The Atheist in the Trailer Park

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...

I screwed up the numbering on the last episode, and  this  episode is really number 34, not the last one.  Anyway, in this episode, I read part of the Chapter XXIII Jesus, the Resurrection and Ascention into Heaven from Doane's Bible Myths.  Its a bit longer than usual, and I didn't even get the whole chapter completed, so you'll just have to be in suspenders until the next time I read from Bible...

I want to thank everyone for their expressions of sympathy after the passing of my uncle.  It really helped hearing from all of you during such a difficult time.  I'm a bit bitchier than usual in this news episode, so consider yourselves warned. Some of the stories I cover include things like gun nuts, terrorism, IFLS getting a case of the stoopids, along with Discovery News having a similar case...

Just a brief message to let you know that because I've had a death in the family there will be no episode this week.  Next week's episode might be delayed, depending upon if I'm able to go home for the funeral.

Two chapters from Doane this week.  Chapter 21 on the Darknes at the Crucifixtion, and Chapter 22 on Jebus' Descent into Hell.  With added bonus of hearing me froth at the mouth over a religion which condemns even its most ardent followers to damnation because reasons.

Show notes can be found here. In this episode, I discuss the book "The Auschwitz Volunteer" by Witold Pilecki, which cronicles his attempt to take control of the camp at Auschwitz during WWII. The news stories I cover include Israel arrest Jewish extremist group, Thailand under attack by jihadists (who also like the bars and prostitutes), massive ancient Egyptian burial site discovered, astronauts...

Its a long one.  Sorry about that.   You can find the show notes for this episode here.   I think from now on, I'm just going to do a hard out at 1 hour of recording time, because its really tiring for me to record and then edit such a long episode.  It took me a couple of hours just to edit this thing down, whereas if I cut it off at the hour mark, it only takes about 2 hours to edit the podcast....

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted, but Professor Fuzznuts insisted on "helping" with this episode by sitting on the keyboard every time I tried to work on it.  Some of the news stories I cover are a Kenyan school using sewage to provide gas for cooking, the New Horizons probe wakes up, American preacher charged with crimes against humanity and more.  I'll have complete shownotes and links...

Sorry for the delay in getting this posted, I had a busy weekend, so I wasn't able to record at my usual time, and this threw me off.  I would like to give a big thanks to Tom and Cecil over at the Cognitive Dissonance podcast for playing my voicemail.     This episode covers chapter 19 of TW Doane's Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions, which deals with the significance of the numbe...

In this episode we cover a bicycle powered centrifuge to help medical personnel in developing nations, a composting toilet built out of scrap lumber, a rammed earth school, talking books, followed by more discoveries at that mysterious Grecian tomb, a 3D printed car, the 3D printer on the ISS, Catholic bishops warn against getting vaccinated, and more.  I'll have the full show notes up tomorrow ev...

Here's the episode I promised, with not one, but TWO chapters from Doane's book.  Editing's a little rough on this one.  I'm a bit tired, but I wanted to get this up now, since I'd promised to post it on Sunday, and didn't get to it until now.  I'm dogged tired, so I'll get the show notes up tomorrow.

This episode features my interview with Dr. Robert M. Price of  the Bible Geek Podcast  and the  Human Bible Podcast.   The audio quality isn't the best as we had to do the interview over the phone, but its not so bad that its hard to listen to.  Its a bit longer than the usual episode, but well worth a listen.  I'd like to thank Dr. Price again, for taking time out his schedule to do the intervie...

At long last, another news episode!  Topics covered in this week's episode include: Fun with voting!  (Or not.) Tibetan monks build artificial glacier Ethiopia poised to lead green revolution Saudi Arabia STILL denies women the right to drive ISIS releases a cookbook Followers of John the Baptist flee genocide in Iraq 3D Printed laptop reaches funding goal Compact, portable 3D printer in developme...

Yup.  Still no internet.  AT&T is supposed to come out and hook up a connection on Tuesday, since Comcast can't be bothered to fix my problem.  We'll see how it goes.  Any way, this episode has me complaining about the local politics of the area.  At the end of the podcast I announce that I'm holding a contest for listeners.  Winner(s) get a dead tree edition of Doane's Bible Myths.  If my interne...
