What would it take for you to change your mind?

Specifically about something that you're convinced of.

Would you hear an argument that renders your beliefs all the more unlikely?

Or would you ignore the facts if they change or challenge the view that you hold?

We as humans have tried to navigate this sensitive relationship between

truth and belief since at least written history was formed. However, it seems that time is insignificant,

and scientific innovation and educational understanding are not guarantees for accepting facts.

What is it that we're getting wrong? Why do we dedicate our lives, our allegiances,

our energy to things that are not only absent of evidence, but also harmful? And why is it that we

tend to embrace these alliances with open arms instead of critical thinking and practicality?

We hear a talk even and the atheist community of Austin invite you to let us

put your beliefs under the microscope and challenge them with critical thinking, with the aim of uncovering fact-based evidence.

And while we would like to explore your beliefs, you are certainly welcome to explore ours as well. And let's have a

meaningful discussion about it. So get on the phone right now and get your call in because the show

is about to start. All right. All right. Folks, thank you for joining us. I get so pumped when I hear that beat, that music. I'm in the zone now. And today is November 10th, 2024. I am Jimmy Jr. your host today. This is Talk Heathen. And we are a product of the atheist community of Boston, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of atheism, critical thinking, secular humanism, and the separation of religion and government.

We are a live call and show, and we have open lines right now. So get them in, get your calls in, excuse me, at 512991, 9242, or from your computer at tiny.cc forward slash call

TH. As always, we have a very special guest, and today, no different. Actually, somebody who's

maybe more special than the people I'm used to working with, the renowned Seth Andrews. Seth,

how the heck are you? What's up? I'm well. I mean, other than existential dread

and sleepless nights, I'm absolutely peachy. Thank you for asking, Jimmy, and it's a pleasure to be

a part of the conversation today. It's nice to play along. Yeah, thank you. Thanks for joining me.

Super excited to work with you. I'm a big fan of yours. I'm familiar with your work. And I've never worked with you before. So keep your expectations low. Yeah. Okay. If you do that, we're all set for the show. No problem. No problem. No problem. And, you know, I started this conversation off with a lie. You're actually not more important than the people I usually work with.
