In Episode 17 of Season 4, Drew & Mick continue their review of James K.A. Smith's How Not to Be Secular by looking at Chapter 2 and the process of how the world went from a belief in the transcendent to buffered "immanentization" - that is, "the process whereby meaning, significance, and 'fullness' are sought within an enclosed, self-sufficient, naturalistic universe without any reference to transcendence - a kind of 'enclosure.'" They also look at how these shifts happen primarily at the level of aesthetics (i.e., taste, imagination) rather than logically.

In the 1960s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby began creating comic book storylines that were interconnected in a shared universe and told a single story through many individual stories. In the early twenty-first century, that's what Marvel Studios decided to do through the films that became the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first of these films was released in 2008. Now—eleven years and twenty-two films later—all of these storylines have culminated in a single film, Avengers: Endgame. In this special episode of Three Chords and the Truth, Garrick Bailey and Timothy Paul Jones take a careful look at Avengers: Endgame. The resulting discussion covers everything from humanity's inescapable yearning for a metanarrative to the philosophical foundations that undergird the ethics of Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. A bizarre link between the Infinity Gauntlet and the bones of the sixteenth-century nun Teresa de Jesus also makes an appearance. This week's question from the Infinity Gauntlet pits Sting—the elven blade borne by Bilbo and Frodo—against Mjolnir, the mythical hammer carried by Thor. Subscribe to Three Chords and the Truth: The Apologetics Podcast: Apple / Android / RSS. Questions to Discuss 1. What does the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe tell us about ourselves and about the stories we tell? 2. How specifically does Avengers: Endgame elicit an awareness of the goodness of God’s creation? 3. In this film, what is it that’s broken and fallen that the heroes are seeking to repair?  4. How does Avengers: Endgame intersect with a biblical understanding of redemption? 5. Are there any places in Avengers: Endgame that we glimpse fragments of God’s truth about the end of time?

My guest for today is Mel Rice, operations manager for the Normalize Atheism Campaign. The Normalize Atheism Campaign was created by Mark Nebo of Be Secular as a way to destigmatize atheism back in 2014, but recently joined forces with Sincere Kirabo and Steve Shives to reinvigorate it. So today we’re going to talk to Mel about the campaign, her role there, and her backstory.As a head’s up, part of Mel’s story involves being a domestic violence survivor, so listener discretion is advised.

So in this episode, we deal with Abimelech and the Birth of Isaac. Abimelech asks for Sarah to join him as his wife. Of course, Abraham has her just say that she is his sister (which isn't a lie). God tells Abimelech that he'll kill him if he keeps Sarah. Oh, and God has also closed up all the vaginas in his house. Isaac was also born. Ishmael is an archer.

So today's episode starts out with Abraham getting visited by god. While Abe slaughters a calf God and he makes small talk. After all that killing, God tells Abe that Sarah will bear a child in a year. Sarah laughs and then God gives her the Samuel L. Jackson look like "Bitch, you said what." She lies to god about laughing which is a big mistake. Next, we head to Sodom and Abe stops god before he leaves. He argues with God and attempts to jew him out of a good time. After pinky swearing to Abe that he wouldn't destroy the city if he found 10 righteous men in it. The Angels get taken in by Lot and like a "new ass" bat signal every man int he city surrounds Lot's house and tells him to bring the new pieces of ass outside so they can run a train on them. Lot was like nope, here have my virgin daughters for your rape train. Then the angels blinded everyone and told Lot to get the fuck out. They end with the incest scene that for some reason is wrong.

So today we have a lot to talk about. First up is how hypocritical Sarai is with Hagar. First, she gives Hagar to Abram as a consolation prize because she's barren as fuck and God is slower than a fat guy on a scooter. So Abram conceives a child with Hagar and that pisses Sarai because she's a confused bitch. Next God chooses Abraham to be his special chosen people. The grand prize for that is circumcision, cutting part of your dick off. I know the prize sucks. Abraham circumcises himself and then everyone that is in his household has to be circumcised by Abraham. #NotGayAtAll. So from Sarai and Hagar to Abraham circumcising himself, today is a weird one and a major struggle for me to not make dick jokes.

Today in the Daily Bible, we are looking at how Abram dishonors himself. Normally when we are talking about dishonoring people Asia is involved but this time it's Egypt. So we have Abram and Sarai are traveling through Egypt and like the good cuck that he is Abram allows Pharoh to take Sarai as a wife because he couldn't handle the consequences of being her husband. Sarai was so beautiful that it scared the man of Abram. Of course, Christians teach this as "You have to be faithful to god no matter what" because apparently he should have just trusted that god would protect them. Pharoh ends up giving Sarai back because of some major STD that he received and honestly you can see where this story was copy / pasted to another person in the bible. Abram had to go back to where he came from with Sarai in tow. How much bitching do you think she did on the way back?

Philosophy professor Charles Taylor wrote a 900-page tome called "A Secular Age" in which he argues that secularity has more to do with a feeling of uncertainty about truth that pervades a culture in which all ideas are contested and contestable. My guest today on the show wrote a reader’s guide to Taylor’s epic work. His name is James K. A. Smith (he goes by Jamie). He’s a Professor of Philosophy at Calvin College and his book is called How (Not) to Be Secular. Today on the show, Jamie and I discuss what it means to live in a secular age, how we got here, and why it creates so much anxiety. Whether you’re a believer, agnostic, or atheist, you’re going to find some fascinating insights about today’s culture.

We have the good fortune of talking with the writer and director of a new documentary called “A Better Life: An Exploration of Joy and Meaning in a World Without God,” Chris Johnson.  You may have seen a screening of it at the Reason Reason Rally. Chris Johnson is a New York-based photographer and filmmaker. He received his undergraduate degree in film production (along with a minor in religious studies) from Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec. His photography has been seen in various outlets, including The New York Times. He is the author of the coffee table photography book, “A Better Life: 100 Atheists Speak Out on Joy & Meaning in a World without God” that later was made into this documentary. Chris has traveled the world with A Better Life, and continues to do so, speaking and screening the film in over 60 cities on four continents. For the book, Johnson interviewed many prominent atheist figures such as Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, Dan Dennett, Derren Brown, Pat Churchland, Julia Sweeney, David Silverman, Penn & Teller, to name a few, plus many every-day people. He has given talks on atheism and his work at conferences, universities, non-profit organizations, and community groups. In addition, he has also been a guest on numerous podcasts, radio and TV shows around the globe. Chris is the recipient of the Kodak Award for Excellence in Filmmaking as well as the B.F. Lorenzetti Scholarship for Excellence in Filmmaking. Additionally, Chris sits on the Secular Board of Advisors, as well as the board of Openly Secular. And he’s 8 episodes into his own podcast, A Better Life, and it’s really good. Chris is truly a professional.

Why was it virtually impossible not to believe in God in, say, 1500 in our Western society, while in 2016 many people find it more difficult to believe than not? This is the question that Charles Taylor tackles in his massive book A Secular Age. In this episode, James K. A. Smith joins us to talk about Taylor's work. What was it like to believe in God in the past and what is it like for many believers today—and how did we get from there to here? Whether you find it easy or difficult to believe in God today, you'll find much food for thought in Smith's book How (Not) to be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor. About James K. A. Smith James K. A. Smith is professor of philosophy at Calvin College and author of How (Not) to be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor. His latest book is called You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit. He recently visited Brigham Young University to deliver a guest lecture sponsored by the Wheatley Institution. The post #45— How (Not) to Be Secular, with James K. A.
