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?

Thanks, Andrea. The article, assuming honesty everywhere along the line, seemed persuasive. Maybe only Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem blocks attempts to understand by folk who inexplicably arose in a universe unbounded in space and time.
Several years ago a lecturer at The Teaching Company tried to explain consciousness — too early IMO — and also IMO failed. Happily, the company refunded what I’d paid.

I've heard rumors from FFRF about attempting to create "Better News Clubs" to counter the after-hours crap which the GNCs have been pulling. Thus far, not a lot of substance.

Joan, your account of those women brought tears to my eyes. (Damned empathy, but I want to keep it.)
BTW, I’ve lost a few long posts so I now write / dictate them into word processer documents and when finished copy them to reply boxes.
