Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Whut.

Edit. The video didn't show up when I was on my phone.

That said... I still can't respect someone for driving a prius.

Right.  But don't tell the materialists.  To them, you are just a body, only a body.

What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

It's a good message, but hardly a new one.  The same message has been around for a very long time. Some get it, some don't. You absolutely won't hear it as the keynote address at the RNC..
All hail my new signature!

Admit it. You're secretly green with envy.

"science is not about building a body of known 'facts'. ıt is a method for asking awkward questions and subjecting them to a reality-check, thus avoiding the human tendency to believe whatever makes us feel good." - tp

Yes, we must pacify the Eloi ... so us Morlocks can get a tender meal.

That's half-correct. Identifying - or at least agreeing with a lot of the label - as a materialist, I think that we muddle the waters with separating body and mind/brain into a duality.

In the video it likens the body to a car, that we're "driving" the body, like a car. Well, I think we can't be said to "drive" anything, not even our brains. We ARE our brains, in that, that our bodies are merely extensions of our brains.
