"I disagree with Your approach"

Translation: " You're not talking about it with the spin that my pastor put on it to make it sound okay. "

[mider-spanman]

Him thinking that homosexuality is an abomination but not slavery tells you everything you need to know about his thought process. Crazy how hard all these people defend their book whilst making themselves look stupid.

[Gwaithmir]

“Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.” (Isaac Asimov)

[nookymonster]

Most religious people have spent almost zero time thinking about WHY they believe what they believe.

[sabin]

To become a good Christian you first have to throw your morality out the window.

I always feel so bad for Don. Sitting there silently hearing people casually proclaim that they earnestly believe that he should literally die. It’s really sad and heartbreaking that he still has to deal with that…. And yet despite all that screwed up, messed up, morally repugnant rhetoric and speech, he still shows up and still tries to help them see the better way. He still smiles and still tries his best to support the show and give his opinion and never makes it about himself or his own feelings or his own life . He is such a great host and I loved his earlier videos so much. It’s just an honor to see him up there and see how strong he is during these kind of calls.

[Showcardsusa]

There are a ton of people exactly like this caller, and we’ve seen them come out of the woodwork over the last 8 years…

[adamheywood]

Amazing how these people are happy to accept the Bible is the _inspired_ word of God but they never bother to ask themselves why he didn't just write it himself

[ChallengeYourBeliefs]

God loves his creation unconditionally.

Christians: You can get salvation on the CONDITION that you believe in the same thing we do.

[Airplanemode-gl]

He was like a computer program caught in an infinite loop

[WolfgangBrozart]

Love how they defend owning people as property and then get offended at language.

[renedekker]

That is exactly the bad influence of religion: people who don't stand up for their moral values, or even change their moral values, because they are afraid God might not agree with them.

[Acteaon]

6:41 its soooo ridiculously difficult for them to answer/ opine on a simple yes or no question. Wow 😮 paradigm example of an indoctrinated mind…incredibly amusing when a mind like that begins to face contradictions.

[Mavuika_Gyaru]

Callers like this shows that religion is a cult. He has no logic and no reasoning, he blindly follows an immoral book

[dojo]

This brings back memories. When I was a Christian I had read the entire Bible multiple times and I just remember working so hard to find desperate excuses for the terrible things in it. It's like a battered woman making excuses for her abusive husband. You know that it's wrong on the inside, but you can't accept that it's wrong.

[davidbelway]

Calvin you were gifted with a platform and time span bigger that you could hope for to present your case. Not only did you fail at making a reasonable point, but you went so far as to proclaim you didn't get a fare chance. WOW!

[Mr_Porter]

I've encountered Theists like Calvin numerous times over the years, and it's incredibly frustrating to try and get them to acknowledge that their God is reprehensible according to the scriptures. They only want to use the bible as a guide for life when it's convenient for them, and when you bring up something as absurd as slavery or how women are treated, they always have either a pre-prepared answer they got from their pastor or an apologetic one to justify it.

The problem with The Bible is that it exists

[jesuslopez-fedv]

The best way to be respectful to your slaves is not to own them in the first place.

[ChallengeYourBeliefs]

How is it that theist trolls still, STILL keep thinking atheism and science are the same?

And THEN they claim that science has been debunked by science, by which he doesn't mean science. They can't give a SINGLE scientific citation.
