~ Six years later, 2019, and Matt and Don are STILL fresh, interesting, and have helpful and fascinating things to say to callers - thank you both and TAE. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
" salvation by grace, through faith", with Jesus being the "mechanism" … That may sound sensible if you've been immersed in the verbal obfuscation endorsed by religion... But what, specifically, does in mean.
faith means hoping your right when the chances are you're wrong, grace means smiling when it goes tit's up, and salvation is when you see an old fridge and take it to a scrap yard for cash. or is that salvage? theology was never my strong point.
Hi Joseph, I do a lot of miracle healing too. I never meet the people I heal, I don’t even know who they are or where they live. But the people who recover from whatever ailment they had can thank me for the healing. I do it remotely.
I've seen a miracle. It was on a stage right in front of me. A woman got onto a box and a masked man took a big ol' saw an' cleft the box in twain. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the audience. He put the two halves back together, opened the box, and the woman was whole again.
"Space aliens are ridiculous!" There is WAY more evidence for aliens than for his god character and he dismisses aliens IMMEDIATELY... as I do with HIS god character. Their self awareness is non-existent... 🙄
When science gives us *an explanation it adds to our knowledge* . Claiming *God as an explanation adds nothing because no one knows how God does anything* . It can never rise above the level of a claim. Trying to *solve a mystery with an even bigger mystery* solves nothing.
"I've got to get to another caller - Hi, you're on Atheist Experience -- they're rolling the credits -- send an email." Must be getting paid by the number of callers.

We know that Jesus ascended into Heaven (Acts chapter 1) and disappeared behind a cloud. We also know that John saw God in Heaven sitting on a throne just above the clouds. So why doesn't somebody design a machine to take us up to Heaven ? We could visit Jesus, God, Peter, Paul and Mary. Respect !,
What happens if I get to heaven and don't like it? Are there other heavens I could go to until I find the one I want? It is a reward isn't it? Going to a heaven I don't like doesn't sound like a reward to me.
Do you think you would have a choice if god really existed? god existence makes human existence nothing more sheep with a bigger brain and perhaps not even that...
@@insanetester1015 lets hope there's no god cos he seems like a petulant sort of bugger, and if he can invent people like cardinal pell, he likes young boys too.
Theistic reasoning...there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the world....but there's only one star with life on it, just so that the Hebrew war god could pull off a plan to rescue a minority of earth humans from the consequences of his own hatred.
I think he's a little sociopathic, doesn't read people well. Though on the other hand he reads callers well. Maybe just bad at intuiting it, has to try. Addicted to debating anyway lol
@@patar3323 Matt has narcissist tendencies. That is not to say i don't agree with much of what he says, but the manner in which he presents himself and interacts with others is evidence enough for this claim.
Bradley is yet another proof that every Christian is unique: pick and choose verses, redefine them according to what is comforting to them, and come out with their own version which is not supported by the Bible. Here for example, he claims Jesus is the only God since God is indivisible, and then taking this interpretation of his says Jesus saying "I am the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes unto the Father except through me." is actually "God is the way, the truth and the life. Nobody comes unto God except through God". Edit the perfect words of God, so to speak. So what about the other verses where Jesus talks to the Father and says to the Father such things as "Life eternal is that they know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (John 17:3) or "My Father is greater than I" (John 14:28)? Just 2 examples. Was he talking about himself? Aren't there 2 entities?. Christians stop listening to your Priests etc... they will tell anything you want to hear to keep their well-paid jobs. READ your Bibles yourselves.
@@glutinousmaximus yes, it's high time atheists stopped debating and watched religions tear each other apart, i reckon matt should do a three way (er, you know what i mean).
santa claus: knows who is naughty, knows who is nice. god: knows who is naughty, knows who is nice. santa claus: seemingly never ending carols god: really never ending carols i recall reading superman comics with episodes of the bizarro men and bizarro world, and it struck me if *everything* is the opposite of superman's earth, then it's pretty much the same, if you reverse everything you end up back where you started, and the whole thing about god is, he's just like a person (only stupider and more sadistic) and heaven must really be pretty much like this place, and hell is probably pretty much like this place too.
can you do one on fallen angels, i'd like to know more about god's rebellious employees, did they know something we don't? 42:00 once upon a time someone made the claim that they could (make a compound that would) cure polio, and incredible as it sounds, they did, and it turns out the method they used could be done be pretty much anyone, and now we don't have polio (well, you know what i mean). THAT is the test, and polio vaccine isn't a miracle, it's stuff someone found that did the trick.
According to Luke chapter 16, Lazerus, a poor beggar, goes to Heaven and rests in the bosom of Abraham. There is also a rich man in the story, who goes to Hell and is tormented by fire. Abraham can see the rich man in Hell, has a conversation with him, but has no sympathy for the pain he suffers and reminds him that he had good things when he was alive, but now it's Lazarus who is comforted. This shows that the people in Heaven are perfectly aware of the suffering in Hell and the people in Hell are perfectly aware of the pleasure of those in the bosom of Abraham.
i hear that limbo was abolished, was it converted to a ballroom for heaven or an annex for hell? it looks like i'm going to spend eternity in a green room, from what a catholic told me recently.
Steven. Poe? Methinks so. My buzzer went nuts at Chik FilA. But even that... But also, I think he may be a serial prankster. Voice seems similar to the guy who started serious, but segued into a joke. Churches in Las Vegas get chips in the plate. Have chip monks count them. Anybody? ETA: Chuck - Honolulu was one. Maybe also (Charles) - Hawaii
The biggest issue I'd have as a host/co-host is the ongoing insistence of christards to try to talk over the hosts before their counterpoint is even made. The dishonesty of half-listening in order to retort rather than listen to have a fruitful discussion is desperate and disrespectful. I know, the hosts interrupt, too, and with good reason, as Matt D has explained numerous times.
