First, let's suppose that Jehovah God is real. Good News for the religious, right? Then, let's twist it a bit and see what happens should Jehovah die. This would cause a major problem for at least the Abrahamic religions. After all, how could we hope for eternal life if the Provider Himself is subject to mortality? The guarantee of eternal life in His Presence would at that time become null and void. Steps must be taken and a coverup must be carried out. Hiding bodies is difficult enough, but when the body of Jehovah falls from Heaven and turns out to be two miles long, complications multiply. The beauty of novels is that they allow absurdities to shed light on reality, and James Morrow uses the device of the dead god to illuminate our notions on religion and philosoophy. Scott Lohman, President of the Humanists of Minnesota, will interview Morrow on our show.

Is there a direct correlaton between atheism and liberalism? Why do so many atheists lean towards the left of the poltical spectrum? Many of our past shows have focused on the Conservative Christian influence over American politics, but does that necessarily mean that one needs to oppose their views in all areas? Politics, philosophy and atheism are the topic for today's show. Our guest is Massimo Pigliucci, who contacted us following our interview with Sunsara Taylor, because he wanted to address a few of the points she had made in regards to socialism and atheism. As a philosopher and an evolutionary biologist, Massimo regularly addresses the intersections of politics and religion. George Kane will lead the discussion.

Skepchick is a group of female (and one "deserving" male) bloggers
dedicated to the idea that skepticism and fun can and should coexist.
They turn sharp wit and sharper intellect on subjects such as religion,
UFOs, medical quackery, and credulous and sensational reporting. At the
same time, they dismantle the idea of skepticism as a dry, intellectual
exercise at their many events and meetups, such as their Drinking
Skeptically and Skeptics in the Pub events.
This July, they're
combining both strengths by hosting a series of panels and other events
at Convergence, the Twin Cities largest current science fiction and
fantasy convention. Many of the Skepchicks will attend, and special
guests include astronomer Pamela Gay and MN Atheists own PZ Myers.
In
the studio, Stephanie Zvan will interview Skepchick Carrie Iwan about
the Skepchick organization, Convergence and other ways to have fun
while thinking skeptically.
"Atheists Talk" is produced by The Minnesota Atheists. Mike Haubrich, Director and Host.

Bart Ehrman is a scholar of The Bible and has published popular works at a rapid clip on the subjects of theodicy and the literary history of the books some refer to as "Scripture." He was an evangelical who believed that The Episcopalian Church in which he was raised was too tame on the teachings of Jesus' Word of Salvation. Dedicating himself to the study of the original Greek versions of the Gospels and New Testaments in order to better understand the word of God, he made the discovery that (Whoops!) the Bible couldn't be an inerrant instruction manual. There were too many inconsistencies, too many obvious copying errors in the translations and too many differences in the theologies contained within the books we call the New Testament for it to be a coherent work of God. He has since become agnostic, strongly convinced that even if there be a Creator it is certainly not the one painted by our Christian religions.
Scott Lohman and Grant Steves bring their intellectual prowess to bear in discussing the books of Bart Ehrman for this program. Grant and Scott are both impressed by Ehrman's writing, and they are entertaining thinkers and speakers on the subjecs of literature and theology. This is sure to be a fun show as they discuss Ehrman's books.
