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 was an atheist, but I found too many contradictions, so I became a catholic."
I think my brain just leaked out of my ear.
ha ha!
She is supporting child predator priests
No no, she explained it perfectly in the call. She wants justification to kill people. She wants to only be accountable to her imaginary friend, who has questionable morals at best, instead of real life people.
I know! 😥😢😭
Everytime they say they used to be atheists, I smell BS.
There's no contradiction in atheism, it's a conclusion due to a lack of evidence, so these are the words of a preacher of some sort.
"I'm not a psychopath I just did it for god" type of lady
Mass shooter mentality
You did it all for the nookie??

“Saying they killed thousands of defenseless people is a straw man”

“Yes I think killing thousands of defenseless people is fine”
9 million were killed in the Crusades. Given the world’s population at the time it was the equivalent of World War 1.

@@firmak2 You are aware that in ww1 people could move faster and kill faster right? So basicly its the same thing....
The horrifying part is, people like her are on local School Boards, and in our Governments.
Maybe in America not really in civilized countries
And, many are trying to make the USA a Theocracy. Maybe they won’t kill your if you don’t have a beard, but you better wear your Sunday best and be at mass or ELSE.
@@lucylane7397as an American it hurts me to say this gal gets it.
@@lucylane7397 Not only in the US, there are many muslims in the UK on school boards who bring their perverted sense of morality to the table; forcing schools to change their diets, misogyny, homophobia, and many other repugnant ideas based on their q'uranic framework .

The caller demonstrates perfectly the saying... "Ain't no hate like Christian love"
100%
Yep
Too far king right mate!
The Christ-phobes do have a lot of hate in their hearts.
Well put!
A perfect example of someone who believes themselves to be morally superior but proving with every single breath that they are utterly morally bankrupt.
This woman Diana has absolutely no morals. The most vile immoral act one can commit is to kill another human being. This woman has no conscience, compassion or empathy , the most important and unique attributes that set fully fledged decent human beings apart from the rest of the animals. She is a SUB-HUMMAN or a human CREATURE and not a human-BEING.
💯
And I hate the fact that we have the same name.. Urgh
Totally....what annoys me is the complete ignorance to the hypocrisy of her position.
@@quintonsm2616 what's that expression, there are none so blind as those who will not see or something like that
This reminds me of: “With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
Poor woman. As Hitchens said, "Good people will do good things, evil people will do evil things, but only religion can make good people do evil things."
She's not a good person ... quite obviously
The full quote from Steven Weinberg not Hitchens:
Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
Good people don’t do evil things- REGARDLESS of what religion tells them to do
@@tiagopaes9524 Then what was the Spanish Inquistion? The Crusades? and many, many more evil deeds done by good people in the name of religion?
“Murdering innocents is just fine” she says with glee in her voice.
So peaceful right?
I have to assume she is not Catholic at all and is just trolling.
AS CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS STATED, RELIGION POISONS EVERYTHING!
and Diana's rant proves it.
@@nevyn_karres why?
The glee of an absolute psychopath.
Diana learned a new word (strawman) and wants to use it everywhere even if it doesn't fit. 😂
A neat verbal popgun of defense,i wonder how she would rationalize a family member or friend being molested by a catholic priest? Oh thats Right! she had that covered too....
It’s no one else’s fault if your position is built with all the intellectual sturdiness of a man made of straw.
The logical fallacy is two words, the straw man fallacy.
Yeah I was wishing they would have asked her “what does “strawman” mean?” , because I could tell she does not know
Yes, it was hilarious that she clearly doesn't know what that even means. Noone made any straw man arguments.
The worst part, to me, is that she probably left that call thinking that they just wouldn't hear her out.
There's almost no chance that the call had any impact on her and that is absolutely terrifying.
"Don't take advice from someone you wouldn't take criticism from." That's great advice, Forest.
When MY religion kills others, it is OK.
When THEIR religion kills my people, it is PERSECUTION.
- Every Xtian / Muslim / Hindu
LOL
You should just say "close to every religion"
Only two I can think of that dont think this way
@@sephidude123: Why? Sanjeev's comment is precise and true as written while you don't bother giving the 2 you can allegedly think of.
@@Johnboy33545 I'm not disagreeing with him.
I'm saying expand it to include almost all other faiths.
The two I couldn't say at the time (because I was working and didn't have the time to fully write out my reply) are Buddhism because it strictly preaches peace, and Satanism because it's unironically based and nonviolent.
Nowadays, they claim that they're persecuted for nearly any reason under the sun.
an Xtian perhaps but No real Christian can kill others, unless in self defense life/death situation. they are meant to pray for their enemies, not hate them.
I love the way that Forrest ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT let theists slide off onto another topic.
Totally agree. Even on TH-cam comments the religious want to flick from one subject to another and just fire off questions like you're on a time clock. No matter how many times they try to change the subject, don't let them! Haha
@@chickenfist1554 And when you do demand they answer the question, they claim they answered it. A strawman in and of itself.
@@SoftBank47 Had that exact thing a day or so ago lol
I get the same thing when I use history and their own bible as reasons that the bible is morally bankrupt
They do love to slither away
And if someone asks again "why are you doing this show", this is exactly why. When basic common sense and morality is outshined by some old writings, this is an issue for humanity.
✝️⚔️⚛️
Only thing that sucks about atheist experience is you always know who’s gonna win
🤨
Her honesty shocked me more than her morality 😆😆
In a way, thank god for her honesty.
She's proudly psychopathic dressed up in religion's poison.
@@twcnz3570 thank who?
The thing is, the more moral she thought she got, the worse it got. 🤣
@@kentonbaird1723 100%
She lost the argument before the Crusades but she lost her head when she tried defending Crusaders.
Forest: is killing 2000 Muslim prisoners of war by beheading ok
Her: yes
Absolutely fucking insane holy shit
She's undoubtedly one of those people that everyone thinks is a sweet angel but is a monster underneath. Terrifying.
I like how she's ok with the killing part, then says shes 'moral' with a straight face. I honestly thought this was a put up. Then I realised, she's just nuts.
"But it's a strawman! You aren't allowed to repeat what I say!"
Diana: "My moral framework comes from god and that means anything done in the name of god to push Christianity further is correct and good."
Hosts: "I think that if you believe that killing unarmed and defenseless people for your god is good then you are morally bankrupt."
Diana: "Well what framework are you using to come to that moral conclusion? You don't have one so you can't judge me."
Please, girl - I have a heart, empathy, and compassion. Some things you obviously are lacking. I don't need your religion since obviously, I'm morally above you and your god.
So true, I also wonder why the stories of Lot trying to give his daughters to be raped, a concubine being raped whole night then being cut into 12 parts for the tribes, Job is happy to have new 10 children even though the first ones died by God’s betting game, 42 children killed by bear, Samson’s crazy immoral story and many more are okay to these Bible believers, and even NT god refers OT as loving Father!? knowing these stories! It’s beyond words!
When you’re an evil person you don’t care about morals, and only care about justifying your awful behavior.
@@DontRespectTheUS and when you're in a group that's evil. Then you'd find any reason to excuse your group
The crusades were just another war, like the last Iraq war... The Catholic church at this time was a political actor, that's not the case anymore. So that's like saying: "you support evolution, what about those theories of race superiority that came from it? That makes you a racist".
@@eh9618 indeed that is what Dianne is doing 🤮🤮
"we invaded and slaughtered your children to defend ourselves"
Yeah, that might be one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard
Yet still widely used today.
That's Russia right now.
@@___Chris___ exactly what I thought.
Anne Frank posed a credible thread to the Third Reich. Of course pyscho, makes perfect sense.
Lets just say shes literally living up to her biblical morals
Morality framework = sympathy/empathy and reason/rational thinking. Thats all thats needed.

Megatron is LORD
This women believes that killing non-believers is moral and I as an Atheist can't determine good or bad? Really.
God: Thou shalt not kill.
Also God: Hey yo, go kill those people over there 'cus I said so.
I woud have been discussed even if I were christian
The Fear of hell and the Greed for heaven can corrode morality easily....

This is gold. She is insane
Totally insane, how sad to be so brainwashed
And likely dangerous.
No, No.
Morally good (christian version)
Christians define "moral" as "whatever the guy with the biggest stick says"
This woman is the ultimate caricature of a theist!!!!!!
Way to go forrest for not letting her just change the subject
Yeah.. that bitch needed to have her nose rubbed into her amoral justification of the Church's actions.
100 against 1 she was about to rant against the trans comunity.
the Crusades were a response to the Islamic raids that went all the way from arbia to north Africa to Spain and Europians had to start fighting back all the way until the age of Salah al Deen who toke the middile back again
@@ravenvalentine4919 and that justified murdering children and other non-combatants? Including beheading POWs?
@@TheNinthGenerarion dude i am an ashiest , i dont agree with her madness but she was not historically incorrect
I think she saw someone in a video win an argument using the Strawman defense and she thought it was a kill shot, so then she tried to use it against two people that know exactly what it means.
LOL!!
Yes! Exactly!
Yup, for shure.
Lmaooooooo
Yes, you can't accuse someone of using a straw man argument when they're repeating your exact argument.
This lady is exactly what led me to leave Christianity. The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it with a putty knife. Her rationale is insane! That's what drove me away. Shes absolutely nuts and horribly brainwashed. If she has children the kids are in danger, and should be checked on by the authorities. I'm delighted they held her to her claims, she should be investigated. GROSS in every way.
Her rationale is acceptable if you were living in 11th century Europe. Catholics, and at the time all Christians were Catholic, believed the Pope to be the Vicar of Christ on earth, his representative. If the Pope said we need to march to Jerusalem and put those heathen Muslims to the sword, that's what you did.
Catholics still believe the Pope is the vicar of Christ I believe.
James, I hear you. I've had the same experience with a few people who follow morals and values of the bible. My eyes were opened wide, realizing how damaging religion is. For example, one homophobic friend said that LGBT people are a 'mistake'. Needless to say, we've grown apart. I won't tolerate the judgmental and bigoted behavior.
@@dontworrybehappy150 🔴⚛️⚔️✝️🟣
Megatron is LORD
Another PERFECT example what religion can do to people and their moral compass.
✝️🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟
I'm a jaded old guy, been to a couple of county fairs, thought I'd pretty much see most of the crazy the world has to offer, and I'm not easy to shock any more. This insane woman just managed to accomplish that. Very, VERY disturbing.
She is the same sort of amoral monster that thought it okay to fly aircraft into the Twin Towers. Except that in her book, if another religion does it it is an attack, but if her religion does it it is a defense.
I find it horrifying that she questions atheist's abilities to distinguish right from wrong - when she spends the entire call defending her position of supporting a religion that approved the murder of innocent and vulnerable people, when the 'moral code' she stands behind clearly states: 'Thou shalt not kill.'
If that isn't an inability to distinguish right from wrong, I don't know what is.
@@debbiehenri345 The problem is it also says to kill. The bible contradicts itself over and over. It is ridiculous to me any adult could believe it.
@@debbiehenri345 yeah, but the thing about the moral code she stands behind is that it applies veeeery selectively, a short wander through the old testament should be enough to disprove any sort of rigid adherence either by their deity of choice or his "chosen people". And whenever confronted with that or the atrocities done in the name of christianity since it becoming the dominant western European religion (and in reality also the horrendous acts perpetrated in order for it to become that) then all of a sudden, from a christian perspective, atheists have no moral framework to judge those actions.
Right? Hahahahaaaaaa!
4:21 I love that Forrest tries to steelman what she said, and then his face just drops when she says the Crusades were just fine, revealing that she is exactly as bad as you might think she is.

"Is murder bad? Yes.
Is genocide bad? Yes.
Is infanticide bad? Yes.
Is adultery bad? Yes.
Well, Yahweh committed all of those bad things. It means he's evil.
No!
No?
No. Yahweh gave us the laws, but they do not apply to him."
If there are exceptions to laws, then those laws are not absolute and objective.
It's like she's da ( might makes right ) type of believers where no matter what EVIL almighty gawd idiot does he demands to do whatever he wants just guz he's gonna murder you to stop him.
Dave & Forrest make a great team.
When your argument is repeated back to you, & you get upset that's a good indication your argument/point is horrible. Hey Diana, if someone who believes in a different deity tries to behead you in the future, I KNOW you WON'T complain because you told all of us "that's moral" 🙃
You mean like how Matt Pornahutty used to scream out and curse and lose his marbles on the show when his arguments were horrible? BTW... where is old Matt now? The ACA pushed him out the door because of his narcissistic behavior. His whining finally caught up to him and he left because he couldn't get his way anymore over his handlers. Yep, he split or was forced to exit by his own so you can watch him cower on his own show now.
It wouldn't be to her because it is not the right fictional character shes beheaded fir
Live by the sword, die by the sword... It's only fair!
She won't complain because she'll be dead.
@@-EC002- an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
" I dont like logical contradictions"
And then she tries to defend a HUGE logical contradiction with multiple fallacies... O.o
When religious people say that, you just know that they have lost all logic. It means they are super super super skeptic about any science, to the extent they may think the earth is flat. But, ANYTHING in their religion is accepted as good, not the least criticism or anything.
I had to rewind that part to make sure I heard correctly. 😂 Poor little tink tink.
As soon as that back touched that corner she was in she ran.😂😂😂😂
I wasn't expecting the caller to be an absolute psychopath.
And there you have it folks a textbook example of "Christian Love and morality"
God loves you. So love him back, or he'll burn you in a fire. Forever. Makes sense, right?
@@revwillyg6450 Makes perfect (one might even say divine) sense.
Quite ironic that Christians portray atheist as immoral yet they use their religion to justify immoral acts. The atheists seemed more moral in this call here.
Christians don't do bad things or supposedly don't do bad things because they're afraid of hell.
I, as an atheist, don't do horrible and wicked things because I don't want to. I desire to be good and be treated well. I don't have a God to tell me that.
"Quite ironic that Christians portray atheist as immoral yet they use their religion to justify immoral acts"

This lady is disconnected from reality, current and historically.
You have to disconnect from reality when you believe in fairy tales because, when you bring them back to reality, it's like taking drugs from a drug addict🥵. These people don't know how to function without their dope call religion😅😂
Being disconnected from reality helps the faith go down.
No, she's just a Catholic.
@@Johnboy33545 And we get to hear plenty of protestants just as disconnected from reality if not more.
What is extraordinary is that those two main sectarian currents of Christianity both are driven by their fanatics to further a common goal of theocratic power but are also quite ready to wage religious war against one another as soon as all other "enemies" of their faith are conquered.
@@ingridschmid1709: I would never say protestants were any better, they are after all fellow Christians.
Wow, Diana just spews ignorance. When asked what objective morality she can point to she brings up the catholic church, but when questioned about the disgusting abuse within the catholic church she immediately appeals to subjective interpretation.
She also says "Popes can speak infallibly" and then blames Pope Francis for the problem.
A) Pope Francis is brand new and is the pope who came in after the issue was discovered.
B)Pope BENEDICT was implicated in one of the many cover ups and it's rumored that's why he stepped down.
C)those abuses were going on before either man was Pope. We don't even know when the problem began ffs. We do know it probably went on for almost the last hundred years. Hell it could have been happening since priests were forced forced to be celibate in the 1100s for alm we know.
And to top it the caller thinks she is way better informed than the rest of us ignorant heathens! 🙄
@@Mewse1203 LOL omg yes I missed that one, popes are infallible "except pope Fransis" jeez. She's a fringe catholic known as a Trad(traditionalist) unfortunately at some point I wound up with that crowd.(it tend to be the smarter catholics who are Trads) because logically if Catholisism is true, then it really should be that way. The problem is the premise "Catholosism is true" is bullshit & when a person realizes that non of it, traditionalist or modern catholic makes any sense when looked at from the outside. The hard part is looking at it purely objectively from the outside. Then there's the cognitive dissonance, then finally the breakaway. It was hard for me because I lost dear friends.
@@Mewse1203 Actually, the current pope francis is neck deep in his own pedophile coverup scandal, he went to great legalistic lengths to protect a serial pedophile offender named father grassi who sexually abused young parishioners in the Argentinian diocese that then archbishop Mario Bergoglio/the current pope francis was in charge of, these victims repeatedly asked for an audience with archbishop bergoglio/pope francis, he refused, and then spent extraordinary effort and time to legally protect this priest(father grassi) from legal punishment.This priests crimes were so grievious that he was convicted and jailed/ pope francis then lied about the presence of any pedophile offenders in his diocese in written word and verbally, saying "that there had been no pedophile clergy present in his diocese while he was archbishop" (a bald faced lie) Why did archbishop bergoglio lie? to protect his chance of canonization to popehood- plain and simple.All of this criminality has been exposed by journalists and public media-Its a fact! yet the pope remains in power and wont spend a minute in prison (where he belongs) for aiding and abetting a known pedophile.The catholic church is rotten to its core, using parishioners money to buy its "goodness" for centuries while its monastically twisted clergy have engaged in pedophilia for just as long.For this latest crime mario bergoglio A.K.A. pope francis earns the title: The Poppin' Fresh Pontiff Of Pedophile Protectors...

Diana: "I have a superior moral framework!"
Also Diana: "Morally repulsive things are fine!"
Theists seem unable to grasp how people asserting that something is good or bad without any supporting argument or evidence whatsoever is the very definition of subjectivity.
Honestly love the responses of the hosts to Diana statements. I was literally doing the same responses you were all doing.
I pity that woman but not as much as I pity the people that have to interact with her on a daily basis
She sounds like a perfectly normal middle class woman and of course no one gets to challenge her actual beliefs probably in her community. Christians who comment on social media often use the threat of eternal damnation to non believers since they personally will not torture but its OK to lay it off on some imaginary god invented in their mind. Their immorality allows for the worst imaginable punishment for non belief in their imagined deity and accepts that a father could cruelly sacrifice his earthly son for whatever strange reason yet insist that they have a monopoly on morality.
It is not just delusional but demonstrates the continual brainwashing which really needs at least critical thought and rebuttal and at worst is a form of insanity.
What a horrible person she is. If that’s Christianity, count me out.
Agreed.
it is and ive been out for 35 years.

I don't believe this was real. I'm surprised this many people do. Her tone was all wrong
@@mackhomie6 She just sounded to me like someone that suddenly realised she couldn’t actually defend her beliefs…
@@mackhomie6 she seemed like she wanted to press both for a commitment to an answer regarding morality (that it's all subjective, humanist values, etc.), I mean the moderators didn't trip in that trap but caught her in it was poetic justice. I did wish they wouldn't talk over each other (all 3) so we and they could hear the full argument. It was a bit heated.
She said that it was moral to kill unarmed people that were prisoners of war. The Malmedy massacre was a German war crime committed by soldiers of the Waffen-SS on 17 December 1944, at the Baugnez crossroads near the city of Malmedy, Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944 - 25 January 1945).

This woman is clearly okay with the account of the priest who chronicled Crusade atrocities in which he wrote that he wept with joy when walking ankle deep in the blood of women and children because he believed that running the sword through children was saving them from a life living as heathens.
I doubt this: not that I or this could justify such atrocities. The crusades were the result of muslumsarmies invading Christians countries in the Middle East and
across Spain. Thery were stopped at the French border.
Wow, such good, much moral.
Please!! I beg of you... Where to read such book?? Want to confirm it...
I knew how corrupt Catholic Church is because of the historical fiction of Dr. Jose Rizal.. It is fictional but it gave glimpse of how atrocious the Viceroys (Mexican and Spanish) and the Catholic Church is to their colony.. Like his book is the reflection of its time..
I don’t think I’ve ever “GASPED” so hard in my life than when she said beheading POWs was moral. What. The. EFF. I’m beside myself with disbelief, holy crap.

@@destronia123 save a handful of times, he usually does it through other men, and even then, we're talking about condemning an action, regardless of our ability to stop it.
@@destronia123 but you did provide the correct theist answer. They'd even say that since God created us, he can do whatever he wants with us.
Every argument made for this almost always boils down to “might makes right”.
I've been hearing this for years and still laugh at it.
This chick is the craziest caller or at least top 5 in AA experience.
She lives in her own little reality where she can rewrite history to her content
Now the crusades were a defence and not an unprovoked offense
The crusades while unjustified by modern standards, were extremely provoked. The muslims in the levant were also invaders, also spreading their word by the sword.
Im tired of people using history as a club in debates. Leave the historical analysis to the experts.
Contemporary issues are enough to address any questions people might have on secular morality, or the evils of religious oppresion.
Look at it like this; The ruling party said the crusades were ok, so what do more do we need than that! Remember if you were catholic back then and you didn't think the crusades were a good idea, you'd probably see the pointy end of a spear.(or be cast out by the ruling party) The catholic version is that it was a defensive move, as Winston Churchill said "the best defnce is a good offence" That hardly excuses the atrocities, but when humans get drunk with power, shit happens.
to be fair: Islamists conquered a big part of "christian" Territory (even the 2 biggest Holy sites of orthodox christianity) and declared and followed through with hundreds of jihads before any Crusade ever happened.
but i have to add that doesn't make any of the atrocities the Crusade made along the Way Moral.
again: not a defence for any of it, i find the concept of a "Holy War" extremely immoral by itself and there is tons of stuff about the crusades you can criticise, them being "unprovoked" is not one of them.
They were merely a Special Religious Operation.
The crusades were bad - but they weren’t unprovoked. Muslim armies had by 1050 streamed across North Africa, taken over 90% of Spain and had tried to take over France until defeated at the battle of Poitiers by Charles Martel. Imagine us today seeing an army taking over half a continent, persecuting your people and enslaving them but waiting the better part of 300 years to mount a resistance.
“Because I dislike contradictions I’m ok with murder”. 😂
Is Dave ever on the show anymore? My heart goes out to him and I hope his disease hasn't stopped him altogether.
I can't remember when exactly, but it was announced on their channel that he was stepping away from doing shows. His illness has made things more difficult, and he wanted to spend as much time as he has left with his loved ones.
"It depends.." seems like an admission that its not objective
My super indoctrinated Bible believer family will also say the killing, tricking of innocents and all those immoral things what God allowed and the people who followed His commands are okay, nothing wrong. It’s beyond words!
I have the same family, but don't recognize your initials. 🤣🤣
@@jim.h Since my freedom from indoctrination, I enjoy watching and laughing my indoctrinated family being serious watching the charlatans Bible tv programs. I wish someday they will be free too.
LH, have ypu ever pondered the possibility that these sheep .... are not Elected to live in a Heavenly mansion .... but that Christianity may be a psy op created by inter dimensional beings ... and when they come back for The Harvest, they're gonna ritually sacrifice and eat the "Sheep."
Evil God death cult of faith.
Diana needs to review some history books!
She kept repeating, I think, when it's blatantly obvious she doesn't think, she just does what she's told by her religion.
If you read the Bible you'd know better.
That's the same argument. I have come across many situations in which people who have barely cracked the spine of a book suggest that if other people read more they would think differently. There is not just one way of interpreting history or the Bible. "Read more then you'd agree with me" is among the lamest of "arguments".
The first Crusade was justified and defensive in its aims. It turned into a bloodbath because of military considerations. Starving armies can't just turn around and go home across the land they have looted.
Indeed she needs to visit the graves of her American soldiers that died at the hands of the Waffen-SS during the Battle of the Bulge. What a despicable human being she is as a Nazi sympathizer.
@@MartinWillett I love when I get this one. I have read it multiple times and studied it in college book by book. I'm always ready to play who knows the bible better with Christians.
Man I love Forrest and his reasoning
One question she needs to hear “let’s say you’re still a Christian, and islam is the most followed religion. Would it be immoral if islam told Muslims they should spread faith by the sword and they did it?” If her answer is no, she contradicted herself.
She said, "I have no problem with the crusades." Then, when challenged as this being immoral, she actually said, "Don't put words in my mouth."
I am an atheist who knows the difference between right and wrong.
I do my best to do the right thing by myself and the world that surrounds me.
You can't possibly know the difference between write and rong without the knowledge of the flying spaghetti monster.
The T-shirt says it all... Truth in the making! 💪
At least she's mostly consistent. She may be a perfect example of why I'm an anti theist but I can at least respect the honesty.
And how are people like this caller is allowed to walk freely among the public? Apologizing for mass murder.
That's just how America is.
@@theunholinesswithin3601 not just the Americas
She should be on the watch list of the secret service as a potential terrorist.
@@DJ-73 but mostly
@@filthyclown8033 Why don't you just say that there are some fucked up people in the world rather than generalize an entire nation? There are a lot of people in America who are like the hosts and co-hosts on The Atheist Experience, and there are also plenty of agnostics in America who are also like that.
Diana has a very strong thought stopping mechanism. The thought is uncomfortable so I need to move on to a different thought and pretend the first one didn't happen.
That's every christian!
I made a comment on a local Nextdoor App.
In response to a religious quote that dozens of people responded simply with “Amen”
I said any one word response such as Amen is another example of piling on without substance…
Of course I was hammered in the responses. Many said they’d pray for me, and I begged not to. I’m fairly literate but I’m searching for a short, succinct response of my own.
"Killing kids is ok if its for god!"
"Killing children is always wrong"
"That is a strawman"
"How"
"Because killing kids for god is ok"
She said, "slaughtering is okay if they are infringing upon your rights and your life." Hello 👋 Overturning Roe v Wade is infringing on other's rights and lives
Ya know, this call was hard to listen to live, and it was even harder to listen to twice. Forrest and Dave kept their cool a lot better than I would have. Well done, guys.
I would cornered her Hard Core about the pedophile priest issue which she immedietely brushed off in a few words, (and was allowed to do so) no! i think the hosts let this miscreant off easily to appear "reasonable" Dillahunty would have blown her out of the water! nice Fumble hosts!
I Iove the way she came in thinking she was intelligent and very quickly learnt she wasn't! She has no moral standards whatsoever.
"Thou shall not kill," unless they don't believe the way that I believe. Unbelievable!
Her absolute belief in this being ok is astounding.
I am going to miss Matt terribly, as will the ACA themselves. The leadership appears to have followed the wrong path. I still have hope and I find the exuberance of Forrest to be a very welcome addition to the line up.
He hasn't gone anywhere, he's still doing the same thing, he's just doing it somewhere else.
Matt had his issues and I think bring new blood is better. Sorry but I feel Matt was way too abrasive and I felt we lost a lot of callers in the process. let me be clear here, I'm not saying the caller was going to become an atheist or something, but at the very least I want the caller to under the atheist perspective. I think many calls got pissed with Matt rightly or not and left a bad taste in their mouth.
I should mention Matt's own TH-cam channel is pretty fun so check that out. I really liked it, when he's cool.
@@jackkraken3888 In fairness it would only take me a month of speaking to people like this caller for me to be replying to everything they said with an instruction about sex and travel.
@@reggiedixon2 I completely agree, Matt has been doing this for years! But here's the thing are we actually getting through to the people calling in? There was a lady who got angry that Matt swearer and Matt didn't care and she cut the call. For me that's a failure. I don't think we need to swear to get our point across and this might be the last time she ever talks to atheist. Do you think that's ok?
That word strawman does not mean what she thinks it means.
I'm a big fan of Forrest after this video
Forrest looks to have a bright future ahead of him.
Forrest is honestly one of the best additions to The AXP
Needs to find a better balance with his co host for me. Many opportunities to let Dave take a run at Diana and he crashed over him.
There's another video where he goes off on a dude that said it's okay to beat kids and own slaves. Called him a fascist and everything. That's when I knew I loved Forrest
@@lmechb3305 I have only watched a few videos with Dave and Forrest, and Dave just isn't great host, but yeah Forrest should allow him to state his piece.
Don't forget folks: Diana's vote counts just as much as yours.
And she can probably breed.
Dave hope you are doing well and doing the best to fulfill all of yoir dreams in life.
I must say Diana is the first caller on this show to actually try and answer questions
I wish Diana would get on the comments.
That would be memorable. Nepy would fall in love, and SOT would suffer from the dilemma of agreeing with a woman. The thread would skyrocket.
