    00:30 - Intro & Announcements - Matt Dillahunty

    07:49- Jerry (Ann Arbor, MI): universal objective moral values, holding positions based on faith and confirmation bias
    21:02- Chris (East Bay, CA): claims he could not have become the moral person he is without his Catholic upbringing, modern atheists misrepresent Darwin, the title of the Atheist Experience is pretentious
    28:01- Joe (theist, Portland, OR): questions the way the hosts use the term 'faith', identifies as an agnostic deist, had a 'psychedelic experience'

    I miss John, he seemed like a genuinely good dude. One of my favorites, that was rarely in front of the camera; usually behind the scenes

      Agreed.
      An atheist that never believed and an ex-southern baptist, good contrast.

    Interesting that Chris adamantly states that he doesn't want to talk about religion but claims that his morality is due to his Catholic upbringing. huh?

    first prove there is a God... after God has been demonstrated, show convincing evidence that God intervenes when car keys are lost

    • @Ben-Rogue
      @Ben-Rogue 4 роки тому

      This type of "God helped me find my car keys" proof has always been painfully stupid in my opinion. So you're looking for your car keys and you pray to God and eventually find your car keys. What actually made you find the keys; the praying or the looking for them? And even if you gave up looking, there is only so many places your keys could have been, and they're likely somewhere you happen to be fairly regularly, you're probably going to find them pretty soon anyway.
      It's like praying that God will help you get to work safely in the morning. Did God get you there safe or did your driving carefully get you there? It'd be more convincing if all you did was put your foot to the floor and close your eyes and somehow the car followed the road perfectly, avoiding all obstacles only to stop in your regular parking space. It seems the standards for "proof" is pretty low for most people

    Chris from East Bay is a really good example of how catholicism makes you stupid. I was raised catholic and I can remember before waking up and getting out just how fucking idiotic my thinking was at the time.

    Hi. I'm Chris. I'm a free thinker. A Catholic free thinker. o-0
    Re h pompous claim. Without Catholicism he couldn't have become the paragon of morality, etc that he is.
    He defines morality by catholic doctrine. So yeah. If C didn't exist, he wouldn't be getting his morals from C.
    ...He'd be getting them from somewhere else.

    Caller Chris does not get it.
    Muslims, and Hindu's and Atheists can all grow up to be morally good and honourable people.
    And NONE of them required Jesus or the bible to get there.

    That's exactly what I would have asked for 😁 iconic.

    Joe. The bottle of coke in my hand has a profound chemical connection to the bottle of coke that JFK drank EXACTLY 24 hours before he was shot, chemically very similar. But not quiiiite identical. Spooky and transcendent, no?

    Regarding Jerry (Ann Arbor) and his friend's story of the weather changing... I have, on several occasions, been extremely cold with no immediate end in sight. During these times, I have often been able to simply "convince" myself that it was not that cold, and I'd stop shivering and become relatively comfortable. I used to attribute this to God, but now realize that is just plain stupid. The only other time I've been able to use this will power to get over something was with tickling. Through my early 20s, I was always extremely ticklish. I got married and my wife liked to mess with me by tickling me. Once, I applied the same tactic, and my ticklishness disappeared. It's gone! Again, I used to attribute this to God's intervention, but no longer believe in a god. So, this tells me that the power of our minds over our bodies CAN be very powerful. I don't claim to understand it, but this explains my situations and the anecdotal experiences of others that they "couldn't explain" and attributed to gods.
    Anyways, not sure why I decided to post this. Perhaps it will benefit someone. LOL

      @Kellen Nebelski As comedian Bob Nelson said, "The mind is a terrible thing." I usually pick a hot day each summer to read Jack London's "To Build a Fire." It always makes me shiver, even if it's 100 degrees outside.

      You seem to look at what people have said (UA-cam comments), then you add things other people said ((Voltaire quotes n stuff). I see same quotes pop up on multiple pages. You don't add thoughts of your own.
      Is that...uh...fun for you?
