This podcast is based on a thought that occurred to me a couple nights ago and it's been stirring about in my head. I'm sure it doesn't hold up under close scrutiny. I'm sure ppl who actually believe in this stuff have all kinds of Quran quotes or apologetix or other sleight of hand that makes all t...

This is another sojourn into 'Reader's Theater.' I did NOT write this. I only wish I did. You can read along over at Quiche Moraine (http://quichemoraine.com/2010/02/time-for-atheists-to-stop-it) I only screwed up a few times. Like with the Michael Shermer piece in the previous podcast, I liked the...

I thought I'd take a crack at some reader's theater. I like how Michael Shermer's "Genesis Revisited (http://www.michaelshermer.com/2001/12/genesis-revisited)" reads, so I decided to play with it a bit. My apologies to Mr. Shermer. I didn't mean anything bad. I was trying to do justice with the wor...

I'm still working on part two of my Browncoats Redemption critique. Recorded some stuff today but didn't like it and will probably start from scratch again. The irony is I'm criticizing something I love and can't get the critique to sound right either. Pot? Say hi to kettle...

I was talking to SkinnySlim (http://twitter.com/SkinnySlim_) on Twitter about the Big Bang and he said this (http://www.twitlonger.com/show/652nps) so I replied with this (http://www.twitlonger.com/show/0ad578afeadb3c50304682f06fb14ce8) and after I wrote all that out as a twitlonger piece I decided...

The audio version of this rambling diatribe is at the end, if you'd rather hear me ramble as opposed to read this. It's not word for word I just used this as a starting point.

I make no apologies for how I behave now that I'm an atheist. I made no apologies for how I behaved back when I was a Belie...

I was reading about Sakineh Ashtiani (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/04/world/middleeast/04iran.html) this morning. She's almost my age. They were gonna stone her but now they're talking ab...

If you have a family doctor AND you go to church? You're a hypocrite. You don't really believe in your god and should abandon theology because you know deep down that science actually works and prayer does not. Otherwise, you wouldn't realize you need a doctor...

I've already done a podcast about season two episode one of SyFy Channel's Warehouse 13 (http://www.syfy.com/warehouse13/) but I wanted to focus on one moment near the end of the episode. As an Ex-Believer in the after life I found myself bristling at the ramifications of this moment. In some of my...

I feel I have said this so many times I sound like a broken record, but Believers still use this old tired cliche whenever they argue with me. They insist I must believe in not believing. They can't grasp this concept so I thought I'd attempt to explain it herein. Belief and Faith are concepts that...
