Sam and Becky speak with Michael Nugent of Atheist Ireland about Ireland’s 2009 anti-blasphemy law, Catholic influence on Irish law, and Ireland’s changing religious demographics. Then Mike, Sam, and Becky discuss news items and respond to listener emails.

Big thanks to Living After Faith for the use of the studio for this week’s interview!

Join Dan, Sam, and Mike as we mull over some misconceptions of science and the scientific method by creationists, and how disproving evolution won’t bring back your honey.

Sam and Becky chat with guest Heina Dadabhoy  and her book A Skeptic’s Guide to Islam.  Heina is busy writing her manuscript after a very successful Kickstarter funding campaign.

After that, Libbie joins us to talk about the R74 and the elections in general.   We also discuss the lack of atheism representation in government and the obvious solution to it as enacted by James in Nebraska.

Sam, Mike and Becky look at the responses to our official candidate questionnaire, and then talk to author Loren Collins about his new book, Bullspotting: Finding Facts in the Age of Misinformation ask him why “Birther” conspiracy theories just won’t go away.

Join Mike, Libbie, Sam, as we talk about current events, news, and the inherent evil of Steve Jobs. Here’s a translation of an Interfax news report about the Apple logo and Russia’s blasphemy laws. Here’s a link from Greta Christina describing the success of her fundraising efforts.  Feel better soon, Greta! Libbie’s books are available here.
