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.

Time for the Skunkies! Use this thread to nominate your favorite Skunk Dick of 2014. Know of someone who fits the phallic mold? Someone who has been extra stinky this year? Someone, perhaps, who looked in their Kringle-filled stocking only to find a lump of coal? Well don’t hold out on us. For baby Jesus’s sake, let us know!

And once more we delve into the realm of crappy stop-motion animated holiday films with Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, a Kris Kringle origin story that purports to explain the Santa mythos. That mythos, apparently, involves some suspicious lap-sitting, our own gay penguin, and lots of inappropriate scenes involving children.

Yep, sounds like Santa to me.

Episode 36, wherein we have a debate with audio clips of Sye Ten Bruggencate, which as far as I can tell is exactly the same experience as having an actual debate with Sye Ten Bruggencate. Which he refused to do any way. So listen up if you want to be able to tackle the extremely unimportant philosophical precepts that were stolen from actual philosophers and pressed into service by the idiots who currently bandy about this nonsense apologetic, Sye Ten Bruggencate and Eric Hovind.

And if that wasn’t enough skunk dicks for you, we do another one too.

I would like your feedback on a question that’s been nagging at me for the last few days: the utility of this, the main Irreligiosophy site. When we started in 2009, this was the only place a person could comment apart from iTunes reviews, and we got to a point where the discussion was pretty lively (anyone remember the forums?). Now that the (vast?) majority of that conversation has moved over to the Facebook group, is there any reason to continue updating this site? Or should I just freeze it as it is, stop updating the site with every podcast, and just place a final link that points over to where most of the action is?

And here we have our Halloween episode, for the first time I think released prior to the holiday. How about that! This one’s about a little doll that is either possessed by a cultist named Annabelle or maybe possessed by the demon who possessed Annabelle, I don’t know, I’m not an expert on this stuff like the Warrens!

And spoiler alert! The skunk dick this time is Halloween candy. You heard that right.

In episode 34 we talk about the recent and not-so-recent allegations of sexism with the atheist movement, specifically the three prominent atheists Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and Michael Shermer. All three are in hot water over sexist comments or questionable behavior, which raises the question, just how rampant is sexism within the atheist movement? Guest starring rabid fan Leela Moses.

Oh, and Skunk Vaginas too. Because feminism.

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.
