00:00My question is that can a person live without a belief in God?
00:04Why believe when you can know? What do you do in your labs? You believe or do you experiment? Do
00:09you test? So why can't you have the same approach the entire life for everything that life brings
00:15to you? Why can't you ask questions? Why can't you impartially observe? Real religiosity lies
00:22in deep curiosity, a deep sense of inquiry. And it is from that deep sense of inquiry
00:29that the truth emerges. If you want to keep God in your life, if you want that, then let God be
00:37the center of truth in your life. God as stories, God as history, God as concept, God as belief,
00:45God as rituals, God as assumption, God as tradition makes no sense and is actively toxic.
00:52God as truth is beautiful. Thank you so much sir.
