I know that I ask that constantly, but for good reason. What is wrong with humans these days? I genuinely don’t understand!
So I just got mad at someone on Reddit, and it wasn’t that I was mad at them personally or anything, but that the whole of Reddit, and let’s be honest, social media everywhere, has taken complete and utter leave of its senses.
I know I talk a lot about morality around here, not that it seems to matter, because there are a lot of people out there, both from the religious and political sides, who really want morality to be something that it’s not.
I just saw a Dan McClellan video which I think illustrates this and he even addresses it to some degree. I’m going to somewhat disagree though. The video and the discussion are below the fold. Continue reading Morality Doesn’t Work Like That→
I’ve noticed something lately and it’s becoming more common as time goes on, but as I watch the atheist call-in show channels, I am finding it harder and harder to sit there and let the religious stupidity wash over me.
I think I’m only able to finish about 40-50% of the calls before I click out. My bullshit alarm is going off all over the place and trying to wade through the religious desperately trying to rationalize their way back to their blind faith after getting demolished by the hosts, I just can’t take it anymore! Continue reading Is This Happening for Anyone Else?→
I’veĀ been having a lot of conversations with the religious of late and I am now more convinced than ever that it’s completely pointless.
Why? Because they are not remotely interested in reality. They are only after comfort and I am after nothing but fact. Every single theist that I talk to tries to jump past the only part of the conversation that actually matters.
Yes, that is just a play off the title of his video, so don’t get your panties in a bunch, but when it comes to moral claims, Matt Dillahunty really has some problems. I saw, again, that he’s doing everything wrong, but you can watch the video and judge for yourself.
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.
I just stumbled across this, but I think it’s an excellent addition to “you’re doing the same thing you criticize”, which I think we realize happens all the time. This comes from an old Atheist Experience video, and it’s contained only at the beginning, although it’s probably a decent enough video to watch all the way through. So first, you’ll get the video itself, watch the first bit where Matt is talking about morality, and I think you’ll see where the problem is. Otherwise, I’ll explain below the fold. Ready? Let’s get to it!
I’ve noticed something today and it’s really nothing new, but I saw multiple examples of it in a very short span of time. The left really can’t shut the hell up about Trump can they? Even when what they’re talking about has nothing at all to do with politics, they have to invoke Trump constantly because these people have serious derangement syndrome.
Ran into another video today by A.B. Higashi, who is kind of in the Dan McClellan camp of an expert who isn’t necessarily on-board with all of the religious claims, and he put out a video on “how do we know Paul was real?”
I’ve been watching a lot of Dan McClellan videos and generally speaking, I like his content, although not necessarily his conclusions. Because you’d expect for someone who knows the Bible as well as Dan clearly does, he’d know better than to take any of it seriously, but Dan is a Mormon. That makes no sense to me and I’ve been looking for a way to express that.
