This is an amazing story of discovery, on how this person discovered that the very thing he stood for was driven by his fear. It is often difficult to face the truth when we have been nurtured to succumb to anything that might harm us. We only reach the truth when we challenge the basis of our beliefs.
At empirical truth, we take an agnostic view of the world. We believe that no one religion captures the essence of the elusive concept, yet science is not completely there to explain him away. Any case this 1 hour video is well worth the watch. It is full of nuggets to have us question the concept of god, and higher our understanding of our existence.
Here is a very eloquent and brave lady who tells us her discovery of the true nature of god, or at least nature of what he is not. I found her story educational and also entertaining.
Tele-Evangelists make good money. That is why we see so many of them on late night tv. Some of them are blatant money hogs, while other are more discrete when they take money from you. In times of trouble, some people turn to any hope they can get from a higher force that they make themselves vulnerable to even more losses and pain by listening to people claiming to represent god. It is very critical to develop a very strong sense of empirical truth everyday to ensure we do not fall prey to such people.
If god exists, I am 100% sure that he or she does not charge money for his blessings. How can an all powerful being who can create as much money as he or she wants only bless you, if you send him $27 for his blessings. You must see through the deceit here using empirical truth.
At Empirical truth, we consider religions as ancestral theories of our existence. Religions capture the concerns, and beliefs of the age they were created by people who think they have figured out the nature of our existence. While the narration in the video clip below is not too kind towards fellow Christians (And I have some really dear friends who are Christians), the video brings forth some contradictions within the bible that hopefully point everyone to the fact that the bible was written by humans for humans, and not a narration of truth from “god”. Empirical truth has similar opinions of other world regions, and is not singling out Christianity for this empirical truth.
