    How much you want to bet this station never has a bad word to say about Islam and Muslims?

    Evangelical atheists are so brave.

    I hope they do. Their idiotic dogma is as laughable as Christianity.

    Not going to happen. Worldwide outrage and protests came as the result of South Park having Muhammad dressed in a bear suit.

    I can't imagine black and death metal vocalists having very long careers. After screaming like that for two hours a night their throats have to be hamburger. Ian Gillan of Deep Purple used to hit screams like no one, but that didn't last for him long:

    Does atheism have a genre they can play on their channel. I can't think of one. Just stale videos of atheism conferences.

    Comedy Central won't show South Park's 200th episode which deals with Islam. They also bleep the words "The Prophet Mohammed" in all other episodes. They of course have no problem showing the episode "Are You There God? It's Me Jesus."

    One comes with harsh criticism, while the other could create situation where a plane is flown into the building or bodies are drug out in the street tortured, cattle prodded, and/or burned beyond recognition or beheaded.

    As an atheist, I predict this channel will crash and burn.

    Its like having a channel dedicated to people who do not collect stamps.

    I really hope they can find some personalities like TBN has. Benny Hinn, that old lady whose been dead for a decade but still on TV, Pat Robertson. I want to see all the "Bam! And you've been healed by nature! I feel the science in here! Put your money in the box and help out the, well there is no God but I want a new palace next to Benny Hinns so donate today for your, well its not salvation, and its my mansion."

    Guess it wouldnt work so well when you're not tricking people with religion.

    Strange, I also can not figure out what they would discuss on the air for 24/7? What a waste of money and air time.

    That's because Comedy Central doesn't want their studio/headquarters blown to smithereens.

    Sorry Mr. Silverman, you can shmooze with the goyim, marry the shikse
    and deny your Jewishness, but you're throwing your Orthodox brethren under the bus.

    You are nothing more than a self-hating shmendrik.

    But the atheists would have us believe there is no real difference between Bible-believing Christians and Koran-believing Muslims.

    You'll recognize it's demise when they air the Ten Commandments on Easter Sunday.

    There's a golf channel.

    The biggest tragedy was when the History channel was overrun by Pawn Stars and American Pickers. Luckily History International hasn't been completely overrun.

    Yet.

    Atheist channel? Is it just gonna be a blank screen? This concept makes no sense.

    Oh. I thought that was al Jazeera for most and everything else for Muslims. :)

    How dare you, infidel! Lilith isn't a common succubus whore. She is the matriarch of the 6th Layer of Hell!

    Well, I respect you for not celebrating the channel.
    By the way, you just haven't discovered the definition of God that makes sense. There is one though, and when you discover it, you'll no longer be an atheist, and be happy about it.

    But I ain't tellin' (not at this point, anyway).

    - - - Updated - - -

    Would you find it more distasteful to realize that you're full of fear, or to realize that you're full of hate?

    Just wondering.

    So, if Christians resorted to Muslim tactics, they'd be left alone too?

    Most likely. That wasn't a request though.

    It's an interesting concept, although I have to agree Neil DeGrasse-Tyson...

    "It's odd that the word 'atheist' even exists. I don't play golf. Is there a word for non-golf players? Do they gather and strategize? I can't do that. I can't gather around and talk about how much everybody in the room doesn't believe in God."

    Unrelated to the OP, but while I have an audience I'd like to announce my plan to start my own cable TV channel.

    "I don't understand Cricket, and I don't want to"

    aka
    WTF is Cricket all about?

    It will run 24/7 and consist of round table discussions with both sporting experts and celebrities having the central theme of the profundities surrounding the game of Cricket. A game wherein the match can last several days and having a rule book that would make the Encyclopedia Britannica look like Cliff notes.

    *read as sarcasm*
