- Friends, the New Atheism movement rose quickly in the early 2000s, led by vicious critics of religion such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. What made their polemics so popular and effective? And how did the New Atheist movement decline and fade almost as quickly over the past few years?
A listener asks, does the Catholic Church teach that the Holy Spirit has a gender? - เพลง
Beaucoup de gens s'éloignent de l'église mais ils restent croyant mais ne veulent du discours de l'église...
Father Barron was here in Boston and I didn't know!! 🤯🤯 Is father Barron's calendar public?
New atheism, sawing off the branch (Christianity) you are sitting on! 😂😂😂❤
Best line ever! Really interesting topic.
I am not following your point. Please elaborate.
quel mépris pour les non croyants !!...
L'avenir de l'église aux usa est plutot sombre et elle en est responsable
The brotherhood of man follows from the fact that we are all related by evolution and common ancestry. Btotherhood of all life, in fact, which far supercedes the anthropocentrists of Christianity.
Really than why has no other civilization ever held that belief ever? Kinship or ingroup preference is instinctual but the “brotherhood” does not extend to non members. the idea that every human life has innate equal value IS Christian and you only have it because you grew up in a society that was Christian and had it baked into the culture. Also you may not realize it but the earliest written moral rules around the treatment of animals comes from the Old Testament. Even nowadays you will see for instance that muslim charities are for Muslim people. Empathy towards non kin is not universal it is culturally conditioned and culture is downstream from religion. Name one other civilization that orientated around those values you claim are self evidently flowing from being the same species or a biological being….
@@SL-es5kbthe Jains predate Christianity, and certainly do believe in the equal intrinsic worth of all beings, without the influence of Christianity. They take it so seriously they sweep the ground of bugs when walking, and would sooner die than defend themselves to kill an assailant.

I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending any acknowledgment as to the reality of any particular god until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the reality of any god._*
And here is why I currently hold to such a position. Below are 10 facts I must consider when evaluating the claim made by certain theists that some god exists in reality. To be clear, these are not premises for any argument concluding there to be no gods. These are simply facts I must take into account when evaluating such a claim.
1. I personally have never observed a god.
2. I have never encountered any person who has claimed to have observed a god.
3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity.
4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument that also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists in reality.
5. Of the many logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the reality of a god(s), I have found all to contain either logical fallacies or false or unsubstantiated premises.
6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon.
7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._
8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event.
9. Every phenomenon that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity.
10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction or do not present as falsifiable.
ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the reality of any god.
I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgment until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstantiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._*
I welcome any cordial response. Peace.
