KZread comments are at present disabled in our channel, to the displeasure of some. However, each video has a prominent link to the associated open thread that appears on our blog. In the past we've tried opening up the channel to comments, but we found that a very high number of episodes wound up being flooded with a combination of spam, long winded apologists, and various obscene or misogynistic comments directed at various hosts by people with an axe to grind. This seems to be the nature of KZread comment sections, in our experience.
We do moderate the blog, the same way that we moderate chat during the show, as well as comments on our Facebook group. For comment sections that are "officially" associated with our show (and, to a much lesser extent, channels that may give the unintended appearance of being official), we prefer not to play host to straight up ad hominem attacks and bigotry. As a general policy we do not block commenters simply on the basis of disagreement with our point of view. However, we do prefer discussion environments that don't actively chase off more reasonable contributors.

WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and 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.

    Ron Tucker That’s an lame excuse and a cop out. God didn’t have to explain quantum physics to them but he could have added to his list of “god rules”. Instead of saying don’t eat shell fish and don’t covet, he could have said “wash your hands before you eat, before you deliver a baby, or just wash your hands after going to the toilet.. This would have saved millions of lives. The biggest loss of life was through dysentery. You believe this god created germs right? So he would know that. Wouldn’t it have been nice if he had given people a “boil your water rule rather than a kill witches rule?

    In Exodus chapter 20 just after the famous Ten Commandments, there are some more commandments that are not often mentioned by preachers, I assume, because they are silly. "And if thou wilt make me (God) an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone, for if thou lift up they tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou go up by steps into mine altar, that they nakedness be not discovered thereon." Apparently, putting one's tool on the altar is unhygienic and the priests didn't wear underpants.

    They are major astronomical objects. They have been historically known, talked and written about for donkeys years. Before modern illumination, or when out in the country now, where there is no or minimal light pollution these things jump right out at one. Along with quite a few other very famous and historically recognised objects and constellations. BTW it is Pleiades. The Pleiades, or seven sisters is a fairly close constellation to us, and an obvious bright open cluster. I really don't imagine I need go on about Orion for fucks sake. When does this tool, and folk of his ilk think these were actually named? Does he think folk were blind going back in time. When after sunset it was bloody well dark. Or as dark as the moon allowed. Again, it is someone utterly clueless, talking about something he doesn't understand and has never given a thought about merely accepting bullshit someone else has baselessly asserted with not the first idea or thought regarding the veracity of the claim. Just a little critical circumspection should surely tell any reasonable adult that it is at best a baseless, and vague claim, at worst it is dishonest bullshit, and misleading gullible indoctrinated people.

    @@scienceexplains302 The Bible isn’t a book about oceanography. Its focus is about bringing people to salvation through Jesus Christ. The focus isn’t on describing everything about everything. Nowhere in the bible is the word “flat” used to describe the earth. But hold on: There a people today who believe the world is flat (the Flat Earthers Society). No doubt there were people in biblical times who thought the world was flat, too. This doesn’t mean ALL people in Biblical times thought the world was flat, let alone the authors of the Bible. It is very easy to read the descriptive words about the earth in the Bible and interpret the words to suggest flat-earth thinking (I get that) but doing so is only an equivocation. People who WANT to believe that the authors of the Bible thought the earth was flat are merely using their indifference to Christian beliefs to ridicule the Bible. Consider this: The fishing industry was huge in biblical times. It was not unusual to watch a fishing boat sail off in the distance to disappear over the horizon. But I suppose the flat-earthers in biblical times would be inclined to claim the fishing boat went off the edge. These were just people searching for an answer.

Myths about a flat earth were created when boats disappearing over the horizon didn’t return to shore, perhaps shipwrecked by storms or other disasters, even piracy.

    @@stryker1195 Psalm 103:11-12, contrary to Andrew’s claim in this video, corresponds to a flat Earth. It is for verses such as P103:12 that I think the authors were flat-earthers. It is as simple as taking them at the simplest interpretation their text. I agree with you that it is easy to interpret these verses as pro-flat. Why didn’t you stop there? Instead you claimed equivocation. Your evidence for equivocation was to change the subject to ad hominem “indifference to Jesus.” Or maybe you don’t know what equivocation means. I don’t understand why you would try to tell me what you think I WANT to believe. You come off as either arrogant and ignorant or so uncomfortable with your argument that you include such fallacies *in order to reassure yourself,* because it sure isn’t going to convince anyone else of anything except your love of using fallacies.

    The verse about "the east being far from the west" does NOT only work if the earth is round ya donut, it only works if the earth is FLAT! On a globe, East and West aren't places that can be far from each other, but rather directions of motion. You can get to the same place by going both east and west. But on a flat disk (which the biblical authors thought the world was) East and West are physical places, each at opposite ends of the flat earth. Within their fundamentally flawed cosmology, where the flat earth covered by a glass dome was the ENTIRE universe, the East and West edges were physically the farthest apart that anything in the universe could ever be.

    The blue whale (The only whale large enough to in theory swallow a human whole,) does not have a throat large enough to allow a human to pass through. The sperm whale does have a throat large enough, but the way it's mouth is designed means that it also eats by tearing things apart and would never even attempt to swallow a human whole. As such, it is physically impossible to be swallowed whole by any whale let alone being able to survive. My partner believes that if the story of Jonah was supposed to be true, that the whale (or fish,) is an allegory for like a slave ship or something. Of course I have already explained to her that by that logic then the story just being fiction is more believable.

    The idea of Orion being "bound together" is just a pretty transparent, overt reference to the shape of the constellation of Orion, which is a rough figure-8 shape; thats why why old astrologers/mystics talked about "Orions belt"- ie the narrow part of the constellation, where it kinda looks like the stars are "bound together".

    I’ve written this regarding other posts that make the same claim about the stars in astronomical arrangement of stars that we call certain patterns of the stars the fact is that stars move in that they are often so far away from each of that they are not bound by gravity at least not in the way that you are implying. The stars are bound by gravity only to the galaxy not to each other. The stars move independently within the galaxy in a few thousand years or maybe 100,000 stars will be in completely different position and that of our recognizable astronomical features will still be there. Polaris the Northstar will not be the Northstar in a few hundred thousand years. So you know though they don’t the constellations are not bound by gravity.

    The Pleiades ARE currently bound by gravity to each other, although they are drifting apart. They formed together in a nebula similar to the Orion Nebula M42 about 100 million years ago and in about another 250 million years they will be dispersed enough that they will slowly all go their own way.

    The star part was an epic fail. The star cluster called the Pleiades is not being HELD together by gravity, it's being torn apart by the combination of gravity and acceleration/momentum/inertia. You could discover them without a telescope, so knowing their relative VISUAL positions is not impressive. Nextly, as others had mentioned... Orion's belt's stars are very far from each other, at around 800 light-years which is about the thickness of the disk of the Milky Way galaxy itself. The stars of the belt are not gravitationally bound. In fact, the reference to BINDING in Job 38:31 only meant with regard to the apparent BELT he is supposed to be wearing. It's almost as if the passage was ENTIRELY wrong about the actual physics, if you wanted to try to make it scientific. At least they got the name right. OH WAIT, that was wrong, or at least profoundly ambiguous as well, with the constellations named kesil and kimah, NOT pleiades nor orion.
