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?

Finally a bit of good news--
Richard Dawkins is Writing The God Delusion for Kids and People Are Already Mad
By Hemant Mehta
- Richard Dawkins said over the weekend that he’s working on two new books, both of which are essentially The God Delusion for a younger audience.
I’m actively working on 2 new books. Outgrowing God is Atheism for Teenagers. Second one (illustrated) is Atheism for Children. It still needs a title. Maybe OMG I think I’m an Atheist. Both will be seen by some as blasphemous. And as hate speech, simply for telling the truth.
— Richard Dawkins (@RichardDawkins) July 28, 2018
- While the titles may be in flux, the concepts are not. While it’s not surprising for the author of a book that sold millions of copies to milk that cow and write a children’s version, it makes particular sense for Dawkins to do it since he said, controversially, in The God Delusion that pushing a religious label on children is a form of mental child abuse.

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.

Cockeyed Pessimist Bert, it’s thin but neither side gets 100%.

In Mississippi and about 49 other states they outnumber us.
