Woke up today and saw that the new design template for FTB had gone live across the whole network. I took one look at the ugliness and thought… And because I’m a rebel and I just don’t care, I went back and switched to the old one. Change happens, and often it’s necessary and for …

Some friendly local media coverage
Because when you have the longest-running and most-awarded locally produced TV show in your community, it’s kind of hard to dismiss you utterly. But then, Austin’s always been Texas’s little progressive blue oasis in a desert of reactionary red. So when this sort of thing turns up, they’re very nice to us. Thanks, guys!

Belated Open Thread for Show 789: Jen & Tracie
I forgot to post an open thread for the show yesterday, and am doing so now. Feel free to post your thoughts on calls like “I Just Wanna Talk about Matt,” “Alternative Medicine,” and “How Do I Get My Theist Mother to Get Me?” Or talk about anything else we discussed that strikes your fancy.

We get email: Manly Man is Manly
I never cease to be impressed by the courage of anti-feminist, MRA Freedom Fighters! That was sarcasm. Dillahunty is off his rocker if he thinks feminism is merely the idea that men are equal to women. Feminism is a paranoid leftist ideology with a whole slew of dogmatic principles. A person can believe in equal …

FFRF sues IRS for allowing flagrant electioneering by religious nonprofits
I just wanted to put this initiative on the community radar and wish FFRF good luck with this. Churches have been ramping up electioneering and becoming more and more open about their pushes for candidates and parties. They use a very simple code that should fool no one. They swap out “Intelligent Designer” for god. …

Open thread on episode #785: Quantum quack attack
Sorry about the quiet week, gang. I think we all have a lot on our respective plates. Plus, everyone who attended the Texas Freethought Convention last weekend was pretty beat afterwards, I suspect. Anyway, today’s show was a feisty one! Predictably enough, I thought of something I could have asked our “the universe is a …

Feedback from Sunday’s show…
Let’s make today’s e-mail a GREAT one. I directed a caller on Sunday’s show to my take on the Sermon on the Mount. He was, admittedly, a searching deist with Christian leanings – but he was still of the opinion that the New Testament was an improvement and that there were merits there that elevated …

Atheist asks for ideas for dealing with religious people who hate god
We received an interesting question to the TV list, and one I don’t know if I’ve actually heard before. The core of the matter boils down to this: “My point is that it was through reason that I ultimately rejected the faith that I was brought up in. I wish I could say that this …

Bat Cruise weekend, A Better Life, and episode #780 open thread
Man! What a week. Things have been busy here in Austin Town. First, most of us spent days early in the week doing our individual photo shoots and interviews with Chris Johnson for his book project A Better Life. Some of you will remember, back in the spring, my promoting the Kickstarter fund drive for …
