    WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
    The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
    The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
    We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

    BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE GETTING THIS INFORMATION! (facepalm) Also, this after whining about information from Wikipedia, when HE sent them a link from Wikipedia; a link to a page that he didn't even read the entire contents of!
    I can understand why Dillahunty just doesn't believe some of these people are serious, but I also think he underestimates just how stupid members of our race really are.

    The caller Jacob does not understand that Eratosthenes, a Greek, discovered that the world was a sphere and that he calculated its circumference to within 70km, more than 200 years before Jesus was born - so his claims about Christianity announcing that the world was "round" are nonsense - why would Russell and Jeff "burn in hell" for simply believing the truth of known science, proclaimed more than 200 years before Jesus was born?

    The first caller from Norway (Matt) was referring to the Ica stones, supposedly found in the Ica Valley of Peru in the 1960s.

    To the dude that thinks a circle is a sphere in the Bible. The Bible painstaking describes a flat earth cosmology through and through.
    “When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:” (Proverbs 8:27)
    When I was in grade school we made circles on flat paper with compasses. Not spheres.
    I’m very brief here but read the surrounding context and compare it with Genesis 1. The Bible wasn’t inspired by an omnipotent creator god. It was written by dudes that thought the earth was a flat disc etched out of “the deep” and submerged with a dome holding back the waters, much how one might do with an upside down cup in a bathtub.
    Laters.

    If you saw a report about a guy who had kidnapped and tortured 10 people in his basement--and you're gleeful about it, and you root for the guy, and you laugh at his victims--what would that make you? A psychopath, devoid of humanity, right?
    Think of the millions of Christians in the world who gleefully relish the thought that TWO-THIRDS of their fellow human beings are being tortured by Jesus. They love and root for this guy, while hating his victims. Think about that.

    The Wizard in OZ is god. Toto is Dorothy's skeptical subconscious realizing that OZ is created by a frightened little priest, projecting a fearful figure to control the masses. Also, following the yellow brick road is a religious pilgrimage seeking things that the travelers believe they can get from OZ, only to find that they don't need this god, and that they have the power to do it themselves. I laughed when I heard a xtain show praising the Wizard of OZ as a family friendly movie.

    Noticed how Jacob and Matt both have Swedish accents? Jacob's accent is more pronounced than Matt's, but they are clearly Swedish.

    According to classic taxonomy, yes, hawk is a bird, and dinosaur is a reptile. But I personally don't consider changes between dinosaurs and birds essential enough to consider them to be a different taxon. That might have made classification confusing, if it weren't for cladistics.
