Serious Inquiries Only

It's with a heavy heart that I have to launch on another Tommentary. Pretty much every time there's a horrible massacre, there are a number of things to react to. Here's an article I talked about toward the end that was very interesting: http://aeon.co/magazine/philosophy/people-do-violence-because-their-moral-codes-demand-it/

More discussion with Rondale. In part 2 we talk a bit more about being an atheist in the black community.

The post AS146: Ex-Mormon, Rondale Part 2 appeared first on Atheistically Speaking.

This week's guest is another ex-Mormon, but coming with yet another unique perspective. I'll give you a hint, he wouldn't have been allowed in the church before 1978.

Here's the second half with Elijiah T! I'm liking the response to this. Keep those comments coming.

Elijiah was a guest about a year ago, and now he's back for another round! This time, we're going to discuss what Elijiah alleges are bad arguments atheists make. It's a really cool discussion and I had a great time. 2 episodes, filled to the brim!

Continuing the discussion from Monday, Jake and I go on to react to the CNN Anderson Cooper interview with the organizer of the obnoxious event. Also, I read most of this really well written response to the event: To the Bikers Who Plan to Protest in Arizona

This week I have Jake on to discuss what is an actual case of Islamophobia. That is, the biker "protest" outside of an Arizona mosque where members wore t-shirts saying "F*** Islam" and carried weapons.

But not just any comments, really good comments! I go back over the Louis CK stuff from Monday in light of a few comments, and then I finally comment back at a comment on Christina Hoff Sommers.

It's a bit of a potpourri for today's episode! What did Louis CK's SNL monologue from the other week have to do with free will and determinism? Also, I saw Mad Max and felt the need to talk a bit about it and the intersection with feminism.

Continuing from Monday, we're finishing up Of Miracles by Hume. It's quite an important piece in skeptic history, and seeks to provide an argument against miracle testimony of many kinds.
