Interviewing Michael Shermer, the Atheist that Inspired Me to Leave Religion || Fubilosophy Podcast

Michael Shermer is a well-known American science writer, historian of science, and publisher. But to me, Michael Shermer is a staunch skeptic-atheist who managed to inspire me to finally embrace my non-religiosity. For most of the time I know Him, He’s my hero. But today, He’s my guest

So lucid, so rational, so cogent and persuasive-Michael Shermer is a true hero of scepticism and rationality.

[@VaughanMcCue]

We should start a religion - Shermerism! Everyone must ride bicycles.

[@edgardavid1653]

I understand your being nervous. I had a presentation not long ago in which a world-known scholar attended. I stammered during the first half of the presentation. You let Michael talk and asked pointed questions (I might have changed a few but that's ok). Great content at the end of the day!

[@skinfully]

oh my!!!! as an indonesian ex mus i am thrilled! i wish you the best of luck on your channel. thank you for ur work!!

[@aiya5777]

you're just too lazy for daily prayers😂

[@bobmiller5009]

Great channel!

[@chocmelt]

keren bro bisa dapet Michael Shermer. Semangat terus!

[@LukeAshton05]

An atheist is not an activist, a theist is an activist, against all humanity.

[@polarbleed3440]

If an atheist is also a Marxist or someone who adheres to critical social justice, they are an activist and should be opposed.

[@SalK-LS]

What!? You have respect for William Lane Craig!? I'm honestly a bit shocked... I consider him to be within the group of the worst Christian apologists. One Christian apologist who comes to mind as more honest and respectable is Sean McDowell.

[@fubilosophy]

I respect His intelligence, His debating skills, and His charisma. But not His characters. I forgot cleared that up because I was kinda nervous

[@SalK-LS]

@@fubilosophy It's all good... Sorry, if I sounded a bit harsh.

[@fubilosophy]

@@SalK-LS no problem Man, thanks for pointing about that tho. I’ll need to be more composed in the next podcasts too so I can be more articulate and clear 😃

[@temmaxtemma9570]

lol. You're right. William Lane Craig got nicknamed "Low Bar Bill" for good reason. In his opinion, you should keep lowering your standard in order to believe in a god. smh. I've watched his debate vs Sean Carrol, that was hillarious. If i must choose a good apologist, i'd name Mike Licona or Blake Giunta. Both of them are great in debates, even vs Matt Dillahunty.

[@aiya5777]

​@@temmaxtemma9570 Matt who? Matt Dillahunty who told Haqiqatjou that he doesn't mind his wife sleeping with other dudes in marriage?🤣🤣🤣 he's reading too much NTR doujins

[@gledatelj1979]

Less religion leads to more politics and and more politics requires more religion . This is a big circular dilemma for a self styled atheist as they always attack any other religion as they expnad their politics. Their atheism becomes only a tool of attack of other religions.

[@grahamlindsay1263]

Yeah stop persecuting atheist

[@robinhood20253]

Congratulations on your journey out of religion. It is difficult for all of us. Michael isnt one of the four horsemen, Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins , and the late Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennett made up the Four Horsemen .

¿Es posible estar equivocado creyendo? ¿Es posible creer que es imposible estar equivocado creyendo?. A Dios se llega mediante la razón y los sentidos, a Dios se llega pensando. A Dios no se llega creyendo lo que sea por miedo. ¿Por qué creen los religiosos que Dios existe?. Los religiosos creen que Dios existe porque no saben que Dios existe, los religiosos creen que Dios existe porque son ignorantes. No tienes que creer en Dios porque Dios es necesario. Dios existe porque lógicamente es imposible la existencia de la creación o finitud sin el creador o infinitud. ¿Si aceptas que Dios es necesario aceptarías que la humanidad está engañada creyendo porque demasiada gente miente demasiado?. La verdad que te hace libre es el ateísmo es una falacia lógica que asume Dios es la idea religiosa del creador de la creación y concluye erróneamente que el creador no existe porque una idea particular de Dios no existe. Para acabar la guerra el descubrimiento de que el ateísmo es una falacia lógica tiene que ser noticia. El verdadero Dios es el Dios de Spinoza y si no me crees puedes leer a Spinoza. ¡Emergencia! Gracias.
