About this listen

 WHAT IS TRUTH WANTED?

Truth Wanted is a show about getting to the bottom of beliefs, whether it’s karma or Christ, Bigfoot or crystals. Truth Wanted would like to know how you know it’s true. Hosted by ObjectivelyDan, Truth Wanted takes calls from the community (that means YOU!) and features new guests every week, emphasizing thorough conversations over name-calling and scoffing (most of the time). Truth Wanted focuses on how and why people believe what they believe, and how you can talk about beliefs in more effective ways. Join us for truth investigations and lively conversations every Friday 7-8:30pm CT 1-512-686-0279

    Join us with Truth Wanted today as Objectively Dan and Unquestionable Cal go to Mars to pass out flyers door to door advocating for atheism.

    Nirro in TN practiced the Threefold Law devoutly for three years and not a thing ever came out of it, however, he did notice the positive mindset turning into positive action and results in the same way positive psychology works. Why do we need magic or extra layers to a working system of positive mindset?

    Jupiter 2 from Canada shows us a photo of a rock formation on Mars from NASA. If you use a magnifying glass, it can show what looks like a little guy with a plate against the chest and a tube that goes into the ground. How do we know this is not just a weird shaped rock? Kelley used a gigantic magnifying glass(the biggest I have ever seen) to look at the photo and it still looks like a rock. Next, he shows a photo from an unknown source that is classic alien stuff from Roswell, NM. A random screenshot of a guy holding a photo of an alien does not even meet your own standards. Why did you settle for this? Hilarious at best.

    Ulises from FL has an idea of the animals being put into hibernation by god to survive a year on the ark during Noah’s Flood. Why should we believe the flood happened in the first place? How is it logical that animals will sleep for a year? The caller revealed that he is figuring some things out as a Jehovah Witness and there is so much more to the world, and how he just wants to live and die with the truth. If god is real and just, he will recognize this desire for you to find the truth. We are happy that you had the courage to call the show and you are always welcome to call! Recovering from religion is a helpful place to start as you navigate through this liberating way of living.

    Daisy in WA wants to know what the hosts think about going door to door the way religious people do or at least doing some more outreach. We should make ourselves known, but approaching someone’s property is crossing a line. Calvin has over 100K followers on another platform and he knew almost no atheists to begin with. We can make an impact without going door to door. Be warned that many people view atheists in the same way they view Muslims and it is not in a positive light. If there is not a group around you, you can form one.

    Bagel in Canada, explains that the only way to win the game is to forget you are playing the game. In other words, if you are a good person but never heard about Jesus, then you get a free pass at the pearly gates. This will work depending on the denomination and has been talked about by theologians. There is one extreme where Baptism is what counts and the other where children under 12 are innocent and get the pass. By introducing somebody to the concept of Christianity, you risk them going to hell.

    Thank you for tuning in! Kelley Laughlin, our back-up host joins us to close out the show and remind us of the question of the week. Complete the sentence: Due to the cesspool of social media, people now believe god is _______.
