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.

  • @cpufightclub The point is that atheism isnt out to PROVE anything its a rejection of the idea of god.

  • @cpufightclub No! Atheism is nothing but a lack of belief in God(s). Nothing else! There are many Atheists who realize that Religion has and is still causing so much violence and harm to people.

    I think i've lost count on how many times i've been told that i deserve eternal torture.

    The burden of proof still lies on theists who are making a claim that God(s) exist.

  • Also; theologians in the 4th century proposed that the "creation" as in Genesis wasn't literal, they put forward the proposal it was instant; how accurate was that ? Thought and contemplation and deductive argument I'm sure for that; but certainly not ignorance

  • There is absolutely no problem in believeing in a creative power beyond our comprehension; and therefore how we; as thinking beings, might relate to it and with it .... is there ? Some people want it to be aliens after all; the only difference is in what one desires in that situation.

  • Oooops; thought I had been blocked

  • Wanker

  • Atheism takes pride in being created by the very religious people they disassociate with. The agenda of despotic men have left fools arguing over filler. Perhaps it is man that should not have pride in their beliefs. Humanity tends to be foolish. The Universe is the creator. It is simple.

  • @66gt40lm And you are quite right; I don't know that God either, I don't know where people get him from; or is it her ? I can never remember which gender..tut tut..... but of course there isn't one

  • @66gt40lm Of course you are entitled to your opinion on the Bible and God; that's all it is, but lets stick to the science bit and ignorance. In the 4th century, theologians proclaimed that the 7 days in Genesis was actually metaphorical, not literal. Their claim was that the world was made instantly. How accurate was that ? And this was deduced by thought process; this doesn't sound like ignorance to me

  • @66gt40lm But the Big Bang is power; power enough to create this whole existence; all the stars and universes and cosmos. Lets take it step by step. That there is a power so beyond our comprehension and understanding exists is believed by astronomers, physicists, scientists, cosmologists ... whatever ... this power by whatever name you wish to give it ... is in motion, is factual, we see it and sense it all around us. To argue against this creative force is to argue against the Big Bang

  • @no1hoopsman I am denying that your claim of a power can exist. Once you provide me with some evidence, maybe I'll believe he exists. Either way, unless God directly tells me the Bible is wrong, I wouldn't worship him because he is a disgusting, hateful, immoral, proinfantifcide, progenocide, proslavery, sexist, rasist and homophobic according to your Bible. I might believe he exists, but I will never worship that fucking pile of garbage. I'm better than the God portrayed in your silly book.

  • @no1hoopsman There is something unreasonable about it when there is no evidence for it! I suggest you stop believing shit on faith and actually think rationally instead of believing you have a special friend in the sky who created you. It could be true, but if it is, I highly doubt it's any God we've thought of. Considering all of the Gods we've created are immoral, hateful and laughable absurd, I can safely conclude that your God is not for good or has any positive objective.
