Why Talk With Theists, What's In An Identifier, And Ghost Story | Truth Wanted 07.03

Jerry in Ireland expresses how it can be pointless to talk with theists and how the Socratic Method did work for him, but only one time. If we can have these conversations, we can show them that we are people just like they are. It works the best when there is an audience and the interlocutor is honest. Everybody has a right to their religion; it is extremism that is problematic. We do have callers that are showing their minds are changing slowly. Showing genuine curiosity and asking questions to sincerely understand helps in the long term. These conversations are a great way to bond people, even if they disagree. Johnny in MD is wanting to abandon the use of identifiers such as atheist. How does the use of identifiers help or hinder your communication? How often does the need to use identifiers when communicating come up? How does the abandonment of labels or identifiers help you? How do people react when the use of these categories are avoided? How does this play out when the labels of “atheist” or “theist” are avoided? Not using these terms may cause conversations to be longer, and definitions for how words are used can be blurred. We are curious how this will work for you; please keep in touch! Dan in Canada thinks he may have seen ghosts and would like to know how to collect credible evidence of this. We don’t have any testing that is supernatural at this point so this presents a tough paradox for science. Designing the experiment and replicating the experiment is the problem? What can we observe with our five senses, and how is this experience explained? Stating that you don’t know something is a great way to start. How do you think the power of suggestion affected what you saw? What would be the steps to design an experiment for this? If it is not reliably reproducible, we end up diving into a sea of excuses. The only way you can find out is to start gathering data and follow the rules of evidence. Please send Kelley the video when you obtain it! Nicholas in America wants us to know that Christ is God. How do we know this when people claim that Allah or ancient gods such as Ahura Mazda are real? How does prayer cause something to happen? If events are synchronized, does that mean that one caused the other? Think of all the probabilities rather than prayer being the first explanation. Remember how impressionable the mind is when you are young and how what you have been told can affect your perception. Thank you for tuning in this week! We want the truth for what the real purpose of Stonehenge was! Remember, always keep logging the truth!
