Hollywood is attempting to rally its community to boycott Texas in protest of new abortion law and the Satanic Temple is following suit. Mexico steps in the right direction by finally decriminalizing abortion despite being the second largest catholic country in the world (maybe TX can learn from their example). And Candice Owens is served up a plate of poetic justice being denied a Covid test by Aspen Laboratories.

This week, Arden, Nate and Special Guest Colson correct a mistake from last week when they said Texas Senate Bill 29 was passed into law (it wasn’t but Governor Abbott called a third special session of the TX Leg to correct that “error”) discuss vaccine passports, share their thoughts on Harvard’s new atheist chaplain, Greg Epstein, look back to Roger Williams and his early call for church state separation, and they round that episode off with “Chicken Little” preacherman Mat Staver who warns that the Covid-19 vaccine will make planes fall from the SKY!

The Non-Prophets, Episode 20.35 airing Sunday, August 29th featuring Malty, Cynthia McDonald, Johnny P. Angel and NP Intimate Neil the 604 Atheist.
This week on the Non-Prophets, friend of the show (not really) self-proclaimed Christian prophetess Kat Kerr defends her position on visiting heaven. According to her, god has extra kidneys in his heavenly warehouse just in case you need one. Given the recent events in Afghanistan, Christians demonstrate their support through unreliable “faith and prayer.” There is an NP Update involving bigotry in religious colleges where the Department of Education plans to rescind a Trump-era rule establishing continuation of funds to them. The hosts conclude this episode with a Step in the Right Direction as news out of Canada grants a polyamorous family better legal protections.

The Toyko 2020 Olympics has made major headlines, and they are certainly not all good. The hosts on this week’s episode kick it off with a discussion surrounding wellness and mental health at the Olympics stemming from the sudden drop (and later reentry) of top World Championship Medalist Simone Biles. This Olympic conversation continues on with news surrounding how the women are making major moves in stopping the over-sexualization in competition. In our special “Looking Back” segment, we reflect on a prior episode of the Non-Prophets as we re-visit rape culture taking place at Liberty University and the lawsuit that follows. To end on a high note, find out how your dead body can be buried in a way that’s eco-friendly for Mother Gaia!

So we talked about how White Evangelicals are still loud and wrong about the vaccines, masks, COVID - 19 and just about everything else. We learned breakthrough infections are definitely real but those who are unvaccinated are feeling the adverse effects of COVID infections worse. We also discussed how people still want to denote standing against racism as what those “woke”, secular people do but we know racism is real and should be fought against. And we learned Jesus is no longer stopping traffic but serving time instead.
