In this episode we discuss abortion and the people who don’t like it. We discuss the laws and attitudes about the issue before Roe v Wade, how Jerry Falwell used it for his racist agenda, the methods they use to bend the law, the hurt they cause, and the violence that occurs.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

In this episode we discuss bible stories that are told to children in brightly coloured books, cartoons, or Sunday school felt boards, and try to figure out if these classic stories are really appropriate for kids.

We discuss the genocide, incest, and naked drunkeness of Noah’s ark, the violence and plagarism of David and Goliath, the weirdness of Jonah and the whale, God killing children with Lions after saving Daniel from them, and all the insanity of Samson.

We also discuss Super Book, Veggietales, and what makes a bible story work as a kids story.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

In this episode we discuss the small sect of Christians who think that God’s going to protect them against snake bites even though he continually doesn’t protect them against snake bites. That’s right we’re talking about the snake handling churches of the Appalachian Mountains and southeast United States.

We talk George Went Hensley, Jamie Coots, and “Punkin” Brown, and the surprising way these people who handled venomous snakes died. We also talk about how the law applies to these people, how this is harmful to the snakes, and also that they drink straight up poison.

As well, Damien introduces us to the scary world of anti-vaxxers. From France in the 1700s to Jenny McCarthy.

In this episode we talk about TV’s bigoted grandpa Pat Robertson. We discuss his days in law school, his military “service,” starting a TV station, creating the 700 Club, trying his hand at faith healing, running for president, using a tragedy to scam people out of money to pay for his blood diamond mines, and of course all the terrible things he’s said along the way.

We also quiz Damien on his knowledge of “christianese.”

In this episode we talk Davidians and Branch Davidians. We discuss The Shepherd’s Rod, their break from the Seventh-Day Adventists, the history of Mount Carmel, their popularity in the fifties, the many leadership struggles, and of course David Koresh and the ATF raid on the compound that cost the lives of 76 of its members.

What’s the worst that can happen when you think the world is ending soon and God’s given you a prophet?
