    We welcome your comments on the open blog thread for this show.

    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.

      Most Christians I talked to tell me straight away that I am going to hell for not believe in Jesus. It doesn't matter how good person I am in life, it doesn't matter how many people I helped in life, I am going to hell regardless because I don't accept Jesus.
      The funny thing they tried to justify that is a good decision on why I go to hell and Jesus never wrong, Jesus is always right and all that craps.
      And I tell you their actions are understandable to FEAR because if God or Jesus able to destroy the world once, and said will destroy the world again, even if a Devil, they will start to worship that Devil and praise him for all the good things because of FEAR.
      Edit: That actually happened to First Emperor of China and Chairman Mao, they killed enough people to instill FEAR to everyone and Mao brainwashed people where First Emperor FAILED to do. Now Chinese worship Mao like a Heroes, almost like a God. That just prove with enough FEAR, people can do anything.

      @Blade, The only thing stupid is you assume that would happen in few minutes or few hours. It also sounds like you know nothing about evolution at all.
      It's like idiot with no knowledge of scientific terms to try to understand it. Evolution takes place in a very long long process, the fast term could take millions of years.
      You also are stupid to think a gas form would evolve into tulip which different matter from gas to solid. Which again basic of physic which you failed to understand.
      However, again with ignorant argument like yours, everything created with Magic, no need for your God, for all we know, A unicorn, pixies or fairies would do the same job. So why God in this? Any magical or supernatural terms would fit into your theist ignorant argument.

    • @CuongNguyen-le5ic
      @CuongNguyen-le5ic 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Blade, You do know lots of Atheist used to be religious like Christians or Catholic, right? At least we Atheist understand more about Bible than you tried to understand about science. Seriously, what you lack is the very basic of science, like matter exist in gas, liquid and solid which has nothing to do with evolution, but hey, it's all MAGIC, your God could be magic pixie or unicorn.
      Prove me wrong your God is not a pixie. With your logic, the whole creation could be from a Magical Unicorn farted RAINBOW because like your God, there are no PROOF of that, but it stands on the same merit.

    • @CuongNguyen-le5ic
      @CuongNguyen-le5ic 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Blade, that's your problem, Evolution is a fact that can be observe, germs, bacteria and short terms species can be shown.
      However, like most religious people, you chose to ignore that. Not to mention Jesus didn't repent for yourself, sacrificed need to give up something, what did Jesus lose?
      If a powerful being tell people to die once and become the 2nd most powerful being in the universe, any intelligent species would do it. So from that logic alone, your Jesus is a lie.

    Sadly, the person fully admitted that I would go to hell in the event of a sudden death, and that the God who would send me there was perfect, just, and wonderful. I asked him how we could be friends if he felt that way. I never got an answer, and the friendship pretty much died at that moment, at least in my eyes.

Force ideaology or confession. Crime prevention but that only works if people see it happening and want to avoid similar fate. Lastly is just sadism. If you torture then kill them or torture forever then it served no point.

    mark is a canadian and as one myself, i am feeling that he knows the answer but his decency and manners that alot of us canadians have, is stopping him from coming right out and condemning matt. However a lot of Canadians realize this and use that time to think about why it is that the conversation would need to go this way anyway which leads a lot to become Atheist, as they actually take the time to consider the possibilities to ensure confidence in stating such a harsh social assertion against a fellow person. *NOTE: however this is not everybody of course, but from my experience its the social construct to which i had analyzed and concluded.

Not all Canadians are the same, just as not all Americans, Brazilians, Chinese, etc are the same. And that many people from many countries are decent and have good manners.
      The caller obviously suffers from fallacious logic and intellectual dishonesty, and your comment appears to offer a defense to this by means of your patriotic assertion that since the caller is a fellow Canadian, that he must be decent and have good manners by not condemning Matt outright.
