Our friend Malori (@MaloriMovesForward on TikTok) is an ex-Mormon, now atheist, who shares her life story with us. Malori discusses her experience with religious indoctrination in a Mormon household, how religion affected her mental health, and how she continues to find her identity on a deconstruction journey. We also discuss secret Mormon handshakes through gloryholes, Satan controlling the waters on Sundays, as well as special underwear.

Baph and Mel got consecutively sick (not with the 'Rona), so it was only appropriate to interview Alix (they/them pronouns) who goes by "Sickness of the Thiccness" on TikTok. Alix shares some past traumatic experiences from childhood, as well as their encounters with religious indoctrination. Alix also discusses discovering Modern Satanism and coming out as pansexual and non-binary. We also discuss how Alix hates mac n' cheese and how Mel might be a Biblical prophecy. 

*Song played in this episode: "Argue like a Christian" (parody song in the tune of "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles)

Baph and Mel, once again, meet up in person to have another blasphemous vacation! We got to interview Baph's bff, Nathan, and he tells us about his secular upbringing. We discuss how his dad wouldn't make it as an angel and how he was a satanist before it was cool. So enjoy us talking shit about Christians and our experiences with them.

On this special mini episode of the Burning Eden Podcast, Mel sits down again with Chico aka AtheistChico from Tiktok! Y'all remember him right? The one that cried? Yea, me either...  

We loved his episode so much we wanted to check in on him to see how he's doing. Of course, it went off the rails almost immediately, but Mel had a blast talking with him again!

Our friend Emily (@GoodGodless on TikTok) shares her experience with evangelical Christianity and how it took over her life. We discuss purity culture and how damaging it has been for her. She also shares her personal story of marriage and separation, her exposure to religious trauma, as well as her ongoing healing journey of finding herself again while exploring her sexual identity. We are also introduced to our new favorite Bible character: The Whore of Babylon!!

IT IS OUR 40TH EPISODE!!! And what better way to celebrate than with a very special guest! In this episode, we have our friend J Mike (@atheist_jesus_ on TikTok), who is also a host on Axioms on Trial and on the awesome show Talk Heathen (!!!). We have a great conversation about bad arguments, logical fallacies, his despise for spirituality and "woo", as well as titties. We are so thankful for 40 episodes and here's to 40 more!

For this episode, are joined by our friend Ethan Lawless. Why is Ethan so angry all the damn time? We spend an hour talking to him, trying to figure this out. Ethan discusses his upbringing, his realization that religion is bullshit from a young age, his stance on religious beliefs, and why religion evokes anger in him. We also discuss dumb people, talking donkeys, and aliens.

Get ready to meet the new sensation in the atheist community: Genevieve! We have the privilege of chatting with Genevieve about her life experiences as a life-long atheist, how she grew up without an imaginary friend, and how it shaped the person she is now. She talks about her passion for science, being an emo kid in middle school, going from butcher to vegan, becoming a "born again atheist",  and co-hosting a YouTube show with Dave Warnock. We certainly are jealous!..... But little does she know that being on our show will likely ruin all of her chances of becoming a public figure.... sucker!!
