Thank God I'm Atheist

Mark fills in for Frank, and he and Dan discuss the militia men in Oregon and their Latter Day Saint connections. Also: Huckabee is too good at Christianing, Alabama Supreme Court justice gone rogue again, a school for training diddlers, Marco Rubio's new campaign ad, child abuse by a charity in India, and new stats reveal where America stands. 

New Biblical theory, murder, church trends, religious rights for me, victory for Planned Parenthood, Christmas in Brunei, and the afterlife makes no damned sense.

Frank calls Dan for Christmas well wishes. 

Texas plumber whose truck ended up in ISIS video sues, Mother Teresa's miracle approved, judge gets sworn in on something other than the Bible, college professor suspended for online post supporting muslims, school assignment crosses line, where to bury mass murderers, and Frank and Dan possibly put their big white feet in their dumb white mouths. 

Priest spends $1 Million on beefy lover, members of Donald Trump's church want him out, FFRF gets ignored, home vandalized, observatory nixed in Hawaii, UK no longer a Christian nation, and we set goals for the new year. 

Souvenir vendors displaced, Fox and Friends, faith-based groups and federal money, Humanists and Muslims, Donald Trump speaks to Jewish group, dueling nativity scenes, and we respond to emails and voicemail.   

LDS cancel experiment, temple in India, abandoned newborn found in church, black Friday fighting, public library planned for polygamist town, an ad gets canceled in UK, and 'tis the season for gift giving. 

Judge orders circumcision, Missouri legislator tries to stop research, "idiot" christian warrior kills child, Scalia spews more argle bargle, Mormon university cancels event, trouble in sportsland, and Mark and Dan wade like scared little bunnies into the topics of Islamic terrorism and the refugee crisis.

Mark fills in for Frank again to chat with Dan about: religious giving on the decline, lesbian moms, Japan losing interest in Buddha, Darwin's Origin of the Species, magnets messing with brains, and Ray offering Comfort to Christians. Also- what are the purity tests for your tribe?

Mark sits in for Frank, and chats with Dan about non-religious kids being more generous than religious, Canada swears in, Ben Carson continues not to make sense, Texans opt out of education, GOP debate finds a home, Catholics do Hobby Lobby one better, and the Mormons hate on babies.

Sheik Fagin, Museum of the Bible under federal scrutiny, Hindu cattle patrols, praying football coach, city council prayers, LDS church redefines their words, and what do you do when the shoes on the other foot.

A very quiet march for peace, Singaporean pop star, Ben Carson's stance on abortion, tripping pastors, Mormon leader says something awful, and silly things believers wear.

Big tip from church to pizza delivery driver, gun discounts, bike lanes and religious freedom, relics, Mother Teresa's charity, UK man and Saudi Arabian justice system, and Mark Hofmann. 

Mark sits in for Dan and we discuss BYU's violations of religious freedom, Norway creates app for leaving the church, Jason Chaffetz, merchandizing faith, FFRF's victory in Georgia, and Mormon leadership misses the boat at this week's General Conference. 

Mark sits in for Dan, and we discuss the Christian preacher with the resurrectin' power, the evangelicals who descended on Donald Trump, the Indiana legislator who videoed himself cheating on his wife (and then texted a copy to everyone he knows), how New Zealand prefers the dark side of the force, right wing crazies, Kim Davis's papal visit, and the World Conference of Families (and their upcoming visit to SLC).

Pope visits America, polygamist town flooded, gay man nominated to serve as Secretary of the Army, teen clockmaker, religious (online) searches, Jesus shows up in someone's brain, and guest host Mark tells us his story.

It's our 200th episode and there are plenty of surprises in store... mainly we're drunk and we have a couple of visitors. Shhh! It's Cecile and Tom from "Cognitive Dissonance." Plus we do some stories, but not really. You'll just have to listen.

Class of 2019, Maylasia and their rules, imprisoned Iranian cartoonist faces more time in jail, punishments in India, adult coloring books, and pluralism in America. 

Mark sits in for Frank and talks about the following with Dan: the Josh Duggar saga continues, Kim Davis is behind bars, a Utah man who raped little girls uses Bible as excuse, the pope lets priests forgive women who have abortions, an Oklahoma school bans crosses and cowboy boots, Episcopals divest of fossil fuels, and Bryce Blankenagel from "Naked Mormonism Podcast" stops by for a visit. 

Terrorist threat actually just a welcome sign in Hebrew, praying the potholes away, Rome to name square after Martin Luther, Mormon Church decides to stay with BSA, Jain problem, and sex problems for the religious.
