Daniel was written in 164 bce, not "600 BCE". And No, the text doesn't say "the messiah will enter Jerusalem in exactly X amount of days", that adds up to 30 AD, the math actually brings us to 164 BCE, as ONIAS was the "Christ" that this so-called Daniel was writing about because the text back-dated itself to make a prophecy about Onias sound like a prediction, and then Christians in the late first century just applied this text to Jesus.

If you lost your glasses, then praying that god will help you find your glasses, is undermining gods will that you lose your glasses. The vast majority of prayer, is people asking for god to change his divine will for them. lol

[@terminatah500]

That amendment question was gold. I’m also watching Christians amend it every year

[@billbaldwin3564]

There is never a direct statement of evidence from theists claiming to have it It’s always let me spin up a scenario so my subsequent goofy reasoning might make sense.

[@ArcanisUltra]

I mean, sometimes, it’s like, your patience is inspiring. Why humor someone for so long, when they don’t seem to be hearing anything.

[@My_trashtalking_account]

God damn. Every call is exactly the same.

[@stampandscrap7494]

I cannot be a Christian, because from 5 till 8 I was abused by 3 men at sunday school. They used to tell me it was gods punishment for being evil. I know I was not evil, and as an adult I know that they were lying. What I cannot accept that a god who was in the tiniest amount caring, could let children go through that. That lightning wouldn't strike them down for doing that in his name. That that god let me believe subconciously for 45 years that I was unlovable and evil. That this stuff happens to hundreds of thousands of children everyday. But false preachers can gave 5 jet planes and live to old age. Its all bullocks

[@ClaytonJonesImages]

I like how a simple query is tossed into the mix and they immediately get flustered and fall apart lol

[@FectacularSpail]

The idea that the King James Bible is the One True Bible is so hilarious to me. Sure, the gospels were written in Aramaic or whatever, and translated into Greek, then Latin, but the English translation made a millennium and a half after the fact, that's the Definitive Edition. lol

[@rahowherox1177]

The best part is there isn't A kjv. There is 2 different kjv - namely the Oxford and the Cambridge... Both with many editions and changes.

[@FectacularSpail]

@@rahowherox1177I did not know that!

[@rahowherox1177]

@@FectacularSpail few do, because we tend to get info from Christians whom are also ignorant.. But in this case have less right to be. Also the gospels were first written in Greek. Hence the Greek names jesus (savior =messiah), christ(os) - anointed. And many more.

So much better when they presented in the studio.

And that my friends was the most fantastic call I have ever heard

[@scotttchviski6706]

'God wrote it down so the words don't change' Then man changes all the words from one language to another language, several times. Maybe God should have concentrated on designing only one language.

[@grizzadams2110]

Exactly......and then in true apologist style they say.......aah but its man's interpretation.😂😂😂

[@steveOCalley]

The KJV was changed in 1885 by dropping some books that had been there for 300 years. WTF?

[@memitim171]

Well according to the story we did all speak one language at one point, but god decided that wasn't nearly confusing enough, so it had to go...

[@progressor4ward85]

The problem is that whether we believe it or not whether we want it to be or not, we are involuntarily participats in an evolutionary process. Which only means change over time. If the words cannot be changed or the expectation cannot be changed it comes in direct conflict with this process of nature that we have no control over. Even in a split second of time we have changed our position from that last increament of time. Probability of outcome playes a more significant role in shaping our perspective of reality then hard driven wote down non chargeable expectations of human conditioning. That's why laws that applied previously that we all agreed to follow have become irrelevant in today's society, so laws governing constantly change due to new realizations in the evolutionary process.

[@DavidRobinson-rj2sp]

Seemingly the missing first verse of the Bible has just been discovered. Genesis 1:1, Once upon a time.....

[@jimdietrick1681]

Theists have no threshold for humiliation!

[@youtubestudiosucks978]

Maybe they get off humilation. It's a fetish way more common then you think and religion requires them to let god throw any hardship and abuse on them. Look at the story of job, god ruined his life and job thanked god for it. Sometimes people are born mascoist and willing to submit to anything that operates under a might is right rule just so that they can get off

[@obbie1osias467]

How convenient! If I reveal myself to my flocks I have to destroy them! Why would I sign-up on something with fine print like that?🤣🤣🤣

[@airforcex9412]

Wow. I used to be that guy. I apologize. 😢😂

[@weinster666]

As entertaining as these calls are, you should really set some ground rules for these caller discussions. For example: "In this format of discussion and debate, both sides must agree on source material that is acceptable as a reliable, true reference. We on The Atheist Experience do not believe that the events in the Bible have been proven to be true, so no use of Bible quotes is permitted."

[@chrisgraham2904]

Theists, regardless of what religion, do not know what evidence is, or how to evaluate evidence, or how important evidence is. Every education system in the world needs to implement a course in epistemology, beginning in grade 2. In a world of the internet and A.I. this need today is greater than it has ever been. This lack of understanding seems to be the root of every issue and controversy regarding religions, politics and every conspiracy that one can dream up.

[@TheKosmikid]

I think they know what evidence is but use special pleading when discussing their god. There always seems to be a justification for not having any actual evidence.

[@bobs182]

Fundie Christian parents protest to schools about teaching anything that doesn't agree with the Bible which means cosmology, biology, geology, and critical thinking can't be taught.

[@robb3210]

My wife lost her glasses one morning after having read in bed she searched for hours with no success. Anyway she called me in to help her find it, and in my capacity as an Avowed Atheist among other things I walked into her bedroom went directly to the head of her bed and reached down between the the bed head and the mattress and pulled out her glasses. Not a prayer was required, Grated I did feel a bit god like for finding them immediately. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Contract law is a "meeting of the minds"

[@dinohall2595]

While the "universe farting pixies" call was always my favorite, this one was also a candidate for the best call ever. Not because it came close to proving God, but because where most callers are just wrong on one point over and over again, this caller just dug himself deeper and deeper to the point that, by the end of the call, he was nowhere near his original argument.

[@jaus1701]

These callers always fail.

[@ChrisM-zm4li]

I think the stupid glasses remark was going for a metaphor about them being cloudy and you having to clean them to see clearly what has been in front of your eyes all the time, like he's saying that his absurd god has revealed himself to you, but your pride or something is the fog on your glasses. They are always so impressed by simple rhetoric and thinks it proves something.

[@LCDRformat]

In a way, hes right, this call is pretty great

[@phyllis9750]

Best caller ever. I have to hear this!

[@Ratciclefan]

Why do English-speaking Christians worship the King James Bible so much? It was literally commissioned by a king to help consolidate his rule.

[@rahowherox1177]

The kjvS. There's 2 both different with multiple editions and changes. How Christians are ignorant of this with their 1 true version is beyond me.

[@bobs182]

Then there is the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE convened at Emperor Constantine's behest to get uniformity of belief in his empire. They decided on the Holy Trinity and that Jesus was divine. This was the beginning of the Catholic Church which means universal. This caller would have to think that there were no Christians before the KJV was written.

[@skepsswag]

Hard to believe this is still happening

Not all scholars think Jesus claimed he was “God.” Ehrman, for example.

[@CalinoFG]

The fact that there are several Bibles in circulation should give one pause for thought🤷‍♂️

[@thetexadian]

The "Bible" was written in Hebrew by Hebrew for Hebrew. The King James Version is a poor translation. Further, new archeological findings say that the Hebrew version was not used a the "law" for 300 years after it was written--after the defeat of the Greeks by the Maccabees

[@ZERO_O7X]

And then the Maccabees were defeated by the Whackadoos who have ruled the world ever since.

[@rahowherox1177]

Not the nt. That was initially written in Greek... Hence jesus (Greek for savior / messiah, and christ(os) Greek for anointed.
