WHAT IS TALK HEATHEN?
Talk Heathen is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared toward long-form and on-going dialogue with theists & atheists about religion, theism, & secularism. Talk Heathen is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
Talk Heathen is filmed in front of a live studio audience every week at the Freethought Library of the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop & support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing & friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of government-religion separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists & to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

She’s accusing atheists of proselytizing…which is literally Christianity’s mission…Yisus.
"I don't come to your house"
Oh, I guess Jehova's witnesses and other similar groups don't count XD
@@TheDahaka1 Thing is if she doesn't come to our houses I'd actually question her morality.
I'm an atheist and think her beliefs are wrong, but if I genuinely believed that my neighbors, friends and loved ones were in danger of being tortured forever I would consider it my duty to try save as many people as possible.
@@24magiccarrot Christianity’s mission is simply to help lead others towards the truth of Christ. 🙂 Atheism is a disease
"And it's not me that says that. It's God that says that." No, it's her saying it, believing she got it from a god. Big difference.
Other theists: "Well, the '500 eyewitness' to the 'resurrection' say you're wrong!"
So she is directly shifting any blame from herself, into her god, wow man, theists seriously confuse me.....
In spite of the fact it's coming straight out of her damn mouth.
Passing the bigotry buck to their imaginary friend is considered a boss move in religious circles.
Indoctrination at its worst
"I believe Christian theology because I was randomly born into this culture and was told to believe it as a child.
I have no shred of verifiable data or empirical, science-based evidence for God. I just believe it."
If Christians could just state this fact these discussions would be much shorter.
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp agreed
@@DennisMerwood-xk8wpoh exactly on point and she had the nerve to say atheism is bad for children when that religion is clearly bad for children.
ALL religious people want something from their god. If there was nothing to get they wouldn't give a rats ass about their god. This religious fruitloop caller said (paraphrasing) she was in a bad place so she lacked and she wanted. Then she concocted a story that her god came to her in her dream sending her a sign that her god exists. So now with the delusion that her god exists she can take what she wants from her god all to make herself feel better and get something from her god. Even though there is no proof of her god she needs to believe there is so it gives her emotional security during her troubled life.
the cognitive dissonance is also bad with this one.
If by “a threat to the children” they mean “you will teach them the critical thinking skills needed to question religious authority” then yes - that is indeed the case.
When she said in one phrase "it's dangerous because it's false ideas and children are impressionable and will believe the false ideas you teach them!" It gave me whiplash
Like, yeah, agreed! Holy shit, that's the point of stuff like 'recovering from religion' and half of the point of this show.
And then she says she wouldn't do mass murdering for god but just because she's not strong enough and she's ashamed of it... And she's SCARED THAT THE YOUTH WILL LEAVE THAT IDEA instead of being scared of them entering it 💀
Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool -- Mark Twain
Sounds about right....
Ain't that the truth !

@@jesterc.6763 yes I agree there religion is the most horrible wicked evil religion ever created by men
Many children have been abused dreadfully by parents. I have lived in such a home. I privately studied cluster b personality disorder and found the answer. It knocked my socks off at the pure sickness of what I studied these abusers to be. So that commandment, honour thy parents, presents a danger to vulnerable children living in those sorts of environments.
I appreciate the irony of two of the most polite and clean-cut hosts being told that they're a danger to the youth lol.
Some of these callers are so nonsensically absurd that I often wonder if they’re real
They are just indoctrinated into the cult of religion.
to be fair, the rational ones don't have a reason to call because they've already understood the issue xD
Stupid people IS real sadly
This show is entertainment and is to make money. Typical normal Christians wouldn't be very entertaining or contentious, and would make for boring programming. It's better for business and more profitable to have exclusively bat shit crazy fundamentalists, and fringe radical extremists callers.
@@gregsanich5183 Your cynicism is real and I wholeheartedly disagree with it. I’m not saying making money and be entertaining aren’t factors. But to put this show solely in those two baskets is painfully ridiculous, respectfully. This show imo is also about educating and training folks on how to think critically, especially on religion.
99.99% of the shows on UA-cam aren’t on there to be altruistic and they shouldn’t have to be. We live in a capitalistic society. folks have food to buy and bills to pay, and I’m sure they have operating costs. So using making money as some sort of negative, especially in this case, seems kinda dumb.
Also, of course, they want to be entertaining. You do we live in attention economy where we have thousands of shows competing for eyeballs, right? But to say these guys are screening calls just so they can speak only to radicalize evangelical dumbasses is painfully ridiculous and mind numbingly conspiratorial.
There’s this trend now of folks luxuriating in cynicism at every turn. Even when it’s not necessary or warranted. It’s like folks are drunk on it. To the point where it turns off the critical thinking parts of folks’ brains.
Hypocrisy and ignorance are THE Christian virtues. Along with dissonance and delusion.
You left out rampant dishonesty.
You act like hypocrisy and ignorance is a bad thing, yet as an atheist, how can anything be 'good or bad'? First, if atheism is true, then we are all 'just another life form'. Morality becomes irrational as we do not deserve any special moral privilege over mosquitoes and eggplants. Second, if you make your own rules, you cannot complain if others do the same, for example, Jack the Ripper. Lastly, if society makes the rules, then as a German of 80 years ago, you should have hailed Hitler.
You cannot say that I did not warn you: God will judge the world in righteousness and all liars will find their place in the lake of fire. I do not know what a 'lake of fire' is, but I'm eternally grateful that I shall never know! Christ died on a Cross so that we may know Him. Jesus Christ is the light of the world
@@kenshiloh Are you proud of this sloppy mess?
It takes a special skill to insert so many fallacies into such a small comment.
So let me break it down for you.
1. """" how can anything be 'good or bad'? """
You seem to be under the impression that the only two alternatives are Atheism and 'your' god. This is a false dichotomy fallacy.
If you can demonstrate that it is only followers of 'your' god that can differentiate good from bad then you might have an argument but since your sorry little religion is one of thousands and Christians are no more or less moral than any other people then your point is spurious. How do all the other religious people differentiate good from bad?
2."""" First, if atheism is true,""""
This is your second fallacy, a strawman of Atheism.
Atheism is a simple lack of a belief in any gods and you are an Atheist to all the thousands of gods that you do not believe in. Schoolboy error, sloppy, or was it deliberate?
3.""""then we are all 'just another life form'"""""
This is the only true thing you said in your post. Yes, we are just another lifeform.
It is sheer arrogance to think that you are something special.
4. """" Morality becomes irrational as we do not deserve any special moral privilege over mosquitoes and eggplants.""""
This is an assertion from ignorance fallacy.
Your assertion is that morals come from 'your' god which is ironic given the god depicted in the OT is fundamentally immoral.
Where do you think all the people that have morals that don't believe in 'your' god get their morals from?
Buddhism is a far more moral concept that Christianity and is 500 years older.
5. """"Second, if you make your own rules, you cannot complain if others do the same, for example, Jack the Ripper. Lastly, if society makes the rules, then as a German of 80 years ago, you should have hailed Hitler. """
Hitler was a Christian so what is your point here? Non sequitur fallacy.
For this to be relevant you will need to demonstrate that all Christians are moral and all non Christians are immoral. Utterly absurd
6. """""You cannot say that I did not warn you: God will judge the world in righteousness and all liars will find their place in the lake of fire."""
It does not take long after the fallacies for the threats to follow. You seen to imply that you are a moral person based on the specific god that you have 'chosen' to believe in but this sentence shows you to be just as morally bankrupt as the spiteful narcissist that you worship.
7. """ I do not know what a 'lake of fire' is, but I'm eternally grateful that I shall never know!"""
What utter arrogance.
I can guarantee with 100% certainty that I could find a Bible verse that condemns you to hell for 'something' that you have done in your life, regardless of any claim that you will make that you are 'saved'.
8. """" Christ died on a Cross so that we may know Him.""""
You will need to demonstrate that this statement is 'actually' true before it becomes relevant to anything, but you can't do that, can you?
Unverified assertion fallacy.
9. """"Jesus Christ is the light of the world"""
Only to the dim witted.
Why do you make these claims when you have zero ability to demonstrate that any of it is actually true?
So there you go, fallacies and misrepresentations, well done.
If you disagree with anything I said then please tell us all 'how' you established that 'your' god is real and maybe we might start taking you seriously.
If you do not answer then we will conclude that you are just spouting you own personal opinions that have no basis in objective truth.

@@kenshiloh China and India seem to be doing just fine without your toxic sky daddy. There are lots of other counties doing just fine as well. Lesson - you don't need to join a mind control death cult to be a good person and you can opt to go with logic and reason and leave the invisible friends with the children.
I think it’s funny when Christian’s will pull out their personal experiences and feelings when it comes to religion, but when a trans person pulls out their personal experiences and feelings suddenly that’s not sufficient evidence. It’s just hypocritical to see them use the “my reality” argument when in any other circumstance they’d say that’s delusional or not enough.
Im atheist and trans people are outright delusional, they deny reality harder than theists..... So what have you to say to me?
Anytime they say X is a danger to children I like to say "Why do you do this with stuff you just don't like? Just admit you don't understand it, and it makes you uncomfortable"
The good old but the women and children military tactic they use.
"If you go to a country without much education"
The US apparently.
It's weird how god only ever seems to talk to people in their heads or appear in their dreams, but never actually physically embody himself readily observable in a crowd of people. Any time people claim to have spoken to god, it's in some way that leaves room for doubt and secular explanations.
According to christian mythology, god can do anything. Nothing is impossible for god. So why can't god upload a youtube video to demonstrate his existence?

"I had so many dreams but I don't want to get into that"

She talked to god, but admits it was a dream. I dreamed that I went to a party to my friend, he had bought 2000 cans of beer.

Well said!!👏🏼👏🏼
As a 15 year old “child,” I’m so glad I found this channel 😂. She pivoted so much. You can dream about anything, having a dream is not evidence. If you reveal yourself to someone, it means they see you, they can’t not see you.
How to say, "I gave my brain to a cult", without saying I can no longer think.
When this horrible, evil person says, "education" she means "indoctrination."
It seems like any time a theist claims gawd gave us free will, that means he really just gave us the option to choose the thing he doesn't want us to do and expects us to not do that thing despite also giving us the inclination to. Which is something a sociopath would do.
It's worse. If he's omniscient he already knows which voice you'll make in any given situation. Therefore if you sin ( lol) he knew you'd sin put you in that situation and then condemns you. Shows he's not omnipotent but is a bit of a bastard.
Just a quick correction: The valid term used in scientific papers is Psychopathy. Also, it's not right to call people as their disorder, but then again, YAHWEH is a fictional character anyway.
The god of the Bible, is by far, the most disturbing and horrifying villain in any fiction I've ever experienced, and it's a good thing that that MONSTER isn't real, not in this universe at least.
How is free will possible if god knows everything you will do in advance?
He gave you free will to choose whether or not you want to follow.
He wants love and you can't have real love without free will, otherwise it's coerced.
Ruth Ann is another level of indoctrination!
Ruth Ann’s obviously never thought about ANY of these questions.
She thinks she's talked to her magic fairy, no, you have been talking to yourself, I'll bet it has never spoken back to you, that is called delusion, it seems to happen to a lot of theists, they all could do with a session with a shrink.
The good old days, i miss this so much
Why would anyone let people who have been dead for 2000 years dictate how to live their lives? How silly is that?
"Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people."
It's like being a muppet, except the hand up your ass died 2000 years ago and is now rotting away inside you
Actually, a myth of a legend of an alleged person.
"If you guys just had the same experiences..." Great job invalidating the massive number of us who were faithful believers that fought tooth and nail to try and hold on to our faith, but failed to for whatever reason.
“Not believing in god is immoral”
Pls pls pls someone answer how🤣
Christians: "Because god says so and god's word is morally objective, gawddammit!!"
😅😂
Because no one ever explained to them the definition or the basic understanding of empathy
To them...morality just means in accordance with their god.
11:20. I believe that, as a person, I cannot understand and don't question God's reasoning.

If you would be in heaven, knowing tgere are people suffering on earth and god does nothing, how can you be happy in heaven?

I had a van full of Southern baptists children dropped off at my house once a month to harrass me into attending their church. They walked around my house, knocked on doors, peeked in windows, and called out my name while I hid inside MY HOME! Every month! Until my family moved. I would hear them coming, and slip out a back door to wander the neighborhood because they were sooo aggressive. This woman is tripping!
Ruth Anne “your god” makes it VERY clear in 1 Timothy 2:12 “And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but TO BE SILENT” So 🤫🤫

This kind of person makes me terrified. She thinks slaughtering your child requires “strength”.
Religionists have zero concept of hypocrisy.
Also, I fully invalidate her experiences. She has seen, spoken to and felt God? I have every reason to think she absolutely has not!

It's so funny to me how "think of the children" cranks seem to ALWAYS be people who have to then say "Also, I don't actually have children myself"
Plus it's always the people chomping at the bit to indoctrinate children into a cult.
I almost choked when she said "pushing the atheist faith" like evangalizing isnt the whole purpose of Christianity
This discussion about free will in Heaven is interesting to me because I know someone who keeps quoting a part of the Bible where it basically says you won't be you anymore in Heaven and that you will be required to praise god ALL THE TIME for eternity. That's all you get to do. And yet somehow, he' finds that comforting. It's hard for me to understand that, because that doesn't sound like a nice place to be at all.
I have had atheist discussions with him before, and at one point, I mentioned to him how the Bible actually condones slavery (he actually wasn't familiar with that part of the Bible, but to his credit, he didn't try to argue about it or justify it) and he admitted he didn't want to question god because he was so beat down by all the racism he's had to deal with his whole life, that he has no hope it will ever get better and Heaven is the only hope he has left. But in many cases, it's religion that's keeping things from getting better. Racists used the Bible to justify slavery and prejudice. Same with sexism; I found it a little frustrating the caller completely missed your comment that she's going against god's commands by teaching men right now.
There are a lot of pastors that claim they talked to God.
Right-wing Pastor say god said their candidate is going to win and left wing Pastor say god said their candidate will win the election.
How do we know who actually spoke to God
This caller is completely lost...
"I've seen God, I've felt God" Straightjacket time!!
Straitjacket...😊
This was entertaining as hell to watch her attempt to defend things she was faced with having to explain on the fly. I hope it gives her something to go contemplate and think about. I realize this is an old one but I wonder what happened. I hope at least she came back from that and thought a bit about her horrible justifications for her beliefs.
I had a dream that I was being chased by Santa with antlers and fangs. I guess that's real too.
"Atheist Faith"???? My new favorite oxymoron.
Ruth Ann's mental gymnastics would impress Barnum and Bailey. She is my all time favorite caller.
A few years ago, I had a dream that my young son had come into my bedroom, in the night, and had told me that he was “throwing up blood and throwing up donkeys”. (It felt so real), But, when I saw him in the morning, it transpired, that he’d not come into my bedroom, in the night, and he’d not only, not been “throwing up donkeys”, he’d not even been throwing up blood! Since that day, we both believe, that throwing up Donkeys, is divine! Or, he brings it up, and laughs at me and about how weird dreams can be. I’m sure this has nothing to say about somebody dreaming they’d spoken to god. How could it?
This one is spectacular.
Ruth-Ann is looking forward to sitting on a cloud with a harp in her hand, that she doesn't know how to play, singing 'Hallelujah' ALL the time!! Sounds wonderful, not! And she hears voices?
So, indoctrinating the young with fear and false promises. With a god you can’t see hear or can really prove, is ok. Theists really amaze me at times!!
Ouch this was hard to listen to. Every single time she deflected, and did everything in her power to try to defend the book when it didn't hold up to scrutiny.
The opening was good. We don’t have to be friends or even allies to have sympathy for each other. Hanuman approves.
Too bad her actual arguments turned so aggressively ignorant.
the dogs that bark the loudest are the most scared 😅
I just want to save young people from the same cult that hurt me. I want to free as many of them from the religious abuse as possible
I converted to atheism back in 2005 (I know, way before most of yall’s time) & trust me, these were some of the darkest days I’ve been thru, so thank the lucky stars the Lord spoke to me one night & guided me thru the spirit, I finally was able to see the ultimate truth of the Christ. Returned to the Church February 18th 2021, haven’t looked back since. God bless ✝️
How does Ruth Ann know she is seeing God and not Satan? Her bible says many will be deceived. What is the test?
Their calm approach is deadly and scary
I didn't realise how delusional religious people were until I started watching these AXP channels a few months ago. Preaching religion to minors should be considered abuse.
"I wouldn't be strong enough to commit that atrocity"
Could you kill your child like Abraham to prove your faith? "No, I would fail that test."
Seth Andrews talks about his very unscientific survey type question session where he asked people that. And he also says he was struck by how often people couched their responses in terms of failure. "I would fail my god." It's a slave mentality. And that's 'gross' also.
Ruth Ann should watch George Carlin's bit on religion.
WOW!!!
This is a christian relative moralist that twists the religion into her own "thing"...that's OK I guess for her, but this kind of moving goal post is a huge problem with faith. How can a person know what to believe if the foundation is always changing based on the circumstance...very frustrating. I was amazed by her confidence in her voice lol
I often wonder the exact same thing about athiests.
@@gregsanich5183 Not understanding your point - atheism is a lack of belief in a god/gods. How do that equate to christian morale relativism/moving goal posts for faith?
@@LagasaurusRex-vm1km if morality is merely subjective, then that moral relativism moving goal posts for convenience.
So much proof in this pudding.
I don't hear her complaining about all the religious shorts that are pushed to children.
My 10 year old son was watching UA-cam and I asked why he was watching the video he was, he stated he didn't want to go to hell and the video said he would if he didn't watch. He was terrified and it took us a week to help him realize it wasn't real.
People like her don't care about that crap.
I wish I could have seen this show when I was a child.
When they say "its not me saying this. It's god saying this". The question I have to ask after that response is "are you saying you disagree with what your God said?".
She basically saying we’re a danger to children to teach them to think for themselves?
The problem is, she is convinced of the actual existence of an omnipotent dictator who you either have to follow the rules of, or be in a form of danger. When you are convinced of this, of course any idea of the people you care about becoming in danger due to them thinking about it for even a second seems like a legit concern bc they could die at any time or the god could decide to punish them at any time for those thoughts (as per the Bible’s stories)
So, that time I was desperately praying to God to be with me on my darkest night and he wasn't, that was him saying "no" to my prayer that the only being in the universe that knew everything that had happened be with me during that time?
