    WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
    The Atheist Experience is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
    The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and 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.

      Sinful man & God are not compatible just like your human hand isn't compatible with fire becuase the nature of the fire is to burn. Hebrews 12:29 says "For our God is a consuming fire". If you were to show up in his presence you would be consumed. God loved us so much that he sent his only Son Jesus Christ to die a horrible death we deserved so that if we believe & trust in Jesus, God would consider our trust in Jesus as righteousness & he would forgive our sins & grant us eternal life as a free gift. You live your whole life denying God, you refuse to accept Jesus as your personal Lord & savior which He said is the only way to heaven then at the end of your life you demand to live at his house(Heaven). Ask God to reveal himself to you, seek Him & you will surely find & know him. I hope someday you all know the truth.

      It wasn't spot on. To restate his analogy: "If you speak too loudly, I'm going to hit you (she then speaks loudly and you hit her), is that her fault?"
      Yes it would be the wife's fault (though not sole fault) she was hit because she knew the consequences ahead of time. Whether she wants to be hit or deserves it is irrelevant - she chose an action she knew would result in her being hit. She's then responsible for the outcome. His analogy has an emotional aspect to it that instinctively engenders support for the wife but his logic is flawed and can be seen through a comparable analogy that strips out the empathy for the protagonist. You tell a person that if he commits murder he will go to prison. He commits a murder and ends up in prison - is that his fault? Yes - it's the state that's responsible for sending him away, but he is also responsible by virtue of his actions. He may not want to go to jail and in this case deserves it, but it's also his fault, much like it's the wife's fault.

    • @dmc6262
      @dmc6262 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ​@@rinat1985 His point is invalid. And it doesn't matter if the wife has a vote or say in the matter. All that matters is a) whether she knows & understands the consequences and b) knowingly follows actions that lead to those consequences. She would be at fault in a cause and effect way, not necessarily in a moral sense (depends on context). Matt's error is assuming the guilt or fault lies solely with the party making the rules. It doesn't. However, in his analogy, one side has knowledge of the outcome (a determinant of fault), the other doesn't. That's where you are partially right and were he should have gone with it. We ourselves are not at fault if we end up in hell, simply because the rules for salvation haven't been demonstrated to be true (we therefore lack knowledge), and not because the rules have been imposed on us, like you and him suggest.
      Matt makes a lot of reasoning errors in this video - which is rare. For example he attempts to invalidate Jesus's crucifixion as being a sacrifice because it only lasted a day and a half and because he would return to being God anyway - labelling it a "bad weekend". Further comparing it to starting with $100m, setting it aside for a couple of days yet returning to your $100m in a couple of days. A) While there are degrees of sacrifices, a sacrifice having been made is not contingent on it's duration nor the level of the reward. B) Setting aside $100m for a couple days - you are losing potential investment returns, incurring opportunity cost and generally the ability to spend (potentially catastrophic if that $100m constitutes all you have). He should have argued the degree of sacrifice rather than it's existence.

    I just love the way Matt picks apart the so-called "sacrifice" of Jesus. Christians always talk about how God gave up his only begotten son (with so much emphasis on the word "only"), and Matt just describes it for what it really is. He gave up a weekend and then became co-equal with God.

If Jesus was truly Man, he was not homousian. If Jesus was not homousian, then he was not the divine Son of God on Earth. If Jesus was homousian, then he was not truly Man.

But i dont need a god to justify what and who I love. I’ve been an atheist since 2011 and it has helped me come to terms with things that made no sense to me while i was religious. Why would i waste the one life i know im gonna have just hating everything because a god wants you to? If you dont value your life, then you need to rethink your priorities.
      “Men love sin” What does that make women? Women sin too. Nobody’s perfect. But the difference is how we accept our flaws and our decisions if they were to be bad ones.

      It would be a very short program, why? It takes a lot of time and work to change a core belief system, epseially ones engrained since early childhood. Most christians don't have a desire to question their faith. Think about it. Most people are exposed to relgious doctrine (dogma) before they could speak. They hear it from their parents (a child's first God) and at church services. What choice does a child have except to accept it as truth? Put simply, you'll never hear a christian say: "I coud be wrong in my belief system on religion" or "come to think of it, maybe there is no God." Put another way, if you're a devout christian, you don't dare question your faith or risk burning in hell, right? Religion is nothing more than an effective philosphy or means to control what people believe and how they should live in a particular society. Religion also satisfies the human need to socialize or to belong to a tribe of like-minded people. Finally, religon failed to answer questions on the origins of mankind and the universe with nothing more than mystical nonsense.

      Theists cannot prove the superiority of god's morality. Nor do they often try. They simply assert, and they are stuck on that. That's sadly what God is about: truly blind acceptance without question. Including blindly accept that you must blindly accept without question.

      Damon Miller this makes me wonder if god must have screwed up royally if the vast majority of people will end up in hell, even if this, allegedly, is not exactly what he wants. That would still mean that god doesn't care enough, or is unable to, to effectively communicate a convincing message to save a significant percentage of humans from eternal torment.

      gertjan van der meij doesn’t matter if you commit a crime as a theist. You can be a child murderer and as long as you accept Jesus and ask for forgiveness then you are sorted. Amazing how that works.
