Episode 023: Haiti, Haiti, Haiti HEY!

Posted by moJoe On January - 27 - 2010

This is pretty-much the “Haiti Show.” When disaster strikes, so–apparently–do the disingenuous and the mentally unsound.
We talk a lot about the atheist “identity” and toss around some ideas and opinions about the place where charity and the nebulous identity of atheism meet. Not that we actually reach any conclusions, mind you.

And hey, I promised on this show that I’d paste in a link to the official form for complaining to the IRS about the abuse of tax exempt status. Well, here it is!

Atheist News this week: You can’t eat bibles, Pat Robertson drools on himself incoherently, Stayin’ Alive: Scientology style, Canada knows how to deal with naughty churches, Veil or Vote and finally, someone notices that electrostatic magnetic ion attraction technology doesn’t work.

If you want to give money to help Haiti, you could do worse than checking out what Richard Dawkins has set up:

Episode 022: Poopzilla

Posted by moJoe On January - 14 - 2010

Richard is back from the “Heads VI” meeting and we talk a bit about what went on during this pow-wow of the high muckity-mucks of atheism. We didn’t have a whole lot of time to spend on it during the show, but I promise we’ll get Richard either on the Chariots of Iron podcast or on a special “extra” edition of the Atheist News Podcast to talk more about the meeting.

As an extra-special treat during our closing credits, ALROmega agreed to let us turn you out with a cheeky little track he just dropped called “Original Front Hug.” [NSFW] which includes a shout out to Atheist News! BAM.

And probably not something you want to let your kids listen to, but if they are already listening to the damn show I don’t suppose that they have much of their innocence left to tear away from them… so uh…

Atheist News this week: Irish posse isn’t going to take this shit lying down, Jesus battles the living dead, Bloomberg finally starts pandering to us, the BHA also isn’t going to take this shit lying down, tickets to heaven, I am tired of Uganda, crazy prophet should have seen this coming and DON’T GO TO DUBAI. SERIOUSLY, DON’T.
