Ep. 80 – Telling People You Don’t Believe In God

We’ve been asked lately by a number of people how, when, or if they should tell their families they no longer believe in God.

This is our attempt to answer that question.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

You Put Your Faith in People Instead of God

It’s that classic question you get when you mention all the damage churches have done, “that’s because you shouldn’t put your trust in people, you should put your trust in God.”

Oh cool, but like are we going to do anything about the bad people in the church or am I just supposed to feel guilty for trusting wrong.

Ep. 79 – Christians and Slavery

Christian apologists have defended over and over again why the bible defends slavery, or at least try to argue why it doesn’t, but what does the bible actually say?

How did Christian slave owners in America justify owning humans? And why do so many Christians still defend Confederate monuments today?

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

Ep. 78 – Preacher Scandals 2

In this episode we talk more about those awful religious leaders who took advantage of people, broke the law, were just kinda shady, or were plain old hypocrites.

We talk Carl Lentz, Ravi Zacharias, John Crist, and so on and so forth. They’re gross dudes.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

We Aren’t Just Angry

It can be really frustrating when you are discussing your deconstruction and someone interrupts and says that you are just angry.

Why does this happen so much? Is there any truth to it? Is it helpful to the conversation?

Ep. 77 – God and Gender

This episode is all about christians and their views on gender. We talk about outdated and insane gender roles, strange dress codes, and the ordination of women.

We also discuss their reaction to trans people existing and which churches are more ok with that than others.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

What You Don’t Lose When You Lose Your Faith

People like to tell you that life without God is hopeless, joyless, meaningless, and without morals. I’m here to tell you that’s not true and you are going to be ok.

Ep. 76 – The John 3:16 Guy

You’ve seen the John 3:16 signs at sports games but do you know who started that whole thing? It was all thanks to a man named Rollen Stewart aka Rockin Rollin aka Raibow Man aka The John 3:16 guy.

We discuss his heartbreaking early life, his passion for getting attention at large sporting events, his revelation that this was his mission, and his tragic run ins with the law

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

You Are Not The Chosen One

When you grow up religious or with any supernatural worldview there can be immense pressure to discover your purpose or God’s plan for your life.

What if that’s not the most important thing? What if it’s ok not to be the chosen one?
