Interesting quote. I knew he was an atheist, but I've never actually read Asimov's words on the subject. I guess that in that time period, things like that weren't a subject of mainstream media.
I worked my way through the entire Chariots of Iron archive, myself. Even the news coverage is still pretty topical. I downloaded the .mp3 versions and listened to them on my smart phone while driving around for work. Alas, they've been having real-life issues lately, and haven't been regular for a while.
Non Prophets Radio is more or less regular, at least. That's another atheist podcast, done by the Atheist Community of Austin. They've got an archive going back to July 2005. It's something like 140 episodes.
Hi Maire, and welcome to this wonderful world of rationality, truth and peace.
Unbiased common sense, helped by science, leads to happy freethinking wisdom as you know.
We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 650 discussion topics and 3200 members.
"Yes, not everyone thanks a deity for their survival and nobody should thank their god for a vicious tornado that wiped out so much of what people owned and even took lives, especially the lives of innocent children.

"Tony, I love that clip! "Wolf Gets Blitzed"...tee-hee.
Did anyone read the comments below the You Tube version? they were almost all like, "Yeah, thank the lard for sending a ghastly tornado to kill more than 50…"
"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
"And then, just to confuse things, there's polymath, which is from the Greek poly = much and manthanein = to learn. So, someone who knows a lot. Or at least enough to know that you can get a second crop from that field! Sorry, couldn't…"

Oh wow. Yeah, that's something like 10 episodes right there, one way, not counting layovers. Good time to load up lots of entertainment.
Heh, funny. I'm from Wheeling, originally.
