Another Whacked Out View of Atheism - Atheist Experience #434

Ashley and Matt respond to an article entitled, "If You're Gonna Be An Atheist, At Least Get It Right". The article tries to explain the failure of atheism. The only failure was the author. Ashley Perrien and Matt Dillahunty host this clip from The Atheist Experience #434 - http://www.atheist-experience.com

The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin. The ACA is a non-profit organization, promoting positive atheism and the separation of church and state. If you would like to donate please do so at http://www.atheist-community.org/donate/

I checked my atheism in for the weekend and went Christian again for a change. It was odd being instantly sexist, racist, bigoted, and condemning the heathen non-believers to an eternity of hell.

All theists incorrectly believe that their holy books contain morality. They don't.  There's a big difference between obedience out of fear of the ultimate punishment and considering the ramifications of one's actions and then choosing the path of least damage/ most good.

That article was completely disingenuous.

@Kailoa36 true, although to be honest, I doubt very much that he genuinely 'tried on' atheism. I think he added that preface to give himself some kind of high ground, so he could claim to have seen the flaws within. He sounds like a smug prick to me.

you guys rock

@Kailoa36 said in the video already~

[Kailoa36]

The writer's claim that he "tried on atheism" and didn't like it is like some guy putting on a dress for 5 minutes and then saying, "OK, now I understand women." Gong! Big failure. But hey! We have a great consolation prize for you: Ridicule.

@ChipArgyle precisely--but like most big businesses, they are gonna fight tooth and nail to retain their hold on the mindless masses -- the all mighty dollar will always win out over common decency in these types of situations....

[ChipArgyle]

@sepiasiren You nailed it. What do they have to gain by doing that? Collection fees on Sundays. It's just another big business. Tax it to kill it.

@ThePoiuytrewq232 Apparently you didn't watch the video. My post is a sarcastic response to the reporter mentioned in the video. There might be some truth in there as well :) Cheers!

@ChipArgyle that is how they control the minds of the masses. We are all evil sludge you see and we need a Supreme being of greater good to scare us straight--a crock of nonsense, other wise we would be out raping pillaging and killing up one another on the daily--we live in a Christian nation and none of these things have been abolished in site of belief in a Higher Power...just sad
