Summary
Let’s get to calls! Max from Israel would like to address about how Islam has culturally appropriated ancient sites, particularly ones in Israel. Apostate Prophet gives his perspective and gives a fascinating quick look at the history of the region.
Rami in Massachusetts is up next, he has faced pushback from others on Islam. Most often being faced with “that’s racist” as a response when he attempts to talk about it and his thoughts on it. AP again explains beautifully how interwoven this is within a society and culture, and how they also attempt to be virtuous and impartial.
Araan in Germany would like to explain why he converted from Islam to Christianity. He goes on to talk about how horrible Islam is and how great Christianity is. Is it though? What about Christianity solved your material problems? Old books from the Iron Age (and before) aren’t really the best source to get ideas from though.
Zion in California would like to talk about the land that was taken by Muslims that was originally Ancient Jewish land. Why are we criticizing Israel for doing this? Again, Apostate Prophet provides an amazing look on what is happening and explains his view on it.
The Humble Servant in Canada is wondering what our best objections are to Christianity. Johnny starts by talking about magical thinking and how it is interspersed within it’s epistemology and how it interacts with the secular world. AP agrees with this and provides his own; simply no convincing reason he would believe, Christianity has disputed historicity with no ability to truthfully verify it’s claims, and he simply does not believe in the spiritual things and supernatural beings. The caller responds to this and goes back AGAIN to how the 7 day week is a miracle and inspired by God. Oh this guy again! He is very persistent!
That’s our show for this week, please continue to be safe in your area, wear your mask, and please please PLEASE get vaccinated if you can. The world is better with you in it. See you next week!

Maybe some of the people watching when they hear a little bit more about you, because I know you're all over the internet. You have a very big presence, but not everyone might know who you are. What is your focus? Yeah. So I don't focus very much on the atheist part, which is why people |

| 1:55.7 | on critically analyzing Islam, which is my former religion. I focus on that. I am a former Muslim. I grew up in a very religious, strictly Islamic household, was around very religious Islamic circles, was part of them, practiced Islam for a very long time, read a lot, still read a lot, and I focus on criticizing Islam, satirizing Islam, engaging in debates surrounding Islam. |
| 2:21.9 | So that is very much what I do. |
| 2:23.8 | Very good. |
| 2:24.4 | So I hope we'll get some callers in here today who can have some questions about Islam and, you know, practice. |
