What is The Atheist Experience?

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at an atheist and non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin (ACA), a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

Where do I sign up to sell my soul to the Pursuit of Reason? Can't think of anything better to sell it for.

[futurepsycdoc]

How do you think they got to where they are? Most atheists are well-read in theology and see it's weaknesses. This is what causes them to question the claims they make and realize it doesn't hold up to science (what we have proven as truth).

Morals is a great example. Religions teach that you need a god-figure for morals. The fact is that we have had morals since before religions were created.

Religion equals crediting/blaming god for what occurs. Science looks for proof and replication.

arguments on morality based on proven facts... like? or am i to have faith that he is not lying as well?

Does anyone know the song playing at the introduction of this video?

What is the going price for a 'soul'? Low mileage, no warped religious indoctrination (had that sh*t removed!). Send serious offers to me for consideration. Meanwhile it's off for some moral-free sinning!!! :D

I'm afraid I'm going to put an end to the conversation, you're starting to get angry and one needs to be calm when reflecting. I would have likes to, as Kant puts it, awaken you from your dogmatic slumbers, but I haven't.

I encourage you to read a little philosophy of science. Scientists are known for often being way behind in that domain and to paradoxicaly not really know the value of what they themseves are doing.

It was an entertaining discussion.

"Bonne continuation"

@futurepsycdoc

Atomism is a hypothesis. Which is the most plausible there is. Once again, if you reflected on the value of the concepts you use, you wouldn't be so dogmatic.

[resendess]

@futurepsycdoc

"The way things actually work" is a metaphysical statement. It is therefore not what contemporary science claims to acceed to. You obviously haven't read much.

[resendess]

@futurepsycdoc

I'm astounded at how little understanding you possess. I never said that because I can imagine the contrary, the contrary is true. Only, the fact that you can imagine the contrary without contradiction shows that the contrary is not illogical. And therefore that reality is not "logical" = concieved as necessary = understood in the strong sense.

@resendess

I'm trying to get you to the modern day, but some are more difficult to lead than others. You may, however, need to catch-up with us on your own time. It seems we have progressed you by a century in a day, so that's not too shabby. Pretty soon you may even have your thoughts in reality.

[futurepsycdoc]

@resendess

If you would spend more time studying science instead of philosophy, you wouldn't make such incorrect statements. There is a massive amount of evidence that atoms exist. The science that is used to support their existence is dogmatic, but the knowledge of their existence is not. Are you just wasting my time because that is something I would expect from someone in middle school at the latest.
