@David Anewman Oh. While a minister, I could no longer be honest within the church. I will not disparage them, since it was my own beliefs that changed. It is an honest living now, as: 1. I have never been encouraged to push a sale, even when adding warranties or credit. I sell millions per year, but make no promises of performance, reliability, delivery or install dates. 2. As a minister, it was expected that I appeal to emotion, especially in youth ministry. I was good at it, but it was sick. 3. in my current job, I can be honest with others. It's only come up a couple of times in 5 years, but some people at work know I'm atheist. If just 1 person knew at my church, it would mean lost job, home, and community. 4. My wife, a deacon, knows I am an unbeliever. That's the most honest living I know. whew!
@@jeremywvarietyofviewpoints3104 Even so the almighty Thor proved he is worthy! He is the one true God! Read the holy sacred scripts of Marve Comics and see the truth!
It never ceases to amaze me the way Christians use the Bible to prove the Bible true. The guy at around 36:00 is using Acts to deduce who wrote the gospel of Mark. It’s like using a Super-Friends comic to prove the existence of Wonder Woman.
@Dave Males (and THE PEOPLE SING) Well, in a way it IS amazing that these shows still NEED to be created. THE PEOPLE SING is right in that both the theist callers try to peddle the same old debunked arguments (and I also have to admit they are usually INDEED unbelievably arrogant) and that the show hosts offer the appropriate (but inevitably indeed also the same) rebuttals. "Atheist Minion" however, is a contradiction in terms; theists apparently still don't get it that atheism is precisely DEVOID of anything to follow. For all I know, the only thing one needs to "follow" or "submit to" (i.e. *UNDERSTAND),* are the rules of logic. But apparently, this is terra incognita to theists. So, these compartmentalized egos probably get their kick out of repeating the ruthless power ramblings of their favorite ancient brutal egotistical imaginary sky agent, hero, friend, and archetypal mafia boss. So I guess that the show hosts will indeed have to be satisfied toasting those until they're done. Fun for the audience to listen to, though... ;-)
THE PEOPLE SING A show where people discuss and point out the flaws of religious beliefs? How absurd! For real though, you seem scared and offended. I wonder why.
You are correct that the shows seem very similar. The core question is, "Why do you believe what you believe?" and "is this position rationally justified?" What would be innovative and different is if an answer was provided that made sense. And if exploring the reasons about why you believe in religion is just arrogance and satisfying minion's compartmentalized ego boosts, then Friday/Saturday/Sunday services are really weird activities that a lot of people participate in.
THE PEOPLE SING I don’t recall any of the host claiming that what they’re discussing is “innovative and different”. Do you have an actual argument against anything stated on the show that doesn’t consist of ad hominem and false narratives?
I'm Scandinavian... to my knowledge (as limited as that is) I've never been a troll nor have I ever trolled! But when I'm in the woods with my children, we do search for signs of troll activity!

@@kill.all.liberals6865 I'm not familiar with him outside this show and some debates so I don't know what you are talking about. Those are pretty strong claims so hopefully you have equally strong evidence for them.

Nah.

Dreams are always your brain trying to sort the day, your anxiety. There are symbols, but most we don't remember. More in childhood, less as you get older. Only when getting through really troubling time would a dream implant forward memory.
I agree, except for the symbols. Any symbols would be pointers to a memory, such as a person that you can't really remember what they look like. And if you wake and remember some of it you might conclude that it really wasn't the person you thought you were dreaming of. Or you dream of being back at school and you were talking to someone on the stairs, and you wake up and remember your school didn't have stairs. Perhaps the brain is sorting this stuff out because it has nothing better to do?
I get messages from my dreams often. When I have to urinate while I'm sleeping, my dream self starts searching for a toilet. Every one I find is out of order, forcing me to find another. By the third or fourth attempt, I wake up and go to the bathroom.
*"There is vastly superior evidence for the resurrection of Elvis than there is for the resurrection of Jesus. If you have better evidence...present it."* Matt Dillahunty, 2019 54:00 PS Kinda mutually exclusive with his previous "At least when Elvis died for my sins, he stayed dead." (I suspect he may have gotten that one elsewhere. Just my impression.) But that's okay.
No! The fact that many people report that Elvis resurrected, while we actually also KNOW he stayed dead, means that this miracle is even MORE IMPRESSIVE as well!
@@arjanstam78 Hi Arjan. Good point. But...stayed dead? Hmm. As good skeptics...have we checked Elvis Tomb lately? It reminded me of something. Matt once or twice cited someone else's idea refuting, I think, the Ontological Argument. The "ultimate whatsit" existing in all possible worlds. His punchline: "A being that could create the cosmos while simultaneously NOT existing would be even MORE impressive & ultimate. So the God that Doesn't Exist is most impressive of all. Therefore God does not exist." Cheers, mate.
@@brucebaker810 As good skeptics we demand evidence that there is reason to assume that something supernatural has happened first.

How's THAT for an ontological argument, eh? Find the fallacy ;-) Cheers, pal.
@@arjanstam78 First, to be clear, all this is tongue-in-cheek. But if we are going to say "Elvis is still dead", _we are making a positive claim._ At that point, burden of proof would be on us. So we shouldn't do so without having checked the tomb. In this case, we're "arguing against supernatural whatsit". So we can't, at the same time, presume "no supernatural whatsit".
I love the circular reasoning that Mike uses, and which has been used on me multiple times. Me: "You say you have evidence for God. Great. Please present it so that I may also believe." Christian: "OK. But first you have to believe in God." Me: "Wait. I have to believe in God to get the evidence I'd need to believe in God? Seriously?"
This is part of the programming. Changing the definition of words helps create a feedback loop. You see it in this show all the time, where theists just can't get past their completely loaded definitions for words like morality, truth and evidence, good and evil or right and wrong, belief or faith, and as that last caller proved, they often don't know what Atheism means... You can't have a productive conversation with someone who doesn't agree on definitions or who adds religious baggage to words
As I was listening to Andrew, I couldn't help but be reminded of some of the people online who write the extremely convoluted fan-fic stuff, like how that alien on the 7th to the left in the Mos Eisley Cantina is actually the father of Dr. Who.
I think that this was a fantastic show. Both of you are so eloquent and clear with your thoughts it amazes me. You leave no doubt in my mind anymore that what you speak is true. The jury for me has spoken. There is no God. Today I went to see Aron Ra in Denver. I got here because of a love of dinosaurs and a lack of being brought up in a church. Aron Ra reached me on a factual level beyond belief today. Once here people like you two and also Tracy have made it so clearly evident. I also found a card from the Secular Hub in Denver and look forward to a lifetime free from lies and deception. Thank you so much for your wisdom and patience. I hope to learn more and look forward to becoming more involved in my community thru the Secular Hub here. With me you have answered my questions and have found success. Your efforts have been worth while and as I walked out of Mr. Ra's speech today I actually found myself speaking with a young gal and sharing my new knowledge and strength. I found someone struggling with religion as I was. Actually she opened a conversation about what the event was about. I had a small bit of confusion. It was about evolution however it was also about God. You have done well by me Mr. Dilahunty and friends by providing me with the knowledge (key) to rest at ease with my thoughts and invited me into a community that I can trufully embrace with a strong conviction. Please put a mark down for someone that will never look back. Today was truly a good day. - And I was gonna go to heaven so I just gave up a lot for truth and wisdom and I am fine with being honest.
1:27:10 Mike explains: "THAT's the thing! The theist would choose ignorance". After that, I felt compelled to choose to change my pants. But at least he chose truthfully.
Mike: "see what you atheists don't seem to understand or appreciate is that there ISN't any evidence. There may never be. So it's extremely unreasonable of you to keep insisting we produce some. So you're lying."
The apologetics on slavery are embarrassing for Christians. (Paraphrasing Davis's point) "God was laying out rules for how to buy, sell and treat slaves because he knew there would always be slavery"... Oh, so he can outlaw murder (which still happens too if you hadn't noticed) but slavery he's powerless against?!? Damn you apologists are disgusting!
Patrick Cunningham I think the Iceland guy did that on purpose I have a saying I say to theist as well .. I always tell them : Please stop putting my god down !! My god Thor is better than your god .. 2 reasons why !! It’s in my book and I had dream when I died and came back to life and he told me and showed me the way !!! I do believe he was making a point hoping they would see how stupid there shit beliefs are
May I just say - I'm so glad matt is now back in the swing , and with a revised bad ass attitude I might add. The atheist experience went through a bit of a slump ( other than whenever Jen and Tracy were on). But now I absolutely love watching it! I get tired of the mamby pamby nice-ness of us atheists always having to cater to the needs of theists and letting them get away with their obviously!! silly nonsense. Matt and even Tracy nowadays have to time for that anymore. That's great! With the advent of the internet, people have no excuses to be this ignorant anymore. In 2019 !!!
For people like Mike: Tell us something YOU do NOT believe in. Are YOU lying about it? (of course he'll just dissemble and come up with lame excuses why it's not the same) Only when someone claims to believe something they don't believe (or vice versa) are they lying. I'd put most apologists in the former category.
Wait for Jesus to personally contact you and then follow his instructions. That is unless you want to be a preacher of some other god such as Cthulhu. In which case develop webbed hands and feet and gather fish people around you.
The argument that God hasn’t updated the Bible in a long time almost converted me from Catholicism to Islam because it just makes so much sense that God would send an updated and specific version of his word in the Quran. And then I realized I had no reason to believe either book is true.

@@arjanstam78 First, to be clear, all this is tongue-in-cheek. But if we are going to say "Elvis is still dead", _we are making a positive claim._ At that point, burden of proof would be on us. So we shouldn't do so without having checked the tomb.
In this case, we're "arguing against supernatural whatsit". So we can't, at the same time, presume "no supernatural whatsit".
I love Don laughing at Nicoli lol
We need an auction to be Matt's plus one for the concert.
Matt/Don is my favorite AXP pairing. Love the slight awkwardness and possibility that they don't really like one another lol
?
1:27:12 - 1:27:16 has got to be the best 4 seconds in AXP history!!!
I love the circular reasoning that Mike uses, and which has been used on me multiple times.
Me: "You say you have evidence for God. Great. Please present it so that I may also believe."
Christian: "OK. But first you have to believe in God."
Me: "Wait. I have to believe in God to get the evidence I'd need to believe in God? Seriously?"
The last caller doesn't know what words mean.
This is part of the programming. Changing the definition of words helps create a feedback loop. You see it in this show all the time, where theists just can't get past their completely loaded definitions for words like morality, truth and evidence, good and evil or right and wrong, belief or faith, and as that last caller proved, they often don't know what Atheism means... You can't have a productive conversation with someone who doesn't agree on definitions or who adds religious baggage to words
Don looks at Matt with reverence
Calls start at 26:38.
1:09:45 'Sorry, Don was gonna answer that' LOL :) Love the show guys.
Drinking game: every time Don says "and these sorts of things".
2:20 - My best friend lives in Austin so I REALLY hope to see yal when I come out to visit him.
Best show of year so far
If you have insomnia, you should audio-record the call from Gavin. It should put you right to sleep!
Don and Matt by far are the best combo on the show currently
As I was listening to Andrew, I couldn't help but be reminded of some of the people online who write the extremely convoluted fan-fic stuff, like how that alien on the 7th to the left in the Mos Eisley Cantina is actually the father of Dr. Who.
FYI: there is a false copyright strike on talk heathen 03.06 episode.
“Pretty soon Thor will look like me” little did he know lol
Hay Matt, your doing a great job for Jahovah, keep up the good work.
Keep schooling them Matt😍
Best comment ever.... " Theists would choose ignorance " priceless
Good Show!
ken ham is the Alex Jones of Christianity.
But Alex Jones is also of christianity, so they're both the same
I think Kent hovind is closer to Alex Jones than Ken ham
Matt is literally -a- the beast.
I think that this was a fantastic show. Both of you are so eloquent and clear with your thoughts it amazes me. You leave no doubt in my mind anymore that what you speak is true. The jury for me has spoken. There is no God. Today I went to see Aron Ra in Denver. I got here because of a love of dinosaurs and a lack of being brought up in a church. Aron Ra reached me on a factual level beyond belief today. Once here people like you two and also Tracy have made it so clearly evident. I also found a card from the Secular Hub in Denver and look forward to a lifetime free from lies and deception. Thank you so much for your wisdom and patience. I hope to learn more and look forward to becoming more involved in my community thru the Secular Hub here. With me you have answered my questions and have found success. Your efforts have been worth while and as I walked out of Mr. Ra's speech today I actually found myself speaking with a young gal and sharing my new knowledge and strength. I found someone struggling with religion as I was. Actually she opened a conversation about what the event was about. I had a small bit of confusion. It was about evolution however it was also about God. You have done well by me Mr. Dilahunty and friends by providing me with the knowledge (key) to rest at ease with my thoughts and invited me into a community that I can trufully embrace with a strong conviction. Please put a mark down for someone that will never look back. Today was truly a good day. - And I was gonna go to heaven so I just gave up a lot for truth and wisdom and I am fine with being honest.
1:27:10 Mike explains: "THAT's the thing! The theist would choose ignorance". After that, I felt compelled to choose to change my pants. But at least he chose truthfully.
That Gavin guy sounded like he was waking up 24/7 haha
Mike: "see what you atheists don't seem to understand or appreciate is that there ISN't any evidence. There may never be. So it's extremely unreasonable of you to keep insisting we produce some. So you're lying."
After the orgy in Valhalla: Thor: “Hi, I’m Thor”. Valkyrie: “I’m tho thore I can’t even pith!
Nayss! Thnx! 👍😎
The apologetics on slavery are embarrassing for Christians. (Paraphrasing Davis's point) "God was laying out rules for how to buy, sell and treat slaves because he knew there would always be slavery"... Oh, so he can outlaw murder (which still happens too if you hadn't noticed) but slavery he's powerless against?!? Damn you apologists are disgusting!
This was a great episode! Hell' they're all great! But this one takes the cake, or shall I say, the hammer.
Good show. Steam rolling theists. Iceland guy was a poe.
My understanding of Poe's law is that one cannot tell if the person is serious. It seems obvious he was trolling theists.
Patrick Cunningham
I think the Iceland guy did that on purpose I have a saying I say to theist as well .. I always tell them :
Please stop putting my god down !! My god Thor is better than your god .. 2 reasons why !! It’s in my book and I had dream when I died and came back to life and he told me and showed me the way !!!
I do believe he was making a point hoping they would see how stupid there shit beliefs are
@@jogriffin9347 You're absolutely right. I'm the Icelandic dude lmao.
@@jogriffin9347 They spelled my name wrong btw, it's "Nikolaj"
IceyGuy
That’s was fantastic !!!!
29:38 It's Stormbreaker, not "Stormbringer". But I loved your reply, though. 😄
Don providing the eye candy once again. Can’t blame him for leaving.
THE THOR GUY HAHAHAHHAHAAHA
Being introduced to the Pope Song made my day
May I just say - I'm so glad matt is now back in the swing , and with a revised bad ass attitude I might add. The atheist experience went through a bit of a slump ( other than whenever Jen and Tracy were on). But now I absolutely love watching it! I get tired of the mamby pamby nice-ness of us atheists always having to cater to the needs of theists and letting them get away with their obviously!! silly nonsense. Matt and even Tracy nowadays have to time for that anymore. That's great!
With the advent of the internet, people have no excuses to be this ignorant anymore. In 2019 !!!
I keep thinking that Don will run out of material for religious fails after all this time but he just keeps going! Lol.
Great to see Don!
For people like Mike: Tell us something YOU do NOT believe in. Are YOU lying about it? (of course he'll just dissemble and come up with lame excuses why it's not the same) Only when someone claims to believe something they don't believe (or vice versa) are they lying. I'd put most apologists in the former category.
Loved the Tim Minchin shoutout.
Mike was such a glutton for punishment he called in twice
Tabloid holy book!!!! =]
how do I become a preacher? I want to become rich!
Join a church. Learn apologetics and be comfortsble bul lshitting people
Just be a preacher....an be a religion...ask the IRS... give yourself the title BISHOP, and you can put all the churches stuff in your name.
Wait for Jesus to personally contact you and then follow his instructions. That is unless you want to be a preacher of some other god such as Cthulhu. In which case develop webbed hands and feet and gather fish people around you.
I was thinking Gavin sounds like he's maybe Peterson fan, then he brought up Jung😁
I love Matt! Even when he loses his cool.
The argument that God hasn’t updated the Bible in a long time almost converted me from Catholicism to Islam because it just makes so much sense that God would send an updated and specific version of his word in the Quran. And then I realized I had no reason to believe either book is true.
I love don the best of the co host
"I have enough EVIDENCE to have Faith, but no one has evidence for god." Mike/San Jose lmao
