Check out our latest interview with ARON : Exploring Atheism with KZreadr and Atheist Activist Aron Ra kzread.info/dash/bejne/lX6quqaxc6-aiLg.html

There is great harm in covering up who you are - in an attempt to appease others - because someone convinced you that honoring your community's prejudices is the only proper way to behave.

I've been through that. I was taught to hate myself, and others. There was one time I was in church, and the sermon was on love. I mentioned it to the guy who gave me a ride home after the service, and I said I really did not understand what the preacher was getting at. Rather than helping me, the other guy put me down and said I was not a christian. I had been baptised 2X and was doing church work on my own dime. Instead of helping me dig out why I felt that way, he said I would never understand and was destined for hell. I don't care what religion you are, or what you believe, that is no way to treat someone else. After he left, I called his wife and told her I would no longer need rides home from church. Now, I was still a believer at the time. It was another 7 years before I abandoned that belief. The next time I saw that guy, before he died, he was very upset with himself. He was very aware that he fit the opposite of the description of 1 John 2:10 "There is none occasion of stumbling in him." Grr, I spend more time with the Bible now than I ever did when I was a believer. This in spite of the fact that I read the Bible cover to cover multiple times before I left the faith. I use a "Strong's Concordance" and a King James family bible to research these before I post an answer. The reason for the family bible is because it's easier for me to read with the type size used. Even so, I still have to put my face about 12 inches away to read it without glasses. Look up the reference I gave. His wife tore him a new one for treating me that way. Just to be clear, it was not ill treatment that drove me away. I figured, if there was anything to it, there should be scientific proof to back up the claims in the bible. I left because I found nothing on any major claim. Young earth creation (no) the flood (no) the exodus (no)

Well, being honest, or asking tough questions like Socrates did, often leads to skeptics losing their jobs, families, etc. Religious cults thrive on group-think, as well as seeing independent thinkers as a subversive threat, because a moral atheist demonstrably disproves the false claim made by preachers that atheists cannot be good / moral people.

Aron Ra is definitely the Jedi warrior of Atheists.

Note; The Term "The Holy Religion Of Atheism" is not Me saying Atheism is a Holy Religion.

Taking Philosophy in University in the 90s taught me that an atheist is one who has no belief in God. The text book indicates this is from the Philosopher Paul Kurtz on page 20. It also indicates "more militaint" atheists claim no God exists as Aron Ra says Philosophers do. The textbook is Philosophy Paradox and Discovery 4th Edition. - Thomas A. Shipka, Arthur J. Minton I have mostly only encountered the negative definition from apologists in recent years though I have encountered many who call themselves agnostic but use the definition of atheist. My understanding is that agnostic is a statement of knowledge, not belief. I try to have those I discuss amd debate these things with define their terms before I engage because people do define their terms in very different ways. Ask yourself this, if you believe in God but can't define it, is it anymore than a slogan to you?

I really wanted to achieve dialogue with God. I remember how, in the late stages of my religiousness, some of my thoughts started to seem as if it was God talking to me. I was very aware of the illusion and I was like "crap, it's just my thought sounding like the voice of God" and I prayed on in hopes of actually hearing from him. At that time it didn't occure to me that those who hear God actually hear themselves but think it's God. I knew Christianity was no conart so I had no reason to think that someone would try to dream God up.

There are a lot of religious practices like contemplative mysticism, ritual trance, ecstatic dance, spirit boards, pendulums, hypnogogic induction, and the use of hallucinogens or psychedelics as entheogens that amplify that voice in some way. That doesn't touch on how prevalent other forms of divination were in ancient times that were a lot less direct, either. The Abrahamic traditions think their answered prayers are somehow different from the mystical incantations and divination methods of other religions, but they all use the same fundamental mechanisms.

I agree with you I try my best to learn as much as I can of the truth that I can but there's a lot of propaganda on both sides but that's here nor there I'm not trying to get political thanks for the talk I appreciate it I feel like I'm learning something you guys are awesome

Hello! Thanks for your support, and for watching!

Im from Alabama and I am die hard athiest. I agree with how Aron Ra defines how and why he feels the way he does. Once you give yourself the opportunity to see just how nonsensical and irrational religion is. You then realize just how scary it is. Especially when you see that we have people running this country who would rather govern the country by irrational means, and trying to change what kids are being taught because you think this world was created by a higher being. And even if there was a higher being that is beyond space and time. It is 1000% neither one of the gods of any of these religions. I would bet my life completely on that fact. I was more of an angry, irritated, evil, lying person when I was a believer. Once I let that go. I became enlightened with truth. And I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me or what they say. I know that religion WILL fade into the history of human existence. I believe that religion is just something we go through as a species. And eventually as we evolve through time. We will become a unified species because we will finally understand a realize that we are alone on this speck of dust. Its what the religious fear the most. And that is the fact there really is no god. And that dosnet mean our lives have no meaning. Maybe not to an afterlife. But the here and now! No one is saying you should just go out and use drugs and drink, have sex till your infested. No one is saying you have to kill, murder or whatever label we as humans put on something that we already know os wrong because we are a social species. And we want to thrive. It is really sad to see children that believe these things. Do you want the children of the world, growing up to believe in an imagination trick? Cause that is exactly what it is.

A need to be worshipped is such a human quality. A childish and self centered quality

Great point!

And one other thing, God says not to test him, except in the area of finances, he directly challenges you to test him, to give tithing a try and see what happens. And they do and their financial health improves markedly. Many instances of that, including my own financial health story. It’s results like that that you are up against, the experience people have of their life improving when they turn to Jesus. And personal experience is going to trump anything you can come up with because it offers relief that atheism doesn’t.

Mispronunciation of his name is a terrible way to start the episode

it's obvious there is a simulant involved here. Being a fellow flyer I know which one. Just saying! Maybe go back and hear what he said.

The biggest lier of all is the “holly spirit “ this is what keeps believers believing even when presented with the evidence. Because their rationality rests on the saying of the holly spirit which is their own saying and they don’t see why is it that the holly spirit always agree with their way of thinking.

Aron is the gold standard for atheists. He's just a nice guy and very knowledgable.

@@user-sd5go4rr4i I'm not talking about the "nice" part and only in part about the "knowledgeable" part. I'm more referring to "the gold standard." I'm a theist and I've watched lots of atheist personalities on youtube. In my opinion, Aaron Ra is near the bottom of the list when it comes to atheists apologists. I think his only strength is his memory and therefore his ability to list facts. This makes him sound really good when he is debating biological evolution with a Young Earth Creationist, because that battle is really just a battle of evidentiary support and all you need to do is lay out the facts and let them speak for themselves. But I put Aaron in the "bafoon" category. The lead rock that sinks to the bottom, because if you take him away from listing facts and accept intellectual honesty, the ability to reason through abstract thoughts, and defend his worldview he absolutely collapses. All he knows what to do well is lay out the evidences for evolution and then in a witty way make a caricature of God, of theists and their beliefs. I'm afraid that if you think Aaron is a gold standard then you haven't really watched many other atheist videos. Matt Dilluhunty is heads and tales above Aaron Ra. Cosmic Skeptic/Alex O'Connor is heads and tails above Matt Dilluhunty. Tony from "How Creationism Taught Me Science," who focuses on Young Earth Creationists like Aaron does, does a better job then Aaron.

How does he see Christianity as left? That may be a thing about politics I don’t know.

Lol I can't believe he interviewed Aron and pronounced his name wrong

GOP Jesus? Was Aron referring to "The Alt-Apostle" by Darkmatter2525?

The "jedi" weren't exactly the good guys. the theme was to to bring balance to the force, not to destroy the dark side

The Jedi believed that the dark side of the force is inherently discordant, and that its presence disrupts the harmony of the light side of the force. So what they meant by bringing balance to the force was essentially a crusade and an inquisition. Despite the pantheistic concept of the Force and the references to meditation, Star Wars is ultimately more akin to Christian Dualism than Daoism

That was a later interpretation. Lucas made it very clear that in his mind the jedi are right about everything. You might disagree with that idea (so do I) and explain the movies from a different paradigm in consequence, but authorial intent is clear.
