I have a friend who keeps on asking me why Im an atheist so I decided to tell her that there is no clear evidence that a supreme being/god ever existed. Damn she went ballistic screaming at me "Read your bible the evidence is written all over the book" I was so surprised at her but at the same time just can't stop myself laughing non-stop. Thanks to the bible Im now an Atheist!!
A lot of stuff that was said in this podcast is VERY similar to what happens to me on facebook. I grew up in the christian church, went to a private christian school for 13 years so naturally I have a lot of christians on my facebook. Now that I am atheist (the only one in my family) I do get responses from people who think that Satan has poisoned my mind and deceived me. I get so frustrated at reading bible verse status updates. Glad to know that I am not the only one experiencing this.
I loved your story at the beginning. I was cracking up. Also, the caller who described the trouble maker becoming a Christian while he, the shy kid, became an agnostic (atheist), describes my situation with many people in former high school as well.
just this day i've anounced on my facebook "its ok to be atheist" its amazing how many of my friends are like "you cant say things like that" when i talk out about religion. But i had a responce from my facebook status and it was an old school friend, and i was brought up in the christian faith, she said "U wouldn't be saying that come judgement day. Burn baby burn! Lool!!". to which i responded "your wishing me harm because i dont agree with your beliefs... how christian of you"
heh I think religion was put best with, "The difference between philosophy and religion is, philosophy has questions that can't be answered, and religion has answers that can't be questioned."
someone i follow on twitter posted "god makes no mistakes" i replayed with "a god that does nothing i guess makes no mistakes" i have not gotten a replay back
Why dont these people understand that Facebook has privacy settings so that you can have your discussions in private? You can share certain details with a specifc group of people!
My mother in law felt like the mom you speak of but she never ever spoke out that way. She was very quiet and felt fortunate just to have grandchildren. I was lucky to have her in my life. I went to her church just to respect her and her husband. Just to allow my children to have that sense of community. As an atheist, I knew they needed me for the sake of their family. So, I kept quiet about my atheism for their sake. They died My children remember them. We loved them.
@TheThinkingAtheist After responding directly to this guy in your comments saying "There's a special place in hell for atheists", the perfect response to this tactic just dawned on me. Picture, if you will, one of these persons making the "going to hell" statement to a Klingon from Star Trek. The response: PERFECT! THEN THAT IS THE WAY IT SHALL BE! I wonder what the reaction would be. (I picture "Commander Kruge" giving this response. He was the one played by Christopher Lloyd.)
TTA, you have an amazing radio voice. I try to restrain myself when dealing with people on Facebook, but it is difficult sometimes. Fortunately I don't have to deal with it too often. Last religious debate I had was with my mother, over the phone. She's a "feeler" too. She doesn't even have a strong faith in Christianity, but she just KNOWS that there's something out there watching over us that loves us and has a "plan" for everyone. Kinda hard to argue with that sort of mentality.
and after the defriending, you find something like this, develop relationships with people who are really like minded, it's ok, you are still yourself, you are more true to yourself, that is ultimately what leads to true hapieness.
Seth I have a question. You sound exactly like a caller that called The Atheist Experience many years ago. I saved that episode, but I need to look for it. I remember the caller saying that he was an atheist, but yet he was questioning The Big Bang Theory. Let me know if it was you before you fully embraced your atheism. If it's not you, it sure sounds exactly like you. By the way love your podcast, been a listener for a few months now.
I am getting to that "snapping point!" Half my family are religious and believe that gay marriage is wrong and/or should not be allowed. I have to hold myself back from slinging words around.
I agree with Seth. Sometimes you just cant take it anymore, and we all are supposed to have the same right. If they can post their shit in a friendly manner, u should too.
I've been there. My niece unfriended me after calling me a hypocrite that is going to Hell. Plus, she has nothing to appreciate from. Plus, that why grandma hates you since you were born. I don't wish harm, for I love you.
I had a similar moment on facebook - "When life knocks you down, use the moment to pray on your knees".My reply was - "It would be more effective if you use the moment to do push-ups so the next time it would be harder to be knocked down".
Love your show Seth, how can I get The Thinking Atheist phone number? Dont know why but I can't find any contact numbers to call your show. By the way I'm not a member and maybe this is why I haven't find the number yet. Thanks
17:27 #LOL Yeah, the first thought I had when I heard that doorbell was "it would be so fitting if that was a Mormon or Jehovah's Witness at the door".
I think your response to your friend's status update was brilliant! It is crazy to me how Americans don't want to have "deep" conversations but then make just that kind of provocative comment. It is the people who want to go deeper who are admonished while those who settle for trite comments are supported. Go figure!
"Someone's self righteous Lord, Kumbaya" Great bunch of PodCasts Seth! YOU HAVE HELPED ME and I'm retired, 60 and have never asked anyone for help. But man, am I struggling with recently, quietly confiding that I am an atheist. My wife shares my views and she loves me - so do my dogs. Still, I would never have expected the knee jerk reaction I have experienced from people I have known for decades. They know I have lived a life of integrity and honesty, but never a church goer. I guess that is OK? But "Atheist" is the poison word. I have serious doubts about using that word any longer. I could easily say what I have said my entire life - "I have no idea, I envy your faith. Faith is a gift I have yet to receive" and that shuts 'em up. I tell my lovely bride to just say she is a Deist - she helps everyone, still has every friend that she ever made, and doesn't deserve ridicule from people who are certain they hold an A ticket to heaven - they know all the prayers!
Amazing show Seth. You really have a gift for connecting with people. I'm glad you're on our side, because as a preacher I'm betting you'd be dangerous!
I wish you could interview me for the in your words, my life was painful and sickening, Despicable parents, etc. I have Post Traumatic Stress disorder, Anxiety, etc. I am messed up because of my Psycho religious parents, but I am better because I am out of that environment
Your comment about "Facebook performance", got me to thinking; Isn't most preaching like that? It is a lot like the "product placement" advertising in TV shows from the 50s.
Let me rephrase that last line. Few people who use militant as an adjective followed by a noun describing a position they hold are suggesting they use violence.
Been here...done that!This rings true for emails that get sent by family n friends...usually chain letters but, often times, religious garbage and is similar to differing views about politics being made public. On principal, I'm gonna post this to my Facebook then watch the torrent of shock n awe that follows! Excellent show as always!
I agree pretty much with the lady at 31:00-- I don't go chime in on someone else's page just to be argumentative, but I'll respond to public comments on videos, etc.
I always post/comment on religious means on Facebook. I usually get hoarded by believers but I also encourage non believers to speak up as well and I lead the charge! CCHHAARRGGEEE!!!!!
well then you may say: "if he is all-knowing and therefore knows what you want before you realize you want it, then why take the time to pray if he already knows and made his effort to do so if he will?"
Being militant in this sense doesn't imply violence. The word has come to be used culturally to describe dedication and discipline surrounding a set of ideals and willingness to defend those ideals. Few people who use militant as an adjective are actually suggesting that they use violence.
There is a few things you have to understand about the Facebook effect. First, when you have people who confront someones particular perceptual reality paradigm, you are basically confronting and possibly disassembling a persons bases for interpreting reality and there for the basis for their life. That will most definitly cause stryfe in some way or another either upfront or passively.Secondly, people have personas that they put up to make it easier to interact with other publically...part1
I usually don't post atheist stuff on my wall usually because I made a group with all of my intelligent, atheist/agnostic friends. It saves me along with the others from having to deal with the zombies by having a forum of intellect to privately discus recent events and things we discover.
@TheThinkingAtheist I think i read somewhere that i does, however i think its every Monday or so that it runs out of those special hell chocolate cookies and you have to make do with the coconut ones :P
I am a huge fan of the podcast, and of the channel, and I think you do great work. If I may offer a a bit of feedback, however, it seems every other show extensively involves Facebook feuds. Aren't there bigger issues we can discus than Aunt Betty posting the Serenity Prayer?
In all my listening, I don't recall you ever revisiting this topic. 5 years later is the Facebook climate still the same? I wouldn't know because I closed my fb account 7 years ago. Dust this one off Seth.
Whenever somebody quotes "religious" verses... I simply do something fun like, say, give hints to trying to prove an invisible pink unicorn and say that this pink unicorn grants wishes, and whenever one of your wishes comes true, it's because this unicorn granted it. It usually just confuses them, but I've seen that unicorn perform revelation before... and it was awesome.
@i3rucei3ruce I would agree that we have chosen a more objective route albeit sometimes more difficult one. But in the end, I think we will be more mature as a person than most other people.
@retroHC Many, if not most of us ARE atheists or at least free-thinkers. The problem is we do ask questions, and that leads us to abandon a faith-based system of thought. Anyway, the woman who attacked me on my channel wasn't asperger's. Her son may or may not have had aspergers, but she was unwilling to even accept that autism was a real diagnosis. She thought the gov't was out to get her. They took her son away from her, so she probably had severe psych problems to begin with, plus paranoia
I had a real issue last night with so-called friends of mine. One was an ex-boyfriend that I dated that knew that I didn't believe in the Christian God. His friend was just obnoxious saying that I was a jackass for not believing in God. I said to him that he is using ad hominem attacks on me instead of discussing the issues. When discussing evolution, he actually said to me that how can there still be apes and humans both on the planet? I couldn't believe it. He also said that Dinosaurs
I don't think we should let it slide. I would have challenge "the feeler" on her obvious pride in being so understanding, yet how really superficial she comes off. To the foot soldier (in sales we call a redirect), I would call him on his dodge, "explaining" or "answering" him just gives his question validity. Ask him why he's so afraid of the possibility his god may be a monster?
The forums on a website called "Art of Problem Solving" (A math website) are currently infected with a chain signature on too many posts that says "95% of professing Christian teens won't stand up for Jesus. If you are one of the 5% who will, please copy/paste this into your signature." It's so fucking annoying.
Also, Aspergers syndrome. It's a form a autism that I have. I am low functioning, but people that have it seriously are people that can't understand most normal things normal people can understand on a simple basis. For example, Rain Man. He has extremely high functioning autism. Watch that movie. It's awesome. Dustin Hoffman and Tom "Xenu's bitch" Cruise are brilliant in it.
You're right. What I struggle with (still) is that for those of us who question, or outright doubt, the existence of god (i.e., a personal god), Christians are so quick to condemn saying "You'll spend eternity in hell then." If there is a god who is "all loving, all merciful," then why wouldn't I just simply be wrong in my conviction that there is unlikely a god? Why would there be misery and torture in store? It's a sick religion/philosophy based on fear and intimidation.
@animegirl86 as I scroll down some more, "God show me ..what u want me to do ,I'll follow your will ♥" "I'm not fighting for anything, or arguing, or debating, whatever god wants to happen will, all I can do is wait..life goes on thru tears...injuries..an pain."
I think it's ok for atheists to post anti religion stuff on their own facebook Walls and if the faithful reply then by all means go to town on them, but i dont agree with going to a religious friends wall and arguing with them.
it can be hard to read these religious bandaids, though.i generally just try to be encouraging while omitting the obligatory 'praying for you' stuff.when my kids who still are church go-ers ask for prayer (especially in decision making)I send a private message.but then, i don't think the wall is the place for this kind of thing (advice of more personal decisions).today's post about the ufo and apocalypse is the 1st time i have been openly abt casting doubt on the bible as truth.
My 6% event came today. I outed myself as an atheist to my gaming clan. The stress mostly came from other sources, but now everyone in my gaming clan is going to know I'm one of those "intolerant new atheists". Someone hold me.
6% event. Crap day at work, feeling unwell, loads of annoyingly awkward jobs to get through and my boss thought it was funny to walk into the workshop, stand next to me and break wind loudly. Rageface engaged, p45 a distinct possibility.
I have a friend who keeps on asking me why Im an atheist so I decided to tell her that there is no clear evidence that a supreme being/god ever existed. Damn she went ballistic screaming at me "Read your bible the evidence is written all over the book"
I was so surprised at her but at the same time just can't stop myself laughing non-stop. Thanks to the bible Im now an Atheist!!
I gotta stop drinking coffee while listening to Seth - you're killin' me man...nearly had coffee come out my nose on this one!
A lot of stuff that was said in this podcast is VERY similar to what happens to me on facebook. I grew up in the christian church, went to a private christian school for 13 years so naturally I have a lot of christians on my facebook.

Glad to know that I am not the only one experiencing this.
I nearly choked to death on my Ramen as you read the comment from the 'feeler.' It calmed me down 20% out of the sheer absurdity.
You should consider writing a book which is mostly a compilation of the emails you get, along with commentary.
That's hysterical! "Thou shalt fear me and "friend" me on Facebook...or burn!" Nothing like unconditional love, huh?
I loved your story at the beginning. I was cracking up.
Also, the caller who described the trouble maker becoming a Christian while he, the shy kid, became an agnostic (atheist), describes my situation with many people in former high school as well.

Gotta love the "I will follow God till I die!" type statuses and then you go to the club and you see that person getting daggered on the dance floor.
I agree with Seth. Sometimes you just cant take it anymore, and we all are supposed to have the same right. If they can post their shit in a friendly manner, u should too.
HOLY SHIT, I love the dramatic readings, Seth. You've got quite the voice good sir.
These podcasts are long but they are worth watching. I'm going to start checking them out more often.
@MrSwedenik Actually, I think it should be:
"Science flies people to the moon. Religion flies people sky-high....with suicide bombs"
I've been there. My niece unfriended me after calling me a hypocrite that is going to Hell. Plus, she has nothing to appreciate from. Plus, that why grandma hates you since you were born. I don't wish harm, for I love you.

@CxerRy96 You don't have to watch anything. It's a podcast. Listen to it in the background while you do whatever else you're doing.
Seth these are great! Keep up the amazing work! =]
SO Seth can we do a webcam one if we are in Europe and you can't come

"You do not think with your muscles, but instead with your brain. You wouldn't know that. You think with your muscles."

Hell has the greatest cookies ever and all those Theists are missing out. Cookie dough + Fire = Best Cookies Ever.

I wonder if Mark Zuckenburg knows the impact of his college project.

Another great vid. ^_^ I actually convert these into mp3s and listen to them while driving. ^_^
@JosephDanielsTC7R Just an example, don't worry about it
Sometimes, picking your battles can win you the war.
why is this not on itunes?
This is one of reasons I don't do facebook.
it can be hard to read these religious bandaids, though.i generally just try to be encouraging while omitting the obligatory 'praying for you' stuff.when my kids who still are church go-ers ask for prayer (especially in decision making)I send a private message.but then, i don't think the wall is the place for this kind of thing (advice of more personal decisions).today's post about the ufo and apocalypse is the 1st time i have been openly abt casting doubt on the bible as truth.
If Hell exists, it's where you'll find all the fun, funny, and sexy people, everyone who knows how to have a good time.
My 6% event came today. I outed myself as an atheist to my gaming clan. The stress mostly came from other sources, but now everyone in my gaming clan is going to know I'm one of those "intolerant new atheists".
Someone hold me.
6% event. Crap day at work, feeling unwell, loads of annoyingly awkward jobs to get through and my boss thought it was funny to walk into the workshop, stand next to me and break wind loudly. Rageface engaged, p45 a distinct possibility.
You're my favorite sir.
I love these!
@MikaelDryden Who's Kelly? o.O
Seth started to sound like Ghost to me when tired at midnight last night.
I hate my ears for that.
Excellent show, keep it up.
God be praised! :P
