This week, we are putting on our skeptic glasses and looking at some very commonly held beliefs that are completely wrong! How many spiders do we swallow in a year? The answer might surprise you. Unless you think about it for a few minutes. Then it seems pretty obvious.Geeks Without God tarafından oluşturuldu

Sorry we skipped a week but we had a good reason – Tim’s mom died! And while that sucks, it gives us a great opportunity to talk about the experience of losing a loved one of faith and having to deal with all that faith stuff while you are grieving and that faith stuff means nothing to you. Maybe not the most positive of topics but hey – maybe you …

We scour the news for some topics this week. In the “God and Technology” category, we talk about AI Godbots and a bible museum in Philadelphia that is closing because, apparently, nobody went to it. In the “late stage capitalism” category, we talk about Uber and Lyft pulling out of Minneapolis because they would rather not pay their drivers than ra…

This week, we take a look at Lisa Frankenstein, a movie written by Diablo Cody. The movie is kind of a parody of 80’s horror movies and definitely takes inspiration from the original Frankenstein. We spoil the shit out of it but we all had our problems with this one. You might like it, though, so feel free to ignore this episode if you like!…

This week is another boner episode where we talk about whatever geeky things have us super excited right now. Also, we make juvenile dick jokes. Because we are fourteen. If you’d like to know why we chose the title “Grimacing Boners,” you will just have to listen to find out!Geeks Without God tarafından oluşturuldu

Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Toulouse – chapelle des reliques – Confessionnal PM31000752We had a guest cancel at the last minute this week so we had to come up with a topic in a hurry. We decided to check in as far as where we are with being atheists compared to where we were when we started this podcast almost 13 years ago. It never hurts to check …

A still from the “Love your Enemies” He Gets Us commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. Image courtesy of He Gets UsThis week, we are talking about the billion (with a B) dollar ad campaign called He Gets Us. They had ads during the last two Super Bowls and have a big presence on Reddit. It seems to be a nice, friendly kind of Christianity but…

This week, we are discussing a Christian movie so bad, it makes God is Dead look like an Oscar worth film. Gramps Goes to College, suggested by former friend of the show Jeremy Stomberg, is a badly written, badly filmed, and badly acted story about a 62 year old computer programmer who is a chess grand master, tennis champion, and basketball player…

This week, we try something that may become a regular feature or we may never do again! We all pulled some recent news or online discussions or…whatever…that we thought were worthy of ridicule and talk about them for a little bit. If you think this is a great episode idea, feel free to send us stuff you think we should talk about!…

This week, we talk about the latest Marvel series on Disney Plus – Echo! Featuring a protagonist and star who is deaf, Native American, and an amputee, this show is huge when it comes to representation. We also get the return of Vincent D’onofrio as Kingpin, which isn’t all that relevant as far as representation or diversity but still worth noting.…

This week we take a look at some of the movies, TV shows, games, and books that we are looking forward to this year. We were recording remotely and Tim’s connection got messed up for quite a while in the middle of the show so you are treated to Molly and Nick’s uninterrupted opinions for quite a while. Some may consider this a bug and others may co…

FIT_02668.ARWThis week, we take a long, hard look at Dicks: The Musical! It is an irreverent, blasphemous musical comedy about two identical twin brothers who were separated at birth. It starts out as “The Parent Trap” but no it doesn’t and anyway – just go watch this movie. You will not be sorry.Geeks Without God tarafından oluşturuldu

Wow! This is our six hundredth episode! This week, we have Scott Homan, director and producer of “Witness Underground,” a new documentary about Jehovah’s Witnesses leaving the church and an underground music scene within the community. We also reconnect with James Zimmerman, author of “Deliverance at Hand,” whom we talked to way back in episode 67!…

This week, we are doing a quick this or that episode! The three of us do some rapid fire questions with a winter theme and we all have to pick our favorite of the two options given. Did you really want to learn more about all of us? This might help! And hey – send us your this or that questions for a future episode if you are so inclined!…

This week, we are once again joined by Minnesota State Representative Mike Freiberg to talk about Minnesota politics…um…Geocaching! Mike is the 65th ranked geocacher in the State of Minnesota. He tells us about this geeky hobby that the three of us thought was a lot less involved than it really is. We are going to start hiding some shit! Learn more…

Godzilla is back on the big screen! The newest Godzilla offering from Toho studios, the creator of the giant, radiation mutated lizard had a limited US run and people went crazy for it!

It’s time for another episode filled with our latest geeky obsessions and also jokes about erections! Because even as we’ve nearly reached 600 episodes, we are still twelve. Nick’s obsession involves a video game recently nominated for a whole lot of awards. Molly is excited about a book series that came out when she was a teenager. Tim is just wat…

This week, we take a look at recent box office “flop,” The Marvels! Whether you are suffering from super hero fatigue or not, we think this was a solid installment in the MCU. We also highly encourage you see the movie just to annoy the trolls because who doesn’t enjoy their delicious bitter tears? Seriously, we do spoil the shit of the movie so if…

This week we are joined once again by Professor Dave Rand-McKay! He teaches Human Geography and is here to talk to us about the rise of young people who identify as having no religion. It is a trend that is growing among all religions and across the entire world. So what does that mean for the future? What does it mean when those of us who don’t be…

This week, we are joined by local comedian Ben San Del, who is talking about the concept of Free Will. Is free will something that can even exist? Or is every action we take the product of everything that has happened prior? For that matter, what does the concept of self even mean? It’s heady stuff and Tim isn’t entirely on board with it, which is …

OmegaCon just happened and we all had a chance to play some new games! We didn’t play quite as many as usual but we still found some good ones for you to try if you are interested! We also talk about our first attempt at “Chillification Tennis!”Geeks Without God tarafından oluşturuldu

Hard to believe that we’ve made it almost 600 episodes in and this is our first episode about Astrology! We could have been doing a weekly horoscope for our listeners! What a missed opportunity! Of course, Astrology is bullshit and we spend some time looking at our horoscopes and our sun signs to see how accurate all of it is. Spoiler alert: It isn…

You know, we’ve never really taken an episode to just sit back and enjoy fall. Last week we talked about Halloween so this week, we look at that season nestled in between summer and winter that lasts for about three to four weeks here in Minnesota. What do we love about that brief period between when it is too hot and when it it starts to snow?…

With our episode going live on Halloween 2023, we thought we’d take the opportunity to revisit our favorite holiday! Or one of our favorites anyway. We talk about what we enjoy about this particular secular tradition including our favorite Halloween candies and what we’d choose between Mounds and Almond Joy! Also, we have five answers from a listen…
