368 - Dan Visits The Left Show

Dan's work has been absolutely nuts lately and he's been putting in 10 to 14-hour days throughout the week. He also had a bit of a work emergency when we were supposed to record, so we didn't end up recording a regular episode of the Godless Rebelution. The good news is that some old friends of the show, JM Bell and JC Carter, were looking for a guest to fill a spot and record an episode of The Left Show with them on Sunday before the Super Bowl, so Dan was lucky enough to chat with them for a w...

367 - On Joe Rogan

We have complained about his anti-science, anti-trans, and conspiratorial views in prior episodes, but Joe Rogan has only recently come under intense fire as a backlash for providing a platform for unhinged lunatics (including himself) to spread misinformation regarding COVID-19 and vaccinations. But has the intense pressure actually accomplished anything? Has it created any real and lasting change for the better? Or has it all been a waste of a lot of time and energy that could be better-spent ...

366 - Popes and (Tele)Scopes

Taylor was out with a corneal abrasion, so Dan and Ryan talked about the fact that the nonagenarian former pontiff of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI, was recently caught in a lie about his attendance at a meeting to discuss child abuse allegations. He previously told investigators he didn't attend the meeting (presumably because he didn't want to admit he personally knew about sexual abuse allegations and then didn't do much of anything about them), but the investigative team has documen...

365 - Mormon American Idol

David Archuleta is an American pop singer, a former contestant for Star Search and American Idol , and is a current member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church). He is also gay and has been having a lot of internal struggles trying to reconcile who he is with the faith he was indoctrinated into - a faith that requires him to never act on what it refers to as "the challenge of same-sex attraction." We talk about David's recently posted video on Instagram in which ...

364 - Insurrection Retrospection

It's been a whole year since a mob of rabid, easily-duped, Trump-supporting, credulous, Christian Nationalist insurrectionists stormed the United States Capitol complex as part of an effort to dismantle democracy and overturn the results of a free and fair election because their orange savior lost. We take a look back at what happened, the events leading up to it, the aftermath, and discuss the existential fear gripping the rational inhabitants of this nation.

363 - Selling Sex in Mormon Utah

Steve Cuno is an author, copywriter, widower, father, grandfather, skeptic, and "marketing know-it-all" who joined us to talk about his new book, Behind the Mormon Curtain: Selling Sex in America's Holy City . He spent years researching, conducting interviews, writing, and editing this book, and it shows. What Steve initially envisioned as a collection of light-hearted and comedic stories turned into a much more interesting and nuanced examination of the sex work industry in Utah. He takes us be...

362 - Why Do Atheists Choose Marriage?

Patreon patron, author, German Shepherd haver, former (and upcoming!) guest, and all-around terrific human being, Steve Cuno, contacted us with a great (and timely) topic for discussion: Why do atheists marry? We also cover these items in the Patreon bonus portion of the show: Criminal god-botherer Shane Vaughn says Obama became POTUS because he was chosen by "demonic powers" Chris Wallace leaves Fox News Robert Jeffress says the Biden administration is the "ungodliest administration in the hist...

361 - Abortion Argumentation

Religious conservatives on the Supreme Court seem determined to abort a woman's civil right to control what happens to her own body, and we're here to give you some good talking points to push back against the ignorant ramblings of your bumblefuck friends and relatives. Patrons get a longer version of the show this week thanks to a plumber finding hundreds of envelopes stuffed with cash and checks in the wall of a bathroom at Joel Osteen's megachurch.

359 - A Decent Proposal

Michael Flynn thinks we need to have only one religion in America. Hmm… which one would that be? Also in this episode: Steve Bannon may eventually spend some time in jail for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena. Threats from the Trumpsters are on the rise. Should we be concerned? The Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan has been signed, and us lefties should be taking a victory lap instead of whining that we didn't get everything we want. Dan pops the big question 😲 Patreon supporters ge...

358 - Foundations Made of Bullshit

Christian author, right-wing ideologue, protester puncher , and former anti-Trumper turned Trump ball-gargler, Eric Metaxas, recently penned an article for Fox News full of unsupported and self-defeating arguments against atheism wherein he attempted to argue that atheism is "the enemy of freedom." We pick apart his article and highlight some of the many bullshit views that are currently rattling around inside Metaxas' well-coiffed noggin.

357 - It‘s OK to Say F*ck

You may have recently heard the phrase "Let’s go, Brandon." It is a new right-wing shibboleth that stems from an October NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Driver Brandon Brown won the race and was being interviewed by an NBC reporter. The crowd behind Brandon was chanting something that was initially difficult to understand, so the reporter suggested they were chanting "Let's go, Brandon" to cheer on Mr. Brown. It later became clear that the crowd was chanting "Fuck Joe Bide...

356 - Turning Points USA

Turning Points USA is a campus organization dedicated to spreading conservative propaganda while attempting to recruit young people into conservatism. It was founded in 2012 by everybody's least favorite giant-headed man-baby, Charlie Kirk, the same day he graduated high school. Also, we're happy to report that it wasn't the broccoli. You'll understand that later. Patreon supporters get early access to the show, bonus episodes, clips from the cutting room floor, and extended editions of the show...

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.

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 ...

347 - The LDS Church is Fundamentally Broken

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 ...

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...

344 - Fascism is Colonialism Turned Inwards

Conservatives have switched from denying that the events of January 6, 2021, were an insurrection to blaming Nancy Pelosi for allowing it to happen. The delta variant is ripping through the unvaccinated population and pushing our hospitals and medical professionals to the breaking point once again.

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.
