Open thread for show #778

I’m writing this before coffee, so I hope it’s not too riddled with typos or grammatical weirdness. And that’s as much apology as you get. This is an open thread about yesterday’s program. However, a few points about Eric from Mesa, AZ. [...]

Lady Godiva and a Forgotten Lesson about Honor

Categories:

Atheism & Religion

by

Do you recall the story of Lady Godiva? Most people recall an image of a woman with long flowing hair, on horseback, naked. But less people are actually familiar with the legend behind the image. In summary, the good Lady was married to a greedy tyrant who exacted painful levels of taxes from his subjects. …

Kazim asked me to repeat some thoughts about the sexism issue in the skeptical community. He’s right that it’s not fair to let him, Martin and Matt take the heat on the AXP side, while addressing these issues over at Godless Bitches, as if AXP isn’t part of the skeptic community and this issue. So, here …

Open Thread for Show #750 – Matt & Tracie

Categories:

Uncategorized

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? If it *is* or *was*–then could it have actually been nothing? If nothing does exist, does that mean it’s something? If nothing cannot be (as Eric defined it …

Another, “I just can’t believe what my brain can do”

Categories:

Kind of the same stuff. If consciousness, then afterlife. But this person wants to know what atheists think, and asserts nobody has offered a satisfactory answer. I will fully admit I may be pleasantly surprised, but up to now what this usually translates to is “I don’t understand/accept the findings of neuro scientists, and potentially …

In our viewer mail: Dear Sir/Madam: Saw a link to your show on Facebook, and found it quite interesting. Don’t know if you guys know much about Eastern thought. Here is what I posted about your show on Facebook: An interesting discussion. The two hosts are quite reasonable and logical. However, they assume Western ways …

So, we have a guy posting to the list who really, really, REALLY wants to talk to someone about a show on History Channel that he says involves Isaac Newton and Bible Prophecy. Martin wrote back noting this is the same channel that airs Ancient Aliens, but the correspondent continues to write asking if someone …

The “I Can’t Believe It’s Not God” Hypothesis

Categories:

Uncategorized

Just as intro to the explosion of text I’m about to post, I want to say that I viewed it as more fallacies that you can shake a stick at, infused with a good smattering of pseudo-science; however, I’m pretty sure the writer thinks it’s brilliant. And, well, perhaps it really is the case that …

So Many Claims, So Little (No) Support…

Categories:

This letter was to Matt, so I opted not to reply. But also, if I did reply, I wouldn’t have much more to offer beyond, “I’ve never seen anyone offer up such a lengthy list of claims that included no attempt at offering even one shred of support.” Does Guinness have a category for something …
