Texas keeps threatening to secede from the union, and at this point you wouldn’t catch me trying to talk them out of it. The Texas Board of Education has just voted to remove Thomas Jefferson from the state history curriculum. Thomas. Fucking. Jefferson. Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on the way… Continue reading »

If someone wants to bother trying to explain the Holy Tri-Force to me–and they manage to convince me that three things can be three things and also be one thing at the same time–I’ll stop calling Catholics polytheists; until then they are out of luck. The saints and angels business doesn’t do much for your… Continue reading »

I am sick and high on cold medicine for this show, Richard is… well, Richard. We had a spot of technical difficulty, but we soldiered through it. I am still sick and high on cold medicine as I post this, so I am going to keep it short. Don’t forget to check out the new… Continue reading »

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… Continue reading »

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… Continue reading »

I have the Rev Dr. Mark Esq. IV (R-FLA) (known in some circles as the FIFTH RIDER OF THE ATHEIST APOCALYPSE) with me on the show this week. He is a very important man as can be demonstrated by the absurd number of titles I have appended to his name. While they may not all… Continue reading »

It’s the Atheist News Podcast with Me and “Bro-Ro” again this week. Did you know that Snoop Dogg was going to be fronting for his own brand of GPS? I didn’t. Richard really does have his finger on the pulse of America. Well, Christmas is coming, so inevitably, we talk about that a bit–as well… Continue reading »

After this week’s atheist news, I look forward to the day when I, Joe Prova, must come to you and say that religious people haven’t done enough loony shit in the last week to justify me bothering with a news podcast. Alas, that week is not this week. Brother Richard joins me so that I… Continue reading »

I am a filthy deceiver. A falsifier, a prevaricator, a misleader and also, a guy who is fond of the thesaurus. My computer really did die, but then, miraculously, it came back from the dead for no apparent reason. An atheist holiday miracle? Who’s to say. This week, Brother Richard joins me as we talk… Continue reading »

Brother Richard is back from fighting orphans in Afghanistan! This week in the Atheist News Podcast headlines: atheism gets you more action, it is decided that people need to quit knocking up twelve-year-old girls, 100 police vs. 10 sandwiches, we argue about God Bless America, films about scientists are too steamy for American audiences, the… Continue reading »

This week I have philosopher and Atheist News blogger Reality Apologist (AKA Jon Lawhead) riding shotgun. We talk a bit about the Atheist News Blog Project and, of course the news. This week: The French get tough on child rapists, Bill Donahue publicly perpetrates the largest instance of copyright infringement known to man, fundies make… Continue reading »

This week Hemant Mehta from the Friendly Atheist blog joins us to talk about his recent woes with the Illinois Family Institute. A woman named Laurie Higgins wants to let families know that they have an atheist blogger for a math teacher and Hemant was kind enough to come on the show and let us… Continue reading »
