The Good Atheist

Holy shit, could it be true? Could we have finally released this sucker after weeks of putting it off? Not only did we do that, but we made Episode 100 something special, with almost 2 hours of content! We cover a huge range of topics; from copyright laws to the dangers of being open about your lack of faith, to why we lack professionalism, and what some of you have said about the show over the years. It’s a huge introspective episode, so if you’re a first time listener, save this one for later; you might be a little overwhelmed!

Go listen to the show right now, and if you like what we had to say, then think about using this historic moment as an excuse to become a patron of the site. With all the new additions that we’re going to be putting in the bonus show, we’re going to entice you so hard to become a member that you might as well cave in this minute, and become a patron! We only charge 20 bucks a year (although you can give more if you want to). That’s the equivalent of a cup of coffee every month. Surely we’re better at keeping you awake and doing you job more than that!

I want to thank everyone that has been a listener for the 3 years we’ve been doing this. I hope Episode 100 of the Bonus Show will be even more crazy. The future is bright people, and you can help make it even brighter. Below is a preview of one of the bits we included in the show. Enjoy!

This is just painful…

Have you ever looked up at the sky,
noticed all those glowing lights and wondered why?
Well friend, ponder no more,
Spaceology has the answers you’ve been looking for!

You can always count on religious scumbags to exploit the poor and sick, especially in countries like Kenya where an estimated 2 million people have AIDS. Yeah, you heard right: 2 fucking million people are slowly dying as their bodies are incapable of fighting of even the simplest infections. And with all those desperate family members who love them, it’s doubtful there isn’t a Kenyan out there that wouldn’t give anything for even the chance to heal their loved ones.

Here’s a handy venn diagram to help you identify between zombies, Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Son of God.

The New Zealand Atheist Bus Campaign people have evolved past bus signage and are now getting into the billboard bizniz. Here’s my favorite sign of the bunch, but I gotta admit they’re all the cat’s pajamas as far as I’m concerned!

This week, Jeff is back to help me talk about the “sin” of homosexuality, the arrogance of bible thumpers, and the annoyance of faith healing. It’s 45 minutes of bonus show goodness. Remember, this show if for patrons only, so if you love the podcast, think about becoming a member for 20 bucks a year! That’s less than 1.67 a month, and you’ll get access to the back catalog of shows. That’s over 30 hours of bonus material, and your contribution helps us to continue to entertain you. Don’t hesitate and become a patron today!

As you might be aware if you’re a fan of the podcast, TGA is about to celebrate show #100. Yes folks, we made it, and all it took was blood, sweat and eating cat food for a whole year (ok, so maybe it was just tuna)! With this historic number, I thought it might be interesting to get you guys to send us your opinions of our worst/best moments in the show. Was there anything super funny you couldn’t stop laughing at for days? Did I make a typical blunder that made you slightly uncomfortable, or cringe uncontrollably? Be sure to include as many comments as you can, and we’ll be sure to talk about them as well. The show is going to be up this weekend, so you have a few days to come up with something.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the Bonus Show with Jeff!

If you don’t like the violent rhetoric of modern day Christian, then you don’t know the Bible, baby! He hasn’t called you to debate. If this guy had his way, everyone would be equipped with breastplates and swords, fighting the unbelievers. If the Bible had been written today, would that be replaced with bulletproof vest and holy grenades? Hey, thanks for being uncompromisingly insane, Rod Parsley. You remind us all of the violent nature of religion.
