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.

…oy, gods, this sounds like a conversation I’d have with my 4-year-old niece. 🤣

Yeah, its becoming a bit hard to stomach. I know plenty of believers who are smart, honest people. I married one. But WOW there are some dumb ones out there.
@@festerreloaded2690 none of that is actual reality.
@@festerreloaded2690 Since when has DNA been digital??? What makes it digital? Does it have a digital display? As for NDE’s those are the result of DMT, an oxygen carrying molecule that is released in vast quantities when the brain is under duress. This causes hallucinations, which are then correlated as NDE’s.
@@festerreloaded2690 Actually all your 'evidence' is disproven by science.
Faith is the art of lying to yourself.
Unless, if you have faith in yourself to accomplish some task, but that's a different kind of faith. Faith that is the religious kind or blind faith is exactly that - deluding yourself.
No, that's "blind faith" and not faith that's based on the preponderance of the evidence. Try to learn the difference.
@Jon Clark You're assuming NeverEnding is religious. How do you know that? Just because they responded that way, doesn't make them a theist.
@@neverendingparty1534 your faith needs a seeing eye dog.

I laugh at people like Tyler, but my laughter hides a profound sadness.
Hi, i think i get your point.. when you learn the way most people go by their way.. it makes me sad..
...dude...yes...
same except not sadness as much as pity and disgust
@@shrews12001 You want to listen to the devil's voice. Listen to the 6 voices of annelise michel.
@Light Being provide verifiable and testable evidence that the devil is real, not just any devil or devil like figure but the very devil that you specifically believe in through your very specific religion.
There comes a point when you're just simply embarrassed for these people.
Embarrassed for these people? Says the lost and clueless atheist fool that thinks star dust, moist rocks and mud puddles have the INTELLIGENCE, POWER, PURPOSE AND MEANS to create/design the human being and ALL the co-existent bodily systems (circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, pulmonic, digestive, skeletal, muscular, nervous, body (skin), etc., etc.) intertwined in co-dependent order in the human body :) Atheism is pure idiocy.
The religious cult of atheism is INFAMOUS the world over for having ZERO ANSWERS. That's because atheism RUNS from "reality." I would add that as an atheist, you're bankrupt of RATIONAL/POSSIBLE causes for life, intelligence, consciousness, morality and ALL the co-existent bodily systems (circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, pulmonic, digestive, skeletal, muscular, nervous, body (skin), etc., etc.) intertwined in co-dependent order in the human body.
Atheism has no RATIONAL/POSSIBLE, step by step atheist explanation for reality. That’s because there isn’t one. THINK ABOUT what you’re getting into w/ the cult of atheism. GET OUT NOW. I’ll help you find truth. Atheism has none.
Usually about one minute in.
@@grantm6514 unfortunately that's so true it hurts. I am waiting with baited breath for a single argument that can even elicit a "huh, yeah. Fair enough." Usually I am ready to slam my benith in a car door before they even make their first point.
I refuse to be embarrassed for these people.
Their belief system only sickens me.
How hard is it to say "I don't know." I find the people who can say that far more humble than someone who says that he/she knows where they are going when they die.
Also, thinking you're going to live forever after you die, is the human ego on cosmic steroids. It's so off the end of the spectrum that it's utterly preposterous possessing that kind of mentality.
It very entertaining when they claim to know.
Drago Worlfaven.. so, you are agnostic, not atheist? Or do you 'know' God doesn't exist?
@@wwlib5390 Atheists don't believe there are gods, agnostic means that we can't know whether there is a god or not. One is a position of belief, the other is a position of knowledge. Someone can be 'agnostic atheist' as they aren't positions that contradict each other.
@@wwlib5390 So-called agnostics are also Atheists. Atheism is not knowing God doesn't exist. Atheism is just the belief God does not exist. Atheism, and Theism both deal with belief. Gonistism, and Agnosticism both deal with knowledge. An agnostic is just an Atheist that doesn't like the label Atheist. Agnostics and Atheists are both people who do not believe God exists, nobody knows if God really exists, yet most Theists claim they know he does exist.
Its sad that people like Tyler dont realise that their argument is used by many theists in other religions, so if his argument was valid then their arguments would be valid, too, which is impossible becasue they all contradict each other.
No, no, his argument is only wrong when other people use it to justify their false religions. It's totally different and you wouldn't understand! 🤣🤣🤣

Tyler was awarded a gold medal in mental gymnastics. 👏👏👏
Do these people ever stop and listen to themselves and think?
Clearly not.
That one was brutal. This man absolutely thinks his religion has special evidence to set it apart from the rest. He doesn't know of any, but he seems to know it's out there.
Probably because that's what he's been constantly told in his Christian echo chamber.
@@dx1450 Joe Mama, so you are real.
If the caller knows something about God that you don't see, you have done nothing to prove that he does not know what he claims to know. Your error is thinking that knowledge about God should be universal..why do you think that?
The Christian is given internal knowledge called the "fruit of the spirit" , that others should see in their example:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law" - Galatians 5:22-23
According to Tyler's ressoning, Hitler should be revered because of the "immense scope and impact" his actions had on people.
Indeed!
Some people still do revere Hitler. While a very evil man, he wasn't nearly as evil as Jesus.
What makes you think he isnt revered?
Faking a Nerve never said that people don't revere Adolf. They said that the caller's argument would logically lead to the conclusion that one ought to revere Hitler.
This would imply that Faking's position is that the Fuhrer shouldn't be revered while acknowledging that some groups do so anyway.
According to some teachings, did you know that if Hitler was baptized and accepted Jesus ( was saved and born again) just before his death, he could be in heaven right now?
Not knowing everything is what drives science.
N spirituality

*"You do not reason a man out of something he was not reasoned into." Jonathan Swift*

I will never understand people that can't understand or accept the answer, "I don't know."
If someone asks me about the price of something or something else about a product, I'll answer their questions if I know the answer. If I don't, I'll admit it and ask the manager.
Wrong. WE DO KNOW (Romans 1:20). IT'S MUCH WORSE THAN "I DON'T KNOW" for the atheist. It goes all the way to your atheist ideas are IMPOSSIBLE. Sorry, but our God-given common sense tells us that life, intelligence, love, consciousness, morality, finite nature (time/space/matter/energy) and the DNA blueprints of 10 million species of life and their opposite sex, can't come from star dust or a mud puddle that has NONE of these things to give us NOR the means to give them. The only possible cause/source/origin of all these things is our living, intelligent, loving, conscious and moral God that has divine brilliance, power and the means to provide all these things. THUS, the problem for atheism is NOT what we “don't know” but what we DO KNOW. And what we do know is highly incompatible with atheistic naturalism and inexplicable without God's unique and exclusive attributes. But hey, you've been indoctrinated to swallow any atheist platitude to avoid thinking and educating yourself. I simply can and will debunk any atheist idea you have - JUST as I debunked you here. Before we talk about God, I wanted to prove to you that all your atheist ideas are not just WRONG; they are all IMPOSSIBLE. Now you "KNOW" you're atheist cult is less-than-worthless GARBAGE. See how easy it is to debunk your atheist cult?
In my experience growing up, you'd be made fun of and forced to choose arbitrarily if you answered "I don't know" to something. I was never taught about fallacies or burden of proof either so saying "You don't know? Exactly that proves that I'm right" is considered a perfectly reasonable answer.
Like when someone asks you "How many female scientists are there? You can't name any? Exactly there aren't any."
Millions of people consider this thinking to be logical.
Sometimes, people accept something when they were children, because their parents told them. Then keep living their lives with this lie into their adulthood. Meet a partner, get married, have a family, a good job and believe that every positive happening to them is the result of this belief.
They never question anything. They never wonder if their belief is actually founded on reality.
One finds atheism by questioning things and chasing answers until a point of satisfaction. Many people aren't capable of thinking that far.
My parents became parents themselves at age 21. They could barely think logically. They took us to church as soon as we could walk. They had 5 kids by 30, barely made ends meet, always working many jobs. We were raised by the church. By 15, all the kids knew was the bible. Nothing else.
I left religion at 18, because the answers made no sense. All my brothers and sisters are still in it 40+ years later. Because they never took the time to think about the validity of religious claims. Of course my nieces and nephews are all deeply religious as well because of their parents indoctrination. Mine are secular.
@@henrim9348 same story here except my siblings seem to mostly fallen away. We've never had the discussion though
Santa has had a huge impact on how kids behave. I guess that means Santa is real
I have seen him many times, god, never.
I like how they bring up evidence... then present no evidence
What they would present...? All the things they said is common knowledge
You can't present evidence when there is none available.
These callers have next to null critical thinking capabilities. That's why it's called faith. Applause to Kenneth and Matt for trying to lay out a basic skill set of critical thinking.
Exactly. Hebrew 11, 1-3. Talks about faith. My most potent weapon I used against Christians.
If I need to accept something blindly, they it isn't real. If it was real, it would be visible, measurable, observable, ... etc.
What is your proof that. God doesn’t exist
no that's not why its called faith.
@@martinsoukup562 where is the proof that God doesn’t exist?
@@martinsoukup562 Faith: complete trust or confidence in someone or something. That's why it's called faith when you believe something completely without any critical thinking or scientific evidence. Go read some scientific, peer reviewed research Martin; and you won't find 'faith' in any one of those documents. thanks for playing.
Schools *really* need to start to teach people logic and rationality.
Ah what? Logic and rationality! Are schools going to stop trying to preach evolutionary theories???
@@nigelmcculloch3746 No, see evolution is a fact. And that's what they teach. Evolutionary theory isn't a subject until university biology.
@@UnmaskedTuxedo There's a movement called philosophy for kids. That should be a part of all schools.
@@RegebroRepairs so what have they found in their biology studies over the years, How life started from nonliving life ?
@@nigelmcculloch3746 Switching topic from evolution are we, eh? You got too mullered when trying to discuss that I see.
But abiogenesis is indeed an interesting topic, and I'm sure that if you spend just ten seconds on actually searching the word on Google you can learn a lot from the search results.
But I suspect you don't really want to learn, do you?
For me this channel is comedy gold. As Gene Wilder once commented in an interview, the best comedy is delivered sincerely.
It is obvious that this is the first time Tyler has attempted to justify his beliefs.

"At some point in time, everyone on the planet believed that the sun revolved around the earth. Therefore, the sun revolves around the earth." Tyler.
and the bad thing about it, they are starting to believe its doing it again but at 3000 miles up in the sky....
If the crucification affected so many people that witnessed it, why did no one write it down for decades?
Because "god". 😁
Because it’s bullshit
There were no newspapers or telegraphs in those days but the Good News of Jesus Christ spread throughout the Roman World like wildfire . By 65 AD Nero considered Christians a threat to Rome
Seems like a non sequitur. Does something have to be written down before decades occur in order for it to be considered as affecting many people?
1. Do you know earlier writings weren't recorded?
2. Do you know the literacy of the ppl who would bother to write it down?
3. Do you know the culture of the people affected when it comes to oral vs written practices?
You ask a fair question, but it's not like u can reach a solid conclusion based on the lack of an answer. I guess with enough faith you can lol.
@@arcguardian Problem is that we have the attribute of omniscience applied to that god, so before we even begin examining how unreliable word of mouth is, they would know that a few thousand years later we'd have video & means of global communication.
A god chose to do all this funky stuff which *definitely* proves it exists while there was no means of permanently recording it.
Most of the Roman soldiery were literate. According to the myth there were several present. I guess they weren't the (racist af) "chosen people".
None of them wrote anything which has been discovered or seen outside the Vatican archives.
There are no contemporary reports of attributed wide-area events which we would assume would be corroborated such as "darkness falling over the land", as meteorological peculiarities were often noted.
"I don't want my world view destroyed by logic and reason, and thus, lose meaning in my life by the faith that may not be true."
Pretty sad way of looking at life.
They're pretending to know _and_ they don't want to feel any negative emotions that result from being corrected.
They have a seed of misplaced trust due to them thinking they know what they don't know about their "spiritual"/mental experiences.

@@Anonymous-md2qp Anyone who is willing to teach lies to children, deserves to live the rest of their life happy in a padded room.

Well, it’s because when they were children, they were fed this crap all day long, completely discouraged from questioning any of it (because even a child’s logic can destroy such things), and that continued into adulthood, thereby keeping them in an infantile state, essentially.

If Tyler thinks longevity determines what religion is actually true, then christianity is NOT the oldest religion. It's not even the oldest religion in the bible, so why doesn't he follow judaism instead of christianity? Hinduism is the world's oldest religion, so why doesn't he follow that instead? 🤔
That would be too rational and reasonable for Tyler to understand
Geography probably has something to do with it. He was born in Jesus Land 🇺🇸.
I understand that Zoroastrian is the oldest known religion.
How dare you take this to its rational conclusion, sir. How dare you.
Or Hinduism?
Props to Tyler for doing the best damn acrobatics I have ever seen in a conversation 👏 I don't even think Olympic players could do the hoops and hurdles and pretzel twisting he just did
The effort to wean people from religious addiction that you make is truly commendable, loving and dare I say moral. I am a man in my 70's who long ago lost all desire to detox these poor sad people. I raised my children as "godless heathens" who see the "divine" in all things but especially in their fellow beings, they are demonstrably good, loving, kind, moral people who have raised their own children and grandchildren to be the same without aid of a voyeuristic, sadistic invisible being haunting them into submission. Thank you so much for your work I wish you had been around when I was coming up. Tomorrow ;Sept 4; I turn 71,because of my rejection of religion my mother who turned 90 on the 2nd has only spoken to me in dribs and drabs since the age of 18, I am to her spiritually dead, we last talked 8 years ago and neither my children, grandchildren or great grands have ever had a relationship with her and not for want of reaching out but because of her rejection, she after all has her spiritual children in the faith. Sad what nonsense we willingly subject ourselves to. Keep up the good work, try not to burn out. Much love to you.
Scientists are all people of faith as Einstein saw it. They believe that the universe is accessible to the human mind. And physics cannot explain that for the simple reason that you can’t do physics without believing that the universe is intelligible.
The so-called new atheist are so passionate about ridding the world of faith that they appear to be blind to the fact that they themselves are driven by faith.
They believe that their minds can grass truth. They believe in science they believe that God is not great. Then in a classic oxymoron we were told our principles are not a faith or our beliefs are not a belief.
The new AC has offered no ground for the faith they themselves can I do without.
After all if human life has been cobble together by mindless and guided processes why should we trust our cognitive faculties in the validity of any belief that they produce atheism and science included.
If he isn’t missing a solution to Tyranny as the bloodbath of the 20th century shows only two out.
A deeper problem is when an atheist says that God is not great ; that is a moral statement. To say that he’s tyrannical is a moral statement and that must be based on some moral standard. Otherwise You can distinguish evil from it’s opposite but if there is no eternal base for values external to humanity. How Can anyone else’s standards be anything but limited human conventions.? Ultimately meaningless products of a blind an unguided evolutionarily process.
Religion is like an addiction. You can’t just ween off of it…it needs to be replaced by something else. It’s why addicts go to meetings, take up exercise, etc. this is why we need to have an investment in science and math in schools. It’s much more interesting than religion.
Very Christian of her, Mat said once “I didn’t end relationships because of my lack of belief, Christian’s did, says it all really, how insidious and sick doctrines can be,

More like 2000+ years and counting. Theists just add more word salad as dressing, while world changes around them.
To be fair the kingdom of God is open to geniuses as well as every day scrubs such as myself. Instead of reflecting on low hanging fruit like it means something, maybe they should have ppl who run Christian channels on. Joe Rogan had the balls to host someone from the Babylon Bee, ya know someone that does it for a living vs someone who is a self professing Christian that hasn't nailed their theology down to a T or possibly never bothered to.
Not sure what's more cringe, the ppl calling in that aren't prepared to make a case for what they believe, or the ppl judging belief itself based on the said callers. The two way cringe is brutal lol.
@Richdragon i was responding to the OP who was seemingly referring to callers not moderators, I could be wrong in that. Who is the "they" you are referring to? I'm sure this isn't all anyone does, which wasn't my point, so I'll boil it down for ya. No one cares how many guppies they "atheists" slay, but based off of the comments you may honestly reach a different conclusion. Ur doubt in Babylon Bee is understandable, I'm merely pointing out they'd be far more formidable, which is what I thought atheists or at least critical thinkers would prefer.
It’s so cool that IKEA let’s Kenneth broadcast from their store.
If the number of people impacted by a religious belief is all it takes to convince Tyler then that means Islam is certainly true.
Ah, it's the MAGNITUDE of the impact that these beliefs have had, that makes these beliefs true! There we go, I'm all in now, Tyler.
Actually, around the time, the Roman gods all were true! Not the Greek ones, they had too few believers and their believers had less power! /s
Pretty hard to defend an education system while listening to people like Tyler. The term "Thick as a Brick" comes to mind.
Madness
I don't know that I'd put it on the educational system. For some reason people apply bad reasoning around religion that they'd never use or accept for any other issue they face.
The ongoing failure to fund and promote science education has resulted in a generation, well a few now, that are largely incapable of critical thinking, seem unable being objective and certainly do not understand the scientific method. Coupled with this, is a growing narcissism in the younger generations, which means they feel entitled to view the world in whatever manner best suits them regardless of reality. What’s the answer, education, education, education!

I would add that as an atheist, you're bankrupt of RATIONAL/POSSIBLE causes for life, intelligence, consciousness, morality and ALL the co-existent bodily systems (circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, pulmonic, digestive, skeletal, muscular, nervous, body (skin), etc., etc.) intertwined in co-dependent order in the human body.
Atheism has no RATIONAL/POSSIBLE, step by step atheist explanation for reality. That’s because there isn’t one. THINK ABOUT what you’re getting into w/ the cult of atheism. GET OUT NOW. I’ll help you find truth. Atheism has none.
Then they will turn around and say that you’re a moral monster because you’re not convinced.
@@Anonymous-md2qp Yeah, or that I don't believe because I want to sin or some other bs.

You've got to wonder how long Tyler laid on the floor weeping after the call finished,?
Okay Neil, THAT was funny.... lol
The most likely explanation for Tyler’s opinion is that he just learned the word “impact” and fell in love with it 😂
All sorts of problems with Tyler’s logic here. He isn’t realizing that it’s literally just as likely Christianity is the second most followed religion in the world is because the king of the Roman Empire decided he liked it for his own personal reasons, hundreds of years after “Jesus” lived and that the New Testament is as possibly fictitious as true?
No?
God wants to have a relationship in which I worship him, praise him and ask for things he is already aware of.
At the same time he wants to remain invisible and unknowable.
It appears that God can't make up his mind what he wants.
“Never argue with an idiot…” You know the rest.
Tyler: "No one can ever know something one hundred per cent..."
Jan: Are you absolutely sure of that?
So basically he is saying that we should that because we don't have evidence for God,vampires,witches,etc.we should believe in them anyway?😕😂
That's what faith is all about otherwise it would be a plain knowledge:) There's absolutely no evidence for anything like that yet bilions of people around the World still claim they know "the truth". It's a specific mindset that hardly changes throught the lifetime...
The witch thing bugs me cus it feels like we gloss over the horrors of the salem witch trials wen it shld rele show WE CNT JST LISTEN TO PPL W.OUT EVIDENCE!
There is a reason why they never give the one strongest evidence. They have only ever believed there where lots because apologists said so.
Ahh yes God is true because he's popular.
It's almost like that should be a fallacy.
I think it already is. The ad populum I think it is. 🤔
@@Acteaon hmm whoda thunk it....

Tyler is out standing in his field.
Is the field 'showing how brainwash affects the ability to reason - a human study'?
@@freddan6fly no, it's just a random field somewhere in the countryside that he is standing in.
Field of sheep.
Excellent call.
Good nuggets sprinkled throughout...which has been fewer and farther between with AXP clips.
This was a refreshing video...and included things that that made me a fan a decade ago.
Wish there were more vids like this, more consistently now a days.
Tyler: “We’re trying to all make sense of why there’s matter in the universe.”
Wrong. Theists believe they’ve already made sense of everything. They’re wrong.😈
I LOVE when these people call in with a 'belief' but once you pin them down and ask specific questions, their 'logic' falls apart.
“You don’t know everything, so anything I say could be real even though I admit I can’t demonstrate it, and it takes faith to question what I say….”
Do guys like this ever allow that for anyone else’s religion, or faith? Does he think k that since we “don’t know everything” it takes faith to accept that 1+1=2.
Can you prove 1+1=2?
@@mindlander if we agree on the definitions of 1, +, 2, and = then easily. If not, I can refer you to Bertrand Russel's Principia Mathematica where he proves exactly that using Set Theory instead of numbers.
@@mindlander In binary 1+1=10 😂

Matt is so unreasonable. He wants reality-based evidence for a god. How is a theist supposed to meet those unrealistically high standards?
For the record, I was being sarcastic. A lot of people seem not to have picked that up. Just shows how nutty theists are, that we can't tell the difference. That's Poe's Law.
😂👍
...sounds like your problem boring troll...
Because most theists claim their god acts upon and/or interacts with reality. That is, this god effects reality in a knowable way. What’s unreasonable about asking for evidence of these interactions?
@@mabatch3769 , Poe's Law strikes again.
@@wunnell I missed the sarcasm. You got me. I should have caught it. Guess I shouldn’t try to make comments when I just wake up.

If the impact it has on people's lives makes a religion true, then Odin teaches us that you can not accomplish something without sacrifices, that in order to acquire knowledge, you most give up on something.

Tyler is being trapped so badddd!!! Matt and Kenneth are sooo great together.
12:45 Hahaha, he just keeps saying the same thing even though he's been explained why such a basic thing is flawed.

Scientology, while relatively new, has made a HUGE impact on people's lives.
I wonder how this guy feels about Xenu.
There are a number of non-western religions that have had massive historical and current day impact on people. Theists, in general, are geographically/culturally biased. Pretty much all of Tyler's presuppositions are based on his culture and geography but he will NEVER acknowledge that.
Scientology hasn’t even existed for very long. I think it came about in 1950. Mormonism came about in 1830. Both religions collected millions of followers.
In the case of christianity, it sounds like their numbers were very low from 1 CE to 300 CE.
It is in 301 CE that Armenia’s king accepted this has the state religion for some reason. A little later, the Byzantine empire with Constantine and his mother pushed this religion to be the empire’s religion. The goal was to bring back the Roman empire or something similar to it.
2000 years ago we had hundreds of gods... now we’re down to one ... Christopher Hitchens
And getting closer to the real figure
Matt, when you say you are going to stop and let Kenneth take it from here, you say this a lot but you never stop interrupting your fellow partner.
True. Sometimes I wonder why he bothers having a co-host in the first place.
I heard Kenneth say plenty.
@@paulmartin3946 Matt interrupts every co-host. Matt is very smart but will nominate the response.
The tap dancing thiests do should have them on Broadway.
Matt. Clutch as always. In an umbiased, generic way, he always asks and responds with great rhetoric.
Why not other religions then? Why not others who believe in different Gods then, etc? Believers can only do that, believe for the sake of believing. And sprinkle faith in there. Because apparently the loving, true God is playing games and our lives depend on it. Just have faith.
Reality just called. Tyler hasn't shown up yet.
No matter what question is raised, he keeps going back to the same argument as though it hasn't already been thoroughly countered.
Not only is this abjectly frustrating, but I get the feeling that if he wasn't pressed on his vague assertions, he wouldn't elaborate any further than that. If the justification for his beliefs rests on that, then I don't think it's unfair to suggest that he hasn't really thought about his beliefs as adequately as he presumes.
Ken & Matt together are pure spring water!
This caller doesn't know what the word evidence means.
Those types of callers like to pretend that they do. 😂

They think everyone else has been lied to in their religion but theirs is the one true religion.
why does he mention the head of the Islamic church. There is no head of the Islamic church. just like there is no head of the Christian church or the Jewish Church for that mater.
I don't know therefore I know and it's God. Don't ask me how I know that because I don't know.
Sums up the caller pretty accurate.
"Tyler-MD | You Don't Know Everything So Faith Is Good"
So Tyler thinks faith that Zeus exists is good.
Faith is you're waiting something to happen that you can't do on your own. And it waste of time.
Actions speak louder.
Cinder blocks are meant for building foundations, not for debates.
Haha 😂
Tyler is incapable of processing a very simple concept.
“All the evidence, is the evidence.”
It's funny how they try and use the evidence based paradigm we now live in to explain their faith. It's such a powerful tool that they constantly try and co-opt it for their beliefs. They 'know' that simply having belief in something isn't a very powerful argument.
For 1500 years islam has also made a huge impact on their believers, therefore the prophet Muhammad flew up to the heavens on a Pegasus, just like the Quran says

I think religious people have been religious for so long that it is impossible for them to let it go when faced with someone like Matt. Giving up their religious beliefs means giving up their looking forward to Heaven, paradise, rewards, and the comfort of death.

Lots of kids have behaved themselves because they think santa claus won't give them a present at christmas if they're bad which has had an impact on many children's behavior over a long period of time but that doesn't make santa claus real
At least St Nicholas was a real person and he anonymously on three occasions gift of a bag of gold to an indigent father of three girls as dowry so they can marry.
Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christmas. It was originally celebrated on the 6th of Decmber until it was moved to Christmas day. There is no given time when it was moved.
Wait a minute, are you telling me Santa isn't real!!?😦😁
@@naasduplessis855 no he's very real just look at the impact he's had on people's lives
Faith and believing something because its "feels" true really impacts the ability of the person to have a discussion. Because they can say something is true just because it is. No proof. The proof is their belief.
Like a stalker believing someone loves them and they should be together.
I know with absolute Certainty that I’m going die.
When Christians talk about the impact of the resurrection they don't seem to realise that even if it did happen it is extremely difficult to separate that from the impact of simply believing it
"The evidence the atheists require"
the we call it 'evidence' - to convince someone who doesn't believe your opinion you don't need any special 'evidence others require', it's just evidence
The magnitude and 2000 years of belief? Oh so popularolity contest winner therefore Jesus is a god or his god is existing.
Ok skippy
"Call back whenever you have reality based evidence...."
Taylor will call back when the proverbial cows come home.
We can not bring the “ Why “ into this equation , bcz we can never know why , and all we can think of are nonsense and fantasy instead .
Just bcz we can’t know or don’t know why it doesn’t mean = God .
It seems like he understands religious faith in the same way that everyone has faith that the oncoming driver won't hit you head on. They're not the same thing at all. One's a reasonable expectation based on experience while the other is an unreasonable expectation based on imagination.
Yeah, it's called reasonable faith vs blind faith.
