In this deeply unsettling episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel confronts the tragic and controversial case of Adriana Smith—a brain-dead woman in Georgia whose body is being kept on life support to carry a pregnancy to term. Despite being legally dead, Georgia's abortion restrictions prevent her family from making medical decisions, effectively reducing her to an incubator. The hosts examine the ethical, legal, and human rights implications of this case, exploring how far the state's control over reproductive bodies can go—even beyond death.News Source11Alive.com, “Adriana Smith case raises questions about Georgia's heartbeat law”By Kate Brumback, May 19, 2025https://www.11alive.com/article/news/politics/adriana-smith-case-raises-questions-georgia-heartbeat-law/85-8beefae8-daca-4ef8-86f4-82575a09cf0fThe Non-Prophets 24.13.25 with Helen, Tracy, Rob, and FriendsShe's Dead.

In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel unpacks a troubling new bill—The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act—that threatens to redefine what counts as “obscene” in America. Framed as protecting public decency, the bill could lead to sweeping censorship of porn, LGBTQ+ content, art, and personal expression. The hosts expose the vague language, moral posturing, and religious overtones driving the legislation, and explore how it could impact everything from adult entertainment to free speech. It's not about protecting children—it's about control.News SourceInteresting Engineering, “New obscenity bill could trigger anti-porn prosecution”By Aamir Khollam, May 12, 2025https://interestingengineering.com/culture/new-obscenity-bill-could-trigger-anti-porn-prosecutionThe Non-Prophets 24.13.24 with Helen, Rob, Tracy, E.J. The Porn Panic Is Back: A 1950s Morality Reboot

Casey McFarland, LAPC, NCC. Along with my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I also earned a certificate in Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Counseling, which gives me a professional framework to deconstruct religious structures that have caused harm.  As a secular therapist, I offer care that honors each person's values without imposing religious frameworks—something especially important for those who've felt unseen or harmed in traditional spaces. At the heart of my work is the belief that healing is possible, that growth comes in many forms, and that we all have the ability to reclaim our lives and move forward with strength and purpose.   Links: Website- www.coreclarityco.com FB Page- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554031901122

In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel explores the Democratic Party's surprising new strategy: using religion to push back against Trump-era policies. From Capitol Hill vigils to Bible-quoting sit-ins, leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Cory Booker are invoking Scripture and moral framing to regain ground with religious voters. But does this signal genuine change—or is it political theater? The hosts examine whether moral messaging can replace policy-driven advocacy, and what it means for secular voters and marginalized communities alike.News SourceReligion News Service (RNS), “To put pressure on Trump, Democrats turn to religion—and religious activists” By Jack Jenkins, May 7, 2025 https://religionnews.com/2025/05/07/to-put-pressure-on-trump-democrats-turn-to-religion-and-religious-activists/The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.20.3 featuring Helen Greene, Stephen Harder, The Ejector Seat and Cindy Plaza Democrats Quote Scripture to Challenge Trump

In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel reacts to the election of Pope Leo XIV—the first American pope—and what his leadership might mean for the Catholic Church. While some see the appointment of Robert Francis Prevost as a possible attempt at modernization, others remain skeptical.

Fr. Anthony with Tony, and Cristina discuss the season of Lent.  Share their observations of the morning and evening masses of Ash Wednesday, which were both very well attended, actually very crowded! Why is this mass the most packed of the year?  They share their theories as to why that is….Father leads us in prayer, especially for the Pope, recognizing that as we pray for him, we are praying for the church. After prayer, Father revisits the question of Atheism and shares history and the evolution of lent and the origin of the word ‘lent” itself. Central focus of Lent is fasting, why is that?  St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

This week on the (Re)thinking Faith Podcast, host Josh Patterson welcomes back Dr. Philip Clayton to discuss his new book, "Science and the Sacred", which emerges from a dialogue between theist and non-theist perspectives. They explore the origins of the book, the importance of bridging the atheism-theism divide, and the role of pluralism in fostering meaningful coexistence. The conversation delves into the evolving concept of God, the significance of doubt, and the personal experiences that shape our understanding of faith. They also reflect on the impact of mortality on authenticity in discussions about belief and the moral teachings found in the Sermon on the Mount. Josh and Phil explore the complexities of faith, transcendence, and the role of values in belief systems. They discuss personal experiences that reveal deeper truths about faith during crises, the longing for something transcendent, and the importance of shared values in bridging differences between theistic and atheistic perspectives.

(00:00:00) The Atheist Experience 29.20 with The Cross Examiner and Dave Farina @ProfessorDaveExplains 2025-05-18 (00:10:31) Neil-WA - Deconversion Responsibilities (00:19:26) Andrew in CA- AI Is Conduit To Source (00:25:18) Jason-CA - God Existing Outside Space And Time (00:58:44) Mike-SC - Sharia Law Or Christian Nationalism? (01:27:48) Steve-NE - Star Being Slowed Down By Artificial Force In today's episode of the Atheist Experience, The Cross Examiner and Dave Farina, discuss topics of AI, deconversion, deceleration of stars, and church and state separation. Andrew in CA has a conduit of contact with AI and the source of all existence. How do you know this is the source of existence? What reason is there  to treat AI as the god of honest truth?Jason in CA says that matter, space and time had to come to being at one point and there can't be an infinite regression. What evidence do you have that we didn't see an infinity before the moment of creation and that there is a creation to begin with? If god exists outside of time, how did the realm where god existed change when the universe was created? What evidence do you have that this realm or state of being even exists? Every time we see consciousness, we see a physical entity, the brain. Why would we believe there is a consciousness outside the universe? We do not fully understand the origin of the universe or consciousness. We just don't have evidence for the claim of a deity that fills in these lack of knowledge gaps. Neal in WA grew up as a Mormon and has been wondering if as an atheist he should be doing more to help deconvert people. If you could help make a different path available to people, you may help them from taking on beliefs that are harmful. There is no reason to feel guilty for beliefs that you were indoctrinated to have when on this long journey of deconversion. You are accountable for your own actions, not the beliefs of others. Mike in SC wants to know if between Sharia Law or Christian Nationalism, what is more dangerous for atheists. Which of these two movements do you think is dismantling The Constitution? Anybody can be corrupted by financial, political, or religious power. The answer to the question depends on where you live and who is in power. Using religious ideas to take away freedom and change federal law is where the danger is. Kennedy v. Bremerton School District shows how the Lemon Test, that determines if there has been violations of the Establishment Clause, has been abandoned by the Supreme Court. If people are being locked up simply for praying, we have an objection to that. Anytime you see a story where this is happening, go read the actual case and original source to learn what really happened. Steve in NE wants to talk about the star that is supposedly being slowed down by an artificial force.
