Periscope App - God Debate

Post by TheVeganAtheist »

I recently discovered an app called Periscope, which is essentially an app that broadcasts live video from around the world. Anyone can broadcast, and you can type in questions or comments. I happened to come onto a video/chat where a Christian was answering questions about the bible, and I asked him a whole bunch of questions.

He believes in a 6000 year old earth. Does not believe in evolution. Believes the gospels were first hand accounts of eyewitnesses. Believes that they were written actually by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. When I asked questions, and gave suggestions on books to read, my sincerity was questioned. The others on the chat showed me no love as well. It was sort of fun, and frustrating at the same time.

Anyone else try this app out?

For whatever reason I cannot find the app that you're talking about. Whenever I try to search for it the top result is Twitter. Regardless, I can understand your frustration with those users.

Its available on Apple App store as well. I did a test broadcast today and was answering questions. I think next time I do it, I will advertise on twitter and facebook so perhaps more will join.
