We should let the dead rest in peace! >:( 06:58 Justin Harnish lol nwko 06:59 Joe Swam you meant roast in peace...right? 06:59 Justin Harnish damn keboard, the e ius too close to the w 06:59 Justin Harnish and where did that u come from 07:00 Justin Harnish hey everybody, I got a new keyboard and it's slightly smaller than my old one 07:00 Neko I should start a duck rights movement. 07:00 Justin Harnish ducking right you chould... a movement towards the oven 07:01 Justin Harnish shhhh, movie is starting 07:01 Joe Swam ha 07:02 Derek X As the stereotypical black guy, I'm gonna talk during the movie. 07:02 Derek X No, don't go in there... 07:02 Justin Harnish are you any relation to Malcom? 07:03 Joe Swam Hiya, Derek 07:03 Derek X Haha! 07:03 Derek X Hiya, Joe. 07:03 Joe Swam John Wing: http://www.comedynest.com/montreal-comedy/john-wing-march-8-9-10/ 07:04 Joe Swam Dan Telfer: http://dantelfer.blogspot.com/ 07:04 Joe Swam Troy Boyle: http://www.usanap.org/staff/executive-board/troy-boyle.html/ 07:04 Justin Harnish wing and boyle? - they just don't work together 07:05 Joe Swam Agnostic doesn't answer the same question as atheist does. 07:05 Derek X The way I see it, being Agnostic has nothing to do with Atheism. 07:05 Derek X One is about knowledge. One is about belief. 07:06 Joe Swam "I am an atheist -- that's a statement about what I believe. I am also an agnostic -- that's a statement about what I can prove. They aren't the same thing. As a skeptic, I embrace both." Chip Denman 07:06 Joe Swam exactly, Derek 07:06 Justin Harnish interesting take 07:06 Joe Swam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purgatory 07:06 Derek X 1 point for me. Am I in the lead? 07:06 Heatherbunny Whew! 07:06 Joe Swam yes 07:07 Joe Swam http://www.usanap.org/ 07:07 Justin Harnish so you can be atheist and agnostic 07:07 Joe Swam I would've felt better about "Freethought Party" 07:07 Joe Swam I am Justin. 07:08 Derek X Yeah. It means you don't know there's a ****** and you're choosing not to believe without evidence. 07:08 Derek X crap, forgot about the filter 07:08 Heatherbunny I like freethought party 07:08 Joe Swam haha 07:08 Neko I like it as well. 07:08 Derek X I think most Atheists fall into that category. 07:09 Joe Swam https://www.secularstudents.org/speakers/JamilaBey 07:09 Joe Swam Aaron Ra: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL37FA339837E8978D 07:09 Justin Harnish that's kind of Russels teapot and pascals wager rolled into one 07:10 Joe Swam http://www.shelleysegal.com/nap-con-2013/ 07:10 Neko Ra's Falsehoods of Creationism series is really good. 07:11 Joe Swam Greydon Square: http://greydonsquare.bandcamp.com/ 07:11 Justin Harnish and the pope finally read the bible 07:13 Jennifer Jones Argh, thanks for the reminder Joe!!! 07:13 Joe Swam Dusty Smith was wrong about that. I don't think we should "stick together" just because we're atheists. 07:13 Joe Swam You're welcome, Jen 07:13 Joe Swam I've posted them throughout the thread. 07:14 Derek X Yeah, I hate that too. 07:14 Derek X It makes people assume there's some kind of creed or dogma associated with Atheism. 07:15 Joe Swam I kinda think that happens with naming a political party "Atheist Party". We don't all agree on politics. It's a bit strange. 07:16 Derek X Well, to be fair, the majority of Atheists do lean to the left. But you're right... 07:16 Derek X See what I did there??? 07:16 Joe Swam No...I'm center 07:16 Joe Swam Yes...I did 07:16 Joe Swam ha 07:16 Justin Harnish I'm very centre 07:16 Joe Swam https://gumroad.com/emeryemery 07:16 Justin Harnish did you see my english spellng there 07:17 Joe Swam I can't see English spelling. 07:17 Derek X I see your American spelling of 'spellng' 07:17 Justin Harnish CENTRE 07:17 Joe Swam 'Murica 07:17 Justin Harnish that's how we roll downunder 07:17 Neko I think you just can't type. 07:18 Justin Harnish I can't really 07:18 Danielle Lucas Hi everyone! 07:18 Joe Swam Hi Danielle 07:18 Neko ello 07:18 Derek X Good morn - dammit! 07:18 Justin Harnish wow, that was a short add 07:19 Danielle Lucas Hey Joe! 07:19 Joe Swam Who's gonna be at TAM this year? 07:20 Neko You paying? :D 07:20 Justin Harnish what *** wants, *** gets - Roger Waters 07:20 Danielle Lucas I wish I could. Not this year though. 07:20 Joe Swam It's a shame that a kid can be called "too inquisitive". 07:20 Joe Swam Unfortunately, I'm not paying. I'm willing to pray, though. We can see if it works. 07:21 Justin Harnish lol Joe 07:21 Carl Hi Fight Club. First time long time. 07:21 Danielle Lucas I know. That's incredibly sad. They should, if anything, be actively pushed to be more inquisitive. 07:21 Joe Swam Howdy Carl 07:21 Neko I see how it is. You don't want me there. 07:21 Derek X What's that old saying... 'We spend the first years of a kid's life teaching them to walk and the next sixteen telling them to sit the fuck down.' 07:21 Derek X Something like that. 07:21 Joe Swam I like that, Derek. 07:22 Danielle Lucas That's pretty true Derek 07:22 Justin Harnish Derek, sit 07:23 Danielle Lucas I really wonder what issues I may have when I become a teacher in regards to the way I want to teach vs. the accepted bullshit procedures here in Texas. 07:23 Derek X Alright a fellow Texan! So, that makes two Atheists I know of in TX. Myself included. 07:23 Dar Emery (Mom) Hitch has an older son by another marriage, I believe 07:24 Danielle Lucas It is entirely possible we are THE two Texas Atheists :D 07:24 Dar Emery (Mom) He spent Hitchen's last days with him. 07:24 Carl Franke Alter boys go all the way? 07:24 Danielle Lucas Not by choice. 07:24 Neko Nah, there are plenty of atheists in Texas. :P 07:25 Derek X Alter boys can do all things through Christ, which strengthens them. 07:25 Carl Franke What exactly happens at a Christian organ lesson? 07:25 Dar Emery (Mom) Alexander Hitchens, Sophia Hitchens, Antonia Hitchens, 07:25 Joe Swam The school Hitch's sent his children (child) to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidwell_Friends_School 07:25 Danielle Lucas Yeah, I'm noticing. Not so many in my area, but that's part of why I'll be relocating to Austin in a year or so. 07:25 Justin Harnish strengthens their anus 07:26 Derek X I said 'through Christ'... that's what they call their anuses. 07:27 Derek X Yeah, I hear Austin has a huge Atheist community. 07:27 Carl Franke I would never take my kids to church. 07:27 Justin Harnish does ***** wank through the hole in his hand? 07:27 Joe Swam I couldn't take my kid to church. He'd cuss me out. 07:28 Danielle Lucas Austin is so much more progressive...for the most part. It is still Texas, but I visit as much as possible and it is where I feel most at home. 07:28 Joe Swam Go kick puppies in an alley. Anything but church. 07:29 Derek X I don't think it's the worst thing in the world to take kids to church. 07:29 Derek X I would, for no other reason for them to see the effects religion has on the human mind. 07:29 Joe Swam I agree. I'm being hyperbolic (I'm an ass). 07:29 Justin Harnish you're right Derek, killing millions of Jews is the worst 07:29 Neko I'm thinking I should move out of SC. 07:29 Carl Franke Our neighbors we were hanging out with stopped hanginig out with us recently when they found out we're atheists. Fuck em 07:30 Derek X A Pentecostal church would be best. It's great theatre. 07:30 Justin Harnish lol derek 07:30 Joe Swam It's funny how often that happens, Carl. 07:30 Carl Franke We started going to a Humanist meetup on Sunday mornings. They have science stuff for the kids to do. It's great. 07:30 Danielle Lucas I would not take my children to church because I feel like there is nothing that church can teach them about how to live that I can't myself. 07:30 Dar Emery (Mom) I was raised in the pentacostal religion 07:31 Dar Emery (Mom) Love those holy rollers 07:31 Carl Franke Some lady sneezed during a presentation by a guest speaker and NOBODY said bless you. I smiled. 07:31 Derek X People runnning up and down the aisles. Shouting and dancing. Delivering demons from human hosts. Better than the movies. 07:31 Joe Swam ha. Awesome 07:31 Danielle Lucas I would implore them to learn about different beliefs and if they chose to accept one it would be because they wanted to, but I don't like the idea of bringing them to church if they down't want to go. 07:31 Justin Harnish it's like the new world order 07:31 Derek X Only problem is that ***** always wins. Predictable. 07:31 Danielle Lucas My parents did that to me and I HATED it. 07:32 Dar Emery (Mom) Emery made me think and I started to read the Bible to help him and reading it made me realize it was bullshit. 07:32 Justin Harnish I was once a christian, a bahai and a wiccan - they are all retrospectively stupid 07:33 Derek X That's the best way to become an Atheist. Read the holy book of your choice. 07:33 Joe Swam I read a Children's Illustrated Bible in fourth grade and didn't believe by fifth grade. My parents were always supportive and not at all forceful about their beliefs. 07:33 Neko The problem of evil got me. Before that I had never really thought much about whether any religions were true. 07:33 Carl Franke Fortunately I wasn't raised in the environment. So I never had it shoved down my throat. 07:33 Derek X My entire family is Pentecostal and they all whole-heartedly believe I am possessed by a demon. 07:34 Justin Harnish Zod is omnipotent, how does evil exist? 07:34 Carl Franke Insight into why Emery isn't polite. 07:34 Joe Swam That's important. If it's forced on you, it's hard to let go of. 07:34 Heatherbunny Right Carl 07:34 Derek X I sometimes gnarl towards them. For fun. 07:34 Danielle Lucas I was forced to go to a mormon church as a child and, though I think it will make any reasonable thinker an atheist real quick, I know the messed up mind it can give you as an adult and I feel like that would be mentally abusing my children. 07:34 Carl Franke RE: Heathers comment. 07:35 Carl Franke You have to be in the mood to fight with religious people. 07:35 Justin Harnish I tell them they don't know who they are talking to 07:35 Joe Swam I usually get..."Weird. You seem like such a nice person." Or, "I would never have guessed you worshipped the devil." 07:35 Carl Franke devil worship, that one just makes my head hurt. 07:35 Danielle Lucas I don't typically engage the religious here in South Texas because I used to and I've noticed there are very few that will really hear what you say. The minute you say you are an atheist they turn off rational thought. 07:36 Derek X I get the black guilt... 'How can you turn away from **** after everything he did for your ancestors?' 07:36 Carl Franke I love that "Good news everyone" sound byte 07:36 Justin Harnish I always engage... I just ask for evidence and that stops them 07:36 Joe Swam I'm amazed at how often I'm the first atheist a person has met. 07:36 Neko I pretty much only debate online. 07:37 Heatherbunny Everything he's done...like allowed slavery??? 07:37 Dar Emery (Mom) My grandson't grandparents from the other side were pentacostal and they told him he was in a wheel chair because his mother had the spirit of Jezabel. 07:37 Carl Franke I work with a right wing catholic who used to always look to argue with me about it. 07:37 Derek X Hits and misses, Heather. They count the delivery from slavery, but not the actual act. 07:37 Joe Swam Ugh!, Mom 07:37 Danielle Lucas Joe: I've gotten the "nice person" one a couple times too. I usually just get well if you're right then your just dead, if I'm right then you go to hell so what could it hurt to just try. 07:37 Heatherbunny Damn them! 07:37 Carl Franke Eventually he's stopped. I had to stop myself at times from dismantling his religion becuase I'm at work. 07:37 Justin Harnish Joe, in NZ most of us are atheist or agnostic, so it's a surprise when we meet a believer 07:38 Derek X Sounds like heaven, Justin. You know, if there were a heaven... 07:38 Joe Swam That would be cool to experience, Justin. 07:38 Carl Franke Has anyone considered that the J Man may have been into slave-play? 07:38 Joe Swam Danielle, I've heard that one quite a few times myself. 07:38 Danielle Lucas Yeah, that would be nice. 07:38 Justin Harnish we usually end up laughing at them 07:39 Kyle Delaney What did I miss? 07:39 Joe Swam A little bit 07:40 Dar Emery (Mom) I want to move to a country where atheism is the major belief. 07:40 Danielle Lucas I just reply that if by that .001% chance you are right, I will be in good company (Hitchens, Sagen, Dawkins) 07:40 Kyle Delaney Got so caught up in work that I forgot the show was going on. 07:40 Joe Swam How many sentences start with: "Dude, when I pretended to be in a wheelchair..." 07:40 Derek X I want to move to a country where 'no belief' is the major belief. 07:40 Kyle Delaney Dawkins ain't dead. 07:40 Justin Harnish yeah, I want to go to hell coz it seems so much more fun 07:40 Danielle Lucas No, but in their mind, when he is, he will burn. 07:41 Justin Harnish you mean Hitchens? 07:41 Kyle Delaney Oh boy, here we go again with the "hell is preferable to heaven" routine. 07:41 Neko The devil seems like a better guy in the Bible. That *** dude is just a dick. 07:41 Justin Harnish lol - c'mon, how long could heaven be interesting for? ETERNITY? 07:42 Heatherbunny The devil never told his side of the story either. 07:42 Danielle Lucas Re: Heather: This is true :) 07:42 Joe Swam He needs to get on Twitter 07:42 Danielle Lucas The Pope did and look how well that worked out for him. 07:42 Kyle Delaney I agree that hell is preferable if we get to party down there and if we just sit around in heaven. But that's not how religious people are defining it. Why should we get to define it when we don't even believe in it? 07:42 Neko Anyone know of any good books making the devil look like the good guy? XD 07:43 Derek X I imagine if the devil did tell his story, he'd have Matthew Perry-esque comedy style. 07:43 Joe Swam ha, Danielle 07:43 Kyle Delaney I heard that there was a LOTR spin-off that made Sauron out to be the good guy. 07:44 Neko They all do it. 07:44 Justin Harnish Kyle, it's the in cheek speak 07:44 Kyle Delaney In cheek speak? 07:44 Justin Harnish everytime I'm asked if I want to turn or burn... 07:45 Kyle Delaney Oh ha ha. 07:45 Justin Harnish sorry, tongue in cheek 07:46 Kyle Delaney Yeah, I get it if it's all a joke. Don't mean to ruin your fun. 07:46 Justin Harnish bush was an awefull pres 07:46 Neko Whats wrong with shaving? 07:46 Carl Franke This is why Emery only has 2 friends. 07:46 Joe Swam ha 07:46 Justin Harnish you mean poly emery-ous 07:46 Joe Swam I cry at almost every other commercial. I'm such a wimp. 07:47 Neko I would be is friend! For at least a day or so... 07:47 Neko *his 07:47 Kyle Delaney Why commercials? 07:47 Derek X I agree with Emery. Ageism is the worst. 07:47 Joe Swam Because the guest mentioned commercials. It was in reference to his comment. 07:48 Justin Harnish old yeller... 07:48 Neko I don't like modern music... and I'm 21... 07:48 Justin Harnish sniff 07:48 Joe Swam I actually cry during almost everything I watch. 07:48 Kyle Delaney There's more modern music than just contemporary pop music. 07:48 Kyle Delaney People are still writing classical music, for example. It's modern because it's new. 07:48 Derek X I don't like rap. And I'm black. I'm much more into alternative rock. 07:48 Neko True. I guess its not all bad. 07:48 Justin Harnish eminem is just a candy 07:48 Carl Franke Music died in the 2000's. Breaks my heart that a band like Led Zeppelin wouldn't make it in todays music industry. 07:48 Danielle Lucas I don't like MUCH of the modern music that plays over and over on the radio, but if you dig, there is still a lot of good stuff now. 07:49 Dar Emery (Mom) I don't like most of the newer music, I cry at movies and Little House on the Prairie and Emery can kiss off. 07:49 Carl Franke Eminem is a homophobic ass 07:49 Kyle Delaney There's nothing wrong with music that's written in this day and age. But if it's pop music you don't like then I understand. 07:49 Derek X Eminem has something to rap about, unlike many rappers these days who just tale about their cars or women. 07:49 Carl Franke I do really like "Lose Yourself" I run to that song. 07:49 Derek X *talk 07:50 Carl Franke I think tomorrow at work, I'm going to only talk about my bitches and all my money. 07:50 Joe Swam Nice, Carl. 07:50 Justin Harnish there are also peanut eminems 07:50 Derek X You can't judge an artist by their worst songs. 07:50 Kyle Delaney There are some great composers writing music today. James Horner, Hans Zimmer, Clint Mansell, Joe Hisaishi, etc. 07:50 Dar Emery (Mom) I don't understand rap 07:51 Carl Franke I once put Eminems Almonds in my mouth. 07:51 Joe Swam It was actually Eddie Gorodetsky that said that. 07:51 Carl Franke kinda salty 07:51 Justin Harnish rap is only good at xmas... see what I did there? 07:51 Danielle Lucas Hey, if you write it, it's art, it's just not for me and in my opinion, some of it is just lazy. 07:51 Joe Swam I like the band name. 07:52 Carl Franke Screeching Weasel? I once had a duct tape gerbil. 07:52 Dar Emery (Mom) Rap is probably good, I'm jus† old. 07:52 Joe Swam "once" 07:52 Derek X Hey, it's Black History Month. Let's not criticize rap too harshly. 07:53 Jennifer Jones ME!!! 07:53 Joe Swam YOU!!! 07:53 Derek X US!!! 07:53 Kyle Delaney Some of the people you listened to "back in the day" are still writing music. Just look at Elton John. So how can contemporary music be bad? 07:53 Justin Harnish Hey Derek, how black are you? Are you like african black or coffee black? 07:53 Derek X Burnt Sienna. 07:54 Justin Harnish lol derek 07:54 Joe Swam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Scott_Card 07:54 Neko wtf? Orison Scott Card is anti-homosexual?? 07:54 Danielle Lucas I kinda agree...Chris Brown. 07:54 Carl Franke The people involved play a big role in my experience. 07:54 Jennifer Jones I don't like Chris Brown. 07:55 Derek X Maturity 07:55 Jennifer Jones And Rihanna.... so disappointing. 07:55 Jennifer Jones I LOVE THE WHO! 07:55 Joe Swam I love the Who 07:55 Justin Harnish the who is awesome 07:55 Danielle Lucas Or the neck tattoo...He says it isn't Rihanna, but considering you are so famous for beating up a woman, regardless of who the woman is, why would you get such a prominent tattoo. 07:55 Derek X Big news everyone! 07:56 Derek X Come on... 07:56 Danielle Lucas He joined twitter and within months lost faith in humanity. 07:56 Joe Swam http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/11/world/pope-benedict-declaration/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 07:56 Justin Harnish we do need a black pope 07:56 Derek X we need an invisible pope 07:56 Carl Franke Even the pope isn't immune to the Internets ability to dismantle religious belief. 07:56 Justin Harnish you mean like his **** 07:56 Neko He went online and became an atheist. Happens to all of us. 07:56 Joe Swam We need a nope 07:56 Kyle Delaney The chat crashed. Had to refresh. 07:56 Derek X Yes, Neko. 07:57 Kyle Delaney Looks like you didn't get my messages. 07:57 Dar Emery (Mom) Is there a problem with the program or is it my computer? 07:57 Joe Swam Mine is okay, Mom 07:57 Dar Emery (Mom) It is mine. 07:57 Joe Swam Try refreshing maybe. 07:57 Justin Harnish gatekeeper of the darkside 07:58 Derek X He's the fall guy. 07:58 Kyle Delaney If you hate actors like Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson, then you need to hate asshole musicians to remain consistent. 07:58 Danielle Lucas Jerry Sandusky is urging his law team to speed up his appeal as a "golden job opportunity has just opened up." 07:58 Justin Harnish he tweets, I have sweets, come to confessional 07:58 Carl Franke I did feel weird about watching mission impossible 3 on Netflix the other day. 07:58 Carl Franke He needs to be arrested. 07:59 Carl Franke I heard there was something on wikileaks. But that's all rumor. 07:59 Neko Anyone willing to get in touch after chat? 07:59 Justin Harnish to be honest, it's the crumbling of the church... about fucking time 07:59 Dar Emery (Mom) I agree. Something is happening in the religion and he wants out. 07:59 Neko ME FOR POPE!! 07:59 Kyle Delaney I generally enjoy Tom Cruise movies despite his life off-screen. 07:59 Derek X Mitt Romney! 08:00 Justin Harnish g'night everybunny 08:00 Carl Franke We should do a America's Got Talent type of interview process for the next pope 08:00 Dar Emery (Mom) The pope is going into seclusion after he is retired. 08:00 Neko night everyone 08:00 Danielle Lucas Good show guys! 08:00 Carl Franke Fuck the pope? I'm not 10! 08:00 Derek X Had fun. See you all next week. 08:00 Carl Franke ciao 08:00 Kyle Delaney Baby burkas would increase child molestation. 08:00 Dar Emery (Mom) Night, everyone 08:00 Kyle Delaney Perversion spawns from repression. 08:00 Kyle Delaney This is very dangerous thinking.
