Momentum - I discuss the Texans EPIC meltdown against the Chiefs, 1/12/2020. This one’s going in the history books.

Heresy - I explore a category called Heresy that came up in Jeopardy the TV Quiz show

I’m looking forward to 2020 as I discuss an encounter I had with a business associate who launched into a presentation about Mormonism. Did not see that coming. By the way, I mention a Network Marketing and religious come on saying "the plan, the plan!" comparing it to a 70s TV show. I found it: Fantasy Island. "Roarke was known for his white suit and cultured demeanor, and was initially accompanied by an energetic sidekick, Tattoo, played by Hervé Villechaize. Tattoo would run up the main bell tower to ring the bell and shout "Ze plane! Ze plane!" to announce the arrival of a new set of guests at the beginning of each episode." When he said Ze plane, it did sound like the plan, the plan. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Book of Moroni, Happy New Year

I discuss a chapter called What the Hell? And one called I Agree. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

What the hell?

I discuss what a spiritual memoir is, and why book isn’t one thank God. And a bit about how a respected author lost two jobs for suggesting that the resurrection of saints was an apocalyptic symbol. The shock heard round the world after he said that! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

My Apologetics

Ok I’m working my way out of the church, since, we’ll, since I don’t believe in God anymore. But what about all my friends? Am I gonna be sad? Oh and I play some live upright bass later in this episode. That makes me happy. Hopefully you too. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Should I be Sad?

I’m actually playing my bass during this episode. That’s a first. And discussing one of the first chapters I wrote on this journey towards non-belief. Also, a correction. In this episode I mentioned Bill Goddard, but the name I meant was Bill Gothard, and yes we did hop in a bus and drive to Fort Worth (from Iowa!) to listen to him and his teachings about burning all your rock-n-roll CDs and other deep-state Christian stuff. https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2018/10/24/the-disturbing-legacy-of-bill-gothard-says-a-lot-about-todays-christian-right/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Pulling the Thread

Today I bring a variety of things, including a bit from comedian Nick Thune, of of Bellevue Community College's notable alumni. I also discuss the word Apocalypticist as a handy six syllable word you might find useful in trivia games. It also describes Jesus and many of his contemporaries. I also mention the prayer life of Nancy Pelosi. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Prayer Request Lottery - Nancy Pelosi Prayer Requests

I discuss witchcraft, oh my. That is, that it used to be part of the law as of the 17th century. I then go on to read over 2 chapters from my book: Catfished? and Mack the Guru. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Catfished

A bit of reading on this Thanksgiving Day 2019. Plus a couple of jokes ? Also a correction. Peter Frampton didn’t die as far as I know. I was thinking of Tom Petty at that moment. I’m sorry. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Thank you God?

I discuss why Christian comedians aren't very funny, and then discuss the topic of evil. (The show with the good child actors is called Emergence.) Correction: I mention Dave Warnock appearing on the Grateful Atheist, but no, it's called the Graceful Atheist. https://youtu.be/w_prmxWrWMg --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Not Funny?

I am just reminded of the famous Nietzsche quote “God is dead,” and what a clamor that caused. But I was not thinking about that when I came up with the title of this chapter. I discuss Necromancy, and the instance of a pastor "talking to Jesus" live in front of thousands of people, as if he's still alive. Later I discuss a chapter I wrote about the life of Paul which I called DePaul. Paul's voice, or whoever wrote that stuff, makes up the majority of the New Testament, so much so that it could really be called the Church of Paul. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/richard-blaine/support

Jailbreak! Leaving Christianity

After 30 years as a born again believer, and 20 as a professional "Christian" musician, I had a free thought, and then a second one. To explore my new thinking that there was no God, I started writing it out. Over 400 pages later, I decided a podcast would be a good way to share my writings.
