I have been trying to get rid of my smartphone habit for some time. Here's the latest attempt.
Our previous caller, the Neo Charvak is back. But the confusion remains. Still no clear definition and still a lot of prevarication.
A caller wanted to have me accept that it is possible to be a Hindu atheist. I disagreed of course. If you watch this, you may also find this old video of mine interesting.
This was a little strange, but only a little. A self-confessed Yeshua follower tried to imply that there was something ubnique about the golden rule. I pointed out that it was just a regularold moral principle. Here is a recording of the conversation.
Last week, on the live stream, a caller wanted to offer his holy book as evidence of god's existence. It was a fun conversation. Here is a recording.
I wasn't always an atheist. And when I wasn't, I didn't like Richard Dawkins much (for obvious reasons). But even after I started identifying as an atheist, I didn't warm up to him much.

Ranvir Allahbadia, who also goes by the name of Beerbiceps, does a podcast called The Ranvir Show (TRS). On it, he invites allmanner of loonies and allows them unfettered access to his enormous audience.

Ranvir simply sits and listens and allows them to wax eloquent.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to make a video to mark the occasion of, it's actually a kind of a big thing because I have deleted my Twitter account. I have been, you know, like this is not something surprising to anyone who's aware of the fact that I've kind of been moving away from social media for quite some time, like the beginning of this year.
Vimoh: [00:00:00] Hey, we are live. Hi everyone, and welcome to the livestream. Welcome to this channel's livestream, which is happening probably after a couple of years. Uh, I do a separate livestream on my livestream channel, uh, called Vimoh Live.

Not a week goes by without someone telling atheists that their religion "allows" atheism and that it "allows" debate and discussion or that it allows women to speak and go to work.
The pattern that seems to emerge when one looks at all the ways in which middle-class India engages with civic issues is that it is all little more than entertainment. And when the things they are obsessed with become something more than entertainment, they start to get queasy and often even hostile.
In a democratic society, the power ultimately lies with the people. Elected officials are put in place to serve the public and make decisions that reflect the will of the people. However, it is crucial to understand that democracy is not a one-way street.

Popular fantasy has for long had a group of critics who complain about its 'race problem'. Simply put, in most novels, the heroes, wizards, queens and witches are almost always White. Only yesterday, I read a rather angry piece by David Dennis Jr on the new Ridley Scott movie Exodus. Apparently...
