There used to be such a corner long time ago. Seems it was called the agnostics corner or some such and was started by a lady who no longer posts here. It was somewhat popular for a while but then faded away. So few unbelievers I presume. Or those who will admit it.
i often feel we could do well to play at a better synthesis of writing and talking
and what Seth so graciously put out seems such a dense weave of significanct scope
as usual...
Thanks, I've been toying with an idea for a podcast for some time now, I have a site I want to host the podcasts from and a forum and chat. If I just spend some time getting on the talkshoe thing and learning how to use it maybe we can start a weekly 1 hour or so format. And on the fly we can have people posting new content relative to the discussion and have it as a single thread, including chat transcript and URLs.
If I get some more interested parties I'll give out my web site address and people can join the blog/forum.
I don't post here a whole lot lately, but those topics would be interesting to me. They shouldn't be limited to the framework of atheism though. Anyone interested in the roots of religion should want to understand those things.
Seth, I'm a theist - but would definitely get into checking out that stuff...I've always found it enjoyable to explore other viewpoints from folks I'm familiar with and in such a friendly environment as Grease Spot....Don't think I'd have much to contribute - but I certainly would read a lot.
LOL that was funny! Reminds me of the Robin Williams bit about god, he said something like this. "Do you think god ever gets high? I mean like when he made the Duck Billed Platypus, ok make it furry likes to swim with webbed feet, a ducks bill, poisonous barbs on hind legs, umm and oh yeah it lays eggs. Eff you Darwin!"

Seth,
There used to be such a corner long time ago. Seems it was called the agnostics corner or some such and was started by a lady who no longer posts here. It was somewhat popular for a while but then faded away. So few unbelievers I presume. Or those who will admit it.

i often feel we could do well to play at a better synthesis of writing and talking
and what Seth so graciously put out seems such a dense weave of significanct scope
as usual...prompting me to pop off with one of these:
a technical/logistical suggestion/request...
someone/s of us please integrate the written and the live
not only as a way to hold and juggle such a wide range of contexts (as the first post)
but as a way to upgrade the re-readability, navigability and access to the document of the conversation
...and by "document" i include both audio and video ...perhaps even documentary
possibly helping cut down on those, our 100-page threads that few may ever navigate
like...
do a skypecast..or talk shoe
and make a radio show out of it
experiment with a few formats
blend the live discourse and live inquiry
with the textual discourse and textual inquiry
then talk about the pod cast on the forums
and talk about the forums on the podcast
...maybe chat about both
ive also often wondered how having such an occasion in optionally recorded, non-recorded, and partially recorded formats
might give more cause and room for more to participate
as well as cover bu++s
ok,
rant button off...

I just need to get going on it.

Well, there IS this site already available, and it has a discussion forum up and operating:
http://www.infidelguy.com/
I'm sure there's many others out there as well...

An Atheism framework for this wouldn't be bad at all. It's not as limited as one may think.
I've seen some of the best questions on atheist sites.

i think any ex-twi take on atheism, or any form of post-theism, could be unique and valuable to the ex-twi conversation
as well as the larger non ex-twi conversation
...i dont expect much from the twi conversation
"roots of religion" being valid...as P-mosh pointed out
Seth...
only an hour?
yeah right
i mean...you covered quite a wide multi-layered layered swath of territory with your opening post
an hour a week is barely gonna scratch the surface
for what its worth...i say ...get some friends to set aside a long sunday afternoon (or whatever)
and fiddle with the knobs for a while...
i know im surely game for that kinda thing
but do that first...and you may be able to eventually widdle it down to an hour
heck...even a few hours gives enough material ...post-edit ...to produce an hour of podcast to publish

I don't consider myself an athiest but many of those topics sound very interesting, Seth.
I read the Agnostic Table thread faithfully back when it was going, and learned alot during that time.
