91: Hitler, Darwin, and Atheism

[irrelig]Chuck’s Sources: “Atheism Was Not the Cause of the Holocaust,” by Hector Avalos, PhD; Chapter 13 of The Christian Delusion, and Fighting Words: A Toolkit for Combating the Religious Right by Robin Morgan
Leighton’s Sources: See Hitler Run: Run, Hitler, Run!, Wikipedia

In his podcast we answer the Christian charge that Hitler was an atheist, and that Nazism and the Holocaust were inevitable results of Darwin’s theories. We discuss Dinesh D’Souza, Richard Weikart, Pope Innocent III, and Martin Luther, father of the Protestant Reformation and the original Nazi.

All that and some more skunk dickishness in episode 91.

87: Evidence 4 Faith Debate

[irrelig]Well, it is finished. We have given up the ghost. Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. As promised, we appeared on the Evidence 4 Faith live radio broadcast to debate the two hosts of the show, and they have convinced us of the truth of Christianity. Because of this, Leighton is scheduled to be burned at the stake next Tuesday.

Listen to all the carnage!

86: The Mitzvah

[irrelig]I’m going to go ahead and apologize for this one right now. I made the mistake of letting Leighton present his “research” first, and he ended up taking the entire podcast (probably out of revenge for me doing the same thing to him every chance I get). The result is, well, let’s just say it’s quintessentially Leighton.

May Yahweh help us all.

85: Abby & the Judaic Nation

[irrelig]This time around, we’ve got Abby to talk about growing up Jewish, a little Jewish history, the four current flavors of Judaism, her bat mizvah, and basically all things Jewish. It’s a typical wide-ranging discussion about the Mother of All Monotheisms, with a little Leighton thrown in for good measure.

75: Religious Podcast Takedown!

[irrelig]In this special episode we courageously venture into the dark heart of iTunes’ Top Ten Religious Podcasts, tackling the ever-charming, ever-gleeful Joyce Meyer as well as everyone’s favorite evangelical idiot, Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill. We also have a very special installment of “As the Allred Family Turns,” and a surprising announcement about the fate of the Mims H. Carter Skunk Dick Award.

It can all be found in episode 75, released on time even!

72: Early Christian Heresies, Part One

[irrelig]Today we talk about early Christian heresies like docetism and adoptionism, and how they influenced both the formation of the canon and the texts within it. It may not surprise you to learn that during the decades-long course of the argument over whether or not Jesus was fully human, fully divine, or both, scribes made alterations in the text so that it would more fully support their viewpoint. Because if you can’t win the argument with the texts you have, by all means make some shit up. And when that fails, simply kill people (as we’ll get into in the next episode).
