Why isn't you atheist Communists have no coverage of your convictions and don't choose to live under a Godless Utopia like North Korea why do you choose to live under what Christians created if you hate Christianity so much. How stupid is it to try to turn the civilization that you choose to live under into the civilization you choose not to live under.

I used to look at it the same why I looked at my atheism - that is, it is a position on one single issue, being the belief in a deity. Outside of that, I do a lot stuff that theists do, outdoor sports, tinker with muscle cars, enjoy family time etc. Outside of theism, theists are just like me. Except... ...for people like Jim "I'd still be a virgin if it wasn't for the prison sex" Castleberry. That dude is nuttier than a peanut butter factory and I'm sure has no life or hobbies outside of theism and ankle bracelet trackers.
The mental gymnastics performed by theists never cease to amaze me. Even when you walk them through a flaw in their doctrine, their brains seem incapable of acknowledging the glaringly obvious right in front of them. Joe pulled out of every apologetic in his arsonal and then when backed into a corner he resorted to 'what about' bullshit which always makes me audibly groan. It's sooooooo annoying.
Every caller should have the same answer….you believe a story you were told, that’s it. No evidence or proof, just a story.

For that concept of a god to exist, it would ultimately be the source of everything in existence. Good, bad, or indifferent. To say it's the source of love, but not say it's the source of hate, is contradictory.
It's always nice when a religious caller allows that non-religious people can be (somehow, in his mind) loving and honest.
Tracy's on fire in this episode. Awesome to watch! Poor guy didn't have a chance.
I had two sets of pet rants and they have what humans would call a "personality". They are no all carbon copies all acting the same. I have had over a dozen dogs in my life and no two were the same. Even when I worked at a dairy farm for a few weeks on cow would push all the other cows away so I could pet her head. One always wanted to lick my face. None of this is proof for an afterlife it just means all living things at a higher level have feeling and emotions. I don't think bacteria does however.

“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! BUT HE LOVES YOU! He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!” -- George Carlin
Sometimes I wonder if people like Joe have moments of objective clarity, where something in their head goes, "wait a minute, does what I believe really make sense?" What happens then? Because we know they don't follow up on thoughts like that, otherwise they'd probably no longer be a theist. Fascinating.

15:42 “…no greater love than laying down your life for a loved one.” The caller also added the soldier jumping on the grenade to save the fellow soldiers. - This is not the greatest love, that could be just a reflex action for the greater good. He might be saving people who are complete strangers to him. The greatest love is arguably the person who cares for another for a very extended time period. That takes daily commitment after constant inflection of whether to do it day after day, regardless of the impact on your life.
One of the reasons why humans, especially mothers feel so much "love" towards their young, is that human babies are one of the most useless and work-demanding of all nature, so the prevalence of loads of oxitocyn and other hormones binding them to their babies secured their survival and the reproduction of those with the most "love". In nature you will find that mammals tend to show more "motherly love", as the babies depend on the mothers for everything, and in mammals or other animals that produce fewer young are usually the ones with the most protective and present mothers or parents. It's not really metaphysical, it's just survival.

The idea that “laying down your life for another man is the greatest example of love” is ridiculous! It reads like military propaganda. The easy part of laying down your life for others is that it takes very little time & almost no follow through. A soldier throws their body on a grenade to save another, is a sacrifice that takes only a few seconds. Rather the greatest example of love in the universe is the instinctual love that new mothers have to protect their young. Not only will a new mother willingly fight to the death for their kids, they do the much harder sacrifice, which is to spend every day for half their lifetime caring & sacrificing for their families. There is no greater love than a good mom.
Great show! Love it.
The soldier analogy is flawed, He does not sacrifice himself because he loves his colleagues ... he does it because losing one is better (strategy) than losing many. It is numbers, not love.

I love how they come up with a situation where his drivel falls apart, and he is just like, "no I mean in this one specific situation."

They die instead of leave behind. That's the evidence. Your model becomes unfalsifiable because you could claim simple survival instincts regardless of outcome. If the wolves left behind to die you'd argue evolutionary survival. If they succeeded you'd claim pack preservation.

Or the part about omniscience omnipotence was made up by men, and god is as incompotent as a anyone
14:02 “If a monkey steals another monkey’s banana, he doesn’t think it’s ‘wrong’.” Really? Then why does the monkey specifically steal it when the owner isn’t looking? Or more importantly, why does the thief run away fast. The stealing monkey knows damn-well that that’s wrong. AND there’s repercussions to that wrong event, too, so the owner-monkey knew it was wronged, too.
This guy has obviously never even considered the possibility that someone might have a counter to his lofty pronouncements.
I don't think I've ever experienced capital-L love. I must have no soul.
Soul = the experience of being me (which supernaturalists believe has an intrinsic existence, independant of the body/brain)

@Hampton_Doubleday_Jr Sophie had to choose between her 2 children which one dies. It drove her to suicide later. It the saddest most heartbreaking scene Merrill Street (sp?) ever played in a movie. They took only 1 shooting of it, too.

I have seen a movie of people who occupy territory shared with lions, and a man who can speak and with his tone and body language tell a lion that he must not steal the prey that he himself has just killed, and the lion retreats. These people do not routinely attack lions. This relationship can fail if strangers appear and act like lions' enemies. Does a lion have an immortal soul? What about a bull, or a bull elephant?
Don is like the Ten second comedy
What is soul and spirit? Alcohol and a music genre.
When I was a Christian, I thought I had a spiritual counterpart that was like me, but non-corporeal, ectoplasmic, That was what I equated with a soul. And also felt all animals had one too. When I died and after the world ended, I would be alive again, but not strictly corporeal, in heaven, and so would all my pets and I could play with them forever. Then, eventually, over many years of experience, I realized I couldn't believe in an all-loving God who cared about human beings, who prevented suffering, and so on. And then shortly after that I accepted that I would not live again in heaven and see people and pets I loved. That was, for me, the hardest thing to let go of.

you know, christians don't all have the same eschatology. a lot of xtians seem to think life will be incorporeal in heaven, in spite of what revelation says. i knew a christian who didn't believe in a soul, and that when we die, we stay entirely dead until god resurrected us. i don't think any two christians believe in the same god or afterlife concept.
So smashing babies against Rocks is A God of Love??? See psalms 137:7-9 ultimate source of joy and Love I think not
What is the ultimate source of irritation?
Fight or Flee ...
So, the hosts are for the sake of arguing a god exists they debate the caller that you don't really need a god as a source of love because it's already innate and expressed in the animal world and in humans. It evolved just as we did.
How can a SUPER LOVE just leave earth and he himself goes back Up and continually watch people suffer and tell them to endure until I come back KNOWING he is Almighty like Superman😅,the Superman I know came down to rescue people any time from dangers! By the way Superman is fiction but he rescued people, ain’t this Supernatural Being who claims I’m ultimate love NONFICTION according to believers! And just left and watching chaos on earth!?😅
No no no, according to this book a Human taught God don’t kill good people or say please know what love is! The conversation between them continued until the number was 10😅even that Human begged this God not to be Hot with Anger during that conversation 😅
I don't understand how christians can really think that jesus was the first guy to say "Hey, let's all be nice to each other for a change!" I know lots of people are totally ignorant of history, but crap that's stupid. Thanos (as I hear) kills half of all life in the known universe and it's an inconceivable tragedy, god kills 99%+ of life in the (then) known universe and it's a cute children's story. And this is the source of all love.
Do you wanna know what would’ve been great? If they would’ve let him finish a freaking sentence.
Interesting, ultimate source of love, yea I can think of quite a few genocide maniacs that killed as many people and animals as possible for something they did. I think this guy needs a dictionary, he's read the wrong meaning for love, same amount of letters in kill and love but the similarities end there.
The guy obviously has no idea what real love is.
So, what is love?
Wouldn't it have made more sense for God to put himself in Hell forever? Wouldn't that actually be taking the punishment for our sins? And we all get to be in Heaven no matter what?
It's consciousness.

You want to know about Jesus? How would you like it if someone came up to you and said, “I love you, I really, really love you, but if you don’t love me back, I’m going to set you on fire. That’s Jesus. That’s not salvation, that’s extortion. And it’s definitely not love. It’s like a Mafia thug telling you to obey the boss or I’m going to break your kneecaps. If you can love that person, you have a twisted idea of love.
God is the ultimate source of imagination.

Wow, yes there are potentially bigger sacrifices than death, like giving up yourself to take care of another like a mother or father, doing the things that no one is willing to do, Or being willing go to torture for the potential benefit of some of other, Like God could have broken his will the original system he made and sacrifice himself to Bear all eternal torture and given everyone knowledge about it, ingrained justice in nature, and made a way to direct that sacrifice so no being had to suffer.❤

The hand grenade story is not nearly as good as that of the 'gay' man of September 11, fourth aircraft, who knew the religious terrorists were taking them to their deaths and they might as well fight back, foil the enemy, whether it kill them or not. A man who throws himself on a grenade that is going to kill him, in order that others be saved, merely needs that they be on his side.
religionist caller has heap-loads of intellectual truth seeking rigor. How could he not?
If Jesus was god , dying in one event for people’s salvation OR Stick around into old age and be a great teacher 🤷♂️ Number 2 helps more people , number 1 relies on untestable supernatural claims. Going out in a blaze of glory is dumb macho idea , a lifetime fighting for equality and civil rights would benefit society more. No one event is better than living to make the world better.
Love is a feeling an emotional feeling, which isn't quantifiably accurate, not like fear which can be triggered pretty easily, but love? fMRI can track brain regions for stimulus, how closely related is joy, or.... Awe, I'm sure love is evolutionary in its own way, keep the breeding of species although grudge sex may not include love, yet still produce offspring, so what if it doesn't rise to the occasion of love, maybe ...crush, does crush trigger stimulus like love, or a different region, point being, jealousy is not an emotion! How does one decipher what counts as emotion, the chemical factory of the brain, the hypothalamus releases the chain molecule triggers the fight or flight reaction, which gets the awareness levels piqued to save life, that's an evolutionary benefit, jealousy is not an evolutionary benefit so there's no molecular chemical chain dispensing jealousy into the bloodstream ergo, not emotion. Anger and suspicion, I don't know the proper mix of chemicals but whatever combo we've now labeled as jealousy, there's many feelings like love, jealousy, etc that are not an evolutionary benefit so many mislabeled emotions/feelings being conflated as biology, the soul, another unquantifiable thing, hijacked and used as control verbage, doesn't make it a part of reality
