For episode 48 Matt and I discuss “The Story of God”, book written by Chris Matheson of “Bill and Ted” fame. We talk about the book, which is a version of the Bible written from God’s point of view, and also a wide variety of topics, including Republican primary politics. Also, skunk dicks and iTunes reviews.

Yes, the circle is now complete. Once David was but a learner, now he is the master. David and Bryce (of the exceptional Naked Mormonism podcast) have Matt and me on their show to discuss Doctrine & Covenants Section 6 and I rediscover how much I loathed the D&C in my youth.

My Book of Mormon Podcast Episode #100

Following a brief skunk dick segment and Matt’s Anthropology Corner, we dive into a detailed review of the conclusion of Do You Believe?

Our series on the Founding Fathers of the world concludes with this episode on John MF Adams, Thomas MF Jefferson, and James MF Madison, all intellectuals and all to varying degrees heterodox or even (in the case of Jefferson) an outright heretic. Also we cover a few skunk dicks, including Planned Parenthood which seems to be slicing up babies for money. Good times!

Or specifically, one clerk in particular named Kim Davis, who refuses to perform the basic duty of issuing marriage licenses because she’s a bigot. Bereft of any legal grounds, out of appeals, and in direct violation of the specific court order of a federal judge, she continues to refuse, citing “God’s authority” and ends up in contempt of court. She currently resides in county jail for her troubles, much like Joseph and his technicolor dreamcoat, or, more recently, Kent Hovind.

Matt and I cover her religious liberty “argument” as well as the responses of the Republican presidential candidates who have weighed in on this crucial issue. Good times!

Every once in a while, we post a podcast here. This one is about the movie “Do You Believe?” from the same Pureflix guys who brought us “God’s Not Dead.” Is it amazing? Why yes. Yes it is.

Continuing our epic series on the US Founding Fathers, this time we talk about George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, two good friends who had very different views about religion and politics. Also, a few skunk dicks.

Well it’s that time again, time for our semiannual podcast. This time it’s on the Founding Fathers, and to provide some background, we give a brief overview of the Enlightenment as well. Need some ammo against Christians who portray the founders of the US government as evangelicals? Ever been told that the US is a “Christian nation?”

Well, that’s all true, unfortunately. The Christians hit the nail on the head yet again.

Ever think religion does no harm? Then this podcast is for you. It tells the unbelievable story of a dark time in Mormon history when some otherwise law-abiding religious people in southern Utah followed the instructions of their leaders and slaughter men, women, and children who were peacefully traveling through their territory. We talk about events preceding and following the massacre, and the extent to which Brigham Young was involved.

Whew, that took a while. In episode 40 we finish our scholarly study of the book of Acts, covering chapters 10-28 which is basically a lot of boring stuff about Paul. Also, we talk about some Skunk Dicks, launch into a new Matt’s Anthropology Corner, get a sponsor and reveal a Special Announcement. All packed into this one interminable episode.
