Should Atheists Define Atheism as a Lack of Belief?
Saturday Jul 05, 2014
Saturday Jul 05, 2014
We are finally back after a long hiatus. And we are back with a bang. In this episode we look at whether or not atheists should even want to define atheism as "lack of belief" and why I think not defining it as such actually makes atheism a much stronger position.

There be monsters in y'er Bible mate

Tuesday Jul 30, 2013
In this edition of The Freed Thinker Podcast we respond to a meme that has been making its way around the atheistic blog-o-sphere and on the Facebook threads dealing with the supposed “monsters” in the Bible. How accurate is the meme? Does the Bible affirm the real existence of Dragons and Cockatrices and Sea Monsters?
We will see.

Special Edition - Moral Philosophy Part 4.1
Friday Jul 26, 2013
Friday Jul 26, 2013
In this episode of the Freed Thinker Podcast (in conjunction with the Skeptics Testament) NJ, Brandon, and myself continue to explore the topic of moral philosophy. Brandon begins to present his somewhat idiosyncratic position on Moral Nihilism and I think what follows is a very interesting discussion. In fact we had so much fun that we recorded for way too long and we needed to split it up into two different episodes.

In this episode of The Free Thinker Podcast we wrap up the presentation of my book review of David McAfee’s book Disproving Christianity and Other Secular Writings. We start with his chapter entitled Atrocities and Absurdities, move on to the conclusion of Part 1 of the book then finish up by looking at the handful of small secularist reflections (really more anti-theistic than strictly secular).
