Truth Wanted 03.44 12-04-2020 with ObjectivelyDan and Bryce Cornell

Summary: Good evening, Truth Seekers! Tonight’s episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan is joined by our special guest, Bryce Cornell. Bryce is a former believer turned atheist and co-hosts on The Empathetic Atheist. He left his faith after realizing believing first is not a good pathway to truth. <br>First caller tonight, Geo in AZ experienced a burned in hand print on the floor that moved around his old house. This only happened 3 times in ~20 years. How would you explain this? This is just an odd story and no way to substantiate or even investigate it any longer. We can’t jump to the supernatural on this, I don’t know is the perfect answer. <br>Carpe Diem in CO asks our opinions on the morality of bringing kids into this world. Dan is an antinatalist, there are kids in the foster system that need help if one chooses to bring up kids. It sounds like Carpe’s wife is leaning toward wanting to have a baby and you aren’t, you need to have these discussions together and see if there is a middle ground.<br>Yo in TX asks how can a vegan diet give you enough energy to make it through the day. Most of what we get our energy from is carbohydrates/sugars, not meat. You can get all your protein from a vegan diet, make sure you get all your nutritional requirements. Take small steps for yourself if you want to move toward veganism.<br>Glenn in PA says that vegans aren’t saving animal lives, arguing it's better to live a short time than not exist. We don’t agree. In your hypothetical, we would rather not live than die in childhood, one couldn’t care if they didn’t exist. This argument doesn’t make sense, would a farmed animal agree with you? <br>Our last caller tonight, Scott in PA asks how our views changed on LGBT issues from when you were a christian. Dan thought it wasn’t the equivalent of a straight relationship so there was something wrong. It took a little empathy to challenge that belief. Luckily, it's more acceptable now to be LGBT. <br>That's all the Truth for this week!
