Keeping the Faith
December 23, 2009 209 CommentsI like to talk about religion and/or spirituality on this show a lot, don’t I? I can’t help it, though, because these topics are on my mind a lot. So the idea in this video just popped into my head the other day when I was walking down a street in New York. Just, wham! Hey, what if faith is actually some crazy memory we have from before we were born? Like we remember that we totally were just a part of the big master plan out there before, and now here we are trapped in our human forms that can’t possibly comprehend where we were before, but somehow we just KNOW we were someplace else before and hey! That memory is faith. This is probably not going to be the last stab-in-the-dark definition I give to faith, but it’s an interesting one to me. I’m sure I’m not the first one to think it up, either. If you’ve heard of it anyplace else, I’d love to know because if someone else has explored this idea, chances are they’ve probably done it a hell of a lot better than I. I mean, this video is fraught with bad language choices. Not to mention grotesquely unwashed hairs. So please, if you have any related material on this, let me know! And if you think this is the most banal idea you’ve ever heard, feel free to tell me that, too. Though there’s a good chance I won’t respond to those emails. Just sayin’.

[..YouTube..] @ theresident I’m OK knowing that when I die there will be nothing after, if I”m wrong great…but I have no evidence for anything else. This is coming from a guy who almost died….saw myself floating above my bed….and then talking to people on the other side….and later waking up on life support. It was nothing more than a dream…I believe…when we’re dead…we’re dead.
[..YouTube..] Faith is nothing more but a psychological placebo, it gets to the point of delusion; Religion.And when she got to the “Souls” part of the video I facepalmed.The “Soul” is bullshit too. Our “soul” is nothing more but electronic signals in the brain.If she really was for scientific evidence she’d not be leaning to faith at all, or at least no logical person would.

[..YouTube..] Faith is the result of neural circuitry in the temporal part of the frontal lobe. With out that circuitry, you would have no faith.The circuitry is an evolutionary mechanism that we, homo-sapien, evolved to help us deal with psychological trauma.If you get cut, you bleed, a scab forms to protect you from airborne opportunistic bacteria. The circuitry in your brain does the same thing for your mind.
