Are you interested in doing something? Check out the community action idea generator that Vi built for inspiration: https://perchance.org/community-action-idea-generator 33:10This caller asks whether atheists using religion and ritual to fight Christian extremists is a good thing. Eric thinks that it works well and is effective, while Russell wonders if it's just a little too trolly. If you're interested in the kinds of religions discussed here, check out some of the links below: “Hail Satan?” documentary of the Satanic Temple: https://youtu.be/27RtJp-rhHk Vi discusses the Church of Prismatic Light: https://youtu.be/Nnz3jeA_MPk 42:54Do agnostics and atheists have an impossible standard of evidence? If requiring a modern autopsy of the dead body of Jesus Christ prior to his resurrection is the only thing that will convince you of Christianity, are you basically admitting your position is unfalsifiable? The hosts have thoughts… What would convince them? 59:42 The software programmers geek out… until one of them (spoiler: not Russell) says he thinks that God probably exists because “How can you know for sure He doesn't?” This is a classic argument from ignorance, but Xeno will not be deterred! Eric makes some killer points, and Russell is profoundly unimpressed. This is cathartic. Check out previous calls with Xeno: - God is Like An NFT: https://youtu.be/kHcDKiWk_Ds - I Can't Prove God, But You Should Believe Anyway: https://youtu.be/PNNxwNF8Yns 1:16:40 Is magic like voodoo functionally true? Is there a difference between the supernatural and the preternatural? Is this linked to mental health in some way? What about drugs? We are all very confused, but we enjoyed the West World references. General request: Please don't turn mental illness or neurodivergence into “magical experiences,” that's generally a really bad idea. ___________________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?

Over the years, he's answered countless calls from theists and atheists of all kinds. But in the last year or so, he has taken a firm step back from atheism and hasn't appeared on TAE. He's agreed to come on to talk about why, and about many related issues.

Send a Join Request to the PRIVATE Street Epistemology Facebook Group to meet others who have similar conversations with believers from all over the world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/streetepistemology/ This was my presentation on Street Epistemology called "The Atheist Disconnect: Street Epistemology and Counter-Apologetics" hosted by the Atheist Community of Austin (AA) in Austin, Texas. The discussion took place at the Austin History Center on June 12, 2016 in front of a group of approximately 60 people. Hosts of the 'The Atheist Experience' broadcast were also in the audience, including Matt Dillahunty, Russell Glasser, Don Baker, Lynnea Glasser, and Phil Session. My talk was originally titled "A Different Approach: Street Epistemology", but I decided to change it for the video because I realized after giving the talk that the new title would be more appropriate (and interesting). I'd like to thank everyone who worked to help make my talk happen, including Steve Bratteng, Phil Session, Matt Dillahunty, and Julian Franklin. This talk is dedicated to Mary "Kat" Katherine Griffin, a young woman who was a member of our local Secular Student Alliance (SSA) that was killed in a car accident a few days before my talk. Kat was interested in Street Epistemology and even joined me once to practice the approach on her campus. She was a kind person, eager to help move atheism forward, and will be missed.

In this episode, Bo Bennett speaks with Matt Dillahunty, host of the Atheist Experience cable access television show broadcast from Austin, Texas. The discussion covers many aspects of debate and common Christian argument, along with some suggestions on how to respond and how not to respond. From The Atheist Experience website: I was raised in a loving, Southern Baptist home and was a fundamentalist Christian for over 20 years. After 8 years in the Navy and several years in the hi-tech game, I set out to re-affirm my faith with designs on attending seminary and continuing with a life in the ministry. What began as an attempt to bolster my faith became a continuing investigation into more topics than I ever suspected I'd enjoy. After the first couple of years, reason forced me to acknowledge that my faith had not only been weakened by my studies - it had been utterly destroyed. The thoughts, writings and wisdom of people like; Robert Ingersoll, Voltaire, Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins, Farrell Till and many others, helped free my mind from the shackles of religion without a single moment of despair. I continue to study philosophy, religion, science, history and the many other topics which have helped me to understand reality and enjoy my life. Having spent the majority of my life compartmentalizing my religious beliefs to keep them safe from skepticism, it's thrilling to leave the critical, investigative, hungry portion of my brain turned "on". While my own pursuit of knowledge is a powerful driving force in my life, I'd also like to prevent others from wasting another day on irrational beliefs. Education is the key ...and if my work manages to educate even one person, I'm satisfied. Anyone interested in reading further is encouraged to visit the counter-apologetics encyclopedia, Iron Chariots (wiki.ironchariots.org). Russell Glasser and I started the wiki and we encourage others to help us build it into a great resource for anyone interested in apologetics and theological debate.
