Godless Heathens Podcast

On this episode we talked about...well what didn't we talk about. We started off by discussing the news that Twitter permanently banned the accounts of Alex Jones and Info Wars and we ended up with idea that Vice President Pence might be the possible source of the recent Op Ed piece in The New York Times. Along the way we hit on Social Media, Brett Kavanaugh, The Good News Club, Mormons, Evangelicals, Mainline Christians, Sunday Assembly, Gretta Vosper, Seventh Day Adventist, and American Atheist naming their new President.

P.S. I know, I know, Mary Baker Eddy started the Church of Christ, Scientist. It was Ellen G. White that started The Seventh-Day Adventist. I had consumed almost an entire bottle of wine and momentarily got my wired crossed when it comes to women who founded churches in the late 1800's. I'll try and not let it happen again.

We start off this episode with a discussion about Andrew Sullivan's recent article about religion in New York Magazine. We transition into a deep dive on Gretta Vosper and her heresy case's resolution with the United Church of Canada plus the surrounding issues of having an openly atheist minister lead a church congregation.

On this episode we welcome Michael Wiseman the creator and host of The Bible Says What?!?! Podcast who sits in for Jeff. We discuss the continued lack of a competent response from the current administration as well as the blatant defiance of the advice of medical professionals to practice social distancing by pastors imploring their flock to attend church services. We also talk about a certain Italian priest who is achieving legendary (I'm thinking Sainthood) status after "refusing" the use of a respirator after contracting the virus and passing away. Lastly, we fell down a deep, multi-layered, rabbit hole about Magic Mormon Underwear.

No, not like the Anne Rice novels, but a chat about Satanism and the Satanic Temple with a friend of the pod. Stick around, you just might learn something, hey hey hey...

Linkage:

• Hail Satan documentary
• Interview with the author of The Little Book of Satanism
• Satanic Temple campaigns

So, we had a little mishap down at the old podcast factory. Long story short, this weeks episode didn't save, so poof it's gone. In it's place we're releasing this "Lost Episode", we hope you enjoy it. It was the first time the three of us ever sat down and recorded together. This is about two thirds of the conversation as the first two topics we discussed were interesting and fun and the last third kind of goes off on a meandering path that's less traveled for a reason.

First we talk about a previous weekend and how a handful of self righteous christians with bullhorns and huge signs tried to spread the good word of the risen christ to the nerds (self included) at the Dragoncon Parade. We then take a quiz based on one of their signs and the 36 listed reasons why you could be going to hell and see how we stack up.

Lastly, we talk about a local middle school class that distributed a poem called "The Unicorn" and I read the "offensive" poem to Jeff and Jerry to get their initial reactions.
