SHOW NOTES
In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Johnny Angel. Welcome back to the co-host chair Johnny! We loved having you on with us a couple weeks back, glad to see you again!
Let’s get to calls. The first caller in the queue is a returning caller, Javier from Florida. He would like to discuss how he had a street discussion with a preacher against theism and it had him in a bit of a fluster. It sounds like he is almost on his way out and clinging to religion it seems. Good luck to you Javier!
Next up, Dormand from New Jersey claims that he can prove a god and this god is all powerful. He’s called before and we’ve gone over this before with him. But this time he claims he can prove it with mathematics and philosophy! Show your work then, I’m waiting for the equations and eventual fallacies. queue Jeopardy theme
Nathan is up next, claiming he has good reasons to believe in god, and it’s FAITH. It’s our problem we don’t believe because we are atheists, man. C’mon dude, give us something to work with here. You’re not providing us with anything to discuss here. FYI, faith is NOT a good enough reason.
David had a vision in 1994! The room turned a hue of pink and was visited by someone (maybe Jesus) who was 10 feet tall. This person spoke and he provided instructions to not cut their hair and to meet them on a mountain in 2011. Hmmm… Was it drugs and alcohol? Why didn’t he explore this further? Sounds like an argument from personal experience… What the heck is in the water in Colorado???
Next up, Zachary in Alabama wants to talk about how incorrectly atheists assess evidence and have an inherent presupposition against believing that Christianity is true. He continues to say that it is “totally true.” It isn’t true until it is proven to be true and faith on it’s own is not a reliable path to truth. Oh boy and we end on the morality of slavery, Matt’s, so not, favorite topic.
Our last caller of the day, Raul from Texas. He claims he can prove intelligent design. Look at the stars, especially the constellation Orion, The Big Dipper-Ursa Major, and Scorpio! We are blind to these constellations being figures that were constructed by god. Wow! Humans time over time look for patterns and this is definitely one of those times. Sigh.

I'm an atheist as well but I don't dare bring up slavery in a fairy tale when we use slaves to this day. We turn a blind eye on slavery, genocide, and child labor.

Many of us have simply been lucky to have avoided or escaped the many psychological coercions perfected by millennia of religious practice. I'm sure you will agree with the suggestion that it behooves us to regard the victims with some empathy. And for sure that's not to suggest any of us reduce our efforts to help those victims overcome their astonishing delusions. Live long and prosper.

@REDPUMPERNICKEL 4 года назад

@MindCreatedAll I am happy to be free of the many totalitarian psycho-social coercions that were once essential to our group survival but which began to obsolesce three thousand years ago when at long last civilization began to make self conscious people who, in consequence, began to insist on democratic organization because, of course, self conscious people want fair treatment. We really want you to stop fighting for the restoration of kings and clergy and join us in our struggle to advance democracy. Certainly we need your help to fight the oligarchs who are striving once again to squat atop the pyramids of power and in the process eliminate, or worse, re-enslave us. But anyone can get on line and some of us are still children who have yet to realize the counterproductive effect of casting aspersions towards potential conversions. You too perhaps, "wallow", really?

@greyeyed123 4 года назад

@Jim Merrilees My sense is (and I may be wrong) is that they are not rejecting other gods due to critical thinking and skepticism, but they are rejecting them to the exclusion of the conclusion that their god is the real one. If they start off with the conclusion that their god is the real one, then all the others have to be false by default. They either never apply critical thinking or skepticism to their conclusion (that their god is real), or they indeed think they have, which excludes the other gods. And occasionally they *will* believe other beliefs, but spin the as "evil" elements in their own belief system--so, for example, aliens or ghosts or Buddhism or Scientology gets grandfathered in to their preexisting beliefs as "demons" or "devil magic" or "the work of Satan to poison your mind against god", etc. Similarly, Scientology might incorporate Christian symbolism to pull in people from a Christian background, Islam claims Jesus as an important prophet (although not the son of god, and not resurrected), or Christianity incorporating Pagan symbols and celebrations to pull in more converts from a Pagan background. In essence, the gullibility is quite malleable over time and across belief systems, and it seems most religious groups are well aware of this.

@greyeyed123 4 года назад

@Waterlec This is possible. But it's also possible they believe there is good evidence for their beliefs on par with evidence for anything else, as often they are fed this notion continuously (implicitly or explicitly) with church, family, friends, and community. In my tiny town, for instance, there are dozens upon dozens of churches the most "exotic" being a Mormon church. If everyone around you believes something weird, you may assume there MUST be good evidence for it--and their is psychological peer pressure to believe their must be good evidence also, as you know if you contradict something so fundamental to the identity of family, friends, and community...you may have a much more difficult life. Moreover, if there are no examples of alternative belief, or nonbelief, in the immediate community, it takes a very strong individual emotionally and intellectually to research with enough depth to come to a better conclusion. (Matt himself is quite bright, but was completely indoctrinated until well into his 20s because he just never thought about it that much and hadn't researched anything for himself.)

@greyeyed123 4 года назад

@Waterlec I never said it was good. I was explaining how some people believe they have applied critical thinking to their beliefs, when in fact, they have not. Someone once asked Christopher Hitchens how the concept of hell could be a product of wish fulfillment if religion as a whole is indeed a product of human desire to not die, go to heaven and be happy forever, etc. Hitchens said hell is for other people to go to--the people you hate, which fulfills your wishes for them. The reason religion is legal is because people have to have the freedom to think and believe whatever they want in order to learn or grow at all. You can't outlaw religion any more than you can outlaw stupidity, or MANDATE intelligence. That isn't how reality, or laws, work.

@greyeyed123 4 года назад

@Waterlec Ok ok ok, but don't get too angry about it or you will start to look like the religious fanatics. (In most circumstances, if someone is telling you about their religion and how you are going to hell, if you tell them you are not interested and they continue on, that is harassment.) Freedom of thought, expression, and speech is the very disinfectant we need to weaken religion and general ignorance in all forms. If you try to suppress religion/ignorance artificially, they will explode. You cannot control what people think or believe any more than you can control how smart or stupid someone is.

Raul is only calling in to preach. And that is something that other hosts have said not to do because the show is not a platform for theists to preach and proselytize. Matt's microphone keeps clipping and he can't seem to get through to the callers who talk incessantly. This happens since the new format of the quarantine shows began. This makes it very difficult for Matt or another host to maintain control of the conversation. And it turns the advantage in favor of the caller to keep talking over the host. People like Raul are dishonest callers because they do not stick to what they claim they're calling about. They're only using the show to grandstand and gain attention to their friends and fellow theists. They have no intention of having an intellectually honest conversation with the host.

Raoul: How God could prove himself to the entire world. He sends every person in the world a written letter at the exact same time according to the timezone. Let's say 12 pm in each time zone, not an email. A written letter specifically catered to the individual and the letters are delivered in a unique way. Of course people would still be skeptical. But God follows up by detailing a plan to educate the world to draw people to the same truth. God is patient. He also follows up with declaration of being the king of the world, and promises that all our needs will be met within a system where people will still work and have freewill. But if someone falls out of line, God deals with people in a way that leads people naturally to genuine trust and change in character. No more stoning people to death to get people to follow. It might take a few weeks or months for everyone to come around (with healthy minds gifted to us). Don't you think that if humans were created to follow God, that each person at their heathiest mind sets and necessities fulfilled; diseases healed, the whole world would follow the one true divine power (maybe it's an infinite amount of gods and goddesses) living in a world of equality, without borders, speaking the same language, no need for faith, we would experience a sort of heaven, if you will. Perhaps some people would choose to not follow or be a part of the new world. God would just erase their existence free from suffering and let them go. How many people would be against this idea? It's not consistent with reality, thus it's impossible to imagine, but it's not far from what you already believe except the divinity I have invented far exceeds your god in morality. Evidently she does not exist. I do believe we would follow a true god of love who doesn't send people to hell. My point is, how can a human being come up with a plan that claimed gods do not come even close to matching with any effort to unite humanity and draw the whole world to truth and love? If your god can do all things, why is finding the truth of her existence such a difficult task involving arguing, agreeing to disagree, separate religions, wars over belief, separate demominations, and people interpreting ancient texts right or wrong that have been translated from different languages in the midst of fslse prophers, scam artists relying on imperfect human beings to trust as his messengers. There would be no Devil but I can't imagine a life of happiness without sadness. Nature is the answer. I honestly believe if a deity tried this plan, the vast majority would follow and it would take some time to adapt, but as long as our recreational activities, and access to pleasure was not inhibited, the world would follow. This is partly the reason why I would believe in universal salvation if this god existed. But it's not based on reality, so it will never happen. One of the reasons why I don't believe in heaven as a future home for us to live as our true natural selves. It is absurd but what is more absurd is Christian theology promising an invisible kingdom waiting for us after death. If you drink the kool-aid, the spaceship will take us to a new planet. Once you die, you will be rewarded. It's a death cult.

The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanished in a puff of logic. "Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing. Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best selling book 'Well That About Wraps It Up For God'. ~Douglas Adams

Raul should probably look at the sky, and a book about astronomy, before he makes these claims about the constellations. A few observations: A) they generally look nothing like what they are portrayed as. If you actually see a bear in Ursa Major or Ursa Minor, you're smoking better stuff than I am. B) different cultures have different constellations. The Aztecs had different groupings, containing different stars, than the ancient Greeks or Arabs. The groupings are arbitrary, which would not be the case under your model. C) with the sole exception of the Southern Cross, there are no Christian constellations. Lots of Greek mythology, though. Maybe Zeus is the one true god? And one other thing: the evidence of miracles: "Some Roman guy, I don't know who, said there was this other guy running around performing miracles!". Priceless!😄

Also, it feels like he murdered his wife. "I told my son about death just in case he encountered a corpse, and even though she wasnt sick and I had no reason to think it would happen, my wife died a week later. It helped my son deal with it."

I have been a clear thinking Atheist, (Anti-Theist), since my early teens. I since have studied Philosophy, Psychology, Behaviorism, and Transactional Analysis. I subscribe to the Scientific Method. I have studied Self-Organization in Nature. Entropy is not the "END", rather it is an observable creative force! I believe Einstein's "Curvature of Space-Time", (Which causes Gravity). Space-Time is CIRCULAR, and a circle has neither a "Beginning, nor an End". There is no such thing as "Infinite Regress". I always rejected the creation nonsense called "Big Bang". Our Universe had neither a "BIGINNING" nor an "END". This is religious rubbish! The Universe is a system of cycles!

@MindCreatedAll Its ironic that christians/theists appeal to faith aka "I believe it, its written in this heavily edited book therefor its true" while belonging to a religion that disagrees with reality. But somehow the same religious people claim to have facts... while using the internet and computers.

Raul it’s called pareidolia. “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern” Some cultures see Orion as a figure, others see it as a deer and 2 hunting dogs, or a bison, or just a shape. Others put significance into the 3 bright stars of Orion’s Belt, others put no significance to any stars.

I think one of the major problems when it comes to these types of arguments is.... or at least seems to be the idea that humans are the epitome of greatness, that we are in some way the best of what can be. I think we should be open to the idea that this may not be the case and we should also understand that we can be incorrect at times with the things we believe in. I believe there is nothing more dangerous than a person who thinks they are 100% correct and have no chance of being mistaken, in my opinion this is the kind of thinking that convinces a person to blow themselves up or fly planes into buildings .

Hilmar Zonneveld There is a specific pattern that the Stars developed, it’s called gravity. Random isn’t simply anything that wasn’t created with the intention of a mind. It’s also something that lacks a method. There is a method to the universe by natural means.

@MindCreatedAll "atheism" is simply the lack of belief in a god. Of course that doesn't have "answers." Any "answers" are outside of atheism, because atheism makes no claims. It's simply, merely, only, the lack of belief in a god. Furthermore, what good are "answers" if they're bogus anyway?
