What's in YOUR Toolbox? | Skeptic Generation | Episode 7 Season 3

It might seem easy to see the flaws in other people's thinking when it comes to religion, but what happens when we don't apply that logic elsewhere? If you've found yourself deconstructing other belief structures in your life, give us a call!
Whether you believe in a supernatural world, believe in exceptional metaphysics, or just want to tell me that I'm wrong... Give us a call at 412- SKEPGEN (412-753-7436) OR tiny.cc/skepgen to call online!

04:31
Jim feels like a hypocrite when he thinks about life in the universe, since he doesnt have sufficient evidence. They both talk about possible beginnings of life on earth and conspiracies. Ultimately, apportioning our acceptance of a claim should be tied to how much evidence we have.

14:48
Trent has been wrestling with the idea of holding on to religious concepts even though he knows that the supernatural pieces aren’t true. More to the point, he has found that “othering” things like anxiety and genius gives him a leg up in working through things for both him and his kids. Eric does his best to address the topics before losing his train of thought!

52:04
As a satanist, Ashley uses ritual in their day to day life. The problem is, they really want to make sure they’re not inadvertently appropriating other people’s culture. It’s a strange line that we need to walk when we find ways to embrace rituals as a humanist. From fetishizing others, to alt-right pipelines, the path to a “secular spirituality” is full of pitfalls.
1:02:25
Sarah has done the work to deconstruct her religion, but theres a problem that has been in the back of their head. When she was a kid, she distinctly remembers seeing a ghost, but how does that work?!
1:17:22
Chelsea wants to sort out how to really meet people where they’re at when it comes to conversations around religion.
1:28:06
Pete has thoughts about it as well! From epically owning our family members, to making strangers extremely uncomfortable, an enormous amount of cringe can be had if we’re not careful. Cheers for wanting to read the room, listen actively, and not just waiting for your turn to talk!
