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.

you have religions to examine, so then what is the scientific reason they exist? that is the irony, you claim that there is nothing, but that's not true. You have billions of people for thousands of years believing in gods. Darwin observed that life adapts to its environment. What proof do you guys have that darwin got it wrong?

(facts are a bitch)

Tracie pegged it exactly; you either have something that manifesting or you dont. And if it manifest you have something to examine. And if its not manifesting you have nothing. There is either nothing there or there is something there. If there is something there you can examine it, and if you have nothing to examine then that is nothing. ;O)

@sabin97 And by modern symbolism I don't mean just in the church but in everyday life; just as I've stated about US going to war; God Bless America when sending the troops to foreign lands to kill is exactly that, and if you object or query it, you are a traitor. This symbolism is all around us in society; ghost writers are accepted for film stars and celebrities who can't write their own "autobiography"....have a thought about that

[no1hoopsman]

@sabin97.... an example of the moral sense would be christ's washing of disciples feet symbolizing our obligation to serve our neighbours humbly....anagogical sense would be christs's healing of the blind to symbolise his complete healing of our spiritual blindness in heaven's beatific vision. These are just some examples of syombolism in the bible and the church today, but this symbolism is alive and well and accepted in our modern society of course

[no1hoopsman]

@sabin97 ......eg: Old law = old test, new law = new test, future glory = heaven. Allegorical sense would be Moses (sym of JC) leads Hebrews (sym of church; christ's body) through the exodus (sym of salvation) from slavery (sym of sin) to Pharoah (sym of satan (?) ruler of egypt (sym of fallen world) across red sea (sym of death) through wilderness (sym of purgatory) to the promised land (sym of heaven) .....

@sabin97 No it didn't, that the guy died is most likely true, that God did it for not impregating the woman, no chance, but that this was misused; undoubtedly, that it happesn today, definately, God bless the US going to war is exactly the same...get that ? The symbolism is about one part of reading the bible; it is full of parables and images and symbolism. This has been known for centuries. I will give you an example......

@no1hoopsman

my bad, but your previous post about all the "religious symbolism" sounded like you were making up excuses for the authors of the bible(or as some call it, "the word of god") telling deliberate lies. so we're back on track

the authors lied in those passages we were discussing. is it possible they lied in other parts? also jesus says the law(or as you call it, "the old law") is still valid, so whom should you believe?
