Godless Heathens Podcast

How much should non-believers be afraid of new Speaker Mike Johnson? Afraid enough to make sure he's only the minority leader in 2024 is the correct answer btw. Also Jerry tries but fails to stop saying "you know".

Why does the mainstream media want to hear from Russell Moore so much lately? Do they love heretics that much? Is he one? And do progressives need him more than needs us? So many questions. Oh, and we also text with Jesus [https://textwith.me/jesus/]. The free version at least. * There are too many recent Russell Moore links to put in one pod description.

How much have you really listened to RFK Jr.? We only knew the usual bullet points too, but don't dismiss his appeal or the potential havoc his candidacy could cause next year. Or this year even.  A couple of New Yorker podcasts inspired this show:  * The conspiracy theories of RFK Jr. [https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/political-scene/the-conspiracy-theories-of-robert-f-kennedy-jr] The most insightful 30 minutes you'll hear on this topic. Our analysis and reaction from it is a close second though. * A mysterious 3rd party enters the 2024 political race. [https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/political-scene/a-mysterious-third-party-enters-the-2024-presidential-race] It's not too mysterious though, it's right wingers trying to spike the Democratic nominee. Don't get sucked in.  Special guest appearances by all of our dogs. They had a lot to say this week, though it all just came out as "bark".

No, not like the Anne Rice novels, but a chat about Satanism and the Satanic Temple with a friend of the pod. Stick around, you just might learn something, hey hey hey... Linkage: * Hail Satan documentary [http://www.hailsatanfilm.com/] * Interview with the author of The Little Book of Satanism [https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2022/10/30/the-little-book-of-satanism-author-la-carmina-talks-debunking-the-satanic-panic/?sh=7a67d80a208e] * Satanic Temple campaigns [https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/campaigns]

A special guest enters the chat for episode 125, a word that Jeff understandably had trouble saying, because how often to you celebrate the 125th anniversary of anything? Discuss.  The usual amount of Hopium is vaped when talking about the Fox News settlement, while huffing a new strain of "Consequencium", that has the same bitter aftertaste of burnt hope. Don't burst our bubble... join us in it.
