Seth Andrews: Family Matters
Seth Andrews of The Thinking Atheist shared, “If my wife was as much a Christian fundamentalist as I am an atheist activist then our romance would have never worked!” It’s not all roses when families are mixed with various characters and opposing roles. Sometimes you might even be told to, “keep...
-
Seth Andrews: Slaves to Dogma
Seth Andrews of The Thinking Atheist asked his father if he “loved the God that would burn his son in Hell forever.” Christianity teaches that humans are unworthy and deserving of Hell. Entrenching ourselves in this dogma isn’t personal or spiritual growth, it’s regression. (John 8:34; Romans…

Seth Andrews: Evidence for Evolution & Still Chooses Faith
If Seth Andrews didn’t claim faith in Jesus then he would become ashes under the feet of believers. That’s what his mother told him. Seth points out that the lack of self-reflection can lead to persons deciding to have faith in ancient outdated dogma despite evidence to the contrary, such as...

Seth Andrews: Religious Trauma Syndrome
Seth Andrews's 18-year marriage hit the rocks, he deconverted from his faith in Jesus, and his mother told him he had done nothing but exchang one religion for another. He felt like a failure ... until he founded The Thinking Atheist. Events like these can contribute to Religious Trauma Syndrome…

Holy Koolaid: Chemicals, Coffee, and Christ
While coffee shop Bible studies about Christ are cool they have yet to produce any Nobel prizes. Meanwhile, science-based discoveries about the chemical signatures of life have resulted in several competing hypotheses about how it originated on Earth. ***** FullyDeconverted.Com Facebook Page:...

Christianity's Great Con
Christianity's greatest con is "sin", that you're a "sinner", and that it provides you a savior. It says so right there in the Bible. And all you have to do is believe it for it to be real. ***** FullyDeconverted.Com Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/fulldecon/ Facebook Discussion Group:...

Hamartiology: The Study of "Sin"
Hamartiology, the study of "sin", can be summed up in this statement: We don't know what it is, where it came from, or how it got here. ***** FullyDeconverted.Com Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/fulldecon/ Facebook Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fullydeconverted/…

Jeff Tadlock: Hush-Hush About God
What's up with all the Hush-Hush about "God" in the Christian community? From censorship in universities to shunning those who ask too many questions there seems to be an unspoken rule about avoiding fundamental flaws in theology that simply have no answers. ***** FullyDeconverted.Com Facebook...
-
Experiencing "God"
How can we experience “god” and have we already? The West claims that “god” does observable miracles in our daily lives but has developed a theology that also places “god” outside of the human experience. The East claims that we experience “god” daily but to look for physical evidence is to look…

Stairway To Reason: The Great Awakening
A popular and offensive myth among religious groups is that outsiders (“sinners” / “unsaved” / non-believers) are the major contributors to the negative effects that this world suffers … but in reality, this is often just the opposite. Religious fundamentalists have been known to have dominionist...
-
God’s Internal Cosmos
Does “god” reside in our internal cosmos? Or does that sound like “woo”? The internal cosmos in which “god” resides is made up of 4 parts: 1) Our waking consciousness; 2) Our dream state; 3) The void of dreamless sleep; and 4) The white light. If this is true then of course there can be no…

Holy Koolaid: Political Armageddon
On September 11th, 2001 we saw what religion could drive people to do. So, if you don’t die from drinking the holy Kool-Aid, others might. Thomas Westbrook started “Holy Koolaid” because the claims of Christianity didn’t add up and he’s been advocating for secularist values to counter the stigma...
-
Richard Carrier: The Anti-Christ in all of Us
Are you an Anti-Christ? If you’re pro-war, anti-welfare, and pro-public prayer then you are an Anti-Christ. Don’t worry though, the Biblical tales of Hell, curses, and sin are just superstition. Christians defend both their evolved culture and doctrine, but many have become a political force...
-
Richard Carrier: Lies from the Pulpit
Biblical scholars and those who preach from the pulpit often withhold something from those who sit in the pews: Education. The “inerrant word of God” is filled with obvious fiction, yet fundamentalist would have the faithful believe that only the fantastical tales of their ancient religious texts...
-
Richard Carrier: Hercules, Homer, & Jesus H. Christ
No one experiences existential angst over the historicity of Hercules or Homer, so why Jesus? In the debated origins of Christianity, there are political, social, and financial powers which may influence how scholars weigh in on the historicity of Jesus. But the public may only be informed on…

Richard Carrier: Failed Prophecy
EP3 The infallible word of Christianity's "god" is ... fallible. I'm not certain why followers of a "god" who can't execute on his own revelation to humanity continue to take "his" competence seriously. ***** FullyDeconverted.Com Find the entire interview here: https://youtu.be/S7pFmMd1R3A Join…
more -
Richard Carrier: "Jesus: Layers of Legend"
EP2 Did the early church fathers vie for control over what would become the orthodox Christian message? Is the insider knowledge of early Christian writings lost in the annals of inaccessible history where the original hidden messages of a coming cosmic overthrow would reverse the social order?…
more -
Richard Carrier: Let's Get Mythical
EP1 Was Jesus originally seen as an archangel? Did Christianity get its start by reversing the Isaac story wherein a "god" is sacrificed instead of an animal? Was this savior story just made up to cut out the middlemen of the temple cult? ***** FullyDeconverted.Com Find the entire interview here:...

Aron Ra: How to Make a God
EP10 - Final Episode Historical locations of the Abrahamic “god” until we went there: Mountain, sky, outer space. Present location: Upgraded to a dimension in which we can’t yet detect him. All human-made “gods” are magical anthropomorphic immortals. At least, that’s what we imagined when we made...

Aron Ra: The Future of Faith
The future of who rules the human race is coming down to Islam and atheists. But can we trust groups who protect their prejudice and assert that belief is the bottom line? Are altruistic acts forfeited by those who are fooled by bias? In religions where the divine deity is more of a despot than…

Aron Ra on LGBT, Personal Attacks, and the Future of Religion

Desperate For "Jesus" - Explained
There's a secret formula to creating faithful slaves to sanctimonious saviors: believe that you have an invisible sickness + a loving character named Jesus has the cure × he'll give it to you if you worship him = the purpose driven life! Throw in the odds of Pascal's wager and you've got yourself…

The Hill Atheists Die On
I'm not an atheist. Atheists aren't really a thing. And as soon as we're tempted to describe what kind of thing they are we have to do it by describing what they aren't. I believe there's a word that is much more powerful than "atheist"... "Deconverted" ... from Faith, from bad ideas, from a...
-
Aron Ra: God: The Dummy
EP8 In a religion that reverses everything, the ultimate irony is that the Christian Creator's voice is actually the faithful ventriloquist fooling himself! Maybe that's why we can never see him, he's inside our heads, or if you're Catholic - in the cookie jar. And yet, this curable mental…

The Moral Apostates
The Moral Apostates The silly superstitions relegated only to the realms of religion are seen for what they are by those who deconvert – pious platitudes. The fiction that only Christians can correctly identify their deity as the source of morality is deliberately delusional and awkwardly obtuse...
-
Aron Ra: Faith in Fantasy
EP7 How many faithful Christian converts "fake it 'til they make it"? More than you might think! When it comes to faith and fantasy, even ministers are known to doubt or deny the authenticity of Biblical facts and preach them as fiction. Whether from the pulpit or in the pews, the hallowed halls...
-
False Professions of Faith
Do some Christians "fake" belief in fantastical Biblical stories so that they won't lose the relationships with their friends, family, and loved ones? In case you think this never happens it's actually quite common and is a precursor to many persons leaving the faith ... and for others…

Correlation Doesn't Mean Causation
Even if a miracle that we wanted to happen occurs does that correlation signify that the god we have faith in caused it? Correlation doesn't equal causation. "What we choose to believe is based on what we want to put our faith in." For more: https://www.facebook.com/fulldecon/ Join the discussion...

Who Performs Miracles, God or Men?
If God has sovereignty over the performing of miracles then what's the role of human miracle healers? As Chris makes the case for human availability does it logically fit when compared to a sovereign being? For more: https://www.facebook.com/fulldecon/ Join the discussion on facts and faith:...

Built-In Biblical Bias (Full)
EP5 Were you raised to believe lies? Will you believe whether it's true or not? Does the built-in Biblical bias paralyze the mind of a believer into a servant against sound reason? If that which isn't evidently true becomes the standard of ultimate reality than how does one place boundaries on…

Built-In Biblical Bias
Do Christians have a built-in bias which mandates beliefs on that which isn't evidently true simply because the Bible said so? Are Christians "allowed" to doubt the word of God even when it's verifiable as false? Catch the next episode airing tonight! ***** To see more of this exclusive interview...

Aron Ra: Cosmic Fairytales

Biblical Criminal Behavior Excused?
Does the Bible excuse every form of criminality because our invisible friend has forgiven us? How long will we allow ancient literature to inform us about the world and our place in it instead of the other way around? ***** To see more of this exclusive interview with Arael & Aron Ra:...

Homo's Go To Hell?
Do homosexuals go to Hell? Does the Bible condemn homosexuality? Is marriage between 1 man and 1 woman? Let's take a look at the more dynamic marriage configurations in the Old Testament! In short, the Bible isn't true because it says so. And part of the problem with Christianity and the bigotry…
