Summary

Welcome back to the show! Please welcome today’s hosts of the Atheist Experience, Johnny P. Angel and ObjectivelyDan!

Dave from WI wants to know if our hosts believe that there is any validity of prophecy. The caller seems to think so.

Jon from Canada claims Atheism is a religion because they are woke and believe in things that are based on their own ideas. So is being woke at all relevant? So does that mean that Christian fundamentalist denominations are not actually religions?

Frank from NC asks what our hosts think of the idea that God is actually source-energy that jumpstarted the big bang.

Michael from UT has faith that aliens exist but in a super unexciting way. We have an example of a planet that can sustain life, therefore it is possible that another planet somewhere in the universe might have life of some variety on it.

John from IA had a mystical (hallucination) experience that lead them to agnostic atheism.

Pablo from Spain asks why finding the truth is important. Why hunt for the truth when the search for it might negatively impact humanity in the process or disrupt the status quo?

Jonah from TN wants to know if reforming the church is an attainable goal. It's one of those things that as an institution will always be lagging behind, but I’d rather work to reform it and get half of its followers to fight for progressive issues than not and have all of them work to maintain injustice.

Kennedy from CA asks if became possible for us to scientifically investigate the possibility of life after death, would that sway people away from religion?
