Why Are You an Atheist?

Staff Apologist Trent Horn asks listeners, “Why Aren’t You Catholic?” Their answers spark some unexpected conversations.

Questions and Topics Covered:

• 06:45 - I’m an Atheist because when thinking about life and the reasons why we’re here, it’s just impossible to grasp the concept.
• 15:19 - It’s Christian theology that God allows human suffering and could intervene. God does not intervene since terrible things happen like children getting cancer, slavery, and the holocaust, so I do not believe in God.
• 28:15 - There is no proof that there is anything supernatural.
• 45:15 - In such a big universe, it doesn’t really make sense that God would care in general about one species on one planet.
• 50:55 - I don’t believe I’ve ever been exposed to any teaching that would cause me to believe in God; I am content with the fact that I don’t know.
