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.

As a black man it breaks my heart that black people sacrifice their humanity for their religion. It is really sick and I am perplexed by this thinking. Thanks to Matt for calling this out.
WHY WOULD ANY BLACK PERSON WORSHIP THE GOD THAT JUSTIFIED THE SLAVERY OF THEIR ANCESTORS??? SO DUMB
Me too 😢

"My father was a pastor"
Mystery solved.
I did a double take there, thought he said "My father was a bastard"
@@MrGrifft Me too !
@@MrGrifft If you consider the stories that have come out about the clergy over the last 50 years or more statistically that is possible as well as being charlatans, fraudsters, adulterors and child abusers both physically and sexually and we know psychologically. And if recent stories from Ireland and Canada tell us anything they seem to have a cavalier regard to disposing of dead children in their care. Yet daily they are rolled out by the media to give their opinion on anything and everything.
@@billgreen576 Calm down.
@@MrGrifft I bring up the subject of religious orphanages and related organisations covering up the deaths of children and disposing of their bodies without reporting those deaths to the authorities and you suggest I calm down. I am very calm when I suggest people consider the things that the clergy are capable of. If you don't find this information horrendous my not being calm will not add anything to the matter. May I suggest you consider that and think of a more appropriate and a less religious apologist reply.
Just come out and say it - you believe in God because your parents told you so. It's as simple as that. The sooner you admit to your blind faith the sooner you can begin looking for the truth.
@Jim Jones Faith without proof is still blind faith....
@Jim Jones And you also don't know what reason and logic are. But you go, Jim Jones. You go.
@Jim Jones If your faith wasn't blind you wouldn't be defending it by using fallacies and falsehoods. How can something be true when it can only be justified by lies?
@Jim Jones Faith is believing in something with no reason such as something logical like proof or concrete evidence. Thus “faith” is unreasonable and illogical. That means faith is blind. The insinuation is that if it is blind then it is without merit.
@Jim Jones don't need faith with evidence.
Narock is no anomaly, there are billions just like him.
So damn unoriginal with no idea of why he has faith in anything.
It's weird that, when Dillahunty leads the caller to logical conclusion that only two options are possible, A slavery is OK if God allows it, B God is evil for allowing slavery, callers always choose option A. They would rather be pro slavery, then admit there is no good God. And this guy is from Barbados, where slavery was very much an issue.
He is probably named Narock because his head is hard like a rock and the truths cannot easily penetrate...
no church has billionS, they have a billion each.
@@DaviniaHill really? How many Catholics or Muslims do you think their are? The Catholic Church refers to the entire faith. Not just each individual building. There are billions of Catholics
God: I love you.
Also God: Love me back unconditionally or I'll punish you for eternity.
God killed my dog and gave my wife cancer because he loves me!
Narock just wanted to call in and preach. Kudos to Matt and Seth for making this an actual discussion and not letting it derail into "I believe this and so should you" kinda thing.
thank you for not whining on matt atitude its getting annoying and was rarely waranted. People need to be like you; focusing on substance and context.
Seth's comments after the call are so precise. His analogy of god and the domestic abuser couldn't be more true. Seth, you're awesome.
But he beats/abuses us because he loves us!

@@chad3232132 It's all our fault that we made him so angry.
"I don't like bullies, no matter who they are," Steve Rogers
George Carlin said "We created god in our own image and likeness! Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll to to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity." ..."But he loves you" I like to use this logic arguing with theists. Not a direct quote, but close enough.
@@og4372 Yes he is.
The looooong pauses every time he’s asked WHY he believes something were hard to endure. You can just feel his brain trying to rationalize.
I think deep down he knows what he believes is a load of crap but he won't admit it🤔😂
@@dragowolfraven3806 Let’s hope that’s the case. Then he might reach a point where he’s honest enough to stop believing.
Maybe but he'll probably just double down and go right on believing.
indoctrination from birth is like trapping a baby in the matrix. How can you know whats real when you have been inside the fake every second you have been alive.
@@dragowolfraven3806 I think they all know it’s crap but too invested to even try to challenge it.
For example, if you tell a religious bank manager that god told you to give today’s intake to charity, what do you think the response would be?
My family is West Indian (Haiti) and this question is a huge struggle for our culture. We’re not taught to question why we believe certain things. It’s simply a given that it’s true. No examination is done. This thought process is so inundated that anyone who does start to question is looked at as someone who has something psychologically wrong with them
Same in the US, unfortunately
That's true with all fundamentalism, religious or otherwise.
It's kind of amazing with all of these clips and information on the internet that anyone still believes
When I was little I beleved that only people in poor countrys beleved in some kind of religion. People that lived outside of civilization. Now I understand that USA are poor because you don't help the weak. So because you don't have a good social net you still need god because you can't go to a hospital just like people living outside of civilization. The only thing you have left is to pray to a ghost before you die.
@@Alienshade how would believing in God help the "weak"? It's also kind of crappy to view some people as "weak". Is that the kind of viewpoint faith gives you? You think people are weak?
@Ryan Murray believing in god shows you lack critical thinking skills, and tells others you are fine believing whatever the hell you want to believe without any warrant or justification. Aptly demonstrating the arrogance religious people hold is not nearly as offensive as believing that everyone who doesn't think like you is going to hell for eternity.
@@Dsullivann I don't believe.
@@Ryanthebrobdingnagian fair enough just adding my 2 cents to what you said 👍
This guy has clearly never even considered this question.
he's most likely never had someone actually challenge him on it
Believers don't know how to answer questions because asking is forbidden.
@@tyrionlannister3459 True. This guy never considered the question for this reason; because it would lead to a question, and asking questions is strictly prohibited.
Didn't he say his father is a minister? He's had the book fed to him at every meal and before bedtime! The book says everything which says anything different to the book is the words of fools or the devil, etc. Every life lesson he has had have come from the one book of moralless fables.
Belief does not allow doubt.
Narock is a classic example of someone who was raised in a religion, never taught to question or think about issues of faith, just to believe and those beliefs were reinforced by his family and church. Now faced with a non-believer...he has no idea how to answer these questions, because he's never encountered them before. That's what religion does...puts you in a box of faith and you aren't taught to think for yourself, because that's the beginning of skepticism and the end of faith.
Beautiful said, sad but true.
It's really very sad.
It doesn't help that he had the IQ of a squirrel. Even a religious intelligent person can explain why they believe something (even tho its BS). He didnt even know what the word "why" meant or how to respond to it.
As a fellow of Barbados I can say that every bajan Christian I've talked to has the same mentality. It isn't about justification, it's all an illusory comfort, and so heavily part of our culture. Questioning belief is beyond what is expected, and so does not happen.
I'm a musician and have a good sense of hearing, but I couldn't place his accent; but it sounded like it came from the West Indies. Looking it up up:
I was right. THANKS!
@@Paolo8772 it says he’s from Barbados. I wasn’t aware there was a Barbados outside the West-Indies.
Am from Barbados 🇧🇧 they suffer really bad down there from cognitive dissonance ,religion still have the first slave society enslaved
@@kellydalstok8900 Neither was I; I just didn't know where Barbados was. Ok?
As an atheist, I don't mind people like this. As long as they don't try & push it on others & push legislation. It's just funny when these people don't understand why they believe in their god & call the show thinking they'll convince everyone with just their words.
Dave Allen had the best saying for this "May your God go with you."
Well said. Loved Dave Allen.
You can tell when someone has never been asked how they know the Bible is the word of God. They just freeze.
Perfect summation by Seth there. The man is a god damn word wizard
He really is. Thing is you can put an atheist a high school diploma up against a Christian with a PhD in theology and the high schooler will probably embarrass the theologist in a debate on religion.
@@chad3232132 You could put a toddler against a theist and the toddler would come out ahead. At least toddlers have a reason and excuse for believing in fairytales.
@Jim Jones Tell us more about your argument from ignorance and incredulity delusions and magical sky daddy, this is riveting..
@Jim Jones No one needs to embarrassed you, because you are doing that quite well on your own.
@Jim Jones Jim.... you just embarassed yourself. Nobody even got the chance to attempt...
For all the debunking by Matt , the last couple of minutes by Seth summed up EXACTLY what the issues actually are.
"That's exactly what we're asking of you" Seth has a great voice and cuts right to the point. It's always a treat when he's on the show.
His voice is beautiful
I listen to his podcast on Google podcasts ,he is intelligent and patient.
he sounds like he's never put any thought into his belief
I didn't call to speak about how my understanding fails, I called to preach and you won't let me - SMH
That's definitely not going to be allowed to happen, not on this show.
No no no,...
Narock has a real short memory about Barbadian history. I guess his ancestors just came willingly and cheerfully from Africa.
Some of them did want to escape Africa.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Fullyautomagic not escape, they where explorers that knew boat technology. All others where in slave ships.
@@Fullyautomagic nobody wanted to escape the beauty and abundance of food that Africa provides. The religious Christian set up Missions to spy on Africa. Once they gathered Intel colonialist invaded,raped and pillaged spiritual Africa. Read up on the Berlin conference and the division of Africa.
It's weird that, when Dillahunty leads the caller to logical conclusion that only two options are possible, A slavery is OK if God allows it, B God is evil for allowing slavery, callers always choose option A. They would rather be pro slavery, then admit there is no good God. And this guy is from Barbados, where slavery was very much an issue.
Every time one of these theists get asked the question of why they believe they get dumbstruck with confusion like they've never before even thought about such a concept. I will give Narock this much though: once Seth so beautifully explained to him how to answer the question he gave the honest answer of 'I don't know' after he was forced to think about it.
And he avoided the "thinking" aspect.
Religion doesn't allow thinking or asking questions.
Evvvvveeerrrrry time!
I literally heard Narock's brain crashed after Seth told him "thats exactly what we want you to do" smh.
It's pretty clear that people like this know they have no justification for their belief. If they felt justified then they would just provide that justification. They get flustered because they are used to others simply accepting their belief without justification. When they fall apart when challenged, it's clear that being challenged is not a common thing for them.
That’s why churches exist. To reaffirm the lies to keep you from questioning things, and to take your money.
Echo chambers
You give him too much credit, I don't think he even understands the concept of justification for a belief, when asked "why?" he just keeps repeating himself.
But you don't need justification for personal belief. If you want to convince others, then you need evidence. But the question of why he believes is quite reasonably answered when he says it's because of personal experiences. The caller wasn't claiming that his experiences should be counted by you as reasonable evidence.
Adrian you have to state why you believe personally bc it's as to be faith and that's not reliable reason to believe anything
A painting can not feel, it can not think, it can not act, it exists. To compare people to a picture is insane.
I do not want to be killed, I do not want to be injured, I do not want have my stuff stolen, I do not want people to endanger my health, so as a social unspoken agreement with the rest of humans, I do not do these things unto other. Not because of a reward, not because for fear of punishment, but work together with all people to make the world a better place, and to more our civilization forwards in progress.
These are the "morals" upon which some religious people committ mass murders and feel like they are justified in what they do. Amazing what sense of entitlement a stupid old book can give you.
In “primitive” societies evolution weeds out the individuals who do not possess the ability to function within a tribe. They are excluded and can’t survive on their own. It is only a relatively recent development that narcissism and greed are accepted, and rewarded. 10,000 years ago they would have been ostracized. Or they would have invented a religion and made themself its leader.

The inability to answer questions directly has got to be one of the most frustrating things. 😑
It takes a special kind of skill to not loose one’s temper when a god botherer evades answering a question for the 10th time.
*lose*
Ones’ because you’re talking about everyone who has the skill, not just an individual.
@@fantomphalcon9153 This is not at all how the word “one’s” works
He answered every time. He was asked why he believes. He said he believes because of his personal experiences. That answers the question. The caller did not claim to have demonstrable evidence, he did not claim that his belief should convert others. He was asked a question and he answered it very directly.
@@AdrianLParker No, saying from personal experience is not a satisfactory response as it is indemonstrable.
Seth did a masterful job of maneuvering this guy into a position of needing to acknowledge and answer the question while getting around any language barriers that may have existed. Excellent!!!
I'm so glad Matt is on our side. I'd hate to have to defend myself against him.
It helps when you're right!
I really tried, but can't keep listening. The faith shield is so strong with this one. M: "Why?" C: "I believe..." M: "Why?" C: " I believe..." And repeat. I'm embarrassed to be of same species.
So frustrating to listen to.
And some say we don't share a common ancestor with monkeys 😅
If you didn't watch whole video, you might have missed 13:16-13:56. Please watch that segment, it's embarrassing for caller, more than rest the video.
One can't honestly say Jesus wrote, said or did anything in reality.
There is no evidence he even existed.
"The fool says in his heart, there is no God" (Psalm 14:1). Do not be a fool, God is real and you will face Him on Judgment Day.

@@56pjr The fool says in his heart There is a God, but has no Rational Justification to make this claim, outside of, this is what was force-fed to him as a child by his parents who also believed, because as a child they were force-fed the same bull$h*t.

Opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

Seth was incredible on this call. Love hearing his thoughts!
Instead of listening to the sermons in church, I spent my time reading the book sitting right in front of me. I became an atheist right there in church.
I sat in church every Sunday for 3 years trying to get the spirit, but I couldn't believe the B S spewing from the pastor. It always seemed like nonsense to me and I would disagree constantly with what he was saying
Same I read the whole bible 3 times and lost faith on my third term cause it started coming alive for what it was
If he had studied the scriptures as much as Matt then he wouldn’t call in to the atheist experience to defend the Bible. He would be Matt’s cohost on the program.
Guarantee you this guy hasn't read more than a couple pages of the Bible in any sitting. Maybe not even in sum. The biggest danger to Christianity is people reading most or all of the book. The further in you get the nuttier and more nonsensical it gets. I first read it at 13 and was shocked at how poorly written it was.
Less than a quarter of those who have ever read a Bible have a systematic plan for reading the Christian scriptures each day. And a third of Americans never pick it up on their own, according to a 2017 study from Nashville-based Lifeway Research.
Small wonder many church leaders worry about biblical illiteracy, said Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research.
“Most Americans don’t know first-hand the overall story of the Bible-because they rarely pick it up,” McConnell said. “Even among worship attendees less than half read the Bible daily. The only time most Americans hear from the Bible is when someone else is reading it.”
@@ajclements4627 Hah, even a poll literally done by the Southern Baptist Convention comes out with results that makes their faithful look like sheep. In the same poll, only 40% think the Bible is a book worth reading many times.
@@ajclements4627 Perhaps christians skip the nasty bits, like my mother in law did with her newspaper.
Religious leadership and others who give it that much study cannot engage in this type of investigation without coming to the conclusion that it's bullshit.
The problem is that many in this position dedicate their money and lives to study it and get really deep by the time they come to the realization. Many will then view it as a case where they have little choice, as they proceed to sell the garbage they no longer believe.
Matt took things in a positive, and more honest direction, no doubt.
Totally agreed.
I believe because I believe because I believe
Just say it's faith and shut up
Matt and Seth are soooo great together!
Seth's last point was so poignant. I love Seth! More Seth.
Update on Narrock: The hospital says he is sitting up drinking liquids now. Next week they will try solids. 👍
Narock: "Matt I guarantee, I know the scriptures much better than you do!"
Well... I knew where that was going before he had finished that sentence. :)
They can't think for themselves.
Take away Biblical scripture and they become tongue tied.
You two guys are WWAAYY to Accommodating. Thats why this keeps going. Im so happy to see you together.
I was a born-again Christian for 20 years. I noticed that there were so many others who believe differently from me. I always said that I would follow the best evidence and change my beliefs accordingly. When I realized that prayers are not answered I began asking many family members and clergy to give me an example of their answered prayers. No one has given me an example of answered prayer. I became an atheist on my own, however, I love all of the people online who speak for the atheist viewpoint!
"Wants to talk about God and morality"
Hoo boy, there's an oxymoron from the get go.
Yes indeed.
But a lot of Christian "morality" is nothing but PRUDISM anyway, which I think people are really better off without.
@@linklawson5633 This is why nearly every time mainline Christianity becomes too "libertine" you get protestant schisms. Basically how protestantism started. People saw the Catholic hierarchy moving in a liberal direction, resulting in an ultra conservative backlash. What Martin Luther and John Calvin were to the 1500's, John Smith was to the 1800's and Pat Robertson and the Falwells are today. It's always about dialing the clock back to a more backward, prudish time period.

Admit you need to fit in socially and if you say “I believe,”everything is way easier because you conformed. The entire culture is priming you from birth to go along, rewards you when you do and shuns you if you disagree.
The whole society, at least in the U.S. is set up to make excuses for these nutjobs. Even news channels preface and make excuses for the disgusting beliefs of guests by labeling them "deeply held religious beliefs." I don't care if a person's beliefs are based on the bible or some political tract. If those beliefs make society overall worse off, they should be called out for it.
But none of that is true is it? The entire culture is actually priming you to secularism as is the majority of media and Hollywood. To say otherwise is simply a lie.
@@j.cgallagher7092 in the southern US, the culture ABSOLUTELY revolves around christianity.
Sure, people watch “Hollywood” on TV, but there’s a cross on the wall somewhere, a bible on the coffee table, plans for church Sunday morning, Sunday and Wednesday night, Tuesday youth group, Thursday Bible study group, on and on and on.
If someone asked you what you thought god thinks of what you’re doing, you’re response wouldn’t be to question if there is a god, you would simply consider what god wants. It’s just understood as a fact of life.
@@barkYdarkATFB I guess you just watch Little house on the prairie on a loop.
Conform just like this vaccine and mask nonsense.
Seth is a smart guy.
Matt does know much more about the Bible than the laymen callers on this show. Unlike the vast majority of those callers who more than likely read what their pastors/priests told them to read, Matt actually trained to become an ordained minister and read the Bible front to back many times. This study of the Bible is what brought him to Atheism.
Nice to see the two of you on the same program.
Get ‘em Matt and Seth!!!
14 minutes that Seth and Matt will never get back. Its good to see you two together...I follow you both on YT.
I love listening to Matt and Seth play good cop bad cop
Matt has been doing this for so long that he sees the fallacy coming a lightyear away, and he shuts the caller down long before the viewers had the chance to catch up to what the caller is about to say that is false.
As much as I enjoy Matt going off on people and showing them exactly how wrong they are, Seth has a much better tact and ability to talk with people by re-affirming their beliefs and explaining why their thought process is flawed.
Yes. Matt has an excellent knowledge of the Bible, logic and philosophy. But Seth hasan excellent approach and tact. Two different ways to approach to a caller.

Wow, that caller seriously needs to read his bible himself instead of having someone read it for him.
Anyone who reads the Bible from cover to cover and still wants to be a Christian is not someone I want to spend any amount of time with.
Funny thing not really related. Just read some quotes for my father from the Bible where it promoted slavery, murder, mass killing, human sacrifice and so on. He turned athiest lol. Partly at least. But he was athiest before he became kinda interested in god but just had to keep him at bay. I don't really know why I wanted to say this but there u go. Mby it gives you some inspiration.

How can any sane, decent person call Yahweh an all loving sweetheart and decide to worship him based on that. It's absolute depravity.
This. That's what pulled me away from Christianity. As a kid I always assumed all the huge plot holes in the religion were due to things being told to me incorrectly or being interpreted wrong by adults. Once I read it for myself and realized the stories made even less sense when read literally I never seriously considered myself a Christian again.
Atheism is what happens when you read the Bible.
Theism is what happens when someone reads it to you
Seth deserves his own show. The guy is brilliant.
He does have a podcast that he shares on youtube.
Damn, @ 6:41 Seth starts to pull the carpet away from under his feet, and he just keeps going, and going, and going .... 😂
That was a brutal rip through a believers logic.
If I created an AI that was concious, it would be immoral for me to mistreat it whether or not it was my property. It would also be immoral for me to sanction its mistreatment by others of its kind.
Thats a good question.
People build robots to destroy other robots, but what if the robots decided they werent going to attack other robots anymore?
Maybe it would be ok till the Ai told us not to, or at least showed they have a conscious?
Maybe they would have to be destroyed before they build the matrix?
I know ,
I understand,
But a lot of Christian "morality" is nothing but PRUDISM anyway, which I think people are really better off without.
Then stop eating chicken.
As a computer programmer I do not agree with what you say. I do not agree that it would be immoral.
This is an extreme test of anyone’s patience!
Can a painter toss his paintings in a fire?
Yes. Precisely as long as he doesn‘t create paintings that are conscious. That’s where it becomes a totally different story.

Everything they basically said to Narock went right over his head. Whenever he got silent I could almost see the sparks leaping out the top of his head and coming through my iPad.🤯
As an outspoken atheist; I've always felt exposing any child to religion under the age of 18 is akin to mental and emotional child abuse.
What must it be like to be so transfixed upon myths, fables, fears and didactic, authoritarian threats such as Narock's brain has succumbed to?
Seth seems very amused 🤣🤣. OMG!! Seth is amazing at clarifying and spelling it out for you to the most basic understanding.

@God's Servant "preach and claim" that should be your motto.
Thing about religious beliefs is that their believers often do not know why they believe. They do not know how to go about determining the reason why they believe. They've held it since they were born. They haven't stopped to deeply consider it. They just think... I've known this since I was born, so it must be true.
Google image ancient Babylon and see what it looks like today. These people have made a show denying God existence ' they are on a happy quest and don't even like God. But he is real.
Isaiah 13:19-22
New International Version
19 Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms,
the pride and glory of the Babylonians,[a]
will be overthrown by God
like Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 She will never be inhabited
or lived in through all generations;
there no nomads will pitch their tents,
there no shepherds will rest their flocks.
21 But desert creatureswill lie there,
jackals will fill her houses;
there the owls will dwell,
and there the wild goats will leap about.
22 Hyenas will inhabit her strongholds,
jackals her luxurious palaces.
Her time is at hand,
and her days will not be prolonged.
Nobody cares how you were raised, nobody cares what stories you have to tell, we care if you can provide some form of objective evidence that the claims that you are making is actually true. The religious think that they just get to make claims and pretend that makes it true. They can see it when speaking of other religions but the second it comes to their own, the lights go out.
Yeah true. But I think we should care a lot more on how he/children are raised. Because if we are told from a young age that religion is true and be good or you will go to hell it will stick with most of us forever just like not touching fire is ingrained in our brands. Basically religion is manipulating young children and it should be criminal. If we were to let our children grow to let's say teenage years and then tell them about religion I think the numbers would be very very different.
Many of the religious also seem to equate their claims about god as evidence. You ask "what evidence do you have" and they'll usually say "the bible says this or that, I had a personal experience" etc.
Its difficult for many of them to understand that evidence and claims are not the same thing.
True
@@kerryn6714 I’d say most of the religious, not just many lol
Especially here on YT.
@@kerryn6714 And if you press them on why WE have never had any experience to indicate God or Jesus exists, they have built in excuses. It's because we haven't "opened our hearts" or "accepted Jesus" in order to receive the proof we need. We're supposed to accept on faith a bunch of BS in order to receive some sort of proof that only we would be able to experience.
Jesus - assuming he existed - even with all his supposedly divine knowledge didn't even know how to read or write.
From what I understand, the biblical canons were only just being compiled but I don’t know if they’d even been scribed by the time Jesus was said to have lived.
It amazes me that these people never answer the question, they alway skirt around it.
They don’t like to admit (to themselves) that they have no other reason than childhood indoctrination and the beliefs of family and friends reinforcing it.
@@kellydalstok8900 Yea, I understand that. At one time in my life far far away I have said god said it I believe, that settles, then right after I said it I wondered if it was actually true. My moto in life was and is question everything.
They can't answer as I inevitably shows their beliefs are unfounded so they just keep blindly repeating their doctrine
"When you read these things as a child, it seems like nonsense..."
Absolutely agreed!
'When I read them as an adult they seem like nonsense"
...also agreed!
It's frustrating how few theists can get past the first question
@Gods Servant I have a question for you. Can you or any christian superstitionist provide proof your god exists? Just one, itty, bitty piece of evidence. Something besides what's written in your fairy tale book.
@Gods Servant hey, thanks for the offer, but I was a devout Christian myself. I read the Bible co er to cover as a kid and it gave me a lot of anxiety and questions that my pastor couldn't answer. I went from praying and worshipping God to being disgusted by how bloody he is in the Bible but too afraid to leave the religion do to other superstitious beliefs I had. No disrespect to you, but I haven't come across a believer yet that can make sense of the Bible for me.
But if you want a list of questions, I will send them
@Gods Servant It's not just entertainment. _Some of us care about the truth,_ in which case if you don't have a valid reason to believe what you believe (and let's face it, you don't; you aren't going to come back and answer Exceptionally's questions by providing strong proof that a god exists) then none of us has a reason to believe in a god. Yourself included.
@Gods Servant Yes, you are entertaining. It’s both funny and sad that there are adults in the 21st century still believe ancient papyrus scribblings used to comfort, control and scare the illiterate masses of people living in the desert half a world away thousands of years ago have any bearing in anyone’s lives today.
@Gods Servant Why would I waste my time doing that? Either provide proof your god is real or admit you have none.
They just can’t say I believe because I choose to.
MY understanding is that the GOD of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism is the SAME, .. . they just differ when it comes to JESUS.
Possibly, the question I struggle with though is not whether they are the same it’s whether it even exists.
Go back much, much further, you’ll find the same bullshit wearing different clothes.
All gods are the same! Imaginary !
YEP! They are all the same as in none of them exist in reality 🤪
In Christianity we are to God as ants in an ant "farm", not an ant "hill". An ant hill symbolizes more freedom than God would allow.
@Gods Servant The page where God puts the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, knowing that they would eat the fruit, and knowing everything that comes after that.
@Gods Servant But I never stopped. I read the whole thing. The Noah story had me laughing uncontrollably and falling on the floor at the thought that there are actually people that believe that it is literally true.
@Gods Servant I've read your fairy tale book several times. It's the worst written book on superstition I've ever read.
@@davidallen111 Yes, I agree the flood story is hilarious. 8 people feeding, watering and removing all the shite from a boat 2/3 the size of Titanic is quite funny.
@Gods Servant I've read the whole book. It starts poorly and never gets any better.
7:22 “I buy that.” I love how Seth is so sincere with these callers. He really is trying to reason with this caller and the caller is just failing to grasp his point on every level.
Matt and all team .. i owe u at least 40 shots and 40 beers ... lifetime redeemable ... salute
It’s always the childhood indoctrination. Always.
Child abuse. Took me 36 years to shake free of it.
@@ummmno3871 I thought I got over it in my teens, but still had nagging, irrational fears about hell and Armageddon. Then in my late 30s early 40s I hit a rough patch and the indoctrination drug me back in for over a decade.
Now I understand why I was still having such irrational religious fears as an atheist. I was still under the influence of indoctrination though I had already rejected religion in my teens.
Because religion is evile.
It’s is so simple
If you can prove a god or gods exits there would be no atheists .
That’ would be the end of your show.
Now what do you do
@@jeoffwalden4492 it’s simple, but where’s the proof? 🤣
This is what makes the show so great. You can tell this guy hasn't spent much careful attention to thinking on why he has faith. Doubts are often chased away due to fear, loyalty, and duty to God. And conversations like this for people to face this.
Narrack was probably fuming with anger for days… lol
Narock is having difficulty answering “why” (which he thinks means ‘how’), because he’s never EXAMINED why. He doesn’t realize that he needs an answer to why. He believes because he was raised to believe and because he’s never faced the possibility that truth requires evidence. He just doesn’t have any. He’s the textbook example of blind faith. You’re never going to reach a person who is in this state of mind. If you’re extremely lucky you might plant a question mark in his head that might someday nag him enough to get him actually questioning. Maaaybe then you can reach him.
Strange how there are no graves or tombs of any bible characters
@@ajclements4627 only kings or rulers
There are some. However, that won't demonstrate the veracity of the book either.
@@loki6626 Next you’ll tell me Spider-Man doesn’t exist! 😁
Can anyone give me a location on a grave of a new testament person
Seth really put the nail in the cross, so to speak, on this one. Great job.
It would b a good idea for children to grow up …( humans we mean )
Go Seth!
6:55 Narock's brain hit the walls of his skull.
""Uhhhh"
"Why?" is too difficult for most theists. And this guy is around-the-bend.
Seth should have continued to handle it.
"I believe in God."
"OK. Why?"
"Well, Jesus wrote the word."
"How do you know?"
"I don't want to talk about how I know."
"Well, I do. How do you know?"
"I believe in God."
That's logic right there.
Man, Seth should do audiobooks.
Why can't god write it all out again on every PC, tablet, phone and broadcast it all out on radio and tv simulatneously so every person on the planet see's, hears and understands in an instant what he wants. He could also start by telling us which one he is.... ??????
Funny how the frequency of "miracles" has plunged as technology capabilities have skyrocketed. Any actual miracle would be captured on a thousand cell phones and CCTV's. Instead... God falls silent.
@@chad3232132 maybe he's in Covid lockdown and they don't have good broadband in heaven yet?

@@ajclements4627 LOL... it's sooooooooo slow!! Like thousands of years to get the message clearly!!!
@@ajclements4627 I've never heard so much as static from God.
Seth needs to be on more often 👍
Seth nailed it with his questioning
jesus never wrote anything, and nobody wrote anything ABOUT jesus while he was "alive". odd that.
That’s not an accurate way of putting it. Jesus may or may not have written stuff and others may or may not have written about him while he was alive. But we have no evidence that Jesus wrote anything nor that others wrote about him in his lifetime.
@@tp230
Yes it is accurate.
Until it's verified that jesus even existed, it can't be verified he wrote anything or was even literate.
People can write whatever they want and attribute it to whomever they need. The further back in time that personage exists the more easily that is achieved and the more unlikely/implausible it is to verify the original source.
@@tyrionlannister3459 “yes it is accurate” → whose assertion are you referring to?
@@tp230
On the first 8 words you wrote. I disagreed with you.
@@tyrionlannister3459 what I am saying is that we have no evidence that Jesus ever wrote anything therefore you cannot claim he did, neither claim that he did not write anything.
The only thing you can say is that we have no evidence of this character Jesus (real or not) ever writing anything, which is different to claiming that “Jesus never wrote anything” like the original poster did. How do you disagree with that?
If he cannot exp.ain why he believes, he doesn't believe, but wants to.
