MORE AT ATHEISTNATION.NETHey millionaires, stop competing against us broke-asses in the podcasting world! Seth has 100 million dollars in his bank account, and now he's breaking into my racket! Ok, I'm being melodramatic. This is great. ...

Just a heads up that in the next few days, I'll be launching the new site, which will allow patrons access to the other show, as well as some fun exclusive material down the road. Naturally I'm not a technical expert, so you'll have to bear with me while I iron out the bugs. If you have any suggestions, now would be the time to post them. I'm always willing to listen to good ideas! ...

Every time I hear about a girl getting killed by her own family, it sends a chill down my spine. It seems inconceivable that anyone would put their loved ones in danger, and even more so that they would be their killers. Such is the reality of conservative Muslims in Jordan, where an average of 20 women a year are slain in 'honor killings'. This week, it's a 19 year old girl who was beaten to death by her f ...

I often say the Catholic Church is dangerously out of touch with reality. How could they not be; here is an institution that still clings to most of its doctrinal roots dating back fourteen centuries. They are now stuck with one of the worst Popes in recent history, who seems so isolated from reality he can't even be bothered to notice what everyone is saying about him. The biggest threat they face are the ...

I could forgive the United States for their hubris in thinking they are the most powerful country in the world. In terms of military might, this I have no doubt. But to turn around and spit in our faces after almost 200 Canadian soldiers have given up their lives trying to clean up the mess they started in Afghanistan is too much to bear. Look closely at your own behavior. See how you alienate those who wou ...

I received an invite on Facebook to join Atheist Pride Day, which is just another version of the 'Out Campaign' for atheism, and it includes the big scarlet 'A' that Richard Dawkins has popularized. I'm fine with the idea of showing pride in atheism, but I'm not really down with how this particular campaign is being handled. I guess I hate the idea of an image or symbol. From a design point of view, I find ...

It's funny how little TV time atheists actually get. You would think we made bad guests or something. Nightline is having a debate on the existence of Satan, and the only people engaged in this discussion are ones who have no real understanding of the natural world. The 'No' side has Deepak Chopra, the New Age moron who thinks nature had to be intelligently designed because of its complexity. Also on the No ...

I'm still trying a few different things for the bonus radio show, and I thought it might be a good idea if I made them a little more involved and personal. That's why for tonight's podcast, I'm asking you guys to suggest topics you would like Ryan and me to discuss. I figure this way, the patrons of the show will be able to play a much bigger role in dictating the pace and subjects you would like to hear ou ...

Here's a little article courtesy of Boing Boing about the hysteria over 'penis thieves' in Africa. If you've never heard about it, it's the modern equivalent of a witch hunt. It usually starts when panic is stirred up when baseless accusations are launched at undesirables. The whole thing usually ends up with a few deaths caused by an angry and frightened mob. It's an old superstition dating back to ancient ...

I can't tell you how many times I'm 'accused' by a person of faith that my label of atheism somehow implies I must have faith in the idea to the same degree they do. I want to try and clear the air here, and explain why my belief in the non-existence of God is not a position of faith, but is simply the most rational interpretation of the available evidence. Historically, I can admit atheism is fairly new to ...
