..............“But to whom can YOU people liken me so that I should be made his equal?” says the Holy One. 26 *“Raise YOUR eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one [of them] is missing.............Have you not come to know or have you not heard? Jehovah, the Creator of the extremities of the earth, is a God to time indefinite. He does not tire out or grow weary. There is no searching out of his understanding.* 29 He is giving to the tired one power; and to the one without dynamic energy he makes full might abound. 30 Boys will both tire out and grow weary, and young men themselves will without fail stumble, 31 but those who are hoping in Jehovah will regain power. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not tire out.” (Isaiah 40:25,26,28-31)..........God knows that we would wonder about eternity though - and even be amazed at the thought of Him always having existed, without a beginning. It's God that put the thought of "time indefinite" / eternity/ "forever" in our hearts. Its an attribute and gift from Him, because we were made in His image, and He originally designed us to LIVE FOREVER (and someday, starting soon, those who listen to and heed Jehovah's words, in His Holy Bible can again)........."Everything he has made pretty in. its time. Even time indefinite he has put in their heart, that mankind may never find out the work that the [true] God has made from the start to the finish." (Ecclesiastes 3:11).........There is a lot to say.....And it all comes from a Book of truth from the Creator that was completed in its writings almost 500 years before Muhammad was born. I read that Orthodox Islam teaches that the Quran is CO-ETERNAL with God, that it existed in the heavens beside Him, on a magnificent tablet. That is not possible. If it is co-eternal. who wrote it?There are many serious discrepancies within the Quran itself, but even more so, between it and the Holy Scriptures/ Bible. It does not fit, that the Quran "builds upon" the God-inspired writings of Moses and the other men who penned-down God's words of the Bible. Jehovah is not a God of confusion - He doesn't teach opposite things, just truth.He also insists that worshipers of Him do not kill others, including those of other beliefs. All of the highly-limited, rare, and specific authorization from God - given by Him in the past, to a closed society of those who were once His people, the Jews - for warring against others ENDED COMPLETELY, with Jesus Christ's coming down from Heaven to live as a human on earth. From that time on, no true worshiper of God was to take up physical weapons against their fellow man. Jesus Christ reiterated: "You must not murder". "You must love your neighbor." ........."all those who take the sword will perish by the sword." (Matthew 26:52)......Also see-..............."And it must occur in the final part of the days [that] the mountain of the house of Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must stream. 3 And many peoples will certainly go and say: “Come, YOU people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. 4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore." True worshipers of the Creator God Jehovah around the world, in all countries, are already practicing/ living-by this, even NOW. It will be the way of the future, under God's Rule, His Kingdom here. There WILL be peace here, world-wide - and God-obedient people then will be able to live here, in a paradise, forever. (Psalm 37:10,11,29)

THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD, and IS MEANT TO BE STUDIED and applied. (John 17:17; 17:3) It is Authored by God Himself. The 40 faithful men who acted as God's secretaries wrote under directly-purposed and overseen Divine inspiration/ holy spirit/God's active force - so that they would convey just what He wanted them to. The same goes for the canon of the Bible; and for the same purposes, Jah has also seem that every essential bit of HIS words to mankind HAS BEEN PRESERVED, down to this Day, It has been globally distributed now, and is readily available, even by internet - JUST IN TIME FOR THE LAST OF THESE PRE-ARMAGEDDON DAYS.....Fence-sitting is counted by God as being on Satan's side of these issues. Are you aware that atheists-Satanists/ the godless have a 6000-year long history and ONGOING practices of working terrorism, slaughter, genocides, extreme violation of God-given human rights, and crimes against God and humanity? Are you aware of how atheists work terrorism against, torture and execute believers in some lands? Are you aware of how atheist-Satanists gut living viable babies out of their mothers wombs in China, and kill the crying babies in front of their mothers, if the babies survive the terroristic forced abortions? Are you aware that there have been execution vans roaming the country-side in China, looking for dissidents to state atheism? When they have found them, they have gutted the organs out of their living bodies and sold them - the same as they have done to "believers" they have unjustly arrested and imprisoned. In North Korea, the GODLESS/ atheist-Satanists (worship of a human dictator is only a front) work similar terrorism, unjust imprisonments, torture, slaughter, executions, etc., - even working this Satanic evil against three generations of a person's family, if they catch someone being a "believer." In Britain and the U.S. primarily, but also Canada and Australia, atheist-Satanists have been working (meddling in corrupt government) to work extreme violation of other God-given human rights of "believers" - such as by destruction of the God-made family unit and parental rights over their own God-given (Psalm 127:3) children. The world's LIKEWISE ANTI-scriptural, demonic LIE-teaching and evil-working FALSE religions of Satan's global empire of them, the spiritual whore-like conglomeration of "Babylon the Great" (Revelation chapters 17 and 18) have worked many of these crimes against God and humanity too. Both groupings are rightly condemned by the Creator, for their blasphemies, evil, and blood guilt, and will soon be wiped-out by God - either when He soon intervenes to work His vengeance upon Satan's "Babylon the Great"/ the world's FALSE-to-God religions; or else when He follows that with His unleashing of His Armageddon Day finale itself. (Revelation chapters 18 and 19) Jehovah has a right to have His earth filled with persons who honor, love, are grateful to, and obey Him as their Creator; and who meet His standards of holiness - who for example, don't go around lying about God, violating others and destroying lives. Then there will be TRUE peace on earth.

No - not the Bible. It was Authored by Jehovah God The Creator, and penned-down for Him by faithful human men, who wrote under tha influence of Jehovah's holy spirit (His active force). Some [Catholics] have falsely said that John was under the influence of drugs when He wrote the Book of Revelation; but that is a lie. It was intentionally written including visions, symbols, and metaphors. And who did all that come from anyway?........"A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John, 2 who bore witness to the word God gave and to the witness Jesus Christ gave, even to all the things he saw. 3 Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observe the things written in it; for the appointed time is near." (Revelation 1:1-3)......False religious leaders and others have tried to discredit the book of Revelation in different ways. Why? Because its contents - especially chapters 17 and 18 - describe, expose, and condemn the world's anti-scriptural and God-disobedient FALSE religions, which God refers to as "Babylon the Great", as being what they are: Blasphemous, [demonic] lie-teaching, evil-practicing, blood guilty, and world-ruining, etc., Satan-serving, enemy-of-God entities. The world's FALSE religious leaders do NOT want their people to read or hear of God's scriptural warning to actually LEAVE the world's FALSE religions. If the people leave, then the false religious entities get less $$$. Nevertheless, people belong trying to please God first, not men; and this is what God has to say: "And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind." (Revelation 18:4,5)

This is exactly how much "authority"-by-God the demonism-teaching, wholly apostate, murderous, and seas of blood guilt-bearing Catholic church has upon Jehovah's Holy Scriptures or their canon - ready? Squint hard, here it comes:_________________% (ZERO-percent), NONE. Instead of having ANY authority over Jehovah the Creator's words or canon of them, the words of God within His Holy Scriptures (especially Revelation chapters 17 and 18) indict that church (and other Satan-serving FALSE "Christian" and other FALSE religions) as being of "Babylon the Great" - of a spiritual whore conglomeration that serves Satan and the "kings of the earth" - NOT God Jehovah or His scriptural Kingdom whatsoever. Jehovah's canon of HIS OWN WORDS WAS BUILT, BY HIM, AS EACH WRITTEN BOOK OF IT WAS RECEIVED - so, starting with the book of Genesis, written down for God by Moses, in 1513 B.C.E. the CANON OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES WAS COMPLETE, by 98 C.E. The Christian-Greek Scripture books/letters were copied and passed around to the early Christian congregations as they were written by the Apostles too. Copies of these were carefully made also. God is the ONLY one properly credited with the Authorship, canon, and preservation of HIS OWN BOOK. Further, it is no secret that the Catholic church worked hard, with Satan, to both DISCREDIT and EXPUNGE the word of God at times, even daring to Satanically slaughter the TRUE Christian worshipers of God who properly possessed and taught the truth of God from HIS words, instead of the demonic LIE teachings and FALSE doctrines idolatrously and evilly taught by the UNHOLY church. That the CANON was crafted BY GOD, NOT MEN, is seen in its miraculous quality of being intra-harmonious, In CONTRAST, the Catholic church has even included apocryphal books (which do not belong in with the Bible), in with some of its versions. Other Catholic Bibles have a special place in the center for families to list which of their offspring were sacrificed, "in the name of God" to Satan and his demons, through Satan's global war machine. "the things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God." (1Corinthians 10:20)...................."And one of the seven angels that had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying: “Come, I will show you the judgment upon the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, whereas those who inhabit the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
3 And he carried me away in [the power of the] spirit into a wilderness. And I caught sight of a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored wild beast that was full of blasphemous names and that had seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls and had in her hand a golden cup that was full of disgusting things and the unclean things of her fornication. 5 And upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: “Babylon the Great, the mother of the harlots and of the disgusting things of the earth.” 6 And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the holy ones and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus.....................And he says to me: “The waters that you saw, where the harlot is sitting, mean peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. 16 And the ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire. 17 For God put [it] into their hearts to carry out his thought, even to carry out [their] one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished. 18 And the woman whom you saw means the great city that has a kingdom over the kings of the earth.”
18 After these things I saw another angel descending from heaven, with great authority; and the earth was lighted up from his glory. 2 And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: “She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, and she has become a dwelling place of demons and a lurking place of every unclean exhalation and a lurking place of every unclean and hated bird! 3 For because of the wine of the anger of her fornication all the nations have fallen [victim], and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the traveling merchants of the earth became rich due to the power of her shameless luxury.”
4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind............That is why in one day her plagues will come, death and mourning and famine, and she will be completely burned with fire, because Jehovah God, who judged her, is strong.
9 “And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her, when they look at the smoke from the burning of her, 10 while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!’..................Be glad over her, O heaven, also YOU holy ones and YOU apostles and YOU prophets, because God has judicially exacted punishment for YOU from her!”
21 And a strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: “Thus with a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again. 22 And the sound of singers who accompany themselves on the harp and of musicians and of flutists and of trumpeters will never be heard in you again, and no craftsman of any trade will ever be found in you again, and no sound of a millstone will ever be heard in you again, 23 and no light of a lamp will ever shine in you again, and no voice of a bridegroom and of a bride will ever be heard in you again; because your traveling merchants were the top-ranking men of the earth, for by your spiritistic practice all the nations were misled. 24 Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.” (Revelation 17:1-6,15-18; 18:1-5,8-10,20-24)
