[@Cellidor]

What it makes me think of is what you're get if you raised a child, teaching that child that they can never, _ever_ be wrong. What you'll result in, is a child who is wrong about _many_ things, because they've been raised to value their own truth in every possible matter over anyone or anything else, regardless of what they see and experience. Why would they try to learn new things, when they believe their truth is already superior, that they already _know_ everything they need to know? Jay is that child, only in this case it's what he's been taught about unconditional love. As a result, just like the child who believes they have 100% of the truth, knowing better than everyone else, Jay believes he knows and understands love better than everyone else. And just like with the child, the ironic part is that he ends up knowing _less_ about love than most other people, specifically because he wasn't taught to consider that _he could be wrong._ Those who aren't willing to consider that they may be wrong are most often the ones who end up _being_ wrong.

[@JoyfulArtist21]

Yeah... calling in to say he knows what unconditional love is and says how much he loves you, then proceeds to belittle and condescend the rest of the time and misrepresent your journeys. Real cool... Very loving... Also... can you really say God's love is "unconditional?" When I read scripture, it seemed like there was conditions you needed to meet before experiencing the fullness of God's love. Namely, to love and worship him, glorify him, learn about him, and repent of your sins and follow him. That's not "unconditional." Also, y'all don't come across as "angry atheists" at all. You both get very passionate at times, but that shows how much this show and topics involved mean to you. You are always respectful to callers and always give way more grace than most of these callers probably deserve. If that's not loving, I don't know what is.

How can people who say God's "love is unconditional" view it as anything other than an abusive relationship? Maybe he's just too mysterious and I can never know his mind. "Oh you know, God's just like that sometimes."

[@JoyfulArtist21]

When you're that deep in the belief, it's hard to see the abuse. One of the many layers of me coming out of Christianity was learning about narcissism, manipulation, toxic behavior, and other red flags of an abusive relationship. I realized then just how similar the God of the Bible fit that description. Now that I no longer believe, it's easy to point out the abusive nature of the Gospel. But there are so many still in it who can't see it that way. They twist what "love" means and think God loves them simply because the Bible says so. They will literally turn this into a mantra sometimes. At the church I attended for roughly 20 years, they always loved to repeat "God is good all the time" and "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." You tell it to yourself and hear it enough times, you believe it whole heartily.

@@chrisclark784 They really don't. And they don't seem to understand how it comes across. There's a verse I was taught all the time growing up. "Speak the truth in love." I saw it with this caller, that same mentality. Though, granted, they have a very twisted idea of what love is. It's why they don't see a problem with telling us we are going to hell. My own mom does this, and I know she legit loves me. To them, they see it as the most loving thing to do. They compare it to coming to warn you your house is on fire. They think they're trying to save your soul. But... the analogy is more accurately like someone coming to tell you your house is on fire when there's no smoke, no fire, and no evidence that there ever was a fire. So, sure. It would be loving and brave to try and rescue someone from a fire. But if you are just yelling at someone when their house isn't on fire and can't demonstrate that we actually are in any kind of danger, then it's just annoying.

Ya know, I tried to embody "unconditional love" as an 18 year old atheist hanging onto some woo-woo-wiccan "spirituality~" after my incomplete deconstruction of my family's religion. The envisioned process was that I would take in all the so-called negativity from the world around me & radiate life & love back out. This doesn't work, not even in its own metaphor. Or just makes me a walking doormat who refused to set boundaries or advocate for myself; denying & repressing the hurt & my reactions. Unconditional love is a nonsensical, childish concept. Even accounting for "tough love" or the love of a parent for their child. It's not unconditional. A parent doesn't love every child on the planet as they love their own. Their love is conditional on the parent-child dynamic. Conditional to their conceptual proximity to the child; the child being "theirs".

I am part of a continuous development, an ever growing complexity in some places while other places get ever simpler (i.e. the voids between stars and galaxies), from particles forming, galaxies forming, life coming into existence. We are the most complex structure we know of in the universe, but just one step in a seemingly endless ladder, that what comes after us so great we can only speculate about. So I can be humble AND proud at the same time, can accept others have the same rights as me. Can accept that sh*t just happens, that it makes no sense to despair about things that you cannot change, can concentrate on the things I can change.

That ghosts are the _only_ truest source of unfiltered fear one could ever feel. This all, of course, being based on the premise of 'I was personally really scared one time by what I'm claiming to have been a ghost and I've decided I can't be wrong on my assumptions based on those feelings'. It's a shame that I don't think Jay is in a mindspace to understand the problems with that line of reasoning.

If god's love is unconditional then what difference does it make if I believe or not?

[@Solenum756]

I don't believe God's love is unconditional and considering you have to go through a ritual to accept Jesus Christ into your heart But I did want to say I loved Eric's description of his knowledge of electrical things because yeah I have enough electrical knowledge hurt myself bad I'm going to steal that thank you

[@vidfreak56]

LMFAO. Jay shifts the burden of proof like a good little theist.

[@adamcroft80]

It amazes me how quickly people like J get offended when they get called out on their bullshit. While they feel like they can say what they want with zero consequences

[@briand.reynolds474]

I tend to take theists for their word about their belief in gawd, but the condescension in this one leaves no room for doubt! JFC!!

The unconditional love of christian parents who throw their children on the street because they are lgbt.

[@zombiepirate23]

Thank you! Some of these things are just ridiculous 🙄 that these people think. Like they think people are not people but are evil if they don't think the same as them. But so many people that are the same religion as them also do NOT think the EXACT same as them 🤔 😕

Saying atheists can’t experience love without god is like saying Christian’s can’t experience sex without foreskins.

Question for Jay... Do you need to DO something to receive this "forgiveness" that you are using to show God's "unconditional love"? Because if the answer is YES in any way.... Then it's not unconditional, is it....

[@j.gairns]

Jay .. what does one need for your test? I wouldn't want to guess, but I am willing to try, however I don't know what you expect.

[@j.gairns]

Several days into it .. not a peep from a god.

[@vidfreak56]

He knows how to do electrical? ROFL. That says it all.

[@Drudenfusz]

If Jesus would be unconditional love, then there would be no requirement to to follow Jesus to be saved. And Jay seemed to say unconditional love from the beginning, it still misrepresent his deity, since the bible never says it is unconditional love that we get from that deity for it is very clear that if you do not love Jesus then you will also not receive love, that is the very definition of conditional love! If the love would be unconditional then it wouldn't matter what people believe or do, they all would experience the unconditional love.

Excellent logic - unfortunately logic and reason are alien concepts among the god squad.

[@andreahughes1155]

At the end of the call. Spent years looking for a god. He/she/it failed hard.
