TheThinkingAtheist

I highly recommend this podcast! Great information, logic, and critical thinking. Seth, thanks for being there for me when I needed you.

Sometimes Seth is concerned about making babbling comments. I find treasures in his babbling. Atheist Bible quiz had me laughing sooo hard. Especially the story out the TALL LARGE PEOPLE. DONT WANT TO GIVE AWAY THE term

I am a Christian who would like to learn about the actual science supporting each side (atheism and faith) and find the truth. I will probably get ridiculed for “ignoring the obvious” and being a “superstitious bigot preaching a hefty claim with no evidence” but I would like to make some comments. This podcast is justified in trying to rip false statements and nonscientific thinking off the face of the earth. I mean, even as a Christian, I see renowned apologists making either irrelevant or flat-out stupid statements. For example, I hear Christians bring up morality and moral rules needing a law-giver. What logical evidence is there for that? We can create our own rules, we do it all the time, they are called laws. “Oh but what are those laws founded on - ethics given by God!” they say. Monkeys have ethics! Dolphins and seals will try to save drowning people. “But that is God’s works” they say, but if you are being honest it can be explained as evolution. Then, we just might have constructed the idea of God giving us those ethics. So really, it is all what came first, the chicken or the egg; it is irrelevant. Anyways, enough with my rambling. My issue with this podcast is that it while Seth preaches seeking truth and thinking deeply, all he does is sit there attacking Christians and ridicule their statements. But while he talks about debunking, he and his guests don’t actually do it, or even explain how issues were debunked. Also, I have a request for Seth if he happens to see this. I would like to hear some stuff about Hugh Ross, a Christian astrophysicist. He is often criticized by Christians for not holding true to the Bible and being a God-of-the-gaps guy, but what he says lines up with science from what I see. However, I have never seen atheist counterpoints and I would like to hear some. Finally, speaking to the Christians who became atheists and now saying they feel free and emotionally great, maybe you were missing the point of Christ. Christ frees us from the chains of the crazy, hateful, evil world. I was in some pretty bad depression and just felt trapped in never being able to figure out my relationships with my family, I had suicidal thoughts, and it sucked. But as I drew towards faith, things gradually got better. I felt like I could endure the hardships and trauma I have been through, and that I was okay, God had me. Some people would call it physiological, maybe so, but maybe not. I would like to close by saying that I am seeking the truth, not to rock the boat (any more than necessary anyways). I hope we all come to the factual conclusions.

Loved the Bible trivia!!!
