This reminds me of an editorial cartoon I saw on another podcast's thumbnail. It depicted two aliens in a space ship flying over the moon, looking back at Earth as our planet, with multiple explosions coming from it. One alien says to another- " there go those Earthlings again - fighting over which religion is the most peaceful. "
Seth, all the kids in my family had a toxic relationship with our mother. I tried to communicate with my mom but she’d zing me every time. A friend said, “Why do you keep doing this to yourself .” It made me think and asked myself why I keep allowing her to verbally hurt me. So I stopped. Protect yourself and stay away from toxic people, even if it is your mother. Then don’t feel guilty about it. Enjoy the freedom from being abused.
I did this with my mother when I was 21 or so. It was like an INSTANT diet. The weight that came off of me was so relieving. She never liked me. I'm an only child, but my cousin was her favorite. When I finally said "fuck it", I was able to not be stressed when a family gathering was coming up. So much more peace in my soul! Highly recommended!
In response to Jennifer’s call, one thing we can do is join and/or support groups like Freedom From Religion Foundation, American Atheists, Secular Coalition for America, American Humanist Association, Secular Student Alliance, and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. They are fighting to keep religious superstition out of government and schools.
Somewhere along the line it went from a casual way of occasionally keeping up with acquaintances to 574 pictures of dinner a day. Tho the good bit of being atheist is everyone hates you. The 575th pic was my own offering of roast baby. And just to make sure the hatred was at maximum saturation, I served it with Oxo instead of a delicate jus infused with rosemary and a soupcon of fresh bat. Oh the calamity! Bet you're not even talking to me now, I'm that plagued.
I am not from US so no-one fecking cares what I think about god or if I believe it or not, including my family. Idk maybe generation before may have had troubles a bit about it - but they are gone now - just to say given the other comment you got. But I actually wanted to simply say to you that just stay strict about what you feel about F-book. I myself have absolutely no interest for any sort of social media. But I had to make some darn account on one of those cause my cousins wedding was being arranged via that damned platform. It annoyed me already then, cause I was even before against the idea of putting my or really anyone's private lives that openly public for any reasons. I don't view it as a smart or very internet-security-conscious a move, period. So when that shit was over I just stopped to care about the page, with the final message saying something along the lines that social media is not my thing, the reasons why not all though strictly speaking even that's not anyone's onion to peel - and pretty much stated that it's nothing personal against any family or friends - but those who actually know me also know how to contact me, and can still do so via other means. Of course there are some who will try to insist on it - but I ignore them and don't feel bad about it, if they didn't bother to read what I left as my last message, even they aren't that interested in what's posted there and alas... The point being is that you too are in no way obligated to join or return to any a public forum for anyone and yes doing so can turn out or feel a mistake from the beginning. It hinges on weather you want your life for all the world to see, judge and possibly manhandle is up to you, and as you stated... you chose not to want it. Even if you erased something that you publish, there is no way to get it entirely off and away - and that being the nature of anything online, there being a copy or save with likelihood somewhere, even if you never did anything that got anyone's attention (for good or bad) - all that alone is enough to never even use your actual name online, never mind have social media site. So your choice really should be enough. For anyone who cares of you, that IS enough, no further discussions needed to be had. I chose to explain in the last message, before simply forgetting what I had shortly due that cousins wedding arrangements. Nothing complicated, just, stated that the shit isn't for me and people who actually know me also know how to contact me. But in all truth even having to explain isn't necessarily your responsibility, so what, you don't like being public cause perhaps you don't have it in you to want, even that tiny bit of 'fame' per say, lol, period. It's just laziness of people to have to dig out that phone number from the list or log on some messaging platform that does not have public element to it like Skype. Come to think, Skype is even cheaper than your phone for all those phone-calls, including when calling international and you get even an image with it (obviously not if calling the electric company, but calling them utterly possible). And other similar things exist, not that I would bother to have multiples of anything, so Skype can do for the example. Hell, you could even use just Discord - which costs nothing - I mean if you did not want / need the ability to call into phone numbers. So yea I option out from even the phone mostly, cause it's cheaper to use computer and I am in reach of it 24/7. But in all it is same here, ABSOLUTELY NO social media for me either. My husband has same take, the nature of it makes his skin crawl - so some folk out here do have same take about it in general, for various reasons. It's not even really good for a person's life to have to be online that openly or to have to - endure the related bs. - to consistently be on react and reachable - to always have to keep in touch with people. Even just that kind of responsibility about it isn't very pleasing a pressure to exist with. For me the reasons were on security, privacy and namely cause I don't like to be in focus of any attention where it's public, I am shy, I guess. But the thing is - you aren't obligated to return unless you want to.

I may be reading into it too much, but the last verse sounds a lot like a certain orange-skinned Florida Man… “Rovin' gambler, he was very bored Tryin' to create a next world war He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor "I never did engage in this kind of thing before But yeah, I think it can be very easily done" "We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun Have it on Highway 61"
Way back when I was a young Christian, my friends at bible study all agreed that Ezekiel from the bible was the village weirdo that parents warned their kids about, and told others to avoid him.
It's not so much that people in Florida are crazier than the rest of the country as it is that Florida's public records law makes their stories more prevalent.
I listened to a lawyer youtuber explain how that works a while back. Unfortunately, the open public record laws are being diluted as time goes by. That may be good for the reputation of "Florida Man", but bad for freedom of information.

Lol I caught a 30 day ban on FB for joking on a friend's page that since he had his knees replaced that I could save him the out of pocket costs by cutting off his legs at the knee. Caught another ban for posting a meme from Family Guy. The one with Bob Ross that said "It'll be our little secret and if you tell anyone I will cut you." My favorite ban was when I got a 72 hour ban for making a joke on a GWAR post about their GWAR brand alcohol. I said something about how I'd trade a handy for a bottle of their booze. Right up the alley of the crude silliness of GWAR. Getting Zucked is a fabulous way to spend your time online 😂

She advertises her business there. Facebook was her main source of advertising and getting clients and her 20-year long business has pretty much tanked. It's still inconceivable to me that this can happen to someone. Hopefully it does not happen to you! Good for you for removing toxic family members from your life.

At a bris, don't have the hors d'oeuvre... Along with being a lifelong atheist I have had to waste my time gathering the information and text which points to so much hypocrisy contained in biblical writings. A research and scientist with pursuits more fruitful, having to divert so much time and energy is giving me the ulcers I don't need. I have railed in the scientific community for failures, and I am committed to allowing everyone to be freed from biblical enslavement. I am an anti-theist.
I am unshakably convinced that the reviews are conducted by bots. One of my friends was flagged for posting a photo of her fully-clothed toddler, calling it nudity or sexual content. The review _also_ concluded that the fully clothed toddler was nudity or sexual content. Not even the most repressed human would make that judgement.
Hey Seth, this is a man from Florida and I and I play tennis disc golf, I teach golf And I am in my RV and will be driving through Oklahoma probably in the next couple of days and I would really enjoy hanging out with you
Christianity: moving the goal posts since 33AD. I hear ya on the “family holiday” joy, Seth. I stopped celebrating the Christian holidays when I realized that my parents were weaponizing them.
I have let my own (unorthodox) life. Just before my mother’s death, she wrote me a letter titled “ My prodigal Son.” Expounding on how I lived and telling me of her sorrow I had gone wrong. This had little to do with religion as such, I was living an “ artists” life. One basic reason is - I AM AN ARTIST! I read it periodically and feel regret she never could appreciate my way of life. I am now eighty and have had a great life. Productive, happy and satisfied, at peace. I have no contact with my family. They as well, still don’t get my way of life. Still going strong creating art. Also I gave up religion years ago.
Seth I doubt you will ever see this but the story of you setting boundaries with your mom, I can empathize so much, I too had to draw a line in the sand and declare Job 38:11 “…Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further…” the day she said to me “I wish you were dead than anyone know you are my son, you are an abomination to God and he will strike you dead and anyone who gives you comfort” and to imagine that was her response to me before she ever knew I was an atheist she turns 73 on the next MLK, JR. Day. Next year will be the 12th anniversary of her statement to me that day and not a single word has passed between us since, the last words I told her that day were consider me dead then cause I sure as hell consider you dead to me. It never ceases to amaze me how cruel, hateful and cold the one person who is supposed to love you unconditionally can be. I can only imagine her words if she were confronted with the truth of me being an atheist, I guess that would make me a double abomination, lol. Thank you for all you do I look forward to every show.
Mine wasn't religious, but she made up for it in other evil ways. For instance, I'm an only child, but her favorite was my cousin. I'm sure she loved me. But she NEVER liked me. She would always be up to spending time with my cousin, but anytime I asked her if she wanted to go do whatever, she always had a sinus headache or cramping or hadn't slept good the night before and was tired. Literally any excuse she could come up with. And the last time I allowed that to affect my mood was when I was 21 years old. In my mind, I divorced her that day and it was like I had INSTANTLY lost 100 lbs! I highly recommend it to anyone with a toxic relationship, be it friend, family member or significant other. Peace will truly enter your soul! She passed in 2010. I still haven't cried. I guess at this point, I never will.
Social media are using you as a product to make billions annually. There's no good reason to not have decent moderation. It doesn't have to be this way. I've been on Mastodon for a year. It's decentralized, human moderated, and a much better experience.
I used to love it! I met so many people from all over the world who were interested in the same things as I was, and I learned about their cultures. I made some good long distance friends (aka pen pals). I'm glad it happened, but I'm getting pretty sick of it anymore.
Seth, as a lifelong atheist I am more than concerned about theist and the destruction currently underway. You are sounding a bit tone deaf, we have more than half of the population of the U.S. have lost ownership of their bodies. Other large populations are set to lose their rights, and possibly the right to be...ask some Ugandan people. I suggest a more militant approach is not only appropriate, it is called for. I am not talking about armed militancy, I am talking about in your face constantly calling the BS and shutting this shit down. I know you don't read your Utubs but others possibly get this message.
Another excellent podcast in a long line of excellent podcasts. Long time viewer and atheist here. I value your sane and sensible approach in dealing wit theists, even the more unbalanced ones Always a good idea to leave a person a way out with some dignity rather than forcing them into a corner and then becoming defensive and unmovable. That being said, I was wondering if you had any suggestions in how to movie some of your fellow high profile atheists into following your lead rather than the yelling, screaming, cursing and berating that seems to be getting worse instead of better. Almost as if it is a planned style of interaction for ratings and in appealing to the lowest, most base level of their fan base,. My sense is that they are causing more harm than good. I know that this must be tricky as several of these individuals are your friends...
Yeah, he was a notorious anti Semite, who believed the Jews were part of some international conspiracy. I guess you could call him the Elon Musk of his day.
regarding the youtube/facebook issues, I remember the Hannah and Jake channel going through some of this as they review christian movies. There was a guy who worked for the movie producers they were reviewing that would illegally strike every video they posted. I believe they ended up going to court over it.

No great loss, Seth. I was on Facebook for about a month. Had dozens of "friends". Mostly pretty women who i didnt know, nor ever would. Regardless, despite that fact, i found the content to be so mindnumbingly, boring, stupifying, useless, and insulting that i cancelled it asap. I just cant understand what is the least bit fascinating about it.
I was never that angry with religion when I finally admitted to myself that I was an atheist. However, I am going thru this in a big way regarding my former political party. I feel angry and resentful of lied to by the republican party for years! The only good thing about the tangerine toddler entering politics is that it exposed what the repubs are up to. SOOOO ANGRY!!!
One thing there is plenty of the world is ignorance and stupidity. A third is assigned to politics and “three quarters” to religion. So many are ignited by buzz words.

I am unshakably convinced that the reviews are conducted by bots. One of my friends was flagged for posting a photo of her fully-clothed toddler, calling it nudity or sexual content. The review _also_ concluded that the fully clothed toddler was nudity or sexual content. Not even the most repressed human would make that judgement.
What would happen if suddenly non believers became the majority across the world?
In my opinion the world would become a more peaceful place.
Hey Seth, this is a man from Florida and I and I play tennis disc golf, I teach golf And I am in my RV and will be driving through Oklahoma probably in the next couple of days and I would really enjoy hanging out with you
Florida Man tells onlookers "I can see my house from up here.☣👻
(nailed it !)
Christianity: moving the goal posts since 33AD.
I hear ya on the “family holiday” joy, Seth. I stopped celebrating the Christian holidays when I realized that my parents were weaponizing them.
On the speaker of the house problem I have a suggestion. Everyone please remember to vote blue and make sure that your vote will count!
I have let my own (unorthodox) life. Just before my mother’s death, she wrote me a letter titled “ My prodigal Son.” Expounding on how I lived and telling me of her sorrow I had gone wrong. This had little to do with religion as such, I was living an “ artists” life.
One basic reason is - I AM AN ARTIST! I read it periodically and feel regret she never could appreciate my way of life. I am now eighty and have had a great life. Productive, happy and satisfied, at peace. I have no contact with my family. They as well, still don’t get my way of life. Still going strong creating art. Also I gave up religion years ago.
I think I’m in the Trappist Monk phase of my atheism.
Seth I doubt you will ever see this but the story of you setting boundaries with your mom, I can empathize so much, I too had to draw a line in the sand and declare Job 38:11 “…Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further…” the day she said to me “I wish you were dead than anyone know you are my son, you are an abomination to God and he will strike you dead and anyone who gives you comfort” and to imagine that was her response to me before she ever knew I was an atheist she turns 73 on the next MLK, JR. Day. Next year will be the 12th anniversary of her statement to me that day and not a single word has passed between us since, the last words I told her that day were consider me dead then cause I sure as hell consider you dead to me. It never ceases to amaze me how cruel, hateful and cold the one person who is supposed to love you unconditionally can be. I can only imagine her words if she were confronted with the truth of me being an atheist, I guess that would make me a double abomination, lol. Thank you for all you do I look forward to every show.
Mine wasn't religious, but she made up for it in other evil ways. For instance, I'm an only child, but her favorite was my cousin. I'm sure she loved me. But she NEVER liked me. She would always be up to spending time with my cousin, but anytime I asked her if she wanted to go do whatever, she always had a sinus headache or cramping or hadn't slept good the night before and was tired. Literally any excuse she could come up with. And the last time I allowed that to affect my mood was when I was 21 years old. In my mind, I divorced her that day and it was like I had INSTANTLY lost 100 lbs! I highly recommend it to anyone with a toxic relationship, be it friend, family member or significant other. Peace will truly enter your soul!
She passed in 2010. I still haven't cried. I guess at this point, I never will.
Social media are using you as a product to make billions annually. There's no good reason to not have decent moderation.
It doesn't have to be this way. I've been on Mastodon for a year. It's decentralized, human moderated, and a much better experience.
I find Facebook less and less relevant to my life everyday.
I used to love it! I met so many people from all over the world who were interested in the same things as I was, and I learned about their cultures. I made some good long distance friends (aka pen pals). I'm glad it happened, but I'm getting pretty sick of it anymore.
Jesus condemned religious leaders more than any other group, yet many Americans revere them as if they are gods.
Seth, as a lifelong atheist I am more than concerned about theist and the destruction currently underway. You are sounding a bit tone deaf, we have more than half of the population of the U.S. have lost ownership of their bodies. Other large populations are set to lose their rights, and possibly the right to be...ask some Ugandan people.
I suggest a more militant approach is not only appropriate, it is called for. I am not talking about armed militancy, I am talking about in your face constantly calling the BS and shutting this shit down. I know you don't read your Utubs but others possibly get this message.
Poaching the egg?! ... Badgering the witness!!! 🤣
Florida man spends 1 year hand building floating petting zoo.
Another excellent podcast in a long line of excellent podcasts. Long time viewer and atheist here. I value your sane and sensible approach in dealing wit theists, even the more unbalanced ones Always a good idea to leave a person a way out with some dignity rather than forcing them into a corner and then becoming defensive and unmovable. That being said, I was wondering if you had any suggestions in how to movie some of your fellow high profile atheists into following your lead rather than the yelling, screaming, cursing and berating that seems to be getting worse instead of better. Almost as if it is a planned style of interaction for ratings and in appealing to the lowest, most base level of their fan base,. My sense is that they are causing more harm than good. I know that this must be tricky as several of these individuals are your friends...
Google is similarly frustrating to FB. Some of my innocuous comments get flagged, I guess, because I included a link to another website.
From what I've read, TH-cam now automatically deletes all comments with web-links in them.
@@HystericalSej - good to know.
I've recently had to be tactful and understanding with some theist friends. Being a jerk about my beliefs would only push them away.
Did you know that Hitler was inspired by Henry Ford?
Yeah, he was a notorious anti Semite, who believed the Jews were part of some international conspiracy. I guess you could call him the Elon Musk of his day.
Florida man runs for the presidency and wins
That's why some of us here in Flori-duh call it Flori-duh.
regarding the youtube/facebook issues, I remember the Hannah and Jake channel going through some of this as they review christian movies. There was a guy who worked for the movie producers they were reviewing that would illegally strike every video they posted. I believe they ended up going to court over it.
Florida man disrobes and washes his friends feet wearing only a towel
Young Florida man follows Jesus out of Gethsemane wearing only a cloth and runs away naked when cloth is ripped off of his body.
Florida man has 3 personalities, one of which he claims is a ghost.
Florida Man claims he lived for three days inside a whale’s belly, no signs of being partially digested.
Well, in the pictures I've seen, I can verify it was dry in there and he even had a fire built!
I have never done Facebook nor do I have desire to do so.
Facebook banned me for calling a Canadian friend a Canadian ahole or something like that. Jokingly.
No great loss, Seth. I was on Facebook for about a month. Had dozens of "friends". Mostly pretty women who i didnt know, nor ever would. Regardless, despite that fact, i found the content to be so mindnumbingly, boring, stupifying, useless, and insulting that i cancelled it asap. I just cant understand what is the least bit fascinating about it.
You got to upload all your podcasts to a different app and share the link here
Love you! ❤
I had the same thing done to me = was something someone ELSE had already posted --- like a month no post
When the pastor pounds the pulpit that's his sin.
You should make a series of videos talking about the fraud, hoaxes, sex,violence, and crimes in the bible.
So the Bible?
Florida just has easy and free access to mugshots and arrest records, that sort of thing. Any journalist can go digging in there on a slow news day.
Florida man kills employee who tried to stop golden box from falling.
It's not his actual foot she puts it on. Often foot is a euphemism for something else in The Bible...
I was banned from Facebook for calling someone a great ape.
I was never that angry with religion when I finally admitted to myself that I was an atheist. However, I am going thru this in a big way regarding my former political party. I feel angry and resentful of lied to by the republican party for years! The only good thing about the tangerine toddler entering politics is that it exposed what the repubs are up to. SOOOO ANGRY!!!
The pastor is "trans", but not transsexual, transvestite. Some people don't know that dressing in drag could also be called being a transvestite.
Facebook is merinade for studity, and Instagram foments narcissism. Just say no to anything meta..
Reminds me of Andrea Yates. What religion did to someone already with mental illness.
I wanted to create a Florida man post about Psalms 137:9, but I think that verse is too wretched and vile even for a Florida man.
One thing there is plenty of the world is ignorance and stupidity. A third is assigned to politics and “three quarters” to religion.
So many are ignited by buzz words.
FB cancelled me 3 years ago for anti-Nazi posts. I don't miss it.
Florida man constantly contradicts himself. Reference, the entire wholly babble.
First Florida man slapped unconscious by First Florida woman after he made fun òf her missing body parts.
No only was Hitler into Christianity, he and his gang were obsessed with the occultic stuff like the Spear of Destiny, the Grail, the Black Sun, and on and on and… And wasn’t Hitler’s birthday observed as a holiday by the German Catholic Church? Sorry, I can’t find the source on that…
Isn’t Balaam’s donkey story in Numbers? Just nitpicking.
Florida man wrestles God, gets punched in the balls
Every other you-tuber have figured out "do not name Mr Adolf" in time so might you.
Two fawns lolz
Floridon't.
It was probably a Christian that reviewed your post and thought it best to leave it banned
that’s why i left FACISTbook.
I guess that’s the only way to delete your account permanently??
Seth, try being a gay atheist. You got two social stigmas working against you. And the reasons often overlap for religious people.
So 😂😂
