Whew, that took a while. In episode 40 we finish our scholarly study of the book of Acts, covering chapters 10-28 which is basically a lot of boring stuff about Paul. Also, we talk about some Skunk Dicks, launch into a new Matt’s Anthropology Corner, get a sponsor and reveal a Special Announcement. All packed into this one interminable episode.

In this long-time-in-coming new episode, we talk about Luke: Part II, also known as Acts, or sometimes, the Acts of the Apostles. Crazy stuff abounds, people get healed by shadows, thousands of people convert after a single sermon, tongues are spoken in, and people’s heads catch on fire or something. It’s a little hard to swallow.

Also, Skunk Dicks and a new feature, Matt’s Anthropology Corner.

Curious who most made a skunk dick out of themselves in 2014? Who smelled the worst? How much of 2014 Chuck can remember? All this and more in this, the skunkiest of episodes.

We skip skunk dicks and dive head-first into finishing our critique of one of the finest pieces of Christian cinema this side of Fireproof. Will freshman and unflappable Christian extraordinaire Josh Wheaton convince the class that God’s not dead? Will atheist asshole Professor Hercules treat his girlfriend with respect? Most importantly, will the Oscar-worthy salutatorian who went to her third-choice school just to be with her boyfriend in spite of what her mother always said ever return to the film?

Wow, God must exist because there’s no other explanation for this horrible travesty of a Christian film. It is supernaturally bad. In part one of an 8 part series, we cover the first half of God’s Not Dead, which is apparently just a Jack Chick tract with a larger budget. Josh Wheaton, heroic fresh-faced Christian meets Professor Douchebag Radisson who is a militant atheist who tries to get every one of his philosophy students to sign a pledge stating God is dead. Josh refuses, and so engages our dickish professor in mortal combat, philosophy-style. Guest-starring film teacher Noah, best known as the guy who almost got his ass sued by Kirk Hastings.

So for this go round we decided to talk about God’s morality. Since we’ve got a nice big fat book documenting his holy actions, let’s crack it open and see just what the omnibenevolent Ruler of the Universe has been up to. What’s this? Genocide? Sex slavery? Child murder?

Yeah, that sounds about right. Also iTunes reviews and some more skunk dicks.

And a special bonus: this episode’s notes!
