Interview with Edward Falzon
Ethan sits down in the Radio Free Thinker virtual studio with Edward Falzon. Falzon is the author of “Being gay is disgusting or God love’s the smell of burning fat”.
From Genesis to Deuteronomy, ‘Being Gay is Disgusting’ captures the essence of the Bible in the most modern and inappropriate way possible. Creation, the Flood, Joseph’s cool dreams, escape from Egypt and the long and surprisingly gruesome story of Moses. And won’t it be nice to be able to have a semi-intelligent discussion about the Old Testament with your God-fearing friends! — “Falzon highlights the convenient rewrites and cherry-picking that others have done to cause harm. Cunning and funny, everyone is fair game here.” (Instinct Magazine)

Skeptical Highlights:
Death of Evidence
The ‘Death of Evidence’ rally will take place on July 10 to coincide with a large scientific conference taking place in Ottawa. The demonstration will entail a funeral procession from the Ottawa Convention Centre commencing at 12 noon, followed by a rally at Parliament Hill.
If you are fed up with the closure of federal scientific programs and muzzling of scientists, if you think that decisions should be based on evidence and facts instead of ideology, then please come out and show your support.
Keep an Eye open: TD Bank’s closing of Iranian-Canadian accounts
TD has sent letters to clients whose accounts it has closed telling them that under recent changes to the Special Economic Measures (Iran) Regulation, Canadian financial institutions are forbidden from providing financial services to anyone in Iran or for the benefit of Iran. It appears no other Canadian bank has taken the same action as TD and why is this not on the CBC Web News?
