    Pastor Mark Driscoll has weird obsession with gay people, and more | Podcast 305

    In this podcast…
    Pastor Mark Driscoll has some bizarre obsession with gender and gay people. I don’t know what’s going on with this guy, but he talks about it more than I do. And it’s my literal job to sit here and sift through right wing extremist news. That’s saying something.

    I’m sad to say that Richard Dawkins has completely lost the plot. He used to be considered a strong atheist, and has been responsible for a lot of atheists leaving religion behind. His comments on a British radio show are absolutely bizarre. I don’t know where his head is anymore.

    Anti-trans propaganda is getting absolutely bizarre. Seriously. When is it too painfully stupid and transparent for the far right to accept? Is there a limit to this? My god. You have to listen to this video.

    I got a new soundboard... and honestly I need very little excuse to cover my favorite video of all time. Bill O'Riley losing his mind because he doesn't understand what is written on the teleprompter. Let's all enjoy this gem together.

    The far right is VERY upset to find that trans visibility day, which has existed for 15 years, overlapped with easter this year. Wokeists struck again to make this happen. Can’t be coincidence. It won’t happen again until 2086, but you can bet they planned that one, too.

    Elijah Schaffer is… wild. He used to be part of a big network of conservative voices. Now I think he’s flying solo. He popped off with stuff you wouldn’t even believe. Let’s talk about it.

    "Prophet" of God and Trump Pastor Hank Kunneman got his start praying for Trump to win the election. Let’s take a look back at some of the wild stuff this guy said. I found some clips from 6 years ago. This guy is something else.

    Charlie Kirk repeats Nazi propaganda, Republican never-ending fear campaign, ... | Podcast 303

    In this podcast…
    Shane Vaughn just said some of the most racist stuff i think ive ever heard in my life about supreme court justice ketanji brown jackson. it was wild.

    Candace Owens was fired from the Daily Wire. I’m honestly surprised it took so long. Let’s talk about why, in my opinion, she was fired.

    Let’s talk about the never-ending fear campaign republicans are running to keep the outrage machine churning. It’s a fascinating process to watch, and a valuable learning experience.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene just tried to kick Mike Johnson out as speaker of the house. I love everything about it. The republicans are causing never-ending chaos for each other and I’m eating it up.

    West Virginia evolution debate, Lindell has lost the plot, ... | Podcast 302

    In this podcast…
    A West Virginia state representative recently talked about evolution and how fake it is. There are a crazy number of state representatives going absolutely nuts right now.

    Mike Lindell has a new court filing to announce. He says hes about to release evidence to the world. Well, the evidence has apparently released and surprise surprise, it’s meaningless.

    I found a clip of him all the way from the 1970s saying everybody believed he was a scam artist. I wonder if this christian nationalist thing hes doing is another scam.

    the failed kansas experiment, antisemitism from stew peters, and more | Podcast 301

    In this podcast…
    Sam Brownback, previously the governor of Kansas, is the guy who singlehandedly proved republican ideals are a complete facade. The world has known that trickle down economics is nonsense for years, but this guy actually tried it in Kansas. When it failed miserably, he was practically exiled from the public eye. Until now.

    A guy named Mark Robinson just won the republican nomination for governor of North Carolina. Up to now, he’s been the lieutenant governor. He is absolutely unglued from reality. Let’s talk about exactly how.

    Stew Peters is antisemitic. I dont say that lightly. I’m on Palestine’s side right now. Israel has gone off the rails. But here are real, genuine, psychotic, antisemitic nutcases running loose and blaming jews for everything right now. It is absolutely insane.

    "Trump is my god", anti-trans televangelists, and more | Podcast 300

    In this podcast…
    There’s a far-right talk-show host named Josh Bernstein. He’s been around for years, but he’s making a splash again, so it’s worth it to look at some of his videos to see what he’s all about. Spoiler alert: it’s insane.

    Pastor Shane Vaughn has a perfect explanation for why God sent Donald Trump. It’s because satan sent Barack Obama, so god had to send an equally as extreme nutcase to even things out. Makes perfect sense, right?

    Televangelist Jack Hibbs just endorsed a political candidate from the pulpit. FFRF is going after him for it. But that’s not the first example of it. Surprisingly, or not so surprisingly, Hibbs has been endorsing political candidates from the pulpit for a very long time. Let’s talk about his sordid history with political candidates, successful and failed.

    This week, we’ll be talking about nex Benedict.

Telltale is a GOAT

Owen is one of the best and most ethical presenters I have ever seen.

Ex-Catholic expert lacks credibility

The woman who is considered the expert on Catholicism in the “Is the Catholic Church a Cult?” episode isn’t familiar enough with Catechism to be a reliable source. I, too, am an ex-Catholic (for a multitude of reasons) and was deeply indoctrinated in the faith. Based on what I was taught as a Catholic, several of her observations about the religion are too lenient. For instance, Lent is serious business down her in the Bible Belt and people make serious sacrifices to get into God’s good graces - it’s ridiculous. Not only are people expected to follow dietary restrictions during Lent, but they’re also expected to fast on certain days during Ordinary Time. And fellow parishioners and Catholic school teachers will “tell on you” if you don’t. I could go on and on, but please know this episode would’ve been more powerful if you’d had a more knowledgeable ex-Catholic with some real insight into the Church and Catechism because, yes, the Catholic Church is absolutely a cult. I mean, the woman on your episode doesn’t even pronounce “Catholicism” correctly. If you’re going to go after a religion, find an educated and reliable source.

This is my FAVORITE atheist podcast.

This is my main way of keeping up with the Christian nationalists.
