Truth Wanted 07.08 02-23-2024 with MD Aware and SecularSpirit

In today’s episode of the Truth Wanted, MD Aware and Secular Spirit wrestle with the meaning of life as a caller obsessed with teaching children about buttplugs insists that jail is worse than hell.

Kyle in Canada says that religion makes it hard to know what is modeled as the truth, and asks the hosts what they think the meaning of life is. Secular Spirit explains how he has come to accept that life has no inherent meaning. MD Aware agrees and asks Kyle to define the terms of meaning and life. He further explains that there can be an overarching purpose for humanity that does not necessarily apply to the individual. What should people be doing that they are not currently doing? What is the best case scenario that we should strive for? The leaps in health care alone show we are greatly more advanced than our ancestors. If you are going to call the show and complain about the hosts being skeptical, you might be calling the wrong show.

McMichael in FL wants to know if teaching children about jail is equal to teaching them about hell. The fear and psychological trauma is deeper when there is an eternity than it is when there is a life sentence as a consequence. Jails in North America are different from jails in other parts of the world. How can you compare an eternity to a lifetime? Of hell and jail, one of these two things is real and one of them is not. Which is better to teach children about? How is the threat of eternal torment for natural sexuality better than a real life consequence for a crime committed? The caller asks what the appropriate age is to teach kids about butt plugs. Perhaps there would not be people showing up at emergency rooms with Christmas ornaments stuck in their rectum if they were taught not to be ashamed.

Jon in Canada has proof of god existing and that proof is that we are here. How did you delete all other explanations? What examples do you have of these other things that you have eliminated? The Big Bang is an explanation for the expansion of the universe, not the origin. Are you reading from a book of quotes or something? Does a puddle exist because of the conditions or were the conditions “designed” for the puddle to exist? The God Delusion is a great place to start if you want some of these questions answered. The scientific approach is to assume the negative until we know otherwise. If you had scientific evidence for god, we would accept it and that is why we took the call.

Tim in WA asks Secular Spirit if Islam is more accepting in the Western world of the LGBTQIA community than they are in other Muslim states. Secular Spirit explains the stigma surrounding this that exists in the Muslim states and that overall there is a difference between areas of the world when it comes to acceptance.

Rainer Wolfcastle in TX mentions a documentary called Science Friction that cuts quotes to make people say what they want them to say and manages to sneak in the word buttplug just for good measure.

Thank you for tuning in folks! Question of the week: What is the flimsiest excuse you have ever heard for doing the wrong thing?
