The Canadian Atheist

Episode 245

This week Dean is away because he has a real job! Micheal is joined by Ben Zeisloft. Ben is the communications director for The Foundation to Abolish Abortion.

While they are diametrically opposed from pretty much every perspective, they still seem to have a civil discussion, which is really important. The topics don’t stay on that of abortion…they manage to stumble into both theology and philosophy…which is messy as both admit, they are NOT experts there.

We know this is a serious topic and its easy for tempers to flare when even just listening…so if you need to skip this one, that’s okay.

A good talk was had, we hope you can enjoy it.

Episode 244

This week, Micheal & Dean do some news. They discuss several topics including, let’s just oppress women some more. The marvels of faith that can’t seem to keep men from touching people against their will & Paula White still talking nonsense.

Next week is gonna be a banger. Please send your questions for The FDN to Abolish Abortion & our guest, Ben Zeisloft. Email us at [email protected]

Enjoy!

Episode 243

At BAHACON, dreams became reality when we, at The CA met Scott, from the Skeptical Scott Podcast IRL! (as the kids say) This week, Scott joins them for a chat. The conversation was wide ranging and wholly organic. Scott talks about young Scott, his personal evolution and why he chose to embark on his podcast journey. When we say the talk was wide ranging, we aren’t kidding. Politics, religion, family, friends and how they all tie together & in some cases, unravelled.

Much fun was had, enjoy!
