I know that I’ve been doing this a lot lately, but the Atheist Experience has been giving me a lot to think about and, as should be clear by now, disagree with. Now I’ve gone on record disagreeing with Matt Dillahunty’s pronouncements on secular morality and I’m sure I’ll get into that again, but the simple problem is that morality isn’t simple and far too many people seem interested in spitting out a simplistic, easy-to-digest, easy-to-impose moral solution.
So I saw a video on YouTube this morning from the most recent Atheist Experience episode and it just illustrates the point that I’ve made before. Just because you’re non-religious, that doesn’t make you automatically rational.
Geez, it’s hard to find a good day anymore but today was absolutely painful, especially over on r/BitChute. Now BitChute, as a platform, has a lot of problems. That much is obvious and indisputable. However, it’s sad to watch people getting mad when people point out just how many problems there are because they’re totally blind to it all.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this and I’ve had lots of people, people that I would think are genuinely smart, get it completely wrong.
If you put a real cat in a real box and set an atomic trigger that might or might not kill it, that doesn’t make the cat both alive and dead at the same time. Stop it. You’re just making yourself look dumb. Continue reading People Don’t Understand Schrodinger→
So, here we go again. A theist showed up on r/AskanAtheist and wanted to know why atheists were so incapable of impressing him, as a Protestant Christian, based on Dawkins’ The God Delusion. So we tried to help him out and that’s when absolutely everything went completely wrong. Continue reading This is Why the Religious are Dumb→
Last night, we went out to eat and since we were already in the parking lot, we stopped in to Best Buy to look for printers. The one we have sucks and we need something better.
Best Buy is not the place to go looking for printers or anything else. The place is literally empty. I don’t know why they even bother to open the doors. Something is seriously wrong. Continue reading Well There’s Your Problem!→
A couple of days ago, on someone else’s videos entirely, a belligerent theist approached me and challenged me to a debate. He was cocksure and obnoxious, saying he’d never lost a debate against an atheist so I said sure. Go right ahead. Let’s see what you’ve got.
Recently, Talk Heathen put out a video from a theist who wanted to talk about God and free will. While the call itself was pointless, the thought experiment that Kenneth Leonard came up with was terminally flawed and I see this kind of thing happening all the time.
As long as we’re on a roll, let’s just go for it. So I just got back from Stater Bros. to pick up a couple of things that we forgot over the weekend. As anyone who has read the blog for a while knows, I’m not that impressed by Stater Bros., they were profiteering off of the pandemic and frankly, their employees are generally assholes. However, I’m really starting to wonder why the hell we even have baggers anymore? What exactly do they do? Continue reading What’s the Point of Baggers?→
