If we accept that the human species is the end result of a long process of evolution, rather than the result of a unique act of divine creation, does it make sense to claim that the “purpose” of human sex is procreation? In this week’s episode, Dan makes his case (again!) for why a naturalistic, evolutionary account of human origins makes the claim that the purpose of sex is procreation non-sensical. Give this week’s episode a listen to find out why.

    Subscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus content most Mondays, bonus episodes every month, ad-free listening, access to the entire 700-episode archive, Discord access, and more: https://axismundi.supercast.com/ Enter code “SWAJ40” for $40 for an entire year of premium! “The purpose of sex is procreation.” This assertion has been a dominant Christian position for centuries, and plays a central role in the ideologies of sex, sexuality, and gender within contemporary high-control American religion. But is it actually plausible? In this episode, Dan argues that if we think about how we actually talk about and experience sex and sexuality, and if we consider the natural sexual and gender diversity of the human population, it simply doesn’t make sense to define the procreation as the “purpose” of sex.

    Subscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus content most Mondays, bonus episodes every month, ad-free listening, access to the entire 700-episode archive, Discord access, and more: https://axismundi.supercast.com/ Brad gives a preview of his new book by discussing how some of Trump's tactics and myths are comparable to what Hitler used to gain power in Germany. Brad is careful to point out that his comparison is just that - a comparison. He is not arguing that Trump and Hitler are identical. Rather, his argument is that Trump's Big Lie and the myth that the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago was unconstitutional and illegal are resonant with the Stab-in-the-Back myths Hitler used in Germany to convince his followers that their country had been stolen from them and only he could return it to glory.
