Atheist News Podcast Project

Hey 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

" religion is ever in violation of Occam's razor."

Comment by Bertold Brautigan on September 2, 2016 at 5:20pm: As my old college bud says, religion is ever in violation of Occam's razor.

Comment by Joseph P on September 2, 2016 at 5:13pm: There's always the failure to connect the dots, in this and other religious thinking. They boggle over how to reconcile what they "know" about their god with what their god is doing (through what is happening around them, in nature and in the behavior of other people).

And this foundational contradiction in your model of reality tells you ... what about your worldview ... ?

No, goddammit. It does NOT mean that your god works in mysterious ways.

Comment by Idaho Spud on September 2, 2016 at 12:56pm: "The devastation on our whole church is unreal,” Rev. Nelson Confer told WTAE. “But we serve a good God.”

Yes, just as unreal as your god.

Doesn't he realize he's contradicting himself?

Comment by Joan Denoo on September 1, 2016 at 9:04pm: This is perfect! Or, they prayed to the wrong god.

Comment by The Flying Atheist on September 1, 2016 at 7:02pm: And since the Church Insurance Company's mission is to insure churches, the damaged church can't claim religious discrimination. There goes their whole playbook.
