Kent Hovind's "Whack An Atheist Wednesday" | Atheist Reaction

Well it looks like I have a new favourite show. Today we're taking a look at the latest episode of Kent Hovind's weekly show: Whack an Atheist Wednesday, featuring fellow young earth creationist guest: Matt Powell! It's exactly as brilliantly awful as you would expect it to be. I want to go to Dinosaur Adventure Land.

Yeah, even in this video you can see how he dissed Matt at the start when Matt came up with "Proffesor Powell" as he realized Matt came forth with higher imaginary degree than himself, he then went "well whatever" - that was funny and horrid at the same time and I think a little peak into Howinds mad sociopathic mind as he didn't like to have the lesser degree, but he couldn't openly say as he cannot attack his co-host so he just dismissed the idea (even though it was his own). It makes me wonder if Matt is just poor dum guy (which his own videos do suggest), who Kent is taking advantage of (to bring in younger audience) or if Matt is also on the scam and this is just his YT persona. I think, the unimaginative "professor Powell" kind of speak for the former rather than the latter. I'm kind of feeling bad for him to be under influence of that Ahole.

@Miles Doyle Nice copypasta. Also if your god exists, it is evil by its own admission but you christians never engage the logic parts of your brain and think it through. The biblical jesus didn't exist. It is an amalgamated story of heroes from other civilisations. Also fucking hell, dude if you want people to read any of that you need to use paragraphs. No one is going to read all of that. Maybe pick one or two points. Everything you said flies in the face of the evidence presented by experts in christian history and biblical scholarship who don't have a dependent confirmation bias. Yes, some crucified people were buried in tombs but maybe you should read about why that was the case and why it proves jesus, of all people, wasn't buried in a tomb and would never have been. You should read Dr Bart Ehrman, you know, an actual expert in the new testament. The abrahamic god has no love because the abrahamic god is not real. Simply another story with no evidence designed to exercise power over the fearful. Also you should check out "the atheist handbook to the old testament" by the ever amazing Dr Joshua Bowen. Again, an expert.

You would probably do better to find good examples of Christians that people would admire and want to emulate, in order to attach your evangelism to. And a prayer like that is appropriate for the situation after someone has been converted. Beforehand, it looks pretty absurd to suggest that. I don't believe in the the father, so the laws and the concept of his sins, separating from him, and the requirement of someone else's blood sacrifice to wash away said sins, are all pretty irrelevant to me. Quick question though. How or why are we separated from, or requiring him to "send his holy spirit", if he's omniscient, and omnipresent? Or is the holy spirit not part of the omnipresent thing?

I've actually met him twice in person when I was (I think) 7 and 10. My parents literally travelled to see him live, twice. My dad even flew to Florida in the beginning of his trial. It's been a hot second since then, but he's nice to his followers. Sidenote: I also met his son Eric once too (I think I was 13), looking back Eric was very kind and genuine. My parents wanted to take him out for breakfast, we went to McDonald's and he paid the entire bill. (I have 5 siblings, so he personally paid for 9 people including himself.) There were no red flags for me for years because Kent Hovind was a lot like my dad, and when you grow up in abuse, narcissism just flies over your head. I was so brainwashed back in the day.

Rather than teaching them in that moment, the all powerful God threw a tantrum and cast them out of his private garden and cursed them and all who would come after them. Is that even a little bit sane? I mean, really? So then, later, he decides to undo this weird punishment he himself put on humans, but to do this he, for some reason, needs a big show. So he impregnates a woman (thus this kid is not in the King David lineage, since that would involve the sperm of Joseph, who wasn't involved), and she gives birth to the son of god, a guy who is himself a god with powers. He then pretends to die in a big bloody show, appears 'risen' to a couple of questionable witnesses (instead of more reliable people), and then heads off to parts unknown. Seriously?

After some time of this nothing seemed to be happening. One day two of her friends presented her with the needed funds. 'The lord works in mysterious ways' she said as she accepted the money graciously. I pulled the two aside and asked how they got so much so quick. One of them claimed she just made a basement porno for a few hundred dollars and was able to give some of the money. The other said a he knew of a nut job who would pay a hundred dollars or so to film people doing stuff like blaspheme the christian god, while pissing on a cross. I always found it a little whimsical that not only A god but the capital G god saw fit for the money raised by making a porno and blaspheming to be used to pay for an abortion.

"Leave a piece of hamburger on a counter for 65,000,000 years, and what happens?" It decomposes into nothing, Kent. Just like dinosaur meat did. The _bones,_ however, will likely still be there. Like the bones we find of dinosaurs from 65,000,000 years ago. *_Kent._*

VERY rarely do I laugh outloud at something. But them whacking Darwin killed me 😂

Great breakdown, thank you. Couldn't quite get my head around the 'Emma reviewing Kent and Matt reviewing Dan reviewing Matt' aspect at first, it took a bit of getting used to, but managed it in the end and had some laughs!

I simply don't understand why they insist on comparing petrification and fossilization. Their examples of petrified teddy bears and boots aren't even close to fossils. Fossils can only be formed by organic matter. Petrification is when a porous object becomes so saturated with soluble minerals that it takes on the appearance and traits of stone but their original matter still exists within it. Fossils actually lose their fully organic composition and just leave behind their mineral/non-decomposable substances. (from what I understand, in a terribly encapsulated generalization)

@Miles Doyle oh this is a rather disturbing post. very similar to a person in the midst of a psychotic rant. I hope you can get some medical assitance. a lot of talk of death and blood and supernatural ghosts. your book the bible is absolutely terrifying.

@Miles Doyle Herod, King of Judea, died around 5 BCE. His kingdom was divided among three of his sons. They were considered Roman-allied autonomous prefects, not monarchs. Around 6 CE the Romans coveted Judea and invaded from Syria. They took the major portion controlled by one son, but they allowed the other two sons to keep their fiefdoms in the East. One of these sons was Antipas, the "Herod" who killed John the Baptist. The Roman occupation of Judea, of course, prevented the re-establishment of the Herod monarchy. So no, there were no kings during the period Jesus would have been alive.

@Miles Doyle Please try to understand that a post like this here is only hurting your case.

At an early age I was in a Jewish private school where I had a science teacher who was also a Hazan -> a person who leads others in prayer. I always thought that one could be religious and get something out of the writing but not have it overwhelm secular knowledge. Fundamentalists are just mind boggling.
