With the recent changes in the organization, the task has fallen to me to take a leadership role in the Atheist Viewpoint TV show. We usually tape 4 shows at once, and the topics range widely.The “on-line system” is now being upgraded (thanks to Tim) so we will be able to show you more episodes on-line, and we already do the video Podcasting.I’d like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to what subjects they’d like to see discussed on the show. Debates? Special guests? Likes/dislikes? Did you know the show existed?Also, as a reminder, it would be great if you as individuals could sponsor the show. It’s good activism and doesn’t cost anything — just a bit of effort. Here is the link to the (temporary) web site for sponsorship information http://viewpoint.illdill.net/sponsorship.asp

was lennon,atheist,agnostic,deist,christian.it seems it depends or what period of his life he was at.
the is no authority for the federal gov’t to be involved in education.no suprise that it has been a flop.so yes i’m for choice including the right to home school.i think adults who think if they homeschool their child will not change their religious beliefs is not born out by the facts though.
I must also acknowledge the wonderful otter references. All hail Dawkins!
Why should anybody be surprised that John Lennon once said he was a fan of Jesus? At one point in his life he actually thought he was Jesus reincarnated. Of course he had been on acid for several days straight during that episode.
And what is the point of all of this? Fuck if I know.
Can someone fill me in on the “otter” reference. I’ve been out of touch lately.
Pixel,
Go to your Tivo. Do a search on South Park. Find the episode that mentions Richard Dawkins. Then pick a side,
The weak little troll wants our sympathy. Awww poor thing.
Don’t feed the f’in troll!
If we just ignore it, it might just go away.
On Topic-
How about updating the podcasts on iTunes? Last episode is from October of last year!
Thank you, thank you very much. I have to fly out early in the morning and won’t be back till Monday. I have so much to say but it is late. I have myself chuckling but will refine it for later. Phreedm, you little rascal I am waiting for your two cents on macro-economics. If you could get a train of thought rolling maybe we could develop a meaningful dialogue. Honest.

LOL
Mark-
It doesn’t understand the word ‘honest’.
You are trying to open up a HUGE can of worms by baiting this idiot.
Folks,
I’ve begun helping Tim at AA post new episodes of the Atheist Viewpoint onto the Atheist Viewpoint Youtube channel: http://youtube.com/user/illdill264742
More are on the way!
Dave:
I’ve seen the 1st two episodes.
Atheist parenting – good luck!!!!
I’ll be interested in seeing how your mixed marriage works out in another ten years. Marriages don’t exist in a vaccuum. From my experience, the theistic half of the union has all the allies.
When you lock horns and she cites some kind of hokus-pokus “reason” for her position, don’t you roll your eyes just a little bit?
She does not pull that out. So far, we’ve gone 17 years and the difference isn’t getting in the way. Just lots of communication and treating each other with respect.
Dave:
After seeing “News & Nuts”, I’m convinced that you’d have no part of such nonsense as being put in charge of all the family’s light switches on Saturdays.;-)
I must say that I was very moved by what I consider to be the most powerful statement of position by a spokesperson for this organization, submitted by you toward the end of the show – that “moderate” practitioners of religion “hurt the world” – simply by existing.
I’d like to hear more of such talk. Dennis should not only get your point, he should do some more thinking about it if he still disagrees. The squeamishness he obviously felt at hearing your remark is only residual manipulation – something that the religious put into our heads as children.
I for one would like to see more emphasis on deeper philosophical issues and less bickering and sniping both here and on the show. How does one find meaning in a godless and uncaring universe?
