WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

You would do that or fight climate change or fight for social justice, i.e better working conditions. This is what you promised me to get out of Hell.

In religion and politics some people are incapable of self reflection and self criticism. Must take quite a combination of of indoctrination and ego to produce such a mentality.

I agree it does but they can’t let that happen because it will turn people away from the church and in turn the right wing political ideology that comes with it. But yes , they need to teach critical thinking instead of just holding faith at the same standard as actual evidence.

Saying it couldn't have happened any other way is not evidence. Personal experiences are not evidence. Arguments are not evidence. For me, if you could pray to your god and someone missing a limb regrew it right then I would accept that as evidence that something has the ability to do that. Or if you can do that to my crippled nephew and he could walk normally again and feel his genitalia again, then you would really have a case for god, and I would start going to church. So far, thousands have tried, zero have been able to produce any real evidence. Which is what you would expect if that thing is non-existent.

[@theunholyhorseman7139]

Renee is just another one of the self-righteous, self-styled Christians who mindlessly quotes (and misquotes, occasionally) what her bible indicates whenever they're backed into a corner with questions they either don't want to answer or CANNOT answer. But to hear her denounce Ray Comfort because he preaches "a false gospel" was a killer comment, and her statement that there are going to be a lot of bad people in heaven and good people in hell was a condemnation of her personal god. A classic example of insulting one's own intelligence as an attempt to spite one's detractors. Tracie is exceedingly polite, and has more than the usual measure of patience---but she is right to cut off anyone who is so mindlessly determined to inflict her brainwashing on others. THREE CHEERS FOR TRACIE!!

[@CJack14dt]

@@RikRiorik In a nutshell they had a guest on who made a controversial video about the trans movement. The ACA put out a letter saying they supported the LGBTQ community and the guest said that they threw him under the bus. So at what is normally a mundane election of board members, the guest's KZbin followers rushed ACA memberships, appeared, voted out any leaders who supported the letter as it was written. Eric (from Talk Heathen) who imo has always been sleazy supported them to keep his influence and they managed to fill all the seats and made Matt president (Matt was caught in the middle). So most all the other major more visible faces of the ACA who helped make it wonderful were pushed out. I was always big into the community service we did and they absolutely killed that part of it.

They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge

@WTF Again? Reminds me of something called the age of accountability for a child who dies before a certain age go straight to heaven. if that was the case would it be justified or evil to kill thousands of children under the age of accountability to ensure they go to heaven even if it meant you would go to hell for doing something evil. Would you trade your soul for ten thousand innocent children souls. Usually get something like I'll get back to you with that answer will look into that. But they can't give me a straight answer if it would be an evil deed. I believe only the Mormons have this age of accountability. But it just find it a little funny that they can't say killing ten thousand children would be a bad thing.they don't condone it and say it should be done but they can't say it would be a bad, that's why I always get done will look into response.

I am always impressed how the hosts will answer questions about their personal beliefs in a straightforward way. Conversely, most Christians become very evasive and uncomfortable when asked questions about their beliefs . It seems that god would want them to represent him in a very clear way.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Renee is our first caller today, and she is going to demonstrate the No True Scotsman fallacy."

Yeah I rolled my eyes so hard when Renee said that shit. It reminds me of an old youtube clip posted years ago of how two baptist preachers got into a fist fight because each preacher accused the other of not teaching the gospel correctly and thus sending their congregation straight to Hell. Think how insane that is. Atheists get shit on constantly for being fools and not wanting to convert but even people from the same denomination, with churches less than a mile away from each other, think that the other church is crazy for not believing their exact bullshit and will burn in Hell for it.
