What is humanism? What are its core principles? On what topics do humanists agree and disagree, and how do they live these principles? Sunday’s show doesn’t promise to have all the answers, but the conversation should be illuminating. Listen to Scott Lohman, president of the Humanists of Minnesota, and friends discuss the topic during one of Minnesota’s greatest gatherings of humanity–the Minnesota State Fair. The panel at the live show at the AM 950 KTNF booth are Scott Lohman, Audreg Kingstrom and Mark Thoson.
Listen to AM 950 KTNF on Sunday at 9 a.m. Central to hear Atheists Talk, produced by Minnesota Atheists. Stream live online. Call in to the studio at 952-946-6205, or send an e-mail to [email protected] during the live show. If you miss the live show, listen to the podcast later.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.

It occurs to me that the FTB blogger lineup is pretty Minnesotan-heavy: with P.Z., Greg, and you, that’s almost 20% Minnesota. For those of us who might aspire to FTBloggerhood someday, I hope there’s not a quota.
There are a lot of golden rule principles: first, do no harm. Don’t do something you wouldn’t like done to you. Leave it the way you’d like to find it — or better. Do unto others as they would have them do unto you. Punish cheaters so they don’t make a habit of it. Etc.
Rieux, if there were a percentage quota, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be here, but are you actively blogging anywhere, even to capture the arguments you make in comments? If not, you should.

How exciting! I’m so glad I found your blog because I’ll certainly listen to this! =D
