Tune in at 9am Central to Atheists Talk — this week, it’s humanists and godless soldiers. (In case you’re wondering what a Minnesota zip code might be, you can try 56267.)
This military topic is incredibly interesting. This was only touched upon at the American Atheists Conference. The fragging (intentional friendly fire) story is appalling. This is religious people plotting murder of atheists in the field. But really, I should not be surprised.
Baby Mama? What in the Hell? MN Atheists are gonna meet at the Block E to see Baby Mama?!?!?!? What about Indiana Jones or Iron Man. Indiana Jones would be more appropriate considering it flirts with the idea that aliens (yes, space aliens) are our gods. Something that is considerably more plausible than fucking Jesus.

I loved the ad for the evolved vs. intelligently designed buffet. You don’t get that sort of thing on UK radio! There’s good business sense if I ever heard it, taking money from anyone, regardless of beliefs.
The pest control thing was in there for an odd reason.
Insider radio: The engineer who does the weather overslept and we were worried that we might not get on today. She normally records the weather while we are setting up, but since there was such a rush she didn’t get to record it. The cart system doesn’t play yesterday’s weather forecasts, and so it automatically inserted a random advert.
Thanks for the info, Mike. I must say that it was an absolutely hilarious coincidence the player randomly picked pest control, during an atheist show which is… battling pests. By the way, the last half of the show was one of the best segments you guys have had so far.

Atheists are sometimes soldiers, but they excell at stuff like working for the KGB and secret police organizations.

SC says
Success! Good way to begin the day.

… google “Minnesota zip code”.
I just love the protection. It’s so efficient. :D
SC says
I feel guilty posting two substanceless comments in a row, so I give you a US time-zone converter:

Thanks SC, I always miss this. Must remember Central time= 6 hours behind.
Psycho Atheist says
I thought I’d missed this, then I realised that coming from the civilised part of the world I am actually 6 hours ahead!
Being a godless soldier myself (albeit from the UK) I shall listen with interest.

And don’t forget to have your favorite towel by your side.
Spook says
Huh, it doesn’t care about my area code. Perhaps this is because my javascript is off?
Anyway, if you need a direct link (I did, Linux dork here) use this URL

Spook says
Duh. Zip code, not area code. And I didn’t see that it was already entered in.
Now I feel like a doofus.
maxi says
I see now why I needed the zip code, why do you have to be from Minnesota to listen? Humph.
Listening now though, what a faff.

Hmmm… Anyone notice the Pest Control advertisement in the Atheist radio show? I really feel the need to call them up.

Manual, according to a recent study by the Population Resource Bureau, 19% of the members of the US Armed Forces are atheists.
Be careful who you try to frag.

You are lying about your source.
And your libel is noted.
