The Atheist Experience phone in, guy tries to justify why rape is justified in the bible
I am conflicted about this podcast.
I am an Atheist (I actually give religion no thought at all) the premise is generally two (very annoying and super *woke*) hosts ask theists to ring in and prove that god (or A god) exists.
They then proceed to absolutely destroy the callers “proof”.
This episode has a caller called Steve (approx 4 minutes snd 43 second s in) who calls in to discuss Mosaic Law which revolves around the punishment for women if they do not bleed on their wedding night, it progresses on to discussing the various examples in the bible that justify rape.
I realise this is not a funny link…but there is humour.
Steve proceeds to get taken to the FUCKING CLEANERS by the hosts.
The conflict I have with listening to this podcast is that the hosts are WOKE FUCKING CUNTS (obsessed with pronouns etc, fucking melts) , the callers are FUCKING MENTAL, and the audience ME, is a complete dickhead. Cunts all around.
Anyway despite my essay here please give Steve the caller a chance. It’s an interesting and fun listen.
TL:DR insane caller rings two atheists and argue about what the bible says about rape. Steve gets his arse handed to him.

I think "Woke" is probably a great compliment
Compared to the type of people who complain about woke people

I can put up with 'woke' better than spiteful, fragile, bigots.

The only one of the internet atheists I ever gave a watch was hitchens (Chris, not his fat brother)
But that was mainly because he was an erudite fuck, and worth a listen on most subjects for the dying art of good oratory.
But I reckon a lot of atheists seem to derive some self worth from watching vids where they pick apart Christian theology, judging by their ubiquity and titles with X DESTROYS Y, in a similar way the maga crowd swamp their rompers on clips when the orange one insults or trolls someone. Atheism isn’t Mensa, you can be just as stupid and self deluded as anybody else despite feeling you’ve joined the brainy club

You didn't make this sound like an attractive prospect in the slightest.

To be fair, spanishfly was a turbononce long before "woke" attained this current meaning.

You listen to podcasts on a subject
you give no thought to at all? Bit irrational.

This show is based in Texas
where atheists are a tiny minority. In other parts of the world where atheistm is nearly the default, such a confrontation may come across as tedious, unnecessary and very glasscock

I am also conflicted
Everyone's being rather mean about your post but reading the transcript they do seem a bit smug. However if i lived somewhere where everyone was super religious I'd probably need an outlet like this taking apart the practice of believing in sky fairies and using their favourite book of conflicting advice and stories to tell everyone else how to live.

Personal opinion, as an atheist:
I stop paying attention to anyone as soon as they use the phrase "sky fairy/ies". It just seems so smugly superior and dismissive, which in my personal experience is in sharp contrast to how most people of faith (again, in my experience, which is obviously not representative) talk about those who don't share their beliefs.
Opinions on the internet though, innit.

I hear what you're saying and sky fairy i agree is not a constructive term
but my scenario was for dealing with those people dictating what everyone else should do because of their religious beliefs rather than for people just going about their day quietly instead of phoning up saying why the harry potter series, sorry bible, says rape is ok.
Tbf i am occasionally smug and often dismissive, but you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to address this.

Being completely correct in every respect can come across as smugness.
Yahweh is literally a sky god (of weather and war), the angels (his kin) are essentially religiously appropriated fairies, or, at best, a convergently evolved mythical concept. Winged supernatural goodies (along with their neutral and baddy counterparts).
What is a humble and inclusive way of arguing that religion belongs in the same field as folk myths and fairy tales?

Well, it's the need to argue that can come across as smug, isn't it?
Most people have story and ritual in their lives that doesn't stand up to much scrutiny.
You see people going full Dawkins on mildly religious people who aren't cunts, just because they want the same old argument. No attempt to understand what they actually get from it, just straight in with "you're wrong...", which isn't going to change anyone's mind.

It's common for the convert to be a bit too evangelical at first.
People can enjoy arguments as a kind of sport. Some people react very badly to good arguments. You rarely see someone who is confident in the validity of their arguments calling their opponent smug.
There are convincing arguments stating that mild/moderate religious people provide the environment for religious extremists to be tolerated and to thrive. The existence of mild/moderate believers in a death cult does not justify or nullify the actions of that death cult. An adherent who does not believe in every aspect of the death cult's teachings has no moral immunity from criticism, in my most humble and entirely correct opinion.

These aren't mildly religous types tho
They are the types that go online to prove the atheists wrong. They've lost from the moment they try to argue with any reason at all as all they have is faith. I think a mildly religious type wouldn't enter this arena at all.
I think smugness is unavoidable when you meet people of particularly insane beliefs. Try not being smug arguing with a flerfer.
