So I did another debate, this time on morality.  Is morality objective or subjective?  I wasn't too impressed with how the debate went down, mostly because I didn't get to do all the talking.  If I HAD done most of the talking, this is what I would have said.

Plus your calls.  The awesomeness returns tonight

It's the Listener feed back episode!  Your calls, emails and voice mails!  This is the participation episode you've wanted forever!

Call in with even more awesomeness!!

There was a dude recently who challenged atheists to prove god does not exist.  To illustrate the flaw in this thinking, I'm reminded of an old debate blog I did years ago.  A far less charismatic person gave me the exact same challenge.  This brought about a new religion I made up that involved a dragon in my pants, and the Super Mega Awesome Dragon, later dubbed the SMAD.

Why is the demand to prove a negative stupid?  Why should extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence?  Why does no one believe I have a dragon in my pants when no one can prove I don't have a dragon?

Plus your calls.

The SMAD aprroves

I listen to lots of atheist podcasts.  Some are serious, many are funny.  What's the joke that is in every atheist podcast?  What's the line that is said so often, it is rarely repeated out loud?  What is the joke that leaves atheists in stitches, but most believers never get?

Tune in to find out!

Plus your calls.

Funny and awesome.  It will be legendary.

I interviewed Rozz well over a month ago.  But the editing has taken me this long to get it out.  This is why I do a live show. In any case, Rozz is an awesome guy.  He's the son of my best friend, and he's already found atheism.  We talk abotu some important stuff, but most of this is us just having fun.

Enjoy.

Last week, while I was frothing at the mouth mad about the SCOTUS ruling on the Hobby Lobby case, I made an error.  I'll correct that error first thing in this show.

When I was a believer, being wrong was the worst possible thing that could happen.  As an atheist, being wrong is something to be celebrated.  I'll spend the rest of the show talking about how this difference came for me, and why I think it is so important.  

Plus your calls.

More awesome than anyone should be able to handle!!

So this past week, the Hobby Lobby case brought shame and horror to every woman in America, thanks to 5 Catholic men on the SCOTUS.  I've decieded to rant on this disgusting topic of religious bigotry.

Call in and add to the awesomeness!!

There was some amazing news this week!!  Indiana, my home state, had finally legalized gay marriage!  A federal judge ruled that Indiana's ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, and did not order an immediate stay.  For about 48 hours, we had marriage equality in the state, then a stay was ordered late Friady evening.

We've talked about gay marraige before on the show, but let's talk again.  Why not?

Your calls will make this awesome!

On this Father's Day, let's talk about how God ranks as a father.  Let's talk about the parenting advice given in the bible.  Let's go over the difference between that the "good book" says, and how we actually live good lives.

Plus, your calls.

The awesomeness will be with us.

Ever hear a miracle story?  Ever have someone tell you that if it were not for the intervention of god, they would be dead?  Sure you have.

What is the atheist supposed to do with that story?  How do we talk to people who thank god for surviving?

Plus, your calls.

Need I say awesome sauce?
