Why Worry? In life there are only two things to worry about:
Whether you are well,
or whether you are sick.
Now if you are well,
You have nothing to worry about.
And if you are sick,
You only have two things to worry about:
Whether you get better,
or whether you die.
If you get better,
You have nothing to worry about.
And if you die,
You only have two things to worry about:
Whether you go to heaven,
or whether you go to hell Now if you go to heaven,
You have nothing to worry about.
And if you go to hell, You’ll be too busy shaking hands with Your friends,
that you won't have time to worry.
So Why Worry?
Peace be with you all.
Whether you are well,
or whether you are sick.
Now if you are well,
You have nothing to worry about.
And if you are sick,
You only have two things to worry about:

So Why Worry?
Peace be with you all.

Bertrand Russell's, demolition of Christianity
Amazing when you listen to it that he was speaking in 1927 (and correctly predicted the evil of the Catholic Church in modern day Africa)
"Conquer the world by intelligence and knowledge not by fear and ignorance"
Brilliant stuff (not for the congenitally thick, contains long words and adult themes)

It's really simple Les, you either believe in humanity, with all its beauty (and failings), or you believe in unicorns
Your choice,
to paraphrase the modern lexicon, choose the red pill or the blue pill
I think we all know you have chosen the blue pill

No worries 22BUK and thanks, life is always easier if you post youtube videos of a cat playing a banjo or a dog having sex with a parrot
I realise that the video I posted is not easy to follow, it deals with complex themes and demands a certain level of intellectual commitment (sadly lacking in pretty much everyone posting on this forums)
One thing i have learnt in life is that the easy way is most often the wrong way
Life is hard, - but trying, "having a go" and attempting to get it right is worth it in the end
religion is the easy way, a cop out if you will, - defer it all to a higher being, it is, ultimately an abdication of humanity

I do agree that the word 'tolerance' and nothing else from the religious is a cop out to avoid reasoning.
The video didn't inform anything new for the first 15 minutes tbh. We already know in this time and age about the barber paradox argument and natural law stuff etc. relating to man-made beliefs. I watched half of it last night, and then I needed to sleep. I'll watch it all tonight. I think in last 15 minutes he may predict about the evil of Catholic Church in Africa, and I agree with his 'then prediction', anyway.
