WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access 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.

The first caller, Luis, brings up an interesting point. I can't tell you the number of times that I've told someone that "I'm not religious" or "I don't believe in any gods" and they act sad or say something like "That's unfortunate" but they still treat me like a normal person, but sometime later I use the word "Atheist" and I suddenly become an outcast even though that word means "I don't believe in any gods" which I've already told them!
That solipsis crap was a total waste of time. He didnt demonstrate anything or reach a valid conclusion. Matt just dismissed him. Good.
Johanan, it the poster boy for the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I used to believe that police officers could see through car doors, so they could tell if you were wearing a seatbelt. If you were born with the ability to see through doors, you became a police officer. I was very young.
When I lived in Vegas, there was a guy that drove his jeep into a flood canal. He was pinned underwater for 45 minutes. They took him to UMC, they had just gotten a new machine that slowly warmed his blood. They were able to revive him with no ill effects. The doctors said because the water was ice cold, and the new equipment saved his life.
Sorry for asking a year later, but I’m under the impression that if one was without oxygen for that long the brain would die. I know low temperatures can stave off decomposition, but if this patient wasn’t brain dead, then that’s an astonishing medical feat. If such a thing were consistently achievable, then cryogenics would likely be much more popular.
@@blackhat4206 I've often thought that, if EMS had a method of cooling the brain on scene, that would buy them extra time.
@@jameswest8280 Interesting. Thank you for the response!
@@blackhat4206 I've tried find the article to no avail, but there are similar reports. It's attributed to the mammalian dive response.
@@jameswest8280 Yeah, I’ve heard similar stories, but also had difficulty confirming their validity and an exact time frame for the brain to be cut off from oxygenated blood. I imagine the brain is the most difficult organ to preserve, even at low temperatures, since its functionality is so esoteric. Given that the slightest change to it can have profound impacts on personality, quality of life, and basic reasoning to name a few.
Everytime I hear Johanan I can't help but hear Kermit The Frog 🐸 😂
Sounds more like Dr. Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters.
Johanan works so hard at complicating simple things just so he can prove his bullshit.
~ Thank you, Matt and Tracie, still making good sense six years later. Your continued ability to suffer fools gracefully and with patience is admirable. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I have a vivid memory of sliding around on a frozen lake, behind a four wheeler, at a very young age. Which, due to my location, is extremely unlikely.
TV influence?
If there's a steady paycheck involved, I'll believe whatever you say.
my two favorite host, hot damn. love all the others too, yall are doing gods work. ;) obviously he cant.
May you be touched by his noodley appendage.
@@BenWoods Not sure I wanna be touched by his meatballs though.
The bowling ball thing is true, lol.
The e bay thing...if you tell them 4 to 6 weeks instead of 2 weeks they wont then call after 2 weeks looking for their item instead theyll call after 4 weeks if it hasnt already arrived....
Current physics standard model states that 'particles ' as such do not exist.
Electrons Quarks Muons etc exist only as disturbances in their related fields.
The idea of ' Solid matter ' is for physics undergraduates only.
Do you remember before you were born? Death is probably just like that. Take comfort in this thought if the afterlife makes you uneasy as an atheist. Gr8! Peace ☮💜
Johanen just talks and talks until people agree with him just to make him go away.
Johanan has spent way too much time alone in his basement. He needs to get out more and interact with real people.
He’s got the worst OCD I have ever seen
Theistic reasoning...there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the world....but there's only one star with life on it, just so that the Hebrew war god could pull off a plan to rescue a minority of earth humans from the consequences of his own hatred.
Synethenia (hope I spelt that right), talked about at the beginning of the show, reminded me of a story I heard about a classical composer who had that. He saw colours when he heard musical notes. I wish I could remember the name of the composer, I will try and find it, and comment his name under this comment if I find it. But as a child he thought that the lights went down during a performance, so the audience could better see the colours coming off the orchestra!!
I had that when I was A kid, like elementary-juninor high ish age. It wasnt strong and only worked on more distinct sounds. I forgot most but I do remember truck horns are brown
Alright! Mama and Tratra on together.
What if solipsism is a perfectly rational position 😮😮
The problem with Solipsism is that a way for the religious to wipe the table clean so they can insert they own belief as equal to any other, ignoring the progress of sciences altogether.
When I was a kid I would count cars on my way to school when I would ride on the bus and if there were an even amount of cars I would have a good day and if it was an odd number of cars I would have a bad day.
I used to believe that everytime I blinked, everyone turned into cats...
The ability to stay awake all the time and never become unconscious.
About one third of our time is spent sleeping.
What a waste of time.
God doesn't sleep, so why did he create creatures that need to sleep ?
How did you determine god isn't a napper?
@@SNORKYMEDIA
My god was designed by me.
One feature of the design is that she doesn't sleep.
I try to keep my design up to date as new features become desirable.
They kinda missed the mark with Emily.
At some point in every single johanan call I think to myself.... I just don't care. Like really, even if he could prove his theory, what does that get me? I still have to go to work and pay my bills in his "mind matrix". It just has no real world value. Unless his goal would be to get me to some specific religion or something, which would be a stretch even for Kermitpak Chopra. And just think of how long it would take him to get there considering how long he takes just to preamble... Uhhhgggg...makes me shudder to think about it.
The "after dark" thing is not necessarily social or learned. The brain works differently in the evening, probably partially due to decreased serotonin level. As an owner of anxiety disorder I can tell that the thing gets really nasty late in the evening, I'm startled more easily, and more prone to suggestion. I think it's not a stretch to say that a less pathological version of what I experience may effectively be a darkness-induced horrorphobia.
Horrendous audio what a shame
I used to believe that one day I'd eventually see Jeff Dee sprout bat wings, horns and reach through the screen and grab a theist who threatened Him with hell and bite the fucker's head off LIVE. lol
I thought I could send a death ray from my eyes by squinting..LOL...REALLY DID THOUGH.
Matrix: Reloaded, Enter the Kermit
😂😂
I wish people would quit breaking themselves up into smaller groups and demographics based on skin color or ethnic background. When we divide our ourselves we become smaller. United as one we are more difficult to defeat. Being broken up into small groups is a way of ensuring no one has a strong enough vote to get anything done. I would rather see humanist non-believer rather than black non-believer or Latin on believer or whatever else non-believer
Mr Drone
Sounds like you’ve broken off into a smaller group by describing what you’d rather.
@@larjkok1184 apparently you didn't read the post properly. How is a humanist a smaller group than a black or Latino. All Humans would be humanists there for a bigger group than a skin color group
@@mrdrone4253 We're getting there, slowly, but surely. The dinosaurs are dying out.
They didn't break themselves into groups. Men did centuries ago and their descendants continued the trend because it benefited them.
@@MrRat-ho6jo TL:DR
Jonanon is hard to listen to
I’ve got a “16” in a red circle, bottom right. I’m sure I’ve never seen that before and I’ve seen this episode already sometime, probably last year in 2020.
Anyone else see it or know anything about it?
I see it, but have no idea what it's about. Maybe you saw this clip before, but it was uploaded by someone else. That circle doesn't look like something that could have been added after the fact.
@@YY4Me133 I know, that’s what had me so puzzled. Most likely explanation I guess is I saw it before but had absolutely no memory of it when I saw it the second time, as if I’d never seen it before.
Either that or it was somehow added after the fact. I didn’t watch it on another channel because I thumbs up videos to remind myself months or years later whether or not I’ve watched the video before.
@@davadoff
Maybe the first time you played this video, your attention was elsewhere. I sometimes do things while listening to a video, so I don't actually watch it.
Ppl being scared of scary movies in the dark has nothing to do with religiousity/magical thinking. I’m atheist, don’t believe in anything supernatural, and yet I find scary movies scary as fuck. Being scared plays on the non rational part of the brain. You can’t think you’re way into not being scared. It can help, but being scared isn’t a rational thing. I rationally know it’s just a movie and I’m totally safe, but scary movies play on your emotions and create a creepy vibe to the emotional part of the brain.
We love Tracy but seriously, her topics are almost as long as Don's. But save the 20 minute readings of crazy super powers. It was funny until it about the third person. But it lost its funny quick.
@Bryan Badass Dass The superpower I want is clear eyelids so I can watch TV in my sleep.
Word salad🙄
10:17 UMMMM WHAT?! ARE WE JUST GOING TO ACT LIKE THAT IS A NORMAL SOUND TO COME OUT OF THE MOUTH HOLE?!
It seemed like just a cough to me. Lol
I hate when Tracie has topics. She always finds something she thinks is funny and spends half the show reading them. It's funny after the first 2 or 3 but after that it becomes insanely boring. Especially since she reads to herself in between with dead air.
WE GET IT. People think weird stuff. Seriously after 4 is anyone sitting on the edge of your seat holding your breath because person 20 dreams they do laundry?
bob obo just skip it.
There is no such thing as religion.
tedgrant2
Yeah, or people.
@@larjkok1184
Certainly, people exist. You can go meet people very easily.
You cannot meet religion, nor can you see it, touch it or detect it with instruments.
Therefore it doesn't exist, except in our imaginations.
@@GodForHire
Democracy doesn't exist. Numbers don't exist. Chess moves don't exist. Software doesn't exist.
It all depends on what you mean by "exist".
@@tedgrant2 Oh fuck, I don't exist, I'm a figment of my imagination.
What happened to tedgrant1
This is a wonderful Tracie needs to read stupid things she thinks is funny episode. Every once in a while Tracie brings in boring stuff that only she thinks is funny. Torturing us while she reads things no one cares about. Seriously, the whole show is on hold while she reads to herself until she finds something unfunny.
Tracie...... ITS NOT FUNNY. Maybe telling us one thing would be ok. She doing her old lady routine.showing how old people aren't funny
