Yay Emily! My channel is about to pull a Lazarus as well! I will think of a question for you later. Regarding the name of the series, how about "Questions Only God Can't Answer"? Hmmm? LOL... Great to see you back. I'll have a spanking new video out in just a few hours. Hey, weren't we passively considering collaborating on something a while back? Since we're both returning, I think we should pursue that. Cheers!
When do you feel you became a skeptic? I know this is a wierd questions, the fact is I was raised not to care about religion really, and have pretty much always consdered myself an atheist, although didn't think much about it until I reached my teens. Around my late teens around 18, we got a task at college, two groups, one to prove the moonlanding was true, and one to disprove it, and I was leaning towards it being not true at the time, but ended in the "prove it's true".
@medallish and it really opened up my eyes to how idiotic some of these claims of why it should be false were, and I felt from that moment I learned to think more skeptical of things, and not just buy into anything, do you have such a moment yourself?
It is my impression that ex-believers are more vocal than life long atheists. Do you think ex-believers are more vocal and if so, why do you think it is so?
I have an explanation of my own, but I want to hear yours.
@BigMonkeyOnAStick I forgot, most people count years starting January 1. When I think in terms of personal projects I go by my birthday as the beginning of the year (August 2nd). So lots of time left :)
Do you believe that atheists that have come out of a religion find it is easier to argue the atheist/rationalist point of view ? Doe's it give them better perspective over those of us life long atheists
I've been thinking about raising my future children as Free Thinkers. I'm going to teach them to think openly and question everything. When they turn 16, i'm going allow them to go to church to develop their own mind about Religion. Did your parents do this with you? and, Do you think its a good idea?
Could you go indepth on your general reaction to your parents raising you atheist. I am raising my children to be atheists, and I have ZERO guide books available to me to help. Perhaps point out some of the ways your parents raised you to be atheist.
@cosmicforums Helping atheist parents is actually one of the main reasons I started my channel! I will try to come up with something to address this in the first few wednesdays of this project, but could you PM me any specific questions you would want addressed or situations you have run into because of being an atheist parent and wished you had a guide for? It would really help me zero in on one (or more) topics for a response. Thanks!
Q: My name is Bella, I'm 12 years old and I'm an atheist. My middle school is 95% Christian, and a lot of people are beginning to talk about their religion. When people ask me I will tell them that I'm an atheist, but I'm starting to get a lot of attention for it. A family member said I should say I am agnostic, because its less harsh, but I feel like I wouldn't be being true to myself. I know you went through something similar so what do you think? Thanks. Bella
@bbellac If I could jump in, you might ask them if they believed in the gods Thor or Zeus or Ra. They'll say no, and you could just you believed in one less god than they do.
Do you think you have less of a chip on your shoulder on average than the person who was devoutly religious for decades and realized they devoted their life to something that they know realize as utterly stupid?
@HonestDiscussioner ex-relgious people have a chip on their shoulder about being atheists? I'm not sure I know what form this chip takes.... please elaborate so I can understand what you're talking about. (maybe in PM?)
Don't worry about videos. I do have English questions for you whenever you're around though. I still need to think about what to ask again. At the same time I've not bothered to upload videos consistently. I must ask though would you like to see more of a let's play of Star Trek: Legacy!
@Majoofi Those are the large, concrete wave breakers next to the port in Nice, France where I am doing a semester of my MBA. I was trying to find a place to record that had Nice in the background, but realized too late that a sunny Sunday afternoon is filled with screaming children and noisy traffic almost everywhere. Thus, to the port I fled and tucked myself near the very confused French fishermen, one of whom came over to see if I was OK (see outtakes)
Question: Atheist have no holy book to live by, so please explain how Atheists establish their moral codes, between right and wrong...good and evil, or is everything just personal preferences?
@PeaceInChristAlone Although not a question to me specifically, I feel that this could be pertinent since I was raised sans religion, thus people might wonder how I became such an ethical and kind person :) *innocent look*
That wasn't a plane. It was God being rude. He's like that.
