Atheist Roundtable

Every time I talk to a believer these days, I hear two things:  the believer thinks most christians are wrong and those christans are not following the bible; and the believer to whom I am speaking is right and IS following the bible.  

What's us with the no-true Scotsman nonsense?  Why is this used so damned often?  How can atheists respond to it?

My thoughts plus your calls equal awesomeness.

When I was a believer, the idea that we should fear god always bothered me.  These days, I see fear as the motivation to be religious that is all so commonly used.

Let's talk about these fear tactics.  Let's look at how fear is used in religion.

Plus, your calls.

Let the awesomeness flow.

I hear believers say that this life is only a test, and that one day, we will all be able to understand god's plan once we are dead and in heaven.  Tonight's show will focus on this idea that this life is but a test from the almighty.

Plus, your calls.

The awesome sauce floweth over.

What does the atheist do at Easter?  With all the religious trappings of this, the most important holiday of the Christian religion, how does one stay secular, especially with small children and religious families in the picture?

I'll take a look at how my family survives the holiday intact and sane.  

Also, I want to talk briefly about separating beliefs from believers.

Plus your calls.

 

So much awesomeness you could die, and the awesomeness would bring you back to life.

He may have been a horrible person. He may have spewed hatred and bigotry.  He may have been one of the worst people ever.  Fred Phelps was still better than god.  

Why am I thankful for the Westboro Baptist Church?  Why do I feel I owe a sincere debt of gratitude to the Phelps clan?  What the hell is wrong with me?

Tune in to find out.  Plus your calls.

Awesomesauce.

What's the worst thing about being an atheist?  What really sucks about no t having faith?  What is the worst thing about losing religion?

It's not what you think.

Plus your calls.  This will be awesome

Can morals be grounded without an external source?  If there are standards of morality, from whence do they come?  How can anyone make a judgement of good or evil without a standard?

Let's look at the moral argument for god, and condemn the bastard to the realm of imagination for failing so badly!!

Plus your calls.

Do I even have to say awesomesauce?

Can we define god into existence?  Can we use semanitcs to be apologetics?  Is anyone convinced by this?  The Onological Arguement for the existence of god is a complete failure.  We'll explore why.

Plus your calls.

By definition, this will be awsome.

The universe appears to be designed.  DNA is a code, and codes come from intelegent minds.  Look at how complex the universe is!  How could the eye possibly have evolved?

In this epidose, we'll discuss the design argument.  Is irreducuble complexity reasonable?  How do we get an eye?  

Plus your calls makes the show more awesome than awesome.  That makes sense, right?

TAG:  The Transcendental Argument for God.  The biggest bunch of bull ever comprised.

This episode will discuss the ways of TAG.  If Chet from New York calls in, it will be filled with awesomeness.

Can anyone reason without god?  Can people find logic without a creator?  Is TAG anymore than a "I know you are but what am I" game with god?

Your call makes it awesome.
