Flynn, can you get in touch with me?

I'm guessing that the "bad person" thing comes from experiencing Stephanie's behaviour outside of this AXP segment. I can't reasonably infer "bad person" from this, just "stupid person". And the only reason I'm comfortable in that inference is because it was demonstrated. Gainsaying, naysaying and a wilful opposition to logical fallacies. What encounters have you had that lead you to believe she is bad? I'd love to hear.

@@NxDoyle You are correct in your assumption that my remark about her poor character was based largely upon my encounters with her outside of the AXP video. That said, I think I could build a pretty strong case for her bad character based on this short clip alone. I contend that her repeated refusal to accept Matt's account of his role in the authorship and curation of the wiki in question wasn't just rooted in stupidity; rather, it was driven by animosity. This AXP interaction aside, here are a few pieces of evidence that testify to her poor character. (1) She has said that Christopher Hitchens's esophageal cancer was a punishment from Yahweh for Hitch's atheism. (2) She has said on multiple occasions that atheists cannot be good parents, and that their children are "weeds." (3) She has posted pics of her students' papers in order to mock their abilities and performance. (4) She said that if a Twitter user didn't unblock her, it would threaten his eternal wellbeing. (5) Her commentary on a famous photo of a dying African child was that God had engineered the taking of that photo to strengthen the character and empathy of people who might see it. (6) She has maintained close associations with some of the most vile, hateful people on social media, and has refused to disavow their hate-filled rhetoric. And now the icing on the cake: when asked about these lapses and others, her response was mostly just to laugh them off: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5ycnZV4mdGupo0.html. My apologies for the choppy video. In short, yes: Stephanie is a bad person for reasons that aren't captured in her ill-advised call to the AXP.

@@NxDoyle I'm not sure if Flynn's encounter is still online, he pointed out exactly to her why she's a terrible human being. My encounters with her are still on this channel. The last one will tell you all you need to know. I was part of what led to this clip, and Stephanie blackmailed me for having the clip on here. She tried to get my KZfaq channel shut down with false accusations. When that didn't work, she started a DM group on Twitter to get Atheists and others who disagreed with her suspended by mass reporting them. The group still exists and Flynn and I fell victim to it more than once. Stephanie is a vile human being, who wants to silence everyone who disagrees with her, or exposes her lies. While I haven't yet, several people have emailed U of Tampa why they employ a disgusting woman like her. Her Twitter timeline is one of the worst you'll come across. De-humanizing the LGBTQ community, supporting people who think Atheists should be gassed, made infertile or culled from the USA. She plays a nice woman, only to attack people behind the scenes. She should not be teaching kids, as she has admitted she will try to indoctrinate students outside of class hours. Instead of going after her job, we've developed merchandise in the "blocked by" series. We run a commercial for it before every new show we do. Proceeds will go towards charities Stephanie hates and wants to shut down. The merch addressing Stephanie is called "Blocked by SJ". You can check it out here: scientistmel.com/shop Peter DeTukker.

This has been a public service announcement.

Haliax I don't think narcissism isn't an "either or" thing. It is a spectrum where some people have stronger narcissistic tendencies than others. I have heard therapists say the same thing. I thought of demanding that my father should be checked for one ... But I realized that whether or not he has a clinical diagnosis wouldn't change the fact that he was indeed poisoning the family, lying to our faces, extremely manipulative, controlling, violent, and completely unable to admit even the smallest mistakes let alone even saying the word "sorry" etc. Diagnosis or not; I wouldn't want him in my life for another second.

A complete narcissist she is.

Even when Matt puts her on hold, she kept talking, meaning she didn't listen to Matt at all. She was interested in presenting her opinion, and _not_ interested in discussing it.

And I can’t wait to hold her head under water for 4-5 minutes

How do you debate someone who will hang up on you if you won't follow their parameters of the conversation? What Matt did was basically say. Let's talk about this, BUT, your form of talking is not acceptable for the conversation. What this has proven is that Matt only actually cares about the drama created from his podcast, and not the actual content. Don't be so emotional Matt.

@@Silentjackll Actually all he cares about is having a logical discussion with someone who just isn't going to divert the question and spout logical fallacies without accepting it is a logical fallacy. His parameters are set up so a constructive and informative discourse can occur, not so he can always win. Although that does tend to happen.

HAHAHAHA

She will 100% not allow atheists be her "friends".... too brainwashed to be open minded.

The sad truth is that some of those atheists--myself included--made a genuine effort to coach her before her AXP appearance so that she wouldn't come off like an idiot. So much for that.

Seriously it was kinda sad.

Also, I feel the need to point out that "they saw something" doesn't necessarily mean "they saw god/Jesus/the Resurrection"; people's eyes can deceive them, their perceptions can be wrong.

Ahhh so it IS a belief system after all. It seems that you, along with many other atheists, indulge in these hate-shows full of arguing & negativity, in order to bolster the FAITH you are placing in your atheism.

What atheist beliefs? o.O

@@cy-one Because of the beliefs pushed by Pagans and Blasphemers like Dilahuntey, Dawkins, and Darwin, who attempt to poison faith and souls with " scientific "absurd lies that we have accepted as true to absolute trust, as it was" scientific "and inscribed in the textbooks as "scientific theories” that were embedded in our textbooks many centuries back long before coming out into space and prove to be that the Earth is a spherical Globe and yes Darwin's Evolution has been supported, that is, we have been trusted long before it is proven that the Earth is Globe, it has already been in the classrooms as a proven fact, and since science says this is a proven fact, we must accept it and this is not a matter of discussion, nor of contemplating, opposing or refuting this "proven" - "scientific" question! "This Richard Dawkins, who called the Lord God the most evil, abhorrent and insulting words, that God is a psychotic, psychosomatic criminal, invented of crazy and misguided people. This Richard Dawkins even says, laughing, that in his book there is a better description of the Lord God by reading a quote from his book: "The God of the Old Testament is undoubtedly the most unpleasant character in all possible fantasies jealous and proud, a petty bastard who forgives him under his control, a fugitive bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser, a myogenic, homophobic racist, infantile Genocide Phyllis idle, a petty megalomania, a somato-chaotic, capricious malicious abuser! "it is possible that such a man filled with hatred of the Lord - God and homage to the Devil (because only the Devil is filled with hatred), a person who claims to honor "science", how can he say such abominable and simple and offensive words directed only to our little faith, preaching to totally give up and "set free" from it?

Spacecraft does not exist the way the scientists and NASA present it to us ALL rockets that fly upward change their trajectories horizontally and detonate in a controllable environment No Missile Engine exists that simultaneously operates in a normal atmosphere and at the same time functions in a diluted atmosphere, and most of all in a vacuum, because without air there is nothing else to move them in. Instead, missiles and shuttles would be thrown out of control turning around your own axes in all directions like a gyroscope It would have been impossible to fly to the moon or go anywhere in any direction, especially if "gravity" was real and constantly sucking you to the closest and most dense body But even if there was such an engine, imagine how it would work in a vacuum, since the thrust of the engine would be meaningless, because there is not really what to push, because there is no other force to oppose or counteract it to there is some push in any direction, making it impossible to move the rocket even a centimeter in vacuum space. You know how airplanes and missiles fly in the atmosphere that has a density and they actually push it to move, but the vacuum can not be pushed because the vacuum is nothing, it has no density and can not counteract or react to the rocket engine! We really make us fools, because we are not familiar with the principle of engine work in vacuum for their convenient profit. If the vacuum existed in space, no magical "gravity" and no force of gravity could be able to hold our Atmosphere under pressure!

A gynecologist who has been abducted has not seen such a perverse abusive lie, and can confirm this! "The Dinosaurs" were also created to support "Evolution" because it began to lament and collapse long before the complexity of the human genome was established and discovered. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs exist only in Hollywood movies and in some museums only as plastic attributes and plastic skeletons, and when we ask where the real big bones are, they answer that they are seized in a safe place so that they do not get damaged and offer us to look only the small bones that are ordinary chicken bones!

Stephanie is the prototype Christian who lacks the ability to listen and lacks comprehensive knowledge of logic. She also is very reluctant to admit she lies, even when several people point out to her there's evidence she's lying. Stephanie is filled with an inexpiable hate against non-believers and will rather admit every religion on the planet is correct, than the fact there is no good evidence for her god. In my opinion, the most irrational position to take. I'll be enjoying my THIRD block by Stephanie.

@DastardlyDawkins You are confused.... what "we guys" are is fairly simple: we do not believe anyone has provided any reasonable evidence for the existence of a God. Her call is on it's face ridiculous. She makes multiple false statements. She states that the weakness of atheism is the fact that it regularly says "we don't know". When you don't know something, the right answer is not "God", it is "we don't know". Making up an answer to support a stone age set of beliefs is not something that fits your idea of "highest academic standing". Does that help, or are you determined to be confused?

They don’t want to hear that many of the two billion Christians in the world have strong personal testimonies. This “anecdotal” evidence, even when considered collectively, is not enough. I told them that I could collect testimonies from a thousand people in my church to create an empirical study using subjective content analysis, which would analyze themes and patterns. They reply that they need physical evidence. Of course, they know that I can’t produce physical evidence of the metaphysical."

It is incredibly me.

+Paul V. Montefusco "What was the relevance of that page, anyway?" Iron Chariots wiki is a web ressource Matt has supported and cited a lot in the past for its relevant contents to the debate about atheism. He also stated he was involved in creating it "12 years ago" in the video we are commenting on here... as for the name it is a reference to a bit in the Pentateuch where it says that god helped the Israelites to conquer all of Canaan, except for the valleys as the folks there had "Iron Chariots", so that is a weapon that can beat YHWH! btw i don't know if you found the episode in question, but this is the link given on the AXP archive website for 2017 03 12; Matt Dillahunti and John Iacoletti taking viewer calls : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bttxrclj1r2uY3k.html

If you were aware of everything that lead up to this on Twitter, you'd know I had no chance in hell getting it all in the title. But you have a point though...

I can imagine. That woman went all over the place. I heard this exchange live when it happened and searched for it on youtube a couple of days later. I notice Stephanie was banned by Matt on Twitter shortly after the show. Her only takeaway from the show seemed to be that Matt thought the apostles came out of hiding because they were hungry. I think she could at least have considered some of the other parts where less irony was involved ... Pummeling appears to be a fulfilled prophesy in this case.

Matt did block her. But not before she went on a blocking spree, blocking almost everybody involved in the thread that lead to her call. Stephanie's not big on taking criticism...

That is a rather grim perspective! She was suicidal and Matt went with it ... Out of compassion?

→ to the knee She blocked irrationally. Even people that hadn't addressed her before. She seems to be falling for Dean Esmay aka Max Kolbe from Escaping Atheism. In my opinion a fast growing hate group. Dean is as incoherent as they come and has already stated all religions are true. Stephanie's biggest blunder was that she used her real name in her Twitter handle @SJThomason. She told in another video, she feared her employer would find out about her activities on Twitter and KZfaq.

I can sum it up in five words: We don't believe that part.

Well then why bother believing any of it if you're just going to cherry-pick the good parts of the bible?

For the record I am an atheist but is that not an old testament verse? Christians are freed from Mosaic law and the old testament with the death of Jesus. This negates the old testament to nothing more than an historical document, could be the religious argument. Or you could use the logical argument, these books were written at a time according to the culture of that time...they are not the words of god or they would be less open to interpretation, would be written to an unchanging morality which would be as perfect today as it was then and are instead the feeble and ambiguous scribblings of flawed men.

That part does not count I for her I guess !
