Episode 514 – An Interview with God
This week, we watched “An Interview with God” starring David Straithairn. Straithairn has also appeared in the Bourne Ultimatum, which is a good movie.

Episode 415 – Reopening Churches

Episode 393 – Hiding Your Atheism
This week we are joined by frequent guest Eric Thompson, who wanted to talk about when it makes sense to hid your atheism. We’ve been strong proponents of being public and proud but are there times where it makes more sense to keep your non belief to yourself? Maybe you just need to do some […]
