Oh no, not another evil, gay, communist, socialist atheist podcast! Well, one out of five ain't bad. Welcome to a place for criticisms of religion and monotheistic apologetics with occasional forays into philosophy, science, and politics that are religiously adjacent; whatever suits my fancy during those occasions I get bored critiquing B.S. Enjoy!

    Is God Outside of Time?

    Can a God exist outside of time? It's one of the most common claims made by theists—but does it actually make sense? Today, Joseph examines the popular assertion that God exists "outside of space and time" and explores whether that idea holds up under philosophical scrutiny. From St. Augustine's influence on Christian theology to the logical implications of atemporality, omniscience, free will, and prayer, arguing that this concept raises far more questions than it answers.

    Did God Create Evil?

    Did God create evil? If God existed before everything else, where did evil come from—and can God ultimately avoid responsibility for its existence? In this episode, Joseph examines one of the most challenging questions in theology and philosophy: the origin of evil and the questions it raises: If God created the universe knowing that moral evil would occur, does that make Him responsible for creating the conditions that allow suffering, sin, and injustice?

    The Morality of an Atheist

    Do atheists really have no moral foundation? And if theists have objective morality, why don't they agree on what it actually is? In this episode of Noah's Snark, Joseph examines one of the most common apologetic claims made by Christian and Muslim defenders of religion: that atheists can only have subjective morality while believers possess an objective moral standard. The reality is far messier. Religious believers routinely disagree over what their own scriptures mean, often interpreting them in ways that conveniently align with their personal values, denominations, or desires. If morality is truly objective and divinely revealed, why is there so much disagreement over what God supposedly commands? Joseph also explains his own moral framework, discussing the differences between the Golden Rule and the often-overlooked Negative Golden Rule (Silver Rule), and explores why empathy and restraint may provide a more beneficial and practical ethical foundation than divine command theory.

    Are We Wired to Believe False Things?

    In the Season 3 premiere of Noah's Snark, Joseph explores a troubling question: are human beings naturally predisposed to believe false things? Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, cognitive biases, and skepticism, he examines the many ways our brains distort reality—from optical illusions and faulty memory to pattern-seeking, overconfidence, and post-hoc rationalizations. This episode challenges common claims about intelligent design by asking why a supposedly well-designed brain is so vulnerable to error. AJV argues that humans are often driven more by emotion, social narratives, and personal desires than by evidence and reason, making false beliefs not an exception but a predictable feature of human cognition. Are we wired for truth—or merely for survival? And if our brains evolved to solve problems rather than discover objective reality, what does that mean for religion, politics, and modern society?
