Reality strikes even the godless at Christmastime

By pharyngula on December 9, 2009.

Previously, I enviously mentioned this fabulous godless variety show going on in England this year. It's Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People, organized by Robin Ince, and featuring a host of secular personages of note.

They had a similar show last year, with many requests for recordings. The great godless minds cogitated, and realizing that Deep Thoughts alone do not pay the utility bills or generate pints of beer, they have come up with an idea: you can now buy a DVD of the 2008 Nine Lessons show, proceeds of which will go to the Rationalist Association. You should get it. It'll help keep some atheists warm.

Although…what's this? PAL? Hmmm. Don't know how well that will go over in the US. This might just be an opportunity for lucky Europeans.

Oh no…the day needed a few more hours. I've been at the Atheist Alliance International 2010 Copenhagen Convention listening to Roy Brown, Gregory Paul, Dan Barker, AC Grayling, and doing a little yammering of my own, and the Trophy Wife™ and I were supposed to go to the evening of Godless…
Planning for Irene
If you live in the Eastern US, particularly, but not exclusively the eastern coastal US, you need to be prepared for quite a storm. No one is sure what track Irene will take, or how much damage she will do, but everyone between New England and the Carolinas, potentially including NYC and NJ are in…
“Cult” is the new “fundamentalist”
I have to hammer on one more thing from Sam Harris's reply. He objects to the label "atheism" because it will chase away people who do not want to … well, read what he says. They have read the writings of the "new atheists," sent us letters and emails of support, are quite fond of criticizing…

My multi-regional DVD player is one of the best purchases I've ever made.
I am a UK TV geek so let that be a guide however.

I know elves live a long time, but the majority die their hair when it goes grey, or even shave it off altogether.
