Deuteronomy 22:13-21 tells about the case of the slandered bride. Some atheists or feminists try to use it to prove the Bible is anti-women or misogynistic. However, further inspection of the Scriptures and historical context may tell us a different story. 

Husband and Wife cover 1 Samuel chapter 5: The Ark in the Land of the Philistines. It's not good, y'all. There are broken statues and lots of tumors and these guys are like, "um, can you have it back now, cuz we don't want it." Pretty sure the Philistines are about to throw the Ark back at the Israelites. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sacrilegious-discourse/message

Husband and Wife cover 1 Samuel chapter 4: The Philistines Capture the Ark. Eli and his rapey sons bite the dust, as in a "shocking" turn of events, the Israelites lose the Ark of the Covenant during a battle with the Philistines. The wife of one of the rapey guys gives birth and names her son Loser before she dies too. And Samuel isn't even in this chapter! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sacrilegious-discourse/message

Welcome to today's show! In today's episode, I list 3 ways writing takes you from hopeless to hopeful:. And I've decided to end the Atheists in Recovery podcast so this is the final episode. I thank you all for listening.   I announce a new project I'm excited about and invite you to join me on my new journey!   WHAT WE'LL LEARN Writing as a coping mechanism. Writing allows us to sit with the uncomfortable feelings and be curious about them-their contours, shapes and sizes.  Writing can help us honor and light up our stories while prompting us to envision our future selves restored and renewed. Writing as a creative outlet. Writing is just one form of creative expression. It's not for everyone but I feel it's easily accessible for all. Writing that heals. I talk about my own journey with writing and how it helped heal my traumatic wounds when therapy seemed like “too much.”  The 13th-century Sufi mystic and poet Rumi wrote, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Thinkers from Freud to Brene' Brown have all postulated that there's strength in vulnerability.   RESOURCES MENTIONED   Writing Bravely home page.

In this episode Ben and I had a conversation about how to navigate Alcoholics Anonymous as an atheist, agnostic, freethinker, or otherwise secular person. We briefly touched upon what a person can expect to experience at their first AA meeting, and how to handle the overtly religious nature of most AA meetings. Topics covered in […]

Husband and Wife cover 1 Samuel chapter 3: The LORD Calls Samuel. God calls Samuel's name like five times and Sammy is like "whut" because he thinks it's Eli on account of God is seriously absent and doesn't do appearances so much anymore. Something shocking is going to happen but we're left in a year's-long cliffhanger. Eli is pretty chill about his fate and we are on pins and needles waiting to learn how this all pans out. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sacrilegious-discourse/message

Husband and Wife cover 1 Samuel chapter 2: The Song of Hannah / The Sins of Eli's Sons. You'll be pleased to know we refrain from singing, but Wife does engage a Texas accent for no particular reason. God changes the details of previously made promises, but only after a lifetime of rape and fuckery has already occurred. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sacrilegious-discourse/message

Hollywood Heroes: How Your Favorite Movies Reveal God - https://amzn.to/3yo0OXb   Frank Turek is an award-winning author or coauthor of several books, including "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" and his latest, "Hollywood Heroes". He hosts a weekly TV program  broadcast to 32 million homes and an apologetics podcast on over 180 stations. As founder and president of CrossExamined.org, Frank speaks over 100 times  per year, often to youth and college students. He has debated several prominent atheists, including Christopher Hitchens and Michael Shermer.   Seven fictional stories — Captain America, Iron Man, Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Batman, and Wonder Woman — point us to the Ultimate Hero, Jesus Christ.   Think about it. What if Batman knew your name and wanted to be friends with you? What if you were the one Tony Stark died to save? What if it was you Luke Skywalker would stop at nothing to redeem? Hollywood Heroes will awaken you to these questions and help you see the God who stops at nothing to redeem you. And it will strengthen you to invite others into conversations of faith and life in Jesus.   Fictional stories about heroes help us realize that there is evil to fight, there are souls to be won, and there is growth to be achieved. These heroes help us recognize that regardless of religious or cultural beliefs, sacrificing your life for another is a powerful and beautiful display of love.   Fictional heroes help us to reconsider what is tangibly in front of us through the lens of story rather than just living through another day in our ordinary lives. Appealing  straight to the heart, the stories bypass artificial barriers that would normally block them because our worldview has been threatened.    When we examine out-of-this-world qualities like idealism, genius, a willingness to sacrifice, discipline,  loyalty, humility, courage, wisdom, focus, power, and love, we discover that Jesus practices them perfectly.   Connect with Dr. Turek & Cross Examined: Website - https://crossexamined.org/   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/CrossExamined   Podcast - https://pod.link/1297439270   IG - https://www.instagram.com/drfrankturek/   --   Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ  

Husband and Wife cover 1 Samuel chapter 1: The Birth of Samuel. Making fun of someone who can't have babies is just cruel, but as we've learned, the Bible is not lacking in mean-spirited bitchery. No worries, tho, as the bullied wife prays super hard, gets bullied AGAIN by a priest, gets preggers, and then drops her boy off with the bully priest. Makes total sense. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sacrilegious-discourse/message

Welcome to another episode of The Atheist Experience. This week, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Forrest Valkai!First up is John from Georgia, who has been asked by others in their community the classic question, “If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” The caller wants to know if our hosts have a better response to that question than they do.Next up is John from CO who is wondering how Matt could have possibly lost faith when the truth of the Bible is apparently as obvious as math.Dan from FL believes that abortions are murders and that there should be a penalty for those who get one.Joseph from the UK believes that mathematics provides evidence for a creator through the use of probability calculation.Next up is Tony from CA, who is wondering if biological evolution has any connections to societal evolution and the widespread tribalistic polarization we see today?Next is John from the UK who engaged a creationist on a forum, and has questions for our hosts regarding abiogenesis and the origins of life in the universe.Our final caller is Ashton from CA who is wondering if our hosts still hold out hope for evidence and quality arguments after all these years of running the show?

In today's episode of the Talk Heathen! This week, Jmike is joined by Richard Gilliver!First up is Isaiah from South Korea who is calling to discuss the origins of an animal or plants' instinct to survive and perpetuate their species' existence.Next is Tristan from TX who finds that many of the commonly presented definitions of Gods to be contradictory.Next up is Laura from England who believes that they were resurrected three times earlier this year.Edward from WI has questions about having productive discussions with people who are deep into woo and pseudoscience.Next is Mark from AU who disputes that the scientific is the best method we as a species have for determining truth.

Eric is very excited. Last week, we pulled the trigger on buying the pieces of what will be our new production computer. While there will be a whole livestream about this in the near future, we thought we'd give you a sneak peek. Then, we hope to hear all about what's got YOU excited (if it has to do with what you believe and why).

(Limited livestream event) May 22nd: Surprise Birthday Episode Week of June 6th (TBD): Eric & Vi Are In Portland, OR! ___________________TIME STAMPS & CALL NOTES 00:00 - Intro - Eric Shows Us His Parts…. Not Like That 10:58 - Is “Love” a Religious Word? - Douglas (he/him) - ID 25:32 - Theist Says Atheists Can't Understand Love - Jay (??) - MO 44:55 - Should I Join the Church of Prismatic Light? - Levi (he/him) - CO 51:38 - Why Are We Forced to Play By Different Rules? - Chris (he/him) - CT 1:10:29 - Atheist Defends Unconditional Love - Woflos (he/him) - TX 10:20 We have a few calls about love this week. This caller wants to know whether love is a word religious people use to manipulate, and how we can best reclaim the word so it cannot be used for harm. Vi references All About Love by bell hooks, and Eric speaks from personal experience regarding how religion used “love” to control. Curious about more philosophy on love? Go buy the book All About Love: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17607.All_About_Love 25:38Repeat theist caller Jay wants to give us the good news: we cannot understand unconditional love because we do not believe in God. After being confused about why this might be considered rude or condescending, Jay tries to pivot to challenging the hosts to accept God into their lives by “seeking” for 30 days. The hosts are not having it. If you want to watch Eric vs Jay in another video, check this one out: https://youtu.be/PR9D5g9_b_I 45:09Last week, we talked a bit about the Church of Prismatic Light, a new non–profit organization that is currently working to be recognized as a religion by the US government. The hope is that becoming a member of this church will protect the rights of LGBTQ+ folks that are quickly being stripped away. Levi asks: Should he join, or is relying on a religion for rights ceding too much? Watch Vi's explanation of the Church here: https://youtu.be/RNbwH6TCoyw If you're curious about becoming a Prismatist, follow this link: https://linktr.ee/churchofprismaticlight 51:47How do we have “civil conversation” without lapsing into “civility politics”? This caller highlights this issue and how it manifests in atheist circles specifically, and the hosts share their tactics for demolishing dog whistles, educating others, and advocating for a bigger epistemological toolbox. This caller also has some zingers in here, so make sure to stick around for them! 1:10:32Repeat caller Wolfos wraps up our conversation on love by saying that he experiences universal, unconditional love as an atheist. Eric is a bit confused by this and pushes back, while Vi points out how we simply do not have enough words to accurately describe our emotions. Wolfos and Vi also share some painful and evocative personal stories. ___________________Skeptic Generation is LIVE every Sunday at 11:30am-1:00pm CTCall on your phone: 585-LA-MURPH (585-526-8774) Call online: https://tiny.cc/callSG Love the show?

Hellooo fellow combers of candor, it's Friday night, and this week ExXtian Erin will be joined by Neil the 604 Atheist, a familiar face from the ACA show Non-Prophets, and host of his very own Youtube channel featuring deconversion stories. It's a Canadian takeover, and no, we will not apologize. We will, however, feast upon poutine and be terrorized by geese.This week's Patron of the Week is Freethinker 215! Many thanks, but we're still waiting on cheques from freethinkers 1 thru 214.Patrick wants to talk about overpopulation and the tendency of religion to encourage procreation in the interest of making more Christians. Neil thinks that part of this might be a holdover from an age before modern medical care, when juvenile mortality was much higher. Both hosts touch on how education is the key to healthy skepticism, and agree that the younger generations seem to be breaking the cycle of indoctrination. Up next is Sven, who asks our hosts if they believe that a soul is intrinsic to the human experience. Neither Erin nor Neil have seen evidence of consciousness existing outside a physical body, so one might say this is a… no-brainer? I'll show myself out. We'll dabble in the potentiality that souls might be real and we haven't figured them out yet, but until we can demonstrate it, we're not convinced. Mark had a brush with death that reinforced his atheism. This is a great perspective from an atheist in his 70's, Mark's takeaway from almost dying is that kindness is paramount. Couldn't agree more ol' timer! We appreciate this nugget of wisdom!Finally we have some more international representation! Isaiah in South Korea missed the community that religion offers, until Jesus paid him a visit one lonely night. Our hosts quiz Isaiah on how Jesus changed his mind, but he's reticent to describe the experience. It's tough to parse your conversion without details! Spill that tea!That's a wrap folks, join us next week for a very special episode as Dan joins the Secular Student Alliance live at the University of Texas! This episode will be a fundraiser for SSA, and we'll be joined by some very special guests as we promote this great cause, don't miss it!

In this episode, Pastor Jay Lee interviews self-professing atheist and skeptic Calvin Smith. In the first half, Pastor Jay poses some questions about the problems of finding meaning & purpose in life and the grounding of any objective sense of morality without the existence of a god, and how logical evidence suggests the possible existence of a god. In the second half, Calvin poses some questions to Pastor Jay about the immoral actions of God in the Bible, the equivalence of the Bible with other religious texts like the Quran or Book of Mormon, and reasons why we should believe in Jesus over any other god. Guest Bio: Calvin Smith is a musician, podcaster, practicing street epistemologist, and ancient history enthusiast. Calvin has spent the last few years reevaluating his beliefs that he once held onto dearly. It wasn't until his first read-through of the Bible that he began to question everything he once thought to be true. Calvin, who now considers himself atheist, hopes to break the stigma of not being able to talk about beliefs without a screaming match, and hopes to induce critical thinking skills to believers and non-believers alike with the help of his podcast, "Unquestionable with Calvin Smith. linktr.ee/CalvinSmith Youtube Channel: Unquestionable with Calvin Smith **** The closing song for this episode is "Unbelief" by Rachelle Luk (@rachelle_luk) - https://lnk.bio/rachelle_luk **** If you would like to contact with Pastor Jay or support the podcast, visit: dailysabbath.

He answered a few questions we had for him and we can't wait for you to hear them. After that we give you a summary of what Kathleen, a once Mormon thought of a non denominational church. Did she covert and is now a member? No, but she did go and this is what she had to say about it. We would like to give a huge thank you to Life.Church and Pastor Richie for respecting Kathleen and welcoming her with open arms. You made me proud. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thechristianandathiest/support

How can we have better conversations with atheists and skeptics about the faith? Why don't Catholics evangelize? I joined Jake Buscher on his podcast to discuss these ideas and more. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.   John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support   Support the show: Check out my book One Less God Than You: How to Answer the Slogans, Cliches, and Fallacies that Atheists Use to Challenge Your Faith >> www.classicaltheism.com/newbook Support on Patreon to help keep the podcast going and to allow me to produce even more quality content: www.classicaltheism.com/support  

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.Introduction: 1 Corinthians 1:18-24Greeks: Christ is foolishness to polytheists, and to intellectuals who embrace philosophy over religionJews:  He is also unacceptable to the Jews (generally speaking).The Muslim view of Christ is similar to the Jewish view.JewsJesus was a failed Messiah, or rabbi whose claims were exaggerated.Early Judaism: magicianCrucifixion stumbling block. Seizing on victorious imagery, as opposed to the language of sacrifice. (Refer to lessons 3, 4, 5, and 6.)Much of reaction to Christians is historically conditioned: pogroms, crusades, discrimination, etc.Many Jews have met few authentic disciples of Christ.For more on Judaism, listen to this podcast.IslamJesus was only a prophet, and inferior to Muhammad.Affirmation: prophethood, sinlessness, miracles, Second Coming, virgin birth, Word of GodShirk (association), the unforgiveable sinFor more on Islam, please read our book Jesus & Islam, or listen to the podcasts on the actions and words of Muhammad (the Hadith).The uniqueness of salvation through Christ is offensive to moderns, as it was to the ancients. Modern responses:Use the lingo of the narrow road but more as rhetoric than really putting our weight behind it.Universalism: “Accidental” salvation through Christ? Is there an alternative interpretation of John 14:6?If we really have free will, it is hard to see how everyone will eventually make it.  The non-Christian variety of universalism (all will be ultimately saved) is unbiblical.Some Christians think that some Jews, Muslims, Taoists et al will be saved through Christ, even if they have not  understood who Christ is. Somehow his Spirit is at work among them, and they have an implicit understanding of the Truth.Some hold that, since only an explicit understanding and an explicit faith save, the genuine seekers among the world's religions will receive a post-mortem opportunity to learn about Christ.Yet God is the ultimate Judge (1 Pet 2:23). And he tells us to tell them(Matt 28:18-20; 2 Cor 2:14, 5:18-6:1; Rev 12:11).Redefinition of toleranceTolerance of persons vs. tolerance of ideas. Modern tolerance of ideas entails the pretense that, in some sense, all ideas are equal.Tolerance requires disagreement.Beware simplistic, patronizing attitudes on the part of the "tolerant" -- who seldom have any tolerance or patience for biblical Christians who hold to salvation through Christ.Christianity is both exclusive (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) and inclusive (1 Tim 2:4; Rev 7:9). We want everyone to come to the party -- yet we are not the ones deciding who gets admitted. (It is God's party.)Yet these modern responses do not work. Put simply, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one will get to the Father but through him (John 14:6).There is only one monotheistic religion that correctly understands Christ.Next podcast: What the Atheists are Missing

Welcome to another episode of the Atheist Experience! This week, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Shannon Q!First is Larry from VA who is curious to know what parts of our brain are utilized when a person speaks or listens to someone speaking in tongues?Next up is Rosalind from FL who doesn't understand how Atheists can be moral since their morality can be anything.Next is Anthony from VA who says you can still have Christianity without Christ.Up next is Mark from PA who believes that theists are mentally ill and that society should not be tolerant of them. Take it away Shannon.Next is Jay from MO who asks if Atheism is a mental illness, among other enlightening questions.Next up is Gary from CT who asks what makes a real, “insert group label here,” and what type of evidence is acceptable.Next is Luke from FL who believes that xenophobia and racism don't occur naturally, but are generated through science.Our final caller is Victor from TX who seems to have invented their own God with their chosen qualities, but cannot justify any of it.

From the series "Peculiar". Ephesians 2:11-22; Galatians 3:26-28 Pastor Ryan Smith continues in our latest series, "Peculiar: The People of God & the Ethics of Easter" by examining the diversity of the early Church. In a world which categorized and divided people into varying layers of value and privilege, the diversity and unity of Christians shook the world so much so that they were described as "anti-social atheists".

From time to time, someone (religious or otherwise) will declare all of atheist activism null and void. Seth Andrews examines that claim. Plus your calls.

In today's episode of The Atheist Experience, Matt is joined by Everyday_Atheist to see how capable callers are answering questions this week.First caller is Dane in KS who is suggesting that a bracelet that dates back to the 14th century BCE is proof that the Bible is true. How does this bracelet confirm the Biblical stories in a way that proves god? In 2,000 years, when NY City is dug up, will it confirm that Spider Man is real?Next caller is Jamaal from CA who believes that our consciousness is our soul since we don't have a scientific explanation for consciousness. He believes that consciousness can affect the brain state and that the supernatural explains experiences. If we don't have an explanation, you don't get to make something up. Labels that religions tie to a soul are emergent properties of the brain. You can't solve a mystery by appealing to a bigger mystery. Can you prove that consciousness is magic and that it exists? How do you know that consciousness is a soul?James in SC brings up how other animals than humans are living in original sin, and how there are 450 species that engage in same sex acts. Matt puts on his Christian hat to explain that human beings are the only ones who have a duty to god and are accountable to the law. How is it there is the serpent that was cursed to crawl on his belly?Jelmer in the Netherlands wants to remove the word existence by saying if there is a god that is foundational reality, then either it is true that foundational reality has defined properties or it is not true. If your conclusion at the end is still either god exists or god does not exist, then why go through all the trouble? What is the point of presenting an argument that we ultimately agree on?Jack in FL would like to talk about the transcendental argument for god. He states that either our worldviews are going to bottom out or we are going to fall into a coherent paradigm or it will be an infinite set of justifications for our beliefs. He thinks that atheists don't have the basis for logical reasoning. Justin points out that he is begging the question. Matt asks: How do you show that logic is in fact ungrounded? How did you determine that these things must have a grounding?Jon in Canada claims that BLM is harming black people because it teaches to resist arrest and people end up getting killed. What difference does it make if BLM has any connection to Black Nonbelievers? We don't believe you have a point.Vanamali in IL wants to know what the difference is between death cults and religion. It is not about the number of people. Not everything that is under the umbrella of religion is on equal footage to its harm. Death cults hold views that isolate people ultimately resulting in their death.Thank you for tuning in! We look forward to seeing you back here again so please follow the guidelines and stay safe.
