RETURN of the Butt Unicorn! | Skeptic Generation | Episode 14 Season 2

Do you believe in psychics, mediums, or prophets of god? How about the historicity of the bible? Today is a fantastic day to call in because friend of the show Thomas Westbrook will be joining us again today. Thomas' channel @Holy Koolaid is dedicated to debunking pseudoscience and researching biblical claims in a fast-paced informative way.

Give us a call and tell us why you think we've got it wrong at 585-526-8774 or tiny.cc/callSG.

TIME STAMPS & CALL NOTES

00:00 - Intro - Who Is Thomas Westbrook of Holy Koolaid?

03:30
A libertarian calls in to argue about whether or not certain rights encourage things like freeloading. Thomas talks about the Veil of Ignorance and the technicalities of living in a society, while Eric waxes philosophical about what a moral society should be like. Do you agree? More importantly…. ROADS?

29:40
Troll alert! “Giovanni” proposes that time does not actually exist! This is Thomas’s cup of tea: he breaks down some scientific facts about the concept of time to debunk this caller’s claims. If only this conversation was legitimate, and not going to end in a train wreck…

49:33
We’ve talked with Relic a few times, and he is finally calling in to tell us what he believes and why. Spirits exist and manifest as various polytheistic gods, in his experience specifically Norse and Greco Roman pantheons. Eric sits back and lets Thomas react.

What kept you going back to church after starting to deconvert? This caller talks about his own fears about nonexistence. Thomas talks about the natural fears of dying, especially as you age. Eric shares his own experience leaving the church and how long it took to truly walk away.
