Main Topic: God Likes to Watch: The Blaming and Shaming of Purity Culture
Main Speaker: Seth Andrews
Music: Dewveall
Main talk Summary:
Seth Andrews, host of "The Thinking Atheist" returns to Houston Oasis to talk about purity culture in the US.
Speaker Bio:
Seth Andrews is a former evangelical and Christian broadcaster who now hosts The Thinking Atheist…one of the most popular podcasts and online atheist communities in the world. The Thinking Atheist is not a person. It is an icon encouraging all to reject faith and pursue reason and evidence. Seth has authored five books, including his latest offering, Christianity Made Me Talk Like an Idiot. He also hosts a second podcast, True Stories with Seth Andrews. With a mix of humor and heart, Seth Andrews has spoken for audiences large and small in the U.S, Canada, Europe, and Australia about his former faith, the promotion of science and skepticism, the importance of Humanism in this often crazy world, and why we should all pursue a personal relationship with reality..
Musician Bio :
Singer/Songwriter, J. Dewveall, is the irreverent chaplain of Americana music. Obsessed with existential stuff, he doesn’t just make music, he sings practical theology in E-flat minor. His brand of comfort blues, rock, and country soul provides a soundtrack to exploring life’s big questions, rooted in human experience and emotion. Dewveall is a native Texan, from the Houston area, but has called Nashville, TN home since 2008, and the American South has certainly given him a backdrop on which to build his musical philosophy. He pushes the boundaries of comfort when tackling questions about faith, beliefs, and society, delivering lyrics with the grit of bands like Drive-by Truckers, but sung with honey on the tongue, like Chris Stapleton.

Thank you.
Excellent presentation but the technical issues are so numerous it is hard to watch.
Agree. Seth was great but this was just annoyingly bad.
Thanks for watching. Sorry for the technical issues in the live stream. We expect to upload an edited version on the "Main Talks" playlist soon with the edits.
Gotta say one thing that sucks about deconstructing and unpacking religious guilt about sex is u lose that forbidden fruit kinkyness. Only way to recreate it is engaging in actual risky behavior like doing it in public or some other way with a chance of getting caught.
yep, the adrenaline (of lying to yourself that safe/regular sex is actually dangerous/only-for-cool-kids-who-don't-care-about-rules) is one hell of a drug. Get married and most often boring regular sex becomes risky and an uncommon occurrence again.
As a female, I'll gladly trade "forbidden fruit" for good communication and a fulfilling sex life free of shame about my body leading men to sin.
@blondequijote Interesting take. Maybe, just maybe, you could benefit from examining what you said there a bit more.
Your making little sense from a promise that never showed the proof of its nothing but complete promises and never prevailed. its contradictory lets the Christian Cherry pick and twist the hell in to People confusing and frustrative. 1 verse in Scriptures agree and the next verse say's the opposite. making the Bible each persons own shape FRUSTRATIVE CONFUSION OF A DEVIL HOLY EVIL.
its elected are not good or bad or perverted doesn't matter for it elects only who it wants is totally rediculous man made prapaganda over controll of Mans kind to commfort man. Y ou don't bring up scriptures because you know truthfuly its full of contradictions and confused OPOSTLES AND EPISTLES DECIPLES .
Jesuses Generations after generations he said he come and never did can be easly contradicted because its contradiction in the Book. How can the Bible God be so cruel Manipulative condoning genicide Rape and then paul saying it is wrong but Jesus builds a great lake of fire after God forgives us in Romans.@@letsomethingshine
Why did God Judge Adam and Eve before they had Knowledge? He strictly threatened them to death which they
had no knowledge of befor they ate the forbiden fruit GET IT?@@tinyshepherdess7710
Can't hear the speaker.
Thoughts after the fact. I've been wondering if sexual purity culture might be the same as cultural norms like halal and kosher. There may have been a time when such cultural rules may have provided benefit, but always at a cost.
Sexual purity culture could be asserted to cause far more harm than good.
Jewish women refrain from sex and contact during period. They then count days then purify in the mikveh. They dress it up as martial sanctity and keeps passion alive e ct. It's really the misogynistic idea that women and periods are dirty and pollute men. Women tempt men ect. Its victim blaming.
This is why Good Wizarrd (G-d for short) is a better magical entity than God. The magical new religion of tadaism with Harry Potter as its savior is more concerned with freeing slaves (of religion and economic systems) in emulation of our savior Harry Potter than what we do with our wands in the privacy of our homes
I agree with every point the speaker made and almost all the established (in the scientific sense) he cited. I would like to disagree with his characterization as of the human authors of biblical texts as “primitive men.” They we’re Homo sapiens, the same as you and me. In terms of our species’s evolution, there have been no significant changes since biblical times, nor for 200,000 (two hundred thousand) years before that.
This is not a reduction of any important point. I recommend to religious naturalists that they develop functional mental models of evolutionary time.
I think mr Andrews is well aware of evolution and uses primitive in this talk in an other way. More in the line of not having the knowledge and tools we have now. We learned thing since the bible got written. A lot of information in it is obsolete and debunked. Holding on to it unwise. Especially because it full of atrocities and amoral teachings as well. Cherry picking the good parts and ignoring the bad parts is laudable but you're only halfway there.
Believing in a god who says these things makes one intellectually primitive.
Seth was not stating that they were actually Homo habilis, just that they were dumb.
They will as soon as God sends them the Tools of Knowledge to go beyong any Scientific aspect of Rational reason neverhappened yet with Embarrassment. Humans are still Ape like and we are today just the Scraps of tomarrow so fuck hores to keep the ball rolling unfortunately ?
We are just the Continuous mistakes burned off till the perfect Human correction Prevails for them the Humans of tomorrow . us we are just the usless examples like Dirt pepples because time forgets us like a water drip evaporates we are nothing?
This really sucks? a creator is better because Humans aspect is with a Creator and not Naturall Selection for about 6 billion so called stupid Gullibles.
yet, Natural selection is winning at this time period Moment and the Future is our Creator still because No Christian is going to have time to believe all the books or what is told to believe is just other beliefs and not rational enough unless your a Scientist.
Materialized creating is not what we think it is.
APOLOGETICS CAN ALSO MAKE UP WORDS AS SCIENCE CAN ALSO?
But does it really feed to make it believable unless its proven?
Naturall selection as an atheist still is pretty off at the slightest touch of critical thinking and who cares about being draged in to a book which takes years know if its true ? then being shocked to the brain later it was more fake than fake dog shit Appologist think? But they don't make any more Sense than Naturall Selection Whether a Spirit or not can be detected like the Wind scale or the Radio waves and many other's. Can't also believe trillions of Humans were just wasted Scraps for what ever tommarow will Bring sounds like the lies or truths that can not be Detected yet is INSANE TO THE BRAIN. Why a hopeful possible loving none Manipultive Creator will explain all its mistakes because a other power is being let to make our life usless. Makes little sense but more think it makes lots of sense.
I understand your point that they weren't biologically inferior, but there has been massive leaps in societal development, particularly in science so in that sense they could be considered to be primitive. We are talking about a time when average life expectancy was under 40.
so now we have an atheist saying what God does
Well someone has to expose the truth 👍
