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.

  • "God needs soldiers"? What happened to being all-powerful?

  • It is funny how there proof is always based on what we cant know. It's as if they re admitting to setting up an argument from ignorance.

    We cant know ... therefore ... God

  • God exists... crucially, perhaps even life-threateningly for some... for the Iraqi mother who lost her husband and 2 children in a bomb blast; for the young Romanian man living in a run-down apartment, working 10 hour shifts a day, earning the equivalent of $2 an hour; for the orphan Ethiopian girl raising her sisters alone. I'm an atheist. But I dare not argue religion with 2/3 of the world. For many, the idea of equality, justice and love (aka religion) is the only thing keeping them alive.

  • Again I see you pretending that science is making claims against god, or a higher power, and it just does not address these questions in any way.

  • @flatop59 I have read the bible. Have you read anything else? I asked for evidence twice, and all you've replied with is attacks on my character and other non-answers. If you're not a "newbie christian," then you should be capable of a better response. I'm starting to think you're either a troll, or just so delusional that you're incapable of forming a coherent thought. However, I'm willing to give you one final chance. Evidence or GTFO. 

  • @WhosAsking03 You are a Lord Of the Rings...Read the bible your self and learn something,quit your whining.You atheistic head bangers wouldn't believe in zip if it was handed to you on silver plate.And if it was,ya still wouldn't... Reason,,,you like to argue! Your wasting my time,go pick on a newbie Christian. you just might feel worthy!

  • @flatop59 What death reports match up with biblical text? At best, they're anecdotal testimony, which isn't reliable to support the claim that a god exists. The ONLY accounts of Jesus are in the bible. There are zero, extra-biblical accounts of his life. The bible is just a book. You don't think Harry Potter is real, do you? The Lord of the Rings?  One cannot deny something that hasn't been shown to exist. Scientific evidence, or GTFO.

  • @WhosAsking03 Yes it does!! theres 1000s of after death reports that are similar and match up with biblical text pal...thats the evidence..Get your head out of the sand!!!! Research it and shut up about scientific evidence.You atheists are rebellious against God .Proof??? There was proof when Christ was on earth and old testament. People still denied like you...(YOU CHOSE TO DENY)===(Rebellion).do you understand that? or deny it!

  • @flatop59 People during Voltaire's time didn't know nearly as much about how reality works as we do now. People who are about to die are often desperate and scared. How does any of that make the claim that a god exists true? Desperate, malfunctioning brains do not prove god exists. Present some scientific evidence, or GTFO.

  • Hears mine! Famous writer Atheist (Voltaire).The Physician waiting up with Voltaire at his death,said that he cried out with utter desperation, I am abandoned by God and man, I will give you half of what i am worth if you give me six months of life,then I shall go to Hell and you go with me,Oh, Christ ,Jesus Christ. Thats just one of many ive accounts I researched on Athiests death bed testimonies. No God??? Your death bed will tell you then Matt,and all the people you deceived, sad buddy!

  • @bkeay100 Apperently you are someone who understands these arguments.

    Please, by all means, explain why they are valid.

    One at a time if you don't mind...

    I was actually talking about the "average theist", but lets hear it...

  • @Zentz29

    Zentz

    The Cosmological, Anthropological,Ontological.Te­leological, and Christological arguments for the existence of God, are neither "vague" nor "stupid" And have not been to my knowledge successfully refuted by the most brilliant atheist thinkers.

    I am sorry for you that the Theists you engage in discussion provide "vague statements & stupid reasons" for justifying their beliefs.

    The Classical Arguments are neither "vague nor stupid..
