I've listened to "an american atheist" and "ask an atheist". Thumbs up for both. "An American Atheist" talked about population, and the movie "idiocracy". They also spoke to michael newdow. "Ask an…

I think most are good. I mainly listen to atheist experience, ffrf, and ask an atheist (i think that's the name). I have to play devil's advocate here:) I tried listening to the oklahoma atheists godcast, and i didn't like it. I think…

Yes, he's an atheist, but apathetic to atheism. He just doesn't want to be expected to join any "Atheist Club". He's the libertarian atheist sort, kind of like Penn Jillette.

Thanks for starting the thread, saw a few I hadn't heard of and will be adding them to my lineup. I listen to podcasts about ten hours a day so its hard to keep my content fresh. My current favorite is Robert M. Price's Show…

You're absolutely right, Jeremy. To paraphrase Sam Harris. If someone is talking to a hairdryer and claiming they are speaking to god through it, and god is answering them through this device, they're off to a mental hospital. Take away…

Essentially, what we are seeing in American politics are people who would be committed as delusional psychopaths if they were having a two way conversation with any other imaginary figure besides "god", running for office. Awesome.

Politicians Pandering: "God calling on me to run" Where are they now?

This must be that "trikster god" I keep hearing about:Herman Cain:"I prayed and prayed and prayed," Cain told about 100 members of the Georgia Young Republicans in Atlanta on Saturday. "I'm a man of faith, I had to do a lot of praying for this one, more praying than I'd ever done before…See More

Loren Miller replied to TheOperative's discussion 'Gawd Hates Believers'

The whole god-vs.-believers trip reminds me of a S/M relationship gone horribly wrong. It's rather reminiscent of a joke which did the rounds in the "scene" community years ago and may have escaped into the general world: A…

My cousin lives in Houston. She's always putting on Facebook how she's praying for rain. If it's gawds will to burn Texas down, why is she praying to change his mind? Does she think her gawd doesn't know what…

As of September 16, 2011, the average cumulative rainfall since April 01, 2011 is:6.26 inches(source: http://330m.wordpress.com/rick-perry-rainman/)Gawd must hate believers That has to be the reason that, after repeated attempts to get their gawd’s attention, Rick Perry's Texas is still suffering.

As a Christian

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 7:10am 1 Comment 0 Likes

Xtians, Jews, Muslims (and I imagine other world religions) use speech that immediately casts a wedge between their religion and all other people (not just other religions). They casually throw out the phrase "As a Christian":

As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. ...And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian…

Nigerian 419 scam – Mrs. Victory Komana

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 5:07am 0 Comments 0 Likes

I recently received a 419 scam email from Mrs. Victory Komana.

419 emails, or "Nigerian scam" emails are social engineering scam email messages, designed to separate the recipient from their money by relaying a massage of sorrow, as is in this one, or surprise for your good fortune, as in "You have just won 150 Million African Krugerrand". The payoff -… Continue

After taking in the latest movie from Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, my feelings are mixed. I feel that I should like the movie more, especially with its strong anti-theology slant (actually, only anti-Abrahamic religions slant), but I just don’t feel that it lives up to what the duo accomplished in “…
