Irreligiosophy
Summary: Irreligiosophy means “the wisdom of irreligion” — it is about questioning dogmas handed down uncritically to us and researching into the history, practice, and theology of various religions. It’s about scrutinizing religious claims with a skeptical eye and placing them in historical perspective. But ultimately, Irreligiosophy 2.0 is really about arming atheists to wage the culture war with arguments and reason. We focus on Christianity because that is the religion that we are most confronted by in our daily lives, but we see all religion and all irrationality as threats to the continued advancement of knowledge, progress, and social justice.

Leaping head first into the creation-evolution wars, we fire five salvos: ERVs, chromosomal fusion, shared pseudogenes, duck dicks, and Tiktaalik. It's like learning Jedi mind tricks against creationists.
This episode we chat with David Michael, an atheist never-Mormon who decided to voluntarily read the Book of Mormon, on purpose, and make a podcast about it. Also a few Skunkdicks and Matt gets a word in edgewise.
In this episode we examine the "objective morality" of God as documented in his Holy Word. Unsurprisingly, we find that the God of the Jews is not quite so omnibenevolent as we've been led to believe.
This episode covers LDS claims about Hebrew ancestry for the Native Americans. Is it possible to put these claims to a scientific test? If so, what does DNA say about Mormonism? Spoiler alert: Mormons won't like the answer.
I'm taking the month off to celebrate freedom from financial bondage, but since we already recorded some stuff, why not release it and pretend like it's some sort of mini episode?
Sweet Jesus, another gospel! We've reached the final fourth narrative about Jesus, this one as different from the previous three as the previous three were different from the Infinity Man. Plus, more Skunk Dicks!
Bill Nye the Science Guy takes on Ken Ham the Observational Bloke in a debate for the ages, and we listened to it so you don't have to.
Matt takes the reins of the podcast and demonstrates his anthropological expertise by taking us through the 9 levels of Norse existence, from the beginning of Ginnungagap all the way to Ragnarok. All of this has been scientifically verified, of course.
For the first episode of the new year, we relive the skunkiest dicks of the last year. Beware, extremely stinky people ahead!
If you've ever wondered why we set up pagan symbols of life and rebirth around the winter solstice or deck our halls with boughs of holly, this podcast is for you.
Our geek-centric discussion with atheist Kerry Jackson of X-96 "Radio from Hell" and the Geekshow podcast concludes with some heated back and forth about the shittiness (or lack thereof) of Star Trek: Into Darkness, how Kerry can call himself a geek and yet not have seen the Transformers movie, and more.
We finish our in-depth coverage of the Gospel According to Saint Luke by focusing in on he famous parables found only in Luke, like the one where Jesus says to drag unbelievers in front of him and slaughter them.
