Atheism is a Seinfeld philosophy.
A philosophy about nothing.

How many hours can the show sustain "God sucks!" "Believers are stupid!"

Did RR have a son named Michael? I think he’s on the right of politics.

Since we live in a democracy, can’t we have a ballot initiative demanding that Ron change his last name?

>>>It’s not like we’re anti-religion, but we do want to be a voice.”<<<

Yeah, freakin’ right.

>>>Hitchens described as “immoral” the Christian tenet that Jesus Christ died for the sins of others. “It is an attempt to evade responsibility and re-adopt the ancient ritual of scapegoating,” he said<<<

We won’t discuss who is attempting to evade responsibility here....

True, but Michael Reagan carries his legacy.

It is incredibly expensive to maintain a single patient on life support. I have no idea who is footing the bill for an entire radio station.

How they continue to broadcast is beyond me.

Christian God = Christ
Buddism God = Budda
Islam God = Allah
Jewish God = Yaweh
Atheist God = Self

Personally, I put more faith in Christ than in myself.

Mike Savage went ballistic over Ann Coulter’s remark about Jews needing “perfection.” “The gospel is the foolishness of God to confound the wisdom of man...” - Paul paraphrased.

NON Reagan.

They could have had atheist (or was it God hater) Asa
Coon from Cleveland on as a guest, too, had he not blown
his brains out during his school shooting spree...

What can they talk about on an atheist radio show? They can’t talk about God since they don’t believe in her. All they can do is trash others’ beliefs.

I will never understand how it was that this little twit was the son of President Ronald W. Reagan.

Not only does Michael Reagan have a talk show but he also
has the prestigious domain name...

http://www.reagan.com

As for Ron Jr., I’ve noted from his appearances on TV, etc.,
that he has a really shaky voice a la Kate Hepburn... and I
guess he has some kind of enviromental show on Scare
America called Ring of Fire. Or used to. For awhile I guess
he was on KIRO in Seattle but his show just got cancelled.

Michael—adopted, born 1945
Ron Jr.—son of Ronald and Nancy Reagan, born 1958

"A philosophy about nothing."

Exactly. It's bizarre. However, it makes sense if, instead of atheist radio, it's really anti-theist radio. It will still be difficult to maintain, but there is certainly a niche market for it... like Dawkins' book.

Christopher Hitchens can get onstage all day and say how the world would be much better off without Christians but Ann Coulter is considered the hater (based on a Media Matters hitpiece that the media gladly ran).

“How bloody sad is this, that he carries his fathers name.”

They say talent skips a generation. Maybe character does too.

As far back as I can remember, Ron Reagan has basically lived to embarrass his dad.

LOL!!! Air America was replaced here in the Dallas area with the Guadalupe Radio Network (EWTN Catholic Radio).

The bible says that God will save a “remnant” of the Jews...

perhaps they will be christians?

All Christians have a Jewish Savior!

Whenever I hear rich, childless couples complaining about "infertility",
but refusing to consider adoption...
I simply think "just look at the two sons of Ronald Reagan.
And ask yourself which one is his TRUE son."

(A: The adopted one, at least in my opinion)

Ron Reagan: Ronald Reagan’s biological son

Michael Reagan: Ronald Reagan’s TRUE son (and adopted)

(IMHO)

“Christopher Hitchens can get onstage all day and say how the world
would be much better off without Christians “

...but Mr. Hitchens gets married in houses of worship and sends his
children off to religiously-affiliated schools.

(Noted by Tim Russert in a small debate he had with Christopher
Hitchens and that Meachum (sp?) fellow that writes articles on religion
at IIRC, Newsweek.
It did appear that Hitchens did SQUIRM a bit at
Russert’s announcements about his personal life.)

Some of the angriest and selfish people I know are secular Jews. Some of the happiest are Messianic Jews. To be a practicing Jew, and accomplish all that the scriptures direct is not possible without the power of the Holy Spirit.

Atheist God = Self

This is close. The Atheist says, he knows there is no God. The Agnostic says he doesn't know if there is a God. Thus the Atheist has taken a stand where the Agnostic has not.

Both worship self (as most humanists do), but the Atheist proclaims there is no God and has no choice but to exalt self in the process as Man has to worship something. And that Idol presently is self.

Worked for Madalyn Murray O'Hair, at least for a while, until one of her colleagues took to heart her do-unto-others-then split code of amorality.
