In This Week’s Show, episode 84, The Atheist Avengers stop Iowa’s Hi-Po from milking their bibles.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Odin the All-father hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that every truck is a food truck if you’re a cannibal.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

In honor of Father’s Day this weekend, did you know that Sigmund Freud regarded God as an illusion and reflected an infantile psyche’s need for a powerful father figure? He considered religion necessary to help us restrain violent impulses earlier in the development of civilization, but it can now be set aside in favor of reason and science.

But before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

This Week’s Stories

Marvelous Quiz: Avengers v/s Wrath: Prawn of Justice!

Anyone who has listened to our show for any length of time knows we are a NERDY bunch of assholes, so imagine our excitement to hear the Atheist AVENGERS were going to be joining us! In honor of their guesting, Jenn has created a quiz dedicated to religion and mythology in comics!

(For clarification, the questions are written so that not always a knowledge of the comics themselves is needed to answer correctly. Because Aaron needed a handicap in this game.)

We all know that Thor’s man-hammer in the Marvel films is raised for Jane Foster only. However, in Norse mythology, who is actually the thunder god’s wife?

Frigg

Freya

Minerva

Sif

Hint: I’m totally ‘shipping them in the movies, too.

Longtime, dark comic fan favorite and recent AMC adaptation,’Preacher’ is the story of a small-town man of God who is possessed by a supernatural force. What book of the Bible is this angel/demon crossbreed entity named after?

Genesis

Exodus

Lamentations

Revelations

Hint: This book is the beginning, not the end.

Despite his demonic appearance and ancestry, teleporting X-Men member Nightcrawler is actually a devout Roman Catholic (he was even a priest briefly).
