@alltiedup217 Ummm do some some research my friend,the southern owners of slaves actually used the Bible in their defence when congress was trying to abolish slavery,and we all know what happened after that,and most religions are racist toward the Jewish race,most notably Muslims but not limited to them.Also Hitler claimed in Mein kampf to be working on behalf of God and Hitler and Mussolini had full backing of the Cathlioc church.The spanish inquisition is also further proof..need I say more?
The caller, Nicholas', analogy with the blades of grass is flawed. The statistical likelyhood that there r odd/even blades is exactly 50%. The argument that a god does/doesnt exist is also a 50% likelyhood is not true. Even though its an either true/false claim, the plausible or statical likelyhood that a big magic intelligence in the sky is controlling everything, is a LOT less than 50%. A magic space T-pot either does/doesnt exist but the likelyhood is so tiny as to be unworthy of debate.
It's a surprise some people don't drive themselves insane getting themselves so fucking confused by their own inability/unwillingness to clearly define the terms they throw around.
The blades of grass idea is sort of ok, but the flaw is that with blades of grass, whether even or odd, they both exist. When it comes to things that exist and things that don't exist, we are logically forced to default into "doesn't exist" if there isn't evidence of its existence. This applies to God, fairies, Santa, monsters under bed, etc.
Freshman dude, check out Reddit Atheism as well. You can probably make a post and get some support, I think there are over 250 000 members. Good luck : )
Conservatives tend to live outside of major population centers. People who live in the country hunt more because of their surroundings. They're also more prone to be ignorant on matters of reli gion. (easily manipulated by people like Pat "What's this mac and cheese? Is that a black thing? Robertson)
It's been proven scientifically that the Ouija works. You've got to repeat the appropriate phrase, and it can be anything to "God are you with me" to "Por sobre el Código". Then, you can experience the power of the ouija board. You can have insights into the future, such as if someone's going to die, and so on and so forth. There's many ways to communicate to the "other side," but many people prefer to do shamanic work, it's perhaps the most effective method to communicate with these entities.
Tracy, there is a physiological reason the pointer moves without anyone wanting to move, I forget what it's called. But, the pointer will move without anyone trying. This was mentioned on the Bullshit episode, too.
Regarding firearms; I do worry sometimes that there's a serious conflict in paradigm between people who like guns, believe in divinity who worry about a literal need for guns versus the people who don't like guns, are atheist and seek peaceful solutions.
I -want- peaceful solutions, but I'm the one unarmed and unpopular. I literally have less power to do nothing to force other people into things than fundamentalists do to enforce Christianity.
I've been a long term fan of the show and have seen every episode that I have been able to find. AE helped me through the transition from an agnostic deist into a agnostic atheist but I've discovered a fundamental problem with the show as an atheist viewer.
The theist callers never come up with new arguments. I always feel like I'm watching a re-run. Lol
I have a speciel place in my heart for all of you guys :) and Tracie the way you handled the wacko who said that making a man marry a woman he raped (in the old testament) was a good thing. You guys are doing some awesome things for critical thinking skills.
Are there any atheists out there that tend to lean conservative politically based on secular reasoning? This is not an invitation for trolling or verbal diarrhea. Atheists appear to trend liberal, but I believe our community is a truly diverse community where issues can be discussed free from religious influence in meaningful ways.
@hardforatard Ouch! Insults, insults. You misunderstand the nature of the Bell Curve. It's all about averages. Of course there will be exceptions in all races but the IQ gap between Caucasians and Asians, for example, shows that the variation within the Asian group is less than the variation between the Asian and the Caucasian group. This correlates with the Biological data obtained that clearly indicates neurological differences amongst ethnic groups. I
alltiedup217 & hardforatard are right. There is no genetic difference in race. Biologist will be the first to say that races differ only cosmetically. Many dont even use the word "race" to describe human variation. My anthopologist/teacher at my old university has studied & lived with people of different cultures for years & found no difference in intelligence. And by the way, the Bell Curve is bullshit. Please show me what scientific journal has published it after peer review.
@EarlRegent insults are far less than what you actually deserve for being this dumb. you can't claim that atheists are racist and then subscribe to a garbage study that is inherently racist. feel free to give some actual evidence for the crap you're claiming.
@Spaghettimonster777 I beg your pardon? The KKK is a vile and worthless American organisation. Calling an anti-racist a KKK member is the same as calling Mother Teresa a mafia boss.
@EarlRegent You said that most hardcore racists are atheists, which is a disgusting and completely incorrect statement. So I pointed out KKK which is the most well known racist Christian organisation.
And you want to talk about mother Teresa? Sick cruel immoral piece of Calcutian shit.
@Spaghettimonster777 "sick cruel immoral piece of Calcutian shit."? I am guessing you are referring to Mother Teresa. 1. You have just launched a racist attack. 2. She is Albanian(you know, from Europe) not Indian. 3. Christopher Hitchens really needs to re-consider some of the things he puts out there.
@EarlRegent :D I am not judging her for her RACE. I'm judging her for her actions. Look up the definition of racism. And that wasn't really my point. Just mentioned that she was anything but a good person.
Wtf about Hitchens?
But seriously, claiming that atheists are more racist than religious people? That's disgusting.
@Spaghettimonster777 I explained numerous times that I am not calling atheists racist; I am done with this topic cause you guys are intentionally trying to box my argument. I am moving on to your source for accusing Mother Theresa of being a sadist etc.. Site your reasons and sources if possible.
@EarlRegent Sadist! That's the word! thanks. You don't have to look too hard to find out how she was. I haven't actually read the Hitchens book on the subject. No point arguing about that. I see you have better evidence for her divinity.
@EarlRegent not only did you call atheists racists you have been shown twice now where you said it.mother "Teresa refused to authorize the purchase of medical equipment" and the sh**loads of money that wasn't spent on hospitals went straight to the Vatican Bank, the nurses had no medical experience or knowledge infact their idea of sterilizing needles is rinsing them with warm water, they didn't separate the people who had tuberculosis from the people who didn't
@EarlRegent She wasn't that great actually. She used slave labor to get her practices going in India. She was also against the progression of women which I see as a bit self-loathing. There are other reasons why she wasn't the saint that she was made to be. Look it up, it's actually really interesting.
@alltiedup217 I never called atheists racist; stop lying. I said that atheism is more compatible with naturalist racism and that most hardcore racists are atheist. Understand English?
@EarlRegent ok ass head this will be the last time i post this QUOTE FROM YOU The KKK might be religious but I don't know where you have been lately cause the vast majority of staunch racists are atheists.EarlRegent 4 days ago..you will not you did NOT say that atheism is more compatible with naturalist racism and that most hardcore racists are atheist. pull your head from your ass.you said it deal with it..you lied and now you lie again to cover your lies.understand english?
@alltiedup217 Are all Americans this fowl mouthed? What a frightful prospect. Please copy and paste where I stated that atheists are racists or at least made that specific implication. Remember, saying any group is one thing or the other is a blanket statement and I am 100% I never made such an asinine blunder.
@EarlRegent humm I just did post where you said it I think 4 times now that i have had to post it, and im not American.Do you not see the irony in asking if all american's are foul mouthed then you say calling one group or another one thing or anther in a blanket statement is asinine?is everyone from the UK this dumb?
@alltiedup217 If you are that ill intended to the point of deliberately not recognizing a rhetorical and non-serious question like 'are all Americans fowl mouthed' then it is what it is.
@EarlRegent way to duck having to admit you lied.You made the blanket statement that MOST racists are atheists ..but wait you said that would be asinine.You would never say one group is one thing or another right?cause that would be again asinine right?or are you going to retract that statement as well?you would never made such asinine blunder..right?
@alltiedup217 It surprises me that so many youtube atheist racists are Canadian. I lived in Canada for a few years and Canadians are the furthest thing from bigoted in the Western world - Surprising. Giving them more views and attention by listing them( I mean all racist atheists on youtube) is counter productive to my cause, so in light of not being able to provide statistical evidence; I will have to surrender the argument. Congratulations.
@Spaghettimonster777 What the hell are you talking about? Who accused you of calling all Indian people Immoral? Yourself, perhaps. I have never claimed she was divine, how could I, seeing that I am an atheist. You just have no evidence that she was evil. It's just atheist hatred focused on anything to do with religion. Grow up and stop swearing.
@hardforatard I understand this, but in my experience, as a whole we tend to lean to the left. Personally I am a bit more conservative/ libertarian in my politics, and was wondering if there was anyone else on the thread who held similar opinions. For me, Atheists/Skeptics & libertarians are the most engaging groups to have discussions with, as most Atheists understand logic & like discussing the merits of ideas, and libertarians value individual rights & responsibility above other concerns.
@AdUtrumquePeratus76 to me, it just seems that atheists generally hold more views that are culturally perceived as radical, whether left or right. i myself am a democratic socialist, which is even further left than left haha. however, i'm also anthropologist so i recognize the importance of not alienating or invalidating others' positions.
@hardforatard Interesting, As stated I am an Atheist who favors small local government control as opposed to an all powerful federal government. What leads you to democratic socialism?
@AdUtrumquePeratus76 i'm not sure it's something i can explain adequately even in a few sentences, but essentially i feel as though the current political and economic systems that govern us are inherently exploitative the in the relationships it produces between people. i guess i have more of a concern about our society as a whole, while at the same time recognizing individual needs and differences. i feel as though a person's worth has been reduced to what they can make for someone else.
@hardforatard The intentions behind the study and how they make me feel are irrelevant; the results are the results. If you want to rely on pure scientific logic then you would have difficulty refuting the evidence. A God can solve that instantly.
@EarlRegent there is nothing scientific about the bell curve. how does knowledge of vocabulary like that shown in the bell curve test one's iq? that's entirely dependent on what you have been exposed to throughout life, not innate ability. also, i want you to explain what heritability means. it's pretty much what the bell curve is based off of.
@hardforatard Why do you think the naturalist scare me when it comes to race classification? There is no other authority to appeal to. I would just have to swallow whatever facts they present.
"Blades of Grass", is a very poor analogy for atheism. There just isn't a good parallel between the two examples. You guys, Tracie in particular, spent a lot of time trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole there.
Edit: just as I was posting, Russell interjected and pointed out the poor quality of the analogy, wtg Russell!
I've believe that Russell Glasser is sort of a dick and that he's a bit trigger happy when it comes to letting others make their point. The show never really goes off very well when Matt isn't on the air, and especially when Russell is at the helm.
EarlRegent is stuck in a world where there is no respect for one another without a sort of divine holiness added to each and every person. He misses the fact that he is beginning from a completely different premise than that of atheists, so debate does not work.
Funny thing I came across this video today. I went to a shooting range this weekend and I noticed that pretty much ALL of the people were right-wing nutjobs: Obama-hate stickers everywhere, military support patches, and general republican propaganda.
one positive thing with the ouija board is it allows people to say things to each other that they might be afraid to say as themselves. no mumbo jumbo ..but still kinda' fun!
Just thinking, wouldn't you need an un-randomised board to be used as well, as a control, for each of the individuals, before or after the randomised board?
Atheism is not a religion. It is purely one's disbelief in supernatural deities and all the nonsense that is written in the various religious rule books. There is no book for athiests. We are all free thinking individuals, not limited by the words and directions of entities that don't exist.
@EarlRegent in the atheist community, we understand that every life form is related, is family, so the 'severe racist atheist phenomenon' doesn't exist.
@hotverde15 Lol! The same racist atheist scientists classify blacks as having an underdeveloped frontal lobe and are naturally more aggressive? Go to stormfront's site and tell me how many of them are christians.
"The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment"
Limit of science = nature therefore supernatural exists!
I have listened to you program a lot, but I still do not understand why you feel the need to discuss atheism.. It's out there and if people want to know about us and atheism, they should just read/listen to a text/podcast type media and get the answer.
@satancross if you dont know then you clearly have NOT listened to the show.They have answered your question a number of times.If no one felt the need to "discuss" atheism then there would be nothing to read of listen to or podcast to get the answer from.
@alltiedup217 Atheists do not need to explain what they stand for more than once. We don't belive in a god, we do not have the same 'understanding of life' as the 'believers' have.
I do understand and agree with the show, but it's the religious people that doesn't want to understand.
There is more to discuss in religion than atheism!
@alltiedup217 You can not argue with a racist atheists who holds to natural selection and does not believe in any spiritual authority. In this case, any evidence of differences amongst the racial groups(socially constructed or not) is all one needs to justify bigotry. Why not?
@EarlRegent I googled "race realism". I'd never heard the term before. I couldn't find a single piece of evidence linking it to atheism, in any way shape or form. I did find several religious people who called themselves either race realists, racialists, etc... I've never in my life, met a real racist who was an atheist though. I've met MANY who were religious though. Christian, Muslim, Jewish and even Pagan. I'm not an atheist either but your argument is full of holes.
@alltiedup217 Yes I said the vast majority of 'staunch' racists are atheists. Let me clarify, there is obviously more run of the mill racist sin the religious camp simply because of overwhelming numbers but how many of those versus the racist atheists are for forceful relocation and in certain cases sterilisation of other races?
@EarlRegent BTW forceful relocation you mean like the north american Indian and the slaves forced to come to the US? Not the work of atheists.This where you mention poll pot, stalin or something.People have been killing each other in the name of religion for thousands of years.
@alltiedup217 Indeed, we are talking about the state of affairs today Sir. Read all my comments starting from the very first please and thank you. There is obviously a spiritual need that is deep in the make up of modern man. To ignore this would be incredibly foolish and possibly stupendously destructive.
@alltiedup217 Keep avoiding the question: 1. WHAT ARGUMENT CAN ONE PROVIDE AGAINST RACISM WHILE THE EVIDENCE(WITHOUT GOD) SHOWS PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL GAPS BETWEEN THE RACES? I am beginning to suspect no one is going to answer this.
@EarlRegent your all kinds of crazy...there is no question here.Go look up the word question, have your juice and a nap then try again.The official position of the American Anthropological Association is that intelligence cannot be biologically determined by race.A third position holds that differences in average cognitive ability between races do not exist, and that the differences in average test scores are the result of inappropriate use of the tests themselves.
@alltiedup217 1. I am not a poe. 2. You exaggerate. 3. It's irrelevant where the funding comes from and I am citing these race based studies to demonstrate to you that there is scientific merit to some of the findings. I am having a hard time challenging the results without a spiritual dimension.
@EarlRegent LOL irrelevant where the funding comes from???so you think a racist right wing Christian funded study is unbiased ?.The evidence WAS refuted they never submitted their work for peer review.you have lost this argument in a big way.You should just move on.
@EarlRegent American Psychological Association's Board of Scientific Affairs QUOTE- the Bell Curve as an example of racist science, containing all the types of errors in the application of scientific method that have charcaterized the history of Scientific racism:claims that are not supported by the data given
errors in calculation that invariably support the hypothesis
no mention of data that contradicts the hypothesis
no mention of theories and data that conflict with core assumptions OWNED
@alltiedup217 Look guys; we are on the same side here. My bottom line is that atheism is more compatible with scientifically based racism and that religion is much more valuable today than we atheists comprehend. At least Christianity, Buddhism , Hinduism and such.
@EarlRegent religion does more to keep people at each other and segregated than ever before.Granted now it is gays they go after,but it has been used to justify slavery ,rape, torture,murder.Countless bible ver. talk about keeping to your own kind,Chosen people,clearly religion is very divisive.You have been unable to show a link between religion and racial harmony.In fact I think quite the opposite has been proven.you really should read more you are really uninformed.
@alltiedup217 I am an atheist indeed. We keep misunderstanding each other here. I ma talking about modern day Christianity(granted I am more familiar with the church of England than I am the whacky American churches). Gays are welcome and and racism is completely unacceptable. I do however, appreciate the good work of the church and it is today. You it appears, are very unfamiliar with modern European Christianity.

The caller, Nicholas', analogy with the blades of grass is flawed. The statistical likelyhood that there r odd/even blades is exactly 50%. The argument that a god does/doesnt exist is also a 50% likelyhood is not true. Even though its an either true/false claim, the plausible or statical likelyhood that a big magic intelligence in the sky is controlling everything, is a LOT less than 50%. A magic space T-pot either does/doesnt exist but the likelyhood is so tiny as to be unworthy of debate.

The blades of grass idea is sort of ok, but the flaw is that with blades of grass, whether even or odd, they both exist. When it comes to things that exist and things that don't exist, we are logically forced to default into "doesn't exist" if there isn't evidence of its existence. This applies to God, fairies, Santa, monsters under bed, etc.

It's been proven scientifically that the Ouija works. You've got to repeat the appropriate phrase, and it can be anything to "God are you with me" to "Por sobre el Código". Then, you can experience the power of the ouija board. You can have insights into the future, such as if someone's going to die, and so on and so forth. There's many ways to communicate to the "other side," but many people prefer to do shamanic work, it's perhaps the most effective method to communicate with these entities.
