WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as 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.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

Even if anything in that was true what is your motivation to have others believe like you, to have no hope, to believe they are a biological happenstance that will never do anything that will ever matter in the long run?

Easter and Passover has an ever changing date on all calendars. This means we do not know when Jesus died or was resurrected. The dates for this are different every year. It makes the claims ridiculous!

[@SteveHardie42]

The date changes because it is based on a Lunar event. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the full moon, after the Spring Equinox. The early church tried to hide the Pafan origins of Easter, and were fanatical that it shouldn't fall on a Full moon.

[@snapperjessen]

Hugh Hefner was a big fan of easter i think

[@dwendt44]

No he wasn't. His children were from his early marriage and not from his repeated romps with his 'bunnies'.

[@bibleburner8426]

I miss Don.

[@dwendt44]

Two points: jesus was hung on the cross NAKED. And christianity uses the wrong cross. The Gallic cross that christians use is like the lower case t, Romans used a cross like the capital T. They also, for a time, used the X shape cross.

Isn't _suicide_ also a sin? So if God sacrificed himself... to himself...

[@leyrua]

@Samantha Martinez omnipotence?

[@leyrua]

@Samantha Martinez Suicide by cop? I mean, he sent himself with the _intent_ to be sacrificed.

[@leyrua]

@Samantha Martinez I'm not sure I'm understanding your last comment correctly though. Could you rephrase that?

[@leyrua]

@Samantha Martinez Sacrificing himself in the knowledge that he is omnipotent is also not a sacrifice, since he's not losing anything. So I guess the whole thing would be more akin to pointless sadomasochism?

[@leyrua]

I think it's all just mythology, but I raised the question as a philosophical point.

There is an easy explanation for the rabbits and eggs...Rabbits are monotremes.

We all know that the Romans were responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus, which was a sin. He was innocent and even Pontius Pilate washed his hands of the whole mucky business. But today, millions of Romans are glad that Jesus died. Rome is a great tourist attraction.

[@00Skyfox]

Arthur Clarke had it right about specifying a secular funeral. The last 3 funerals I attended were catholic funerals, held in churches of course, and in every case the entire proceeding was almost entirely about glorifying and kissing the ass of an imaginary invisible man in the sky rather than honoring the person who died and the life they led. As an atheist it made me sick to my stomach to watch that horseshit that treated the deceased as little more than a side note.

[@robby7499]

Wait, I thought the Horus/Jesus connection was debunked.

[@blzebub2]

You thought wrong.

[@tedgrant2]

Christianity is based an Leviticus chapter 16 Jesus is the scapegoat that takes away the sins of the people. It's a very ancient idea that acts as a loophole for the rules set out in the Bible. We are not capable of obeying God's rules religiously, so he gave us a way out.

[@JamesRichardWiley]

Since Jesus was God and could not die He probably didn't feel any pain either.

[@nuoiptertermer4484]

The holocaust wasn't a religious thing. I wanted to mention that.

[@TheWilfredolorenzo]

hitler was a hard core christian,he had nazi belts with the german saying "god is with us" also in his novel mein kampf he stated that he was doing gods work and was backed by god. The guy not only was christian but was killing and harming in the name of the christian god. You should look this up more i know i'm missing a few more details regarding this

[@winniepuuh7895]

That is wrong. Of course it was religious. Shame on you to joke about that. Shame on you! 🤬

There is only one way to eternal life, “If anyone obeys my teaching, he shall never know what it is to die.” - (Jesus, at John 8: 51) - Where through him, we shall never have to worship and pray in the way of religions, not even that of the Pope or Christianity; because we learn that religions are all led by the many false prophets who continue to mislead us. When Jesus alone (in the name of Immanuel) is the Son of man and the true prophet who was sent by God, to be always our one Teacher. Here follows a summary of his true teaching… “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (Jesus, at John 4: 24) - “In truth I tell you, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me, has hold of eternal life and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life.” - (at John 5: 24) - “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (at Matthew 7: 15-16) - “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) - “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” - (Jesus, at Matthew 24: 4) - “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) - “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) - “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (at Matthew 6: 6-15) - “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) - “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) - “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” - (Matthew 7: 12-14) - “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) - “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and anyone who is alive and has faith shall never die.” - (John 11: 25-26) - “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) - “Whoever will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) - “Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) - “The disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a child, set him in front of them, and said, ‘I tell you this: unless you turn round and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Let a man humble himself till he is like this child, and he will be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. But if a man is a cause of stumbling to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Alas for the world that such causes of stumbling arise! Come they must, but woe betide the man through who they come!’” - (Mathew 18: 1-7) - “Though many are called, few are chosen.” - (Matthew 22: 14) - “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) - “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) - “One of the criminals who hung there also mocked and taunted him: ‘Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself, and us!’ But the other criminal rebuked him. ‘Have you no fear of God? You are under the same sentence as he. For us it is plain justice; we are paying the price for our misdeeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.’ And he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ He answered, “I tell you this: today you shall be with me in Paradise.’” - (Luke 23: 39-43) - “For it is my Father’s will that everyone who looks upon the Son and puts his faith in him shall possess eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day” - (John 6: 40) - “Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” - (Matthew 28: 20) - Yours, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, Sunday the 25th of April, 2021: - (Matthew 5:14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often before it is too late.

Where we shall never have to worship and pray in the way of religions, not even that of Pope, his priests or Christianity; because religions are all led by the many false prophets who continue to mislead us. When Jesus alone (in the name of Immanuel) is the Son of man and the true prophet who was sent by the Lord God, to be always our one Teacher… “I will raise up for them a prophet like you [Moses] from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth.” - (at Deuteronomy 18: 18) - “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: A young woman is with child, and she will bear a son, and will call him Immanuel.” [“God is with us”] - (The Prophet Isaiah 7: 14) - “If you have ears to hear, then hear.” - (Jesus of Nazareth the Messiah, at Mark 4: 23) - “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (Jesus, at John 4: 24) - “In truth I tell you, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me, has hold of eternal life and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life.” - (at John 5: 24) - “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (at Matthew 7: 15-16) - “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) - “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” - (Jesus, at Matthew 24: 4) - “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) - “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) - “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (at Matthew 6: 6-15) - “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) - “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) - “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” - (Matthew 7: 12-14) - “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) - “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and anyone who is alive and has faith shall never die.” - (John 11: 25-26) - “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) - “Whoever will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) - “Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) - “The disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a child, set him in front of them, and said, ‘I tell you this: unless you turn round and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Let a man humble himself till he is like this child, and he will be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. But if a man is a cause of stumbling to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Alas for the world that such causes of stumbling arise! Come they must, but woe betide the man through who they come!’” - (Mathew 18: 1-7) - “Though many are called, few are chosen.” - (Matthew 22: 14) - “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind.

@Samantha Martinez Yes I agree, atheism teaches only Fairy tales. It doesn't teach you how to "Always treat others as you would like them to treat you." And how to "Love your neighbour as yourself." Only the Lord your God can do that through his chosen prophets. To make this world a safe and better place we must invest in the word of God. “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you.” And “Love your neighbour as yourself.” That is the Law and the Prophets.

@Samantha Martinez I am not a Christian. I am also not the rich man with worldly wealth, of whom Jesus was addressing when he told him to 'sell all your possessions and give to the needy, then come follow me.' Please don't tell me his teaching. He is the Teacher, not you! You seek only to change his teaching for your own self-indulgent agenda.
