    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.

This is so silly its like if you were building a machine but knew that it wouldn't actually work so you talk shit about every machine based on the first machine failure that was already determined to happen before you created it. Its like getting angry at a poorly programmed calculator and punishing every future calculator based on your failed programming skills.

      @SeraphinaAizen1 5 лет назад +85

      Because they know that answering honestly would force them to admit to the problems with their arguments and positions.
      Religious apologetics aren't about finding the truth of the matter or putting forward good supporting arguments. They're a smokescreen thrown up as a shield to defend what the theist already believes as a baseless presuppositions, and they KNOW that. And they don't want to be forced to admit that they don't have any good reason to believe what they believe and that all their arguments are just slight-of-hand and dishonest attempts to pretend they have a reason.
      What matters to them isn't the argument, it's the conclusion; they've already determined their conclusion is right, and are working their way backwards to try and invent an argument that seems to prop up that conclusion. Which is why they don't care about arguing honestly because the argument is just window dressing so that they can defend the argument and not have to defend a conclusion that they know they CAN'T defend.
      An apologist will never admit to a flaw in their argument, because their entire presentation is designed to cover up the flaws that they know are there and want to steer the conversation away from. Which is why the moment you start getting them off script and steering the conversation towards one of those flaws, they will shut down, start yammering, and attempt to obfuscate. Because obfuscating is literally all they're doing anyway.

    A religious worldview has much LESS explanatory power. Saying that God did something does not explain HOW he did it. It just replaces an explanation with an excuse. Once you understand how something works you no longer rely on supernatural excuses. If you always rely on supernatural excuses you will never understand how things work.

      Exactly! and the more you look into their claim, the more you realize that he never even existed at all. Because no one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Jesus, no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Jesus derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Roman record that shows Pontius Pilate executing a man named Jesus. Devastating to historians, there occurs not one single contemporary writing that mentions Jesus. All documents about Jesus came well after the life of the alleged Jesus from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Jesus, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings.

    • @mabatch3769

      kellel,
      I have no idea how I’d go about proving immortality, however, if I live to be 1000 years old instead of 80 or so then the likelihood that I might be immortal has increased somewhat. My justification for believing that I am mortal is simple, I’ve never seen a living organism survive past it’s death. Until that happens I have no reason to postulate that a living being can even be immortal.

    Crucifixion was a popular method of execution during the Roman civilization. Julius Caesar (at age 25) had put to death an entire island of pirates - all by crucifixion. The failed slave uprising lead by Spartacus ended with all his captured followers crucified on the Appian Way, between Rome and Capua. By historical accounts it was 6,000 crucifixions - over 50 years before the purported time of Jesus. So yes, there was a huge amount of understanding of how people died when crucified.

    I'd say that religions have greater explanatory power than science, but having more explanations and having _accurate_ explanations are two entirely different things.
    Science has less explanations for how and why the universe is the way it is because it takes the time to research and observe before coming to a conclusion that explains something.
    Religion has way more explanations because they aren't concerned with being accurate and can always employ the "Magic!" McGuffin to explain anything.
    Religion can give you unlimited answers; science can give you the right ones.

    • @PaddySnuffles
      @PaddySnuffles 5 лет назад +1

      @Lady Skeptic I said they have more explanations, not that they were _accurate_ wxplanations. Like I said in my OP, religion has more explanations in the sense of how many things it claims to explain, (because explaining things is easy if you're just making shit up).
      Science has limited answers because it's honest about only answering that which it has evidence to back up.
      It's like comparing googling an answer (religion) vs asking a librarian for help (science); as Neil Gaiman put it, "Google can give you a million answers, but a librarian can give you the right one."

    For every account of an alleged miracle connected with the crucifixion and resurrection, you have to ask "Which is more likely: (1) that a genuine miracle occurred and was accurately recorded, or (2) that whoever wrote the account wanted people to believe a genuine miracle had occurred, and altered the account accordingly?" (hint: the second option is always more likely, given that we know people make shit up all the time, and no suspension of the laws of physics is required)
    The caller thinks that in the case of the blood and water, this can't have been just made up by the writer, since the writer could not possibly know about this phenomenon. Yet the caller is forced to admit that the same phenomenon must have been observed in other cases at the time of writing, since Jesus was far from the only person ever crucified. Having admitted this earlier, he then recants in desperation, reverting to the position that "they didn't know about it at that time". No wonder Matt was triggered a the end there.
