You know believers taught that life here in earth is nothing you have to prepare for the forever afterlife so they don't really care about what mess and disaster they made in this earth as they won't live here forever but their offspring will suffer. Is just funny well glad i am not but yeah looking at the world now people destroy the nature to get temporary satisfaction and it will never be attained as happiness can't present without willing to acknowledge the suffering.

19:00 I saw a story on you tube recently about a dog who protected his owner's child by getting between the child and a rattle snake. The dog was bitten, but the owners had time to get the child out of the way. The owners then rushed the dog to the vet where it was treated fro the snake bit and made a full recovery. Then, instead of praising the dog for it's self sacrifice, the video praised God for making the dog protect the child. I pointed out, if God could make the dog risk its own life and get an incredibly painful snake bite, who couldn't he control the snake and just make it avoid the yard with the child in it? I speculated that had God done that the humans would not have known God intervened on their behalf, and the only reason God could have had to use the dog instead was so the people would know he helped them. In other words, God hurt their dog because he wanted to show off. It's like the guy who sets fire to a school so he can be seen as a hero who rescued the children. So ether there is no God, or God is the worlds biggest prick. Boy, they didn't like my comment one bit. *Update:* I am blown away at the comments my point here has generated. Plenty agree with me, but of those who don't, not one has offered a sound reason as to why God would control the snake to protect the family. Many seem to think I am saying God exists, I'm not, I'm pointing out that the place the "thank God" crowd is headed. There are two possibilities here. The snake, dog, and family members were all working on their own trying to accomplish whatever goals they had in mind. The dog sees the snake, knows it is a threat to his family and, on his own volition places himself between the threat and his family. The dog did this because the *DOG* wanted to do it, or at least wanted to protect his family. In this case it is the *DOG* who should be thanked, because God had no part in it (assuming he exists at all) The other option is that God takes control of the dog and FORCES the dog to protect the family. But if this is what happened, God would still not deserve any thanks, in fact, he deserves scorn because he could have saved the family bu controlling the snake instead. But if he had made the snake go away, no one (not even the dog) would have known it was ever there. If God's goal was to be seen as a hero, he hurt the dog to show off. If his goal had been to protect the family, then he should have controlled the snake.

How can God smell pleasing aromas of sacrifices if he has no body? How does he speak to Adam, Abraham, Noah and Samuel if he has no vocal cords?

Bruce Geddings who are you talking to

Just about a minute into this and I had something of a revelation occur. Aron said that because he knew water was H2O when he was 8 yo, that he knew there was something up with the "water into wine" story. So his skepticism began early. Having heard him say similar things before it took until just now to realize that had he gotten a fundamentalist-home-school-pseudo-education rather than a decent science-based public school education to provide him with a base point for factual knowledge with which to compare impossible claims, that we may not have had one of rationality's & science's most staunch advocates & defenders. That so well punctuates why proper reality-based education is so damn important! Having read his book and watched most of his educational videos I can say from personal experience that his tireless efforts to promote the weighing of evidence paired with a reasoned approach to critical thinking would have been a great loss had his mind been closed by dogma before he was informed well enough to know better.

Life really does make sense without religion. Durring the times of blind faith life was very confusing. People would always say prayer fix everything. But in the end I realize I had to fix anything that was broken in my life and that prayer had nothing to do with anything.

An interesting point I'd like to bring up is a time when my family went on vacation and at some Florida Chinese buffet they prayed for the meal as they always do. Some of our family later that day had food poisoning and felt sick and nauseous. Well whats the f*cking point of praying for food if your prayers can't keep people from getting food poisoning? ""It was his will"" If it's his will then why bother praying for something your prayers won't change? I haven't prayed for a meal in 6 years since I deconverted and you know what I've noticed? Nothing changed. Food still nourishes me according to what I eat and junk food still makes me gain weight. The most Christian nation on earth that prays more for their food than any other country still has the world's largest obesity problem. The food ain't changing because you say some recitations over it.

@Urrcreavesh No, it's WAY worse. The Templeton Foundation, a theistic research organization (no, really) actually did research the effects of prayer. And, credit where credit is due, they did actually go for the scientific approach. They selected a number of (christian) people who (IIRC) got a coronary bypass operation and divided them in three groups. The first group was prayed for and was informed that they were prayed for. The second received prayers but wasn't informed about it. And finally they had a control group that got no prayers for them. If there was any merit to praying this would probably be a little bit unethical, but hey. Also, they didn't just have anyone praying, they hired professionals. Nuns and priests of the relevant christian flavors (fitting the patient) were tasked with praying for the specific patients. The patients who got prayers and weren't informed and the control group showed about the same amount of complications. So far, no surprise. The surprise was that the group that got prayed for and was informed about it had a statistically significant HIGHER amount of complications, probably due to the additional stress these patients received from thinking that their situation must be dire if there's already priests and nuns praying for their survival. So please, DO NOT pray for me. Do you want to kill me?

When he talks about how god does things, it reminded me of a story from my 6th grade science class in a Catholic school, and we were supposed to explain how something, I don't recall what, works. I couldn't remember the answer, I started writing (in pen) and realized I was wrong, tried again, realized I was wrong, and tried again - each time hurriedly scribbling out the former answer. Finally, I just wrote (being the smart ass I was) "Because God wills it." My teacher had a sense of humor, and when I got the test back, she had written - "God also wills neatness and organization." It was only much later that I realized that, in a Catholic school, my answer should have been correct.

Whoa! _The Devil and Billy Markham_ - which I read in Playboy about a bazillion years ago. Nice reference, Aron!

Luckily, when the words are good enough, the audio doesn't need to be.

AronRa Really enjoyed this one, so much so that I've listened to it twice today, and the second time I was busy in the other room for a bit, so I've started it again. I've almost never heard anyone discuss something that seems to me to be an excellent example of how Christian theology about God, as described in the bible, has very little comparison to reality we observe, specifically in our nature. In fact, I would imagine it's probably the foremost innate characteristic of our lives (existence for that matter)..... they all worship and want to spend eternity with the God of No Humor. I mean, sure there's some pretty vague irony here and there that can be extracted, but that's not really a part of the natural mechanism in us that we almost ALWAYS employ, in nearly EVERY situation, EVERY day we are alive pretty much. My dad once told me, "When you look at an armadillo, you don't see God's humor??" no, not really, I mean _kind of,_ but that's pretty much a non-sequitur until you can prove that the armadillo _was_ created by him, which means he created everything... so yeah, NOW it's a little bit funny, but more of laughing AT you, dad. Sorry! I dunno, maybe I'm spitballing here, but it sure seems to me like an ENORMOUS issue. Just consider how, especially for guys, the countless ways we constantly underpin our activities and conversations every day with humor, and more importantly, what IS humor, really...? Making ourselves and everyone feel better and more connected and relevant to each other by mocking all the little mistakes and predicted mistakes...? Uh, yeah, pretty much. So then it brings up an even BIGGER issue, for me anyways.... just TRY modeling a universal state of "perfection" AND the implications of humor.... good LUCK. What will there be to laugh at? Yikes! I am NOT interested in ETERNITY with the God of NO Humor. NOPE. NOPE.

One interesting explanation for the "turning water to wine" trick is something my mum pointed out to me a little while ago: back in the day, before the art of wine making was properly researched and eventually perfected, they didn't filter out the fruit rests before the fermentation process. Instead, they left them in the barrel to ferment together with the rest. So one very simple way to "create" wine out of water... would be to simply fill water back into a decanter that has a bunch of those fruit rests in it, maybe because the barrel was almost empty or maybe the innkeeper was trying to scam his customers- either way, with wine that's barely stronger than 2-5% in the first place, you likely wouldn't notice the difference between actual wine and just water with grape stuff in it.

God is the extention of the ego in people that are a *very* attached to it and doesn't want it to be harmed. Thats why they take it so *very* personal when you critique their concept of god.

14:48 One of the obituaries in my local hometown newspaper was very sad to read today. And it was pitiful to see the extent to which the parent would go to praise the Lord for their baby's untimely death and to make believe that the baby was carried away to heaven where they will see him again one day: "We don't always understand the Lord's ways. He has a purpose for all of us. On April 3, 2018, he needed my sweet baby boy ... The Lord wrapped him in His arms during his sleep and carried him to Heaven. [He] was beautiful, funny, sweet and so smart to be only six weeks old. You could see in his eyes he was an old soul. He had been around this world before and his purpose was to show his daddy and I what unconditional love is. He was here to bring joy and laughter to everyone who got to know him. Most of all, he was a snuggler. [He] was the best baby you could ask for. He didn't cry or fuss and loved to eat. That's why God gave him to us, to show us how beautiful life could be if our hearts are open to it. [He] was too perfect for this earth. He served his purpose here and God gave him his wings to remind his daddy and I to live our lives so we can see him again some day."

I can understand people wanting to find comfort in the face of such tragedy. I don't believe their baby went to Heaven, but I believe when such things happen, we all have an important lesson to learn from it. No matter how bad things get, each of us is lucky to be able to experience life and make it as far as we do. In the grand scheme of the universe, we'll all pretty much be right behind that baby in giving up our lives to make room for the next lives.

Thanks for talking about the connection between air and the concept of spirituality. It's *right there* in the name! The "spirit world" is simply what people USED to think air was. As a former believer in woo, I would probably have explained miracles as times when the rules of the "program" were just changed or suspended by the devs. Like an actual computer program, the universe would normally just act under its own rules, unless the programmer -- in dev mode -- intervenes. With water to wine, someone would probably eventually claim that the atoms just poof into existence. One moment they're there; the next moment they're not. Like a computer screen switching between images: one moment a pixel is blue, the next it's red. That's a fundamental disagreement between believers and non-: I now understand that there's no reason to think that the laws of physics could ever change or be violated, or even if such a concept is coherent. Believers assume that these laws (comparing them to human laws) can be broken or suspended.

A lot of stories in the bible are exaggerations of natural events. The story of mountains leaping into the sea could be a retelling of the explosion of the volcano that formed the island of Santorini where the top of the cone blew off and into the sea. The story of Lot is a description of a rift valley volcanic eruption and Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt is like the people in Pompeii enclosed in volcanic ash.

@gageblackwood8832

Mark Dichter The story of Lot's wife originates in the extremely high salt content of the Dead Sea (the lake on whose shores Sodom was located). As the water evaporates it leaves strangely shaped salt deposits on its shores - some of which resemble human figures. To me that's the most likely origin of legend of a person turning into salt in this particular location. I've been to the shores of the Dead Sea and the tour guides routinely point out salt deposits that could be "Lot's wife." I agree about the Santorini volcanic eruption possibly inspiring some bible stories. For example, the dust could have turned the Nile red and led to the story of it "turning into blood."

I watched an interesting documentary about the Ten Plagues of Egypt, the whole idea was that instead of being supernatural miracles, they were scientifically explainable natural phenomena, caused by a massive environmental disaster: A colossal volcanic eruption near Greece and Italy (I forget the volcano's name by Mark Dichter might well be talking about the same one) which spewed clouds of ash and dust that covered vast areas of land, including Egypt. This effects of this event were purported to last over a period of 3 years or so (give or take) The river of blood would not have been blood, but the volcanic dust dissolved in the water, giving it a red colouration. The dead fish would be the result of the water now being polluted with toxic ash. The frogs would be forced out of the water, unable to tolerate the conditions in the river. They would be unable to return and eventually dry out and die. The flies and other insects would be attracted by the dead frogs and fish. Insect populations would soar, unchecked by the now dead frogs. The dead fish and frogs would start to putrefy under the heat and rot, flies would carry the disease, which would spread to the livestock (There are flies in Egypt that can spread disease through biting animals). Those cattle spared by disease would die from dehydration, unable to drink the toxic water. Now the boils could be put down to disease, but here is where it gets interesting, according to the documentary, there are medical records of Egyptian people being treated for painful boils with a collection of different ingredients mixed together to form an alkaline paste. In addition, the records contain reports that the Egyptians started suffering from these boils soon after contact with riverwater. Finally, along with dust, volcanoes eject vast amounts of gases into the atmosphere, including hydrogen sulphide, which can dissolve in water to form sulphuric acid. A conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the waters of the Nile were acidified, the boils may in fact have been chemical burns. The thunder and hail storms can be easily explained. You have a massive volcanic eruption spewing out massive amounts of ash, that is going to have a persistent knock on effect on the environment, resulting in inclement weather including rain, lightning and thunder. Locusts can be attracted by changes in weather, their eggs can remain dormant and hatch under the right conditions. The inclement weather brought about by the volcanic eruption may serve as a catalyst for the arrival of locusts. 3 days of darkness is also easily explained, a thick, expansive volcanic ash cloud will block out the sun. Even ordinary clouds can do that. The firstborns death, while perplexing, isn't an enigma. First, bear in mind that the locusts would naturally swarm and devour the Egyptian's crops en masse. In order to stave off famine, the people would have to resort to grain stores instead. One hypothesis is that the grain was contaminated with ergot, which is more likely to grow at the onset of spring or in periods of rainfall. Crops that were harvested during the rainy periods would have been more likely to have greater concentrations of ergot fungus. Second, it is important to understand at this point that in Egyptian culture, the first-born son is paramount. In a famine type situation, the first-born would get priority access to the food stores, other family members would get scraps or nothing. Thus, it would be mainly the firstborns eating ergot-ridden food. Thirdly, ergot poisoning will fuck you up something fierce. Symptoms varied, but included: - fever - nausea and vomiting - hallucinations and irrational behaviours - muscle spasms, tremors, convulsions and seizures - muscular enfeeblement, restricted blood flow due to severe vasoconstriction, possibly leading to gangrene. - unconsciousness and death If it didn't kill you, you may wish it had. Though many of the firstborn children would be killed by this, not all would actually die. Some may have survived the ordeal as ergot poisoning is not invariably fatal. Others may not have eaten contaminated food, as it wouldn't all be infected. At this point, the standard, age-old human storytelling devices come into play. Embellishment, exaggeration, fabrication etc. 'Many of the firstborns' would progress to 'Most of the firstborns' then, with enough time & retelling, 'All of the firstborns'. I may have misremembered some details, or not explained it as well as I could have done, but all in all, I found that documentary gave an interesting and rational explanation of how these events could feasibly have taken place.

I didn't know AronRa had a son. It makes me happy to know another atheist kid is being raised out there somewhere.

@ Event Horizon - True, I actually grew up in an evangelical, fundamentalist baptist church so I know how scary they can be.

I understand the whole golem thing but citizen x says that the idea of god is older. It possibly comes from the evolutionary advantage of recognizing other people have minds. If you treat people like a prop or an inanimate object you tend to do as you please regardless of what they might think. If they have something you want you take it. If they are in your way you push them out of the way and so on. People don't put up with being treated like objects and retaliate.. those who evolved empathy and compassion had a better evolutionary advantage. We are a social species which relies on others for survival thus those going solitary die off, those with sociopathic disorders die off, and those with severe autism struggle to incorporate into society. If we stopped at that we'd be just fine.. it would basically be secular humanism. Also a lot of this may be way older than humans... chimps are social too. Since people were ignorant and surviving simply by agency detection perhaps things they didn't know also had some consciousness too? So some people gave the clouds, trees, rocks, stars, fertility and everything else they couldn't understand a human like consciousness.. This is basically animism .. inorganic matter has animal minds too. As time went on they then questioned their own existence and stuff like the clay figurines and the zodiac (patterns of stars, seasons, and so on) were incorporated. Air was something we needed to breath and became the spirit or the breath of life. As more time went on all of these things became more and more human like.. Some were a combination of animals and humans but many were basically just humans. This is polytheism.. such as Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek and Norse mythologies for the abrahamic religions. They couldn't possibly worship all of these so maybe just a few were important. For Greeks you have Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Aphrodite, Athena, and so on but no temples to Atë. In canaanite myth you have El, Yahweh, Asherah, Ba'al, and Molech. In Egypt you have Osiris, Horus, Isis, Ra, Anubis. Gradually 1 god is worth worship but the others still exist.. As seen in the bible. You can't have any gods before Yahweh but they all certainly exist. And then you have the idea of only 1 god. Yahweh becomes the only god and gradually becomes invisible and all knowing. As time goes on the Jews were being promised Canaan but they kept being defeated and had numerous human messiahs to save them from Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome but they inevitably all failed... but the spiritual messiah Jesus if he was written into history and Romans can join they could eventually get free from persecution which they did.. The modern denominations come later.. People certainly didn't all practice the same christiany before the ecumenical councils and literacy to read the bible. The mixing of religions is obvious too.. much of genesis is Sumerian myth, many of the laws come from Sargon and Hammurabi, and a mythical Egyptian Mises. The city of Jericho being built by a demigod from another religion. The idea of a bad god. The idea of an eternal pit of fire. Tartarus + second death + Hades + dante's inferno. Some accept science when it doesn't apply to god and some avoid evidence about anything so they can believe the world is flat and 6000 years old in which vaccines cause autism.

Dustin Furness in a nutshell : agency detection led humans to see motivated agency everywhere. This is called "agenticity". Agenticity led to animism, which evolved eventually to polytheism and henotheism and then the universe itself was given agency and evolved into modern monotheism, where God is the ultimate agent. :)

Dustin Furness indeed, emotions over reason. I hate it, but understand that it fits with how humans are wired psychologically. We seek security and comfort over reality...

munstrumridcully Exactly! Humans fear death and the unknown. I understand why we turn to these things because it brings us comfort. We want to know that death is only temporary and that we’ll see our loved ones. But that’s why it’s so important to treasure these things now because life is short.

Shortly after you were in Milwaukee is when I discovered you. Please come back soon.

Thank you A A Ron, I hope you get it. Really appreciate how you verbally put together the total lack of logical thought involved in scripture/belief.

I was in the marines when I found out my daughter had a strange disease and died before I got out. If you believe in this gos, explain to me why a god would take someone's kid, why he would when they aren't even there for them. What kinda god is that sick.

If they believed the air was the spirit responsible for keeping beings alive, then how did they interpret fish?

Erick Lopes Maybe they noticed the fish popping in and out of water.

Maybe but shellfish doesn't pop out of water, and it's not like they didn't know shellfish, or didn't know they were living things. Many passages in the old testament forbid shellfish consumption. Maybe this is why they despised shellfish, they didn't have the breath of life. It's important that we understand this before a fundamentalist brings it up calling bs on our understanding of their myths.

Ancient civilization didn't know oxygen was even a thing. I really wanna know how they interpreted aquatic beings if they believed air was spirit. Fish had no spirits?

I remember as a second grader in Catholic school not believing these stories but I knew better than to ask a nun how this could be true. Oh my gosh they were mean!

At 7 years old preparing for my first communion the nun was explaining how Jesus was present in the host in a real way. I asked her then if that were true wouldn't I hurt him when chewing the wafer? She got angry and thought I was being a smart ass but I was sincerely concerned 😟. Having grown up and realizing how many ridiculous things I was taught to believe it makes me Smile whenever I recall this 😊.

Of the known attributes of God, you left out that he likes barbecue...well done.

At 55 years old every day now is a reality check slap in the face. God can only exist in the presence of ignorance. When a person hurts another person based on an unsubstantiated unverifiable myth, regardless of the source, be it religion or one of the new societal forms( there are several) they are performing evil actions. If they don't know their motivation is untrue I will call this passive evil. If they do know, that is active evil and a crime. Am I describing you?
