Chariots of Iron Season 02, Episode 36: The FIRST ANNIVERSARY EPISODE, with professor PZ Myers!

It's our first birthday! We've finally reached season 2 and to help us celebrate, we have cephalopod nut, Biologist, educator and outspoken atheist blogger Professor PZ Myers on the show with us to talk about his "vacation," the book he's writing, his trip to the Creation Museum, turtle hunting, how he met Richard Dawkins and his enduring friendship with his fishing buddy, Bill Donahue.

...

OK, we made that last part up.

We did, however, have a very special supersonic fly-by from the US Airforce Thunderbirds to help us celebrate our one-year anniversary!

...

Ok, fine. There was an airshow going on near by. Whatever.

But of course, before that we do the news just like we've been doing it FOR ONE WHOLE YEAR. This week in the headlines: Islam is of the Devil, Kentucky gets busted by a Federal Judge, no more holiday shit-storms in Washington, PZ Rescues Joe from a news story that is way over his head, women in Mali show us democracy in action, the Pope says some more dumb stuff and just like last year, we missed the Raelian love fest. Strangely, none of our wives were really all that disappointed.

Be sure to go to http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/ and check out PZ's blog! Do eeeet. Click the link. You'll love it, I promise.

Love your show, I found you almost as soon as you started the podcast, and it is difficult to wait two weeks for the next one...

I think he now respects me on a deeper level because he realizes that I too am in tune with nature.

=P

I heard him go quiet. Sounded like he was having a nice, quiet Face/Palm to me.

He wasn't the only one, I'd wager.

I'm a relatively new listener (within the last 3 episodes). Now spending my days whilst looking at cells under my scope listening to all back episodes. I'm equally in love with all three of you'ns and wanted to wish you all a very Happy Anniversary with many happy returns. Consider me a groupie/Charioteerleader!

Cheers! *clink*

PS PZ was awesome.

It was the result of two very large martinis! :)

Your photos are amazing; as are your goggles. I think we should start a club called the Charioteerleaders!

Like the Mousketeers, only wearing goggles and knit beanies rather than mouse ears. =P

I'm in! Science goggles and beanies it is.

The goggles are from this creation.

And inspired by this little gem.

I'm in too. As long as I can wear a burkini too. And we could wave apologist tracts.

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 12 Comments

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…
