Summary
So what did we learn today kiddos? Well on shit internet apologist say, we discussed how Fox News wines (inserts crickets) but this time they are wining about no one in the media having to say good things about religion or just ignoring it altogether (yes more of that please). We discussed the church vandalisms in Canada after the discovering of more unmarked graves from residential schools geared to the indoctrination of Indigenous children. We also spoke about how catholic bishops wanna take Joe’s wine and wafers away b/c of his support of abortion rights. And we came around the bend to finish this dog and pony show with looking back to Pope Clement VII excommunication of Jolly ole Henry VIII.

Come one, come all, and witness the most dangerous church on earth. That's right, it's the Moonies! Join Malty, Jena, Jim, and Autumn as they discuss the heavily armed church of the Reverend King Moon. Next up, we take a more somber look at the newly discovered unmarked graves at former religious residential schools for Indigenous children in Canada. Thirdly, we look at the religious tests being given to candidates for public office in Tennessee, including looking at an opinion piece by Andrew Seidel. Lastly, our panel gives us their best takes on Lemon Laws and church-state separation.

The NPs this week speak on the current backlash of CRT and how states are trying to ban it. It also seems like the Southern Baptist Church is losing members, some of which include the darlings, the Moores (no relation). Silly apologetics continues in the state of Ohio where a doctor makes unsubstantiated claims concerning the COVID-19 vaccines and the peril facing the replica of Noah’s arc wraps up this week’s show.

The Non-Prophets, Episode 20.24 airing Sunday, June 13th featuring Jena Miyu, Laura Magee, Martin Robert and Guest Host Ragabash Dabbler. What colors are you wearing this month? Are they colors that represent your helpfulness towards providing meals to sex workers? Do you feel your colors have brightened or changed since discovering your more sensual side since you’ve been at home for the past year? Or do your colors represent the pride you feel seeing the progressive changes most media, TV shows, and toys are making in an effort to promote inclusion. On this Sunday show, the hosts discuss and celebrate Pride Month. Because every fight deserves an “Ally.”

Archbishop turns a blind eye to abuse of children in the church, yet gives a personal apology...from God? Also, perhaps faith leaders should stop being in charge of taking care of children, especially those coming out of the Bethany Church in Louisiana. The dark side of Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity order is revealed through a new podcast “The Turning: The Sisters Who Left.” The Mormon cult sets their bets in the stock trade by purchasing large shares in GameStop and Tesla.

Alright my fellow homosapians, we talked about “Christian Tested. Lord Approved“ A Viral ‘Vaccinated by the Lord’ Card?” We explored: SHIT APOLOGIST’S SAY “‘What’s Your Favorite Bible Verse? That Backfired” We hit on a STRANGE BUT TRUE “Jesus Between the Cushions,“ or as I like to call it, Jesus’ murder weapon was hidden in furniture for every home has ‘a blessing of some kind.’ And finally we dived into some “Christian Counselling on Same-sex Attraction,” which was less counseling and more finger wagging at people who feel.

Bertrand Russell, Jim Bakker, Gov. Abbott and teaching the “good” of slavery.
The Non-Prophets, Episode 20.20 airing Sunday, May 16th at 3PM CST featuring Malty, Jena Miyu, Laura Magee and Guest Host Katie Stewart, Associate Producer of the ACA.
This week’s episode of The Non-Prophets welcomes Katie Stewart as the hosts cover recent news out of the state of Louisiana where State Representative Raymond E. Garofalo brings forth a bill attempting to enforce teachers to not discuss “divisive concepts” and instead pushing for them to emphasize “the good of slavery.” What?! Also, we give a mention to the FFRF for winning a recent court battle over a Nativity scene, and it looks like Jim Bakker was looking to return back to prison over a COVID cure scam. Lastly, we round out the episode with a “Looking Back” segment on the work of Bertrand Russell.
