The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.47 airing Sunday, November 20, 2022 featuring Jason Sherwood, August, and Cindy PlazaThis week you can join Jason Sherwood with an amazing panel of August and Cindy Plaza!I know I say all the panels are amazing every week, but here’s the thing: THEY ALL ARE!!! So check us out this Sunday at 3:00 PM Central. Let’s get into it.First up, Texas churches broke the law, and the law… didn’t seem to care. Uhh oh. Seems at least two different churches supported different candidates in this latest election. If only there was some kind of law that prevented that from happening. Maybe some Texas Senator could amend the tax code so that non-profit organizations couldn’t do that. Oh wait, that is a thing that happened. So did anything happen? Did those churches lose their tax exempt status? Well you will just have to tune in to find out, but you can guess...Now over to the land of fine wine, fine food, and now racist nationalists? Seems a politician got into a little hot water for suggesting a

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.46 airing Sunday, 11-13-2022 featuring Richard Gilliver, Jason Friedman, Cynthia McDonald and Kelley LaughlinIt was once postulated: does a bear crap in the woods?

Join Richard Gilliver and the amazing panel of Cynthia McDonald, Kelley Laughlin, and newcomer Jason Friedman as they delve deep into this week's topics. Let’s get into it.First up, mind over matter? Nature vs. nurture? What are the best psychological approaches? In the past experts would segment things out. Breaking things into nice little packages from a subset of people who they were able to talk to. Human’s are a bit messier than that. So we explore more of the humanistic approach. Is it perfect? Maybe not, but humans are very complicated. Even if some claim they are simple. It’s just another tool to put in the tool box when dealing with people.Next up, BLAME CANADA! In this case British Columbia as they are q

That's ok you can find the full write up at tiny.cc/fbnp. So short descriptions will have to do it for YouTube. Hey YouTube! Can I have 6000 or 7000 characters please?!First we talk about how it is so hard to get elected as an atheist. On that same line we explore how secular ideas are gaining ground in the political space. Maybe our second segment will destroy the first! Next, Former Vice President Mike Pence is striking a chord with Christian Nationalists by saying we do not have freedom FROM religion. FFRF might ha

Check us out at the witching hour of 3:00 PM Central this Sunday!Let’s get into the articles.First up, How do you celebrate Halloween? Do you get dressed up with the kidos and hit the neighborhood so you can steal all their treats once you get back home? Maybe you dress up as a scarecrow sitting out on your porch all night with a candy bowl on your lap to scare anyone to dares to trespass on your property. Maybe you go to a raunchy Halloween party so you can do the November walk of shame. Well for religious leaders there are many different options and we explore what some of them

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.43 airing Sunday, October 23, 2022 featuring Jason Sherwood, Helen Green, Richard Firth-Godbehere and Augusthe time to take back The Non-Prophets is now! No longer will the gay frogs, or some kind of media, or billion dollar judgments stop us from bringing you the news and topics of the day from a skeptical humanist perspective. Especially since there are settlements and closures that can help us heal from history. This week I get to lead an amazing panel of Helen Green, Professor Doctor Richard Firth-Godbehere, and August. This episode was so packed we hardly were able to end it properly! Let’s get into it.First, we start in our own backyard of Austin Texas. Where friend of the show and shouty conspiracy broadcaster is ordered to pay nearly a billion dollars in damages to the victims and families of the sandy hook school shooting. Will this get appealed? Will he show up to that appeal? Does he have any appeal? It’s hard to say. The good news is he can always start over by going b

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.42 airing Sunday, October 16, 2022 featuring Richard Gilliver, August and Cindy PlazaThis week we got Richard Gilliver doing his best ASMR while August and Cindy back him up with nothing but the facts. I wasted too much time with a Picard speech so let’s just get right into it!First up, A Nobel prize winner is in some hot water. Why might you ask? Well I will give you three guesses with just one hint. He Catholic bishop from Portugal. Well where he is from isn’t really the important part so you blew a guess on that. No, it’s not because he tried to move in a straight line when he is only supposed to move diagonally. Ok, you guessed it, it is due to sexual abuse. We also get some real time fact checking in this segment so be sure to pay attention to this one!Next up, The women or Iran are starting to protest their oppressive wear! This has reverberations of other feminist protests in both the US in the 60’s and in Iran when the Shiite regime took over in the late 70’s and 80’s. Vei

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.41 airing Sunday, October 9, 2022 featuring Kelley Laughlin, Phil The Caribbean Skeptic, and AugustTemperatures are dropping all over the Northen Hemisphere, but here in The Non-Prophets studio things are heating up! That is because this week’s special guest is Phil the Caribbean Skeptic. He is joined by August, and first time conductor (as far as you know) R Kelley Laughlin. So break out the rum (responsibly) and get ready for an amazing episode! Let’s get into it!First up, on the Internet Apologist are saying some shit yet again. Seems a pastor in Atlanta wants to teach how you should pray. Now what would you pay for this 4 week intensive course? $10,000? $100,000? A cool $Million!? Well good news you only need to pay $1500! That’s a steal considering it used to be up to $2000! Seriously, can you put a price tag on your immortal soul? Pastor Juantia Bynum dares to say YES! Maybe, I should start my own anti-prayer institute. This would have nothing to do with the new RTX 4090 co

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.40 airing Sunday, October 2, 2022 featuring Secular Rarity, Neil the 604 Atheist, Kelley Laughlin and Scott DickieFirst up, you know your racist uncle who will stop at nothing to ruin Thanksgiving? Well it seems him and a majority of Republicans support calling the United States a Christian nation. This is not surprising. With the article of last week saying Christians will “soon” be in a minority, and science gaining ground, it tracks that Christians are feeling more persecuted than ever before. So can’t wait to hear about how they are losing while drinking out of their holiday cups in a few more weeks…Next up, we take a look in a book, but reading rainbow is a little different these days. One of the headlines we have been tracking over the past few months are all the book bans going on. We have also seen good old fashioned book burnings. Seems no one has told the older generations about e-books, tablets, or phones. While making it difficult for people (eg someone please think of

He is joined with Cindy Plaza, Josh Entner, and Cynthia McDonald. With lots of blood,sweat, and tears, let’s into the articles.First up, Yee haw down to the Lone Star state where I am sure everything is progressing just fine, right? Hmm, a judge is blocking preventive HIV medication? On religious grounds? But, why? This one is deeply rooted for many of our hosts due to professional and personal reasons. Personal as this decision seems it is targeted on the LGBT community. The funny thing is that the actual numbers of new HIV cases doesn’t support what they think it will do. This will make it much harder on caregivers deep in the heart of Texas.Up next, Holy Cow Batman! Seems like a sickness is mooving through the cattle population in India! It is a disease that in other countries would be stopped in its hooves by culling the cow

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.38 airing Sunday, 09-18-2022 featuring Cynthia, Phoebe Rose, and Malty.First up, the bans on abortions are still marching forward. So are the people trying to defend rights to choose. Even those who are not exactly heroes of abortions are joining in saying the total bans are way too extreme. Not even carve outs for rape or incest are safe. Is this going to fracture the issue and cause battle lines to be drawn in each party? Hard to say. Maybe the enemy of my enemy of their enemy of your enemy can pull themselves out of their own backside to do something? What a mess.Next up! Shhhhh if you listen closely you can hear exactly what agendas are being proposed. Just kidding you don’t have to be quiet at all because Dalton Clodfelter sure isn’t. He has become the latest in a ever growing list of shit sayers, saying the quiet things very loud indeed. It is to the point he wants to arrest with everyone who doesn’t think the say way he does. What does this list include? Well, let’s just sa

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.37 airing Sunday, 09-11-2022 featuring Jason Sherwood, Pseudonymousaurus Rex, Teo el Ateo and Kelley Laughlin.What an interesting show from the past we have for you this week. You see we sometimes record an episode and keep it in the vault on the off chance that something happens and we cannot get a show out to you.

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.36 airing Sunday, 08-28-2022 featuring Cynthia McDonald, August, Phoebe Rose and Cindy PlazaWe have fun with this episode as we explore the main theme of Jesus Pimpin’ Pimpin! So let’s just jump right into it!First up! We have a Sh!t Internet Apologists Say where a Missouri pastor says his congregation is poor, broke, and busted. Why does he say this? Well because they just won’t buy him a Movado watch! You know Kenneth Copeland knows his congregation loves him because of his quite large fleet of jets! Honestly, I was happy with my faux-mega watch I bought from a folding table one time…Next up, we Step in the Right Direction because Virginia just approved Gender dysphoria care is now covered by disability law! This is a great move seeing that Virginia is a quantum political experiment existing in both conservative and liberal spaces and only breaks down when you try to observe it. Can this, will this be a model for other states to build up other laws? Only time, and your vote will

The Non-Prophets episode 21.35 2022-08-28 with Secular Rarity, Scott Dickie and Kelley Laughlin.The show where we tell an Immature Florida that they Need a Ban on Christian Hoaxes. This week we have a Three Musketeers in Secular Rarity, Scott Dickie, and R Kelley Laughlin. I’ll let you debate who is whom. Let’s get to it!First up, we are on a watch, a POPE WATCH! Seem the pios pontifical papal pow-wow’d with prestigious people preferring perception of priority. (Hey you try getting good alliteration…). Pope Francis met with trans people at the Vatican and it seems this is not the first time. Did he want to personally send them to hell or is this another way he is trying to bride the gaps of old thinking and new tolerances? Hopefully he didn’t have another headdress gaff by just walking into whatever bathroom he wanted. Though since he wears a dress all the time…https://www.them.us/story/pope-franci...MOVING ON! Florida… You ok? You seem a little confused yet again. Let me ask you this. How can someone be so

So Join Secular Rarity kicking off this episode with new comer Dr Richard Firth-Godbehere, Nate Smith and myself for the latest episode. Will I finally get myself canceled? You be the judge!Up first, we ARE in Kansas, and they voted FOR abortion? What the whaa…? Yes it’s true, Kansas has voted to keep abortion protections in their state constitution. Does this mean Kansas is going Democrat? Well, there is so much more to it than that. We would have called it a step in the right direction, but it is going to take some wait and see to know where we are at.Next, we check in with the original residents of the US as they suspend Christian Missionary work! Seem they didn’t care for Christians saying Jesus is the only god and trampling over their spirituality and culture. I mean Americans woul

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.32 airing Sunday, August 7, 2022 featuring Cynthia, Mateo, Kelley and Malty.This week on The Non-Prophets we wanted to give you a little warning. You should always Watch out for Those Robber Alien cats! You never know when they are going to take over your area and steal all that you hold dear.

A Prosperity Pastor gets robbed of all his jewelry while he is giving a sermon! Hundreds of dollars… no wait, thousands of dollars… What? $1 mil

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.31 airing Sunday, July 24,2022 featuring Secular Rarity, Phoebe Rose, and Richard Gilliver.I got to tell ya. It’s a God Eat God World Out There. This week we got Secular Rarity leading a mostly British panel in Phoebe Rose and Richard Gilliver. Will They force poor Secular Rarity into appreciating tea and using nothing but metric, or is SR going to throw his own Boston Tea Party? Nah, likely they are going to have an amazing discussion over this weeks topics. Let’s get in it.First up, POPE WATCH! If it is one thing the Vatican doesn’t like it’s gays. No wait, If it is one thing the Vatican doesn’t like it’s people having the right to choose. Sorry, let me try this again. If it is one thing the Vatican doesn’t it’s competition! Seems like the German Catholic movement is getting a little too progressive for Pope Francis’ liking. So they are trying to pump the brakes on them.While we are on the topic of a movement not wanting to follow lock step, down there in Florida…. Hold on, ple

The Lord of Levels Jason Sherwood is back in the conductor chair where he is joined by our Scott Dickie, Richard Giliver and the cutest emo cartoon in Atheism Teo el Ateo!First up, Richard Giliver starts us off on Biden’s Executive Order to protect abortion rights.

Does it go far enough?Next on the docket, Scott Dickie takes us to his neck of the woods to discuss The Wisconsin Supreme Court handing down to the Republican-controlled State Senate broad authority over the makeup of state boards and commissions.
