Are you a non-believer dating a believer, Justin tells us his experience. We may even dabble in school vouchers, creationism and dinosaurs, and maybe some science! #keepthinking http://bit.ly/2sMRxai  http://indy.st/2sN3ih7 http://bsun.md/2sMMcQl http://bit.ly/2sMZDzx      

We're both liberals and progressive, but we're starting to feel like moderates. Where are you? Justin Clark joins us as we talk free speech, Richard Spencer and Charles Barkley. We also discuss Kathy Griffin's latest stunt.

We're going live for a random show with Mike. Give us a call.

Show Notes: Trump is trying to cut NASA out of the climate conversation. Great. http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-trump-budget-nasa-20170316-story.html…and the implication of these budget cuts are dire… https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/03/trump-budget-cuts-science/519825/Even those who remain Christian grow tired of the church. Is this a sign of evolving religion in the US? Is church becoming obsolete? http://www.npr.org/2017/03/05/518644045/christians-go-to-podcasts-to-say-things-they-cant-say-in-churchMore NBA players are going for the Flat Earth Hypothesis – This time it’s Shaq.  http://bit.ly/2n7Dus0

Again, just a test... hope we don't suck too bad. And we invited Mike's buddy Uriah on the show. He is a Christian in Texas who holds many of the same values we do. We like him. We'll have him back for some deep theological conversations. Enjoy the show, we'll talk to you soon. www.facebook.com/beinghumanist.podcast @BeinghumanistPC

These politics are not normal, but these rogue twitter accounts are fun! We're still a little all over the place, but we're reigning it in. We talk a lot of politics, social media debates, and even some psuedoscience.  Show Notes and Links: http://www.livescience.com/57590-why-americans-deny-science.html 

This is where it all began. We used fake names and told our origin stories. Angry atheists, we were. Enjoy the show.

We're back and we're frustrated. You can probably hear it in our voices. We're rusty and we have a new president... eh. Whatever. We're airing it out and we'll resume normality after this episode... Buckle up... hang on... oh, and keep thinking. :)
