  • "We believe that we deserve it." Wait... for one, stop saying 'we'. What do YOU believe. Also, unless you have, at some point physically set fire to your god, and watched him burn, what could you have possibly have done to deserve the same? Ignored him? Cursed? This shit is torture worthy? So... What your saying is you intentionally worship a psychopath who sets fire to people for no reason? You are an idiot.

  • Who else facepalmed when he said "they aren't thinking for themselves!"?

    Just...the sheer ignorance in that statement astounded me.

  • No matter how many times I hear from this guy, he never even tries to back up his claims. He's one of the worse cases of being successfully brainwashed that I've seen. He just recites the same thing whenever he's cornered because he simply has nothing else. This man has clearly *never* thought for himself in his life.

  • Just make balance more. Rather then saying I believe or not. Feels what is missing in you. To make balance. If you understand the energy whom is God. God is the positive power. If you cant feel the calmness of God then I am sure among the elements in you. You are not balance. Why act perfect then.

  • the world was dark and God said let there be light and God make the light day and the dark call night. There was hell in the begin of nature of man. Till Gods word says after that there is light in the spirit. as there was yang and ying. The body is joint with the spirit. Therefore, there is the body and spirit. The body is the negative with the positive spirit. I believe what God says in the bible is do not question who He was nor what ever else matters. Just know Him is there.

  • @kingdavidtaidawei Ok... And what if I told you that the god you speak of was once considered to be the god of war, and surrounded by other gods? Does it not make sense that a war god would have done all of those horrific things in the bible like telling people to kill their children, or telling armies to slaughter a town, kill the men and women and keep the female children for your wives? I think the flood is a pretty warlike thing to do. I see a lot of Yin, not so much Yang.

  • This guy is either a fake trying to make theist look bad, or he is a mentally challenged person who has been captured by religion. If it is the latter, this is actually a very sad video, but the saddest perhaps most revealing fact is that is very difficult to tell which is the case.

  • @SijanTower - "This guy is either a fake trying to make theist look bad, or he is a mentally challenged person..."

    Yes, later he turned out to be a troll.

  • I know Mark wasn't real.. (and now that I know it, it's obvious in the way he hesitates at hard questions instead of just going "no no no you've got it all wrong, God isn't like that") but he sure did a good job of promoting the Austin Stone church. I wonder if he brought the show to the attention of the church, and I wonder if their kids really are being deconverted.

  • He sounds a bit like Dane Cooke..his voice is so spot on 0_0

  • Christians say they can see god, does god have nipples?

  • @1991stratplus Wow, that's a creepy, yet interesting question.... lol

  • @skywize I didn't mean for it to be creppy, its just that Christians say that humans were created in gods image, so god should have nipples, pubic hair, penis, ears, eyes, nose, lips or whatever else we humans have, shouldn't he?... according to Christian beliefs. That's all. 

  • @1991stratplus Which begs some questions... Can he reproduce, does he, and was this intended by HIS creator? If you go back in his timeline, it makes sense. Since he was originally a Pagan god, he would have other gods to procreate with. Being a monotheistic god, these attributes would be utterly useless.

  • @skywize I have also read and have been told that myself as well as all atheists are idiots, And a reminder to this statement is it's Christians are the ones who follow people like Peter Popoff not atheists. Just thought i would throw that one out there, for shits a giggles.

  • It's pretty scary that there are actually people like this guy Mark alive in the 21st century.

  • Do a search for a video series called "you suck at photoshop"... sounds exactly like this guy

  • At the top of the list is laziness. Instead of asking an atheist, try doing 30seconds of research. I'm assuming you have access if you're reading this.

  • 20:50 "They just ask Matt and don't think for themselves"

    That was so ironic.

  • It's hilarious and ironic that this guy thinks Tracie and Russell are repulsive for sending his kids to hell when they would obviously never torture anyone forever, nor do they have the power to. And then when they say that God would be the one doing the torturing, he goes "well that's justified, because we deserve it." wtf..

  • Everything he says is,"we believe...." He cannot think for himself at all....so sad.

  • @Ledwix Actually, I think he sounds like he wants to be convinced not to believe and that's really why he keeps calling the show. He's just afraid of the possibility of a literal Hell and he understandably doesn't want to go there.

  • @Ledwix I once told a creationist that I didn't believe in God. Her exact words were "Well what are you supposed to worship, then?"

    These people have been taught to be nothing without religion. They've been taught that without God and without any kind of superior order/organization on which to cling, they are nothing. It truly is sad.

  • I thought it was Santa that lead you to hell ?

  • wtf is this dane cook?

  • Well we don't usually talk to Jehovah's witnesses lol'd my ass off

  • @helllspell I...I...I fund these things I don't actually do them, this guy his hurting my ribcage with laughter

  • "We believe". You know you got a problem when you say that

  • Mark was a fucking poe?!

    I have just as much of a problem with poes as I do with religion in general...

  • How does this idiot even breathe on his own??

    "My church does... My church believes... my church does..."

  • Was that EdwardCurrent?

  • This faking douche bag is not even Christian. Right out of the gate he reveals he's a prank when he says "my church is very fundamentalist". Fundamentalist is not a term Christians use to describe themselves. That plus the fact he's called under many different aliases means he's just trying to push their buttons as long as he can get away with it.

    I'm somewhat surprised for people who pride themselves on being skeptics it took them so long to figure this guy out.

  • @sweetsweatyfeet Actually the term was invented by Christians, they wanted to get back to the "fundamentals" of their religion

  • Whether it was a troll or not, it was a productive conversation.

  • As a father, trying to teach my 5 year old daughter what is right and what is wrong, I have been enlightened. Children have the purest, most non-biased judgement. They will accept and reject something purely based on like and dislike. As their reasoning gets more comprehensive as they grow, they tend to see better through bullshit than an adult seemingly ever could.

    There is a reason that the naked emperor was called out for not having clothes by a child.

    Listen to your kids.

  • The quality of this video is SUPERB compared to most. Can you share where you are getting them from? Are you recording them from TV directly?

  • ...wouldn't a being who created all humans and knows their flaws (which he also created) not even be able to be offended by the actions of humans? It's like stealing a dollar from a millionaire: the millionaire won't be bothered by someone stealing a dollar from him at all, much less kidnap that person and torture them in his basement.

  • Comment removed

  • Tracie is maybe my new favorite. Her responses are logical, deadpan and maybe will lead these nuts to truth as fast as anything else.

  • These people need to be fucking stopped.

  • Tracie has such a mesmerising voice. :)

  • According to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, given enough time hell will freeze over.

  • @setmedic Then the Eagles will reform.

  • Tracie's awesome.

  • Wow, he's more brainwashed than a Ron Paulite.

  • This caller is HILARIOUS

  • Didn't know dane cook called into this show

  • Mark may be a troll, but Reuben drives me nuts.

  • Tracie makes too much sense.

  • WOW is this as bad as fundamental islam?....

  • Why is understanding HELL important to anyone else except your church? Later in the segment you said "your feared hell". You heard this damnation story then passed it on to your children. Seems that you created your own problem.

    Austin Stone and Mark is doing a great job at keeping the conversation alive. KEEP respecting freedom of speech and sharing your ideas. Also, the kids will be better American citizens for having been exposed to diverse ideas. Never let fear close down your mind.

  • I have found after watching a lot of these Atheist Experience videos that most Christians never actually answer the questions you ask them. They either give another question or some crazy tangent.

  • Comment removed

  • Yup; kids like the show and the only response the church can come up with are threats of eternal torture. Facts 1, Myths 0.

  • For some reason hes proud of being a fundamentalist..

  • Wait was he a troll in that he is just acting like a stupid Christian? Or he actually IS this stupid?

  • russell glasser was obviously never taught how to talk to people properly growing up. he's like a retarded, sarcastic child who never learned his manners.

  • Dane Cook or Edward Current...

  • This sounds like Dane Cook...

  • does anyone else think the caller sounds like dane cook?

  • I think Matt is a reincarnation of Jesus.

  • soo sad he was a troll when i first heared him i thought that he might care with what around him

  • The guy is very slow ....

  • "MY CHURCH BELIe...hgGAghauhggahg" <----Me, tired of waiting for an actual answer, effin STRANGLING the guy

  • What a moron hahaha

  • omg, this guy is scared to DEATH! Please, someone save him from this madness.

  • "we" , he can't even think for himself on a phone call.

  • I like when Matt calls. I am learning so much from the hosts because of his ignorance.

  • Sounds a bit like edward current???????????????

  • Is there a episode online where some of the kids are calling in?

  • @joergus

    - "Is there a episode online where some of the kids are calling in?"

    No, 'Mark' turned out to be a troll.

  • @TheAtheistExperience

    Really? So it wasn´t the real mark or was he all about just talking crap? How did it turned out? I loved almost every episode where matt owend mark.. :-/

    Greetings from austria!

  • @TheAtheistExperience

    I just figured out, how to read the description of this video! :-D Never mind. Keep up the good work, im looking forward if i can do a similar show in the long run here in austria. But thats a future vision. greetings from austria Jörg (Joe)

  • @TheAtheistExperience Is this an actual show that still runs? And on what channel, or what is the channel name? 

  • @dolerbom

    - "Is this an actual show that still runs? And on what channel, or what is the channel name?"

    The Atheist Experience is a local television show from Austin, Texas. It's only on the local cable television network there, but you can also follow the live shows on Ustream.tv and on Channel Austin's live stream (channel 16). Shows are archived on Blip.tv. This is a fan channel, but I try to upload the new shows weekly. Older shows can be found on the DonBakerTheAtheist channel.

  • @TheAtheistExperience Oh god... ustream... When will people learn Justin/Twitch is best =<

  • @TheAtheistExperience Really? Had me going.

  • @TheAtheistExperience Really? How do you know he was trolling? You mean it was a prank call?

  • @antibulletdodger101

    - "Really? How do you know he was trolling? You mean it was a prank call?"

    A series of prank calls, sometimes under different names. When people started to recognize his voice, he revealed himself as an annoying troll on the (old) Atheist Experience blog, where he got banned. So yes, unfortunately this clown was fake, but the hosts are not, so the discussions are still entertaining.

  • @joergus she destroyed that caller

  • Mark has a huge crush on Tracy, dammit. He calls every time she's on the show.

  • Wow, I hope Mark doesn't really believe what he's saying. 2000 years ago, only the elite were literate and as such, they subverted the truth to make slaves out of common people. Mark is a product of this.

  • i'm sorry if this sounds like an ignorant question.. but what's a troll? Sorry i'm not familiar with youtube terminology

  • @casablanca4381

    - "but what's a troll? Sorry i'm not familiar with youtube terminology"

    Are you familiar with Google?

  • @casablanca4381 A troll is a person who is intentionally riling up or otherwise manipulating people. If I went to a Justin Bieber fanpage just to bash him and get people angry, I would be a troll. If I called an atheist show and pretended to be a fundie, and asked stupid questions just so that they could intellectually beat me to a pulp, I would be a troll.

  • The guy shows no indication that he is thinking about what he's saying, he's just spewing information about his church

  • i love this guy!!!

  • This was a boring atheist experience show!

  • @Almamater8888 Yes. The hosts had one caller on for far too long...

  • Can you spell "Cult"...

    Man Made god, Not, god Made Man - The best way to stay "Stupid" is to believe in gods and religion.

  • If u tell someone that Santa is not real, I will still be happy man as his presents will not appear mysteriously. If I tell someone that god is not real, some old Dick gonna have boring date with Mr. Hands

  • wtf, this guy must be retarded

  • At this point, his voice just makes me want to cry. The sighs, however, make me want to scream.

  • Once upon a time, I wanted to date Jessica Alba. After watching a few of these shows, I now want to marry Tracie Harris.

  • wtf is wrong with his brain?

  • LMFAO.....the long sigh that the caller makes after Tracie's question....got that hamster wheel spinning for a moment!!

  • It's great to hear that young people are investigating different viewpoints. That's the only way to make intelligent, informed choices.

    Note to young people : Google K-T Boundary to see how we know that the Genesis story is wrong. Big dinosaurs like T Rex died out 65 million years ago. No humans were around for millions of years after that - like 64.9 million years. Genesis says that all land animals, including T Rex, and humans were created on the same day.

    Bible -- not even close.

  • @ndrthrdr1 No truth to Genesis story means no Adam and Eve means no Original Sin means no need for Jesus to save people who are "born in sin".

    My heart goes out to the caller. He's sincere in his belief, and his concern is understandable, but he simply doesn't understand the simple question "Why do you believe what you believe?" People with delusional beliefs have to do mental gymnastics to avoid that question, because there's no reasonable or honest answer that supports their beliefs.

  • Is it just me or does that d-bag guy sound like dane cook.

  • @dj69918

    Dude it does sound dane cook!!!!

  • @dj69918 "My parents took me to a fundamentalist church and told me it was 'ka-ra-te'."

  • TAE is making children realize that they are being fed bullshit? GOOD.

    Those people feeding the children BS get worried? EVEN BETTER!

    And this asshole dares saying that the atheists are hideous.. Fuck this! He scares his children with the ultimate boogeyman and the atheists are hideous?!

    Basic difference between theists and atheists: the second ar not afraid do debate. The first is, because it can´t debate. Dogma does not allow such even if it´s blatantly wrog.

  • this guy would win on the dancing stars show the way he dances around their questions

  • Huge fan of Tracie, smart women are so sexy!

  • I like Mark, he really doesn't seem to be a bad sort of guy (assuming he's not a troll), He's not amazingly bright and he's obviously misguided but he's genuine and tries to be reasonable - more than most Christians can manage.

  • @trewornan

    - "I like Mark ... (assuming he's not a troll)"

    Unfortunately he IS a troll. See the Atheist Experience blog for details.

  • @TheAtheistExperience I love your show but you guys should make it clear in the title that the caller is a troll so that I don't waste 30 minutes watching what I think is a genuine religious debate.  Also, it kinda unfairly makes Austin Stone look bad.

  • @trewornan Amazingly bright?!?!?!?! Did you just listen to the same thing I did? He sounds the complete opposite to me.

  • "There is a logical argument, my preacher told us...."

    Oh really? That's it? That's your sole basis behind why you think those claims are true? What if your preacher told you that he flew to the sun this morning and back because he was bored at home? Would you believe that too? LOL dumbass Christians.

  • I had some early sympathy with Mark, who I thought was a guy just trying to work through the issues. Of late, however, he's been calling the show under fake names. His behaviour has become increasingly trollish.

  • He says thats not something they do (talk to jehova's wittness or other people in general outside their faith) but he calls up an atheist show, and he states that they send missionaries all over the world. Its like contradiction is built into his language, its amazing.

  • lol,someone watch simpsons? that guy is like- " "What about the children?! Won't somebody please think of the children?!" :DD

  • Epic pwnage, Tracie, epic

  • I'm not kidding, I really think this guy, Mark, is truly a dullard. He is unable to comprehend a simple question and give any answer that does not start with "well, in my church we believe...." Thank God I don't think like Mark.

  • @coolgreyoneabby

    I think you're kind to assume he does in fact think at all.

  • Unbelievers like weed... well that's good enough for me ;)

  • I think there is only one thing that we can all agree on...

    Matt is awesome!

  • I like those kids, who became fans of Matt. I,d like to suggest other you tube videos to them. Ricky Gervais, Bible Reading and Ricky Gervais Noah Ark. I'm sure they love them.

  • "We think....we think" I had wondered what happened to the borg, now I know.

  • "We think....we think" I had wondered what happened to the borg, now I know.

  • it's not science, it's bullshit

  • Mark is retarded. Plain retarded.

  • @sthral

    He's a troll.

  • Why do you believe these things? Tracie says she was brainwashed, and she got out of it. It's not science, not experiments, then what that fuck is it? Global missions? Mark you may be too far gone, but please make your kids more intelligent then yourself, at least give them a fighting chance..Allow them to develop grow and learn...

  • No Mark understands nothing outside his church, and as far as I can tell he doesn't even understand what his church says, Another sucker who is in ore of a charismatic preacher...All you salesman here is another sucker..Another totally deluded, fuck I could make a fortune from these people..

  • I was a bit nervous, couldn't give a fuck about your church...So your church condones free speech.. sermon on hell..Kids can't watch tv? they will burn in hell? So you worship someone who will burn your kids? He can't even answer this..It's a simple yes/no answer.Mark you are totally and utterly deluded..I feel really sorry for your kids...

  • Can't tell if trolling or just stupid.

  • i like the way he keeps saying ..WE beilve,,dude do u not have a mined of your own, 2 b honest it make me sad to my heart that theys people are so brainwashed,i pitty their children..

  • @stevenut88 - nope. He doesn't have his own beliefs at all. He has dogma, which has replaced any and all ability he might have had to reason as an individual. When questioned, all these people can do is fall back on the cult talking points.

  • I know this is completely inappropriate, but Tracie's hot.

  • I hope everyone knows by now Mark is a FAKE caller whos called in under other assumed aliases. Hes been string them along for months but it seems the folks at A.E. have not clued into his many voices and accents.

  • Two thumbs up for Tracie. People blindly accept with no proof.

  • @999YORK Look up his 'conversation with an atheist' skit, he gets cheered just for saying he was raised a christian.

  • I could swear that is Dane Cook.

  • @ajaxblackburn46 lol, spot on, sir. Spot on.

  • ****FOR THOSE WHO FEAR "HELL"****

    Study ancient mythologies from many cultures, you will learn that "hell" isnt unique to Christianity and that it is almost on every culture. Specifically, learn the "how" and "why" this phenomenon got started. If you want, I can enlighten you further via PM but not via comments, too tedious (; ATHEISTS RISE

  • he is like a new brm. now i understand why are they called born again.

  • Why would I take my children to a church that merely restricts their behaviour out of fear? Isn't it better to take them to a place where they are enticed to learn something interesting, to study some interesting subject or work for a better world? Isn't it better to teach them to enjoy life?

  • Tracie is awesome...TRUTH!

  • Kids like those in that church give me hope for the future,I hope they free their minds one day.

  • Mark is Robbie the robot

  • Mark is a FAKE!!! He called in last week as 2 different people! Wasn't so difficult to recognize his fake accents.

  • 8:49 

  • Someone should just tell this guy "Dude...that's FUCKED UP."

  • "It's not shocking..."

    Yes, it is - and it's MORE shocking that he and his kind DON'T find it shocking.

    "Our preacher told us..." ad nauseum. I hope his preacher doesn't tell him to kill anybody...

    I do recommend Matt Carter's sermon on heaven and hell - it makes Xianity look like a death cult. Were it not for the proscription against suicide, I think they would all have gone outside and killed themselves. MC himself, though, is really likeable and engaging - a shame he's peddling snake oil.

  • I wonder if the words “Yes or No” are in Mark’s vocabulary? He can’t answer a straight up question! He ducks and dives continually, that is why he believes this crap! He obviously cannot think for himself, everything he seems to believe is what his church/pastor told him… BTW, I’ve got some magic beans I want to sell him… Wakeup Mark!!!

  • Love how Tracie takes notes when Mark talks about kids getting caught watching this show

  • The caller's church....maybe a state mental hospital.

  • This Mark guy sounds like Dane Cook.

  • Tracie's*

  • Fuck I love Tracy's rants <3

  • Mark: "...You're leading our kids to--"

    Tracy: "Truth!"

    Priceless!

  • Mark's voice sounds like Chmmr.

  • I think the caller was bluffing when he said the parents would disown their kids.

    It was most likely a sly way of trying to make the hosts feel guilty.

    Telling the hosts the parents are grounding the kids didn't work, so he adds that the parents would spank some of them. That didn't work so he then says the parents cut their internet. That didn't work, so he had to bring out the big guns and say the parents would disown them. What a dick!

  • I feel soo sad when I hear people like Mark. With possibly the best of intentions, this poisoning of the mind is indeed heart wrenching.

  • @BarryE1958 Well said!!!

  • Pobrecitos esos fanaticos, que lavado de cerebro tan arrecho.

  • @elcaricaturable como siempre

  • "we fund them, we pray for them" why not just pray for them? unless maaaaaayybbbee that wont help?

  • OHH Mark when will you ever learn...

  • This caller deserves to burn in hell for draaaaaaggggging on his sentences.

  • This guy is a fucking moron. Tired of his shit
