"Atheist Delusions"

Podcast from June 11, 2024

A "delusion" is a type of self-deception, not based in reality. When someone holds this type of belief, no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise. There is no reasoning with them. In this final episode of "Hey, Ask Me Stuff," Ken talks about some false beliefs many atheists insist on holding about what Christianity teaches, and no matter how many Christians tell them they're wrong, they keep on repeating the same false representations.
Short:
"Every journey up a mountain starts with a single step"

Short:
"Who decides what 'good' is?"

Short:
"Did the idea that Jesus is God develop gradually over time?"
Short:
"Were the New Testament authors too 'biased' to be believed?"

"Atheism can't give you hope"

Podcast clip from April 15, 2024

It's a hard truth, but a truth nonetheless, that someone who believes in atheism has no comfort to give to people who are facing pain, suffering, or death.​

Short:
"Hey atheists ... be like this guy"
Short:
"Atheists talking out of both sides of their mouth"
Short:
"Is modern atheism really based on reason?"

Short:
"Get there faster!"
Short:
"Do Christians argue 'We don't know, therefore God did it'?"
Short:
"So what?"
Short:
"Atheists can't explain morality"

Video:
"Should you trust an atheist who tells you what's in the Bible?"

"Does Jesus ask for blind faith?"

Podcast clip from January 18, 2024

Skeptics will often claim Christians have "blind faith," meaning we are commanded to have faith even though all available evidence says we shouldn't. Is this really what the Bible means by "faith"?
Short:
"Are you only Christian because you were born in the USA?"

Video:
"Is there really 'no evidence' for God?"

Podcast clip from January 15, 2024

Many atheists like to claim there is "no evidence" for God. But just on it's face, this claim is clearly unreasonable, as Ken demonstrates in this short clip from an episode of the podcast "Hey, Ask Me Stuff."
Video:
"The two types of atheist"

Podcast from January 9, 2024

Ken opens up the comments section of one of our recent YouTube shorts and illustrates how there are two types of atheist, one which is worthwhile having a conversation with, and one where you're better off just wiping the dust off your feet and moving on.

Short:
"Are Christians really atheists?"
Short:
"Is it unloving for God to punish?"

Short:
"No writings during Jesus' life?"
Short:
"Was Shrek a documentary?"
Short:
"Obviously too biased?"
Short:
"Don't be a 'foolish' atheist"

Short:

Short:

Video:
"Do Christians believe in 'blind' faith?"

"Do extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence?"

Podcast clip from September 11, 2023

Short:
"Do Christians force their religion on people?"
Short:
"Is religion just a fear of death?"

Video:
"Who made God?"

Podcast from December 14, 2022

If God made the universe, then who made God? That is a criticism that many skeptics have leveled against Christianity, but is it a fair one?
Video:
"Are Christians hypocrites?"

Podcast from July 13, 2022

Ken answers two questions people have raised as the most common objections people raise against Christianity? 1) Are Christians a bunch of hypocrites? 2) Is believing in the Christian God the same as believing in leprechauns, Bigfoot or Zeus?
