AS253: Eli vs Travis on Gun Control Jun 27, 2016

Show notes

Everyone’s favorite Christian movie critic and Atheistically Speaking master debater, Eli Bosnick, is back at it defending a strong anti-gun position against listener Travis. Atheists actually tend to be quite split on this issue, as made clear by the comments I get on both sides. So, I’m very happy to be hosting a dialogue between … Continue reading AS253: Eli vs Travis on Gun Control →

AS252: Commentary; Inciting Incident Jun 23, 2016

Show notes

First up is some commentary on a common misconception about my Trump arguments. I do not think PC culture is blame to Trump. There’s a comment of disagreement I keep getting that I deal with in the first part of this episode. The second part is an interview with Al Laiman from the Inciting Incident … Continue reading AS252: Commentary; Inciting Incident →

AS251: Andrew Torrez on Hate Speech Jun 20, 2016

Show notes

Recently a hashtag went viral called #IStandWithHateSpeech. While that might seem to be on its surface a pretty insensitive statement, it perhaps voices a legitimate concern with EU hate speech laws. Here to help us wade through the details is everyone’s favorite legal correspondent, Andrew Torrez! Here’s a news story that describes it a bit: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-16-1937_en.htm

AS250: Thinking Clearly on Orlando Jun 16, 2016

Show notes

In a world of knee jerk reactions and the desire for easy scapegoats, I hope to bring you some balanced analysis on the shooting. Many different contributing factors coalesce here – Islam, homophobia, homophobia in Christianity, gun control, masculinity. What are we to make of all these? Well, listen in and I hope we can … Continue reading AS250: Thinking Clearly on Orlando →

Show notes

I’ve got those dirty bastards Tom and Cecil back for more! We talk about whether or not Hillary can get more done than Bernie would have, and whether PC culture has led to Trump. After the dudes are gone I address some of the response I got to the Ania debate over ableist language. It … Continue reading AS249: Tom and Cecil, Part 2 →

Show notes

The dudes are back! Tom and Cecil are in the house, and we’re talking everything politics. What do they think about Bernie or Bust? Are they #neverTrump? Also, how do they feel about free college?

AS247: Ableist Language with Ania Bula Jun 06, 2016

Show notes

Here’s the somewhat more contentious part 2 you’ve all been waiting for! In this one, Ania is a bit more critical of some of the ableist aspects of society, including language used by your host. We got into a hearty debate on the issue, and then I comment on it after. I’m very, very curious … Continue reading AS247: Ableist Language with Ania Bula →

AS245: Objective Morality, Boltzmann Brains and More May 30, 2016

Show notes

I’m back for some more analysis of points brought up in the Sean Carroll episodes. Spoiler alert: Sean Carroll was right about Boltzmann brains. Who would have thought! It took a commenter with a background in physics to actually address the problem I brought up on its own terms to convince me. I got even … Continue reading AS245: Objective Morality, Boltzmann Brains and More →

AS244: Sean Carroll, Part 2 May 26, 2016

Show notes

We’re back for more with Dr. Sean Carroll! This time it’s even more action packed. We talk about his debate with William Lane Craig, which I think is one of the best atheism/religion debates out there on the YouTubes. In addition to that, we talk about the Boltzmann Brain Problem, and Sean answers questions from … Continue reading AS244: Sean Carroll, Part 2 →
