In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Secular Rarity is hosting alongside the recently engaged ObjectivelyDan!  Austin in NC thinks free will shouldnt be argued because there is no good evidence. So that may cause some people, depressed or not, to give up on succeeding in life. Lack of free will doesn’t mean you can’t change things, it's just that we're in a physical universe. When discussing free will with others, don’t expect immediate change. It can be a bit of a depressing topic but it...

In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and AlmostDoctor1(Matt), look at reflections of their future selves as churches being taxed is contemplated and they conclude that the universe may not be deterministic.  Cole in DC saw a reflection of an older version of himself and felt at the time that this was a way of seeing into another universe.  How has your idea changed about the experience now that you know it was not what you thought it was? Is it safe to say you are in a better...

In today’s episode of the Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and Infidel64 discover an ancient Chinese Dragon after studying history that did not quite lead to their belief in Catholicism, but did remind us of how our policies are still based on ancient mythology. Saphri’ell in NY informs us about a 240 million year old Chinese Water Dragon that seems to have been right out of mythology. Without a doubt it would be cool if we found something like this alive, however, let’s not forget what...

Ryan in NY asks if the Abrahamic god can be falsified when theists describe him as outside of space and time. We do not even know if nothing...

Warren use their free will to talk about animal rights in horror films as UFOs continue to warrant the god of the gaps before attending funerals where relatives declare the deceased are in a league with satan. Jesse in NJ calls to clear up a previous conversation that involved the use of Google for the discussion. Dan and Jesse demonstrate how to work out a mistake in a classy way. Thank you both for being examples of how to...

In today’s episode of the Truth Wanted, Kelley Laughlin and The Cross-Examiner ponder how effective it is to talk with theists as they identify the labels of Irish ghosts all being synchronized with prayer. Jerry in Ireland expresses how it can be pointless to talk with theists and how the Socratic Method did work for him, but only one time. If we can have these conversations, we can show them that we are people just like they are. It works the best when there is an audience and the...

In today’s episode of the Truth Wanted, Objectively Dan and Sydney David Jr Jr work through ways to overcome homophobia and number obsessions while wrestling with prophecies and conspiracy theories. Alfonso in WA is trying to overcome the icky feeling he gets when he sees two men kissing. Our feelings of other people have nothing to do with how we should treat them. People feel grossed out when seeing anyone kissing, regardless of the genders, because they did not give consent to see this...

In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, MD Aware and Calvin Smith give a repeat caller some deep thinking homework to help reduce his ad hoc claims, before discussing Diquis Spheres and how to prevent the furthering of pseudoscience. Frequent Caller in TX argues that people who saw god did not actually recognize him as god. How does this equate to everyone needing to believe in god? Have we interacted with god and did not realize it? This is an unjustifiable hypothesis. How is it my problem if...

Welcome to Truth Wanted! This week we have ObjectivelyDan and Phil Ferguson taking your calls. We get into prayer, why crypto is a scam, and other issues. First up is Coop the Coop-Cooper in NY is perplexed why Dan would tell them they could continue praying while deconstructing their belief. Sure, you can pray to anything, anyone, or no one, who cares. Phil brings up the argument that why are believers praying to a god to change the plan created for them. If prayer makes you feel good or...
