The Atheist in the Trailer Park

Since I've already recording the next episode, and today's ruling by SCOTUS is pretty freaking huge, I figured I'd put out this short bit, which features the butthurt reaction of certain Christian conservatives to SCOTUS dragging the US into the 21st Century.  I'll have a regular episode up on Sunday, which is my reading from TW Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions.

Show notes can be found here.   In this episode I rant about the latest mass killing in America, then I move on to happier subjects like dog mummies, bishop mummies, 3D printed plane parts, volcanoes on other planets, and more.

Apologies for the rough edit, but I was a bit pressed for time.  In this episode I read from chapter 30 of Doane's Bible Myths which talks about the origins of the eucharist (spoiler alert, it pre-dates Jebus by at least 100 years, and probably stems from the time when agricultural societies first began making bread and beer).  No show notes this week, as there really wasn't anything to look up an...

Show notes can be found here.   A slight correction to something I said on the podcast the number of passengers who died on the MS St. Louis was at least 30  percent.  In this episode I cover most of Malala's attackers being freed, Muck Huckabee distances himself from the Duggars, Pluto's moons are pretty funky, a newly discovered dinosaur is nicknamed "Hellboy," Ken Ham attacks NASA astronaut Joh...

Once again, I'm joined by the loverly Heretic Woman from  the Beyond the Trailer Park Podcast  as we finish up chapter 29 of TW Doane's "Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions."  Jesus gets his ass whupped, BTW.

Show notes can be found here.   In this episode some of the news stories I cover are: Group wants to kill Iraqi refugees by sending them Bibles, South African preacher demonstrates the power of God by jumping on people, a third atheist blogger has been killed in Bangladesh, Ireland becomes the first country to legalize gay marriage by popular vote, blind mother "sees" an ultrasound of her baby, th...

Finally!  Its part one of chapter 29 from Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions by TW Doane.  Heretic Woman from the Beyond the Trailer Park Podcast and I overcame numerous obstacles to record this episode, and I hope you enjoy it.  The audio's a bit wonky in spots, but its much better than our first and second attempts at recording the episode.  I apologize for the fact that there's...

A short episode this week as it turned out I wasn't able to edit the audio of Heretic Woman and I reading from Bible Myths.  It took me about half an hour to edit 5 minutes worth of audio, so she's graciously agreed to rerecord the episode later on this week with me.  I wasn't able to spend the time I'd planned on gathering stories to make a news episode, as it took my brother and I longer than I...

Apologies for some of the weird edits you can hear in the episode, but Fuzznuts managed to hit the "pause" button a few times when I was recording, so while I went back and fixed things, there's some strange variations in sound quality because of it. This episode is a bit of rambling one, since I had to put in a lot of overtime at work this week, but I talk about an anti-science Christian preacher...

These are my thoughts about my recent trip to ReasonCon 2015 (which I was able to do thanks to the guys from the Unbuckling the Bible Belt podcast).  My apologies if I met you and didn't mention your name.  I met so many great folks that its impossible for me to remember all of you.   Check out the show notes for links, pics and videos of the event.   I had an absolutely awesome time, and I hope t...

I had planned to do a "deep dive" into a single topic this episode, but as you can hear from my voice, talking is difficult for me.  As you're hearing this, I should be on the road back from ReasonCon.  I'll have a real episode up later in the week, content to be determined by my voice and what happens at ReasonCon.  Shopw notes are at tparkatheist.blogspot.com

Forgive me folks, but as you can hear in the podcast, I'm not feeling very well.  I hope I got the podcast edited to a point where its tolerable to listen to.  I cover a bunch of news stories related to things like 3D printing, Pat Robertson uncertain of what decade he's supposed to worship, spear weilding chimps and more.

This episode has my review of the new HBO documentary "Going Clear."  Spoiler alert!  I liked it, but wish they had covered some things in greater detail than what they did.  You will absolutely  want to check out the show notes, as I link to things not covered in the documentary.

Let's get ready to ruuuuuummmmbllllleeeee!  In this episode, TW Doane pits Jesus H. Christ up against the Hindu god Krishna to see who ripped off whom!  Can Jesus beat Krishna?  Should Jesus have given Krishna that 500 year head start?  Its a titanic struggle, with mortal souls in the balance!  Who will win?  Jesus?  Krishna?  Or will some other god sneak in and kill them both?  Tune in and find o...

Apologies for the delay, but last week was a bit hectic for me as I explain in the opener.  Some of the news stories I cover are: Indiana's for Dickheads, Tunisians protest jihadist attacks,  Antarctica is having a heatwave, inching closer to cloned mammoths, and more.  Show notes will be up some time later today.

Its a long one!  I finish up chapter 28 of Doane's Bible Myths in this episode.  My apologies for taking so long to get the episode out, but as I explain in the beginning of the podcast, its been a busy couple of weeks for me.  I believe I've gotten everything sorted out so that there won't be this kind of delay again any time soon.

I don't know what happened.  I had an episode recorded and when I went to edit it, the file was corrupted. I had problems transferring it over from my phone to the PC, so that might be what the problem was.  I will have a new episode posted no later than Sunday evening.  I'm sorry about this.

If you're hearing this, Professor Fuzznuts, Jr. has killed me before I had the chance to kill him.  I ask you to find the fuzzball and kill him!  Seriously, though, I ran into some unanticipated problems thanks to finding myself trapped on a bus for two hours twice this week.

Hi folks, this is just a quick notice to let you know that the episode's going to be a little late this week, due to some technical issues.  Nothing serious, but I wasn't able to get them solved in time to be able to put the episode out on the weekend as I usually like to do.  I should have the issues solved by tomorrow, and with luck, will have a full episode out by no later than Wednesday evenin...

The first two minutes are the audio from Spock's funeral in TWoK, so you might want to skip that.  Show notes can be found  here.   This episode is chapters 25-28 of Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions.

Show notes will be up tomorrow evening, as its way past my bed time.   Stories covered in this episode include (but are not limited to): Building houses in Pakistan 65% of Africa's ariable land is worthless Did Dark Matter Kill the Dinos? Singapore prints cars Alabama Supreme Court Judge is a racist and a bigot Penis stones found in Israel You're better off in Ancient Egypt, than you are working a...

The updated show notes for the episode can be found  here.   I posted them last night, then as I was editing the podcast, realized I needed to add some more information, so if you looked at them before you downloaded this podcast, you'll probably want to check them again. This episode I read from Chapter 24 of TW Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in other religions, which talks about the Sec...

Stories covered in this week's episode include: Depak Chopra and Tony Robbins think that AIDS is a state of mind Iceland builds a temple to Norse gods Mormon nutters commit suicide for fear of the Apocalypse One of Fox's idiots claims no one's ever died in the name of Christianity Ken Ham butthurt over Carnival cruise line ad Human remains found near areas inhabited by Neanderthals in Israel Chris...

A slightly shorter episode this week.   Show notes for this episode can be found here.   This episode mainly deals with the appearance of Jesus before his disciples after the resurrection, and probable sources for these stories.  Thanks for listening.

Its a really big one this week. Topics covered include Pope challenged to UFC fight, new 'documentary' features Mike Huckabee (and no brown people), MN archdiocese files bankruptcy, Tea Party idol cheats on her husband at a "family values" conference, Texans upset about peaceful Muslims, Orthodox Jews remove women from photos, British paper responds by removing men from photos, Salvadoran woman be...
