  • When Your Tire Blows—and So Does the Logic of Religious Hypotheses | Atheism vs Christianity
    2025/05/12

    So, picture this: you're cruising along, minding your own business, and then bam—your tire blows out like your last attempt at a New Year’s resolution. Fun, right? But here's where it gets interesting: I'm an atheist, and mid-crisis, I wondered, "What would a hardcore Christian do right now?"

    I’ll give you a hint: they’d pray for a miracle—and still end up calling the same damn tow truck. Because no matter how holy your beliefs are, God apparently doesn’t do roadside assistance.

    In today’s episode, I use a blown-out tire as a metaphor (and a real-life annoyance) to dig into how atheists and christians handle life’s crap storms. Spoiler: prayers don’t replace spare tires—or reality.

    We’ll also get into:

    🚩 Divorce: Why stay in a miserable marriage when Jesus isn’t even paying the bills? 🩹 Faith Healers: Miraculously healing everyone but themselves—how convenient. 🕯️ Cancer Prayers: God saves one, lets the other die… does He play favorites or just roll dice?

    👶 Adoption: Why are two gay atheists suspect, but two abusive Christians somehow fit to parent?

    Moral of the story? Life’s hard. Faith won’t change the fact that tires pop, cancer spreads, and marriages fall apart. So buckle up—because divine intervention isn’t coming, but this episode definitely is.

  • Jesus Loves Everyone (Except If You're Black, Brown, or Banned)
    2025/05/11

    Welcome to America’s new favorite pastime: legalizing racism… but with holy intentions! In this episode, we dive into how Christian nationalist groups are miraculously granted the divine right to discriminate — and how courts are increasingly siding with religious bigotry over actual justice.

    We’ll talk about the real-life consequences of these faith-based hate campaigns, the court cases that show how racism hides behind the Bible, and the Iowa law that basically handed Christianity a "get out of civil rights free" card.

    Because nothing says “freedom” like a system that lets you oppress others in the name of God. 🤷‍♀️

    👉 If you’re tired of watching religion be weaponized to stomp on the rights of people of color and minorities, pull up a pew. You’ll need the whole communion wafer for this one.

  • Christian Persecution? Yeah, Tell That to the Atheists Getting Burned at the Stake..Metaphorically
    2025/05/05

    Today we’re diving deep into the REAL discrimination happening in America — not the imaginary “Christian persecution” Fox News whines about every Christmas. Nope. We're talking about the actual persecution faced by atheists and minority religions, historically and today. From laws soaked in biblical dogma to school systems turning into Sunday School Lite, Christian nationalism isn’t just knocking at the door — it’s kicking it down and baptizing your living room.

    And of course, we can’t forget the orange elephant in the room: MAGA — a Christian nationalist cult with Trump as their golden calf in a cheap suit.

    So... who’s really being persecuted here? 🤔 Christians... or the people they’re trying to legislate out of existence?

    Leave your answer in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

  • Christians Leave Hate, But We Stay Civil: Atheists, Be the Adult in the Room
    2025/05/02

    This week, I respond to a wave of hateful comments left on my YouTube channel by Christians who clearly only watched the shorts--but not the full episodes where I actually explain my views. Instead of matching their hate with more hate, I'm calling on fellow atheists to take the higher road. We must be the adults in the room. My podcast exists to educate, not to fuel division. So if you see hate, report it--and keep the conversation intelligent and strong.

    This is also the first episode back after losing most of my voice--I'm glad to be back and sounding much better!

  • Important Message: Turn Volume Up
    2025/04/29

    This message is about stereotyping and what it does to someone like me and others. I can only whisper as my voice is bad from being sick and now having a bad cold from it.But I felt this important.

  • The False Claim that Christians are Being Persecuted
    2025/04/27

    Christians often claim they are being persecuted, but it’s really the other way around. Minorities are the ones who are persecuted by the christian majority. When the Christian majority cannot overstep their boundaries, and someone questions their belief system, they cry “persecution”. Christianity has always sought to dominate over others.

    This video consists of highlights from a YouTube Live broadcast I did on April 23, 2025. I have been very sick in recent days and it has developed into a bad cold which has also affected my throat and voice. I will not be able to put out new long-form videos for possibly the next few days. But will hopefully be back in full function soon.

  • Dead Brains and Divine Claims: Science Ruins the Vibe Again
    2025/04/24

    Ever noticed how the stuff Christians really want you to believe--miracles, the afterlife, invisible sky judges--can't actually be tested, proven, or even mildly verified by science? That's because, according to them, it's all "outside time, space, and reality." Convenient, right?

    In today's episode, we break down why "just believe!" doesn't cut it, how near-death experiences are more brain chemistry than divine Uber rides to Heaven, and why we shouldn't have to live under laws built on someone else's unprovable fantasy novel. Strap in--this one might raise your blood pressure AND your IQ.
