Oklahoma Freethought Convention 2011 (speech 3 of 5) - The Thinking Atheist

A former Christian of 30 years (including 12 years as a Christian broadcaster), Seth ultimately found the bible's answers to Life, The Universe and Everything to be profoundly lacking. He finally became skeptical of the teachings of his religious upbringing and culture to began "thinking" for himself, and he encourages others to do the same. A professional video producer and recent apostate, he now challenges the claims of his former faith through videos, podcasts and the TTA online community: (www.thethinkingatheist.com).

This is Seth's first official public appearance as a non-believer.

I have a hard time believing this is Seth's face. Not because it's not a good face... just because The Thinking Atheist always has been a voice, ya know :p sexy voice, too, ahahah.

creationist: "god is good, he's able"

Atheist: "what do you mean he's able?"

creationist: "he controls everything on earth, he watches over you and me"

Atheist: "is that so, well how come there's so much bad happening why don't god just stop all bad since he's in control?"

creationist: "well see, it doesn't work like that he can't intervene"

Atheist: "but you just said he's in control. basically he's able but not willing to stop all the bad"

creationist: "it's hard to explain, just have faith"

@thewheel246 No, I'm not joking as a matter of fact. Both of those (as well as others) have been documented as deliberately undertaking actions that will lead to their deaths. This doesn't even consider all the female spiders that allow their babies to eat them and such, also acts of suicide (but instinctive rather than emotional). Besides, why would I need mental therapy for stating a fact? It's akin to saying "YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EARTH IS ROUND? SEEK COUNSELING NOW!"

@LukeShetler ~ Also, the Genesis myth cannot be anything but a Myth. Days and Nights even exist before God creates the sun.
