Sorry I'm late again and I wish you all a wonderful week! 1:38 Nick (he/him) - Theist | [Clipping from Caller] He says that he believes that god is "the cause of our causes and the source of everything," as well as "the absolute truth." 37:14 Announcements. 38:02 David (he/him) - Theist | Caller claims that human beings misinterpreted the bible. 48:00 Aaron (he/him) - Theist | Caller says we all have a relationship with a god that is interpreted by "every single one of us" in a different way. (Although it's most likely the Christian one, due to the constant references to Jesus). [I really wish the best for Caller in his journey, hope he gets to a point like the one Eve told him about.] 1:09:40 Troy (he/him) - Atheist | Caller wants some advice on how to deal with frustrations as an activist. 1:20:03 Tim (he/him) - Theist | Caller says that other people's interpretations of what Jesus preached about are wrong. [Good call!] 1:25:21 Paul (he/him) - Theist | Caller claims that there is a "a thread" that unites all the religions and that that is what he believes in. However, I can't stress this enough, the guy makes even more claims then, such as "physical is representational." 1:35:22 Alexander (they/them) - Theist | Caller calls in to talk about the way some Christian churches sneak in the patriotism ideology in sermons and other stuff. However, they end up talking with hosts about what they believe in god, and why they still believe. [Great conversation! I really hope all the best for Caller on their journey, wherever that takes them

[@lexliller2004]

Can someone explain this show tho? I mean when it comes down to it, the supernatural cant be proven. Belief in God is not rational and there is no evidence of God. So arent y’all kinda just watching people chasing their tales? It may be more honest to say the premise of the show is to deconstruct a belief. Call us so we can tear it apart and maybe teach you call-in-show etiquette while we’re at it. 🤷‍♀️

Be less embarrassing next time.

[@TheSquareOnes]

@@NadiaPakashDas And by the same token, Matt's tone isn't just about berating the callers but rather about getting fed up with them not answering basic questions and just generally interfering with his ability to run the show (people whining about the double standard around interruptions is a good example, if he's interrupting it's to get things back on track which is not the case when they do it). If people would just shut up and give actual answers then he wouldn't blow up on them, but instead they ramble over everyone like confused idiots then wonder why it didn't go well. Even better, if I'm remembering the call right Eve was also getting fed up with the caller's bullshit by that point. She wasn't as aggressive about it but there was very clearly a "dude, just stop whining and this will go so much better" subtext (that's barely even subtext if you just look at her body language lmao, she was about to rip her hair out). There's definitely a point where someone is too annoying for it to be worth coddling them anymore and they were both rapidly approaching it.

[@the-outsider8458]

I think it's a combination. ½ the theists know they can't answer without being shady. And the other ½ know they haven't thought about it enough to justify anything. They just accept what they've been told to and never want to delve deeper for fear of finding the obvious contradictions they've heard about.

[@Raven.flight]

As an ex-theist, I can say that there are at least a few (maybe I’m the only one) who want to get their answers straight, and their thoughts in order before calling, and by listening become ex-theists.

[@AlDunbar]

I think many theists have come to their belief through something other than reason. Then they start to believe their beliefs are true. Then when forced to explain why they believe they startcoff believing that their beliefs must be grounded in something rational. But since they are not, they flounder around trying to ask themselves why and getting no rational answers.

Aaron DID insinuate that Matt's quality of life was worse because he did not believe in imaginary Friends. He said people get comfort out of imaginary friends, and when asked if he thought Matt's life was deficient for not having imaginary Friends he said something to the effect of "you can't have relationships in the same way I can" He realized that and then back pedaled then immediately denied it but that's absolutely what he was insinuating.

[@Kellie08]

That is a classic argument from Christians. That along with Atheists don’t have morals. We are miserable, angry, don’t believe in anything and have no purpose in life.

Haven't gotten to his part of the show yet but I always find it hilarious when theist call in with that type of language. They have no clue how bad that makes them look. Their willingness to believe key things about their worldview because they've debunked 99.9% of that view leaving blind faith must make it true. I've never understood why religious people are so comfortable taking something on faith that by all accounts if there is some kind of afterlife & getting into to "good" country club is contingent on believing a certain thing. Taking that on faith with millions of different religions, thousands of different sects of their own religion. Yet they must be right because it's all been debunked leaving only faith, meanwhile other religions (some in the same family tree) have also been debunked leaving only faith for them. Are they also right?

I agree, if you have evidence you don’t need faith. In the absence of evidence, the only thing left is faith.

Alexander, I stopped a stranger from inflicting serious harm on another person. He was momentarily furious. I yelled at him from a distance, and he froze. He was about to smash another guy's head with a rock the size of a basketball. The other guy, unaware of the whole situation, went inside a coffee shop. After he froze, he began to melt down and had trouble breathing. I went over and gave him some water. I told him he made a good choice not going through with it. Then he started shaking and crying, thanking me for stopping him. He went from being a furious man to a helpless teenager who was about to ruin his life. I think there's a chance he has similar thoughts about the event and my involvement. There was no God to intervene, only a humanist and an atheist with proper experience in crisis situations-and a bit of luck. On that day, countless other people ruined their or someone else's lives, and God didn't stop them.

The catchy phrase “life comes from life” leaves out the fact that all life is made up of physical material.

I increasingly feel like Matt is like those college professors who've gotten so deep into their academic echo chambers that they can't comprehend that their least informed level of discourse is still far above the average person's understanding. In this conversation, you're speaking with someone whose primary language is German and who acknowledged a communication barrier. Instead of being pedantic about word selection, you could "extend the olive branch" by confirming you understood his intention before critiquing his word choice. He even apologized for misspeaking, but you were so busy nitpicking that you didn't acknowledge it. This would have been a perfect moment to move on, but instead, the conversation became more toxic and hostile. I genuinely want to like Matt, but his antagonistic attitude is off-putting. While there are times it’s warranted, in this instance, it exacerbated an already challenging conversation due to the communication barrier.
