Social Media and Atheism .... an Atheist Talk Conversation with Mike Haubrich, Stephanie Zvan and Greg Laden.
We talk about trolls too.
The rug really ties the conversation together.

Atheist Voices of Minnesota (which comes in a print version and a Kindle version) is a collection of individual journeys to atheism. All the authors are Minnesotan (natural born, former, or immigrant to the North Star State). While some of the authors are…
I've been a guest or interviewer on Minnesota Atheist Talk radio a number of times. I never talk about atheism because I'm nothing close to an expert on that or related issues (though I do have a chapter in a book about it, here!). And, of course, I'm very involved, professionally, in certain…
Atheist Voices of Minnesota: an Anthology of Personal Stories was released earlier this year. It is chock full of personal stories about the journey from some place to atheism, written by Minnesota authors such as Norman Barrett Wiik, Elizabeth Becker, Kenneth Bellew, Ryan Benson, August Berkshire…
This Sunday, August 30th, at 9:00 AM, I'll be on the radio with John Abraham, climate scientist. This will be an edition of Minnesota Atheist Talk Radio hosted by Mike Haubrich.
The discussion of climate change will be interesting and important and you should listen live or listen to the podcast…
UPDATE: The video is now fully embedded in four parts.
Isn't atheism also a religion? Or is there a proof that god doesn't exist? I personally don't know if there is a god or not but some people seem to know it. Unfortunately they aren't able to show a proof. In my eyes also atheists are believers.
It was fun seeing and hearing you all for (for me) the first time! I've heard you all talk before on podcasts, and seen pictures, but never video. This kind of thing really helps me hear your voices when reading your posts.
Also, big thanks for the shout-out, didn't see that coming, and I lauuuuughed and laughed.
The rug was nice.
I guess I need to try out farmville now ....
Yeah, we were both blind-sided by shoutout. Seriously. :D
This was a great talk -- good pacing, and long enough to get some good meat on it but still leaves you wanting more. That's key to longevity in these things!
I have been meaning to try Second Life for years now. One of these days I might actually get around to even downloading it. Figure there's a skeptic/atheist presence there? I hear Phil Plait gave a virtual symposium once... though he apparently spent half his talk familiarizing himself with the controls or something along those lines.
Well, Jason and Jodi, there is no backing out now. People now your story all over cable access in Minnesota!
And on Scienceblogs.
Alexander, you may want to learn more about atheism. It's really agnosticism without the sugarcoating. It's not an attempted to disprove, but a statement of doubt that supernatural entities exist.
No worries Mike, we've got our outfits being delivered and the ring is off to be resized and notched now. We're already in far too deep to back out. And we definitely wouldn't want to disappoint Minnesota, not when we're planning on visiting so soon afterward!
$20 on Alexander being a new breed of spammer, that tailors its blog posts to the Google search that found the blog in question. The link in his name takes you to a totally unrelated "news" blog in Switzerland. Humbly suggest de-linking him to sabotage their page rank?
Jodi and Jason, I'm glad it made you happy. But really, how could we not? Media doesn't get much more social than the two of you. :)
The link in his name takes you to a totally unrelated "news" blog in Switzerland. Humbly suggest de-linking him to sabotage their page rank?No fear; the links look like this:<a title="http://www.lousycanuck.ca" href="http://www.lousycanuck.ca" rel="nofollow">Jason Thibeault</a>and I'm fairly sure they've been that way for a while on Scienceblogs.
Interesting talk !
Someone buy Mike a teleprompter...:-)
I think, Rorschach, that we have a good reason to add that to the budget based on your comment.
Atheists have no morals, and they are believers -- they believe in their own infallibility, and they worship themselves. They believe in gossip, rumor, innuendo, lawlessness, lack of taboos, lack of the concept of crimes, and publishing lies about people. They have no consciences, how could they? They answer to no one but themselves. They are frauds, essentially empty people masquerading as decent human beings and trying hard to pretend it's all about science. Atheists are lawless and godless, but worst of all they have killed their imagination and need to answer to anyone but themselves. You are delusional. And I have met Mike and he's a freakin' scary guy. There is something seriously wrong with him.
Edgar? Is that you?
