You're listening to, atheistically speaking. I'm going to Hey everyone. Welcome to atheistically speaking episode 16. Today I'm going to be

continuing from the bit I recorded on the article about reading the Bible in different ways how

progressives read it and how atheists might read it and so I'll be continuing that and

then I will see you again at the end for a short little segment and

We'll call it a day here it is

Number six we realize that there is no objective one right way to interpret a passage and we recognize that there is no

reading of any text including the Bible that doesn't involve interpretation.

We also realize that each person interprets the text via their own personal experiences, education

upbringing, and social political context, and more.

Okay, if you're going to say that about art, I would agree with you.

There's no one interpretation of art, but if you're going to say that about anything that...

And, and, okay, let me just say, I mean, art, I find art to be the most important thing we do in a lot of ways I mean I I write music I have talked about it in the last

episode or two couple episodes ago I write things. Art is fantastic, but when you're talking about ways to live

your life and things that affect your voting and things that affect how you treat other people,

there's not a whole lot of room for interpretation with these things.

Okay, how about this? With science, there's no room for interpretation.

There's no gravity.

Well, this is my interpretation of gravity. This is how I know. There's just facts. I understand that science doesn't cover everything though. I mean, there's you'd have to say philosophy and ethics and you know there's of course that that you need that but what

important aspect of your life I guess I ask you as atheists or just you know I guess I'll have to speak for myself.

There's no thing I live my life by

that I would say, well, there's no one right way

to interpret this.
