WHAT IS TALK HEATHEN?
Talk Heathen is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared toward long-form and on-going dialogue with theists & atheists about religion, theism, & secularism. Talk Heathen is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
Talk Heathen is filmed in front of a live studio audience every week at the Freethought Library of the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop & support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing & friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of government-religion separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists & 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.

Not because they have been brainwashed with all that supernatural nonsense of ANY religion, or because they like the idea that there is an imaginary skydaddy that takes care of them or because they like the idea that there is an imaginary afterlife! Anyway, science and especially evolution have already debunked the crux of christianity and the crux of all the other religions I know of ages ago. Moreover, there is not a shred of evidence for the existence of ANY god or Allah or whatever name they gave to their non-existing celestial dictator!

I think the caller was trying to do the cosmological argument, premise by premise. I love this show, and the man was rude and aggressive, but I don’t think the presenters handled his points well at all, very unusually.
This dude thinks because he knows big words, he makes a solid argument!
Challenging religious ideologies is not `suppressing religious people.` While I certainly would not mourn the death of religion in general, I have no desire to destroy it, or dictate what people ought to believe. However, if the religious indoctrination machine can't stand up to scrutiny, to the point such scrutiny is seen as `suppressing religious people,` I'd say it doesn't need my help anyway.
It's always, you prove to me my god doesn't exist or is possible. Lol
This is Darth Dawkins. He has one script and he does not deviate from it.
With all of the arguing that EF did, he STILL did not prove that his God exist. He only wanted to argue to TRY to get "gotcha" moments. Under all of his words, he was "secretly" asserting his God.
What a rude caller. He was answered piece by piece, but he didn't like it, so he kept repeating and changing the question. Y'all have more patience than I do.

14:29 "I'm not being rude", he says, rudely. My word, I've never been this annoyed at someone trying to make their point by steamrolling the entire conversation, from start to finish, having zero interest in actually listening to any of the responses given, interrupting as soon as anyone tries to give more than a one-word answer, and getting annoyed when anyone interrupts him to try to discuss or clarify a point instead of letting him monologue ahead with his point, ignoring what people say in favour of throwing out principles of reasoning he has a very poor understanding of, all just to try to make lazy "gotcha" for the sake of scoring some imaginary debate points.
I don't understand your question. Liar 😠 He can't answer honestly because it would result in the admission that he's trying to avoid.
It's not that atheists want to suppress religion, we just want people to think critically and come to atheism on their own without forcing it. I don't want to be like religion and try to convert them or force it on them. I believe in freedom, freedom to believe or not to believe as long as you don't take that freedom from me.
Gary suggests that if you don't know how the internals of your phone work, you don't have the ability to use it... I don't need to know the ultimacy of existence
Don't talk over me, says the nitwit. But he is doing it himself.
"I'm not saying that's a requirement, I'm just saying it's a necessary prerequisite" is like saying, "I'm not saying that the Arrow III is an electric train, I'm just saying that it's a train that draws electricity from an overhead wire."
A mute button would have been really freaken nice during this call. My god. This guy boils my blood. He so stuck on his argument he won't even stop and consider what's being actually said.

We may have difference of opinion... For religious organizations, they should not receive government money. Period. No tax dodges, no risk free loans, none of the "government benefits" they currently enjoy. I also belive that all "societal boons" should be removed, just because someone is a priest, doesn't mean "oh they would never touch a child, they are a man of god". If a church, religious leader commits a crime, they are not to be treated differently. And... I think that's about it... they should be properly taxed on that property holdings, like every other organization... um... hmmm I think that's it. Is that "me wanting to cripple them", I don't think so. Would that in effect cripple them? Yeah, probably, they are fricking scams, relying on the gullability of the masses, and the tax deductions. At least a lot of the worst churches...

Asking the question "is it possible for a creator god to exist?" is basically begging the question, and demanding a "yes/no" answer that it isn't possible to provide honestly, because the only honest answer is "I don't know." All atheists can claim is they don't have enough reliable evidence to convince them that any of the postulated or claimed gods are real.
@starfishsystems
Ай бұрын
Moreover, a perfectly reasonable answer is that, no, it's NOT POSSIBLE for a creator god to exist. Because if that WERE possible, then it would also be possible for a creator of that creator to exist, and so on and infinitum. It would be better to ask whether it's possible that a creator god does NOT exist. And here the answer is yes. Reality could simply exist without some hypothetical intelligence operating behind the scenes. Until we encounter some evidence that a creator god is somehow necessary, it remains entirely possible that it isn't necessary. And we have found no such evidence.

Who cares if they can justify that they can reason. They clearly can. Unlike E.F.
So, by EFs question, is it possible that a pink unicorn farted the universe into existence? If not, whynot?
“Is it possible for a mind to exist without a material brain?” My answer would have been “is it possible for a ghost to poo without an anus?” I mean, come on… do we really need to entertain the ‘possibility’ of something completely made up?

The tag argument. Havent this been refuted hundreds of times
i know this is a throwback but i like the way Matt approaches the question "do you think its possible that this X and Y god exists? ", he usually says something like "yeah, its possible. but without sufficient evidence its on the same plain as the probability of unicorns existing." Also how can you ask someone to "reason" whether you need "logic" to "reason". that seems very circular... how could you answer that question without logic?
When pushed to make claims of "is it possible or impossible that a creator god exists" I would posit: "I have no reason to believe in its possibility." Now that'll obviously be responded to with "so do you think it's impossible", but the question is flawed. Sure, there is that point in reasoning, the same that can't solve hard solipsism, where we cannot claim things in our reason to be true; if you raise the standards to that level in a conversation it's most likely impossible to claim ANYTHING to be impossible. Can you truly claim it's impossible for the moon to be made of cheese? Have you been there? Can you without a doubt show a piece of the moon that is non-cheese? I can't, even the moon rock taken by the astronauts can be a lie. Fairies "can" be real, me being birthed by a man "can" be real, but none of them are reasonable to believe in. So forfeiting creator god being "possible" is a vacuous statement, it only holds value as a soundbite to be used dishonestly in god-belief's favor or mock people for the black swan-fallacy if they say it's impossible. It is a dishonest gotcha-question.
Like arguing with a fence
It's the give me the answers that I want or I'll accuse you of avoiding the question guy again.
Dang it! As soon as I heard him speak I knew it was Darth Dawkins.
Every time this guy says 'I didn't mention _______ ,' it makes me wonder if he thinks he's talking to himself. Other people get to mention stuff too, dude, holy shit. 😆
They actually did a shit job responding to this simple question. He asked “is it possible for a creator god to exist”. The easy answer given his definition is “I don’t know if it’s possible as that creator god has never been demonstrated”. The guy on the right absolutely made an argument from ignorance and weakly backtracked
Exactly what methods are they using to cripple the church financially? If it's simply removing exemptions because they want to speak politically over a pulpit that's not a method to financially cripple the church that's just making them live like the rest of us...
The default position is that there is NOT a god until one shows up. That is the Null Hypothesis.
