    The Atheist Experience

    The Atheist Experience is a weekly show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist and atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.

    The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

    We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

    The Atheist Experience 26.25 06-19-2022 with Apostate Prophet and Secular Rarity Jun 19, 2022
    Show notes

    In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, Secularity Rarity is joined by Apostate Prophet!
    First up is David from Canada who is calling to argue for a necessary uncaused first cause for the universe, ie a creator god.
    Next up is Kevin from UT who is calling to ask for advice on how to help comfort religious family members who are grieving the death of a family member. The caller is out as an atheist, so they are unsure of how to approach them without potentially triggering a confrontation.
    Ben from AK makes an argument for something, in theory about a necessary first cause being. If anyone watching can piece this puzzle together, please let us know on the Facebook group.
    Next is Kevin from GA who is against the support for trans individuals because they don’t understand how someone knowing their trans is any different than someone claiming to have spoken with God in the bedroom.
    Up next is Ahmad from WA is calling to talk about the anchor point for objective theistic morality, and the lack of one when it comes to Atheism.
    Next up is Timothy from CA who wants to talk about what the Hadith says about abortion, specifically that Allah gives a fetus a soul after four months. AP breaks down this statement and points out the inconsistencies between Islamic culture and the schools of thought therewithin, and what is stated about abortion.
    Next is William from FL who is calling to ask our hosts how we know 100% that other humans exist. Apparently, our hosts know humans exist with 100% certainty because we have some sort of soul knowledge and that is somehow proof for God?
    Daniel from MD is calling to ask if religious indoctrination, e.g. inducing fear of hell, child abuse and if so where should that line be drawn between the two?

    The Atheist Experience 26.24 06-12-2022 with Secular Rarity and Dave Warnock Jun 12, 2022
    Show notes

    In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, Secular Rarity is joined by Dave Warnock.
    First up is Sebastian from IL who is calling to voice their disagreement with Matt’s bodily autonomy abortion argument.
    Next up is George from MD who is looking for advice for talking to their girlfriend who is a Young-Earth Creationist & biblical literalist. The caller wants to know how to go about approaching them about this subject to potentially start them changing their mind.
    Next is Karol from Europe who apparently has a certain set of conditions that apparently, somehow, help indicate that heaven and hell “might” be real. Loving these odds so far.
    Up next is Nikki from OR who is once again calling to tell everyone that they believe in God now after years of being Atheist, but still refuses to answer the host’s question regarding why they believe.
    Vincent from UT is calling to discuss the relationship between humans and our flavor of consciousness, to use Secular Rarity’s term, compared to other animals, and whether that flavor is a byproduct of our surroundings or god.
    Next, Anto from Italy has video evidence of flying people. Honestly wasn’t expecting that–– one moment...
    Up next is Timothy from CA who wants to talk about the widespread misconception that science leads to the truth when all it is is a tested methodology that assists with limiting our biases while investigating reality.

    The Atheist Experience 26.23 06-05-2022 with Shannon Q and Forrest Valiai Jun 05, 2022
    Show notes

    Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of The Atheist Experience. This week, Shannon Q is joined by the one and only Forrest Valkai!
    First up is Anthony from VA who is calling to argue that the body of God is the universe. The argument is founded on the idea that complex arrangements of atoms can lead to consciousness, and solar systems look similar to atoms and they might be the atoms of God?
    Next up is Noah from CA, a deist who claims that we are born and are currently living in hell. They abhorrently suggest that all of the sufferings that occurs in the world is just the waiting room to get to the perfect place, and is something that we can all laugh about later once we get to the other place after spending years being hazed by this bully of God. Piss off!
    Next up is Jeffrey from PA who believes that God created two genders. The idea of two genders is a very antiquated western viewpoint that is not reflected by other cultures. Thank you for being a great caller Jeffrey.
    John from Canada is the less pleasant version of the last caller. Good use of assertions buddy.
    Next is Gohan from TX who has questions regarding the pro-choice argument that relates to abortion (the fetus’s use of the mother’s uterus), and organ donation.
    Our final call is Tony from MA who presents the idea religion encourages narcissism and platforms for extreme narcissists.

    The Atheist Experience 26.22 05-29-2022 with Matt Dillahunty and Paulogia May 29, 2022
    Show notes

    In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, Matt Dillahunty is joined by @Paulogia!
    First up is Issac from Israel who presents an argument for the truth of Judaism and its version of God by using the continued existence of the Jewish people.
    Next up is Clarence from OH who is confused about the laws of identity, non-contradiction, and excluded middle.
    Kevin from NY has a claim that will help our hosts find God. What’s the claim? The book of Enoch apparently describes supermassive black holes, but only if you interpret the text correctly. Whatever you say dude...
    Next up is Jonathan from CO who questions why Atheists would choose to help others and make the world a better place if there is no God to motivate them. Please keep believing in a God.
    Up next is Shiela from KY who had a recent confrontation with a family member who used their husband’s declining health as leverage to bring the caller back into religion.
    Next is Mercy from China is wondering what Matt’s position on assisted suicide and death with dignity, is and what the qualifications would be for granting permission to do so.
    Our final call is John from TX who wants to share some of God’s laws of reality. A lot of these sound like they were pulled out of a very specific orifice.

    The Atheist Experience 26.21 05-22-2022 with Apostate Prophet and Shannon Q May 23, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome to another episode of The Atheist Experience. Today we have Apostate Prophet in the host chair alongside Shannon Q, this is going to be a good one!
    First caller Gregory in AZ asks how to talk with muslims about hijabs and other face coverings as he feels it’s outdated. We mainly have a problem with islam societies mandating wearing hijabs. Try arguing against the idea that it empowers women.
    Eric in NH claims god exists and is the foundation for all reality and is an omnigod, and other word salad. How can one summarize this call when Eric can’t seem to agree on his definitions. Yeah no, lucid dreaming is not a pathway to understand physics or to prove god.
    Ahmet in OH continues on the hijab call claiming it’s a human rights issue. We agree people can wear what they want but we disagree with making it mandatory. Some muslim women feel it’s subjugating and not actually a choice.
    Ben in AK believes god is the universe and we have to forget everything we know about the universe. God, a young solar system, Saturn birthing plants, and LOKI??? Try making sense next time.
    Noah in OK asks AP what the creation story is in the Quran. It's not that different from other Abrahamic religions, almost as if it pulls from those previous religious myths…
    Parham in The UK worries liberalism/secularism won’t survive an influx of theocratic voters, like muslim immigrants in Europe, and thinks only Christianity can combat this. Sure religions have held on for millenia, but non-believers are growing in numbers due in large part to secular efforts. Don’t forget, christian law is just as bad as islamic law…
    Derrick in SC asks if the locus of control is pseudoscience and if people control what they believe by avoiding consenting viewpoints. Sure, you can control what information you expose yourself to, to an extent, but not what you are convinced is true.
    That's all the ACA shows for this week, thanks for joining us. Catch the next ACA live show, Secular Sexuality, this Thursday at 7PM central!

    The Atheist Experience 26.20 05-15-2022 with Matt Dillahunty and Dave Warnock May 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome to another episode of The Atheist Experience. This week, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Dave Warnock!
    First up is Aiden from IL who is calling to update our hosts on their life since their previous call about dying with dignity.
    Next up is Cody from TX who wants to talk about the importance of the Secular Student Alliance and its role in normalizing atheism and providing opportunities for atheists to find community.
    John from Canada is calling to express their opinion on the overturning of “Roe vs Wade.” Your opinion has been noted; we thank you for your business. Next customer, please.
    Art from PA is calling to present an argument that Jesus isn’t actually God. Flawed premises equal a flawed conclusion.
    Oh, Mykil from Canada is mad. Really mad.
    Next up is Tory from IL, an ex-Jehovah's Witness who lost everything when they departed the organization.
    Up next is Victor from TX who claims that God cannot be demonstrated by using reason, but can be using intuition.
    Next is David from AZ who is apparently super pro-choice, but still has questions regarding the rights of the fetus.
    Next is Ciel from OR who believes that deep, internal spiritual experiences are what drive people to God.

    The Atheist Experience 26.19 05-08-2022 with Matt Dillahunty and Forrest Valkai May 08, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome to another episode of The Atheist Experience. This week, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Forrest Valkai!
    First up is John from Georgia, who has been asked by others in their community the classic question, “If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” The caller wants to know if our hosts have a better response to that question than they do.
    Next up is John from CO who is wondering how Matt could have possibly lost faith when the truth of the Bible is apparently as obvious as math.
    Dan from FL believes that abortions are murders and that there should be a penalty for those who get one.
    Joseph from the UK believes that mathematics provides evidence for a creator through the use of probability calculation.
    Next up is Tony from CA, who is wondering if biological evolution has any connections to societal evolution and the widespread tribalistic polarization we see today?
    Next is John from the UK who engaged a creationist on a forum, and has questions for our hosts regarding abiogenesis and the origins of life in the universe.
    Our final caller is Ashton from CA who is wondering if our hosts still hold out hope for evidence and quality arguments after all these years of running the show?

    The Atheist Experience 26.18 05-01-2022 with Matt Dillahunty and Shannon Q May 02, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome to another episode of the Atheist Experience! This week, Matt Dillahunty is joined by Shannon Q!
    First is Larry from VA who is curious to know what parts of our brain are utilized when a person speaks or listens to someone speaking in tongues?
    Next up is Rosalind from FL who doesn’t understand how Atheists can be moral since their morality can be anything.
    Next is Anthony from VA who says you can still have Christianity without Christ.
    Up next is Mark from PA who believes that theists are mentally ill and that society should not be tolerant of them. Take it away Shannon.
    Next is Jay from MO who asks if Atheism is a mental illness, among other enlightening questions.
    Next up is Gary from CT who asks what makes a real, “insert group label here,” and what type of evidence is acceptable.
    Next is Luke from FL who believes that xenophobia and racism don’t occur naturally, but are generated through science.
    Our final caller is Victor from TX who seems to have invented their own God with their chosen qualities, but cannot justify any of it.

    The Atheist Experience 26.17 04-24-2022 with Matt Dillahunty and Everyday Atheist Apr 25, 2022
    Show notes

    In today’s episode of The Atheist Experience, Matt is joined by Everyday_Atheist to see how capable callers are answering questions this week.
    First caller is Dane in KS who is suggesting that a bracelet that dates back to the 14th century BCE is proof that the Bible is true. How does this bracelet confirm the Biblical stories in a way that proves god? In 2,000 years, when NY City is dug up, will it confirm that Spider Man is real?
    Next caller is Jamaal from CA who believes that our consciousness is our soul since we don’t have a scientific explanation for consciousness. He believes that consciousness can affect the brain state and that the supernatural explains experiences. If we don’t have an explanation, you don’t get to make something up. Labels that religions tie to a soul are emergent properties of the brain. You can’t solve a mystery by appealing to a bigger mystery. Can you prove that consciousness is magic and that it exists? How do you know that consciousness is a soul?
    James in SC brings up how other animals than humans are living in original sin, and how there are 450 species that engage in same sex acts. Matt puts on his Christian hat to explain that human beings are the only ones who have a duty to god and are accountable to the law. How is it there is the serpent that was cursed to crawl on his belly?
    Jelmer in the Netherlands wants to remove the word existence by saying if there is a god that is foundational reality, then either it is true that foundational reality has defined properties or it is not true. If your conclusion at the end is still either god exists or god does not exist, then why go through all the trouble? What is the point of presenting an argument that we ultimately agree on?
    Jack in FL would like to talk about the transcendental argument for god. He states that either our worldviews are going to bottom out or we are going to fall into a coherent paradigm or it will be an infinite set of justifications for our beliefs. He thinks that atheists don’t have the basis for logical reasoning. Justin points out that he is begging the question. Matt asks: How do you show that logic is in fact ungrounded? How did you determine that these things must have a grounding?
    Jon in Canada claims that BLM is harming black people because it teaches to resist arrest and people end up getting killed. What difference does it make if BLM has any connection to Black Nonbelievers? We don’t believe you have a point.
    Vanamali in IL wants to know what the difference is between death cults and religion. It is not about the number of people. Not everything that is under the umbrella of religion is on equal footage to its harm. Death cults hold views that isolate people ultimately resulting in their death.
    Thank you for tuning in! We look forward to seeing you back here again so please follow the guidelines and stay safe.
