The podcast kicks off with Lino returning from Japan with stories to tell. After that, Tyler does an Atheist Bible Study. Then, it's Claire's 2nd birthday with Father Gooch Nursery Rhymes. And the podcast wraps up with Sumo Wrestling!
At the beginning of September, a woman in her 60s named Tyger commented on my ministry's Facebook page. She introduced yourself in the comments section as being a transgender atheist and offered some tips on how she thought Christians could best reach trans-identifying people. She continued to comment over the next couple of weeks on various posts. By the end of September, she shared that she had given her life to Jesus at a Charlie Kirk vigil and would be detransitioning. I subsequently got to know Tyger over email, and in today's episode, we have an in-depth conversation in which she shares her life story of what it's like to struggle with your biological sex. It's a fascinating first-hand account that I hope will give you more insight into the challenges people face and why it's so important for Christians to remain firmly rooted in truth.
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Professor of Philosophy, Dr. Christopher Kaczor, to discuss his new work on the reasonableness of belief in God and some of the most popular challenges – and changes – with how we approach this fundamental topic. What can we make of the shifting landscape of belief? Catholic conversions are on the rise! How do we address the perennial problems of Evil? God's hiddenness? And, hey, where did all those atheists go?!Dr. Kaczor is wonderfully articulate even when I am not – so hopefully you enjoy this episode!For more from Dr. Kaczor you can follow him on Twitter and you can find his book, Is Belief Believable? from Ave Maria Press and everywhere you find fine books.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

Periodically around these parts the audience demand for unpaywalling certain subscribers-only episodes becomes too clamorous to ignore.

Welcome to our Thankful For Our Haters 2025 Thanksgiving Special. While we give the hosts and the crew some much deserved time off to spend with friends and family, we wanted you to have something to enjoy your holiday meal with. This year, because we were so outstanding, there weren't many hateful comments about us individually, so we decided to branch out and find out some of the hatful comments that were out there in general. Some of these you are undoubtedly familiar with, but we're hoping some of these will catch you by surprise. So enjoy!Attributions and references 1) George H.W.

Country artist Walker Hayes joins Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans on The Upload to share the powerful story of how he went from skeptic to believer. For years, Walker’s wife Lainey lived out her faith while he stood on the sidelines, unconvinced. But after meeting a man named Craig—a friend whose radical generosity challenged everything Walker thought he knew about love and grace—his heart began to soften. Then, tragedy struck. During the birth of their daughter, Lainey suffered severe complications, and their baby girl was stillborn. Walker calls that heartbreaking moment the event that “made the knee bow.” What followed was a transformation that changed not only his faith, but his family, his music, and his purpose. Walker opens up about grief, grace, and the relentless love of a God who met him in the middle of his pain—and never let go.
In this Wednesday Night Live on 26 November 2025, philosopher Stefan Molyneux humorously shares a story about his wife and "Spinal Tap" before critiquing atheist views on morality. He challenges the audience to consider the validity of moral reasoning.Discussing a caller's confidence issues in sports, Stefan emphasizes self-perception and empathy in relationships. He concludes with a call for authenticity and curiosity as pathways for personal growth, inviting further exploration of these themes.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Joel Settecase continues his in-depth response to an atheist's online rebuttal to his 30 Questions for Atheists, Skeptics, and Agnostics. Focusing on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Joel unpacks what true evidence looks like, why the Bible's eyewitness accounts count as direct evidence, and how atheists often fall into what he calls the apologetic cycle of doom.Main TakeawayThere is abundant evidence for the resurrection of Jesus—both biblical and extra-biblical—but the deeper issue isn't lack of data, it's worldview. Without God, the very concept of evidence collapses. Logic, reason, truth, and morality only make sense in a universe upheld by Jesus Christ.HighlightsJoel examines Dalbert's claim that “there is no evidence Jesus rose from the dead.”He explains the difference between direct and indirect evidence, citing the apostles' eyewitness testimony as valid and authoritative.The radical content and unanimity of the apostles' message confirm their sincerity.Early extra-biblical writings—like the Didache, Clement, Ignatius, Josephus, Tacitus, and Pliny the Younger—further corroborate the resurrection account.Joel dismantles the atheist's claim that “logic disproves God,” showing that laws of logic require a Lawgiver.He contrasts the biblical worldview—which makes sense of evidence—with atheism, which cannot account for reason or truth.The argument that “God did it” is not a God of the gaps fallacy; it's the only coherent explanation.Why It MattersThis episode is not just about answering skeptics—it's about equipping Christian men to lead their families, disciple their kids, and defend their faith with confidence. Joel shows that belief in the resurrection isn't blind—it's grounded in reason, revelation, and reality.Call to FaithIf Jesus really did rise from the dead—and He did—then every person must reckon with His lordship. The same God who raised Christ offers forgiveness and eternal life to anyone who repents and believes the gospel.Calls to ActionPartner with The Think Institute: thethink.institute/partnerJoin the Hammer & Anvil Society and get equipped for apologetics and family discipleship: thethink.institute/societySubscribe, rate, and share Worldview Legacy to help more believers think biblically and defend their faith with confidence.Spotify Optimization Keywords:Christian apologetics, atheist debate, resurrection evidence, biblical worldview, presuppositional apologetics, Think Institute, Jesus Christ, faith and reason, Christian philosophy, worldview defense.

In today's episode of The Atheist Experience, hosts Justin (Deconstruction Zone) and Richard Gilliver seek evidence for God, diving into philosophical arguments, biblical contradictions, and the flaws in theological defenses. The hosts challenge callers to step up their game, urging them to drop the evasions and present solid justification for their faith.Joe in OR, an atheist, asks how to debate various denominations about unfalsifiable claims without being antagonistic. Richard stresses the importance of gaining experience and being humble enough to say "I don't know" rather than risking incorrect biblical arguments. The hosts agree that avoiding errors maintains trust for future dialogue. Is experience the only way to refine the subtle skills needed for secular discourse?Jim in MO, an agnostic, presents Homer Simpson's classic rebuttal to Pascal's Wager. The argument fails because it ignores all other gods, potentially sending the wagerer to an Islamic or Greek Hell instead of the Christian one. The hosts agree this standard counter-apologetic is effective for exposing theological hypocrisy. Why do theists assume everyone defaults to the Christian god concept?Adam in NC, an agnostic, asks why Stephen was martyred for the same ideas Paul later preached, noting that Paul was at Stephen's execution. Justin explains Paul's ministry focused on Gentiles outside Jewish strongholds, minimizing conflict with elites. Adam also questions Paul's conversion story due to contradictory accounts in Acts. Do internal biblical contradictions undermine Paul as a reliable source?Good Question in WA contends atheists incorrectly concede that all morality is subjective, arguing objective morals are based on objective causes. Justin pushes back, arguing that morals are mind-dependent; if all minds ceased to exist, so would morals. Objective means and measures for adhering to a subjective framework do not make the framework itself objective. Why insist on transcendental objective morality if the system relies on conscious receivers?Patrick in FL claims atheism is nihilism and just another faith, as atheists cannot define what evidence for God would be. Richard challenges Patrick on why he uses a different name every week and dismisses his assertion that he neither believes nor disbelieves as dishonest. The hosts demand Patrick present evidence for his God-belief, which he fails to produce before the call is abruptly ended. Why do some theists conflate atheism with nihilism?The Supreme Leader in CO asks, hypothetically, if God's existence (the first mover) was proven, why atheists wouldn't follow him, citing his tyrannical nature. Justin focuses on failed biblical prophecies, demonstrating how quotes are taken out of context (e.g., Isaiah 7's "virgin birth"). Richard applauds the caller's maturity for listening to the context. Does belief in a God compel moral submission to that God? Thank you for tuning in this week! We will see you next time!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-atheist-experience--3254896/support.
“Science disproves God.”You've heard it. Your kids hear it at school. Atheists repeat it like it's settled fact.But here's the truth: science only exists because early scientists believed in an intelligent Creator.Newton, Galileo, Kepler, Bacon — the fathers of modern science — all believed the universe was rational, ordered, and discoverable because a rational God created it.In this episode, we break down:✅ Why science actually depends on a Creator✅ Why the Big Bang points to God, not away from Him✅ Why something must be eternal — and it can't be the universe✅ Micro vs macro evolution (and why Christians should know the difference)✅ Why the Bible never states the age of the earth✅ Multiple Christian interpretations of Genesis — without panic✅ Why “everything came from nothing” is a bigger miracle than the Resurrection✅ How to explain this confidently as an ambassador for ChristIf you're a Christian dad, you MUST be able to answer these questions for your kids: • “Does evolution disprove the Bible?” • “Did Jesus and science ever conflict?” • “If there was a Big Bang, who caused it?” • “Does Christianity contradict astronomy or physics?” • “Where did everything come from?”This video equips you with clear, simple, powerful answers rooted in logic, Scripture, and science.Stop being intimidated by the science vs religion debate.There is no conflict — only clarity.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador's Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

Vor 18 Jahren hat Heinz Oberhummer die Science Busters mitbegründet. Um nach einer erfolgreichen Karriere als theoretischer Physiker nach der Emeritierung möglichst vielen Menschen zu erzählen, wie spannend, spektakulär faszinierend Wissenschaft ist. Viel interessanter und absurder als jede Heilsgeschichte, wie der glühende Atheist gern augenzwinkernd ergänzt hat. Neben der Liebe zu Alpakas, deren Kot noch heute als Pokal Teil des in seinem Namen jährlich vergebenen Heinz Oberhummer Awards sind, hat er auch sehr viel größere Tiere gemocht. Zum Beispiel Mäuse. Am 24.11.2015 ist Heinz Oberhummer leider viel zu früh gestorben. FM4 spielt in Erinnerung an ihn und seine großartige Art, Menschen für Wissenschaft zu begeistern eine Kolumne aus dem Jahr 2013. In der er mit Martin Puntigam bespricht, was passiert, wenn sich zwei Galaxien treffen. Sendungshinweis: FM4 Bis 1, 22.11.2025, 10 Uhr

In today's episode of The Atheist Experience, Justin (Deconstruction Zone) and Mike Briggs (Geology Daddy) tackle the nature of morality outside of religion, cosmological origins, and deep critiques of biblical literalism and theological consistency.Sam in FL promotes the "cult of X," defined by hedonism and lack of morality, claiming it is his faith. Recognizing him as a troll, the hosts insist on a clear argument for his specific God, noting he provides no philosophical substance. Larry in TX discusses secular humanism and theists' misperceptions of atheist morality. Mike stresses morality is internal, based on introspection and empathy, not divine authority. Justin suggests critiquing supposedly "objective" God-given morals using internal biblical examples (slavery, genocide). Hollis in WA, who is deconstructing, questions why God did not reconcile the fallen angels. Justin explains this is an ancient, widespread archetypal theme across Near Eastern mythologies. The hosts clarify that the Satan-as-fallen-angel idea developed much later, noting the biblical inconsistency that other fallen angels are imprisoned. Ahmed in Germany questions the cause of the Big Bang and the need for a creator, citing suffering as a potential test. Mike explains that quantum fluctuations in a vacuum might spontaneously produce universes, noting the Big Bang may not be the beginning. The hosts challenge the test premise and expose the God of the Gaps fallacy. Marilyn argues "we're all gods" because we are the image of God and claims atheists are closer to the truth than Christians who require a master. Mike challenges her ambiguous definition of "God" and points out the contradiction in her simultaneous belief in Jesus as *the* son of God. Justin criticizes her "perfect design" concept using common physical flaws (choking, needing glasses). Ulrich in Mexico claims veganism is wrong and that lacking connection to God "messes up your mind." Justin demands substantive evidence for his God rather than mere complaint. Using internal biblical critique, Justin pressures O Rick on the moral acceptability of Deuteronomy 22 (stoning non-virgins) and 1 Samuel 15:3 (killing Amalekite babies). O Rick repeatedly evades the questions, exposing his theological inconsistency. Des in Jamaica, who is deconstructing, asks what prevents atheists from being evil, arguing fear of eternal consequence keeps Christians moral. Mike explains morality is an evolutionary adaptation driven by empathy and social cooperation. Justin argues Christian theology offers no moral consequence, as sins are forgiven solely by accepting Jesus, meaning moral behavior is irrelevant to destination. Billy in KY, an older atheist living in the Bible Belt, expresses his struggles with the chastisement and ridicule he faces in his community after deconstructing his Christian faith. Justin validates his position, noting that reading the Bible is often the key to deconverting believers. Thank you for joining us this week!

In today's episode of The Atheist Experience, Forrest Valkai and Godless Engineer dismantle claims regarding prerequisites for end-times prophecy and critically analyze an English teacher's grammatical objections to using singular "they/them" pronouns.Anson in gerrymandered anuses asserts end times prophecy required the 1948 rebirth of Israel, arguing Paul was mistaken about Christ's imminent return. Hosts critique this "going out of business" scheme, asking why God is constrained by geopolitics and human evil. They reject the claim that atrocities like the Holocaust could be "worth it" for salvation. Why must suffering precede divine intervention?Jason in misanthropic orangutans, an English teacher, objects to singular "they/them" usage on rigid grammatical grounds, preferring "one" or "we." Hosts note that singular "they" has been standard since the 1300s, citing the Oxford English Dictionary. They argue that refusing a requested pronoun in favor of using a person's name is unnecessarily difficult, dismissive of their identity, and driven by personal comfort. Is linguistic conformity more important than human respect?Thank you for watching this chaotic episode.
