Godless Heathens Podcast

How much should non-believers be afraid of new Speaker Mike Johnson? Afraid enough to make sure he's only the minority leader in 2024 is the correct answer btw. Also Jerry tries but fails to stop saying "you know". 

Why does the mainstream media want to hear from Russell Moore so much lately? Do they love heretics that much? Is he one? And do progressives need him more than needs us? So many questions. Oh, and we also text with Jesus. The free version at least.

• There are too many recent Russell Moore links to put in one pod description. 

How much have you really listened to RFK Jr.? We only knew the usual bullet points too, but don't dismiss his appeal or the potential havoc his candidacy could cause next year. Or this year even. 

A couple of New Yorker podcasts inspired this show: 

• The conspiracy theories of RFK Jr. The most insightful 30 minutes you'll hear on this topic. Our analysis and reaction from it is a close second though.

Special guest appearances by all of our dogs. They had a lot to say this week, though it all just came out as "bark".

No, not like the Anne Rice novels, but a chat about Satanism and the Satanic Temple with a friend of the pod. Stick around, you just might learn something, hey hey hey...

Linkage:

• Hail Satan documentary

A special guest enters the chat for episode 125, a word that Jeff understandably had trouble saying, because how often to you celebrate the 125th anniversary of anything? Discuss. 

The usual amount of Hopium is vaped when talking about the Fox News settlement, while huffing a new strain of "Consequencium", that has the same bitter aftertaste of burnt hope. Don't burst our bubble... join us in it. 

What should we make of a big, grassroots revival in 2023? Tens of thousands of people made the trek to Kentucky, but is this really a new trend? Magic 8-ball says... doubtful, like the reports of miracle healing at it. Oh and btw, ending gerrymanding is not only possible, but is getting results in Michigan. 

• "Miraculous" healing at Asbury Revival-CBN

We tried, but the good news pod got overwhelmed by... a lot. Should there be extended outrage and consequences to anyone that says a group of people, any group, should be "eradicated"? (Yes). Banning books, banning people, creating enemy classes of people, sure sounds like... And how is the awful CPAC conference good news? (Please clap)

Show links:

• ACLU tracking legislative attacks on LGTBQ rights
  

• Up to 420 at the time this was posted. And growing.

• Listen to this one first 

You can't keep a mediocre podcast down forever.

• Cop City bodycam footage, from The Intercept.

On this, the last Godless Heathens Podcast, we have our final discussion.

Thank you to everybody we met along the way.

On this episode, after an extended pre-show of "what about this story", we finally decided to pick one as a jumping off point and "Just Hit Record"
