Episode 643 – The Case Against Jesus
This week we have guest Barabbas Jones joining us to talk about his new book – The Case Against Jesus. A lot of Christians like to talk about what a good person Jesus was but was he really? Barabbas read all the gospels and he has some opinions about how great this Jesus guy really […]
Episode 640 – The Ten Commandments
Believe it or not, we made it all the way to 640 episodes without ever looking at the Ten Commandments. With states requiring they be posted in classrooms, we thought we ought to take a look at how effective the commandments are in living a moral and/or ethical life. There are, of course, many versions […]
Episode 639 – The Rise of Christofacism
This week’s episode takes a look at the rise of Christofacism in America. It started before the 1980’s but everyone’s favorite President got that thing going and – well – here we are. Guest Jeff Grapevine joins us to discuss the growth of the Christian right as a political movement in the US.
Episode 632 – Catholicism to Antitheism
This week we are joined by our friend Fes Works to talk about his journey from Catholicism all the way to antitheism. As with several of our ex Catholic listeners (and hosts), he had a stop at Paganism on the way! It’s always nice to listen to how people arrive at their non belief because […]
Episode 612 – Death Without God
Sorry we skipped a week but we had a good reason – Tim’s mom died! And while that sucks, it gives us a great opportunity to talk about the experience of losing a loved one of faith and having to deal with all that faith stuff while you are grieving and that faith stuff means […]
Episode 608 – Atheist Confessional
We had a guest cancel at the last minute this week so we had to come up with a topic in a hurry. We decided to check in as far as where we are with being atheists compared to where we were when we started this podcast almost 13 years ago. It never hurts to […]
Episode 607 – He Gets Us
This week, we are talking about the billion (with a B) dollar ad campaign called He Gets Us. They had ads during the last two Super Bowls and have a big presence on Reddit. It seems to be a nice, friendly kind of Christianity but is it really?
Episode 606 – Gramps Goes to College
This week, we are discussing a Christian movie so bad, it makes God is Dead look like an Oscar worth film. Gramps Goes to College, suggested by former friend of the show Jeremy Stomberg, is a badly written, badly filmed, and badly acted story about a 62 year old computer programmer who is a chess […]
Episode 594 – Rise of the Nones
This week we are joined once again by Professor Dave Rand-McKay! He teaches Human Geography and is here to talk to us about the rise of young people who identify as having no religion. It is a trend that is growing among all religions and across the entire world. So what does that mean for […]
Episode 560 – Evangelism and Politics
This week, we are re-joined by Scott Lohman, who is affectionately referred to as our Star Trek expert. He joins us not to talk about Star Trek but rather about the growth of the Religious right as a political movement in America. Since the 1960’s, the religious right has been consolidating power and gaining more […]
