The future of the Chariots of Iron

We've been getting a lot of email from concerned listeners, so I thought I'd pop in here give everyone a quick update:

We haven't put out a show in the last few months for two reasons. The first reason is that the last four shows that we recorded had sound issues that made them completely unusable. Yes, that does mean that there are four unnamed episodes that will not be released to the public (much like Episode 13). The second reason is that Eli and I are both experiencing some things in our personal lives that make the production of this podcast very difficult.

We are considering calling it quits, but before we do we will release a final episode and I have already talked to Joe about coming back and doing a Chariots of Iron finale with Eli and myself. I will not discuss any more details here or by email, but all will be revealed in our next (and possibly final) episode.

I was a late comer to the podcast, as well as to this group and the Nexus.  I am really concerned that you aren't going to continue the program, which I have always to considered my favorite.  I have a total of 30 podcasts that I listen to, and I am really missing your program, which take a lighter approach to facts considering religion, or a lack thereof.  Please reconsider continuing this podcast, for it will leave a void in the ether if it is not.  Irreligiosophy was another that I favored, and it has ceased.  I'd hate to keep losing programs like these.

If we fans can do anything to assist you efforts, please do let us know in your next podcast.

This suuuuucks.

Can understand not having the time to do it, but man, I'll be damned if I don't still try to update the show on iTunes everyday.  You guys have a unique voice and are (or were?) truly doing the FSM's work.

Can't you just be like Gingrich and 'suspend your campaign'? I guess I'm the type of guy who doesnt mind being pulled along.

In any case, best of luck and good health to the both of you and your families.

Thanks.

Oh No...I'm sorry to hear you are calling your podcast quits. It's funny and informative; please rethink your decision. We need you! Even if the interval between shows is longer, we'd (at least I would) be willing to listen as long as you don't say farewell. Am I clear?!?

Many thanks, Meridien

Sad to hear you go, but life has a way of having things come up. Seems to be something that is happening more and more to the good Atheist and skeptic podcast. 

Well it was fun and you guy where great, keep safe, never know who is under the bed, oh wait its just the dog. :-)

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 9 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…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

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…
