		<title>When the Godless-in-Chicago-Mobile Comes into Town&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned the ther day how atheist Rob Sherman was going to ride his Godless-in-Chicago-Mobile around town during local parades.

The picture may be Photoshopped, but the mobile does really exist.
And Rob did indeed drive it around.  
The reaction wasn&#8217;t very pleasant.  You can hear the boos&#8230; 

Unless he was running over cute puppies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Camp Quest UK Article Addressed by Dawkins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, The Sunday Times published a series of mistake-ridden articles about Camp Quest UK.  The most gratuitous error was the headline for the main article:

Dawkins sets up kids’ camp to groom atheists

Not only was Richard Dawkins not running the camp (he only made a small donation to it), it most certainly does not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ask Richard: Arabian Nights, American Days</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I don&#8217;t know how much expertise you have when it comes to Islam and the Middle East, but here goes.  I&#8217;m in the very beginning stages of what I suspect will develop into a relationship with a guy from Saudi Arabia.

		<title>What&#8217;s Always Included in Your &#8220;Atheist Testimonial&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an atheist, you&#8217;re probably used to someone asking, &#8220;Why are you an atheist?&#8221;
Depending on who is doing the asking, and what their motivation might be, you may end up giving 10 different stories to 10 different people.  You&#8217;re never lying, but you may focus on different elements of the story for each person.

		<description><![CDATA[Atheists get some wonderful press in the most recent edition of The Nation.

		<title>A Survival Story with a Logical Survivor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reader Shawn sent me this article after he noticed a couple interesting lines.
The setup: Juliane Koepcke is getting aboard a flight with her mother on Christmas Eve in 1971:

The flight was supposed to last for less than an hour and for the first 25 minutes everything was fine, Koepcke recalled.

		<title>What Are Your Atheist Dating Stories?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the SSA conference in August, I plan to give a talk on Atheism and Dating.
Specifically, I&#8217;d like to discuss whether an atheist and theist couple can make things work.  Should they consider dating at all?  Or should we try to avoid that at all costs? 
If you&#8217;ve made a theist/atheist relationship work, [...]]]></description>
