Chariots of Iron

As a giant disclaimer: Joe had surgery the day before the show and is totally loaded on pain killers for the whole thing. What this means to you is that this show is really NSFW since he drops the F-bomb about once a minute. If you are likely to be offended by a drug addled wanker talking about his balls, you may want to skip this one. Seriously.

In the news, Joe goes on to offend practitioners of some alternative forms of medicine, he offends Muslims by implying that they are preternaturally hypocritical, he also insults North Dakota by suggesting that they have a population of 12, he then goes on to offend people who wear adult diapers, he then scoffs at the WBC and finishes up by insulting Muslims for being hypocritical again. Shortly after the show he applied to be placed in the witness protection program.

In the main segment of the show, he promises to shut is trap, a promise that he does a poor job of keeping. While Lamar and Eli do a fine job unraveling the complicated bull-pucky that insulates abortion from actual discussion, Joe admits to purposefully saying things to piss off people on both sides of the argument. Roe vs. Wade is discussed: what it means and what provisions it requires to be challenged, Eli talks about the science behind the famous court decision and Lamar wraps the whole thing up with some insightful observations about the way we interact and what needs to happen before we’re going to be able to put this discussion to rest. Joe slips in some more conversation about his balls.

It’s an awesome week for news. Some Christians in the UK do EXACTLY what they accused atheists of doing. “Bishop Council Nedd”: is it a name or is it a title? For reals, who knows this? We also discuss how badly a certain Texas school board is about to be sued, the awe-inspiring evil of the latest Islamic super-villain, and we continue our expose in the third part of a 27 part series entitled “Things that go up Ted Haggard’s butt.”

Lamar returns from hiatus and is given a chance to defend himself from the merciless beating dished out by Brother Richard last week. Joe argues with him some more while Eli enters a temporal bubble that exists 5 minutes in the future.

When Eli exit’s his time cocoon, he reads an infuriatingly wrongheaded editorial published in the Oregonian as a segue into our main segment in which we talk about everyone’s favorite glossy-eyed weirdo, Ken Ham. In his latest tirade, he attacks the separation of church and state. Join us as we atomic-elbow-drop his fallacious blog-trash from orbit.

A better title would have been: “O’ Lamar where art thou?” because Lamar was maimed in a freak pheasant hunting accident involving a high placed member of the former Bush administration and wasn’t able to make the show–but we did have Brother Richard, the world famous former pastor, lifewithoutfaith.com blogger and fearless leader of Atheist Nexus roll as our co-host. Join us for one long hour and a half joke about “Saddlebacking.”

We cover David Attenborough’s recent intimation on the complexities of ignorance, religion and the environment. We also cover complex topics like: the complexities of making love to dead geese, the complexities of marrying ten-year-old girls, the complexities of covering up 11,000 molestation and child-rape charges, the complexities of the shitty impact of religion on our happiness and the complexities of apprehending felons that can polymorph themselves into goats.

And if you think the news was complex, Brother Richard talks with us about the Heads V meeting, saddlebacking, the future of Atheist Nexus, saddlebacking, being “anointed” by Dan Barker, saddlebacking, and also, we discuss saddlebacking.
