The considered life. Somebody, I can't recall who, once said, "A man should do three things during his life, first bring children into the world (and raise them to be happy), second plant a tree (grow things and interact with the natural world) and last write a book. I intend to write my autobiography the least part of which will be the events of my life. The better part will be the philosophy, or how I grew from bring raised as a catholic to becoming an agnostic (99% atheist) and humanist. I have raised my children and planted trees but the book that I write may be the thing which lasts the longest and influences my descendants for the better. I hope I can complete it and finesse it before I die. A. C. Grayling is a brilliant philosopher and speaker. I have the amateurs view of history as I have not studied under any professor. Grayling adds nuance to the little I know. And I am grateful to have heard him speak.

I would agree with whomever listed the three criteria of a good life if the care of children in the world was the first point. It is not necessary or enough to become a biological parent. We all know many people who are biological parents but who have never cared for their own or anyone else’s children. A person who cares for children with generosity and compassion has lived a considered life, regardless of the children’s biological origin.

I'm NOT religious and I'm NOT a Christian. However, I am a believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior and it doesn't get any simpler than that (one rule). What a beautiful concept that most people truly don't grasp. Anyone who cannot comprehend that we will ALL be together in heaven including the most ruthless and horrible people you can imagine than they are not a true believer and just don't get it. Historians agree that a guy we have come to know as Jesus was born on the earth and was crucified. The only gap we have to connect is who was Jesus and did he die on the cross to forgive us for ALL of our sins in the PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE. At 55 years old, I decided to read the bible from cover to cover, on my own, in the hope of figuring things out. Well, it worked! I and developed a very comfortable understanding of my relationship with God (which includes a lot of arguing and even cursing at him). God does not need or want my help or anyone's help for that matter (kinda) convincing others that he is real and truly exists. He's got this whole life thing totally under control and he is so much more intelligent than all the people put on this earth combined. God came down to earth in the form of a guy we've come to know as J.C. (Jesus Christ) which means Jesus is God and God is Jesus (Mmmm). Everything God tried to do up that point did not work out as planned and he wanted to see it for himself what were the issues (turns out it was mostly greed via jealousy, and envy). If you can connect the tiny little gap who this fella named Jesus was and why he was crucified (to forgive us ALL for ALL of our sins PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE) than you're a believer. The only other recommendation I suggest after achieving that epiphany is to recite, understand and decipher the "Lord’s Prayer" on a daily basis (if not several times a day). In particular pay attention to "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" line. This statement is why we have morals and a conscience and why we should help each other understand our relationship with God (J.C.). Otherwise, we will never get to heaven until we recognize heaven is on earth and learn to treat each other the way we want to be treated (blah, blah, blah). We all need to experience the absolute best and the absolute worst this finite life has to offer so we can enjoy an infinite life in heaven with EVERYONE. We accomplish this via our own life experiences (testaments) and by witnessing other people’s experiences (testaments and testimonies). We will finally get there one day when we realize that LOVE conquers all and nothing we achieved, obtained or accomplished (or didn't) means anything in heaven. There is no room for hate, jealousy and greed in heaven. This mindset will open the kingdom of heaven to all of us. Scientists believe that when we die there's a very finite amount of time between when we actually die and are proclaimed to be dead. In addition to that they believe we lose a very slight amount of weight immediately after we die too. God intentionally has no concept of time and in those nano or micro seconds before we actually die, God (Jesus) appears to us all and gives us one last chance to accept him (Jesus) as our Lord and Savior and guess what? 100% of us accept his invitation. Kinda sucks that some people get to live their lives as scum bags and dirt bags while the rest of us chose to kinda sorta stay on the straight and narrow. But hey this is God's universe no yours or mine. It's said that the weight loss is actually our sole going to heaven which is a nice thought but not particularly relevant to our journey into heaven other than we made it. I just thought I'd throw that in there (for free). Hopefully you can see that having a conscience is a complete useless and worthless if you believe we are only on this earth one time and become mulch when we die. It serves no purpose to have a conscience other to control us. I didn't think having a conscience and living by the Golden Rule was even relevant on how to get into heaven until I continued to say and decipher the Lord’s Prayer and figured out the heaven on earth thing. This speaker is interesting but I wouldn't give up on believing if I were you. It's completely up to you as it will not affect my life in any way, shape or form. However, it could delay when we all will get to heaven but hey it's for eternity so what's a few years. How wonderful is it to think for one second that there could be such a wonderful place to go after we die where we can see our loved ones again and see each other in the best light, we remember each other as opposed to becoming mulch? Lastly pray often for yourself mostly for little and big things and put God to the test. When they happen or don't happen try to figure out why and you'll get more answers than you'll ever need. Best of luck to ya!

I enjoy Professor Grayling ,having listened to his lecture on Wittgenstein Games theory about twenty times , The only time i stuttered was when in this lecture when speaking of his self as living in the sixties and contrary to what some says " if you remembered the sixties you never lived it " He by intent was making a dig at Bob Dylan '. ( who has won more awards than anyone in academia ,,, from the Pope, Presidents and Nobel Peace Prize ) That dig by him is the downside of academia . Dylan was the centre of the storm ,not a A AFTER THE FACT remark from the comforts of the stuffy walls of Cambridge . I like a piece of ancient wisdom that Carl Jung liked ''' One can see far from the mountain top but in order to understand one has to go down in the valley " Both Wittgenstein and Dylan went down into the Valley thus understands , I have certainly learned from listening to Atheists on You Tube ,that they are two faced , Depending on their audience they personify themselves differently , In this lecture it is clear he is not a wise man and does not understand Wittgenstein as he claims through his powder puff words .has put the lid back on the fly jar,. He should keep his personal life and digs out of his lectures . He casts a shadow over religion so appear enlightenment . I most certainly have dropped Cambridge from the altar of academia ( the new Heaven of Earth ) The upside is I immediately became aware of the value of my own wisdom after understanding how inflated he is rather than being a man of wisdom .He is a academic puff ball that clings like a disease to the academic stick . He is not a genius and this was a great disappointment ..I understand why Russel said upon reading Wittgenstein doctorial thesis .that it was a work of genius adding he also qualifies for a PH D . Meaning genius is above a PHD paper. .

People often think humanism is one of the lofty thoughts by the philosophers. But we all are humanists and it's as natural as being human. The problem of being humanist arises when we are challenged by the harsh reality of inequality, poverty and injustice. These have dehumaniszing effect. The Nordic countries were very wise to set up universal welfare systems from very early times to prevent the dehumanization in their societies. As to the religion, we all should get inspired by the Danish thinker Grundtvig who said it so aptly: Human first and Christian next!

Your answer to the last question was inspirational as is your whole philosophy even though I feel the world is further away from a Humanism ideology than ever, and that hurts. I think its, if you have to google it you weren't there, but like you, I was there and I google stuff sometimes just as a reminder. I was told once by a young man on a mall protest in Bristol to You Tube my own area to find out about the situation there. St Pauls was just coming out of a hairy phase that is romanticised by lots of people but was precarious to live in. Needless to say it is now gentrified. I always think of Leon Trotsky as the politician who died before his accountability could be put to the test. I just don't understand your implied support for the Clinton Dynasty that elevated a black man into office on the strength of his colour. At the time of the American election I realise if Mr Biden gets elected it will be, in effect, his 3rd term of office and that reminds me of Mr Bush Senior, who governed for Mr Reagan. Anyway I'm worried about what is left of Syria if his party wins. As for the vote to leave Europe I believe it was the fascism spouted by PMJ and Mr Farage that took Britain out, not some yuppies who play with computers and elevate themselves into a position of power, in a similar way to Gates etc. Many on the the left (the Trotskyists) egged people on to vote leave too. it was in the last couple of weeks I took an interest, realised we'd lose and voted, bristol was so depressed that day it was pitiful. I've never understood the term Judeo/Christianity that was only reintroduced into the Western speke a few of decades ago, doubtlessly to mask the part Britain/America played in 2nd world war and the atrocities committed in the death camps. Anyway to me there are far more similarities between islam and Judaism, they are both about submission, though, I suspect it might be down to cultural similarities, rather than religious ones. Christianity was Westernised at a really early stage of its development, the Christian church in Arabia is very different though all the religions now adhere to Roman doctrine to an extent. Not the Copts. Glad you didn't respond to the Muslim threat question also for explaining the signifigance of secularism. I think the instruction of the 10 commandments is a healthy but common sensical code of conduct as long as we can bend the rules a little and add to it. I hated RI in school too but as I research Syrian history I'm fascinated by the impact of religion on the Middle East. In your discussion with Tom Holland you pointed out that the Muslim hierarchy translated more of the Greek texts, I think it was because the Umiyyads had barely converted to one God when they first colonised Syria, thus were more open minded. Interesting because I believe the dynasty was the first to consider secularism and it is hated by the adherents to the practice of Islam according to strict Quranic principles. The Mosque in Aleppo was bombed bt the Islamists in the early years of the war. I've got a phote of it in my album so was sad.

Astonishing that such an obviously intellectual giant and thoughtful person could imagine that Humanism is distinct from Christianity on the basis of thinking for yourself and choice. Christians choose the God-Man who towers above all other people in human history. They seek to follow His instructions of loving your enemies and forgiving others no matter what they have done to you. True Christianity brings true life in this world. Having the freedom to operate according to your own choices leads to all kinds of suffering. Human history testifies to numerous crimes against humanity derived from choices made by the perpetrators which no doubt were their considered choices. Is it really the case that no-one has the absolute authority to say their actions were wrong?

Christians do not choose to follow the God-Man on the basis that this choice will lead to less human suffering though, but on the basis that they expect this will save their souls from hell in the afterlife, regardless to how much human suffering ihat choice might lead in this life or not. If their reasons for following the God-Man were instead that this will lead to the least human suffering and most human flourishing in this life, then they would actually be humanists. Albeit one might then argue about whether following the God-Man really leads to the least suffering or not, or what parts of it do and what don't, since "love your enemy" and "forgiveness" aren't the only Christian precepts, nor unique to Christianity.
