TH-cam comments are at present disabled in our channel, to the displeasure of some. However, each video has a prominent link to the associated open thread that appears on our blog. In the past we've tried opening up the channel to comments, but we found that a very high number of episodes wound up being flooded with a combination of spam, long winded apologists, and various obscene or misogynistic comments directed at various hosts by people with an axe to grind. This seems to be the nature of TH-cam comment sections, in our experience.
We do moderate the blog, the same way that we moderate chat during the show, as well as comments on our Facebook group. For comment sections that are "officially" associated with our show (and, to a much lesser extent, channels that may give the unintended appearance of being official), we prefer not to play host to straight up ad hominem attacks and bigotry. As a general policy we do not block commenters simply on the basis of disagreement with our point of view. However, we do prefer discussion environments that don't actively chase off more reasonable contributors.

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.

I think Don is probably my favorite host. Just seems like such a nice person.

His laugh is contagious
Linnea is a science freakin rock star! I think she performed a public service. Not only was I able to follow her explanation completely, I wasn't confused or bored once. Three cheers for Linnea!
Rebecca Totally agree sweet cheeks xx
I was just thinking this exact thing! So glad they let her say all this. :-D
Chris Skuller Most definitely sweetheart xx
She's local, for me, too. Should I look her up?
🥂
People are always incredulous that ALL OF THE UNIVERSE could exist for no reason. Why aren't they equally incredulous that a God would create such a large Universe just so one planet of critters and humans could exist in it.
I just recently discovered the AE show, and let me tell you, Matt: it would have been a real dam shame for your beautiful logical mind to stay trapped into the cage of faith. Thanks and greetings from Italy :-)
Matt handled the flat earther exactly how they should be.
How has no flerfer or covey of flerfers never managed to set up a voyage to the Edge?
Stephen , Christianity in the USA is down 10% since 1990 . Keep up the good work !!!
Yay, we'll hit 0 at this rate in 2290
Wrong. Guess how much it’s gone down since 1900?
44%!!!!
The rate of Americans dropping xtianity is MASSIVELY ACCERLATING since 2000.
Soooooo actually ar this rate probably by 2050.
Seriously folks! Do as Matt suggested. Go over to Shelly Segal's TH-cam channel. Give her a like, subscribe, and leave a comment. Her song was a national anthem for atheists. Give her some love.
How ironic is it that Stephen can't comprehend secular culture while calling from a country with a huge secular population.
Also he argued that religion is good for society than said the middle east is worse than the west and the biggest difference is that the middle east has more theocratic governments...😬
THANK YOU for bringing up the problem with CPS. It's a mess - kids are wrongfully being taken from safe, loving families, while kids in real distress are not getting the help they need. Also, kids are more likely to be abused in foster care and adoptive care than in their original, "troubled" homes. I fully support child protection, and that includes protecting kids from horrible, destructive, abusive, neglectful, dishonest CPS practices. The whole system needs an overhaul if we want to protect kids from abuse.
Courts recently ruled that CPS is under no obligation to protect children, which is beyond nuts.
750 US military bases remain around the planet. These overseas installations are now scattered across 81 countries, colonies, or territories on every continent except Antarctica, and spends more than the next 10 countries COMBINED. But there's no "government papers declaring an empire"... lol WOW
Don's remark at 58:00 is absolutely fabulous! If the only thing people have to use to try convincing people of a theistic claim is (1)lies, (2)logical fallacies, and (3)emotional manipulation, they've lost. That is SO true! Thanks, Don! Excellent point!
Glen Hill... I had put that one in my notebook... Thanks for that quote.
Hi, the real God here.
In my unique revelation I did not create something to my likeness, but rather borrowed a HUMAN invention called "book", so my HUMAN witnesses and HUMAN prophets could write my adventures and commands in it, in deprecated languages, so other HUMAN preachers could spread how awesome I am. Guess which God am I, HUMAN?
Thoughts and prayers and a 20 dollar bill will get me a lapdance xD matt
If 95% of the idiots that call the show would spend as much time in school as they spend calling into the show and displaying their ignorance for the entire world to witness maybe rationality would win the day. But I doubt that day will ever come, unfortunately.
Imperialism: A policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.
Militarism: The belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or promote national interests.
(33:30) The United States operates in a hybrid state between classical imperialism and outright militarism. While American intentions and moral ambitions abroad are commendable, their execution and repeated failed outcomes (North Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan) expose a trend of internally consistent but ultimately flawed strategy making and foreign policy.
The extreme investment in military power subdues any effective use of diplomacy or economic power to effect peaceful outcomes. The American militarism is a legacy of World War 2 success and a faded notion of manifest destiny and a presupposed moral high ground that justifies biblical levels of violence and strategic stupidity.
Any and all irrational fears (phobias) require therapy including fear of snakes when you haven't met one, fear of dogs when you haven't got bitten by one and fear of hell or god when you haven't demonstrated it exists
Puerto Rico, Guam... American imperialism is a fact.
noty thx You’re saying Puerto Rico and Guam don’t exist? Lol.
imms r. Not to mention Isreal
TODAY IN HISTORY - October 9 2019
Kepler's Supernova exploded in the Milky Way on October 9, 1604 and is the world's most recent star explosion in Earth's galaxy to have been observed by the naked eye.
The boom of light was so bright that the supernova was visible for three weeks, despite being 20,000 light years away from Earth.
Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments and they wander off through equation after equation and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality" - Nikola Tesla
Come on matt. It is imperialism. Tell me Iraq is better now than 30 years ago. Be honest god damn.
Finding "a country that isn't better off now than 30 years ago" doesn't negate his premise. Generally over all. In many ways.
@@brucebaker810 True. But it's still laughable that someone is claiming America is not imperialistic. No one that isn't American that learns American history, even modern history, thinks it's not.
It would seem that Matt is using confirmation bias. He served in the Navy as well. He has so much pride for his nation that he can't see how awful it really is.
I feel so bad for Teddy, I hope he can find some help.
Don is the Ed McMahon to Matt's Johnny Carson.
Plussed cuz I'm old enough to recall that in live broadcast. And we gotta stick together on this memory confirmation thing.
For Matt regarding the sight of the moon since the two hemispheres: flatearthers do not even agree on the shape of the moon.
On the other hand, their only "model" indicates a moon at 6000 km from the earth, and a sun at the same distance, which would allow to see different phases of the moon from different points of the earth at the same time.
So this video destroys their only "model" that clearly does not work...
Seriously folks! Do as Matt suggested. Go over to Shelly Segal's TH-cam channel. Give her a like, subscribe, and leave a comment. Her song was a national anthem for atheists. Give her some love.
Stephen was NEVER an atheist
Linnea is a rockstar for that one. It would actually be really neat if the show had an expert caller call in every now and then to show why different theistic claims are disproven by the science. Very cool call.
Not a rockstar, a scientist - rockstar is a lesser accolade!
Sure, you would see it reversed also on a flat earth, but you wouldn't see it upside down, would you?
I didnt get what the argument was with the world getting better, I mean yes even with little data you can somewhat make an educated guess that the world we live in is better in most measurable ways than 30 years ago and is least religious of all time, and the caller said look at middle east they’re mostly religious but not as advanced as the west?! How does that demonstrate religion is good? The middle east is better in most measurable ways than middle east was 30 years ago and the middle east has the least amount of religious compared to 30 years ago and thats true. So it proves nothing bringing up the middle east, but even if it were to show something, that thing is that in a specific point in time, the more religious a country is the more shitty it is. Which is another form of the first statement but instead of time being a variable, place is a variable. And Im from Iran in the middle east so I know what shitty is. And practically most, if not all of the shittiness in the middle east is because of or directly tied to religion.
Why in the fuck should I be afraid of worms and insecets eating my corps when I die, I think I will be dead and not feeling any sensation, or maybe creamated and being dead not giving a shit anymore as to events taking place anywhere involving me or not? Please do not answer, I know the answer.
I'm with Matt with using the facts, we need the numbers to be taken seriously and inflating them will make us look stupid or radical. We need a conversation with the facts and a plan, not propaganda vs propaganda hoping some sheeple will outdo other sheeple cause we have problems but when I here people blow things out of proportion idc what side of the argument they're on, I just tune them the fuck out.
I watch it at least once a day.
One thing that I would love to see more of on The Atheist Experience is more experts in science as gas. I know it's The Atheist Experience and not a science show, and evolution and other science is it necessarily a requirement of atheism, but Linnea did a great job putting that into terms that many people could understand. And there are so many calls about science and Matt does a great job of having a handle on many of the science positions out there. But it would be great to occasionally see someone well versed in biology and geology and such that could come on and talk about some of the information that answers a lot of the theist callers questions. I'm not saying every week, but it would definitely be awesome to see a little bit of that. Again atheism isn't necessarily tied to Evolution or the Big Bang or anything like that, but having an expert that is qualified of actually explaining in more detail why these theists are completely wrong along with Matt and the other host and co-host explaining the flaws in thinking would be I think really beneficial
Very varied and useful episode!
I remember this guy calling and talking to tracie. She was so nice. Then matt got ahold of him and laid down some tough love.
Ah yes, "this" guy. He reminds me of that movie with those two guys that went to that place and then that thing happened. You've seen it, right?
Don Baker: To clarify, the State leaves the *choice* of open (and concealed) carry on campuses up to the individual campuses. Which most likely they still ban. So no net change except the choice is closer to the people it affects as opposed to coming down from above.
01:01:40 "Sam Harris has pointed out, that in the case of twinning, in the fetus - does the soul get implanted at conception and then it splits into twins, does god add an extra soul there, do they have half a soul (or maybe a fourth of a soul if we get quads)..."
Well, if they are gingers then there is no soul. ;)
Did the animated video ever get made? If so, where can I find it?
Woll... Woll... Woll...
They should add dons failures of christianty to the video description.
i love to watch the last 2 minutes of each call
I might have fallen in love with Linnea
The only person who can stop me from believing in God is me.
I don't need scientific proof of evidence
I don't need chronicle order
I don't need court documents
I don't need demographical architectural committees
And I don't need religion.
On the moon photo video, if they both see the same face of the moon and the same phase from the northern and southern hemisphere, the close, local moon circling over the middle of earth that the flat earth model claims, is impossible. So it does debunk them just not purely by the inverted image.
I am Libertarian atheist in the way Penn Gillette is. SO I am very tolerant of whatever kind and amount of any property my neighbor has. I make an exception for nuclear items, without certified professional management. I was kicked out of Catholic School in third grade. I refused to say the Pledge with the "under god" part because it is a lie for me! Please do not assume that every meeting of atheists is also a socialist or marxist meeting, or even just democrat (or republican or libertarian...). Let's tackle one issue at a time and have bigger tent! What is heresy? where are the front lines?
Stephen from Tokyo's IQ ten is points lower than a kumquat
I understand why some are " ProLife". But sometimes a woman is not willing or able financially to care for a new child. So if you want the privilege of telling someone else what they can and can't do with their body, and you insist the child be born - then YOU should be willing to adopt that child and pay to raise that child through the age of 18. It is estimated that raising a child through high school costs approx $250,000. Should they also go to college, add another $150k to $400k. ProLifer's NOT willing to adopt the child or financially support the child are hypocrites and should shut up.
18:53 - Nice BILLY MADISON quote! "I award you no points, and may G-O-D have mercy on your soul."
"If you're not giving anything but thoughts and prayers SHUT THE FUCK UP!!"
Yes! That. Thank you, Matt. Succinct and to the point, as always, and spot on!
Rob: "The only real picture of earth from space...is from the fake moon landing." I. I ...!
Teddy sounds like he's dealing with intrusive thoughts, and maybe OCD. I hope that he was able to speak to a mental health professional about this.
It was nice to have Linnea on and talk about radio active carbon dating but she likely lost most people in the first half of her call. She can make that explanation even easier to understand by cutting out talk of unnecessary items that she herself said. I hope she comes back on at some point.
Poor Teddy has had his mind destroyed by christianity
So sad to see. By the sound of things, he will never let go of that fear.
I can watch this muted as long as I get to see Don's facial reactions to the nut jobs!...roflmao
How is lying to your children harm?...you would tell your child it will rot in hell for eternity because you read it in a book written two thousand years ago.
Watch Eminem (the real Slim Shady) suing the ACA for using his name in vain.
Teddy remembers having called the show. "2 or 3 weeks ago...or a week ago."
He can't recall whether it was 1 or 2 or 3 weeks.
How... could you have that window?
In his defense, he also doesn't know when or if he's going to hell
I'm a public transit operator. I barely remember what I did within a 4 hour span.
what the fuck is a soul, a ghost inside of you!
Or (far?) outside you. Running you like a drone.
1:30:07 Sorry, @Matt Dillahunty, you are wrong on this one: you can change left to right over an horizontal plane by moving away in opposite direction from a central line, but CANNOT CHANGE UP TO DOWN! That rotation is only possible over a curved surface which is what rotates up and down as you move further from the central line and the angle of view changes.
New Zealand just legalized abortion....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You guys have to work on your list of why religions are harmfull 😎 look also at islam or scientology...
1:00:33 -- ROFL!
1:11:00 -- I love Don's laugh! xD
I watched a video yesterday, the womans friend had eleven abortions. come on man. They should not be used as birth control. Matt and Don are my favorite team. They are the Johnny and Ed of this show.
1. I doubt that "friend of a friend" had 11 abortions. Proof, please.
2. Most places have a cutoff where they won't pay for it anymore, and offer sterilization or IUD or other methods instead.
3. Why is 11 too many? Says who? What exactly is the cutoff number in your mind?
4. They ARE used for birth control. That's exactly what an abortion is. I think you mean they should not be used as a contraceptive. Other than the expense and discomfort of the woman, why exactly not, if she wants to?
5. I've never had an abortion and never will, but I support other womens' right to choose to have them if they want (or to refuse them if they want), and I don't think it's up to me to say how many are "too many." Like I said, most places limit the number a person can get anyway, and that figure of 11 thus seems like total bs to me. If she is paying for them herself, she likely has the smarts to make the money to pay for the procedures...so she likely also has the smarts to prevent unwanted pregnancies more effectively. If she is not paying for them herself, she would have been cut off before 11. But even if that's not the case, I'll stick by my other points :P
Stephen likes to say like, like, like.....ad infinity.
First caller no wackier than others.
I wonder about probiotic civilisation...
Does Dan evah say anything without laughing?
Don
You guys are smarth but who ever did chose this music for the start of the show haven't involved musically since the kindergarten.
Why?
Do you really think these guys wrote that song lol
@@cjtjets5941 How did you get that idea?
I never said that.
Seriously folks! Do as Matt suggested. Go over to Shelly Segal's TH-cam channel. Give her a like, subscribe, and leave a comment. Her song was a national anthem for atheists. Give her some love.
The music at the start is amazing. Have you read the lyrics? You write a better one. I'll be waiting.
29:20
I didn't get the name of the artist on the intro. I tried several times to relisten. Still don't get it
If you're talking about the artist singing the song, it's Shelly Seagal, I hope I spelled it correctly. She was also once a guest on the show.

@@aleksandarpolak It's Segal but I just went over left a bunch of likes, subscribed, and viewed a bunch.
@@chrisccc22 This comment was more than 3years ago and I have been a supporter of Shelley Segal since then.
Calm down.
@@justanormalday7251 I don't think I was yelling. I too have been a fan for years. Just spreading the message. Trust me. I'm calm. Something tells me you may be upset though. Have a nice day.
The part in the video just after Don gives his intro convo, and Matt interjects, they talk about the school shooting statistics and how both sides of the fence are dishonestly arguing and exaggerating etc. I know this video was filmed during the second month of the year, so the "1 shooting per week" stat couldn't possible estimate the rest of the year, this is wrong. But as it turns out Matt school shootings statistically are happening more and more in America for sure. I dont know about other crimes but as it turned out, as we near the end of 2018 the numbers have been collected and numbers dont lie. Infact to correct Matt, the day before this was filmed, February 17 a "school shooting" occurred. "One dead and seven wounded in suspected gang shooting in Kansas City, Kansas." But alas, this is not the point. It is the point Matt made before they get into their first call, described it well. "One is too many". Guns are bad. They just are. I call them weapons of mass destruction, and infact, in a huge debate I had in the ACA Discord server online i had with some guys some disagreed and some didnt with me if Guns are infact weapons of mass destruction i personally dont see how they arent. Americans i have learned cling to what has been when it comes to guns.
Thanks.
@@Godslayer1975 So first please read over what i said again. Maybe if i am correct in what you are saying it seems to me as if you are missreading or i have explained my point poorly. I was not attemping to correct matts points, I was simply adding to it with my own thoughts. However, just in case you still dont understand/read properly let me reinforce my opinion. I never once said any of them were being wrong, I was just stating that since the recordings there have been many "school shootings". Now why you think the media would lie about this sort of thing is beyond me, they do not gain anything, but I was taking statistics straight from the people. Again, the day before this video was filmed a (notice quotation) "school shooting occured". People may be dishonest about many things, but the fact remains. Guns kill.
@@thedevil3890 Im talking about guns here. You can dance around on what type of shooting they are etc, but the keyword here is "shooting". It needs to stop and there are ways to stop it. But it just so happens that its an age old right of the american people, which is outdated, useless, and frankly backwards. Just remember as the guys said, "one is too many".
Way to be matt.. Way to yell at teddy for believing something you dont believe! You’re good at this
I think you guys need to stay away from political topics, since you seem weak in this area, especially what happened in the Middle East.
What business does one have who claims to have such sacred facts in dealing with topics of faith? It seems an error to say if our science cannot prove it it does not exist. According to this logic 500 years ago electricity does not exist, the sun revolves around the earth, and man is the center of the cosmos. But the last belief seems to be more prevailing than ever, as evidenced by this youtube video.
It's not a case of "science cannot prove it", it's a far more basic matter of "the people who actually believe it have no good reason".
Matt, when you leave religious topics, you're out of you depth and raving on makes you out an oppiniated ignoramus.
gun laws will not prevent shooters. there is a violence problem. i don't see a gun problem. if someone wants to commit violence, but can't get a gun, they will find any number of other things to do the deed. ever look at a hardware store?
Let's see if the Las Vegas shooter could do equal damage with a hammer.
You're right. Switzerland has the most gun/person ratio of all of europe, but their culture isn't based on imperialism, supremacism and exceptionalism like the US culture. Under no pretext should the people be unarmed against the higher class and their army and police that serves their interests.
The difference is the amount of destruction that they can cause based on the weapon. The amount of deaths that result in the UK per capita because of like stabbings and non-gun related issues is so drastically below America's death by gun per capita
I love Don and Matt but killing unborn babies IS morally wrong by reality and civility standards. You don't need a god to tell you this. All you need is a brain and the capacity to reason.
In my reality as a nurse, I saw near term fetuses being expelled where the babies were exhibiting signs of pain, crying and being ripped apart, heads twisted, arms manipulated and bodies vacuumed out and then thrown in trash bins like a chicken bones.
In what reality can Matt and Don not see this as MURDER of a human, yet they can see that slavery is wrong???
In America, individual's rights are limited or restricted when it needs to benefit the whole of society.
What difference is limiting a woman's right to commit murder when it benefits the life of another individual? Yet they cry out the older human's rights outweighs the younger human's!!! By what standards do they come by this belief???
Sick sick sick. I was a nurse. I saw reality! I saw babies being murdered! Whoever defends abortion has no moral compass!
The abortion debate is about bodily autonomy. Nobody can force someone else to use their body to maintain someone else alive, no matter if they are a baby or a grown adult.
Matt talks about politics like a Christian talks about religion.
Could it be cuz he cuz one.
And remains steeped in those fantasies.
Naivety raised to a profession.
Aw, no-one cared about your childish insult, so you answered yourself.
Bless... :)

How can they say there is no God how foolish
Its not foolish believing in a god but believing in a exsitence that just appeared by chance that's foolish. Face the truth, the sky daddy is the reason were here.
provide evidence for god.
@ezeeckiel stop saying there is a god when you have no evidence...how hard is that?
@ezeeckiel p.s. I'm not even making a claim. p.s.s. christian school hardly counts as proper education...
Where is this god? Why do you believe in something you can't see, heat or talk to?
