M&A045 - Are Lack of Spiritual Experiences Due to Individual Failures? (w/ Vi La Bianca)

01/18/22 • 43 min

Our atheist guest, Vi La Bianca asked, “how do you know what God’s heart is if what we are all experiencing collectively, probably isn’t it.” What a good question!

Vi agrees that we (as a society) are not looking at Christianity in the way that it was originally intended to be looked at...as we continue to review Letter to a Christian Nation, by Sam Harris, it becomes more glaringly obvious that Sam Harris is raising concerns about theology that isn’t on point with how Jesus intended his Church to operate in the world. In Part 2 of our conversation with atheist guest, Vi La Bianca, we dive deep into concerns about the overall message and consequences of American Christianity.

Vi is a popular atheist YouTuber known for the Skeptic Generation Call-in Show w/ Eric D. Murphy and How To Skeptic. Vi has two years of experience in atheist and gender activism.

If you haven’t heard the genesis of how we got involved with doing a book review of Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris, you’ll want to first listen to Part 1 of our conversation with Vi at MiraclesandAtheists.com/044.

M&A044 - A Look at Sam Harris…with an Atheist (w/ Vi La Bianca)

Two Christians review an antagonistic atheist’s book with an intellectually honest atheist...Our guest is YouTuber Vi La Bianca, known for the Secular Sexuality and the Skeptic Generation Call-in Show w/ Eric D. Murphy. Vi is the founder of How To Skeptic, and has two years of experience in atheist and gender activism.

We sincerely appreciate that Vi took the time to be with us and have a discussion about Sam Harris’ book, Letter to a Christian Nation. This all got started when Nick met an atheist in a sporting goods store in Raleigh. They were in the shoe section and got to talking about Lebron James. One thing led to another, he mentioned he was an atheist and Nick invited his new atheist friend to be a guest on Miracles & Atheists. He hesitated a bit but eventually said something along the lines of, “I tell you what, I want to send you a book. I’ve never had a Christian be able to answer or talk about the questions posed in this book. If you can respond to the things in the book I’ll be on your podcast.” So he suggested Nick read Letter to a Christian Nation...and here we are.

Well, we haven’t been able to sync up and talk with our atheist friend from the store yet, but we were able to have a solid conversation about the book with Vi, and we’re grateful for the opportunity. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Vi isn’t a big fan...find out why in this presentation of The Miracles & Atheists Podcast.
