With a practicing Mormon as a serious contender for the Presidency, we thought it important that our listeners learn more about the inner workings of this bizarre cult. Prominent ex-Mormon Richard Packham gives us a rare insider's view of the history, theology, and future intentions of this powerful and growing sect.

I suppose the show should have been called: "Mormonism: The Truth Behind The Magic Underwear." Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum..

Dr. Avalos is a Professor of religious studies at Iowa State University with degrees from Harvard and the University of Arizona. He has been on the program prior to discuss with us his very insightful work, "Fighting Words: The Origins of Religious Violence." This time he will discuss why much of Biblical Study is self-serving and dishonest. I am almost done with "The End of Biblical Studies" and I am finding it an amazing work. IG recommended.. Get it today! He confirms much of what I have been saying for years about how the Biblical Studies establishment purposefully changes meaning, conducts egregious omissions and insertions, and distorts things to serve the purpose of maintaining the Bible as meaningful and relevant in todays modern culture. It's all a sham.

Tim Leedom, author of "The book your church doesn't want you to read," is our guest.

Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort apparently put together a flash presentation designed to convince non-Christians that they need to find Jesus before it's too late. Their technique essentially is to guilt-trip people into believing by making you feel as low as possible and that you are horrible human being. Ahh.. just as Jesus would have done.

The website in question is this one: http://www.wayofthemaster.com

Many years ago, I dissected this video just for fun.

In celebration of Black History Month, Mike Estes appears to discuss with us, Black Freethought from the 1900's to 1950's. We will look at many of the very influential black freethinkers, unknown to most, that were involved in the civil rights movement and black intellectualism.

A memorable quote from the show:

"That is our tradition! A tradition of educating ourselves and beating the odds and mastering the rules that white society have put on us, and once you master those rules then you can change the rules." - Mike Estes - Speaking out in response to those that don't find value in speaking the white man's English well.

Reverend Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church forgot that we had an interview this day, but his daughter connected me with Tim Phelps. Boy oh boy! I'm glad Fred didn't appear, I wouldn't have gotten a word in. We focus on homosexuality in the bible, and why God hates "fags" and America. Tim says some pretty harsh things about gays. No surprise he's been assaulted "hundreds of times".

Dr. Charles Goodman, professor of eastern philosophy at Binghamton University, reappears on the program to discuss why atheists should believe the doctrine that there is no such thing as an individual self.

Discuss at the Official Infidel Guy Podcast Site

Mr. Kent Hovind of (DrDino.com) appeared to debate whether or not evolution is true and also discuss the truth of Christianity. This program was a point/counterpoint style discussion/debate in which about a dozen listeners called in to challenge or support Hovind on his claims. This was a special 2 hour program designed to allow visitors and supporters of InfidelGuy.com to take Hovind on. IG stayed out of the way most of the time to allow the callers a say.

* Unfortunately.. we didn't get a chance to discuss Christianity at all. In fact, Hovind claims it's faith anyway.. so not much to discuss on the issue anyway.

I hope enjoy another blast from the past.

Frank Zindler is a former professor of biology and geology in the State University of New York. He is currently the Editor of American Atheist Magazine and Director of American Atheists Press. He appears tonight to discuss Young Earth Creationism, typical arguments from YEC's against Evolution, Geology Facts that don't support YEC, discuss Noah's Flood and well, basically... he's going to destroy Biblical Creationism. Link of interest: Rock of Ages

For almost a decade  "IG" has brought you freethought debates, interviews and discussions.... but now.. it's time to move forward. "The Infidel Guy" as an entity, unfortunately, does not have the wide-spread appeal needed to remain successful in the talk industry. It was once said, "There is only 'one' Infidel Guy." If true, what happens when IG dies? Does InfidelGuy.com die with him?

Enter thedebatehour.com. IG realizes that he cannot do this forever. DH.com is designed with the sole intent to remain long after IG can no longer continue. He also designed infidelradio.com (under construction) as the successor to The Infidel Guy Show. The intent, to provide more content to his fans and to also have another great show similar to IG that hardcore fans can still enjoy. Richard Spencer will be your host and we will explain what's going on with these two new sites in an upcoming podcast.

DebateHaven.com is the official name of the forums at thedebatehour.com. These forums are designed to be a more inclusive forum. All will feel welcome. On the  debatehour show, we hope to bring on guests with dramatically different views and have them educate and entertain us. Reginald Finley's role, as well as special guest moderators, will be to help the discussions along, add some irreverent spice now and again... and to make sure the opponents are getting an equal amount of airtime.

Reginald Finley Sr will be the chief moderator/host of thedebatehour.com and it will be broadcast every Friday @ 8PM ET while Richard Spencer's InfidelRadio will be broadcast every Wednesday @ 8PM ET. Every 3rd Friday @ 7PM, Richard and IG will team up together to provide you with, Infidel Debate. This new debate series will be 2 hours long and will feature some of the best minds in philosophy. These debates will be structured formal debates.

Thank you for your time!

* Dr. Phil Fernandes, president of the Institute of Biblical Defense and the author of "The God Who Sits Enthroned", appears on the program to argue that Christianity is true, and even more, evolutionary biology is false! Fernandes has been in several debates with highly respected atheists, including Jeffery Jay Lowder and Dr. Michael Martin. Don't miss this program!

Apologies, we are currently down for server maintence. To make up for this. I shall place the two latest podcasts here tonight for you to enjoy.

I'm still adding content but I have just released my podcast store. You can visit the store here: http://www.infidelguy.com/store

I have been working long and hard creating this, (by popular request), so I hope it's utilized. Tons of updates and I have over 300 more shows to add. I'll be adding more shows throughout the night.

If there are any shows that are not displayed yet. I will add those shows by request. In order words.. if there is a show that's not up yet that you wish to purchase.. I'll stop everything and get that up for you immediately.

Email me at: infidelguy@infidelguy.com with your requests. I hope to add 2 or 3 shows to the remaining categories tonight. All remaining shows should be added within 2 weeks.

I hope to release special video features and surprise interviews and lectures here as well so stay tuned.

-- Reggie Finley - The Infidel Guy

As of today, podcasts of The Infidel Guy show will no longer be updated regularly. Although podcasting has granted IG some small exposure.. it has cost me a great financial loss. I was hoping that my losses would be recouped via some advertising. That has not panned out.

Since I started podcasting my most recent shows... I have lost over $5,000 in annual revenue, and the amount of unsubscribes continue to rise averaging 3 a day. 10 of my unsubscribes confessed that they see no reason to continue to subscribe if they can get my most recent 25 to 30 shows for free via the podcast.

This is unacceptable as there will be no InfidelGuy is this continues.. at the current rate of unsubscribes, I'll be penniless in 3 months. Sorry.. but I am cancelling my regularly posted podcasts from now on.

I will be employing a new pay-per-download system soon which some listeners may find attractive.. don't forget that you can also become a gold member and save. Currently, going gold works out to about 2 cents a download.

Consider subscribing today: http://www.infidelguy.com/subscribe.html

Again, I am NOT getting rid of the podcast, just not offering downloads as often.

You know it's funny... I had a listener of mine tell me that I was making a grave mistake by NOT posting my podcasts more regularly... that essentially I was "stupid" to NOT do so. Looks like I was right all along and stupid for listening to this guy in the first place.
