I regret to inform everyone that due to family considerations, my state of mind, and work requirements the Deism Podcast is now on hiatus until sometime in the near future. I promise that when the time is right there will be further episodes. The current episodes will still be available via the Deism Podcast Blog and iTunes.
Currently the arduous production requirements for recording, creating, and posting a podcast are taking up a considerable amount of my time. I want to redirect this valuable time and use it to maintain and expand this blog. I envision this blog as a place where all Deists can converse on subjects near and dear to all of us, not just Deism. Deism will always remain the primary focus, but Deists are thinkers; we have interests in science, history, humanities, art, and literature. I want this blog to be a place were all Deists can take part in the growth of Deism and Reason based thought.
Hopefully, I will find other members of the Deism community who will want to become contributors to this blog, like Dan and I. If you think that you might be interested, please send me an email by using the link at the bottom of this post. Once this blog becomes more self sufficient and fulfills my goals I will return to producing more podcasts. If there is any member of the community who would like to submit audio for the podcast, I would be happy to produce and post a new episode from time to time. I look forward to any new comers to the community, and please do not be shy. There are many ways to become active on Deism For the Modern Mind, such as through comments and emails.
The only thing that I will not tolerate on this blog is intolerance. All individuals are free to make there own decisions in life. This does not mean that this blog supports every decision, it only supports an individual's right to make their own decisions. Obviously, Dan's last post makes it pretty clear of where we stand on the topic of the revealed religions, but this does not mean that followers of the revealed religions are not welcome here. Actually, just the opposite is true, we welcome the challenge, the dialog, and the debate.
Well, that ended up being a little more long winded than I anticipated, but rest assured this blog is here to stay and I hope grow significantly in the future. And I will return to posting The Deism Podcast on a regular schedule as soon as time permits.

I want it to be known that I strongly support separation of church and state and the right of individuals to participate, or to not participate, in organized religion. Intolerance is divisive, and divisiveness should not be tolerated. Always, we should seek to move from dissonance to harmony and should remind ourselves and others that doing so is a shared responsibility. Part of that responsibility is to tell others where disharmony exists; part of that responsibility is to listen to others tell us where disharmony exists. Then we must tolerate the dissonance while we seek a peaceful solution. Not seeking a solution would require tolerating the divisive permanently. That would be possible if everyone were tolerant. Too often, however, unresolved dissonance creates an unstable situation fraught with peril.
