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.

Someone here said that science cannot account for 100% of all activity, therefore the explanation must be God. My favourite response to that argument is that "if medical science cannot explain 100% of all reproductive activities and outcomes (which it cannot), then we must believe the 'Stork theory' of reproduction."

@PppPlyr1 So you admit that your god isn't all knowing? Your god doesn't exist. Congrats. You theists keep trying to excuse everything we know that contradicts what a god should be that you end up making god pointless more and more. Pathetic.

I like to call that the "Idiot Argument". :)

I think though the problem with Jesus is that to fundies, being the infantile wastes of flesh that they are, they cannot fathom a state between either total acceptance of Jesus (including the godclaims.) (Which they ironically don't do, because they're fucking capitalists just to name ONE thing) or utter rejection of everything about Jesus.

So if you agree partially with Jesus, you must secretly believe their stupid religion is true! Particularly their retard brand of it too!

[TheSkunkCat]

Was Jesus morally correct? Obviously not on all issues and no one can agree on what issues either.

Me, I like that he's very anti-capitalist, I like that. I am too. However that seems to be the one part about Jesus (even though it's like a HUGE part of him) that no one seems to give two shits about. (And why I don't take christians seriously as a rule. They're just blathering bigots who don't even do the GOOD parts.)

But eh, no, Jesus wasn't consistently morally correct. So yeah.

[dannybagoo]

I can't agree more, this is amazing. I agree that Jesus was way more morally evolved that the general sample of the population back then. But the Bible was written hundreds of years after his death, and the stories of his powers are complete bullshit, same with the anti-gay rants. However, I do disagree in his moral argument, and I agree with the general moral argument of Jesus, maybe not his actions like you mentioned. Thanks for the video.

@PppPlyr1 Why is it, then, that God himself gave Moses the 10 Commandments, which say that if you don't obey all of your parents' orders or else you'll be taken to the edge of town and be stoned?

[kadirddemir]

is these couple still alive ?

[zacthebold]

@NewsyJackal I like that analogy, but I think it could be better. The stork theory is falsifiable, unlike god. What could you say that is ludicrous but unfalsifiable?
