Everyone's Agnostic Podcast

Brandon Fibbs, the son of two generations of Assembly of God ministers, let science lead him to a new Truth.  Brandon lives in Los Angeles, works in the TV/movie industry including on "Cosmos" w/ Neil DeGrasse Tyson.  

Former Baptist zealot, Neil Carter, now blogs as "Godless in Dixie."  Hear his story and the great cost of being openly secular in Mississippi.  

Bob & Cass talk about what they learned from each guest, and how the podcast and their personal journeys have evolved as a result.  A survey of all 19 guests and the pilgrimage they started 6 months ago.  Happy Holidays and Happy New Year everybody!  

Former UCC minister, Micheal Dowd, is on a mission to save humanity...from climate change.  Ecology is the new Theology.  Humans have glorified their needs at the expense of the earth and there's hell and high water to pay.  If you and your god-narratives aren't pro-future, you're part of the problem, not the solution.  a big John Michael Greer disciple and proponent of Citlizens Climate Lobby (CCL), Dowd gives tips on what we can do to help (besides drive a Prius).  Good talk, see you out there!  

No masks! The journey out of magical thinking into reality is a brave pilgrimage and Joe Cologero shares his story in earnest.  Saved by Ricky Gervais and Matt Dillahunty, the lightbulb over Joe’s head finally came on and stayed on.  Check it out! Episode 24 of Everyone’s Agnostic podcast. 

This is our interview with brilliant Dr. Elyce Rae Helford, an English professor at MTSU.  She talks about her Judeo upbringing and her journey to atheism.  A feminist, a fiction writer, mother, wife, and atheist podcast connoisseur.  We love talking to people who have really thought things through and Elyce certainly qualifies.  Get into it! 

Rabbi Rami Shapiro is a zen rabbi, reform rabbi, has a doctorate in religious studies, and initiated into the Ramakrishna Order of Vedanta Hinduism.  He is a world renowned lecturer and author, who has been bringing the perennial wisdom of the world’s religions to spiritual seekers of every faith and none for over forty years.

Bob & Cass interview Frank Schaeffer about his latest book, "Why I'm an Atheist Who Believes in God."  Once we get past that fact that semantically those words are mutually exclusive, an odd conversation can happen.   This paradox, this tension, especially for those who were raised religious and are no longer, can stick in your head for decades.  Perhaps some just can't completely shut the coffin on God?  "Spiritual but not religious."  How much space can remain for the possibility of a "god" or Prime Mover once one denies all supernaturalism, magic, superstition, and fully accepts Darwin's theory of evolution?  Is it anything more than feelings or wishful thinking?  

Bob & Cass discuss how religious narratives can turn people insane, make good people do evil things (and not know it), Moses, the Passover, and 2 clips from Bart Campolo and Russell Brand.  

Sherri's journey from hyper-Calvinism to a universe where anything is possible, including polyamory and unicorns.  Joined by her closet atheist friend Kayla.  It's a theological foursome with Bob & Cass.
