The advantage of a simple language structure might be that, being unencumbered by complex language structures allows mind to spend more effort on what is to be said not how it is to be said.

His wife is evil...poor children, all brainwashed. I hope they understand their father's journey and follow his path to freethinking.

[Iloerk]

Living proof of Gilbert Ryle's theories!

[bmxmike215]

God is so loving that if you don't believe him, your family will never speak to you, LOL

[papasmurfXXX]

living proof of atheist jungle men.

[papasmurfXXX]

congratulations, living proof of atheist youtubers!!!.

[Ettenyl56]

Such is the power of a self-righteous and fearfully emotional belief system as Christianity. How sad that a man's wife and children would disown him just because he has moved beyond the mentally exclusive ideas of the Christian belief system.

[DurexDurpaneu2]

It wouldn't work.

[DurexDurpaneu2]

@jefferdaughter I'm baffled over the fact that you said: books of science are soaped up words of mouth. I suggest looking up the definition to "word of mouth" first before you make such statement.

Think of the computer that you use, it's such a complex and accurate machine, it's impossible to be built on "word of mouth".

Science is in no way, form of shape, based on "word of mouth" It's based on fact! Proven fact.

Example:

If one 0 was replaced by a 1 in the programing of a satellite, it wouldn

[RicoRicanNYC]

They see some kind of entity's? Hum... Well maybe the fallen angels? Since they said that they don't believe in anything they can't see..

[DurexDurpaneu2]

@warnization you mean ideas of minimal value. Every story/idea/moral that religions offer are mostly common sense, but most of them are just feeble attempts in satisfying our constant quest for knowledge. And in the end they just raze more questions then they give answers. Plus we have books of science and the internet now to share actual valuable information and in a proper manner, not just by word of mouth.

[Jefferdaughter]

@DurexDurpaneu2 - Interesting to read here what people think, and enjoyed your post.

BTW 'books of science and the Internet' are just souped up ways of sharing word of mouth information. Much of the' Truth' as revealed by Science has already changed in my lifetime. Recent New Yorker article titled "The Truth Wears Off" by Jonathan Lehrer may be of interest to some thinkers here.

[DurexDurpaneu2]

Losing your family over difference in beliefs. Sad but true. That's why I'm against religion.

All religious people claim they are right and the others are wrong. That they have the truth and everyone else believes in a lie.

Such a bigoted and self centered mind set.

It's sickening.

[warnization]

@DurexDurpaneu2 In extreme cases, yes. But you're mostly thinking about the set of judeo-christian-islamic religion (eg, Jainists actually have tenets that say they should be happy to enjoy worshipping with believers of different faiths), and even then believers of those religions can rationalize ways to not inflict their beliefs on others.

Ultimately, any religion is just a really good way of passing down ideas of...variable value. there are some ideas there that are worth spreading, though.

[highwind8124]

Wait, wait... your Christian wife divorced you? Even Paul says if you're married to a non-believer, don't seek divorce, but if he wants to divorce you, then let it happen.

Actually, the book of Hosea upholds the moral example of a man who took back his adulteress whore of a wife, demonstrating the amazing grace of God.

Her reaction of forcing Dan on the phone to tell his kids seems... she seems to have more a personality problem than one caused by the Bible.

[kmcl11]

@Youbian and he has a knowledge of the truth.

[Youbian]

@kmcl11

Quid est veritas?

[kmcl11]

@Youbian He knows god is not there. Is was all just in his head. Universal truths are observed everywhere.

[Catuxalina51488B]

I wonder if the ex-missionary's ex-wife has some evil spirit in her, since she had no mercy on her poor now-atheist husband. Christinsanity is nothing but evil. Even satanists are better people as a whole.

[cityofimmigrants]

Excellent interview.

[fish5133]

Why get divorced just because one partner no longer believes and why wouldnt the children speak to him. Sounds more like Jehovahs Witness shunning rather than Biblical Christianity. Plenty of Christians in churches with unbelieving partners

[Dhesyca]

A lot of it depends on what denomination of Christian a person is and how conservative or liberal they are in their beliefs. Many conservative Christians believe that one must be "equally yolked" in their marriages and even in other relationships in their lives.

There are some people who refuse to even date people of other religions, because the similarity in beliefs ensures a common understanding of moral behavior.

[defiythelie]

@fish5133 Biblical christianity is does not exist in todays world.

[mohfoz77]

Excellent.

Thank you.
