Summary

Have an Atheist Experience with Secular Rarity and Armin Navabi as they work through callers determined to prove god’s existence.

Moses in FL says our lives are the manifestation of god’s truth. Why should emotions override the data? How is it that living our lives shows the truth of god? How do the narratives contained within religion affect a person’s self respect? What is the point of using logic if it is not to achieve better things and progress? When those who follow Jesus are supposed to be good people, why do Christians still do terrible things? What kind of love uses threats of eternal fire and torture?

Caleb in OH tries to prove that god exists by stating the universe has a beginning because it is expanding. We don’t know if the universe had a beginning or not. What was the second law of thermodynamics like before the big bang happened? How do you know that other people besides the disciples didn't write the Gospels? Even in modern times with video recordings, people come up with all kinds of narratives of how they perceive current events. What do you think it was like 2,000 years ago?

Landy in FL wants us to know that we are all beings of light and science is catching up to what the Bible tells us. Why do letters in a text adding up to a certain number matter with anything? Why should we believe this is any kind of code? Every religion uses number games within their scriptures. Why should we believe one over another? What Biblical information is science just catching up to?

James in CA asks what the hosts think about Paul’s argument for Christ being the Messiah. Paul, Mohamed, and Joseph Smith all said the same thing and we reject all of them. How can we believe Paul’s claims if he is not even an eye witness? Why is Paul’s revelation moment any more true than those that others have had?

Thank you for joining us this week. Question of the week is “What is Jesus's Secret hobby?

Once again, I've found an answer to the age-old question,

0:04.6

why do you speak out against religious thinking so much,

0:07.3

S.R?

0:08.7

Well, because just weeks ago, Tumage Salihi

Using his music to highlight the atrocities of the Islamic regime and rejecting an ideology full of hate.

0:25.0

Tomage has been known to advocate for such radical things

0:28.0

as the right to free expression,

0:32.0

the right to free thought, and the right to actually have a say in the government that

0:36.7

makes laws that affect you and for this immovable focus on human rights

0:41.5

to Maj was told he was spreading corruption,

0:44.0

and the only acceptable punishment is his death.

0:48.0

This backwards and intolerable decision was made

0:52.0

because of a death-loving cult, an ideology that hates

0:56.6

joy and freedom and a belief that lies and brutality are better than truth in reconciliation.
