Now that it&#8217;s officially 2009 and the family isn&#8217;t calling on a near-daily basis I can turn back to wasting the time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we talked about in the last podcast Australian students in religious education classes are going to be given some education about Humanism and it will be pointed out that "there is no evidence for god. Of course Ken Ham has a bit of a reading comprehension problem, and this explains a lot about Mr. Ham, in his recent blog post he claims that Australian Students are to be taught "there is no god".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over on my favorite blog (well besides my own) PZ Myers was kind enough to post some hate-mail he'd received over the recent Zoo/Creation museum controversy.  While Professor Myers does not respond to these directly, there was one comment I wanted to call out, and decided, since I've been lazy this week, that I'd do so here, as it is representative of a common claim from fundamentalist religious types.]]></description>

He nicely summarizes just precisely how one can be moral without a religious foundation. As we plan out our future shows it&#8217;s a topic we [...]]]></description>

He wrote a sour-grapes piece complaining why he wasn&#8217;t invited to some evolutionary symposium attended by noted biologist and blogger PZ Myers.  You can read his inanity here.

I&#8217;ve got to say though that the latest round of attacks the GOP has been leveling on the democratic ticket is a level of hypocrisy that must make the religions of the world jealous.

The Governor stated at a campaign rally that she enjoys going to "Pro-American" parts of the country, implying of course that some areas of this nation I call home are not "Pro-American".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With recent changes in the US Presidential race polls there has been a grasping by the media to explain what is going on. Dubbed the "Palin push" this phenomenon is currently being attributed to an upsurge in political activism by conservative women who see the VP pick as a reflection of their own values. It's not that the "Family Values" voter wants a candidate who shares their vales, but rather, wants to make sure that those values are reflected in national policy. They want these values enforced.]]></description>
