Okay, here we got a standby.

Three, two, one.

The Thinking Atheist, it's not a person.

It's a symbol.

An idea.

The population of atheists in this country is going through the room.

Rejecting faith, pursuing knowledge, challenging the sacred.

If I tell the truth, it's because I tell the truth, not because I put my hand on a book and made a wish.

And working together for a more rational world.

Take the risk of thinking for yourself.

Much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.

Assume nothing. Question everything and start thinking. This is the Thinking Atheist podcast, hosted by Seth Andrews. A friend and fellow activist John W Loftus just reached out to me a few days ago. He had published kind of a distilled down version of a book that he released in November of 2021.

The books called God and horrendous suffering.

Kind of a deep dive into what we call the problem of evil.

I like to call the problem of needless suffering,

John would call it horrendous suffering.

And it's a good problem to bring up, because when you and I engage with these sort of blank-eyed happy, clappy Christians who say God is good all the time, he is perfectly

just an omnipenevident, right, everything happens for a reason, and then you and I ask reasonable

questions.

We're like, well, hang on just a second.

25,000 people are going to starve to death today.

I think they might take issue with the bumper sticker on your car that says God is good all the time Jesus never fails.
