Speaking of Godless Perverts…

Categories:

LGBTQ & Sexuality

by

Greta Christina noticed that I had posted an email last week with “Godless Perverts” in the title — as a reference to one of many attempted insults tossed out by one of our commenters. That post had little to do with Greta Christina’s regular meetup group, which is actually called “Godless Perverts,” so that seemed to …

Fake YouTube account, fake contest

Categories:

by

Some rather pitiful attention seeker, using the YouTube username “HelpImSick”, has renamed his channel to “Matthew Dillahunty.” He is currently stealing and reposting ACA videos, and under several videos he has included this description: May 1st-31st Contest for 2013: Give a coherent explanation that God exists, that could actually almost convince me that God is …

Resources to think about: black atheists

Categories:

Race & Social Justice

by

In the aftershow this weekend, a caller asked why there aren’t any black hosts of The Atheist Experience. As we discussed, this isn’t an act of deliberate exclusion. Over time, hosts come forward who are active members of the group and have an interest in representing the community in this way. For whatever reason, there …

That’s what we are getting with a recent string of emails from a fellow who signs off every message as “Kevin the Creationist.” Apparently Kevin called the show in 2012, and since then he’s periodically been sending us email trying to tell us about exciting new evidence for a young earth. The latest round began …

This is a week and a half late, but now that the Atheist Experience YouTube channel is operational, and video comments are meant to redirect here, I guess it is mandatory. Episode 808 with Matt and Jeff:

Thoughts on Life of Pi

Categories:

Arts, Media, Literature & Culture

by

A reader asked what we thought of the movie Life of Pi, and since I’ve never brought up my opinions on the blog before, I figured I should share them. I read the book years before seeing the movie, enjoyed it with some reservations. The movie was beautifully done. This review will contain spoilers, so be …
