no idea how interesting this will be. John Stossell is the host, and he's an admitted but regretful Atheist. anyway, thought i'd point it out for those who might want to watch.

I won't watch it, mostly because I don't watch Faux Noise on principle, but I'll be interested to hear if the discussions are handled fairly or if the typical Faux spin is in place.
I suppose if there is a saving grace in any of that it is that Bill O'Reilly isn't moderating the show.

And the competing opinions do not deserve equal time, as only one can be demonstrated to be true and predictive (hint: not God).
And Fox will not give equal time to Hindus, Muslims, Shinto, Bahai, Shikism, Wicca, or any other of a host of ten thousand versions of Protestant Christianity, most mutually exclusive.
It is propaganda, part of their non-War on Christmas. I would rather watch a test card with a thousand hertz tone.

i'm not sure if there's much difference, but this isn't on Fox News, it's on Fox Business News which is a separate channel. it might be worth watching just to see Krauss slay some dragons.
I recently finished A Universe From Nothing (audio version.) It made my head hurt, but in a good way. Krauss certainly knows a thing or two about rationality.

i saw him speak here in Philadelphia about a year ago. it was his first lecture on his tour. fascinating how "nothing" is no longer nothing. also how "something" can appear from what we used to consider nothing. it's the one of the best arguments physics can make to dispel the notion that Goddidit.

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
