Update: "Mark" came clean in comments, pronouncing that he's an atheist who is deliberately prank calling. He repeatedly states that he will only stop if we devote 75% of the show to theist callers. He is now banned from this blog for all the previous posts in which he's lied.
To all of you thinking this is not Mark from the stone church in austin, IT IS MARK - his voice is so distinct, it can't be anybody else.
Came to the comments looking to see if ppl knew George was Mark from stone church lol.. Ppl know I'm glad to see
Christa Stempel true
And with what seems to be mocking a speech impediment...shameful.
Absolutely Mark from Austin Stone.
Wow, the more I watch this show, the more I wish I never was a Christian. So many wasted years... thank no god for this show lol
"We have nothing to be afraid of." *nervously laughs*
how can a " pope" be taken seriously by ADULT HUMAN BEINGS?...It is a skit from Monty Python
Mark the troll episodes:
726, 686, 693, 695, 696
I think mark is like George from Dunmore, they think they have unbeatable arguments until there arguments are beat then they begin to have a type of mental breakdown as displayed in there calls.
Will Ferrell Nice to have a list. Thanks. There are also compilation vids.
Will Ferrell How do we know he's a troll?
LOL!!.
mike dixie rect
I'm honestly curious, I don't know this. guy. Know need to be like that. How do we know he's a troll?
This show deserves to be on a standard network. It exposes Theists for what they are. Scared and very confused.
Excellent show. I am a bit baffled that the people that flew planes into the WTC were not mentioned, nor was anything mentioned regarding that event.
It gives me hope, for lack of a better word, that life will go on.
I had a 280 character summary of my favorite highlights from the show but after looking over it, it looked like a spoiler for each of the callers, what I enjoyed about them and Jen and Matt's responses. I really, really enjoyed this show tonight. Thank you, to everyone involved.
Too many atheists?
Wanna hear a sentence NOBODY has ever said? Too few Christians.
~ TAE videos actually inspired me to visit Austin(I do not live in Texas), and I was not at all disappointed - great metro area!
Thank you, Matt & Jen, for crushing ignorance and nonsense aways. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I love how this show just immediately puts bulllsh*t in it's place.
“Go away, prophecy boy”
Best line of any episode
Haha the guy at fourteen minutes in..I recognize his voice. It the creatard Mark. The one who invited em to church
13:00 "George"/"Mark"
21:45 Ronald, Woodbridge VA
30:30 Greg, Knoxville TN
35:00 Breanna, Tucker GA
49:35 Sean, Bronx NY
56:00 Seth
" How so many Biblical prophecies have been fulfilled, and being fulfilled to this day." No biblical prophecy has ever been fulfilled.
so glad this program exists.
Ok now I know Mark from Stonecutters Church really is Dane Cook, case closed
Lmao, I also said the same thing! Lol it sounds just like Dane!
The first caller left out the fact that crucifixion wasn't reserved just for Jesus. It was a fairly common method of torture and execution in olden times.
Hey Mark. Where ya been, bud? We've been looking all over for ya. Sent out a search party and everything. But they all got kinda drunk. Sorry, Mark. Anyhow, it's good to have ya back, Mark.
Alrighty, I'm gonna Mark this search solved.
Don't disapear like that again, bud. Ya had us worried.
Jeebus Crust, Mark from Austin Stone! Lol
26:06 Always a great idea to quote Jung when you know nothing about Jung.
"What? You're gonna stone me anyway! Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah!"
I keep laughing because that callers voice keeps reminding me of Eddie from Crank Yankers
this is the first time I've seen a video of u guys, but I am so glad I've discovered u guys. u guys are great! keep these shows coming!
Oh my! The first caller is hilarious!
Mark was like Ruben from the earlier shows, I’m sure that guy was a troll also
@ 24:00 Ronald from Woodbridge, Va. says he has " something in my head", not much Ronald, not much.
@TempleOfInanna2 Einstein didn't believe in God. He actually got super pissed when people didn't get that his famous quotes mentionning God or miracles were just metaphorical, such as "God doesn't play dice", which really meant "A physical phenomenom cannot be guided by randomness". It is basically a poetic license to hit right on the point he's trying to make with an elegant formula.
"You know you're a tool right?" That's my favourite Matt quote.
The Bible was written 500 years after JC was meant to be kicking about. So how is it a prophecy? And why did the prophecy of Tyre not come true?.
Great show.
that intro by matt was one of the best sum up of religion i have ever heard, im gonna take that and use it.
"there are too many atheists on the atheist experience show" - PRICELESS :D
@ArchhereticK You should look up the Trolley Problem on wikipedia- studies done on that (and similar) problem(s) suggest that, in general, people may disagree with you depending on the circumstances. :)
It's obvious Mark is trolling but in what way? He seems generally sincere in his questions/statements. Is he trying to throw softballs to TAE or is he trying to stump them and failing? He seems too well informed to be just fucking around...
So he is a well informed fake on the bullshit of religion lol
The Bible *does* say that the earth is 6000 years old. It gives the genealogy from Adam to Jesus, around 4000 years, and it says that Adam was born the same week as the universe. If you say that none of this is literal, you have to wonder why the Bible was so specific in giving the ages of 900 year old people.
lol. the name "godless bitches"really crack me up everytime i hear it
Aaaaaaand the first caller is Mark.
RE: Sean in the Bronx’s comments (at around the 53:15 mark) about repentance after death being unacceptable.
That the Christian god doesn't allow repentance after death is a feature of the religion that underscores the notion that Christianity is a man-made construct created by folks who were desperate to control human behavior in *this* life.
Good point - you would think that after I spent 1000 years in a burning hell.. I would at least get a parole hearing!
mzenji
This demonstrates the absurdity of hell. It is punishment for the sake of punishment. It has no recouperative effects. If any of the hell business were true, it would only demonstrate how vindictive and evil such a deity would be. For me, all of this means one thing...as Noirepiphone has said, it's all manmade.
Quick Thought: If "being alive" and awareness are some proof for a soul. Then its fair to say that other animals (being alive and aware) should also have some sort of soul and are in need of a savior for THEIR sins...?
21:18 "You're too scared to talk about it"
...am I the only one who thinks it sounds like this guy is on the verge of tears?
no one doubts the authenticity of the 5000 + Greek manuscripts - but they are copys of copys of copys - well knowen mistake that is widely ignored is that the greek mistranslate the word for virgin from the Hebrew and Aramaic scrips - the orginal word means young girl not virgin - so the "virgin" Mary is just the "young girl" Mary , so if they would make that mistake , how reliable is the translation ? and there are still no orginal authors to any of the greek scripts ...
"Go away prophecy boy..." Best quote ever.
@MutR lol dude, I typed that before his bit was done, and once I heard I started laughing! I recognized the voice right away!! That was so funny on my side xD
I am better than ANY god. I like that. Yeah, it feels good. The best part is that it's true.
damn right your better than, Yahweh or Allah.
@srtounez Too late yo, he already is. Click the first link in the description, Mark has always been an atheist calling in because he felt they weren't getting enough theist callers. They talked with him on their website and he's been banned from the site and the program for lying to them.
The fact that so many of us believe(d) Mark (George) was a true xian demonstrates how adept he is at trolling. He's a decent actor.
+Brad Panter Hi Brad!
Brad Grady hi, Brad!
Thanks! I'll look into it! I appreciate the information!
"too many atheists on the show"
classic!
Is the first caller Mark from stone church? he sure sounds like him
Nailed it.
If god is real and he wants all of his beloved children to spend eternity in heaven why doesn't he give each person a preview of heaven and hell and leave each person with an artifact to prove the experience was not just an imaginary thing so they can use this as real evidence and base their decision on that real proof. In fact we are expected to take all th on faith and faith is not the pathway to the truth but merely gullibility.
+JOHN MENUIS If god is real and he wants all of he beloved children to spend eternity in Heaven, why did he create Hell in the first place? The idea that an eternal, omnipotent, omniscient being is so pathetically needy that it requires its children to kiss its ass, or else it will have them abused forever, is just so bizarre. How can anyone think that makes sense??
+JOHN MENUIS because it [the god thing] is a fairy tale intended to calm children and old folks
He heh. I was just thinking that Matt with one half of his brain "handcuffed" behind his back and still winning the debate would be a pretty good t-shirt.
you can not, of the 5000 greek text there not 2 that are identical . therefor the greek tekst are wothless they are copies of copies of copies. if you can read more than the english langauge you will quckly find that the bibel differes in depending of langauge.
I love the ridiculousness of the "prophecy" thing. Considering that the Old Testament is already not historically accurate or a valid source for information from a historian standpoint, and the same is true for the NT, what would make it seem so miraculous that in a book, something happens in a later chapter that was supposedly forshadowed in an earlier chapter, with no outside evidence to support either claim and a huge group who reject that their "prophecy" (which isn't accurate enough to be one) was fulfilled.
Here is an example of a genuine prophecy;
"In the year of 2030 the people will unite and join forces with Sealand to create a new empire under its flag."
It's specific, nobody is working towards it at the time of making the prophecy, and it cannot occur under many circumstances. (in fact, it's nearly impossible).
This is not a prophecy:
"In many years time a man will come and do good things to people, be called a leader attempt to subvert his government and be punished for this"
It's too vague, can be achieved a million ways by many different people, and chances are someone is already working towards it.
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.
That El Arroyo owner must be a millionaire by now
It sounds so obviously like him.
@EliteDoomer That first caller sounded like that guy from Stone Church? Who was it? Someone from Stone Church in Austin.
First, yes it does, not exactly 6000 perhaps, but the genealogy does not allow for billions of years of Earth History.
Also, it is Billions of years, not millions. About 4 billions years is the best estimate for the age of the Earth. And the universe is roughly 14 billion years old. Just throwing that out there.
haha! Matt called out Mark! I knew it was him the second I heard his voice!
If I don't look directly at the screen, just see it out of the corner of my eye, it looks like Matt's wearing an X-wing pilot uniform.
Thank you so much Atheist Experience!
Hearing Geoge's "proof" reminds me of the Left Behind series. Basically how fiction can be based on knowing writings and making them fit as prophesy. IE making the left behind series based on Revelation.
It's amazing how often dowsers point to land next to the creek.
We do know that the stars and the planets were not formed immediately after the Big Bang; there was a large period of time between it and the birth of the first stars. We can tell by seeing the light from these stars and how much closer it is than the radiation from the Big Bang.
We've pretty much figured out how the planets formed, actually, and we're still seeing it happen all the time. Not sure where you heard we weren't.
What exactly do you mean by 'as the Higgs-Boson suggests?'
I stg I was like it's obviously him doing like a new jersey accent or something lmfao
@PhysicsMajor2014 When did he admit that he was fake? Is it on one of these videos? I'd love to find it.
@MrApostleLee I just heard about a South American company that makes bullet proof clothing. One of their best selling lines of clothing is priest vestments.
Oh Please proceed, tell me more of what you hear in church on Sunday.
Russell said in an episode (I forget which one) that Mark of the Austin Stone Church admitted to being an atheist troll.
James Randi has done a lot of experiments with dowsing. Not surprisingly, the people having their "power" tested failed miserably. You can read it in his excellent book "Flim-Flam."
I have trouble understanding Ronald from VA. I was unawayer of Junkian psychology until he asked about it.
Wow... no wonder that first caller's voice sounded so familiar.
Great show as always. Thanks for uploading.
FUCK I missed the live show.
Meditation doesn't have any measurable effect. Meditation is the same type of bunk as homeopathy.
I disagree with you. Homeopathy does have a measurable effect, namely the Placebo-effect. The same as meditation. But I would claim that the Placebo-effect is sufficient to claim that meditation does work, when meditation is just understood as some kind of self-suggestion without any supernatural B.S.
@@bodowartke95 good luck curing cancer with a placebo
"Dowsing is nonsense" simple and beautifully true.
@trainswee you posted a comment to me?
"you mean like we were formed over millions of years?"
why did you remove it?
I skipped the parts where it lists all the names and who begets who, but other than that it can be quite interesting considering the fact how much of an impact the book has on people and life.
who in the hell is this Chris Lanken (sp) guy that keeps coming up?
i must have missed something somewhere!
Hey, do you guys think Mark from Austin is a Poe?
I remember a couple of months ago, Matt D. had him nearly renouncing religious dogmatism on the air and now he keeps calling back with different names/voices.
3:35 thanks for that Matt, I needed a good hearty laugh.
RE: The alleged "prophecy" in Psalms 22 ... The Bible doesn't mention bulls and dogs up on Golgotha, does it?
Beyond that, the psalm states "... the kingdom is the Lord’s, And He rules over the nations." This doesn't appear to square with Jesus' declaration (in John 18:36) that his kingdom was "not of this world."
@Account4TheMusic
Didn't you get the memo? Matt married Beth and Russel married Lynnea the next day if I remember correctly.
Then you'll have no difficulty providing evidence for this god then.
Thanks for posting!
"Go away prophecy boy" hahahahahahahaha
@TheAtheistExperience I love how you put Mark in quotations as if you couldn't really be sure about his name anymore.
@beetlebomb1 not more, less. They missed 3 weeks in a row. They just added them now. Go to blip TV if you want them the day they are on TV. Its in the video description.
HItchens covered the thing about Aristotle (actually, he used Socrates, but it's the same concept). Whether or not there was an actual person named "Socrates" doesn't matter because the ideas attributed to him (e.g Socratic method) have survived and are what really matters.
Oh my god! You brought me my steak. This is a prophecy. Lol
@Beth Did you seriosly just use the "its just a theory" argument?
You also believe non-life(dirt) produced life (man), but it was magic.
"...the wild speculation of evolution" + "Human being are extremely gullible" = major irony
Matt and Jen. What a perfect balance... Whoa!!! I just heard Mark call in. LOL. Trying to disguise his voice. Why don't you ever call him on that? Just say "Hey Mark, I know it's you".
@Beth
As a follow up, do you understand why something is call a theory in science?
Prophetic language is somewhat stylized, and it may seem vague unless you are aware of the preceding histories. The sign of the last days have been happening for years. I suggest a video or website on the last days or the end times if you would like to know more. You could read Ekz. 38, but without knowing which countries are now the modern ones, it wouldn't mean much.
Something i forgot to add regarding "Have you ever tried searching the Bible for its truths instead of trying to find contrived errors".
You find truth by trying to find evidence to the contrary, not by looking for clues that confirm what you already regard as true.
You guys should pay more attention to the chat room during episodes as we can tell you when Mark calls in and Matt can say "You're done!" far quicker. :)
@PixelSlayer247 Same here, the age of 10 for me. At 6, I started asking tough questions of my priest and he helped me drop all imaginary friends. By ten, it was pretty clear cut. I cannot understand how any adult can still hold onto such tripe. Having Matt full of ammunition is definitely a scary notion for a theist like 'Mark' or 'George' or whatever name he's using.
in 6:28 something caught my eyes i taught it was a curser ,indeed i pause it and play it back it was really a curseur
great vid anyway love your channel and thank you to send me your vid
Please, Mark, call in with an Australian accent next week.
"A dingo ate me bible!"
