"Without truth there is only manipulation'', an important piece of truth in societies under tyranny, and rebellion. While people's are encouraged to seek enormous gain, and 'choosing right' Is ancient, or ineffective for survival regardless of social class.Thankyou very much Mr Guinness your sharing your wisdom.

Os, you are the man!
I could listen to much more of Os Guinness. Thank you for this opportunity.
Os says that we should examine the great atheist writers, and ask ourselves whether they answer life's questions, .. well, for me, they do answer life's questions much more directly and honestly than the Christian answers.
My Atheist family are questioning their ideas. Cheers from Aotearoa NZ.
Wow!! These kids are just gunning for a Christian! Someone should tell them not to bring a pen knife to a gun fight!
Brilliant…Brilliant…Brilliant…!!!
Brilliant! You need an absolute to fight an absolute evil.
Many thanks to the Veritas Forum at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo for sponsoring this event.
Life is not only unfair but also fleeting….More so Life has no meanings whatsoever..if life is not eternal…wether u indulge in science,happiness oriented or in the perfection of your own crafts..if life is not eternal ..then our names will just disappear from the history of our universe!
Thank you for presenting the different stages of the quest for meaning.
Great mind !! A great teacher with a beautiful heart
God bless you
I'm at 1:08:00.. could this guy be more of a condescending dick!? >_>
I think It is because he remains calm and humble that he is one of the greatest minds of our time.
So many are not thinking people so we know they won't understand Os
so glad to hear from Os, mostly that we are just finite beings, but Jesus disclosed the truth so we must faith in humiliation.
All these young students, so naive about everything Christianity means and yet so stubborn and even aggressive. Os Guinness is one of the greatest minds of our time, I wonder how he remains so calm and humble in that situation.
