Rubénerd!

It's been a while since I filled in another of these LivingSocial Top Five lists I've grown so attached to, so this afternoon I created and filled in a new list entitled My Favourite Heathen Tomes!" I figure at best only a few billion people follow each of the major religions meaning the majority of the people on Earth will be going to Hell including me, so there's no point trying to work against it right? ^_^

• On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin
• The God Delusion, Richard Dawkins
• The Portable Atheist, Christopher Hitchens
• The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the Future of Reason, Sam Harris
• The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Bobby Henderson

The why I am an atheist episode.

A bit more serious: discussing the reasons why I became an atheist from experiences in my early childhood to the present, including most recently my beautiful mummy's struggle with cancer and passing on.

Also briefly refuting some of the misconceptions about atheists including intolerance, arrogance, spirituality, materialism, wishful thinking, heaven, the celestial dictatorship, and why statements like this are completely untrue.

BONUS: A very quick, foolproof test you can use to see if someone who trashes evolution has actually studied it.

DISCLAIMER: This episode was not recorded to insult people, it's just an explanation for why personally I'm atheist. If you are religious you may be offended, but please know that in my heart that it was not my intention.
