Atheist News Podcast ProjectHey guys. I probably shouldn't put this off anymore, so I'm just going to jump on it and improvise. I'm pretty sure the show is over. It was a ton of fun doing it, but with work and my son and my wife in school I simply don't have time to do it anymore. Other folks have offered to take over but I don't really feel comfortable with that. Quit while you're ahead, sez I. Anyhow, I payed for another year of hosting, so the archive of podcasts will be available for at least that long. I really enjoyed podcasting, so I might do something again in the future. I'll keep you posted. Thanks guys and gals! It was AMAZING. Love, --Joe Questions, comments?

While drinking my morning coffee and reading the news, I found this lovely article in the LA Times blasting Atheists! Apparently we are all "boo-hoo victims". This chic blasts Richard Dawkins, then proceeds to talk about how in America we (atheists) CAN run for public office!!! WTF? Not in Texas! Atheists CANNNOT run for public office! In the south there are a handful of states that don't allow us to run! Read the article for yourself! It's disgusting.

@moJoe : I just want to say that I appreciate so much your AN podcast. Yesterday I listened to the 5th episode (I've been following from the beginning) and I enjoyed it so much. A point of view from a Eastern European atheist-humanist on torture is that use of force is unacceptable. I agree with you on a psychological approach on obtaining information.
