I’ve been listening to a lot of Planet Peterson and Deconstruction Zone videos on YouTube, mostly because I’m getting so sick and tired of the political bullshit on Atheist Experience and The Line. Yet one thing that I’ve really noticed is how many really, really, really dumb people call those two shows. I mean, dumb to the point that I’m surprised they can wipe their own asses.

And frankly, I’m having trouble even sitting through it anymore.

I have found myself clicking away from the majority of atheist call-in show calls because the theists are too dumb to be dealt with. That doesn’t mean just stubborn, that means absolutely stupid. For example, I was just listening to an older Planet Peterson call and the theist was so ridiculously clueless that I turned it off about 7 minutes in. All the theist could do was keep repeating “but it’s in the Bible!” like he can’t imagine that the Bible might not be true and there’s no point in having that conversation. They can’t defend their views and they can’t stop pushing blind faith and why bother with them in that case?

I’ve been putting a lot of “this theist is an idiot” comments on Atheist Experience and The Line calls because virtually all of them are. It’s just people making bald assertions and professing blind faith as if that means anything and more often than not, the hosts give up because there’s nothing intelligent to respond to. Nobody cares what you believe. Just because you really like the feeling you get doesn’t mean your beliefs are true.

So why bother at all?

Truth be told, I’ve been thinking long and hard about my own channel because that seems to be what’s going on there. Same old tired, empty claims, repeated ad nauseum, because they really want it to be true. I can respond to it, but really, why bother? It’s all been said before. Nothing is ever going to change. The apologists are still scam artists, lying for the Lord because it makes them money and they couldn’t care less if any of it is true. Like the caller on Planet Peterson, they aren’t remotely interested, they have never thought for 2 seconds about any of it and it’s just  got to be true because fee-fees.

I’m just wasting my time responding to it because nothing is ever going to change. The dumb are going to remain dumb forever because they have no interest in growing working brains. I wouldn’t say if I thought I was doing any good but I’m not. So why bother? I don’t know, you tell me.
