ScathingAtheist 334: Mama Bear Edition
Added 2019-07-11 05:08:00 +0000 UTCSorry for the late drop. Working on a disturbingly small amount of sleep, but we'll get it together by next week, we promise.
Shownotes:
In this week’s episode, America votes meh on religion, the Church of England lowers itself into a vat of molten steel and gives us a thumbs up, and Eli will present a book report that never quite gets to the book.

It always amuses me how right-wingers think THEY are somehow the real “counter-culture” despite having all the money and political power just because some social progress occasionally sneaks past them.

2019-07-11 20:18:18 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, I don't get the paradox in the eighth story. Can't they just deny that trans people exist and tell people they're in a hetero marriage, despite what they say? I know plenty of people who wouldn't have any cognitive dissonance with this.

2019-07-11 13:19:40 +0000 UTCIf there is a law that 'unprotects' priests somewhere, all we need to do to get a conviction is to have a former catholic, go to confession and falsely confess a crime of child abuse. Then turn the bastard in when he doesn't call the cops.
