WHAT IS TALK HEATHEN?
Talk Heathen is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared toward long-form and on-going dialogue with theists & atheists about religion, theism, & secularism. Talk Heathen is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
Talk Heathen is filmed in front of a live studio audience every week at the Freethought Library of the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop & support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing & friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of government-religion separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists & 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.

Why is it that everyone assumes that if there is an afterlife then there must be a god?
Why can’t we have an afterlife without a god?

[@davidszeremi1786]

And reincarnation! Imagine if the afterlife is being born again on earth... Which means if you don't make this a better place, you will suffer in your next life ...

[@shang6158]

Caller says "the god proposition makes no sense... except for my god"
then proposes a god such that the word 'god' makes no sense.
It seems like the exception proves the rule.

[@shang6158]

The sense in which Igtheism is true is this:
The word 'god' is used to mean anything from "a supernatural being" to "the mindless chaos inherent in the universe."

"Then why call it(him) god?" - Epicurious
