Really well done video...but in essence its 12 minutes and 55 seconds I could have spent on something more important.

By all means, yes.  Of course, many. things more important than our immortal souls.

It is heart breaking that so many never even get around to the basic questions of existence.

Here's my counter question to the OP...why can't you believers just let the rest of us be? Why must you constantly shill for your religious beliefs? Yes, life is a wonderful thing, and I'm thankful to be a part of it but I don't spend time wondering how it all began.

It is our job to spread the Everlasting Gospel. We have been commanded to do so with our testimonies. [b]The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.[/b] Don't get all upset when someone tries to share the gospel with you. They just care about you and want you to experience what they think is awesome.

I'm not getting 'all upset' I'm merely responding to the call in the thread title. For clarity (as I don't speak religionspeak) what does the bit I highlighted in bold mean exactly?

I very much appreciate your response.

And the person who responded to you gave you a partial answer, because Christians are not simply told to spread the gospel.

Instead, it is a spiritual compulsion, born out of love for our fellow humans. I don't know you personally at all, but I certainly care about you as a human.

And I care all the more about you as an eternal spirit, and particularly where the eternal you will reside; either cut off from your source (by your own choice, because God is not a stalker), or joined with your source. (Biblically, Jesus uses marriage symbology quite a lot.)

I might suggest that, rather than becoming offended by a Christian reaching out to you, try to remember that they are doing everything they can to save you.

As an aside, if God does not exist, there is no basis for morality. In fact, by Darwinian standards, anyone who reproduces the most and garners the most assets while alive is, by scientific definition, a biological success story. This allows for any actions to obtain these results, including rape and murder.

As such, Christians, who put the spiritual well before the biological, do not want to live in such a savage world.

Why do you?

Original Message The video is well-narrated and accompanied by an artist for graphic interest. It's under 15 minutes long.

I am interested in hearing your counter-arguments, for apologetic purposes.
