Godless Rebelution

We were hoping to host a live show with an audience this year, but the anti-mask, anti-vax, anti-science, selfish assholes of the world made that basically impossible.   Jeff has been a Patreon supporter for quite a while, so it was nice to be able to have him join us in-studio for this episode.   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   You can find the Godless Rebelution around the Internet at these links: Website: http://www.godlessrebelution.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/godlessrebelution Podbean: http://www.godlessrebelution.podbean.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-godless-rebelution/godless-rebelution iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/godless-rebelution/id872416298 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/GodlessRebelution FB Page: http://www.facebook.com/GodlessRebelution FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GodlessRebelution Instagram: https

Did you know that Prager U is not an actual university? If so, you're way ahead of loads of other people, but we're sure you'll still learn a lot more during this episode.   Prager U, standing for "Prager University" is the brainchild of conservative talk radio host Dennis Prager. Prager U presents five-minute videos on more than 300 topics - from the Israeli apartheid, to gun control, to socialism. Dennis Prager says he wants, "the best thinkers presenting their best ideas." Their goal: to "undo [the] damage" inflicted by an education system that teaches US students that their country is “a land of inequality and racism” and a place of which to be “ashamed.”   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   You can find the Godless Rebelution around the Internet at these links: Website:http://www.godlessrebelution.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/godlessrebelution Podbean: http://www.godlessrebelution.podbean

There were two major developments within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this month that have exposed the conservative rot within. The first was an announcement made on the LDS Church's website titled, "First Presidency urges Latter-day Saints to wear masks, be vaccinated." This seemingly innocuous appeal from the church's leaders to get their membership to help stop the spread of a deadly pandemic sent many conservative members into a full meltdown, with many of them officially resigning from the church.   The second item of note seemed to come as a hopeful reassurance to the church's more conservative members to let them know the church wasn't moving to the left. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the church's Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and former President of Brigham Young University delivered a speech at the private, Mormon-owned school wherein he asserted that the university needed to stop being so friendly to the church's LGBTQ+ members and that he wanted to "hear a little more musket fire

Ryan and Taylor are both military veterans who, like every member of America's military over the last two decades, served during the war in Afghanistan. Ryan's military service had him spend time in Afghanistan, and Taylor served in a position of support for our service members there. Suffice it to say they have more than a passing knowledge of the decades-long war the United States is now exiting.   Dan was dealing with some flooding issues at home and wasn't able to join Ryan and Taylor for this episode, but he'll be back next week.   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   You can find the Godless Rebelution around the Internet at these links: Website: http://www.godlessrebelution.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/godlessrebelution Podbean: http://www.godlessrebelution.podbean.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-godless-rebelution/godless-rebelution iTunes: https://itunes.app

Natasha Helfer is a Certified Sex Therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT); a Clinical Fellow through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT); a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist; and was, until recently, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was excommunicated from the Mormon church after treating her patients using science and evidence-based therapies which often come into conflict with the religious teachings of her former faith.   Natasha's story received national attention and has been featured by dozens of media outlets.   In addition to all of her experience and bona fides, Natasha is also an absolutely fantastic conversationalist, so we were delighted that she was able to join us for a lengthy in-studio interview.   We had a minor technical issue that forced us to make some changes to our editing process and caused the delay in getting this out, so you may notice that t

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church), God's "perfect and restored" faith has a long history of revising its problematic doctrine in an effort to play catch-up and conform with a modern sense of morality and mainstream Christianity. But their latest attempt to rewrite the church's teachings and doctrines is beyond the pale.   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   Closing Song: Sisterbot - Number Six (feat.

Ordinarily, we're not the type of show to wade into the Atheist Internet Wars, but we felt it was important to interrupt our Christian Nationalism series to offer a modicum of support to Thomas Smith who has worked his ass off to be as affirming and supportive of "the left" as possible. He was recently attacked (unjustly so, in our humble opinions), so this episode is dedicated to shoring up support for the good works he has done.   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   You can find the Godless Rebelution around the Internet at these links: Website: http://www.godlessrebelution.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/godlessrebelution Podbean: http://www.godlessrebelution.podbean.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-godless-rebelution/godless-rebelution iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/godless-rebelution/id872416298 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/GodlessRebelution F

Anti-masker, anti-lockdown, anti-vax, anti-choice, anti-intellectualism, anti-government (for chrissake!) right-wing lunatic Ammon Bundy recently announced his candidacy for Governor of Idaho. But before he was a wannabe politician, Bundy was a wannabe hero who thought it would be a good idea to engage federal officials in not one, but two armed standoffs. He should have been locked up for each of these offenses, but… well, you'll just have to listen to this episode to find out why this dangerous fuckwit is still allowed to roam our streets making life worse for all of us.   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   You can find the Godless Rebelution around the Internet at these links: Website: http://www.godlessrebelution.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/godlessrebelution Podbean: http://www.godlessrebelution.podbean.com Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-godless-rebelution/godless-rebelution

The Founding Fathers are the subject of this second installment in our multi-episode coverage of Christian Nationalism. Heroic embellishments, tall tales, and outright lies have been promulgated about America's Founding Fathers since our country's inception. Plenty of "scholars" have created or repeated complete fabrications regarding the beliefs and religious practices of the framers of our constitution as part of a broader effort to promote the false notion that America is a Christian nation.   It's Pride Month, so we also talk about a recent familial dust-up regarding anti-LGBTQ bigotry during the opening segment of the show.

This is the first installment of a multi-episode series talking about the scourge that is Christian Nationalism. We start off by addressing some of the inaccurate history lessons we were taught in grade school. Suffice it to say in these notes that the story of America's Pilgrims isn't really all about Thanksgiving and getting along with the indigenous peoples of this land.   Also, Dan wants everybody to know that he skipped a family pool party to stay home and edit the show for you, dear listener. It was probably for the best anyway, because he's a soulless ginger who gets a burn if someone even mentions the word "sun" in a sentence.   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   You can find the Godless Rebelution around the Internet at these links: Website: http://www.godlessrebelution.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/godlessrebelution Podbean: http://www.godlessrebelution.podbean.com Stitcher: h

With 333 episodes under our belt, we're halfway to being fully evil.

Liz Cheney has been removed from her congressional leadership post as the latest mile marker along the road of the Republican party's journey into authoritarian fascism. While discussing this latest bout of fuckery, one question kept getting repeated: has the Republican party ever really been for anything that would improve the lives of their fellow Americans? There are plenty of things we know the Republican party stands against, but what are they actually working toward? They no longer even have a party platform aside from supporting a one-term former president who lost the White House and both houses of Congress for their party.   Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show!   You can find the Godless Rebelution around the Internet at these links: Website: http://www.godlessrebelution.com Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/godlessrebelution Podbean: http://www.godlessrebelution.podbean.com Stitcher: http:/

Eesh. We apologize for the delay in getting this episode out. Work has been killing Dan the last two weeks. Episode 331 is in the can & should be available within the next few days.   We cover Biden's State of the Union speech in this episode and, yes, we know that's not technically what it was called. Overall, it was a great speech full of incredibly progressive plans on how to unfuck ourselves and pave the way for a brighter future for generations to come.   And then there's Tim Scott.
