    Jun 8 2026
    In today’s episode of Talk Heathen, ObjectivelyDan and Jamie the Blind Limey dive into the bizarre world of Star Wars Lego drama and Mormon conspiracies! The hosts debate the merits of internet activism, call out the gerontocracy of the atheist movement, and challenge the semantic games used to define a deity.

    Talk Heathen 10.22 with Sofia Spina and Chrisy Powell
    Jun 1 2026
    In today’s episode of Talk Heathen, Christi Powell and Sofia Spina explore the "Cold War" between psychology and religion! Both hosts, working in mental health, discuss the bias of Christian counseling and whether science can explain morality. Can we find a naturalistic grounding for "God," or are we just redefining reality to feel better?
    John in CA argues nature is the only real God, claiming the universe gains consciousness through us. Hosts challenge his redefinition of omnipotence and the lack of evidence for cosmic sentience. Is this a new theology or just a semantic game?
    Carib in Trinidad posits a creator outside of time, claiming the Quran accurately describes humans turning into apes and pigs. Hosts note that simple observations don't require supernatural explanation. Is an "out of time" deity even probable?

    May 24 2026
    In today’s episode of Talk Heathen, Jamie the Blind Limey and Doctor Ben are joined by guest host Kelly Laughlin to navigate the intersection of medical ethics and ancient rituals! From the hilarity of Chick Tracts to the sobering reality of public health crises, the hosts challenge listeners to prioritize human safety over supernatural comfort. Can community exist without a pulpit, or are we all just seeking an invisible therapist?
    Rebecca in CA asks how aid workers should balance religious burial customs with the prevention of Ebola outbreaks. Hosts discuss the tension between individual grieving rights and public health safety. Can logic save communities from faith?
