Come to be concerned about Christian Concern, stay to enjoy Adam wanting to make Justin Bieber Archbishop of Canterbury and Ben being unable to say the word "truth".  We also talk about the danger of fascism in the UK, question whether Jesus was a collaborator, and get extremely bored reading a Keir Starmer article.

We are joined by Sarah, who has now officially been on more podcasts than she has listened to, to discuss 2020 and how much we all enjoyed it. This is a pretty loose and chilled episode and we really go hard on the classic themes of the show: how terrible the British immigration system is, how horribly transphobic the UK is, and good old-fashioned Christian homophobia. We also look forward to 2021 and see if we can muster some optimism. A very happy new year to anyone who has found the patience to listen to one of these this year.

The outro music is not Millennium Prayer, but I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers. There's also clips of LCD Soundsystem's cover of (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang, televangelist and Trump booster Paula White praying the worst prayer you've ever heard, and the very funny YouTube video where someone has turned Alex Jones rants into a Bon Iver-style indie folk song. You can find the whole thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGAAhzreGWw

We are joined by the brilliant Damon Garcia, a liberation theologian and YouTuber, to talk about Christmas. We whine about the new coronavirus rules in the UK, complain about the way capitalism ruins Christmas, and suggest some ways in which Christmas might actually be good after all. Controversially, we actually talk about the bible quite a bit in this one, and condemn ourselves to eternal torment for not taking it all literally. Adam also talks about his deep desire to be a mall Santa.

Adam added some christmassy sleigh bells to it, which basically makes him a DJ doing a remix.

The outro is Hey Guys! Its Christmas Time! by Sufjan Stevens. I know we already did a Sufjan outro, but he embodies the spirit of Christmas so I did it again.

Episode 5 is either a week late or a week early, depending on how you look at it. We talk about the politics of the Church in the UK, pat ourselves on the back for being better than the Americans, and tell ourselves off for thinking we're better than the Greeks. We also criticise Extinction Rebellion and talk about disliking the EU, so this is apparently our gammon episode.

I don't know what the outro music is, because Adam edited this episode and I forgot to ask him. It's cool though.

Adam rants about remembrance, poppies and the church. Ben rants about the EHRC report into Labour. Neither of us care enough to rant about the American elections. There's not one but two Simpsons clips in the episode, so you know its going to be good.

The Politics Theory Other episode we mention is #100 Corbyn, Labour, and the EHRC report w/ Barnaby Raine.

Adam's written about this stuff before on his blog:
Reflections on Remembrance & Nationalism
The Poppy Appeal: State Militarism in Fancy Dress
Truth, Freedom of Speech, and the Poppy

Other, smarter people than us have written good stuff too:
Too Much, Too Young? A Christian Response to the UK’s Recruitment of Child Soldiers by Robin Hanford
From the classroom to the frontline – schools must be careful what they teach kids about the army by Jonathan Parry

Our outro song is Warchild by The Cranberries, which is very depressing and therefore seemed appropriate for this week's episode.

We start with our very first episode, which we've called Episode 0 because we hate maths. Ben and Adam introduce the podcast, talk about what you can expect from it and indulge in some light blasphemy.
