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.

Especially Darth Dawkins. He's the worst of them. An ignorant, narcissistic old man who weaponizes the bible to 'dunk' on atheists so he appears smart. He's the very example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. He will bully and insult you whenever you don't follow his script. He will also use manipulation tactics to dodge questions and try to shut-up the atheists by constantly asking questions. You must give a specific response to his script, otherwise he will call you rude and evasive. When you're in a debate with Darth that has neutral mods, you must be assertive and not let Darth steer the conversation, otherwise he will interrogate you constantly and you will get to speak less than 20% of the time. Whenever you want to ask questions, he'd ask you to wait, but he will never allow you direct questions at him and what he believes until after the whole script, only clarifying ones if you're lucky. If the mods favors Darth, don't even bother speaking to him. He will use the mods to mute you and try to force you to say a specific response for his script. The goal is to get you to say, "I don't know." That's his trap. Avoid that and you'll see him get frustrated real fast.

I say this is a great victory if Christian Apologists must resort to presup. Presup is very easy to counter since their premise is always question begging and empty assertions. Darth Dawkins is the worst apologetic I’ve ever seen. He’s very narcissistic and spiteful individual, especially when you don’t follow his little script.

@@JayMaverickFrom having watched and talked to him he seems to think he’s owed the authority of a god. Like most theists who act like this. He’s said before though he knows he can’t prove anything he says when I asked him how you DEMONSTRATE his “god” exists, how it came to exist, why/how it “created” anything, why it made us, why his god gets special treatment versus other gods, and how he knows ANYTHING he believes about it is accurate. A common thing with guys like DD is that this is ALL about HIM and is 100% based around his emotional entitlement and need for constant validation. They have weak faiths and they come here to vent by insulting people and acting childish. Which is why they speak in absolutes and insist that they’re the only ones that can be trusted to have accurate knowledge of anything. They know the facts aren’t on their side so they dismiss them. It’s why he deflects so much rather than DEMONSTRATE what he says is true. From what we’ve heard and witnessed (Tom Rabbits channel has this info I believe) he’s such an awful, abusive person his family left him, and he refuses to acknowledge fault. Once again demanding godly authority to dismiss his behavior. When you give people the ability to say they “speak for god” then they lose all character, and demand to have their detached minds praised for acting atrocious.

But that is, I propose, due to us not specifically teaching six year old's the process of logical thought, because I have encountered highly inquisitive children around the age of six who very diligently follow a logical process of reasoning, despite not knowing that's what they are doing.

A question, i might add that i have heard him give a 45 minute lecture before getting to. And he still never gets to any question.

The caller wants to drop twenty tons of gishgallop onto the hosts all at once, then force them to sort through it while the caller makes vague, unsupported excuses the whole time - which is just more gishgallop. The last things an apologetic wants are fair, unbiased discussions, or to forced to actually answer a question. And he'll absolutely cry 'foul' if you don't dance to his tune. This is a common tactic in any online forum dealing with religion, politics, etc. It is inherently dishonest.

Interesting to hear people call in, who are bullies and can't comprehend being cut off
He expects the whole comment section to now read "Oh, those dishonest hosts don't let callers speak or finish their question". He will be disappointed. If that is a state he recognizes.
The caller doesn’t appreciate that what one thinks is a product of HOW one thinks. Minds can be open or closed, which is the fundamental difference between those who are seeking truth, and therefore open to new data points, and those (theists) who embrace a fixed narrative and are unwilling to allow evidence that doesn’t fit their preconceived belief.
I don't see why presupps attempt to convince other people. They're essentially saying "we take one particular interpretation of the Bible as given". Since they don't feel any need to justify that stance, it seems pointless to try engage with people who don't. It's just a complete dead end.

It's a classic crybully practice- just talk and talk and steamroll over the conversation, and when someone wants to throw on the breaks and get clarification or challenge an assumption, suddenly they're being attacked and persecuted.
Personally I would have let him get to his question, but I would preface that with “Okay, before I answer your question I would like to ask you a few things just to make sure we are on the same page if that’s alright…”
‘I’ll just assume I’m right in my big complex unproven belief because you believe in things you’ve proven’.
::Cough:: Darth Dawkins ::Cough:: Not worth the show's time.
Why do they let this caller through at all. It's totally pointless to let him rant and talk over everyone.
Eric loves the “my show” line so much an ego is a little to big to have productive calls
Trying to make their interlocutor look bad (rather than actually having a conversation) makes perfect sense for a presup, because they believe that everyone presupposes their belief, so they don't believe that either atheists or theists can be convinced, so pretty much the only reason for them to have a public debate would be to score imaginary points.
Gotta love it when your interlocutor feels at liberty to dictate your beliefs to you over your own objections.
Only the Sith deal in absolutes.
