“Mormon Underwear” is the Temple Garment and is Sacred to Latter-day Saints

Temple garments are worn by faithful Latter-day Saints as a reminder of sacred beliefs and commitments. Sometimes inaccurately referred to as “Mormon underwear” or “magical underwear.” While the temple garment is a sacred representation of an individual’s commitment to God including living a good, honorable life —the accurate and respectful term of such underwear is “temple garment.”

Rapper/Flat-Earther B.o.B. Beefing With Neil deGrasse Tyson

Atlanta rapper B.o.B. sent out a series of tweets claiming that he does not believe the earth is round. He thinks it’s flat. He doesn’t appear to be trolling.

Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down.

"Yes, there are still people who believe the Earth is flat. One of those people might be B.o.B.



The Atlanta rapper took to Twitter and posted a photo with a pretty deep inquiry about how the distance between two cities were 16 miles apart, so he asked: “where is the curve?”

Relying on his savvy followers, they shared their own explanations to Bobby Ray's question. Some sound logical, others sound pretty troll-y. Even famed scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson is going in on Bobby Ray.”*

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.

The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

Atheism: The Struggle & the Promise, OR Religion's Incompatibility with Science

A lot of scientists these days are too frightened of not getting their grants funded by congressional theocrats to tell you why religion and science are completely incompatible. Eric Stone, Ph.D., a retired neuroscientist, is no longer one of them. He will discuss the many ways these two worldviews are incompatible or downright contradictory including their logic or lack and the fact that one is about facts and testable hypotheses while the other about only far fetched notions of wish fulfillment. He will also cover how religion rejects essential features of the scientific method and how it is fooling a lot of good scientists today with its so-called “anthropic principle” and a supposedly God-“tuned” universe.



Eric did his undergraduate work at New York University and his graduate work in the Dept. of Psychology at Yale University with Neal Miller where he received his degree in Physiological Psychology (now known as Neuroscience). He conducted basic neuropsycho-pharmacological research on brain stress systems involved in depressive illness for over 40 years at NYU School of Medicine in the Depts of Psychiatry and Pharmacology and has published extensively in peer reviewed journals.

He came out as an atheist about 15 years ago and has been active in the movement ever since. He helped form Westchester Atheists in New York and took over the reins of the Rossmoor group with his co-leader and wife, Elaine, when they moved to California in 2013.

Mitch Diamond - The Problem with Consciousness

Are humans (even atheists) rational creatures?

Why do people vote against their own best interests?

Why do they imagine and worship non-material, non-empirical phantasms?



How effective and accurate is human higher-order consciousness, the cognitive features that (theoretically) differentiate us from other animals?

Science has some answers, but the implications are decidedly uncomfortable. When the objective evidence conflicts with beliefs, when your pre-frontal cortex (PFC) disagrees with your amygdala, what do you do? Let's use our PFCs and amygdalas to discuss and evaluate the science investigating the functions of our PFCs and amygdalas.

Drew Marshall Show - How Jesus Became God

Professor Bart D. Ehrman joined The Drew Marshall Show with Professor Natalie Evans from University of Waterloo as a call in guest on May 17th, 2014. The broadcast was recorded from the studio of CJYE based in Oakville, Ontario Canada.



Did Jesus really claim to be God? Drew Marshall begins the show by discussing Bart's spiritual journey initially and then focuses on his latest book "How Jesus Became God." How did this transformation of Jesus occur? How did he move from being a Jewish prophet to being God? The dramatic shifts throughout history reveal not only why Jesus' followers began to claim he was God, but also how they came to understand this claim in so many different ways.

The Walking Revolution

A 30-minute documentary film that's guaranteed to get you walking, The Walking Revolution explores the tremendous changes a regular walking routine can make in your life and your community.

Our cities were once designed on a human scale. As more and more people took to the roads, the suburbs quickly became the new frontier. The result: urban sprawl so expansive it could not be walked in a single day. The impact on the human body has been devastating. Our days are spent sitting at our desk, in our cars and on the couch. We were not made to sit around all day.



After 75 years of planning that produces a sedentary lifestyle, a radical redesign of our cities and open space has begun. Parks and paths are making a comeback to create truly walkable communities through partnerships between local residents, businesses, developers, municipalities, urban planners and health care providers.

The health benefits of walking are numerous. A regular walking routine of 30-minutes a day, five days a week can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, depression and some cancers. Take 30 minutes to watch the film then, take a 30 minute walk. It will be the best hour of the day.

Televangelists: God Says We Need Another Private Jet!

There’s an insane phenomenon called “prosperity gospel” where preachers tell their audiences to send them tons of money so they can live lives of luxury/private jets. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“If you’ve ever wondered why some Christian preachers must hopscotch the globe in fancy private jets, it’s in part so that they don’t have to get on commercial planes with the “demon” common folk.



Preachers from the so-called “prosperity gospel” movement, Kenneth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis, tried to explain their controversial need for their followers to give up their hard-earned dollars so they can fly in luxury in an interview posted Wednesday.

Copeland then pointed out he could “scratch my flying itch” by riding around in his single-engine, open-cockpit plane.

“But we’re in soul business here,” he said. “We got a dying world around us. We got a dying nation around us. And we can’t even get there on an airline.””

Wes Fornes - The Metaphysics of an Atheist Chaplain: How Secularism Deals With The Dying

How can one be an atheist and a chaplain? 90% of the time Wes Fornes is with patients and their families when death is knocking at the door, where he will call upon the divine in prayer. And then what does he say when the family asks, “Will I see Aunt Betsy in Heaven?”

In this talk, Wes will highlight the metaphysics of the Atheist Hospice Chaplain who stands alongside the most fervent of religious during times of trauma. When talk of heaven, a spirit world, and a rosary are at the core of someone’s reality, how does an atheist chaplain bridge the gap?



Wes Fornes has a B.A. in Biblical Studies and Philosophy from Dallas Baptist University, a Masters of Philosophical Theology from Criswell College and a Masters of Philosophy from [Green College] Oxford University. In the span of twelve years, he pastored in three evangelical churches, two of which were mega churches. Of the three churches, the first was a Southern Baptist church in Dallas TX, the second a young and hip Baptist church in Chesapeake VA, and the 3rd was a Pentecostal church in Charlottesville VA. His deconversion took place in 2010, but he remained a closet Atheist for one year while in the church.

Wes' current position is Psychosocial Director at a hospice company covering Gilroy to Pacifica. He leads the team of chaplains and social workers whose goal it is to provide spiritual and emotional support to the dying and their families.
