Freethought Matters - Devin Moss

[@gretchenrobinson825]

Former hospice chaplain. I'm a humanist and that enabled me to 'minister' to people without an agenda.

[@TheFabricOfReality]

Would love to talk t you about your experience as a hospice chaplain on my podcast the fabric of reality!

[@patcomerford5596]

An excellent interview, thank you.

[@RoLynn-v4b]

This was a very interesting program. Thank you.

[@AveriesMiranda]

Idk why I felt so emotional about this one. Excellent interview

[@Amazing_Mark]

Gosh, I'm not usually militaristic but I despise religion at the moment. Along with John Lennon I imagine a world with no religion. A kinder, more peaceful world.

[@mattmatty4670]

Cool thanks mate

Finally, America 🇺🇸 needs to abolish the death penalty. It's inhumane.

[@SapientCephalopod]

Just thinking about State Sanctioned Murder makes me ill in the pit of my guts. American "justice" has become a barbaric mockery of the concept.

Governor of Oklahoma must be removed from office. FFRF? Are his words and actions not a violation of the rules of our government?

[@Amazing_Mark]

A pox on the Governor 😡.

free thought is investigating without bias from unbiased sources and deciding for yourself what is best for you. it is not being convinced by the one hand thats clapping to conform to what they believe. if you think you have been brainwashed by religion and turn to a bunch of atheist videos to be brainwashed into atheism, my guess is you're not free thinking and may never will be.

I’m gonna play the gods’ advocate and say that the name Devin is very similar to “devil” and his surname, Moss, is an organism that grows on things. So, believers will probably perceive humanist and atheist chaplains as a pseudo-parasitic faith growing on the “rock” of big religion. Because believers overuse symbols and imagery creating psuedo-schizophrenia. It’s a side-effect of indoctrination that I used to struggle with. Furthermore, I think the title of “atheist chaplain” seems to add weight to the claim of the believers that atheism is, in fact, another religion. I have mixed feelings about

It appears there are six possibilities as to who Jesus (Yeshua) of Nazareth of the first century CE/AD was/is: 1. Myth: He never existed. 2. Legend: He existed, but stories about a first-century man became embellished with retellings over the years, turning him into the God-man of the New Testament. 3. Prophet: A prophet of God who performed miracles, but was not God's son. 4. Liar: A first-century man who was sane, but lied to others about being God’s son. 5. Lunatic: A first-century man who was deluded/insane; he really thought he was God's son. 6. The Lord: A first-century man but also God incarnate (1 Timothy 3:16)

[@SapientCephalopod]

Legend. This process is well documented throughout history, and clearly the case. Not to say he wasn't also a liar and a lunatic.

@@SapientCephalopod In the 2005 book “Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas,” Bono, U2’s frontman, commented: “So what you’re left with is: either Christ was who He said He was, the Messiah, or a complete nutcase. I mean, we’re talking nutcase on the level of Charles Manson. This man was like some of the people we’ve been talking about earlier. This man was strapping himself to a bomb, and had ‘King of the Jews’ on his head, and, as they were putting him up on the Cross, was going: ‘OK, martyrdom, here we go. Bring on the pain! I can take it.' I’m not joking here. The idea that the entire course of civilization for over half of the globe could have its fate changed and turned upside-down by a nutcase, for me, that’s farfetched.”
