http://www.irreligiosophy.com en-us ℗ & © 2009 Irreligiosophy.com The One True Podcast Irreligiosophy Irreligiosophy means "the wisdom of irreligion" -- it is about questioning dogmas handed down uncritically to us and researching into the history, practice, and theology of various religions. Religious claims are scrutinized with a skeptical eye and placed in historical perspective, with an emphasis on pagan precursors (especially Egyptian and Greek) to current beliefs and practices. We focus on Christianity because that is the religion that we are most familiar with and confronted by in our daily lives. A podcast about the wisdom of irreligion, and all that entails.

We discuss two LDS articles on how to overcome the evils of masturbation, directed for some reason to Mormon males only. Two elderly men help us all out by giving such advice as to avoid admiring oneself in the mirror, leave the bathroom door open while taking showers, and to wear tight clothing to sleep in order to avoid wanking in a semi-sleep condition.

We cover a broad array of topics, ranging from the New Testament borrowing material from the Old, Josephus and the Testimonium Flavianum, and just who was this Jesus character anyway, and how wmuch can we really know about him. A fascinating discussion with a fascinating guest. http://www.irreligiosophy.com/podcasts/038_bobprice.mp3 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT 01:06:50 bob, robert, price, atheist, atheism, deconversion, irreligosophy, irreligousophy, ireligiosophy, irrelligiosophy, skeptic, skeptical, skepticism, sceptic, sceptical, scepticism Irreligiosophy Rednecks get haunted out of their walnut-sized brains In honor of Halloween, we tackle some popular ghost stories. First up is "A Haunting in Georgia," a tale about a little girl who sees dead people, the Oxford-trained parapsychologist who fails to help them, the two psychics who fail to help them, and a fat preacher who fails to help them. Yeah, after all that, they're still haunted. Maybe all they really need is a good counselor. http://www.irreligiosophy.com/podcasts/039_georgia.mp3 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:00:00 GMT 00:55:25 haunting, georgia, redneck, south, atheist, atheism, deconversion, irreligosophy, irreligousophy, ireligiosophy, irrelligiosophy, skeptic, skeptical, skepticism, sceptic, sceptical, scepticism Irreligiosophy Atheist News Network #31 After a long, Satan-worshipping absence, we're back with stories about the idiot Vatican's views on Halloween, some idiot Christian's views on Halloween, and our very own idiot Senator Orrin Hatch's measure to include prayer as a form of medical treatment in his health reform bill. http://www.irreligiosophy.com/ann/ann31.m4a Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:00:00 GMT 00:19:39 halloween, orrin, hatch, prayer, health, atheist, atheism, deconversion, irreligosophy, ireligiosophy, irrelligiosophy, skeptic, skeptical, skeptic, skeptical, skepticism, sceptic, sceptical, scepticism Irreligiosophy The Bible is filled with em!

Due to multiple requests to cover the insanity of the Jehovah's Witnesses, we devote over an hour to discussing this odd Adventist/Millerite offshoot. The JWs claim, despite setting multiple end-time dates that proved to be wrong, that they are the only beacon of Jehovah left on the earth. Could they be right? I think we can all make a prediction of our own here. http://www.irreligiosophy.com/podcasts/041_jehovah.mp3 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:00:00 GMT 01:21:40 jehovah, witnesses, atheist, atheism, deconversion, irreligosophy, irreligousophy, ireligiosophy, irrelligiosophy, skeptic, skeptical, skepticism, sceptic, sceptical, scepticism Irreligiosophy Catholic Church and Carrie Prejean As a follow-up to our last ANN, we find the Catholic Church behaving much the same as the American Legion in Minnesota.

We spend the first half-hour highlighting a few episodes of early LDS clashes with their neighbors and eventually the federal government, culminating in the Edmunds-Tucker Act and subsequent convenient revelation to do away with polygamy. The last half hour details more recent forays into the political arena, including the Equal Rights Amendment and Hawaii's gay marriage battle. http://www.irreligiosophy.com/podcasts/082_ldspolitical.mp3 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 08:00:00 GMT 01:04:23 lds, political, polygamy, ERA, Hawaii, gay, atheist, atheism, deconversion, irreligosophy, irreligousophy, ireligiosophy, irrelligiosophy, skeptic, skeptical, skepticism, sceptic, sceptical, scepticism Irreligiosophy All about the 9th Circuit Prop 8 judgment Here it is, the long-sought-after, long-withheld episode on Proposition 8. We cover a brief history of the relevant marriage law in California, changes to that law, judgments overturning those changes, voter initiatives overturning the judgments, and now another judgment overturning that initiative. Also, were those gay penguins really gay? http://www.irreligiosophy.com/podcasts/083_prop8.mp3 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 08:00:00 GMT 01:46:09 proposition, prop, 8, eight, atheist, atheism, deconversion, irreligosophy, irreligousophy, ireligiosophy, irrelligiosophy, skeptic, skeptical, skepticism, sceptic, sceptical, scepticism Irreligiosophy The better late than never edition We spend this episode unearthing the truth about the 1987 events that spawned a novel, a TV show, and a major motion picture.

Roger Nygard joins us in this episode to talk about his newly-released documentary, The Nature of Existence, where he traveled around the world quizzing people of all faiths (or faithlessnesses) about who we are, why we're here, and what to do about it all. We also discuss his previous project, Trekkies. Most importantly, we get to talk about what a huge douchebag Orson Scott Card is. http://www.irreligiosophy.com/podcasts/088_nature.mp3 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 08:00:00 GMT 00:59:13 roger, nygard, nature, existence, trekkies, atheist, atheism, deconversion, irreligosophy, irreligousophy, ireligiosophy, irrelligiosophy, skeptic, skeptical, skepticism, sceptic, sceptical, scepticism Irreligiosophy A tragedy of epic discrimination We discuss the perennial holiday classic about a reindeer born disfigured with a gigantic crimson proboscis, which apparently Leighton has never seen (I honestly don't know how he functions in society). In it, we find a shocking tale of discrimination and prejudice, led by God himself as his alter ego Santa Claus.
