In episode 99 I talk about some of my all-time favorite words, answer a devout Christian's challenge to Agnosticism and contention that America's divorce rate is high because we've turned our back on God, and warn her not to let her guard down because Satan (if he exists) is everywhere, discuss what it means if your marriage is blessed by God (if He exists), help a client whose comfort animal is a goldfish and needs to fly, advise a woman whose boyfriend is in love but she just likes the sex, and suggest what you should say to your younger self if you ever had the chance PLUS lots of sound effects.

In episode 98 I expose the world's greatest evil. His name is Jon Haney and I describe why. Why phone scams might mean the end of civilization. Is NPR a Debbie/Donald/They downer?

Good intentions gone bad-I have scars. What's mreo important-- your intentions or results? Best punk band name ever? And why I am certainly voting for Biden, again.

Thanks to you An Agnostic's Guide to Heaven was ranked one the top 15 agnostic podcasts by Feedspot.com. I don't know if they're saying that because it's true or because they want me to subscribe to their "service" to further expand the audience but it's kind of good news/or not. Today--when did I first know I was agnostic, I respond to a sharp listener who pointed out why a parable commencement speakers use is stupid, some listener feedback on composting human bodies, I take on the challenge to say something negative about liberals, discuss the difference between liberal and conservative folk music, why "Puff the Magic Dragon" is such a stupid song and would never have happened the way they said it did, a few ways to determine if you're old, and a response to a woman who resents stereotypes-- all in under 18 minutes.

Did you know at night I fight crime wearing a Batman Halloween costume? It's just another way I am giving back. In episode 95 I gave a commencement address that some thought a tad pessimistic and I respond with ways our grads can change the world. Why am I agnostic? I explain. What would it take for me to believe in a God? What does it mean to be a man? I believe Artificial Intelligence will end the world. I make the argument to ban AI. AI has written symphonies but is really bad at jokes. I have the proof. Would we ever know if we were invaded by aliens? Beyond burials and cremation what can we do to dispose of human bodies? You have questions, I have the answers in 19 minutes. Subscribe and THRIVE!!!!!

In this episode I hear it from 2nd amendment types on banning Lawn Darts and AR-15s, why some should stay out of the gene pool, could we de-evolve and lose our opposable thumbs, the downside if Trump is in prison, I've ruined someone's relationship with his sons and apologize, should parents be their kids friends, what do dandelions and Jesuits converting native people's have to do with each other, are there places in Hell better than the bowels AND I give the commencement address our graduates need to hear but never do.

In episode 94 we discuss if any or all the Gods exist and what that means for your weekend. A client worries her kids are addicted to video games and I assure her they are in league with the DEVIL and what she should do about it. Every generation thinks the next generation is destroying the culture. Are we right this time? Why I think the Second Coming (if the God that promised it exists) would be a good thing. Or at least good television. If we could ban lawn darts why can't we ban AR-15's? What does a riot at an Easter Egg hunt tell us about people? Is it fair to be punished for what you did in someone's dream? You have questions. I have answers. And it's all over in a snappy 18 minutes. SUBSCRIBE AND THRIVE!!!!!

Just in time for Easter--He IS Risen or He HAS Risen? If we're banning books in schools should we start with THE HOLY BIBLE? I read parts of it that are Hitchcock/Tarantino/50 Shades of Grey territory so you can decide. Can vegetarians opt out of the Lamb of God portions of the liturgy? Should there be peanut butter and mint jelly sandwiches? Are nuns the most vicious women on Earth? I discuss a psych experiement I remember that proved they just might be. You have problems, I have solutions. And in this episode I've taken the overuse of sound effects to an all new level. Best of all, it's all over in 17 minutes. So, who am I hurting?
