Cellar Door Skeptics Podcast

The excitement is intense this week as we return from a week hiatus into the midst of the Michigan Primaries and International Women's Day! We recently experienced a Bernie Sanders rally in the Grand Rapids Michigan and discussed that along with the primaries first, then Christopher Tanner delivered an in depth look at pledging support for International Women's Day that should open all out eyes. Next Chris Hanna went full science with a segment analyzing the claim that cooking is one of the major driving forces for the evolution of humans from our ancestors. Closing out the show we dove into the murky waters of the Apple-FBI feud over privacy and hacking that will affect us all when it is fully resolved.

"Tithing and Equal Pay"

This is a short monologue, a diary of sorts, that I have brought to you, the listener, as we journey together. This audio experience is of a more personal nature, an inside look into my life.

Tonight I am talk about tithing, humanism, and equal pay. I am sometimes appalled and shocked by how much money humans give toward religion. I see millions be sent to "spread the gospel" when there is so much need just for some to survive. We see a disparity between what religious people feel comfortable donating to the needy, while donating thousands to an organization where some of the "volunteers" live better than those in need. And all of this is meant to help save the poor lost souls from eternal damnation, while letting them suffer here on earth.

Please enjoy my thoughts on tithing that hopefully will inspire each of you to become more active in helping move humanity forward.

Chris and Christopher start this week with the heat, firing up criticisms from last weeks gun segments and cooling off with a history lesson on Asian internment camps and Mexican forced deportation. Gold digger Kanye is made fun of for a decent amount of time and then the dark head of science reared itself, to talk about the Appendix? It was cool, trust us. Next Pascal's wager was perverted with climate change and the funky logic will be published on the blog for all to critique. Finally, the show was closed out on a warm cloud of Marijuana legalization banter and a skeptical look at what the President will do to replace Antonin Scalia. This one has something for everyone.

Get your flack jacket and tin foil hat because Christopher Tanner and Chris Hanna talked about gun control and concealed carry permits in Michigan this week. Then they dove into an over sized science segment; analyzing the Reticular Activating System otherwise known as The RAS and how it can be trained to do your bidding! To close they talked about more Michigan legislation and the viral story about how the hand shaped state apparently banned sodomy and oral sex?!?! Interested? Well you should be, so check us out!

This week Chris and Christopher bring back everyone's favorite segment: "This Month on Pot" where they talk about Michigan's current legalization efforts. Then they had a few drinks while interviewing the wonderful hosts of Unbuckling the Bible Belt podcast, Sharon and Kate. After that, Chris was given the go ahead for a full on philosophical take of the fine tuning argument with the Anthropic Principle. And finally, the two hosts emptied their glasses raging against the Pope and his horrific and seemingly fatal endorsement of modern day exorcisms.

This episode of Cellar Door Skeptics, Christopher and Chris tackle Star War’s the Force Unleashed while examining the new twists the movie has to offer. They move on to examine how much alcohol they can drink to get a hangover in a Tanner inspired Science Segment. The further they fall the more they talk about Bernie’s prison stance. And they close this episode out discussing the Flint Water Crisis. Tanner gets a little passionate and Hanna has to reign him in as these two deliver another amazing revolutionary episode.

This week Chris and Christopher dive into feminism and humanism to set the stage for our special guest, Xandi Anderson; who has been on the front lines escorting people to Planned Parenthood locations and critiquing various state violations of the Supreme Court's gay marriage legalization decision. The hosts round out the show with Conway's Game of Life, a mathematical model that may have the keys to unlocking the origins of life from simple elements and molecules running solely on the rigid laws of physics. Oh and they challenge a religious blogger, stick around, this might get messy.

We also are joined by our friends in the podcast community, Jen and Keith from Not Another Atheist Podcast as help weigh in on these important topics. They will stick around for the full show to provide their expert and sometimes vulgar yet honest opinions on today's show.
