Chariots of Iron

The charming and funny Dr. Darrel Ray returns to the show to discuss his exciting new book, Sex & God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality. This show was recorded on January 7, but I am a giant moron. I edited and uploaded the audio files as usual, but DID NOT update the actual feed. I am really, really sorry.

Also, it’s worth mentioning that we’ve made some changes to our format. We’ll be discussing some of those changes, and ideas we have for the show on our next episode. Let’s hope I actually post that one to the feed on time.

In this episode, David Silverman, president of American Atheists, joins us to talk about the upcoming Reason Rally and other things going on in the atheist community. Before that, Eli and Lamar read listener mail and announce future changes to the show.

NOTE: This show was recorded on November 12, 2011. Yet another show released way too late and yet another apology to go with it. Perhaps one day we’ll have our shit together.

Lamar and Eli get together and discuss Occupy Wall Street, the Republican presidential candidates, a list of poorly thought out defenses to so called common objections to Christianity, and whatever else came to mind.

NOTE: This show was recorded on October 15, 2011. We sincerely apologize for the lateness of this release.

The title is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it does come up on the show and Humanism is the primary subject in Eli’s interview with Jennifer Hancock. Before that, Lamar and Eli spend a good hour and a half discussing current events and listener mail.

NOTE: This show was recorded on October 1, 2011 and the interview with Jennifer Hancock was recorded even earlier. We sincerely apologize for the lateness of this release.

I want to take this moment to apologize to our listeners, I can’t give an exact date, but I can confirm that there will be new Chariots of Iron Episodes in September. I want to tank all of those who have emailed and left comments on the various internet locations Lamar and I frequent. As you all know the last show we released I am still dealing with the long recovery from my daughter’s surgery. Thing are going well and my time is starting to free back up. I wish that I could say the same for Lamar who has had his own life-altering experience, to which I will allow him to speak when he has the chance.

Look forward to more great interviews, humorous commentary and general snark, coming soon to an mp3 or ogg file near you!.

In this episode, Eli and I present the winners of the Nature of Existence Contest we announced in Episode 70. While reading the submissions, I butcher the word “garrote,” sorry Michael.
