Back and better than ever, today’s Good Atheist podcast talks about how Congress has a bit too much time on their hands, and why you shouldn’t name your teddy bear Muhammad, especially in Sudan!
*Note* As one listener pointed out, Sudan is indeed in Africa. I’d like to apologize for my poor geography, but no one is an expert in everything!
This week, my special guest Jeff and I will discuss ‘The Rapture’, the Christian belief in the events surrounding the supposed return of their messiah. We’ll also try and answer the question: does religion make you more violent?
This week, we are featuring a new guest host, Jeffrey Jones. Jeff is a longtime fan of the show, and he wanted to come on to tell us a little bit about his own experiences with religion, as well as talk about Hell Houses.
This week, Ryan and I decided to have a little fun by talking about some of the lighter side of news. Muslim doctors who refuse to treat female patients, Vatican priests getting caught making sexual advances at young men, and our favorite, an Alabama minister caught in a scandal you won’t believe.
This episode, we talk about the renewed sensitivity of the very religious. Are atheists and other secularists on the attack, or are they simply puffing smoke whenever someone doesn’t share their worldview?
Just how did Darren Brown manage to convert all of those atheists with simply a touch? If you were a gambler, and you had to place your bets on either the existence of God, or on his non-existence, which would be the better bet? This week, we try to answer these fascinating questions, as well as comment on the state of music these days!
This week, my guest is Tom, filling in after the mysterious disappearance of Ryan. We’ll be talking about the ‘lost’ continent of Atlantis, as well as hear some great stories from my traveling friend, as he recounts his experiences around the world!
Does it take as much faith to believe in evolution as in the Bible? This week, my co-host Ryan Harkness and I will discuss a rather interesting correspondence I’ve had with my Christian counterpart. Also, we’ll be talking a little bit about a New Age group that believes staring directly at the Sun is healthy for them. Just where do they come up with this stuff?
In this episode, my host Ryan Harkness and I will discuss the movie The Secret in detail. We also talk about how a princess in the Netherlands thinks she can talk to angels.
Heaven is on everyone’s mind these days! Can’t say I blame people. It’s a bit of a confusing idea, so my trusty sidekick Ryan and I have a little thought experiment concerning the after life of Christians. Also this week, we talk in depth about creationist movies and ‘documentaries’, and their impact on modern society.
After the long holiday week, The Good Atheist podcast is back. This week, we reflect on the meaning of July 4th, talk a little about people praying for rain in Australia, and about Chinese people eating dinosaur bones for medicinal purposes.
In this week’s podcast, we talk about the strange video that’s been circulating for a few weeks, as well as respond to all the comments my article, “Is Atheism a Religion” generated.
