Godless Heathens Podcast - 110 - Mandisa Thomas of Black Nonbelievers
play

03/06/22 • 70 min

On this episode we welcome to the show a very special guest Mandisa Thomas the founder and President of Black Nonbelievers. Ms. Thomas is not only someone who all three co-host have admired for the work she has accomplished in the Atheist movement in the last decade plus, we also have the pleasure of considering her to be a personal friend. I know we promised a Covid free episode and we still owe you one, the next one. We couldn't talk to Mandisa about the last decade without how she adjusted during the pandemic. Believe me though, it's a small portion of the conversation and of course it was Jeff that opened that door.

Godless Heathens Podcast - 023 - It's Not The Religion, It's The Politics
play

09/23/18 • 77 min

On this episode we kick things off with a discussion about the current political climate surrounding the Governor's Race in Georgia and it's impact on local businesses including one of Jeff's favorite local micro breweries. Along the way we talk about business we personally boycott and the reasons why, the recent controversial allegations about Brett Kavanaugh, and U2's Bono and his recent statements concerning the Pope and the Catholic Church. We also touch on two topics that many would consider to be oxymorons, "Secular Conservatives" and "Progressive Muslims". Mostly on this episode Jerry, who showed up extra salty and contrarian this week, tries to pin Jeff down about when it comes to evangelicals does he have a bigger issue with their religion or their politics.

09/09/18 • 76 min

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 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.

03/29/20 • 59 min

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.

07/29/18 • 55 min

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.
