    The Non-Prophets, Episode 25.2.3 featuring Stephen Harder, Blind Limey, & Jimmy Jr

    Hollywood has a new cash cow, and his name is Jesus. As studios scramble for post-COVID relevance, they’ve traded superheroes for the "chosen" ones, grossing hundreds of millions by turning ancient dogmas into bingeable blockbusters. We’re dissecting the "happy gauze" applied to biblical atrocities and the rise of masculine religion vs. feminine spirituality on screen. From Avatar’s blue-tinted woo to the thirst for religious sequels, it’s clear the industry cares less about salvation than the bottom line. It turns out even the Son of God needs a high-budget filter to be marketable.

    Pope Leo XIV is suddenly very concerned that the world is too violent, which is rich coming from the leader of history's wealthiest criminal organization. While he decries the erosion of human life, it’s mostly just a Trojan horse to smuggle in anti-choice dogma and play to "end times" fantasies. We’re dissecting the selective outrage that ignores secular suffering while demanding moral authority the Vatican forfeited centuries ago. If the Church actually cared about peace, they’d trade their gold chalices for boots on the ground instead of just offering more holy lip service.

    As religion bleeds followers, it’s looking for a digital transfusion from the high-tech elite. We're dissecting the rise of techno-cults, the Vatican’s desperate attempt to regulate AI with its Antiqua et Nova policy, and why tech bros like Peter Thiel are now becoming guest speakers at megachurch revivals. It turns out that when you can’t get answers from a burning bush, a large language model that tells you exactly what you want to hear is the next best thing. Silicon Valley is building the new gods of a digital age where faith and profit finally merge.

    The ancient human instinct for tribalism, initially a tool for cooperative survival, has been twisted into a modern social weapon amplified by instant media. We analyze how the evolutionary drive for in-group safety feeds destructive political polarization, transforming communal bonding into fierce "us vs. them" conflicts. This dynamic allows manipulative leaders to exploit fear, hoard resources, and use identity—including religion—as a relentless social cudgel in the ongoing culture war.

    A student's ridiculous claim of religious discrimination after flunking a mandatory psychology assignment in Oklahoma reveals the cynical conservative playbook: leveraging academic failure into highly profitable Christian victimhood, turning zeroes into thousands in donor cash. This fabricated outrage, aggressively championed by her conservative "stage mom" and state politicians, targets trans educators and undermines university standards across the nation. We break down how the modern culture war weaponizes religious identity, demonstrating that for the far right, fundamentalist belief is simply a lucrative political tool used only to attack perceived enemies. This brazen spectacle proves that performative hypocrisy is the new currency of the Christian nationalist movement.

    High-control religious groups exploit gendered social programming, effectively priming women for coercive control via enforced submission, isolation, and lack of agency. This critical discussion draws sick parallels between traditional feminine roles and cult dynamics, noting how manufactured obedience prevents critical thinking and makes escaping high-control environments virtually impossible. We expose the insidious tactics like "love bombing" and false empowerment that strip genuine agency and trap people in cycles of destructive dogma.
