David C. Smalley - Single FatherhoodDavid Smalley is a comedian, actor, podcast host, and author. On his podcast, Dogma Debate, he combines his love for entertainment and media with his passion for skepticism. Dogma Debate is a podcast focused on educating the public with humor and unique, respectful discussions.David has appeared on CNN, FOX, NewsMaxTV, The Adam Carolla Show, Mohr Stories w/ Jay Mohr, and many radio shows and podcasts, encouraging humanism and extending peaceful and respectful challenges to dogmatic claims. We are fortunate to have him as our guest today to talk about parenting, but specifically single fatherhood. Since the passing of my father last year, I wanted to do something special to still celebrate father’s. I wanted to speak to David on this topic to get the perspective of a single father, but also because I was partially raised by a single father and I think that our combined experiences and discussion here today will help other single father’s out there or future single father’s.Visit https://www.patreon.com/theteachablesoul for updates and to support the showhttps://www.davidcsmalley.com/ for more info on his podcast,comedy, and other eventsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/theteachablesoul)
This is my guy...a precious young man I have had the privilege of running into a few times the last couple of years. His light and energy is contagious. He let me know he wanted to talk to me after hearing my last episode on Dogma Debate. I honestly had no idea where he was coming from and was surprised to say the least. Richie is honest, forthright, heartfelt and deeply sincere as he lays out what he believes and then tells his story which left me in tears. I must tell you I foolishly recorded this in a bar and the back noise is frustrating though my producer worked hard to minimize it. I must say it is so worth it!!! Again,, had no idea before I entered this one what it would entail and I am so proud of it and him

Hey nerds. I am joined this week by the mighty Michael Regilio! He is the founder of the Polite Power Movement - a Facebook group devoted to polite and informed political discussion. Michael is also the co-host of Dogma Debate, a religious and political debate podcast created and hosted by David C. Smalley. Michael and I talk about his beginnings in stand-up and his battle with Catholicism. The whole discussion is hilarious. We find out what kept Michael going for his first 2 years in stand-up. He describes his gradual separation from his faith. He also bests me in quoting Mark Twain...which is probably what I am most embarrassed by in this entire episode.

Joseph has listened to ¾ of the Dogma Debate catalog and enjoys pondering issues of faith and doubt. He said he would love to go on and debate the famous David Smalley but he cannot let go of that last thread that prevents him from being an atheist. He got saved at 17 and even spoke in tongues but is not sure what it adds to his life at this point. Drawn to logic and reason that should trump superstition, he had a remarkable experience that he cannot explain during a car accident. I have been waiting since the inception of this podcast to talk to Joseph and I was not disappointed. It was a fun and spirited conversation that made me go ’hmmmm’ a few times. Joe is anti Apostle Paul and feels he hijacked the pure message of Christ. Also, Joe brings up why books were not continually added to the Bible throughout the years…is God dead? Is that voice still speaking and who can judge if it is valid or not? Join me for a thoughtful and deep dive into issues of faith.

The tactics car dealers and clergy use to corral people into compliance. What happens when atheists cling to faulty beliefs with the same fervor once reserved for their disavowed religions.

Welcome to Minisode Monday, where we kick off the week with something quick and actionable -- to make you more magnetic and effective -- that you can implement right away. Marsha Shandur of Yes Yes Marsha rejoins us (check out her full episode here) with ways we can harness emotions for powerful storytelling -- and what to leave out for better effect. Let's get to it! The Cheat Sheet: Telling a good story well literally floods your listener's brain with dopamine (which helps with information processing) and oxytocin (which makes them trust you more). Contrary to popular belief, it's not usually the addition of too many details that ruins good storytelling; it's not including enough of the right details. What are the right details? How living through the story made you feel -- the emotions the experience generated. As we share the story with others, tuning them in to these emotions allows them to better relate. Beginning a story with an action sequence (as Marsha demonstrates) places an information gap that helps build tension and keeps people paying attention. Internal monologue describing how events made us feel and naming the emotions experienced keep the listener hooked. Pinpointing where in the body we felt these emotions adds a visceral element that makes the story even more relatable. No spoilers -- as with our favorite television shows, we want tension to build without the ending being given away. This week, practice telling your friends short true stories in which you include how you felt when you were living them. Make sure to check out Marsha's page for AoC listeners with an exercise and extra help by which you can learn to harness emotions for powerful storytelling! Find it here.

The 2016 U.S. presidential election has turned into something that wasn't supposed to be able to happen anymore. We're supposed to be past this kind of open racism, yet here we are. So much for living in a “post-racial” America. Alix Jules is a secular activist, writer, and sometimes co-host on Dogma Debate. He's also on the advisory council of American Humanist Association's Black Humanist Alliance. This week, he joins us to talk about the politics of racial resentment. We'll talk about Alix's visit to a Trump rally, but acknowledge that racial resentment reaches far beyond one party or candidate. We'll also discuss Alix's experience trying to talk about racial issues within the secular movement. Please be aware that the final segment of the show contains mention of a racial slur.
