It's pretty good, watched 22 min and saved it to my watch later area. A bit longer than I expected.


Kind of covers what I experienced. I've actually tried to go deep on some areas of epistemology with various atheists, agnostics and skeptics with mixed results. One thing I don't think they get is how we "construct reality". Our reality is based on the things we assign worth to, meditate on etc. There is not some monolithic reality as far as humans are concerned.


Besides this I've also been interested in the Bible from the stand point of ancient literary genres besides the traditional beliefs of inspiration etc. It's really interesting how many atheists can be like the reverse negative image of a Biblical fundamentalist on this issue! (They interpret the Bible based on the most modern standards, and ideas possible except the goal is to debunk it rather than affirm it).

This is exactly what I have noticed as well.

To see what Christians think of Pop-Atheists.
This, in no way, is a concern of mine.

But lemme ask a question: what business is it of God what, exactly, I think about Her?

To see what Christians think of Pop-Atheists.
I think there are many things in life that are more important than what Christians (allegedly) think about Pop-atheists. I can understand that some Christians might be concerned about Pop-atheists, but I can't whip up enough excitement to click the button. In fact, I feel it is more important to let you know about what I think about the opportunity, than to grasp the opportunity. At least that may give you a taste of my indifference on the matter.
