Atheist Roundtable

Every once in a while, someone will ask me what would convince me that god exists.  I guess I nomally respond, "I don't know", and while that's true, I sometimes think I should have a more in depth answer.  This is my long answer.

My New Year's resolution is to get back to a regular schedule in podcasting.  Let's have lots of awesome in 2018!

I get to talk to Criag Wells, the author of The Blasphemous Bible.  The book isn't even out yet, and I got to interview him!!  I don't think I've ever had a more enjoyable interview than this one.  Craig is just such an awesome guy.  I can't imagine anyone I would rather have write a satirical version of the bible than Craig!  

I love Craig's sense of humor.  His wit and style make me salivate at the idea of getting his book.  Join me in getting to know the guy who is going to put your most treasured book in your hands... one day.

Awesomesauce!!

I've had a few conversations with people who disagree with me.  Believers, anti-vaxers, etc.  I've even had arguments with other atheists on things like last week's topic.  Often, it's easy to allow these conversations to become nothing but shouting contests, but does that really help?

I'm beginning to think about tactics.  I still think there is a place for loud, adversarial arguments, but does every disagreement need to escalate to this?  I think we might make more headway with a different strategy.

So let's talk strategy.  When do we chose diplomacy over diatribe?  

The awesome is strong in all who listen.

I think the question, "Does god exist?" isn an answerable question.  Thus, I'm a gnostic atheist.  Yes, I'm taking some license with the term "gnostic", but I think this is acceptable.  

What are your thoughts on being a gnostic atheist?  Do you think you could defend such a position?

I'm making a comeback, and I'm doing it NOW!

Join me and help create the awesomesauce!!

So sorry for the technical difficulties last week.  I think I've got it now. 

 

This is what freethought freestyle should have been.

Kelsey and William join me again for another round at the Roundtable.  We didn't have a topic, but we sure covered a lot of ground.  From atheism vs agnosticism to cults vs. religions, we tackle it all, without a script to hold us back!

Enjoy.

This week, William joins me again.  This time, we talk about the commandments in the bible.  We talk about the commandments we like, and the ones we'd like to have seen in the bible, but are sadly missing.

It's a fun conversation about one of the best known portions of the good book, that isn't all that good.

This is part 2 of my interview with Gleb Tsipursky.  Thank you to Gleb for sharing his insights into why post-truth politics is here, and what we can do about it.  Please don't let this interview end without you going to the pro-truth pledge and signing up.  We need your support!!

I get to talk to the one and only Gleb Tspursky, who is on a mission to make things better in a post-truth world.  We talk about what post truth is, how it works and what we can do about it.

Gleb is amazing.  His passion is unequalled and his knowledge is unsurpassed.  I just loved this interview so much, it hurt to have to chop it into parts.

Part 2 will air Tuesday at 11:00pm.

My friends Kelsey and William talk about those first things believers say to us, and how we respond.  It was a great time, even though the internet was not cooperating with us.

The awesome is so awesome.
