Summary
 WHAT IS TRUTH WANTED? 🤔

Truth Wanted is a show about getting to the bottom of beliefs, whether it’s karma or Christ, Bigfoot or crystals. Truth Wanted would like to know how you know it’s true.

Hosted by ObjectivelyDan, Truth Wanted takes calls from the community (that means YOU!) and features new guests every week, emphasizing thorough conversations over name-calling and scoffing (most of the time). Truth Wanted focuses on how and why people believe what they believe, and how you can talk about beliefs in more effective ways.

    Truth Wanted 9.44 with ObjectivelyDan and Nintendrew
    Nov 2 2026
    In today's episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and Nintendrew, later joined by The Beard of Empathy, tackle a world run on Jesus, the magic of manifesting, and a prayer that actually got answered!

    Bob in NY, a Catholic, argues the world would be better if everyone followed Jesus. Would turning the other cheek really fix things? The hosts weigh Jesus' flaws, Pascal's wager, and faith versus evidence. Is belief a reliable path to truth?

    Seconds after the hosts pray for a caller, Patrick from Earth, a self-declared ultimate Gnostic atheist, insists atheists waste time debating Christianity, citing Nietzsche, Bob Marley and G.I. Joe. Is knowing really half the battle?

    Thank you for tuning in this week! We will see you next time!

    Truth Wanted 9.43 with ObjectivelyDan and Kelley Laughlin
    Oct 26 2026
    In today's episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan, Kelley Laughlin, and The Beard of Empathy tackle standards of evidence, miracle claims, and the false binaries of moral philosophy!

    Dean in VA questions why skeptics can't specify what would convince them of supernatural claims. What counts as good evidence for a miracle versus a historical event? The hosts explore the difference between empirical and testimonial evidence. When someone claims a miracle, why should we accept testimony over repeatable observation? If a claim can't be tested or falsified, what makes it worth believing? The conversation reveals how shifting standards and unfalsifiable claims make productive dialogue nearly impossible.

    Gohan in TX insists morality is either utilitarian or absolute, arguing atheists can only have goal-oriented ethics. Why present this as a binary when multiple moral frameworks exist? The hosts clarify distinctions between utilitarianism, consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Can you hold moral principles without believing in absolute divine commands? What happens when you confuse philosophical terms and collapse nuanced positions into false dichotomies? This call exposes how misunderstanding moral philosophy leads to strawman arguments about atheist ethics.

    Truth Wanted 9.41 with ObjectivelyDan and Chad Harris
    Oct 12 2026
    In today's episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and Chad Harris tackle Christian nationalism, police brutality, and the uncomfortable truths about racism and immigration.

    Big E in TN survived police brutality and shares his frustration that survivors receive less recognition than the families of victims. The hosts empathize deeply and offer resources. Why do we honor the dead more than those who lived through the trauma?

    John in FL insists Christian nationalism isn't ignorant and has been replaced by wokeness. He defends Nick Fuentes and public executions. The hosts dismantle his false dichotomies and racist talking points. What happens when someone mistakes cruelty for conviction?

    Zachary in England shares right-leaning views on immigration, describing immigrants as not advanced. The hosts discuss socioeconomic factors in crime and racism. Zachary thanks them for new perspectives. Can one conversation shift a worldview?
