He promised me a ‘brawl’

My debate with a man who seems to be a cross between an animist and a deist.

About a week ago Aaron Fauth issued a challenge on Facebook

Aaron’s challenge

I was happy to accept the challenge, if only because I was intrigued by his complete misunderstanding of atheism and of atheists in general.

I invited him to join me in a discussion with the two basic conditions I always include:

  1. We both have the option to record it.
  2. We can both publish the video UNEDITED wherever we choose.

This video is the result of our recent online conversation. What’s your opinion? Did Aaron live up to his challenge?

A song for MAGA

They voted to hurt others
Pouring hate upon their brothers
In Christ
That wasn’t nice

Bronze age morality

The Christian moral compass only points back to the Bronze age!

You say that you have morals, But you don’t,

You claim I have no conscience, And you’re certain that I won’t,

Know right from wrong…

In God’s name

All decent people loathe the things you do in your God’s name!

I neither hate nor fear your God, but here’s the real shame: All decent people loathe the things you do in your God’s name!

God of the gaps

He no longer makes lightning, volcanos or trees,
No divine visitations bring us to our knees!

He’s the God of the gaps,

And that’s all you can say.

As His hiding places shrink,

He will soon go away!

The God club’s rules

Your religion has rules,
OK follow those too,
But know that they only apply to you.

Go ahead, do your thing,

It’s no skin off my nose,

Until you start claiming,

Your Holy book knows,

How others should live,

And you start to impose,

Your rules and your hatred,

Then we become foes.

What Christian morality?

Your moral compass points right back to the bronze age!

There is no such thing as Christian morality in any meaningful sense. Rather there’s a list of ancient rules, many of which make no sense at all in the modern world.

Real abuse from the God of Abraham

God is not a good role model

There is no more abusive character than the Abrahamic God than in the whole of fiction.

Religion is not mental disorder!

Asserting that religion is mental illness is unethical, unreasonable and extremely arrogant!

I recently found myself talking to another atheist online.

This person began by asserting that religious belief is a mental illness. In fairness to him he did climb down from that very generalised position after a while but I know that many others are just as dismissive of their fellow men and women. Many theists think the same of all atheists and that’s just as silly.

In this video though my focus is on the general irrationality of all humans and how that is factored into the diagnostic process. My view is that all such assertions are unethical, unreasonable and extremely arrogant.

I’m on ‘The Unshaw podcast’!

My discussion about faith, atheism, mental health, evolution and nursing with Robert Shaw

The Unshaw podcast discusses faith, atheism, religiosity and a whole lot more besides. In this episode Robert Shaw (no, not THAT Robert Shaw) and I discuss mental health, faith and deconversion, politics and even evolutionary psychology.
