In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Jamie the Blind Limey and Zenamae dive into the complexities of observed reality and the impact of religion on minority communities!

Sarah in IN wants nature to be conscious to soothe climate anxiety. Hosts warn that "half-truths" remove human responsibility and could lead to cults. If the earth is sentient, why let itself be harmed? Is this just a comforting fiction? Aji 337 asks about believers who never read their holy books. Zena finds it jarring when people pretend to know the text but ignore its contradictions. They discuss the dangerous cycle of pastoral authority. What happens when faith hits reality?

    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and guest GothDamnIt_Jay explore the intersection of alternative subcultures and atheism!

    Truth Wanted 09.16 2026 with Godless Engineer and Robotgoat (@RBTGT )

    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Godless Engineer and Robotgoat launch an educational battle against ancient myths! They tackle the logical hurdles of deism, the supposed precognition of prophets, and the foundational myths of intelligent design. Can critical thinking dismantle a God-shaped void, or are we destined to fall for the same old supernatural traps. Jim claims deism will fill the void left by declining Abrahamic faiths. The hosts challenge the utility of a creator that cannot be defined or proven, emphasizing critical thinking over vague platitudes. Is a vague God better than no God at all. Marcus-New Zealand argues that prophet Ellen White possessed precognition by predicting a magazine meeting. The hosts identify this as planning rather than a supernatural event, given her son's involvement. Why would a deity prioritize magazine edits over peace. AA asserts that the human eye and purpose in nature prove a designer. The hosts dismantle his misconceptions about evolution and explain chromosomal fusion as evidence of common ancestry. Can logical fallacies ever stand up to the fossil record. Thank you for joining us today! We will see you next week and don't forget to add your answer to this week's We Want The Truth question name one thing that would be better if God was a woman.
