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.

“I agree with all your criticisms of my beliefs ... and reject them.”
I am so grateful to have been raised by intelligent, thoughtful parents.
SERIOUSLY! I got so lucky. Great parents
If the god of the bible had been portrayed as a king instead of a God , he would be remembered as the most evil, mass murdering, tyrannical dictator of all time! Christians give the bible god a free pass because, they say, he is god the creator. I don't see the difference whether man or god. If his actions were evil or immoral, as the bible states, then he'd be just as guilty of being evil as any human committing the same deeds.
Great point.
The audio for the callers is amazing
Wow! Derek sounded like a real smart kid and seemed to have manners too! Imagine that.Too bad his dad isn't as smart.
Yes smartness sometimes skips a generation (his dads)
Yes, smarter than me at 15 years. It took me until I was 40 to figure out religions were all myths.

~ Four years later (2019) & still...bravo to this video. We clearly see how theocracy works in the Middle East, and I still choose democracy. Religion and discussions about religion are still not incongruous to the subject of politics. Keep up the modern times' enlightenment TAE! Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
I love the question, "if you don't believe in god, what do you believe in?"
My answer: reality.
Listening again in May 2021 and after over a year of online shows, I’m amazed at the clear sound quality of these pre-pandemic shows! Had actually forgotten that the shows didn’t always sound echoey with sporadic sound quality!
I was literally feeling disgusted listening to john... The books true because the book says it's true 🤮
Circular reasoning at its finest!
John has failed to convince himself. Again
I love that CZcams decided to advertise a Christian university using a children's song about Jesus on the Atheist Experience. By "love" I mean WTAF.
Prophecy: a shopping list is a prophecy. I write 'milk" on the list, which magically appears in my fridge for my son. We prophesize constantly about so many things, it's not a magical thing (although it is to my dog and my cat). To find Uranus seemed like the ultimate prophecy with somebody mathematically using numbers/formulas to point a telescope to the right place and time to see it... magic to most of us, but definitely by a smart human being. Just because somebody wrote a list of steps to take and then arrived at a conclusion is not a supernatural prophecy. If you think Jesus fulfilled any prophecy, he like any other man read what he was supposed to do and figured out how and when to do it. Gr8! Peace ☮💜
wow, i know few Ph Ds or MDs as intelligent, eloquent, reasonable and logical as Derek ( a 10th grader) while London John comes off as his bizzaro world opposite
"bizzaro world", haven't heard that in ages.

Aw Derrick sounds like a nice kid.
John, if everything is designed, what exactly do you compare things to to show a difference between what is designed and what is not designed? If nothing exists that was not designed, then you cannot even make the comparison, and saying everything is designed is meaningless.
It would be exactly analogous to you saying "everything is made of pudding" and i say "no, this chair is made of wood" and you reply that "wood is made of pudding"...we cannot even have a meaningful discussion at that point.
how many times have we heard "well it's not just one thing that's convinced me, it's all the propheses/experiences/... taken together that prove it"??
John is always entertaining..
I wonder what makes him tick.
Hes certainly a "one off"..
And is proof himself of the lack of "intelligent" design.
It would be so easy to scam people like John, if I had the will to do it. These tv preachers have it so easy.
I have a million dollars I want to give to John, all he has to do is PM me his account and routing numbers.
John somehow combines some ability to articulate his belief system with a combination of gullibility and amazingly garbled thinking. Having now fallen in love with a view of prophecy, he has cut himself off from any kind of skeptical, non-gullible view of reality. I pity him.
I really want to know how things turned out for the 15 year old kid now!
If god is real why didnt he write the bible instead of some random middle eastern folk from thousands of years ago and why doesnt he write one now and make it magically appear in everyones house...
I imagine it like a vr game, simulation possibilities, he could literally just put that knowledge in our heads and every time we flick our wrist we bring him up like Alexa, like yup I'm still here, any questions?
@@patar3323 yes if hes the all powerful being they say he is then why not...
@@davegonnaway6007 the nonsense reply every time is that it would violate free will, like no, it only violates our knowledge to add knowledge of a god, even if he stopped us from doing something, like how we can't currently fly, it's not free will it's violating, I can still want to fly, not being able to doesn't impede my will at all. One of those silly talking points, to bring up free will
@@patar3323 yes theyve got lots of nonsense excuses they use just to try and get us to agree with their unproven beliefs..
Exactly. Instead he trusted his word to 12 illiterate guys who witnessed Jesus’ acts and words, none of whom bothered to figure out a way to record the supposed greatest story ever told. Then god put his precious word in the hands of more illiterate men who told stories for 30-50 years (the telephone game). After that god let anonymous writers write the Bible, then years later have more anonymous writers rewrite the Bible and then had more anonymous men to rewrite and edit it again.
The Bible says god promised to protect his word but that was a lie. How can anyone say he protected his word when he put his word in the hands on primitive, illiterate men?
So we have a young male Atheist who was logical, smart , a critical thinker and logical, then we had believer John and what he has, such extremes one after another but its not fair to assume causation loooooooooollllllllll WTF humans put the bong and Holy book down
John from London sounds like David Beckham
A less educated David Beckham at that.
Damn you!!! I can't unheard it now!!!
@@jameslaverick2150 phew that is rock bottom then
The Binding of Isaac is one of my favorite games. :P
"He is not allowed to read any non-fiction so he is read the bible"
Read the Bible but not other fiction.
They dont realise that there are NO unaccounted for,
left unfilled, points,
where a god could "touch" something to push it do something.
In the olden days, they did NOT have the modern tech etc,
to know any better.
🤔🌏☮️
Did matt say bollocks?!
Never mind the bollocks.
Here come the Saxby Stalls!
probably due to John being British
John is proof of unintelligent design.
Im going to make a prediction that a favourite at the horse racing today in england is going to win....
Amazing! Thought about a psychic hotline business?
@@MovieMakingMan I knew you were going to say that 😁
@@davegonnaway6007 LOL, as only a true psychic could have foretold 😂
John: London, England:
The universe is a complexity creator and conservation thing. Since the "Big Bang" complexity has been moving from one dimension to the next. It all started with a soup of "stuff" which coalesced in simple elements, which then coalesced into heaver elements and built stars, which then (because of gravity I understand) coalesced into heavier elements and these coalesced into star stuff and there were some explosions of stars sending the new complexity into the simplicity of space. The processes continues (after maybe billions of years) on earth, some elements coalesced into very simple life. Life on earth went from single cell to multi cell creation of new attributes (eyes, ears touch and the like) which then some grouped together to create functioning, complex organisms which then evolved out of the ocean to land. Now we fly people across the skys and into space. Boy if that isn't a process that moves from simple to complex. The universe is creating (due to it's attributes) complexity that moves from one dimension to another as a part of the result of becoming in the first place. Maybe that's the reason for life, the universe created it. This is in part, is based on some of the ideas of Terrance McKenna that made sense to me after looking into it.
@topcat2069: kudos, nicely put. The history of our universe as we understand it in 2022. That's as succinct as one can put it - pure irreducible simplicity.
Wow John has called a couple times and gets pathetically embarrassed for his horrible arguments and pathetic positions every time and he doesn't even realize it. Sad
John from London is wacked out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John is too slow even for this show... I need to play some chess to reset my brain after this.
Funny how they "have watched the show many times" and within 5 seconds ask a stupid question that has been ANSWERED MANY TIMES!?! Since I expect lies from theists, I guess it shouldn't surprise me... 🙄
Atheist callers make the show dull.
Agree 100%
This show, like good movies need an antagonist to stir things up. (Like John from England). I too find myself stirring up conversations by playing the devil's advocate occasionally. It causes one to think.
Not allowed to read nonfiction, but allowed to read the Bible? At least they admit the Bible is fiction.
Derek , Kick'um in the ass ! ! ! !
I predict I will not go to church again I'm now god.
Go one more time, walk up to the pulpit and declare yourself more moral than the god of the Bible and explain how that god is a serial mass murderer, pro-slavery and a misogynist. I bet no one in the congregation will even know that the Bible itself describes god that way.
I was a Mormon they don't like the angry Father I went because they made me I never payed attention.
Oh dear. The british dude was just too much
I wish I had a mute button that just muted John.
Kitty from Perth sounds hot.
