Description

The last couple weeks have been a bit heated. Let's see if we can focus on some level-headed Socratic dialogue this week.... if the callers will let us... Give us a call and chat with us about what you believe and why: 585-526-8774 or tiny.cc/callSG ___________TIME STAMPS & CALL NOTES5:15 - Tom (he/him) - GA - Are Presups Narcissists? 15:45 - Judy (she/her) - IN - Ex-JW Talks About Planned Parenthood 25:25 - Nick (he/him) - VA - Tips on Starting An Atheist Activist Channel 38:00 - Christine (she/her) - WA - Are Spirituality and Religion the Same Thing? 50:30 - Josh (he/him) - N.L. - Biology Teacher vs. Small Religious Town 5:15 Can you tell if someone is a narcissist by the type of apologetic they use? No. But it’s very possible that people with certain worldviews are attracted to communities that normalize their outlooks and behaviors. To that end, this caller wants to know if we think there is an overlap between those with narcissistic personality disorder and those Darth Dawkins clones who rely on the “I’m right by definition” tactic underpinning presuppositionalism. 15:45 Judy was a Jehovah’s Witness when she suggested her daughter’s friend go to Planned Parenthood after discovering she was pregnant. Now deconverted, this caller wanted to share her story and normalize people (regardless of religion) taking advantage of the benefits PP provides. Vi shares some of their own story as well. 25:25 Ever want to learn how to safely and smartly create an atheist activist channel? Nick calls in and asks for advice, and Eric is super excited to give him all the tips and tricks to success. Vi points out some specific ways to avoid doxxing and being targeted by those who might wish you harm. 38:00 Are spirituality and religion intrinsically linked? Can you truly be SPNR (spiritual but not religious)? That depends on how you define it. I know, shocker. The caller, Vi, and Eric all reveal they have different definitions of spirituality, which impact their answer to this question. And that, after all, is the real moral of the story. 50:30 As a biology teacher and a skeptic in a small town full of religious folk, how do you best reach the kids in your class? Eric and Vi point out a variety of ways to get involved in a way that will not ostracize you from the community or paint a target on your back. ___________ Skeptic Generation is LIVE every Sunday at 11:30am-1:00pm CTCall on your phone: 585-LA-MURPH (585-526-8774) Call online: https://tiny.cc/callSG Love the show?
