The Tall Friendly Atheist Dad Podcast

In a new series inspired by Prof. Jordan B. Peterson's disastrous series of "debates" on the YouTube show "Surrounded", I will go over some points that need responding to, how the Surroundees could have improved, and why I think Peterson's appearance on this show was a self-inflicted disaster.

There's Christian apologetics.

There's bad Christian apologetics.

And then there's J. Warner Wallace, former cold-case police detective turned Christian propagandist and salesman.

In this episode, James The Skeptical Ghost Heathen and I try keep our composure as we discuss Wallace's slick video where he tries to say Jesus revolutionised education. And if there's ever an apologist claim that stretches the truth, this is it.

Well, when I sat down and thought about it, this was the most appropriate title I could think of.

Because why else would you release a video titled "They KEEP Spreading This Lie About the Bible & Getting Away with It" which is just a rant that no-one takes this "Observational/Historical Science" duality seriously?

Anyway, enjoy if you like the idea of Ken Ham passively-agressively complaining.

Wouldn't you know it? The podcast I started after I got bored and then really gave me something to do right around the time of COVID lockdowns has finally hit triple-digits!

And to celebrate, I have a wide-ranging chat with James, The Skeptical Ghost Heathen where we cover topics such as:

- Trump tarrifs

- How we reached our respective personas

- Deconversion from Christianity and our respective backgrounds

- Half the stuff apologists and zealots are afraid to admit

It's fun, it's funny, it's a good hour of your time!

So, the YouTube channel ChristRighteous Ministries put out a video stating that atheists actually know that God exists. Now, he didn't make an argument any stronger than "atheists intuitively know that God exists" and "you need God to argue against God" - in other words, presuppositional apologetics!

Many thanks to Deborah Grace and Victim Of Illusion for the intro!

Here's my 30-minute response to a 4 minute video!

Hey, look! Two episodes in one year! I'm on a roll...

Anyway, in this episode, I give my thoughts about a short clip from Cross Examined where Alisa Childers seemingly puffs up Frank Turek's ego while bemoaning how she felt guilty for not being able to stop her friend from leaving the faith.

Some time back, Wes Huff and Billy Carson had a debate about the nature of the Old and New Testaments where Billy Carson attempts to argue that Jesus wasn't crucified.

Old mate Waddo You Meme presented a fairly uncomplimentary take on the matter, a take I mostly agree with, and I was left thinking - this is not how you attack Christianity.

It's react-ception!

Love him or hate him, you'll never die wondering what Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire thinks on a variety of topics.

In this episode, I react to Ben reacting to really bad (and a couple of good) takes on religion.

Anyone who has been been involved in the Christian-atheist rumblings on Twitter for any amount of time may be familiar with the name SJ Thomason. 

By trade, SJ Thomason is a professor of business administration with a PhD in the field. 

However, SJ Thomason is also a Christian apologist, and the reason I juxtapose the two is that Christian apologetics is this very unique cultural phenomenon in which people who are eminently book-smart in areas not related to religious belief, for some reason suddenly jettison intelligence and critical thinking skills to avoid uncomfortable conclusions about their faith. 

So in light of this, about a year ago, SJ released a 2 minute video stating 10 reasons to not be an atheist.

In this episode of "The Tall Friendly Atheist Dad Podcast", I respond to the video taking over atheist YouTube - Redeemed Zoomer’s ALL atheist arguments answered in 10 minutes. I’ve seen Prophet Of God respond, I’ve seen Matt Dillahunty respond, so I thought I may as well get on in the action and give my own take on what is, frankly, an excellent demonstration of the power of uncritically accepting religious dogma and the effect it has on a person’s critical thinking skills.

The way the challenges to atheism are presented in this video is that the straw man atheist will present a challenge, and Redeemed Zoomer will answer that challenge both with spoken word and images and text on the screen, so if there is something I say in this audio format that doesn’t make sense, it may because I’m referring to something on screen rather than what was spoken.

If you’re ready for a rapid fire sequence of bad apologetics that Frank Turek would be proud of, strap yourselves in and hit the intro!
