  • Thank you Matt for your contribution to the world.

  • Its hard to disagree with Matt. The man has a point.

  • So far I've watched/listened to about 200 video clips from the show and still counting. It is certainly international as I'm watching it in Georgia - not next to Florida and Alabama, but Armenia and Azerbaijan. The "show" just woudn't be the same without Matt!

  • I'm an atheist activist/evangelist.....how are you an activist for a non-world view/belief system? The hell...

  • Yay Matt Dilahunty!

  • good guy! I only wish i could be as calm as him when arguing with my Christian friends. Am i the only person that finds it incredibly infuriating?!?!

  • @nigelj2k You are not alone. :) It's very annoying listening to some of the gibberish religious people spout. I had a discussion with a chap online who was convinced that Darwin said that beer cans can evolve but he left this out of The Origin Of The Species because he knew it was silly. I pointed out that beer cans were not invented when Darwin wrote his book but the poor guy could not grasp this concept. :D

  • @nigelj2k Just turn your frustration into amusemen

  • Matt Dillahunty and the rest at the ACA... I wanna thank you for all you do without you id prolly still be a christian, 23 years of Christianity and i decided to actually study my beliefs because of one youtube video of you all... thank you

    been a fan ever since

  • This guy is great c:

  • This is a nice video. Not one video from a thiest has ever appeard this humble.

  • @bornagainanathiest any theist who attempts to be this humble just looks like a serial killer

  • well said in all 3 videos

  • I can remember my Christian instructors using the word "atheist" as if it were demonstrable and such people were literally in league with the devil. the biggest irony of life is that religion when viewed through "the light" is just about the most evil thing out there.

  • i wonder if he knows how many have been er.. whats the word i want here.. converted?

    If anyone.

  • @trixapete I was. :D

  • @trixapete I am one :)

    Matt Dillahunty:1

    Christianity: -1

  • you are the effing man sir!

    

  • Awesome interview.

  • @Jezusslave go spread your delusional propaganda else where!!!

  • I thank the big bang theory every day that people like this, the athiest experience and scholars like Richard Dawkins can give me comfort in the fact I'm not alone in my beliefs. I don't believe in God based on common sense and science. I also have my personal reasons. I grew up in a Christian household. I know what it is about. It's mental child abuse. A psychological mindf*ck later when you realize it's complete bullsh*t! I'm dealing.

  • @Fuckinmadalynohair Exactly,if you can't prove it it either doesn't exist,or is nowhere to be found ( just like it doesn't exist) .Case closed

    No God.

    Period.

  • @Nanatsaya77 We humans have free will to believe in anything we want to believe in, I of course am a free thinker myself. I think outside of the box, in general, I take all views of God, gods, into all account. Anyone can say on this planet that there is or is not a God(or god(s)), but think about this, does your view of god, it, Spaghetti Monster, fairy lord, Gaylord, etc, is any better than someone else views on a God or no god?

  • @Vizzelation I agree with you wholeheartedly on most of what you wrote, but then again,my claims are meant to challenge those who are stuck in the box and claim they are the most free people,i personally do not believe in any deity,and openly mock anybody who claims any knowledge about the supernatural,and i want to provoke people into rethinking their beliefs.

  • love from malaysia, this show has a global effect. the atheist experience helped me understand the importance of skepticism. tq AE

  • @880330145789 "the importance of skepticism" this truly warms my heart ;)

  • anybody who believes in the closet monster deserves to be in the asylum, I don't see the difference in religion.

  • @decemberbenjamin Thumbs up!!!!

    

  • @Fuckinmadalynohair Yeah you can't, since there isn't any evidence lol.

    But hey seriously, how do you prove something does NOT exist? Can you prove dragons do not exist?

  • @Fuckinmadalynohair He doesn't do very many good things, and those few things are vastly outweighed by the evils he's supposedly committed. If you had a shitty dad, would you tell people only about the good things and none of the bad things? You sure would if that dad threatened you with torture for doing so.

  • Hmm, advert for the "Daily Bible Guide". Misplaced me thinks.

  • @shanxtc1984 Not as much as the Pope. Tell me Im wrong.

  • you can tell he's evil: Just look at the beard "satan"

  • @infinightsky hahaha!xD

  • @guillaume958

    lmfao. I really hope it's sarcasm.

  • Jesus or Matt. Hey, at least Matt doesn't speak in bullshit metaphor and limit basic human freedoms.

  • Matt dillahunty for president!!!!

  • @shandow15 ABSOLUTELY!!!!

  • i litk tracy and the fellow with the glasses the best because they are mild mannered and actually let their callers talk and they do a better job i think . Matt is abrasive at times and a bit of a bully at times.sorry just my opinion

  • @casablanca4381 Sometimes, that kind of attitude is expectable. When you meet people who simply won't understand logic and reasoning to benefit outdated and irrational ideas, things get a bit frustrating. For centuries religions have enjoyed undeserved reverence and respect, and it needs a bit of spice sauce to shake the feeble foundation they clearly have. Political correctness can't be an excuse to not shake someone to the point where they realize how absurd religions are.

  • jumping down their throat! I hate to say this but he does that a lot! he is officially my least fav of host. he is not polite respectful like tracy.

  • Matt, all I want to say is THANK YOU for all you are doing. This world is a much better place because of you.

  • I have a serious case of man-love for Matt D.

  • I find that when you put a piano underscore to any one talking it makes it sound all epic and emotional lol. It could just be someone reading a dictionary, and you're dabbing your eyes with a tissue. XD

  • Youre doing a damn good job matt!!

  • Matt is so awesome. His debate with Matt Slick was very educative. 

  • @DaGavinX Educational you mean?

  • matt, you frikkin RULE

  • why in better quality does matt remind me of buddha

  • Matt=endboss

    He can take on any relimuppet in whatever place in whatever hierarchy

  • Cool

  • You can watch Atheist Experience LIVE (and past episodes) on an android app called "Atheist Experience Viewer". There is also a soundboard of Matt called "Dillahunty Soundboard"

  • Looking forward to meeting this man in-person next week at the Gainesville State debate. Anyone else going to that?

  • @niperwiper i wish

  • I met this guy last week :) :)

  • @Prplfox lucky b*stard. lol

  • The Atheist Experience led me to atheism!

  • I must tell you also: there is nothing more demeaning than seeing a man on his knees praying. It is the most de-humanizing image I can imagine.

  • Matt - I have much respect for you. It is a real man who seeks the truth in knowledge. Thank you for being who you are.

  • Amazing, love The Atheist Experience. Keep up the good work Matt and TheThinkingAtheist !

  • 3 people avid theists.

  • @Gnug215

    I wouldn't hold out, she's a troll that isn't from Texas !!

  • lol...why does anybody care if someone is an Atheist/Christian/etc..??? All can give their explanations and reasons why they believe/don't believe in god, I can give you mine...I don't believe in god because to me that is a made up story that people like to listen to so they can be at ease(just my reason), being an Atheist doesn't make me a bad man or anything like that, I don't wish bad things on others...i don't kill/hurt, it's just that I don't believe in god..that's all there is to it for me

  • As a Catholic, believing in God does not make you a good person. You can go to church every Sunday and still be a bad person. But as a Christian, I should point out the Christian point of view and why "we care" Christians believe that if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your savior, you will go to hell FOREVER. That is why Christians care so much, you can't take FOREVER back.But I'm not "better" than you cause I'm Catholic.God loves EVERYONE equal.He loves the Muslim radical EQUAL to the Pope.

  • @ChamorruWarrior well I am not insulting other religions, nor their beliefs :), if believing in God,Jesus makes you happy, safe and other stuff, go ahead and do it, who cares what other people say about it, I just said that i don't believe in it, doesn't mean that you/others shouldn't either. My best friend is Christian and he is totally ok with me not believing :D, and good for you that you are Catholic :), if you like it/believe in it, do it and who cares what other people think

  • @ChamorruWarrior Too bad he doesn't exist.

  • A lot of Christians are upset that we insult them and think we are acting as though we are smug and superior. I know we can't just not argue, but at the same time you have to admit we can put off a bad image.

  • *Dilla*. God damned autospell!

  • Dillard is the man!

  • Love it.

  • Simply put, this man is a great debater. Excellent points and counterpoints proposed and I appreciate him tremendously. Great great great presentation!

  • Jesus wants you all to go to heaven, so repent and be baptized, I expected the backlash from you all and to be honest with God's love anything is possible. Believe in Jesus and you will be set free from the bondage of sin. Jesus doesn't want you to perish, but to have everlasting life.

  • @viletree so gods love was there for my 13 year old cousin who was raped and killed 4 years ago? How about my best friends parents who were violent church goers killed in a car accident, or for my school which had a gun shooting killing 3 innocent kids not even teens yet. Where was Jesus's love for them?

  • yep, we all came from nothing, morals dont matter. the universe and the planets work perfectly to sustain life on out beautiful earth and it all came from chance. perfect.

  • @jakewfpf pardon me, do you have hyperbole fetish?

  • @jakewfpf haha, yes, yes i do.

  • @WHATAFINK1 I had a big long paragraph typed out until i realized you were trolling and said you were a nihilist lol.

  • Comment removed

  • @WHATAFINK1 idk why so many people think you were being serious and flagged you lol. I found it quite comical.

  • @ShinoJereamachi aw c'mon. Nihilism is a legitimate belief system everyone!

  • Comment removed

  • Dear kvj1989,

    Why all this anger? Why all this desire that people who happen to disagree with you suffer?

    I read a few of your posts. I completely disagree with you. I don't believe in this hell of yours.

    But that doesn't mean I wish you something bad. Not at all!

    I want you to have a beautiful, happy, healthy and prosperous long life!!!

    Why on earth would anybody want something bad to happen to someone else, just because the other person doesn't share their views?

    Help me understand.

  • @FomalhautBeer because people think that they are 100% right about everything and that's it. (If you're a guy don't take offence, however you typed very feminine like) Males are very violent. We enjoy lashing at eachother and saying things we don't mean, and the internet gives us the power to do this with NO consequences. I wish people didn't do it, but it's literally just hormones. And I do agree that whether you believe in hell or not, you should never want something bad on others.

  • Give us prof and evidence atheisim is accurate and correct!

    (joking)

    ROTFLMAO!

  • smh its sad and brings me to tears :'( to see how satan deceived you matt my heart achs and goes out to you. I sincerly hope GOD will be able to show the ridiculous of this satanic culture you think brings joy. jesus is looking for his lost sheep :'(

  • @MegaGangstaparadise Your name is "megagangstaparadise"?? Do you know what a gangster does?? I assure you its not very christian.

  • I think Viletree is being sarcastic.

  • Hah, says on Wiki that Matt got married 3 days ago.

    Congrats, Matt! :)

  • matt im sorry to tell you but i dont like that red shirt. I think would have looked better without the jacket and the tie since its not very formal looking

  • @viletree Darwin loves you more!

  • @viletree Fuck you. Leave.

  • @viletree What do you know about Matt's "sins"? How can pouring water over someones head take the "sins" away? What do you know about the "kingdom of heaven", have you ever been there? How can you ask someone who doesn't believe in g(G)od(s) to believe and "repent"? Wouldn't that be dishonest?

    In other words: stfu.

  • @viletree I knew a friend with a parrot once. I didn't realize he taught it to use the internet.

  • @TheThinkingAtheist this comment makes my life better. Kudos.

  • @TheThinkingAtheist Wow...I laughed so hard reading that...

  • @viletree

    B( o )( o )BS!

  • @viletree You do realize that Matt almost became a Baptist minister back in the day, so he knows all this stuff, right?

  • Comment removed

  • @viletree hey, shit for brains, wrong site.

  • @kram83au Jesus loves you kram83au, he doesn't want you to burn in hell. Repent and be baptized or face an eternity in hell. Jesus doesn't want you to perish, seek his face and he will show you the path of righteousness.

  • @viletree “Those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me.”

    ~ Jesus Christ, Central Figure of Christianity

    Looks to me like Jesus doesn't love anyone if he devalues it by making it something that should be extorted or can be distorted. That's not real love. That is fear and extortion.

  • @Phobosuchus1 Don't misrepresent quotes from the Bible. Thats just dishonest.

  • @Barbershop666 Why don't you go ahead and explain to me how it is supposed to be interpreted then?

  • @Phobosuchus1 Do what the Christians don't, and what atheists should, and read the bible, find out for yourself.

  • @Phobosuchus1 Can you quote where that is in the bible? It sounds like something Mumm-ra "the ever living" would say. lol

  • @viletree thats your proof!. fuck me,where do i sign up.spouting your nonsense if its for muhamed,jesus thor,horus, apollo, dont mean jack shit kid, you must work better at converting than your soft cock persuasion. tell me , how did you manage to break free from your careworker.

  • @viletree Wow, so no atheist can enter heaven no matter how good a person they are, whilst really evil Christians can?

    Your god must be an utterly vile, immoral, scumbag.

  • @viletree We atheists take comfort in knowing that there is place full of sheepish followers kneeling at the feet of jealous tyrant where we are not welcome.

  • @viletree We also take comfort in knowing it does not exists.

  • @viletree You are retarded. To repent this retardation, kneel and suck my big atheist dick(and I got that big dick through genetics not through god).

  • @viletree kneel and suck my balls

  • @viletree No atheist wants to enter your kingdom of heaven. Heaven is what you make it, its not a reward you get later on just because you followed an ancient book or passed your judgment on other people. Heaven is right here and right now, so is hell by the way.

  • @viletree "Matt Jesus loves you and [...]"

    Who is Matt Jesus?

  • @simon24h He's Jesus' step brother. He loves you.

  • The worst way to preach about God is via text comment... The best way to preach God, is not to stand and scream "You're going to hell!!!" It's to live your life like Jesus the best you can. People will see how kind and caring you are, and how powerful and confident in God you are and be attracted to you. No one wants to be the Jesus freak on the street corner condeming people to hell... "No athiest can enter the kingdom of heaven" Leave that to God to decide.YOU just live for God, be an example

  • @ChamorruWarrior Wow, a catholic that isn't shoving god down others throats. I give props to you good sir. Honestly the first with at least SOME common sense, instead of just insisting us atheists will automatically burn in hell, which seems kind of weird because doesn't that go against god's judgments and meaning they will be the ones going to hell? Anyway i'm going off topic, and again, thank you for being sensible.

  • Many "athiests" are not athiests, but anti Christians. It's less about what you believe and more about what you don't sometimes. For example. A Buddhist is TECHNICALLY Athiest, there is no God in Buddhism, but Buddhists are very calm, kind and loving human beings, they give to the poor, they show love to all people even enemys etc They are not bad people just because they do not know Jesus.Also it seems you're implying Catholics are crazy freaks... Have flame wars OFFLINE to find senseable ones

  • @ChamorruWarrior no, buddhist's are in no way atheist. An atheist believes in NO god like figures. They believe in many spirits and gods. Atheist doesn't mean anti christian at all, an atheist is an atheist or he's not, there is no inbetween.

  • There is no God figure in Buddhism. But there is many kinds of Buddhism too, so maybe. But what I find the major difference is from Buddhism or any religion reguardless of if there is a God or not, is I cannot stop from feeling horrible about a group of people who are just out there feeling like they're life has no perpose at all. Like they are just here for no reason, no point to anything. It's sad,and I feel like they must have had something happen or done ALOT of self conviencing to belive it

  • @ChamorruWarrior would you be talking about nihilism? And yes I do agree that is sad.

  • @ChamorruWarrior i'm an atheist and i don't feel at all like that, i love the life i live. i find the existance of life on this little blue speck in the wide universe as something so beautiful and i live my life (my only life) to the fullest helping others and society.. check the video ''science saved my soul'' such a trip

  • @ChamorruWarrior how does it take self convincing? thats one of the reasons religion was invented because people didnt want to believe they were here for no reason. atheist dont believe that there is this "big plan" that god has or what not. they just live life to the best because they are lucky to get a shot at life and dont spend their whole life worrying about an afterlife.

  • @ChamorruWarrior It is sad & horrible that so many people have to believe in gods in order to feel there is reason & purpose to their life. Rather than making their life the best it can be, they imagine an ultimate father figure giving them purpose. That purpose is to spend eternity worshipping it. What kind of worthy purpose is that?

  • How do you say that because you believe in God that makes it so you cannot "Make your life the best it can be" ??? What does that mean? Does God hold anyone back in life? I want to be married to a beautiful Catholic woman and become a Chiropractor and help many people the way my chiropractor helped me. I have the girl (Which is it's own God is awesome story) and I'm in training to be a Chiropractor, and I'm having fun doing what I love training MMA off to the side. So God held me back?

  • @ChamorruWarrior Your evidence for god is that you have a baby girl?

  • @DevilChao5 No. It's that his virgin wife had a baby girl.

  • @DevilChao5 - So is testicular cancer evidence of God too? Or just the "nice" things?

  • @ChamorruWarrior I empathize with your notion, but I find it foolish for us to just assume there is a reason. Babies die all the time, what is their reason for ever being born? What is the reason for a person to come into this world diseased from birth, unable to function in day to day life without assistance. Some people are born with absolutely NO conscious understanding of what's going on around them. What is the reason for that? Reason is a human concept, not a universal one.

  • @viletree But if Matt goes to hell when he dies, that will show his earthly life had meaning!

  • @viletree jesus is a pretty cool guy he loves and forgives and doesn't afraid of anything

  • @viletree you poor thing. You are a true sheep. God was Created by Humans.

  • @viletree Or.. you are wrong. Had you considered that? Please don't be close minded.

  • Mat you were a big part of what changed my life. Thank you.

  • Love what Mattsays about "there is always someone else watching." Engaging in the debate isn't necessarily about winning; it's about getting the information out there to those who need and want to hear it.

  • @MizManagement I wonder if he was aware of just how ironic that statement is.

    "Theres is always someone else watching"

  • brazil!

  • I want to be just like Matt when I grow up, that is, after I die and God decides that I am worthy enough to be once again reincarnated as a human. :-)

  • post videos up on "The Youtube" haha showing your age there

  • MAtt is one of the most informed person on the program, he practically knows what callers are asking for, futher advantaged by his years as a theist/christian.

    Awesome guy. Keep it up MAtt.!!!

  • Matt Dillahunty is probably one of the most inherently good people on this earth today.

  • @betterdrummerjoe Matt Dillahunty is a good person, what you said was an exaggeration

  • @vindelextreme Nice literary skills. I'm proud of you for being able to pick out my intentional exaggeration.

  • @betterdrummerjoe you know what, im proud of myself too. u were testing me, and i passed. yaaaa aaaaaaa

  • @vindelextreme Yep, gold star.

  • Thank you Matt. You changed my life.

  • I've sent emails from Brazil, he answered and I was amazed.

  • holland here. all of you are doing a great job! TheThinkingAtheist and AtheistExperience, keep it up :)

  • As if there wasn't already good reason to like Matt, he got the name of my country right, it's Great Britain, England is just a little bit of the union, it would be like referring to the USA as Texas!

    Matt, gotta love yah!

  • Lebanese atheists need helo to abolish sectarianism in lebanon!

    In lebanon (At best) we're recognised as communists, or demons!

  • @mogul50 Same in Romania, atheists are called communists. And the Romanian Orthodox Church (ROC) is majoritary and is spreading some dishonest propaganda with the title „The Prisons' Saints” in which they claim all the people killed in the communists prisons where killed for orthodox christian beliefs (lie), not because they opposed the communist regime, while the official policy ROC was to collaborate tightly with the communists, even betraying Romanians. Non-orthodox prisoners are downplayed.

  • @ZergAteu That's terrible as well.

  • @mogul50 Yes, imagine! ROC allied with the communists to destroy the Greek Catholic Church (GCC). The GCC officially opposed the communists and the communists made it illegal 1948 while giving all its properties to the ROC.(GCC forcefully made in 1700 from orthodoxy)

    After the official fall of the communist regime, atheists are officially only 0,1% of the population and they claim the communist regime was an atheistic regime. Makes you wonder where did the atheists disappeared if this was true.

  • I have never seen matt with a decent camera. It'd be real cool if they fun-raised for a more eye pleasing set for the show.

  • I totally haven't uploaded over 160 atheist experience clips...

  • My favorite public outspoken atheist.

    Forgive me Hitch!

  • ...Posting them on YouTube...

    CRAP! MATT'S ONTO US! FLEE!

  • I loved this 3 part interview. Well done yet again, Seth!

  • Matt should be a public speaker for all atheists, he should be invited in news stations every time some separation of church and state shows up. He would own so much since he has so much knowledge on religion.

  • looks like Jesus does not approve

  • Matt D. and the Atheist Experience are a glimmer of light in the darkness of a religion torn world. I would not be surprised if this show continues to grow until it is one of the best examples of what atheism really is, educating people and showing them that it is OK to be atheist.

    Who knows... though I anticipate the statistics of the atheist community before/after this show aired.

  • love this video
