Dr. Darrel Ray joins us for an in-depth look at his "Sex and Secularism Survey." In this episode we talk about sex and how religion can fuck that up.

A few questions have been asked, here we get the answers.
Christianity left Rich Too Fucked up to Fuck. The story of how a man experienced sexual abuse, and with the loving help of another, recovered. If you have sexual issues stemming from religion, this is NOT an episode to miss. Mentioned in this episode: Dan Savage: http://www.thestranger.com/savage and his podcast: http://podcasts.thestranger.com/savagelove/
Unfaithfully Yours Rich Lyons has told you about some of the lows he has experienced in life, now he is joined by his wonderful wife Deanna Joy Lyons to describe their wonderful life together. A life without faith.
People have asked how I went from UPCI pastor, ultra-right-wing Bible-thumping young-earth christian to atheist. This episode answers that question. WARNING: If you still consider yourself one of the faithful, this would be the one to skip, because it will ask questions that may cause your house of cards to crumble.
