Podcast Recording

Here is a photo of four Godless Heathens recording the Godless Business podcast episode 1.2…

A sexy bunch aren’t we. Possibly the sexiest podcasters in the world, apart from Cali Lewis of course. From left to right, Oliver (childless), Andrew (askegg), Nige (thats me!) and Jim (from Tasmania)

In the foreground is Jim’s mixing desk rig, and on the table are our computers. Andrew and I have great taste and use MacBook Pros. Olivers taste is obviously questionable, and Jim appears to have a direct connection to the internet with his brain. You will see we enjoy drinking coffee, just like Mr Gruff. There may or may not have been alcohol in those glasses, and you can not quite see the empty beer bottles in the shot.

Who's that dorky idiot at the back, laughing?

Oh wait – it's me.

Must remind myself to hold by gut in and not look so relaxed next time a photo is being taken.

I vote we record on the couch next episode. Those seats are just too hard on the arse for over 3 hours of talking.

This can be arranged I guess

Yes, the seats can get a little uncomfortable after a while. Perhaps it's designed that way to make you mad, which is always good for the podcast.

I think Nigel should set up a podcast recording pit complete with dancing girls and table service.

The Australian Christian Lobby are lying again. This time they are mischaracterising the Atheist Foundation of Australia’s “No Religion” campaign by stating (emphasis mine): “While the census data is rightly used to assist the government to plan for services and infrastructure, other groups, including some atheists, are seeking to push their agendas by encouraging people [...]

Dog Heads

The excellent British broadcaster BBC 4 recently aired a fascinating program called “The Medieval Mind” which explores the philosophy, theology, and predominate thinking of the dark ages. The first episode deals with knowledge and revealed numerous intriguing insights into how the medieval mind determined epistemological truths. Monks, priests, and other godly people were in possession [...]

Atheists n Agnostics speak out in Arabic

I flagged this video a few days ago, but only watched it this evening. It’s is not often we see ex-muslims speaking out against the “religion of peace”. What these people have done is extraordinary and brave given the fundamentalists attraction to extreme violence.

The perfect God

I want a god whose ultimate goals which do not necessitate the creation of mysterious suffering and death. I want a god who doesn’t violate causation by causing things to begin to exist from nothing in the absence of time. I want a god who does not give us “free will” then punishes us for [...]

Atheism 2.0

“Atheism 2.0” is a 20 minute TED presentation by Alain de Botton in which he proposes a new approach to evangelising atheism. Alain suggests (apparently without evidence) that we have “secularised badly” and we should sift through the rituals, traditions, and behaviours of religion to identify and adopt their efficient mechanisms. “I have come here [...]
