Welcome to the beginning of our show's blue period. Until I decide otherwise we'll only be doing sci-fi that's blue themed. Waterworld. The Shape of Water. Mr. MeSeeks. Yellow Submarine. Don't worry, there will be some deeper meaning to it all that you'll probably fail to grasp but will pretend you understand at parties. Okay, enough meta, we're doing the Zima Blue episode from the Netflix series Love, Death, and Robots. It's a stand alone episode, which is good for a variety of reasons. We're also going to be discussing Susan Wolf's theory of projects of worth. Hopefully this all feels like a project of worth for everyone involved, and hopefully they're not wrong.

Lemme just get my witty banter beard on: Hey kids, do you like violence? Want to see Murtle the turtle stick needles in Dr. Strange's eyelids? Sorry, not current enough pop culture reference? How bout this? What's big, purple, has a jewelry fetish, and makes some really sound points about overpopulation? That's right! A Kardashian Oompa loompa. Too many references mashed together? Okay, how bout this: ::hour long battle scene, I timed it:: Okay okay, I'm not gonna give it all away for free, cause we're going all out with TWO pieces of Infinity Wars content. For those who want more philosophy and less snark, we have this episode where spend 90% of the time on the tragedy of the commons and how it applies to overpopulation. THEN, we're going to soon have NASA 3 come out, where we spend almost as long as one whole battle scene arguing about how awesome this movie is. If you were fans of the battle of Hamilton, you'll want in on this.

Today I finally had the privilege to meet Cass Midgley! His podcast (Everyone's Agnostic) was the first podcast I found that shared deconversion stories. This has been so encouraging to me through the years and played a big role in helping me process my deconversion. He's an open book and a straight shooter. The longer you listen to Cass, the more you'll discover an incredibly insightful, compassionate and generous human being. Cass Midgley earned his Masters in Theological Studies from Vanderbilt University in 2013…as an atheist. Cass started the Everyone's Agnostic podcast in 2014 with friend and former co-host Bob Pondillo. Everyone's Agnostic podcast now has over half a million downloads! As a boy, Cass knew there was a God; the two were close, personal friends. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Cass walked right into Christianity. Christianity gave him a great life: purpose, friends, community, hope, etc. In 2004, at age 38, he left the church and began thinking and reading things he would not allow himself to while a Christian. When not uniting the deconvert community, Cass also enjoys his daily crossword puzzle, watching college basketball, and drinking cheap gin & tonic with lots of lime. Cass is also a Humanist Chaplain who officiates non-religious weddings and funerals for all genders and orientations.
This week we're joined by Marie D'Elephant from Everyone's Agnostic Podcast. Marie talks about leaving her religion and how that impacted her to this day. We also discuss a myriad of topics relating to religion, death, and polyamory.Opening Invocation: The World Has Turned And Left Me Here by WeezerHero of the Week: Marie's cat (and our pets in general)
This week I speak with my dear friend and fellow podcaster, Cass Midgley. Cass is the host of the Everyone's Agnostic podcast, along with his co-host, Bob Pondillo. After 40 years of being a Christian and nearly 20 in ministry, today Cass is an atheist and a Humanist Chaplain in Tennessee.Check out the Everyone's Agnostic Podcast at http://everyonesagnostic.libsyn.comFor more information about Life After God, please visit our website at www.lifeaftergod.org.If you appreciate this show, please make a monthly contribution to keep it going.
