What is your favorite combination on the Atheist Experience?

[Jaeger]

*At the bottom of the post you can find a brief intro if you have never seen this show before

My favorite duo has got to be Tracie and Russell. Tracie is really good at coming up with witty comebacks and catching stuff most people don't notice. Russell is also very smart and in general a very cool and nice guy. Matt Dillahunty is cool, but sometimes he's really too assholish, and he keeps explaining stuff using logical formalisms even when the callers are clearly not understanding his vocabulary and complex sentences.

*The Atheist Experience is a live TV show which is available on youtube. The show consists of 2 atheists (usually Matt DIllahunty + guest) discussing and debating with theist viewers who call in. This is an episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6NH8nG1lio

Be careful with that deductive reasoning.



Neighbor 1: "Hi, there, new neighbor, it sure is a mighty nice day to be moving"

New Neighbor: "Yes, it is and people around here seem extremely friendly"

Neighbor 1: "So what is it you do for a living?"

New Neighbor: "I am a professor at the University, I teach deductive reasoning"

Neighbor 1: "Deductive reasoning, what is that?"

New Neighbor: "Let me give you and example. I see you have a dog house out back. By that I deduce that you have a dog."

Neighbor 1: "That is right"

New Neighbor: "The fact that you have a dog, leads me to deduce that you have a family"

Neighbor 1: "Right again"

New Neighbor: "Since you have a family I deduce that you have a wife"

Neighbor 1: "Correct"

New Neighbor: "And since you have a wife, I can deduce that you are heterosexual."

Neighbor 1: "Yup"

New Neighbor: "That is deductive reasoning"

Neighbor 1: "Cool"

Later that same day

Neighbor 1: "Hey, I was talking to that new guy who moved in next door"

Neighbor 2: "Is he a nice guy?"

Neighbor 1: "Yes, and he has an interesting job"

Neighbor 2: "Oh, yeah what does he do?"

Neighbor 1: "He is a professor of deductive reasoning at the University"

Neighbor 2: "Deductive reasoning, what is that"

Neighbor 1: "Let me give you an example. Do you have a doghouse?"

Neighbor 2: "No"

Neighbor 1: "Fag."

Lol

[Laurence Drake]

where do you even find this shit

[Jam]

New Neighbor: "Let me give you and example. I see you have a dog house out back. By that I deduce that you have a dog."

Neighbor 1: "That is right"

That's not true, it could be left over from the previous owner and they didn't bother to get rid of it.

New Neighbor: "The fact that you have a dog, leads me to deduce that you have a family"

Neighbor 1: "Right again"

Single people can have dogs.

New Neighbor: "Since you have a family I deduce that you have a wife"

Neighbor 1: "Correct"

This is not correct because it's 2017.

New Neighbor: "And since you have a wife, I can deduce that you are heterosexual."

Neighbor 1: "Yup"

See above.

Even if I grant you mind-body dualism (which I do not accept, but it's a longer conversation), how does that lead to a god? All you know is that every human defined by something outside physical particles. How does that lead you to "there is a god"? Why can't there just be souls and no god? And even if there is a god, how do you know that out of the hundreds of thousands of gods in human history, yours is the right one?

I made responses to that in the thread.

how do you know that out of the hundreds of thousands of gods in human history, yours is the right one?

There can be only one god that is omnipotent and omnipresent, by definition. The name for it may vary, but it is always the same entity. In Judeo-Christianity the name's Yahweh (which is a bit of a misnomer). In Skaal religions it is known as the All-Maker. And so on.

First, we dont know that there is even one. But even if there is, how do you know how to worship him so that you dont go to hell? Do you worship him like the muslims say? Like the jews say? Like the christians say? Etc

[lejend]

First, we dont know that there is even one.

We can logically deduce that the world had a beginning and was created by perfect God. It is plain illogical that something could be created by nothing. There had to have been a creation and a perfect creator.

But even if there is, how do you know how to worship him so that you dont go to hell? Do you worship him like the muslims say? Like the jews say? Like the christians say? Etc

That's a whole nother topic. Your original question was about the simple existence of God, not which religion is the correct way of worshiping him.

The cosmological argument doesnt hold any water. You can see this in the sean carrol vs william laine craig debate


As for the other part, i know Laurence is christian.

[noissance]

Hmm, so they dont believe in god, but they believe in science and facts. It then ends up leading to the interesting observation that atheists believe in facts, which means they do have faith.
