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.

it's actually simpler than that if these people would just pick up a bloody telephone and CALL THE PUBLISHER OF THE BIBLE and just ask "Hi Guys, I love god and i want to follow the word of god and no other, But.. it's really important to me that i am following the ACTUAL word of god, so i'd like to ask you a question and i'd like an honest answer... My questions are 1. Did you create this bible that i have in my hands ? If they say YES... 2. So can you tell me..... IS THIS BOOK ACTUALLY AND LITERALLY THE WORD OF GOD ? " the Answer to question 1 will be YES , Unless you called the incorrect publisher The Answer to Question 2 is going to "No it's not LITERALLY the word of god" and..that is all they have to do . IT'S 1 PHONE CALL TO GET THE CORRECT ANSWER FROM THE SOURCE THAT CREATED THE BIBLE THEY ARE HOLDING IN THEIR HAND This source is verifiable The fact they created that bible is verifiable Their are invoices to prove they paid for the materials Business statements are available as public information and you get told directly from the horses mouth as to whether it's god's word or not Again... IT'S A PHONE CALL Let's ask .... Why has not 1 christian made that call when i have repeated this multitudes of times Because 1. They know i'm not lying 2. They can take a pretty good guess as to what they will be told if they do Basically... They don't want to make the call
Jamie’s face when the guy paused at “if you could suck” was priceless 😂
I tried my ass off to help this caller when I worked with him to work through any portion of his shit. I worked with him for about a year and a half. It's challenging to work in the fields I do and not recognize specific speech patterns. I commend everyone for the patience with 'Rob' and his other aliases; he has many strewn across the internet.

@RupertMay compassion and kindness necessarily have to be given freely without condition. I don't need to agree with "Rob" to have these with him. I know a great deal more about this person that I can not share. Suffice to say it's not a Disney movie kind of story. "Rob" has the same wants and desires as anyone else, he just doesn't trust the carrot to not be the stick when it's presented.
Honestly my favorite call on Talk Heathen, cause you have to do something drastic to get your point across. Ripping the bible apart literally? No one has that as a part of their stupid script.
I think Rob just has his own religion in which he just pulls things out of his butt so he never has to admit when hes being contradictory

Ай бұрын
A friend's daughter of Daniel Dennett came up with that term, which he used in his 2009 speech at the American Atheists confernce. Deepity: In as far as it's true, it's trivial or obvious. In as far as it's profound, it's wrong or meaningless. The example that Dennett used to illustrate a deepity is the phrase "love is just a word." On one level, the statement is perfectly true (i.e., "love" is a word), but the deeper meaning of the phrase is false; love is many things - a feeling, an emotion, a condition - and not simply a word. Sorry if that came off as pedantic, i just wanted to make sure that we not only popularize great words such as this, but use it in its actual meaning. The internet definately has failed the term "trauma bonding" in that regard. Best of luck out there!

Eric's five commandments (tools). Applicable with or without copious amounts of bible ripping. 1: Follow the evidence wherever it leads. 2: Don't start with the answer first. 3: Be ready to be wrong, because when you are corrected, you get to learn more true things about the world. 4: If you find something and think that it's true, go out and test it. 5: If something is unfalsifiable (explains unfalsifiable and a bit of solipsism), then we're stuck, but that doesn't mean that you get to assert whatever you want. I would like to add another commandment that I first heard from the comedian Jim Jefferies. 6: Try not to be a c*nt.

The hosts need to understand that Rob cannot absorb any concept that requires more than one sentence to explain. His mental housing can only hold around 20 words of a conversation before the first start falling away. Please assume none of them can comprehend paragraph questions, and word the questions like they are children, because they really are.
thats gotta be one of the most idiotic people ive ever heard. and he sounds so confident. WILD
take away, every second you hear this caller talk about 1000000 of your brain cells will die
This guy didn't know who spider man was
I have listened to enough conversations with this particular caller to take him off the board as a proper caller based on the fact that he is either a crank or he's unable to formulate any level of critical thinking. He's even called in once and proposed a "global conspiracy", I fail to see anymore why he's allowed on. I don't even count him as a possible "teaching moment" for anyone else with the things he keeps repeating.
I wish my family could let go of religion/spirituality. I love my family, they're good people.

Paulie Walnuts over here needs to learn what logical fallacies are
"Stoning a kid to death is literally taking him out into the street and yelling at him." I don't think the caller is Iying. I think he's too stupid to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
How far in a religion do you have go to not know of Spiderman? He's either a lier or he needs to take off his Jesus glasses and start reading another book.
“How is it doing?” Christianity spent many centuries being extremely unpopular and requiring physical conquest to “find” new members. Did it only become true when its popularity reached a certain point?

@realdaggerman105 it could be due to the fact that the statistic is almost always coupled with the fact that by 2050 or so that Muslims will outnumber Christians. I would assume they either misread the original statistic or they are misremembering it. That's just my guess though.
37:45 test? What does that mean? Lol😂😂😂😂 you can't text god
Rob is trying to build a house (justifying his religion), and the hosts are telling him, “okay, what tools are you using to do that?” So Rob takes his hammer, his hoe, his spade and he tried to build the house (he literally used those examples). His arguments being flawed, they explain that you have to use the right tools, and he complains that he should be able to use ‘all of his tools’. Good luck building a house with a hoe and a spade 🙄. It’s a great analogy for not using the right tools for the job, and using his own examples to prove he is doing it wrong.
Popularity doesn't make any thing true, holy books are falable. Sherwood forest and Prince John exists. Nottingham is real but it doesn't mean robin hood did.
This guy is doing backflips to justify his belief. Why even bother with him?
Jees the usa education system is seriously broken
Every statement or question to Rob is the beginning of an entirely new conversation because he processes and retains NOTHING.
I'm afraid critical thinking is not in Rob's nature.
That dude is so confuse, only americans can be that duuuuuu....
Don't sleep with your daughter…. and then we have Job, although then it was perhaps more the daughters.
Not that it matters, but I just wanted to correct Jamie. There's more Christians than Muslims.
That was the law of Moses. The law of Moses was fulfilled when Jesus Christ was born. Atheists claim that Christians are required to obey the law of Moses. Paul explained the justification of the Law of Moses. The Isrealites had proven themselves incapable of obeying the higher law, so they were given a law of carnal commandments, which was a schoolmaster designed to bring them to the Law of Christ, which is a law of faith. The Law of Christ has two commandments. 1. Love the Lord thy God. 2. Love thy neighbor as thyself. If atheists loved their neighbors, they would not be trying to persuade them to break the Law of Christ.
You really need to chastise people at the beginning of the call, telling them they absolutely must not keep talking when a host is asking questions. Not only are they ignorant, when they are talking their ears are completely switched off. Perhaps an alarm noise that is loud on the callers end would work to interrupt their ramblings.
This guy rubbed off on me ie: I conclude that he is smart at being stupid!
Gentlemen, fallacy fallacy special pleading, extreme overconfidence, gentlemen.
History, ok let's use history. Go back and peel the layers of Christian beliefs and apologetics and see if you can believe the same. Hammering the radical disparate views of the past doesn't fit and if you scoff at them keep in mind that the yet to be modernized version of apologetics will in the future scoff and you. What is the real truth past, present, or future? My take away as a history geek was no truth to be found.

I'm paraphrasing because I don't recall the exact wording Rob used. So Rob believes there is only one god that manifests differently to the different regions which gives us the variety of religions.
