Truth Wanted 06.48 12-01-2023 with ObjectivelyDan and Blatant Blatheist Dec 02, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Truth Wanted! Yay, Dan is back and we’re happy he is doing better. Our special guest this week is Blantant Blatheist, joining us from Japan!
First up tonight, Phil in TX keeps getting blocked from outlandish videos/channels. He has taken to posting more outlanding comments to avoid getting blocked. There isn’t one simple way to deal with these outlandish claims. Consider your target audience, you are more likely to affect people on the fence.
Rich in NY has problems with a previous call about animals suffering too much. He argues that we shouldn’t judge how animals are better off. Wildlife conservation and veganism is a tough and multifaceted topic. There are sustainability, moral, ethical, and economic arguments to just get started. Fact is dogs, pigs, cows, etc have near equal to human capacity to suffer.
Andrew in FL claims secular families are more likely to lead to divorce. To double down, he says secularism is causing divorce. Ok, there is a trend showing more secular couple’s divorce. Is that a bad thing though? If someone is unhappy in their marriage, shouldn’t they be able to get out of that marriage? Divorce isn’t a solve-all but it’s necessary in some cases.
This week's “We Want The Truth” segment is: Make a prediction for 2024 that no one would see coming.

Truth Wanted 06.44 11-03-2023 with ObjectivelyDan and Phil Ferguson Nov 04, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Truth Wanted! This week we have ObjectivelyDan and Phil Ferguson taking your calls. We get into prayer, why crypto is a scam, and other issues.
First up is Coop the Coop-Cooper in NY is perplexed why Dan would tell them they could continue praying while deconstructing their belief. Sure, you can pray to anything, anyone, or no one, who cares. Phil brings up the argument that why are believers praying to a god to change the plan created for them. If prayer makes you feel good or helps with life’s stress then go for it. Just don’t mistake it with action, prayer doesn’t help others.
Keith in NJ thinks there may be some legitimate crypto currencies. He gives the example of his friend giving free wifi devices that pays you in crypto for time kept online. Interesting concept but Phil would need to know more about the device and company before advising to join. Who knows, they could be stealing peoples data to sell it.
James in VA, an ex jehovah witness, asks for advice for people leaving religion that you donated all your profits.
Thanks for joining us for the special episode. This week's “We Want The Truth” segment is: What is REALLY in the Egyptian pyramids? Put your answers in the comments to possibly be read on air!

Truth Wanted 06.42 10-20-2023 with Kelley Laughlin and Cynthia McDonald Oct 21, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to Truth Wanted! This week we host two of The Non-Prophets team, Kelley Laughlin and Cynthia McDonald. Maybe we’ll finally figure out the meaning of “spiritual but not religious”.
Chris in WI continues the “Humpy the ghost” story. (I thought Chris was saying HumpTy, oops) You are equating the ghost experience to energy but can’t seem to define what you mean. The points you bring up are questionable and seem to infer electricity to energy. Try to keep an open mind, if you conclude it’s a ghost you aren’t going to be open to other explanations.
Rich in NY thinks we spend too much time arguing specifics regarding miracle claims. He thinks we should challenge theists with praying for “real” miracles. People do accept things too easily. Use the socratic method to suss out if their claim holds up. Confirmation bias is frustrating.
AJ in WA claims he has seen UFOs, sasquatch, ghosts, and other cryptids. Aj goes on to delve into the different tribes of bigfoot. Interesting call, and do call back, but these are just recounting stories.
Top G in TX wants to clarify what people mean by spirituality and says starting by looking into the neuroscience of religion would help. We want to know what people are experiencing when they claim they did something spiritual. Top G defines spiritual as “an inner potential in your consciousness”. The examples you gave don’t point to the supernatural, more so to physiological. Consciousness is a property of the brain, how is that spiritual?
Thanks for joining us! This week's “We Want The Truth” segment is: Write a fortune cookie that is oddly specific.
