[irrelig]The dark times are over, the drought has receded, Irreligiosophy has finally returned from the clouds like one unto a son of man. In preparation for the One True Podcast on Proposition 8, we briefly highlight several past episodes of LDS political involvement, beginning with early clashes between the members of the LDS church and their neighbors, through the polygamy fiasco that almost destroyed it, and wind up with a newly emboldened church that nearly single-handedly defeats the ERA and Hawaii’s recent battle for gay marriage rights.
But go easy on our servers. It’s been a while.

Finally, thank-you! Ok, I’m going to listen first, and comment later!
What in tarnation is this new-fangled podcast thingy? Oh well happy birthday to me! Thanks slackers XD
Yay. Now work won’t be so boring for an hour.
Thanks guys, I’ve been waiting a long time for this, and I hope that this message gets through to you because for some reason (?) you guys have been blocking me!
I can’t wait to listen to this, THANKS CHUCK AND LEIGHTON.
Just listened to the podcast, you know the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder? After listening to this episode you guys have proved the inverse is true, presence makes the heart grow nauseous. Five Stars!!!

Our work here is done.
It’s about fucking time. Irrelgiosophy is truly the greatest podcast ever.
OMG – You are BACK! LOL
Glad to see you in my downloads again!
Well worth the wait !!!! But if you guys ever pull this kind of shit again, as gog is my witness i’ll fly over there and kick your ex-mormon asses. I jest, you guys rule
Obligatory death threat to chuck’s wife
but seriously good episode and i hadn’t even heard of the anti ERA organizing before. Thanks for coming back.
I FORGIVE YOU!
YES!
I haven’t listened yet, but it’s great to have you back. (I can only listen to so many repeats!)
I hope all is well with your wife, Chuck.
I made my Mom pissed of this weekend over my disbelief, using a lot of the material you’ve supplied me. So even in your absence, you’ve entertained me.
Hopefully we won’t have to wait 2 months for # 83
Very offensive! Would listen again! A+++++++++++
It’s a just-after-halloween-and-kind-of-far-from-thanksgiving miracle!!!!!
The reappearance of this podcast is a miracle! This proves that Chuck and Leighton merged together to form one entity… The Great Pumpkin! Praise be to you Great Pumpkin!
Thank you so much guys! I didn’t know all that stuff about the Mormons and the ERA. Listening made me depressed because I can’t believe male and female Mormon’s would spend so much time, money, and energy trying to retard equal rights for women. It is so sad. I am in academia and it’s a big boys club. So much potential lies in women, and they are not only forced to the background, but they actually believe they belong there.
Awesome, can’t wait to listen 😀
Ahhh…Chuck and Leighton…once again opening windows in the ancient, stale-fart filled room that is religion.
If we’re gonna talk about gays and prop 8 then bring back the GAY PENGUINS!!!
Whee! Thanks 🙂
An awesome account of Mormon machinations! I feel much better now.
Welcome back, slacker shitheads… 😉
It’s about time. Your chodes make my favorite podcast. Now get started making another, for free!
A very informative episode, as always, and proving once again that when it comes to religion, you just can’t make that shit up.
Excellent, brilliant, phenomenal, superb, terrific, marvelous, amazing, exceptional, breathtaking, wonderful, awesome … they’re all words in the dictionary, go look them up.
As for Leighton, there is no doubt that he is the product of an unnatural relationship between a native american and a water buffalo.
You both make me puke, you pair of detestable front-bums, but when I stop and think about it … you are my type of fiend
When did relationships between water buffalos and humans fall under the stigma of “unnatural”? I’ve really got to start paying attention to pop culture.
OMG OMG OMG OMG *throws panties onstage* *weeps* *faints* *barfs unconsciously*
Just checking my calendar, oh! It’s Tuesday! Something’s missing…..bring it/ping it, bitches.
Consider it brung.
