Summary
Let’s get to calls. The first one is a returning caller, Corey from South Carolina. He called in last week talking about how prayer works and is evidence of God and returns this week to ask a poignant question about how to live together (Atheists and Theists) in harmony. (He also lets us know that he is doing some research on his call from last week. Great job Corey!)
Next up, Michael from Florida would like to talk about how he is questioning his faith as a Seventh Day Adventist. He goes on to ask what the Atheist view on prophecy is. Eric responds: “If we look at prophecy after the fact, how do we know it wasn’t just made up?”
Kevin has called us back and he has more proof of demons! He is saying an ancient text convinced him that demons absolutely exist. Kevin goes on to say that our times show that demons exist, it’s a cop out though and externalizes the blame that should be on us. We are responsible for our own behavior and we should be held accountable for it.
After Kevin, we have Adrian. He believes in a designer God because of evidence that was left behind. Evidence is a singular point of data that proves one thing vs. another. So PROVE IT Adrian! Bring your best evidence to the table, he also does try to prove the hollow moon hypothesis. Spoiler alert, he doesn’t prove anything. This is a crazy call… the goalposts keep moving, I’m getting dizzy.
Our last caller of the show, Paige in Indiana is wondering if having belief is ok if you receive positive reinforcement from said belief. They are a scientologist and claims they have gotten positive benefit from these beliefs. Dave responds “Me thinking it’s true and beneficial, doesn’t make it true, and beliefs can potentially become devastating.” Wow, this one is interesting.
Stay safe, stay healthy and we’ll see you next time heathens!
