I have no idea where this Alain de Botton guy sprung from, but he can spring right back. You’ve heard Dawkins mention the Neville Chamberlain school of atheist accomodationism, but de Botton, an atheist who thinks atheism would be really awesome if only we were all religious about it, is full-on Vichy. His latest excrescence, [...]

Martin Wagner Iron Chariots update
February 28th, 2012 Kazim FYI, in case you’re wondering: The forum has been updated to a new version of PhPBB, but the old data hasn’t been fully transferred over. Expect a delay of perhaps a few more days before the process is complete. Don’t panic, your posts will come back. The wiki is up and running, but no anti-spam [...]
Assault is not free speech
February 28th, 2012 Kazim I have to say, I was initially kind of skeptical of this story about the judge who threw out a lawsuit against a Muslim for assaulting an atheist. Several people have emailed us looking for a comment on it, and I hesitated to jump on it until I knew the whole story. It’s not that [...]
Open Thread for Show #750 – Matt & Tracie
February 27th, 2012 heicart This is the open thread for the program. No topic, just calls. Caller Eric, from AZ, most fun. Can something come from nothing? Can there *be* nothing?

You may have seen some notices and plugs about photographer Chris Johnson and his Kickstarter project for a lavish coffee-table photo book featuring atheists, but if not, go have a look and open your wallet to him if you feel so moved. I do think this is a nice idea, and Chris’s goal to help [...]
Iron Chariots outage
February 24th, 2012 Kazim FYI: Ironchariots.org will be experiencing some down time for a matter of hours or days as I try to complete this upgrade to the latest version of MediaWiki, which should help reduce spam and make more tools available to editors. UPDATE: It’s been down since yesterday, now it’s back up. It doesn’t look any different, [...]
Debating and rallying and reasoning, oh my!

Matt is, as you read this, getting ready to take the stage at West Texas A&M University in Amarillo for another debate. Here’s the flyer thingamajig. No, we don’t have any idea about their plans to record the debate, or [...]

Somewhat off-topic: Evolutionary arms race of spam
February 15th, 2012 Kazim Just wanted to mention that we get a lot more attempted spam here at Freethought Blogs than I ever remember getting at the old blogspot address. Luckily, the spam filters are pretty good and I usually don’t have to lift a finger to mess with it. I do, however, see a few posts a week [...]
