    "When people stop believing in God; the danger isn't so much that they don't believe in, but that they will begin to believe in anything" -- H.L. Men in, 19th Century American Historian.

    I love the line from Carl Jung "Man does not create God, he chooses him."
  • After my parents passed away, family became disconnected. I turned to God for answers- and, I am better still seeking to know intimately. It has brought a calm, a stength, and a knowing.

    Finding God is like climbing a mountain. At the bottom of the mountain there's thousands of paths you could walk, but the closer you get to the top the more the paths blend together. And at the very top there is only the one pinnacle of absolute oneness in total silence, stillness and peace.😊

    "Heed these words, you who wish to probe the depths of Nature: If you do not find within your Self that which you seek, neither will you find it outside. If you ignore the wonders of your own House, how do you expect to find other wonders? In you is hidden the Treasure of Treasures. Know Thyself and you will know the Universe and the Gods." --Oracle of Delphi

    I just joined an Eastern Orthodox Church near me about a month ago after spending the last 20 years an agnostic, and it has been a beautiful experience. Without God, I felt empty. With God, I feel purpose.

    We need Truth. Decay comes from believing/giving power to lies/things that aren't real.
  • @snakescantwalk
    Really great arguments to provoke different thinking, without confining anything to a specific view or religion. Very refreshing content. Thanks for sharing this for free.

    I swear, I just recently established my belief in deism after leaving a religion. I was looking for any video that might've mentioned something like that on my favorite channel of YouTube (you!), this video is what's recently uploaded and it piqued my interest. Watching it halfway and I just want to mention how it made me cry, it feels like a synchronicity. Thanks for uploading this video.

    The ones who know, know. It resonates with them and they understand what Academy is talking about. The others will scoff and mock, as they've never experienced the divine.
  • God has never left us, we've been running from him. Join the Orthodox Church and be with our Lord, who died for us that we might live. God bless ☦️🕊🙏
  • @robryan2079
    I am happy to have found your video… I have been thinking along these lines for a while now, but you have put how I have been thinking into (very eloquent) words. Thank you
  • @ProbusVerus
    The need of God is the need of objective Good. A standing immobile point in this ever changing universe on which our minds, hearts and souls can find rest, focus and peace to renew our efforts in the great fight that is life. A fight against ourselves to find a purpose. Thank you for this video!

    This is perhaps one of the best videos on YouTube. It behooves me to think that platforms like YouTube would actually allow it in todays modern way of thinking . I applaud Academy of Ideas . ❤ ❤❤
  • God isn’t lost, never has been, but has been ignored, spat on, abused, laughed at, disdained. Hmmmm wonder if He is a little ticked? One thing for sure He is not wringing His hands wondering what to do. His plan is playing out perfectly, prophesy is being filled right before our eyes. Trust in Jesus and let him take the wheel.

    The father that had cast out angel . That angel is never a creator. Love thy Father in heaven. Be thankful for what works jesus has done lately.
