We start out jabbering about gay rights, and how some prominent businesses have taken sides in support of or opposition to gay marriage.

We give some basics about the modern church, and talk about Joseph Smith's life prior to his more famous involvement founding one of the largest and most enduring new religious movements in America.

We have a super-fun discussion about the logical fallacy known as post hoc ergo propter hoc: Latin for "after this, therefore because of this". This occurs when one assumes that one event caused another simply because it came first. Erik also discusses several of his recent experiences interacting with Christians who struggle to understand that not everyone is interested in their religion, as well as some bible verses.

A discussion about Pascal's Wager: a dubious bet for 350 years. We also start introducing logical fallacies by discussing the no true Scotsman fallacy.

Episode 3: Atheism and Accepting Evidence of God We continue our discussion of atheism, going beyond simply discussing the definition. The discussion is as follows: Go back and listen to episode 2! Is Atheism a belief system? Can we be convinced that God exists? What sort of evidence would we accept?

Episode 2: Atheism We discuss the word atheism and toss around a couple of definitions we have heard before. Find us online at: nontheology.com facebook.com/nontheology

Episode 1: Deconversion Stories Our first podcast out the door. Nothing too serious in this episode, just talking about our deconversion and background. The original recording was well over an hour, but the audio engineer had to edit out the 20 minutes Erik spent screaming, crying, and rolling around on the floor. To make it sound more normal, we broke that time up over the episode to make it sound like Erik was just laughing. Erik never actually laughs. Stay tuned: more to come.
