    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.

    I was taught not to use cliches/idioms with people who aren’t from the US because they don’t always know the meaning behind certain phrases (horse before the carriage). In Mexico there is a phrase Throw me water, which I’m guessing people wouldn’t realize means Give me a hand. I’m saying this because I think foreign callers may get confused with some of the things y’all say.

      Having personally had to dispose of an 11 week fetus, I can confirm that chewed gum is as good a description as any.
      My wife had 3 miscarriages over the years (and we have 2 healthy children), and in one the fetus was large and distinctive enough that we were worried that we should report it to the hospital, in case special disposal or reporting was required by law. In essence they told us to flush it.
      That didn't feel good for something that had been carrying our hopes and dreams for several months, so we performed a private burial service, away from our home, and whenever I visit that location I have a quiet cry for Quinn, our unknown child.

So Reality and Religion has been separating ever since. It has become worse because we have these Written in Granite Guide Books that refuse to change when Science and Society discover new Information.

    When we encounter a proposition, and we want it to be true, we ask _"can_ I believe it?" We then search for a reason to believe it and when we have it, we stop looking. If we don't want it to be true, then we ask _"must_ I believe it?" and look for a reason not to believe it. When we have it, we stop looking. This is the natural mode for humans.

      Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
      And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
      Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
      Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

      @@alamunez Atheists despise the truth (Jesus Christ) because they would have to admit they have sinned/done wrong. Some people are too proud to ever do that.

      None of what you have said is convincing. Rather than preaching why don't you call and have a discussion that can be dissected?

    Repent of your sins. Believe in Jesus Christ for salvation and become a new person in this life. John 3:16, Luke 13:3, 1 Peter 1:23 KJV......
