fixed the video for you buddy, and deleted the post saying you couldn't add it. Was the extra vars after the YOUTUBE ID. You should checkout some of the video's we have here from Christopher Hitchens, he is a hero of renown. I even deeply respect his philosophical fairness. It is highly intellectual.

I'm of the opinion, sometimes, religion is the missing part of intellectualism. Being. Something that thinking doesn't really require, if you think about it carefully.
Yes, I think therefore I am, but what if I don't think, what then? Perhaps no I, but being? Does that need I? A Philosophical Pandora I open 'ere.

I think religion was once an intellectual caveat, the problem is it's not a philosophy or an intellectual mission anymore. It's pure faith. I don't believe, due to the nature of observer interaction, memory, and identity, one cannot be purely intellectual and indeed, not necessarily pure unquestioning in faith.

I've toyed and wrestled with this for a long time. I've seen so many people claiming to be intellectual, or scientific, which put even my poor charades to a victory, it's scary how slim the barrier between belief and knowledge, and belief and intellect actually is. Some would say it doesn't exist, I'd like to know for sure.. it doesn't appear to be possible.

Unless we can know all things, I think this ancient 'religion' was trying to point out - we cannot know all things at any time, We cannot be unfaithful, at any time. Not without much work. Maybe buddhism or science isn't the answer. But want the universe teaches best, good old balanced arguments and.. well, self honesty, you can't fake that, but you can make shat.

harhar!
