Interesting that Chris adamantly states that he doesn't want to talk about religion but claims that his morality is due to his Catholic upbringing. huh?
Ha ha ha glad Matt hung up on Chris. Anybody who calls in and says they don't want to discuss religion should be hung up on. He called up to rubbish evolution but did not get the chance.
This type of "God helped me find my car keys" proof has always been painfully stupid in my opinion. So you're looking for your car keys and you pray to God and eventually find your car keys. What actually made you find the keys; the praying or the looking for them? And even if you gave up looking, there is only so many places your keys could have been, and they're likely somewhere you happen to be fairly regularly, you're probably going to find them pretty soon anyway. It's like praying that God will help you get to work safely in the morning. Did God get you there safe or did your driving carefully get you there? It'd be more convincing if all you did was put your foot to the floor and close your eyes and somehow the car followed the road perfectly, avoiding all obstacles only to stop in your regular parking space. It seems the standards for "proof" is pretty low for most people
Hi. I'm Chris. I'm a free thinker. A Catholic free thinker. o-0 Re h pompous claim. Without Catholicism he couldn't have become the paragon of morality, etc that he is. He defines morality by catholic doctrine. So yeah. If C didn't exist, he wouldn't be getting his morals from C. ...He'd be getting them from somewhere else.
Caller Chris does not get it. Muslims, and Hindu's and Atheists can all grow up to be morally good and honourable people. And NONE of them required Jesus or the bible to get there.
Caller: **has a nice call** "Can you give me a 'nonononono you're done'?" Matt: "Nonononono, you're done!" **hangs up** That's exactly what I would have asked for 😁 iconic.
Regarding Jerry (Ann Arbor) and his friend's story of the weather changing... I have, on several occasions, been extremely cold with no immediate end in sight. During these times, I have often been able to simply "convince" myself that it was not that cold, and I'd stop shivering and become relatively comfortable. I used to attribute this to God, but now realize that is just plain stupid. The only other time I've been able to use this will power to get over something was with tickling. Through my early 20s, I was always extremely ticklish. I got married and my wife liked to mess with me by tickling me. Once, I applied the same tactic, and my ticklishness disappeared. It's gone! Again, I used to attribute this to God's intervention, but no longer believe in a god. So, this tells me that the power of our minds over our bodies CAN be very powerful. I don't claim to understand it, but this explains my situations and the anecdotal experiences of others that they "couldn't explain" and attributed to gods. Anyways, not sure why I decided to post this. Perhaps it will benefit someone. LOL
@Kellen Nebelski As comedian Bob Nelson said, "The mind is a terrible thing." I usually pick a hot day each summer to read Jack London's "To Build a Fire." It always makes me shiver, even if it's 100 degrees outside.
@Born etc You seem to look at what people have said (TH-cam comments), then you add things other people said ((Voltaire quotes n stuff). I see same quotes pop up on multiple pages. You don't add thoughts of your own. Is that...uh...fun for you?
Joe. The bottle of coke in my hand has a profound chemical connection to the bottle of coke that JFK drank EXACTLY 24 hours before he was shot, chemically very similar. But not quiiiite identical. Spooky and transcendent, no?
Chris started out by lying about being a freethinker, then showed that he’s not even a thinker. Lying is one of the religious apologist’s favorite tactics.💩
Did I hear that right, this is like it’s raining and you say please god make it stop raining 🌧 and it stops,, well yeah can’t rain forever that is not a miracle 😂
This is the most annoying person who as ever called. And what a jerk. He seems to think it is his show. Matt should have hung up the moment the guy had a problem with the show's name.
Oh this was made in the days before the James Webb telescope went up and found life on other planets. Oh shit wrong era! Um, well the comment will be liked next year ;)

I miss John, he seemed like a genuinely good dude. One of my favorites, that was rarely in front of the camera; usually behind the scenes
Agreed.
An atheist that never believed and an ex-southern baptist, good contrast.
Wow, that caller Chris was a tool!
Ha ha ha glad Matt hung up on Chris. Anybody who calls in and says they don't want to discuss religion should be hung up on. He called up to rubbish evolution but did not get the chance.
first prove there is a God... after God has been demonstrated, show convincing evidence that God intervenes when car keys are lost

Calls begin @ 7:50.
Thanks😳
You're doing God's work, thanks for your time stamps.
I got a nice laugh at Chris on this one.
I ask the weather to warm and summertime to come, and after several months it finally comes...
It WORKS !!!😳😳🙄

Chris sounds a lot like pastor George...
For the first caller weather changing isn't compelling in the least. Where I live the weather changes every 5 mins.
Caller: **has a nice call**
"Can you give me a 'nonononono you're done'?"
Matt: "Nonononono, you're done!" **hangs up**
That's exactly what I would have asked for 😁 iconic.
People from 2024, desperately trying to find an overlooked episode.🎉
Dustin sounds like a great guy!

28:30 love the tree arguer. Hate the tree argument .
Did the weather Never change Without prayer?
I think it would be more miraculous if the weather didn’t change. Lol
Did it ever change *with* prayer? Let's be clear. "as a result of ". Not "coinciding with".
@Born etc

Some words are worth repeating, even as YOUR posts demonstrate.

Pack a book full of shit like this and you could sell as many books as Jordan Peterson & Deepak Chopra. LOL

chris the athiest experince is just that, you are projecting something into it that isnt there.
It coulda been the baby eating experience....hahaha.

I prayed for 300º and extremely dry. The oven proved the existence of the god of charring.
@Ometecuhtli Who was then crucified on the Charing Cross? Bwaaahahaha
I'm going to start live streaming episode reviews of ACA and news shows.
Would I require permission?
Oh this was made in the days before the James Webb telescope went up and found life on other planets.

Gee, I wonder if Chris is religious. LMFAO
out of all the "christian" flavors, catholics are the weirdest callers only beat by muslim apologists.
