Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Zoroaster hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience! Not sure who this Zoroaster feller is? Well, he’s not a horse riding, sword fighting hero of the people — he’s actually kind of a douche. Find out more at http://atheism101podcast.com Shea’s Life Lesson

The third review, thanks again for being the best podcast. I rate podcast like most things in life. “Would I drink a beer with this person or with these people”, and the answer is an overwhelming “yes”. Keep up the great work and for the love of beer, y’all get healthy. I don’t like beer but still, like this podcast
by: BB_Spiky (United Kingdom)
A group of like-minded friends sit and put the world to rights over a beer. Love the podcast and the interplay between them. Cheers!
David the “Ox” - Raised a challenge responding to Jenn’s mention that since we live at altitude, we can likely out-drink our sea-level living listeners. He also sent a really nice photo with of he and his wife.
“I am responding to your challenge about being able to drink more when y’all visit the reason con. Something about the altitude or some nonsense like that. Well, challenge accepted. Bring it on.”
This heavy drinker (Thinker?) then proceeded to show us a whole bunch of the beers he was drinking. We have our work cut out for us at ReasonCon. Another message from Josh saying,
“Loving episode 117, listening to it while getting ready for work. I have to say, I love the constantly changing backgrounds. Who is in charge of that edit? A Beautiful touch.”

House votes stupidly, again, and not for the last time (probably this week) - http://cnn.it/2kO3q8V

  • The regulation required the SSA to disclose to the national gun background check system info about people with mental illness specifically, information about those who are considered incapable of managing their own disability benefits due mental illness
  • Rep. Kevin Brady (idiot Republican from Texas) said,
“The Social Security Administration not only overstepped its mission with this regulation, it discriminated against certain Americans with disabilities who receive Social Security benefits. The agency should be focused on serving all of its beneficiaries, not picking and choosing whose Second Amendment rights to deny.”
  • The NRA-backed bill is expected to sail through the senate.

This Week’s Stories

Shea’s Patreon Story - http://patreon.com/w4w Church of England apologizes after trainee priest gives service in Polari - http://bbc.in/2kNYSPX
  • The service at the chapel of Westcott House in Cambridge was to commemorate LGBT history month by doing the service in the antiquated gay slang language of Polari. The congregation was told the use of the lexicon was an attempt to “queer the liturgy of evening prayer”.
  • Polari is thought to have originated in Victorian London but fell out of use as homosexuality began to be decriminalized in England in the 1960s.
  • While they had been given permission to hold a service to commemorate LGBT history month, a Church of England source said the college chaplain had not seen the wording of the service.
  • The translation was based on the Polari bible, a work compiled as a project in 2003 by the self-styled Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. http://bit.ly/2kNZsxc
  • Polari is a form of cant slang used in Britain by some actors, circus and fairground showmen, merchant navy sailors, criminals, prostitutes, and the gay subculture.
  • A cant (or cryptolect) is the jargon or argot of a group, often employed to exclude or mislead people outside the group.
  • An Old Testament reading from the Prophet Joel which says “rend your heart and not your garments, return to the Lord your God” was printed in Polari as “rend your thumping chest and not your frocks - and turn unto the Duchess your Gloria: for she is bona and merciful”.
  • Instead of the traditional “Glory be to the father, and to the son, and the Holy Spirit” the prayer offered was: “Fabeness be to the Auntie, and to the Homie Chavvie, and to the Fantabulosa Fairy”.
  • Services in the Church of England are legally required to be conducted using the church’s approved liturgy. The principal of Westcott House, the Rev Canon Chris Chivers, said the liturgy of the service had not been authorized for use.
  • He said
“I fully recognize that the contents of the service are at variance with the doctrine and teaching of the Church of England and that is hugely regrettable.”Inevitably for some members of the house, this caused considerable upset and disquiet and I have spoken at length to those involved in organizing the service.”I will be reviewing and tightening the internal mechanisms of the house to ensure this never happens again.”
Patreon Story The Furred Reich: The truth about Nazi furries and the alt-right - http://bit.ly/2kO2mSy
  • People who dress up as animals are adopting Nazi-style iconography and calling themselves “alt-furry”.
  • 29-year-old Foxler Nightfire of Fort Collins Co. has faced a torrent of online abuse after posting a picture of himself dressed as a fox on the social network Twitter.\ furries – people who dress up as animals, occasionally for sexual purposes – often face criticism, but this time it is something other than Foxler’s fur-suit (known as a “fursona” – fur persona)\ On his left arm, he is wearing a red armband, emblazoned with a white circle, in which sits a black symbol
  • “It’s obviously not a swastika,” claims Foxler – who also insists his furry name is a portmanteau of “Fox” and his real surname, “Miller”, not “Hitler”, as many online argue. Foxler says he first began wearing the armband – which features a paw print in place of a swastika – after he dropped out of high school and started playing the online role-playing game Second Life, in which the band was available as a character accessory.
“I didn’t take any consideration because of my lack of World War Two knowledge,” he says. “I don’t think I could ever take it off at this point, it’s so ingrained into my character, my fursona.”
  • Foxler has made on YouTube, in which he says “I hate black people” and “I stand by Hitler”.
  • Foxler admits he made these comments but tells me he was just “trolling”.
“When people started calling me out a few years ago, I started to troll real Nazis and see how would they react to furry that aligns with them,” he says over Twitter. “What I got out of it was ‘go die you mutt’, reason I could never support people like that.” I ask him, does he hate black people? “Their [sic] two parts to that one, in my normal day life not at all,” he says.”But in my personal sexual life ‘I don’t like any race’, which means I wouldn’t sleep with black man [sic]. Now my boyfriend is mix black/Asian. I sleep with him just fine, when I was young I use [sic] to be anti-gay. So why the change? It’s because he [sic] not a ‘human’; to me when I look at him. He [sic] a blue wolf.”
  • In 2005, a LiveJournal page was created for those who were both furries and fetishised Nazi uniforms. Since then the group has spread, with illustrations and roleplays across the internet. There is now even an erotic novel, The Furred Reich, available to buy on Amazon.
“There is not one thing that people refer to when they say ‘#AltFurry’,” says Qu Qu, a man in his late twenties who identifies as a “Pooka” (a shapeshifter) and considers himself the leader of the alt-furry movement. “I rule with an iron fist and crush dissenters beneath myfootpaws,” “The furry ‘community’ is a fandom that has been overrun by liberal ‘tolerance’ and ‘acceptance’ and as aresultit’s becomesanctuaryto hardcorepaedophilesand people with serious mental problems,” he claims. “The furry fandom needs to become more vigilant, and having a right wing is a big part of that.”

Scientists Open Their Labs to Colleagues Stranded by Trump’s Immigration Ban - http://theatln.tc/2kO9qPn
  • More than 380 people have signed a list volunteering their facilities to American-based researchers who are stuck outside the U.S.
  • Jürgen Kleine-Vehn, a plant scientist based in Austria, had just read about the story of Samira Asgari, one of many Iranian scientists affected by President Trump’s executive order banning citizens of seven redominantly Muslim countries from entering the U.S. On Saturday, Asgari was headed to Boston to start a postdoctoral fellowship on tuberculosis, but was prevented from boarding a plane in Frankfurt. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of scientists have been similarly affected, as I reported on Sunday.
“I cannot believe what is happening,” Kleine-Vehntweeted.
  • After talking to Nordborg, Maria Leptin, the director of the European Molecular Biology Organization, decided to collate the offers of help.
“I felt that words are one thing, but we need deeds,” she says. “I thought: Let’s get people together and do it in a big way.” And EMBO was the perfect organization for it; it’s a prestigious network of European biologists, and one of its goals is specifically to “enable international exchange between scientists.”
  • On Tuesday evening, EMBO launched the Science Solidarity List—a register of “scientists offering temporary bench or desk space, library access and possibly even accommodation for U.S.-based scientists who have stranded abroad,” due to Trump’s executive order. It’s like a Craigslist for the marooned.
  • Most are based in Europe, but others are offering lab space in Canada, Israel, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Singapore, India, Brazil, and China.
“This has obviously struck a nerve,” says Leptin. “[The immigration ban] contravenes anything that science stands for, the international spirit of science. We feel sorry for the scientists who are affected, and all the labs in the U.S. who don’t want this.”
