[irrelig]This week we have Emma, a former Catholic school girl who emerged nearly normal from her religious upbringing which included retreats, Catholic school, confirmation, lumpy dove candles, and so much more.
Don’t miss out, it’s all right here.

More Aussie Catholic school girls.
Nice show guys.
I loved hearing “put you head down, your bum up, and suck it up” in an Australian accent… Best interview to date.
Check this out guys!!

maybe god was mad they were idolizing concrete and steel?!
Please. No photos of Chuck in a thong of any kind.
A nice change of pace on this podcast.
So you want Leighton in a thong instead?
Angry Budgie: No. I’m hoping that by saying not to wear a thong…Chuck will be true to form and wear one.
Check out Mormon Church on PZ’s Blog.
Liars for Jeusus
Great show guys… thoroughly enjoyable. Scary part was when Emma was asked to do an Amercican accent and she goes into some rapper lingo. Hate to think that’s how the world sees us…
How do you send email to these guys?
I’m not seeing any link on the website.
The contact link is well-hidden under the “Fan Mail” section: irreligiosophy AT gmail.com.
The dove candle story was my favourite bit. great show 🙂
You were asking about what part of the body of Christ you are eating; here you go:

Awesome podcast and Emma is great. I lost my faith in catholicism when my uncle told me that there was a different demon for each of the 7 deadly sins and that the demon of sloth was making me sleep in on Saturdays.
You guys are great with interviews! … “What up?” Some 80s/90s lingo there. Emma, lingo fads come and go quickly here in the U.S.! Now you have to say, “Oh snap.” It’s nice to hear a female putting Leighton in his place.
You guys are incredibly ignorant about Catholicism. (e.g. “Jesuits are Catholic?”) Catholics have not contested evolution or old earth theories for ages. Fundies do that, and fundies hate Catholics. Let’s get the priorities straight. Oh and, by the way, please, please, have more guests on, you do such great interviews, I can’t wait for the next one.
Peace, love and vodka.
What do you mean “you guys”? That does it, another month of guests!
@Minus – Are you talking about the same Catholics that try to outlaw abortion every other week? The same people that advocate not using contraception. They might not contest evolution (which I’m not entirely sure is true.) or say the earth is flat (any more) but it’s not like they are super enlightened either.
Hi Kerwin,
Actually pope john the last issued an encyclical or whatever they call it that said evolution was probably true. I don’t know how that doesn’t contradict Eden and original sin and all that, but that’s not my problem. I’m not saying RCC is enlightened. Please don’t take anything I say here (or anywhere else) too seriously.
ooo
