Harmonic Atheist - Interview with Derek Lambert of MythVision

I had a blast speaking with Derek Lambert, of MythVision, as he shared an overview of his deconversion story.
Throughout the discussion, we skimmed through a few concepts related to mythology, the psychology of faith, the amazing experience of escaping from the Bible/Christianity prison and seeing reality for the first time, and being proactive in getting information out to people who don't really know the truth about how Christianity formed.
Looking forward to taking it to the next level soon in our future talks. Many thanks to Derek, both for the video and for his behind-the-scenes support.

Thank you for the privilege to share some of my story.

It was awesome dude i wish my family would at least listen but they're like oh khara stop contradicting us i think im gonna go by my middle name Alexandra after the library of alexandria. that's not why my middle name is that but that's why im gonna use it at least online

[@Jon45678]

Derek you have no idea how much you have helped me. I was an all-in Christian for decades and resonate with how you explain things. Thanks for doing this video with Tim.

[@meghannmelendy1418]

Wow as an addict who has struggled in and out of recovery for 20 years, raised Christian and only processing through deconversion this last year I so relate to him!

[@1revwilly]

I am so glad that I discovered Derek Lambert and MythVision at the time that I did when I was still trying to find my footing outside of Christianity. To listen to his content, the guests that he has interviewed and his collaboration with Dr. Price has certainly been eye opening for me. I was recently listening to him chatting with Derreck Bennett and he mentioned this channel so I came here and subscribed immediately! I'm glad I did! :-)

[@ivywindsong]

Love Derek and MythVision. I'm glad to see his interview here.

[@leahhicks8657]

Great talk! Very helpful. Thank you for posting.

[@Beegee1952]

Learning the true Bible history is what lead to my deconversion. Once I was “woke” there was no going back. Thanks for sharing the truth.

[@summerbiby1496]

I deeply connect to Derek's deconversion process. When he says "Okay, this is safe." That is exactly how I took my steps. First, a god of love could not possibly send people to hell. Thanks to Love Wins by Rob Bell, I was able to release the fear and belief in hell. There were all these steps along the way that took away the inerrancy of the bible. A study of the Old Testament God of anger and vengeance, helped me to understand that possibly the bible was simple man's side of the story of understand his creation... a search to understand god. So, now that it wasn't literal, I was able to read it more objectively. (My Deconversion took about 7 years.) Eventually I realized that all religions kind of have bits and parts that were connected. So, then I figured religion was just man's trial and error of connecting to god and none of them were accurate. I was able to hold onto belief in god for a couple years while not believing in the Christian God. And now I'm a full blown atheist.

[@hbeeteevee]

Love Wins was the first book I read too that started my Deconversion.

[@unicyclist97]

Hooray, two cool people in a single video!

[@atheistechoes9594]

Definately checking out this guys channel after the interview

Great talk!

[@cdzlink7115]

I am a big fan of Derek and Mythvision. I relate a lot to Derek, even though personality wise we are quite different, I still think a lot like him.

[@Jon45678]

This is the best video on KZbin about deconstruction! You guys covered so many key issues that I am going through. Everyone needs to see this.

[@danbreeden5481]

Derek Lambert one the great free thinkers of KZbin and and mythvision podcast

[@TheGretsch6120]

Really enjoyed this. Glad to find out I'm not alone.

[@MarshaLowenthal]

Thank y’all for bringing all this information to us. Because of you and others like you, I am no longer a believer.

[@nauticdixons]

Good for you.

Hey Tim What’s that big cross in the door?

[@HarmonicAtheist]

It's a normal panel door- - that's an upper cross rail and two mullions.

[@rachactually6884]

The 6 panel door was created in the 1700’s. It was thought to ward off witches…it has a cross and an open Bible *out of view in this particular door but take a look at those in your house;)

[@atheistechoes9594]

If only we still had the library of alexandria

[@jeancalvani1230]

Love mythvision! Been watching for a few years but just found your channel and so glad I did! Question - does your wife still believe? If so do you share what you now know/believe? How has it affected your relationship? I come from a very similar background as yours and have tried talking to my husband and he doesn’t want to hear it. I usually end up trying to believe again but only lasts so long before I end up in dis belief again.

[@ranias76]

spot on Derek

[@thanksyahweh8777]

Yooooooo I love that you referenced Hopsin Ill mind 7. That's the only time Hip Hop has ever made me cry. It's the most raw, real, hip hop song I've ever heard in my life. I also heard it after I stopped believing, so that may have had something to do with it too lol, but still. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was impacted by that.

[@MrSeadawg123]

1:28:00 Derek brings up a little mentioned point in Judaism. On why things go wrong! And the benefit of having a God to explain why things go wrong. So they can never blame themselves as a group. Except that they were being punished for displeasing God!

[@atheistechoes9594]

I think what truely got me down the road to atheism was i google searched god and found out it means ba'al then i found out about the different flood myths and it just went uphill from there climax i became atheist i almost got into the hebrew roots movement

[@SHurd-rc2go]

Sorry to say that the descendants of Sun God worshippers are converting from Catholicism to Evangelical Christianity. Tim, thank you for your works.

[@atheistechoes9594]

My family refuses to talk to me about the bible i tfied to tell them where does it literally say the talking serpent was satan and they just pull up an artical that says its there i know why they refuse to talk about it they don't. have a decent argument for it

[@ScottBub]

The big old difference is the emotional manipulation between religion and the logical nature of atheism. There is so much emotional manipulation and self deception from the delusion of belief and faith. In atheism we all have to sit with ourselves and find a way to be okay with ourselves. That’s a hard thing to do.

[@atheistechoes9594]

It hurts me very much that my family believes the bible is literal and that im going to hell they wont say that part but i know they are thinking that

[@shelld4706]

What was the therefore there for! 😂 Did we go to the same church?

[@atheistechoes9594]

I have lost all hope to save my family from religion i have no freedom of speech to talk about anything that contradicts the bible so im just not gonna say anything to them at all.cause if they cant listen to me about something so important then they'll never listen to me about anything!!!!!!!!!! My family is too far gone to think its sick what religion has done to my loved ones they think.the bible is absolutely literal history

[@SHurd-rc2go]

Save yourself!! Sometimes we have to just step aside

[@ScottBub]

I wish my fundamentalist Christian brother in law would stop and use his brain for two seconds and stop being manipulated and self indoctrinating himself and my sister. I know he could be an amazing human being, but he is so delusional right now it’s scary that they are about to have a child. I am devastated for that child to be traumatized with religious belief.

[@atheistechoes9594]

Aw cuties

[@atheistechoes9594]

My family refuses to defend their sky daddy some christians they are yet they think the bible is literal

[@atheistechoes9594]

They wish the old testament didn't exist

[@ScottBub]

Nah, myths are not history. It’s fiction mistaken as history. It’s people’s beliefs about history.
