The Godcast

Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, "Behold, we did not know this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it, and will he not repay man according to his work?

-Proverbs 24:11-12

Today, Crux and Super cover the responses to the murders that have happened this week. Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk. A whole lot of people have been fedposting over it, but we're taking a different message for the sake of true victory. This is the episode no one wanted but everyone should hear.

Welp, it finally happened. Someone who wants America to be a Christian nation with a Christian government decided to do a heckin' violence to get what he wanted. And how did he plan to do it? Well, he planned to shoot up a church. Thankfully law enforcement stopped him before he could, but he won't be the last. Let's dig into Joshua Michael Richardson's recent past and find out what made him decide to do a terrorism.

Comrades! Let's try something new! Instead of us just telling you about something we watched, how about we watch it together? Let's take a break from Western and Japanese media and watch some Soviet era Eastern bloc cartoons... and try not to lose our minds.

In today's episode, Super gives you a cue for when to start watching, if you're brave enough to watch some of the most turgid, pointless, ugly animations to ever hit the small screen.

Then they said "NO, NOT LIKE THAT!"

Let's continue reading the Shepherd of Hermas and examine its connections to the talmud and the horrible effect it had on the Church.

ANGERY REAX ONLY FAM.

Let's talk about the tragic saga of David Crowley, the scion of pre-Alt-Right dissident libertarianism. Then I guess we should talk about the documentary that did a victory lap over his corpse.

Hey remember when that one kid went McVeigh on an IVF clinic earlier this year? Well it turns out that his dumb little stunt comes from inspiration by a REALLY stupid philosophy taught by a depressed hobo. Let's talk about it.

For the tone police goobers out there: Mister Metokur once said that the best way to discourage kids from doing senseless acts of violence is to mock the perpetrators relentlessly. Shooting up a school or blowing up a building shouldn't get you cool points or sympathy updoots. Here at the Godcast, we agree. But we also want to take it a step further and mock their parasocial relationships as well.

A few weeks back, we started looking at the Shepherd of Hermas, a foundational document for people interested in a mumbling facsimile of Christianity that's based on soul-desiccating labor. Let's dive into part two (emails in the first half), and start bringing up the Montanist heresy.
