Eric Is Irrationally Angry About Circles | Skeptic Generation | Episode 33 Season 2It has finally happened. Eric has finally had enough with the incessant nitpicking about the roundness of circles and people are going to pay. In other news, give us a call! We'd love to hear about what you believe and why. If it is about circles though, it isn't going to go well for you.Call us at 585-526-8774 or https://tiny.cc/callSG.___________________TIME STAMPS & CALL NOTES 00:00 - Intro01:35 - Eric Needs to Talk About Circles15:20 - Do Christians Have Double Standards? - Philip (he/him) - OK 31:03 - Does Ending Life Cause Suffering? - Nick (he/him) - TN46:46 - Platforming vs Censorship: Where Does It End? - Jack (he/him) - CA 1:03:25 - Is The Universe Determinist? - Phillip (he/him) - CA 1:13:05 - Muslim Counter Apologetics? - Cameron (he/him) - MN1:21:44 - Superchats00:00Intro01:35Eric drops about twenty F-bombs in the first ten minutes of the show because people don't understand circles. Yes, this is how he normally is. Vi leads everyone in some deep calming breaths afterwards because… wow. 15:20This caller wants to talk about the double standards Christians have around watching movies with violence in them versus movies with, erm, spicy scenes. Vi gives some insight into their own childhood experiences as a fundamentalist Christian. 31:03What starts off as a vegan call ends with an argument that the Flood of Noah was actually merciful? What? Vi and Eric walk through the implications of suffering, environmentalism and the factory farming industry, anti-natalism, and the pros and cons of the Thanos Snap in this very interesting but unexpected conversation. 46:46We're all upset by the Far Right trying to censor things, but what about the Left saying that platforming problematic individuals is a bad idea? Is that hypocrisy? The hosts clarify their own positions on platforming and censorship, and push back on the idea that educated people are less censorious. If you're interested in hearing a good take on the free speech and censorship debate, check out Tom Nicholas's video on Elon Musk's attempted acquisition of Twitter here: https://youtu.be/79pS5OXKTkU Also, lest this was not hit upon hard enough in this episode, please look up what Marilyn Manson has been credibly accused of in recent years: https://youtu.be/Ja-UFvajEHc 1:03:25If we don't actually have free will, can we really blame or praise anyone for anything they do? This caller explains why his belief in determinism calms him down in traffic, which is an intriguing idea to the hosts. Eric says his way of empathizing with reckless drivers is to assume they just need to poop really badly. Hey, whatever works to keep your head level! 1:13:05How do you successfully counter Muslim apologetics? This caller has a coworker who he's been engaging in theological discussions with, and is looking for some help. The hosts suggest he watch some ex-Muslim activists and debaters for a good, informed approach to this conversation. If you're interested in expanding your counter apologetics viewing diet, here are some ex-Muslim content creators you can check out (please leave your recommendations for others in the comments!): Zara Kay: https://www.youtube.com/c/ZaraKay Apostate Prophet: https://www.youtube.com/c/ApostateProphet 1:21:44Superchats___________________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?

When doubt creeps in about the faith you've grown up in and nobody will tolerate your questions, when you look at your life ahead mapped out by others and wonder where your ambitions fit - how do you step away? Kim Chakanetsa talks to two women from Tanzania and Scotland about leaving their religion. Zara Kay grew up in Tanzania in a strict Muslim family. She faced disapproval when she chose not to wear a hijab, for moving abroad to study, and for her career as an IT engineer. But the abuse she received after expressing support for gay marriage exposed such hate in her community that she left the religion. On a recent trip to visit family in Tanzania she was arrested. She now lives in Sweden and works with an online organisation, Faithless Hijabi, supporting other former-Muslims. Ali Millar was raised in a community of Jehovah's Witness in Scotland - spending Saturdays knocking on doors trying to convert people. As a teenager she struggled with trying to fit in at school and make friends while at the same time obeying the rules of her religion. Married young she wasn't allowed to follow the career she dreamed of. Realising her daughter would face the same restricted life, she walked out on the religion and hasn't seen her mother or sister since. Ali's book about her experience is called The Last Days.

Zara Kay: The Religous Switch Today I am extremely excited to Switch the Sitch with Human Rights Activist Zara Kay. Zara founded Faithless Hijabi, an international non-profit organisation that seeks to support the rights of Muslim-raised women, especially those who are in the process of leaving or have left Islam. She is a fierce advocate for women's rights and left the Muslim faith as the value system conflicted with that of her own. Zara was detained in Tanzania in 2020 because of her social media posts, though they couldn't legally detain her they tried to delay her travel by misplacing her Australian passport. Zara founded Faithless Hijabi in 2018, with a mission to "Educate through stories," and "to empower an underrepresented group of women." Zara and I discuss her passion to empower other women through education, her passion to recognise honor based abuse and her work with home affairs body in Australia to get more information on how we currently have support for these issues here on home soil.  Join our Facebook Group to chat to Zara or other likeminded community members who are Switching their Sitch,  starting a small business or growing an Empire!  

This week I welcome special guest Zara Kay, founder of Faithless Hijabi and a woman with a story to tell about her persecution as an ex-Muslim in her homeland of Tanzania last year. She is now safe and back home in Australia, but little thanks to the Australian government. We go over all the details...

Happy New Year and welcome back! Get ready for today’s Atheist Experience: The Canadian Invasion! Today ShanonQ is joined by Paulogia to tackle a new year's set of arguments and apologetics. Find more Paulogia content at:http://www.youtube.com/c/PaulogiaOur first caller, Tim in KS how does atheism better account for the world as we find it than his Christianity does? Atheism isn’t a worldview. Biblical interpretation is not a way to look at the real world. We can argue about morality all day but your personal experience does not hold any explanatory power for us. Brian in MD is doubting everything and asks how can any human prove science is reliable? Science has predictive power and It’s the best model we have to investigate the world. So many of us go through a heavy doubt phase, it is completely normal. A god is not needed for a moral system. Good luck on your journey!Enoch in PA asks our take on a story he heard in bible school. Is it probable that a story you were told was prophetic? We have our doubts. We attribute our beliefs to outlandish stories, it isn’t proof of a god. Yes, evidence would change our minds. We might believe in a proven god, but we wouldn’t necessarily worship it.Kevin in NY asks if the universe has a nurturing or volatile aspect to it. The universe does not care about us. We don’t understand how you are making the connection to we need a god for anything, let alone consciousness. See if we can hone in on one of your topics when you call back. Lastly, Jo in Canada asks why atheists are mocking other religions, like drawing Mohamad inappropriately? People are bringing light the injustice of others losing their freedoms or lives for blasphemy laws that we don’t face here. Mockery is a way to assert that freedom but not all atheists engage in this type of activism. There are people that don’t have that freedom, like Zara Kay, who is being held in Tanzania on trumped up blasphemy charges.#JusticeForZaraThanks for tuning in, we are so glad you joined us today. Thanks for joining us to say goodbye to 2020. Welcome to 2021!

Apostasy in Islam is described as the conscious abandonment of faith in Islam by a Muslim in word or through deed. More than 20 Muslim-majority states of the world declare apostasy by Muslims to be a crime with some treating it as a capital offence. While several studies have revealed that Atheism is rising across the world, Ex-Muslims are perhaps one of the most ostracised groups within this changing global landscape on religion. This episode sheds light on the Ex-Muslim position, particularly Ex-Muslim women and how they navigate the fear, shame and stigma attached to apostasy in Islam. Zara Kay, an Ex-Muslim activist and founder of an online story-telling platform: Faithless Hijabi, speaks to us about the Ex-Muslim movement and the complex gendered aspects of leaving Islam.

Relief that I escaped an abusive relationship with Allah and Muhammad. Relief to be free of indefinite guardianship. Relief that I can embrace my true potential. Relief that I can exist without apology." So writes Egyptian-Australian Omayma Mohamed, an increasingly influential ex-Muslim woman and writer for Faithless Hijabi, the organization spearheaded by our past guest, Zara Kay. In this episode, Omayma shares her story and we discuss the vibrant, fast-growing ex-Muslim movement happening in Australia.
