[14:00] Russell is too close to his mike, I think. [14:01] Hi, Emerald! [14:01] Heya Emerild! (sp?) [14:01] * duckdog has joined #nonprophets [14:02] hi folks [14:02] You can be one of the cool people! [14:03] The audio is going to be a bit off today, Russell is using Jeff's mic and I'm trying to adjust it...but his volume and tone are very different [14:03] A newsoid! [14:03] * joyce has joined #nonprophets [14:04] Just give me your thoughts on each of the mics and I'll try to adjust (but the delay is gonna make it difficult) [14:04] I cannot Grok that the newspaper printed this. [14:04] Yeah, and how does evolution explain Britney Spears? WELL!?!? [14:05] I can believe it - I'm continually surprised and depressed at what I read in the newspapers [14:05] 27 on to start [14:05] Evolution doesn't explain Britney Spears...religion does. Britney Spears is an anagram for Presbyterians [14:05] Thanks Billy [14:06] Billy left...this is Don [14:06] Well, thanks Don :) [14:06] :) [14:06] Seattle-ites are experts on the evolution of water. [14:06] and coffee :-) [14:06] and distant space..LOL [14:09] Christianity--the religion of love. [14:11] Catholics especially like torture, apparently. [14:11] it's character developing - don't catholics believe that human suffering is necessary? [14:12] "NECESSARY" I mean, with emphasis [14:12] * NeutronJack votes for ... er ... uh ... never! [14:12] absolutely necassary... [14:13] It's nice to note that the approval percentage of the "Secular" category was consistently below the public average. [14:14] Ha! [14:15] Hi everyone! [14:15] Who is the person replacing Jeff D., who I take it is not here today? [14:15] Russell is on Jeff's mic and running the show [14:15] Jeff couldn't make it today [14:15] People say "It's ok to torture the guilty." The problem is, determining just WHO is guilty!? [14:17] Umm... I'm sure I hear a new voice... that's what I meant. [14:17] Yeah, "rarely" is pretty vague. Like we say, with today's computers, a one-in-a-billion chance happens every second. [14:17] That's Emerald...Russell's cousin. A guest :) [14:17] Cool :) Hi Emerald! [14:19] It's wrong to torture, unless we want to do some torturing. That's convenient. [14:20] There are passivists who agree than it's never okay to kill anyone, period, for any reason whatsoever. [14:22] Plants? You're exaggerating. [14:23] hey, all they're saying is "give peas a chance" [14:23] lol [14:25] We're EEEEEEEEEEEVIL! [14:26] * joyce has quit IRC (joyce) [14:26] hear,hear - the god of he bible is an ugly, petty adolescent [14:26] * boink has joined #nonprophets [14:28] * donsouza has joined #nonprophets [14:28] * Billy-FTR has left #nonprophets [14:29] Emerald is good [14:29] Aye [14:29] Always good to hear a womans voice [14:30] 33 [14:30] yeah, otherwise theistic listeners might think atheism is mostly a male phenomenon [14:30] I think this is another facet of Jeff's theory, that popularists are often popular because they demonize a minority that's acceptable to demonize. It opens pocketbooks and grooms viewers. [14:31] Atheists--the next Jews. [14:32] did Ventura admit to atheism BEFORE being elected though? [14:32] he playes it down [14:32] Ventura's comments on religion were known before his election - but I can't find any direct claim that he's an atheist. Just non-religious [14:32] I doubt there's anyone open atheist who's been elected anywhere in North America [14:33] NP you're right [14:37] Best way to find out what atheists believe? Ask a non-atheist. Huh!? [14:38] atheism is the "last closet". [14:39] In America, perhaps. This really isn't a problem in a lot of other countries. [14:41] I think only in the U.K. and some European countries will you be respected by the public as an open atheist [14:41] but even in Canada, I don't feel I can be extremely overt about it [14:43] Atheists argue about the practical results of concepts believed by theists and the rules and assumptions they make based on those concepts (gods). The word "Atheist" likely wouldn't even exist if there weren't a lot of theists who push their beliefs and rules. [14:44] (Emerald got it! :) [14:44] Aye ) [14:44] I agree - atheism exists and is defined because theism is so prominent in human history [14:47] ...like Joan Osborne's song: "What if God was one of us, just a slob like one of us..." [14:48] I get a similar response when people find out that I don't want kids. "Why don't you want kids? What trauma occurred? Why do you hate children?" It's none of those--I'm just not interested in the concept. [14:51] * ouini has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) [14:51] I think the Chef is "half-baked" [14:52] * boink has quit IRC (boink) [14:55] Chat hosted by irc.wikkedwire.com [14:55] Visit the Atheist Community of Austin website: http://www.atheist-community.org [14:55] Visit the Non-Prophets website: http://www.nonprophetsradio.com [14:55] * ouini has joined #nonprophets [14:55] Listen LIVE at http://www.freethoughtradio.com [14:55] Welcome!

Winamp, media player and other software can be used by "connect to URL" or "play URL" features and directing the player to: nonprophets.gotdns.org:8000 (Limited spaces available) [14:56] My DSL connection drops, oddly, whenever I get a phone call. [14:58] LOL Darth Chef! [14:59] Chef could rejoin. It's a cartoon -- they can write him in in any stupid way they want. [15:03] Hey, when the Non-Prophets come on, should you say "The Non-Prophets is on" or "The Non-Prophets are on"? The Non-Prophets is a proper noun, meaning it's not plural? Like the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team (not Maple Leaves)? [15:03] And the problem is ... ? [15:04] heh [15:04] Indefual: The question is, are you talking about the show, which is singular, or the hosts, who are plural? [15:05] The show. [15:05] Thanks. Good call. [15:05] Then it's singular. The Non-Prophets Show is on. The Non-Prophets is on. [15:06] That's what I thought. [15:06] Just making sure. [15:06] :) [15:07] Cool--a dramatic reading! [15:11] The article says that the IRS says Wildmon made 58k, +14k bennies. The average homosexual makes 288 thousand?! [15:12] * NeutronJack considers switching for that kind of money. [15:13] I'm so worried - Focus on the Family has exported itself to Canada now. They've set up shop in our capitol and will be assisting our new Conservative Government in their attempt to reverse the last governments gay marraige ruling. [15:14] * NeutronJack wants a picture! [15:15] yeah, give us a link [15:15] Link! Link! [15:16] * rudeboy has joined #nonprophets [15:17] AHHHHHHHH! [15:17] Sorry guys, no link...but you can google it :) [15:17] sorry, needed to vent [15:17] What was her name again? [15:17] * ouini has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [15:17] Debra Lafave [15:18] uh, how can I get the live feed?

Xian shows just rant on and on about the same topic [15:21] it's great that you talk about other things [15:22] Many pictures: http://thomasgalvin.blogspot.com/2004_06_29_thomasgalvin_archive.html [15:22] aren't you just being polite to a guest host by not interrupting her? [15:22] That's what I thought. It's not a gender bias--it's politeness to a newcomer. [15:22] It's just that familiarity breeds contempt. So yes, it's a form of politeness. [15:23] Everyone is bent on ruining my "truth" with facts. Stop it! :) [15:23] damn skeptical altheists! :) [15:24] Interrupt her! Now! [15:24] LOL [15:24] Overt is the word [15:24] The wealthy run and are ruining the world [15:24] I just spent a quiet morning reading the newspapers [15:25] She sure sounds prettier than you galoots. [15:25] LOL [15:25] Thanks all...and she is much prettier than the rest of us :) [15:26] Good show, NP.
