The Atheist in the Trailer Park

Listen and ye shall understand.

No show notes this week.  This episode is basically a rundown of how sun gods were created, and that the Virgin Mother is a representation of the night.  This is part 1 of the chapter 39 Explanation of Bible Myths.  There will be at least one more part to this chapter, probably more.  Its loooooong and dense.

Show notes are here:  http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2016/01/episode-0084-snowpacalypse-2-inclement.html   In this episode I talk about why Trump is so popular amongst many Republicans (hint: Its because he likes to schlong people.), a possible ninth planet, TN crazies, 3D printed cars, trilobites, and much, more.

Show notes are here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2016/01/episode-0083-early-church-just-made-it_17.html In this chapter, Doane cites a number of pieces of information which indicate that the authors of the Gospels had no idea what they were talking about.  Including such things as getting the geography wrong and the like.

Show notes are here:  http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2016/01/bonus-episode-my-conversation-with.html   Ishmael and I talk about a number of different things from Tamir Rice to 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' and much more.

Show notes can be found  here.   This episode features my interview with America from  the Godless Drinking Hour Podcast .  We talk about guns, Tamir Rice, the Christian terrorists in Oregon, and Star Trek.  There will be a bonus episode later this week featuring my interview with Ishmael Brown from  the Angry Black Rant podcast .

Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2016/01/episode-81-its-all-indias-fault.html   This is absolutely one confusing chapter from Bible Myths.  Doane starts talking about possible Indian origins for religion, and then we get into the age of the various books of the New Testament.  Which is when it gets confusing.  Doane's dating for when the books were written is out of...

Click here for show notes   In this episode I rant about being poor, Franklin Graham quitting the GOP, Aussies being upset over a black Jebus, slave labor by followers of Warren Jeffs, and more.  This episode also has a bonus rant about which religion we should be the most worried about.  (Spoiler alert, I don't really know, but I have some guesses.)

Show notes are here:  http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/12/episode-79-torture-ancient-christian_20.html   This episode wraps up the chapter in  Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions  by TW Doane on how Christianity prospered.  Spoiler alert!  They tortured people and did other things to ensure the survival of the religion. I don't completely agree with everything Doane says in thi...

Show notes will be up tomorrow.  ***Trigger warning***  This episode includes discussion about abortion that might be upsetting to some.  I was uncomfortable reading the story, so be warned.  Topics covered in this episode include Jerry Falwell, Jr. calling students to arm themselves, engineer develops a kit to teach kids about science and possibly discover new antibiotics, town votes down solar f...

Show notes can be found here: http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/12/episode-0077-men-without-heads.html   This episode is part two of the chapter "Why Christianity Prospered" from   Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions   by TW Doane.  In this chapter we learn about a Buddhist prophecy from 600 BCE which could be used to predict the birth of Jebus, as well as the birth of Joseph Sm...

Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/11/episode-76-shelley-segal-is-still.html This is part two of my interview with singer/songwriter Shelley Segal.  Its a bit shorter than usual because once I get this thing posted, I have to tear this PC down and rebuild it.  Wish me luck.  Any way, it was a great to be able to interview Shelley, and in this half we talk more ab...

Show notes are here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/11/episode-75-was-jesus-buddhist-gigolo.html This episode Doane attempts to answer why was Christianity able to prosper.  This episode is part 1 of the chapter from Bible Myths, and I don't have an answer for the question in the title.  I also talk about being able to see Neil deGrasse-Tyson speak in Nashville this past week.  (It was aw...

Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/11/episode-0074-shelley-segal-is-cooler.html This episode is part one of my interview with singer/song writer Shelley Segal.  I had hoped to just make the entire episode my interview with her, but with the recent events in Paris, I felt that I had to address those, as well as a few other things, and that meant I had to split thi...

Finally!  The end of the chapter!  Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/11/episode-73-christianity-rips-off.html   Doane wraps this up by quoting from some ancient Indian texts which pre-date the Old Testament, but say nearly identical things to both the Old and the New Testaments.  The chapter finishes up at about the 30 minute mark, so I spend the rest of the epi...

Show notes will be up tomorrow night.  Topics covered in this week's episode: Scientology loses its tax exempt status in the Netherlands How do you bury interfaith couples? A secular Bangladeshi publisher murdered, and 3 others severely injured in hate crime attack. A live exorcism was performed on TV. Ken Ham thinks we should all be naked. A dead comet passes close to the Earth DIY 3D food printe...

Thanks to me borking my PC and Nimrod deciding to come home earlier than expected, this week's episode is going to be a little late.

Click here for show notes for this episode.   This episode is part 3 of the chapter on Pagan influences on Christianity from TW Doane's  Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions .   Part 1 can be found here.    Part 2 can be found here.   This section of the chapter covers early Church fathers admitting that Christianity has borrowed from Paganism.  There is one more part left in this ch...

Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/10/special-wheezing-episode.html I am still too sick to record an episode, so I've merged two episodes of my other podcast together.  I should be well enough by next week to be able to record a new episode by then.

Just a bit of heads up that there might not be an episode this week due it being so difficult for me to breathe at the moment.

Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/10/episode-0070-more-mass-shootings.html   This episode is a little heavy on the politics, but the story about the orgasmic mushrooms and kids getting prosthetics that are as cool as anything you've seen in a movie are worth a listen.

Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/10/episode-0069-christianity-rips-off.html A bit shorter than usual, but even if I went for a full hour on the subject, we'd have at least one or two more episodes to go before I finished this chapter.

Show notes can be found here:   http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/09/episode-0068-blood-moon-survivors.html   Topics covered include: the Dalai Lama discusses his replacement, Scalia skips Papal address to Congress, Fox commentator calls the Pope a "false prophet," defectors complain that ISIS is "corrupt," breakthrough in quantum communication, the birth of the Borg in Washington state, two n...

Show notes can be found here: http://tparkatheist.blogspot.com/2015/09/episode-67-christianity-rips-off.html  This is a dense episode, and Doane goes from a comparison of religious beliefs to discussing which day should be considered the Sabbath by Christians.  I've done what I can to make it easier to listen to, but we're probably in for two more episodes dedicated to this chapter.

Show notes are here.   Apologies for some of the weird noises in the background, but Fuzznuts found something particularly interesting outside the window and kept pawing frantically trying to get at it.  This is a jam packed news episode with stories on NuJudaism, crane accident leaves 100+ dead in Mecca, more butthurt from Ken Ham, Stone Age cooking tips, possible burial place for one of Jesus' d...
