I have known so many people who were brought up Christian who when they grew up got out of it and now have very happy normal lives free of religion

Hey Seth glad you're okay. A few years ago I had quadruple bypass surgery. The night before surgery I slept like a baby because I was putting my life in the hands of science and a skilled surgeon. I didn't have to worry if I prayed long and hard enough or if god was going to spare me.

Several of my friends are getting through deconversion. I've never had a religion and therefore never had to go through it, so learning about what they could be going through is very helpful. Thank you!

Seth, glad you're doing better. I had those moments in my life where my heart was doing things it shouldn't. At that time, I was a christian, so did all kinds of praying. But in the end, it was a lifestyle change that managed to fix it. Any "prayers to a god" were just coping mechanisms that ultimately didn't make me feel any better. In the present time, any minor fluxuations are just ignored. Glad they figured out what was causing your issue. Good episode!

Loved this podcast, nice mix of humour and seriousness :)

As a pastor's kid, it's hard to maintain my stand against religion. I still have to pretend that I am one of them though deep inside, thoughts of skepticism run every claim they make. Sometimes I still get confused being new to atheism but your videos and thoughts I get the answers I look for clearing my mind. Thank you so much Seth and all other fellow atheists out there for continuing to bring the people on the sane side. Let's spread the good news! We can be free from fantasies! :)

Dear Seth, We've never met, but I've adopted you, also. Thanks for your wonderful podcasts.

Another great show, Seth. Thank you.

I wanted to say that becoming an atheist has been on of the few liberating experiences ive had in my life. Im mentally handicapped with severe epilepsy and related brain damage and have always felt a slave to it, helpless before something that destroys my very mind whenever i experience a seizure, but becoming an atheist removed many of the weights around my neck when it comes to these cultural delusions. Id rather deal with the social repercussions than lie to myself and accept such a collar.

Hey Seth, just wanted to say I love listening to your show! You are spot on about everything!

This podcast reminds me of a talk I had with my brother right after our mother died. In the past year I had lost my childhood belief in God, and my brother had seemed to lose his with me, and we had deep talks about the matter. But when our mother died, he told me that night that he'd prayed for her to live. I hadn't even thought of praying. He later married a Catholic and has become a church-going believer again, but I've remained an atheist.

Good to hear that you are not having a heart problem. Hopefully you get 110% better soon!

Glad you're ok!

I look forward to this podcast every week and am so surprised at how much I really like it.

Seth! you are the Best!!! Thank you for your outstanding work!!!

Hey Seth. I am so glad you are ok. I love your podcast and you. You have helped me so much. Love your empathic and understanding nature. The world needs you.

Seth I appreciate you so much! As a 57 year old woman who has finally found that my skepticism as a teenager had reason, I can't tell you that it feels good, but yet it hasn't been easy because after being in this lifestyle of Christianity for so long, it really hasn't been an easy transition. I have had periods of guilt, frustration, and periods of anger. I have to thank my son for giving the opportunity to share you with me.

Great podcast 👍. Very entertaining and informative. Thank you Seth

SWEET Thank you so much for the heads up.. I will check it out, DVR'ing it from my phone right now!!!
