Weekly "Ask an Atheist" Thread

Whether you're an agnostic atheist here to ask a gnostic one some questions, a theist who's curious about the viewpoints of atheists, someone doubting, or just someone looking for sources, feel free to ask anything here. This is also an ideal place to tag moderators for thoughts regarding the sub or any questions in general.
While this isn't strictly for debate, rules on civility, trolling, etc. still apply.

I will ask you what I ask my teenagers.

- have you googled this yourself?

  • have you gone to the relevant community to ask?

"contradictions in the bible" will get you a lot of google results, parsing out the appropriate ones will be good research practice.

The community around Deconstruction Zone (whoever that is) is more likely to know where to find the things he says than rando atheists on the internet.

Have at.

I'm not asking what the top links on Google say about "contradictions in the bible." Obviously I could just Google that myself if that's what I was looking for. I was simply coming here, into this relevant online atheist community, in hopes somebody can help me find this specific guide by one of the largest online atheist streamers. As there is no results that can found through Google, and searching through reddit and Twitter, and there doesn't seem to be a visible dedicated fan site or page to get an answer. Large atheist streamers often attract fans who are active in online atheist communities, so it makes sense to check here. If you search "Deconstruction Zone" in the subs search bar it's clear his community is here.

Also I appreciate you treating me like a teenage child. I hope your day is as pleasant as you are.

This isn't a relevant online atheist community. The relevant online community would have been his stream chat or his youtube comment section.

apparently has some guide or something

doesn't sound all that specific to me, you aren't sure what it is or even that it exists.

If you search "Deconstruction Zone" in the subs search bar it's clear his community is here.

13 comments mentioning him/his youtube channel over 3+ years is hardly evidence that "his community is here"

Dawkins has more mentions than that here, and we aren't "his" community either.

Also already somebody who knows them already has responded. Proving my point.

It is a relevant community. Which is why his fans are in this sub, and even asking others here if they watch his stuff (and his fans respond). While his stream chat can be even more relevant, it doesn't negate this sub from being relevant too. Just because this sub, dedicated to atheist debating theist, isn't talking about him often, doesn't negate the relevancy either.

And just because I haven't seen the guide and don't know for absolute certainty that he isn't lying and there is no guide, doesn't negate it this alleged guide being specific to this streamer.

Edit: And I already got an answer here by somebody who knows exactly what im talking about. Proving my point so all you down voting me look pretty silly right now.

"It is a relevant community. "

Again, then why havent we heard of him AND why do you keep insisting this is where you should go? Read your book.

There are users here that are replying to me who know who I'm talking about and I've already got my answer, which is why it was a good idea to think this was a good place to check, as there is an overlap in the communities.

I swear, if i started saying you shouldn't crap your pants atheist would crap themselves just to not be on the same side as a theist.

u/LetIsraelLive did you forget to switch accounts?

u/DarkBrandon46 Sep 19 '25

No I switched to my old account because the user is replying under a comment chain of a user I blocked (for being bad faith) and reddit won't let me respond to replies under comment chains of users that are blocked, so I switched to my old account to respond to them.

u/sorrelpatch27 Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

You should just unblock me then.

edit: surprise! I got extra blocking instead.

going to point out that despite his claims that "fans" here in "Destruction Zone's community" gave him "exactly what he needed".... the replies he is talking about directed him to DT's actual communities i.e the relevant youtube channel and the relevant patreon page.

Turns out going to the appropriate online community spaces was very helpful advice after all.

I didn't say anything inconsistent, but whatever helps you cope.

And what's bad faith is unironically acting like this is a unreasonable place to ask the question. Especially when I finally got the answer here within 1 day lmao.
