Irreligiosophy

We answer questions submitted by our 7 or 8 listeners. Topics include Chuck's family life, Leighton's adventures, and our biggest regrets. We also break up the monotony with the occasional crazy Bible story.

Listener and number one fan Moggie puts together a very special retrospective on the first 99 episodes to buy us time to make the hundredth.

The concluding chapter of the Great Debate between Irreligiosophy and Jesus.

Into the lion's den once more for you, our listener, we brave the mighty onslaught of special pleading, arguments from ignorance, and just plain making shit up that is the Evidence 4 Faith crew. We present this debate unedited, in its original form, so that you may suffer just as much as we have.

For the final segment of Kent Hovind's earth-shattering, paradigm-changing, rectum-clenching doctoral dissertation, we have brought in expert Hovindologist Matt Wakefield.

We take on Hovind's intellectual treatise once again, covering the religion of evolutionism and consequences of evolution. We guarantee you will feel stupider for having listened, or your money back.

Author Ray Garton comes on the show to discuss his involvement in the whole Haunting in Connecticut fiasco, his experiences with the Warrens and the Snedekers, and anal rape.

Eli from Chariots of Iron comes on the show to discuss life, the universe, and everything.

Since the E4F guys have continued the debate without our presence, we take the time to carefully and respectfully respond to the claims they have made behind our backs.

We finally get to Chuck's research on Judaism, focusing on the inter-Testamental period. We cover the period of Hasmonean independence, Roman presence, life as a client-state of Rome and then as a province under direct rule, the events leading up to and following the destruction of the second Jewish Temple in 70 CE, and finally the disastrous Bar Kochba Rebellion of the 130s.

In this episode we discuss the frequently-heard Christian charge that Hitler was an atheist, and if not for Darwin we wouldn't have had Nazism or the Holocaust.

Tyler of More Than One Lesson comes on the show to discuss what assholes we were to make fun of his podcast last year. We talk about Christian filmmaking, Mormon filmmaking, and come up with a new term for Michael Moore-style documentaries. Also, we reveal the Skunk Dick of the Year for 2009.

We discuss the perennial holiday classic about a reindeer born disfigured with a gigantic crimson proboscis, which apparently Leighton has never seen (I honestly don't know how he functions in society). In it, we find a shocking tale of discrimination and prejudice, led by God himself as his alter ego Santa Claus. This episode is not for the faint of heart.

Roger Nygard joins us in this episode to talk about his newly-released documentary, The Nature of Existence, where he traveled around the world quizzing people of all faiths (or faithlessnesses) about who we are, why we're here, and what to do about it all. We also discuss his previous project, Trekkies. Most importantly, we get to talk about what a huge douchebag Orson Scott Card is.

We enter the lion's den for this podcast, appearing on a live radio broadcast by two evangelical Christians from the East Coast. Topics in this lively debate include Mormonism, atheism, arguments for and against the existence of God, and why our two podcasts seem to be mirror images of one another.
