SHOW NOTES

Good morning Heathens! Hope you all are safe and healthy at home this fine Sunday. Today’s episode of Talk Heathen is brought to you by Social Distancing and Pajamas. Who wants to guess the hosts will be wearing pajama pants! Our hosts today are Eric Murphy and Vi La Bianca, the dynamic duo bringing thoughtfulness and hope to your new quarantine life.

Let’s get to calls. The first caller is a returning caller, Marlon from the Philippines. He claims that there is proof of David the giant slayer thus proving the bible. Sorry Marlon, correlation does not imply causation. If that were the case, Spiderman would exist in New York… Spiderman, Spiderman… Look out, here comes the Spiderman!

Carlos is next, calling from a wind tunnel. Saying intelligence is a great gift from god and the best at combating evil. Ooooh, call back Carlos when you aren’t in a wind tunnel, we are having trouble hearing what you are saying...

The following caller is Ethan from Illinois is concerned about an upcoming discussion where he will be sitting down with a previous caller and their close minded family. Ethan is seeking understanding and if we have any tips on how to approach this.

Carlos is back, in a less windy wind tunnel. Claiming intelligence is a great gift from god. He also claims that intelligence as a gift is the best tool against evil. The background noise doesn’t help, but it is an interesting conversation.

Next up, Sam in the UK would like to talk about how slavery in the bible is justified. Oh boy. Is the bible written for believers or atheists? Vi also brings up a good point, if the bible is written for believers, why should we atheists know it? This call gets a little heated, tune in to see both Eric and Vi get passionate on this call.

Afterwards we have Tyler from Mississippi. He claims the end is nigh because of the coronavirus/COVID-19. He also claims the black plague wasn’t global. Oh boy Tyler. You should REALLY read some history. Also, you are causing fear about the current pandemic, stop it, you aren’t helping anyone.

We need a palate cleanser, Michael from Florida is calling in talking about surviving his old cult. It’s great to hear from you and your journey away from religion. Keep on learning and investigating!

Our last caller of the day, Kevin in New York would like to discuss how god exists within systems upon systems upon systems. Say what now? Ooooooh, it’s the fine tuning argument. I think I need more coffee.
