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.

A prophecy like the one Matt made would probably use the terms "hairless" instead of bald, and "flaming tunic" instead of "flames on his shirt".

@DEEPTHROAT36 How about a gay female Jew in Afghanistan?

[bigredphenom]

in fact you are SO safe and secure that you have to PRETEND that you are in danger because you have gotten so BORED from the safety. you go on about your struggles, and how god is testing you, that you have the hardest life. you live in such privileged times but religion doesnt want you to feel this way. they cant sell a heaven in a perfect world. which is why for them, problems = profit. religion provides hope in a world ruined by religion. the most self-fulfilling vicious cycle ever

[bigredphenom]

we are living in the most safest times in human history. natural disasters are normal, the news is desperate for a story, quit watching it. if you swallowed religious propaganda of the world getting more and more dangerous, let me say this. during the neolithic era, people only lived to 20 and died from hunger, tooth decay or were cannibalized by fellow desperate tribesman. There were skeletons found of toddlers who were obviously eaten alive by an animal.

@JohnOfPinebrook What a stupid and snide question. I see many christians who wear not of this world shirts and stickers, same thing dumb ass. Dont you find that odd as well?

[MrMick73]

So Basically , God Poofed everything into existence from nothing with Magic.

How the Fuck could GOD, who has never had a conversation with anyone or anything ,has never had any experience or riden a bicycle , has never seen a turnip , come up with the idea of building a universe and complex life and then done it in 6 days. And why the hell would a GOD need a rest. If GOD is so powerful how come it needs a break on Sundays and Humans could so easily kill it on a cross. GOD SHMOD.

I predict that children will Mock Baldy and 40 She Bears will rip them limb from Limb.

The Bible is so full of shit. I read a childrens bible and it said ... in the Beggining God Made everything. Well that was simple you friggen Tards , no wonder people dont know anything if you say "GOD MAKES EVEYRTHING " Oh I dont , FUCKIGN GOD MADE IT !

[JohnOfPinebrook]

@freeofjesus I'm just interested. Your name is free of Jesus. Do you actually find your identity in not being associated with someone? Kind of odd?

[JohnOfPinebrook]

@MrMick73 People still eat during Ramadan dude. That doesn't make any sense.

I predict the new atheist movement will decline but atheism will rise in both philosophy and culture worldwide.

The Cheshire Cat predicted I'd be watching this on October 8th 2011. Close! So close!
