Yay! Shelley!
Not hearing any audio from your UA-cam stream...
Maybe it’s me but the audio isn’t working. 😅
It’s working now. I live nowhere near Houston so I love that y’all live stream this. ❤
David still ok after pandemic thank science
That was probably me lol. Uploaded an observation from Venezuela
Nice!
Nice to hear David again.
I’m here friend! Leaving likes, and comments for the algorithm. Hope you are still doing well. ❤
Dying just now seeing this and knowing I could have e attended. ❤
when you say they "take it off the market", what do you mean? they take it off the market by not renting it and just paying the taxes on it every year and leaving it empty? or sell out all together....
Johnson amendment - campaigning but not weighing in on issues is the downside for churches (tax privileges) It would be so much easier to take him seriously, if he wasn't such a political activist with a clear agneda.
Purity culture is frankly DISGUSTING. I can't describe the amount of mental anguish that it caused me over the years. And I would rather die than see my son being raised in such community.
Great presentation 👏🏽
Hi little girl! Who's your daddy? Wanna have some fun?
Victor is extremely talented.
Great to see a new Aron Ra talk. He doesn't do as many of these as I'd like. This is an interesting looking channel. I'll check out more of your content.
Great to see/hear you on here Jim!
I asked Aron the first question after the Oasis talk. His answer was not that complete so I tried to Google an answer and this is what I found later that day and then I sent him this email. I had looked up the answer to my question and here was my email to which he responded with a "thanks for the tip". Aron, thanks for coming to Houston for the Oasis Sunday talk, it's really nice to get quality speakers in there. BTW, I was the guy who asked you "do whales eat squid and octopus and if they do, how do they catch them". I asked the question because it seems to me that a squid and octopus are faster than a slower, larger moving whale. Well, I came home and googled the question for clarity and found this interesting information. “They often catch the prey in a rapid turn during which the whales turn upside down to position themselves with respect to the prey,” Tyack said. This twisting maneuver appears to somehow allow the whales to create a powerful suction with their mouths which they use to vacuum in squid from up to three feet away. It does not describe the moment and exact conditions that this happens, so I take it that the squid might be moving around the whale in the dark deep ocean not suspecting it will be in danger, then when the whale detects them near enough, they do their twisting maneuver and stuns or kills some of them that are near enough and then eats the resulting damages. Thanks again,
Nice video ❤
She skipped some tips.... #1 went to 4 then 6, probably chose from the book to fit the time constraint.
I think Margeret Mead was quoted as having said, "Christianity is the most sexually repressive religion on the planet".
The theory of everything is time. Time is everything and everything is time. For example, we are our star. We experience time through our star the sun. The universe runs on time not on math. Your calculations are irrelevant. Read more non-fiction.
Excellent presentation but the technical issues are so numerous it is hard to watch.
Agree. Seth was great but this was just annoyingly bad.
Thanks for watching. Sorry for the technical issues in the live stream. We expect to upload an edited version on the "Main Talks" playlist soon with the edits.
so now we have an atheist saying what God does
Well someone has to expose the truth 👍
Can't hear the speaker.
Gotta say one thing that sucks about deconstructing and unpacking religious guilt about sex is u lose that forbidden fruit kinkyness. Only way to recreate it is engaging in actual risky behavior like doing it in public or some other way with a chance of getting caught.
yep, the adrenaline (of lying to yourself that safe/regular sex is actually dangerous/only-for-cool-kids-who-don't-care-about-rules) is one hell of a drug. Get married and most often boring regular sex becomes risky and an uncommon occurrence again.
As a female, I'll gladly trade "forbidden fruit" for good communication and a fulfilling sex life free of shame about my body leading men to sin.
@blondequijote Interesting take. Maybe, just maybe, you could benefit from examining what you said there a bit more.
Your making little sense from a promise that never showed the proof of its nothing but complete promises and never prevailed. its contradictory lets the Christian Cherry pick and twist the hell in to People confusing and frustrative. 1 verse in Scriptures agree and the next verse say's the opposite. making the Bible each persons own shape FRUSTRATIVE CONFUSION OF A DEVIL HOLY EVIL. its elected are not good or bad or perverted doesn't matter for it elects only who it wants is totally rediculous man made prapaganda over controll of Mans kind to commfort man. Y ou don't bring up scriptures because you know truthfuly its full of contradictions and confused OPOSTLES AND EPISTLES DECIPLES . Jesuses Generations after generations he said he come and never did can be easly contradicted because its contradiction in the Book. How can the Bible God be so cruel Manipulative condoning genicide Rape and then paul saying it is wrong but Jesus builds a great lake of fire after God forgives us in Romans.@@letsomethingshine
Why did God Judge Adam and Eve before they had Knowledge? He strictly threatened them to death which they had no knowledge of befor they ate the forbiden fruit GET IT?@@tinyshepherdess7710
This is why Good Wizarrd (G-d for short) is a better magical entity than God. The magical new religion of tadaism with Harry Potter as its savior is more concerned with freeing slaves (of religion and economic systems) in emulation of our savior Harry Potter than what we do with our wands in the privacy of our homes
Introduction starts around 20'00" Seth comes up around 33'00"
just state is as 33:00 and it will automatically link to that part of the video
Thank you.
I agree with every point the speaker made and almost all the established (in the scientific sense) he cited. I would like to disagree with his characterization as of the human authors of biblical texts as “primitive men.” They we’re Homo sapiens, the same as you and me. In terms of our species’s evolution, there have been no significant changes since biblical times, nor for 200,000 (two hundred thousand) years before that. This is not a reduction of any important point. I recommend to religious naturalists that they develop functional mental models of evolutionary time.
I think mr Andrews is well aware of evolution and uses primitive in this talk in an other way. More in the line of not having the knowledge and tools we have now. We learned thing since the bible got written. A lot of information in it is obsolete and debunked. Holding on to it unwise. Especially because it full of atrocities and amoral teachings as well. Cherry picking the good parts and ignoring the bad parts is laudable but you're only halfway there.
Believing in a god who says these things makes one intellectually primitive. Seth was not stating that they were actually Homo habilis, just that they were dumb.
They will as soon as God sends them the Tools of Knowledge to go beyong any Scientific aspect of Rational reason neverhappened yet with Embarrassment. Humans are still Ape like and we are today just the Scraps of tomarrow so fuck hores to keep the ball rolling unfortunately ? We are just the Continuous mistakes burned off till the perfect Human correction Prevails for them the Humans of tomorrow . us we are just the usless examples like Dirt pepples because time forgets us like a water drip evaporates we are nothing? This really sucks? a creator is better because Humans aspect is with a Creator and not Naturall Selection for about 6 billion so called stupid Gullibles. yet, Natural selection is winning at this time period Moment and the Future is our Creator still because No Christian is going to have time to believe all the books or what is told to believe is just other beliefs and not rational enough unless your a Scientist. Materialized creating is not what we think it is. APOLOGETICS CAN ALSO MAKE UP WORDS AS SCIENCE CAN ALSO? But does it really feed to make it believable unless its proven? Naturall selection as an atheist still is pretty off at the slightest touch of critical thinking and who cares about being draged in to a book which takes years know if its true ? then being shocked to the brain later it was more fake than fake dog shit Appologist think? But they don't make any more Sense than Naturall Selection Whether a Spirit or not can be detected like the Wind scale or the Radio waves and many other's. Can't also believe trillions of Humans were just wasted Scraps for what ever tommarow will Bring sounds like the lies or truths that can not be Detected yet is INSANE TO THE BRAIN. Why a hopeful possible loving none Manipultive Creator will explain all its mistakes because a other power is being let to make our life usless. Makes little sense but more think it makes lots of sense.
I understand your point that they weren't biologically inferior, but there has been massive leaps in societal development, particularly in science so in that sense they could be considered to be primitive. We are talking about a time when average life expectancy was under 40.
Thoughts after the fact. I've been wondering if sexual purity culture might be the same as cultural norms like halal and kosher. There may have been a time when such cultural rules may have provided benefit, but always at a cost. Sexual purity culture could be asserted to cause far more harm than good.
Jewish women refrain from sex and contact during period. They then count days then purify in the mikveh. They dress it up as martial sanctity and keeps passion alive e ct. It's really the misogynistic idea that women and periods are dirty and pollute men. Women tempt men ect. Its victim blaming.
Painful listen. Great speaker. Horrible production values (mostly sound). But I got thru most of it. Up your production game with these incredible and important speakers.
Aref takes a really well thought-out, coherent approach to this important topic.
Incredible story with the tightrope walker, by the way. The chanting of "Ted" and "Danny" truly moved me. Thank you.
44:30 "I know I'm supposed to think..." Bart, why are you "supposed to think" anything as a secular humanist? Thanks.
A recht schiarche Precht habts da gfunden sehr schen. Säkulare grüße aus Österreich :)
this is a long talk (quicker at 1.5x), but very satisfying to discover that there's hope that the so-called "christian right" might be returned to pandora's box.
I just finished his book ," Childish Things", excellent book. The book was so good that now I'm following Dave on UA-cam.
At 1:03:08, the bottom left should read right helicity. At the bottom right, it should read left helicity. Left helicity is CW. Right helicity is CCW.
Please disregard 1:13:46-1:16:03; it contains a math error.
The correct analysis is V is the angular velocity c is the speed of light alpha is the fine structure constant ~1/137 V1 is c/alpha per classical rotation of charge radius. R1 is the classical charge radius = 2.82 fm R2 = 0.159 string/2= 0.0795 string S is the arc length = distance Θ is the angle S/r t is time 1 bond contains (1/3 string)2 1 bond = 0.346 fm (based on 1/5 nucleon diameter) 0.346 fm = 2/3 string 1 string = 0.519 fm V2=V1(R2/R1) = 2c However, spinor is spin ½, not spin 1. A full rotation of charge radius is only a ½ rotation for the spinor. Adjusted for spin V2 = c So, the part that is moving is a magnetic moment traveling at the speed of light! So, spin can be a classical rotation!
Nobody says it better than Dan Barker!
Isn’t “People are more important than beliefs” a belief?
That's correct. Its one of our core values that defines our interaction with those around us irrespective of their political, philosophical and religious/non religious beliefs.
Lucifer the proud is brilliant
Yeah I let her chase this butterfly this morning.
Christianity is incredibly toxic and unhealthy. I’m glad you evolved and got outta that toxic cult
Black atheists really need to be more vocal around our communities. Our ppl are soo indoctrinated with the christian bs that I fear sometimes we just keep our thoughts to ourselves. Every chance I get, if someone starts to spew religious jargon my way, I go in asap. Christianity is one of the most destructive religions ever made by men
There is no limit to what the mind can achieve when put to meaningful pursuit.
