The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.48  airing Sunday,  11.27.2022 featuring Richard Gilliver, Student Doctor Ben and Kelley Laughlin.Oh non-god I am stuffed.  I don’t even want to invoke the Flying Spaghetti Monster as I don’t even want to THINK about food!  If you are in the USofA we hope you had a great Thanksgiving (eg Gluttony day) and hope you don’t break the bank on all those sales (eg Greed day).  Wonder if we can fit some more mortal sin days in the next few weeks.  As for us The Non-Prophets we have also been stuffing ourselves with news articles for our hosts Richard Gilliver, Student Doctor Ben, and Kelley Laughlin to serve to you on a silver platter!  Let’s get into it.First up, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the 8 BILLIONTH person born!  At the same time, we are already and 8 BILLION PEOPLE!  Seems the religious took that “go forth and multiply” thing seriously.  Well here’s an idea, maybe when people are more secular they will study the carrying capacity of the planet and practice safer population growth.  Here’s hoping Elon Musk’s plan to go to Mars is not his own version of population control.Up next.  Show of hands, who here has heard the phrase “hate the sin, love the sinner”?  Hmm I am seeing a lot of hands out there.  Well seems that The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints (not typing that out again) is living that.  They seem to be just fine with Congress trying to codify gay marriage.  They still think it is a sin and that you are all going to burn in hell forever and ever…  Hey, it’s baby steps right?Speaking of changing view points, seems some US Bishops are really worried about the their congregations views on abortion.  Those diagonal moving church leaders seem to not be able to put their pawns in check.  So they spend their knights deep in their rooks to stop all those nasty mates.  Also somewhere queens are involved.  Hey doing a whole thing on chess puns is harder than you think when you are board!Lastly, We take a look back at Thomas Jefferson and his terrible, horrible, no good very bad Thanksgiving.  No, wait that was Alexander who wasn’t Hamilton.  Oh no I must not break out into song!  AhHem…  Seems it partly had to do with separation of church and state which he was a big supporter of.  Then again he was also hypocritical in a lot of other aspects.  So I guess we still have a lot of mixed feelings about this.That will do it for this week.  Be sure to tune in this Sunday at 3:00 PM Central.  Most of the shows this week were pre-recorded, but Talk Heathen and The Atheist Experience are going to be live shows.  See you all next week!Segment 1: Could the rise of the nonreligious defuse the population bomb?, Only Sky, Andrew Fiala, November 16, 2022http://bit.ly/3VrBesCGlobal population hits 8 billion as growth poses more challenges for the planetCNN, Tara Subramaniam, November 15, 2022http://bit.ly/3Xv0Y9qSegment 2: Mormon church backs same-sex marriage law, maintains relationships still sinful Ass

The Non-Prophets 21.48 11-27-2022 with Richard Gilliver, Student Doctor Ben, and Kelley Laughlin

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.47 airing Sunday, November 20, 2022 featuring Jason Sherwood, August, and Cindy PlazaThis week you can join Jason Sherwood with an amazing panel of August and Cindy Plaza!I know I say all the panels are amazing every week, but here’s the thing: THEY ALL ARE!!! So check us out this Sunday at 3:00 PM Central. Let’s get into it.First up, Texas churches broke the law, and the law… didn’t seem to care. Uhh oh. Seems at least two different churches supported different candidates in this latest election. If only there was some kind of law that prevented that from happening. Maybe some Texas Senator could amend the tax code so that non-profit organizations couldn’t do that. Oh wait, that is a thing that happened. So did anything happen? Did those churches lose their tax exempt status? Well you will just have to tune in to find out, but you can guess...Now over to the land of fine wine, fine food, and now racist nationalists? Seems a politician got into a little hot water for suggesting a boat of migrants go… well it was racist so you can guess which continent he wanted them to go to. We explore a little of the history of how they got here and hope that France can throw out their far right nationalists before very uncomfortable salutes become commonplace there.Ever hear that the more education you have the less likely you are to believe in a god? So have we, but it seems so very religious news/research sources have a very different take on that. They also have the numbers to prove it! So are Atheists big old dummies or is it possible these sites have a narrative they want to spin? Check out these sites, but make sure you do your own research. Cindy did!Lastly, we follow one man’s journey from being a Hindu Nationalist to becoming a humanist. It is a tale of misinformation, hatred, and tragedy. We wonder if the reasons he became a humanist are ones that can stand the test of time and wish him the best even if there were any kind of back slide.That will do it for The Non-Prophets this week. Hope you have enjoyed all the studio shows this week and we will be back next week with another amazing panel and show!Segment 1: Texas churches violated tax law ahead of Tuesday’s election, experts say, The Texas Tribune and Propublica, BY Jeremy Schwartz, Jessica Priest AND Perla Trevio, November 6, 2022 http://bit.ly/3EL0If9http://bit.ly/3UOv9XfSegment 2: In France, an Outburst Is a Setback for the Far Right, The New York Times, by Catherine Porter and Constant Méheut, November 10, 2022http://bit.ly/3Xk0rXJSegment 3: Does education ‘cure’ people of faith?

The Non-Prophets 21.47 11-20-2022 with Jason Sherwood, August, and Cindy Plaza

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.46 airing Sunday, 11-13-2022 featuring Richard Gilliver, Jason Friedman, Cynthia McDonald and Kelley LaughlinIt was once postulated: does a bear crap in the woods? Well I would like to know if the thing I just stepped in was Cryptid Poo or is it really some New-age Woo?  Join Richard Gilliver and the amazing panel of Cynthia McDonald, Kelley Laughlin, and newcomer Jason Friedman as they delve deep into this week's topics. Let’s get into it.First up, mind over matter? Nature vs. nurture? What are the best psychological approaches? In the past experts would segment things out. Breaking things into nice little packages from a subset of people who they were able to talk to. Human’s are a bit messier than that. So we explore more of the humanistic approach. Is it perfect? Maybe not, but humans are very complicated. Even if some claim they are simple. It’s just another tool to put in the tool box when dealing with people.Next up, BLAME CANADA! In this case British Columbia as they are quickly becoming the most secular province in Canada. We explore how that has happened, get some takes from religious leaders in the area, and see if this is a sign of religion in the future for the Americas. I for one think it has to do with all the science Canadians need to deploy to keep themselves alive through all those cold winter months.Then our very own Cynthia McDonald discusses her time at The Women of Color Beyond Belief conference. This year was not a great time for women in general, and especially women of color. With terrible court decision and trigger laws that will end up in the deaths of countless women, these brave many will get their voices heard.Lastly, You are walking in the woods. There is no one around, and your phone is on 1% charge. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot something. (Big Foot?) He’s walking around a nest camera focused on some eagles. You quickly try to snap a photo, but as you do the screen goes dark. You run to your car hastily unlock the door. Getting in you grasp for the charger and with shaking hands plug it up. The phone comes to life and you see it. The last photo you have taken. It’s blurry, but you now know the truth! Then some guy in a ghillie suit comes up and knocks on your window asking, “hey did you see where I dropped that turkey?” Sorry, no big foot for you this time!Well that will about do it for this week.Segment 1: Humanistic ApproachHumanistic Approach Simply Psychology, By Saul McLeod, 2020 http://bit.ly/3UwWX2qHumanistic Psychology’s Approach to Wellbeing: 3 TheoriesPositivepsychology.com, by Tiffany Sauber Millacci, Ph.D.  9 Jul 2022 http://bit.ly/3UyPdNeSegment 2: Secular British Columbia on the riseCensus data shows B.C. is the most secular province in CanadaCBC News, By Josh Grant, Oct. 30, 2022http://bit.ly/3O4qZbhModeling the Future of Religion in AmericaPew Research Center, Sept, 13 2022 http://bit.ly/3TvRZBI5 facts about religion in CanadaPew Research Cente
