Reap — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 15:53:35 +0000

Rocko, a lawyer and atheist from Australia joins The Angry Atheist to talk about some of the parody videos he has created on Youtube. He also talks about Americans and their perception of the founding fathers and ‘in god we trust’ on our money. And a couple of guys do their best to talk about feminism without being too biased. Should there be more attention on how issues effect all people instead of just one gender? How much fighting is there about religion where Rocko lives? Listen and find out.

The Angry Atheist #125 w/ Mykeru

Reap — Mon, 27 May 2013 00:11:23 +0000

This time the guest is Mykeru from Mykerumedia

We talk about Freethought blogs, and the agenda they are pushing on the other skeptics and atheists on the internet. To be fair not all of the bloggers at freethought blogs are behaving in the same manner we talk about during this podcast but there is a common theme among the most popular blogs and it isn’t in the best interests of skeptics or atheists. For the counter to FTB/Skepchick/A+ you can go to the slymepit forum. For more about CFI,Ron Lindsaya and the WIS2 conference go here

You can find the picture we talked about during the podcast on Reapercussions

Thanks to AtheistsToday for hosting the blog

The Angry Atheist spends some time with Damion Reinhardt co-founder of the Oklahoma Atheists, co -host of the Oklahoma Atheists Godcast, and blogger at SkepticInk.com .

Damion talks about the success of his group in OK, why he thinks they are so popular and what problems come with that success.

Is there a difference between skepticism and atheism? Should one lead to the other? Damion talks about that and whether Santa Claus visits his kids.

Interaction on the net is tricky sometimes so we talk a bit about how that could be done a little better

Oklahoma certainly needs people like Damion. To see/hear more from him you can find his blog here

The Angry Atheist #122 w/ Carl Silverman

Reap — Tue, 07 May 2013 07:31:04 +0000

Carl Silverman from the Pennsylvania Nonbelievers is the guest this time. Carl doesn’t have typical opinions about some subjects, like the word marriage, and he shares some of those on this podcast.

Does the Pennsylvania government spend too much of it’s time talking about and debating religious issues and creating legislation about religion? Why is it most states can function without pointing out their tolerance of religions but Pennsylvania feels the need for a ‘year of the bible’ and other similar legislation? We get some background information about that. Carl has been involved in addressing religion in schools for years and has brought the subject into the the public spotlight.

The Angry Atheist talks with Lsuoma about his role at the slymepit forum and his opinions on some of the goings on. He also shares some of his life story as well. Lsuoma is very humble about his leadership of the slymepit forum. He has proved to be a fair and intelligent moderator unlike those found in some other forums.

The Angry Atheist #117 w/ Paul Elam

Reap — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:09:56 +0000

The Angry Atheist spends an hour with Paul Elam who runs a website called A Voice For Men. Paul is often accused of hate much like the way atheists are thought to be angry by default. There is no hate here and no anger. Since it is it is important to try and understand something before you hate it you are invited to listen and then form your own opinion. Paul talks about what the common belief is among most types of feminism and how some stats and data people take as proof of a problem may not be as it appears at first glance. Paul also talks about the problems we need to fix , but first we need to be mature enough to talk about those problems with as little bias as possible. It’s never good to make negative assumptions about anyone or anything and that’s why you should listen and then decide where you fall on the issues of men’s rights and feminism.You can find A Voice For Men here. The A Voice For Men radio show/podcast can be found here.
