Skeptiles

03/22/2021

Hello gang, Skeptiles is back! At least the old files are anyway. In case you forgot why you liked this page, Skeptiles was an atheism and politics pod and if you are reading this, you apparently like that sort of thing.

Also, I have a question: would you like to see Skeptiles continue as a politics only (plus comedy, of course) podcast? There are plenty of other places for atheist content and, frankly, I don't want to do atheist stuff anymore.

So, what do you think? Like or comment if you think it's a good idea. Comment also if you have an issue or want to ask me a question.

For those who don't know, friend of the show, Joseph Rocha passed away last month. Here is a selection of his appearances as a guest on Skeptiles.

Hey everyone, we're back!

Well, the show isn't back, but the page is. Sorry if you found a shoe sales site for awhile there. We let the domain expire and had to get a new one. Check out our old shows at http://skeptilespod.com/

Unfortunately, I have to correct all the old links on this FB page as well. Hope to get around to that soon, but check out the new site directly until then.

Scooter Skutre Shawn Ewald Did we rip this idea off from Dan Savage?! http://www.thestranger.com/slog/2016/04/29/24022546/the-return-of-youth-pastor-watch

Youth Pastor Watch was a regular feature on Slog for years. I started doing weekly YPW posts during the long-but-way-shorter-than-we-thought-it-would-be fight for marriage equality. Religious bigots were running all over the country claiming we had to protect the children from married same-sex coupl…

It's a Skeptiles reunion and yet, some how, the election never comes up. http://acksisofevil.org/audio/inner516.mp3

No, England did not elect a Socialist leader. The Labour party did. Shawn Ewald are you sure people understand the difference?

The election of Jeremy Corbyn to be the head of UK’s labour party is paying off at the very least for the party itself, with their membership rolls soaring t...

Skeptiles is dead but there are still good podcasts to be listened to. I thought this conversation was interesting.

Drink!

A youth pastor in San Bernardino has been arrested after he was caught in the back of a car with a 13-year-old girl, authorities said Wednesday.

We covered the victim on our podcast. Nick Cohen sums up the libs who dismiss the evil that led to Roy's murder: "They dare not admit they are afraid. So they struggle to produce justifications to excuse their dereliction of duty. They turn militant religion into a rational reaction to poverty or western foreign policy. They maintain there is a moral equivalence between militant religion and militant atheism."

The death of Bangladeshi secular blogger Avijit Roy should give pause to all those in the west who refuse to confront the fascism of our age

If you ever become cynical, should you ever decide human beings are only divided between the idiots and the fools then I want you to remember this story. Here is a man who also believed humanity was full of suckers and dolts. He too had contempt for people. And look what happened to him. Look at what Karma did as it issued its righteous justice. It proved this mo********er was right.

I don't know what's worse: the fact that Creflo Dollar believes God spoke to him and told him to buy this jet, or the fact that people are so gullible and delusional and are actually supporting this guy.

"There is no legitimate controversy over why the Kouachi brothers targeted Charlie Hebdo. They murdered not to redress the social grievances or right the historical wrongs the PEN authors named. They explicitly told us why they murdered — for Islam, to avenge the Prophet Muhammad. Progressives who think otherwise need to face that reality. Put another way, the Kouachi brothers may have suffered racial discrimination and even “marginalization,” yet had they not been Muslims, they would not have attacked Charlie Hebdo. They would have had no motive."-Jeffrey Taylor

Confusion over Islam and how to relate to it imperils free speech, without which no secular republic can survive

Skeptiles for May 5th, 2015 and also probably for the last time. Scooter comes back to join Joe and Shawn to shoot the breeze about the show and current events. Unfortunately, there are no Arrested Developments and no quiz.

Thanks to everyone who listened to the show. Feel free to friend us on FB or follow us on Twitter.

Skeptiles for Monday, April 20th, 2015 — happy stoner day, potheads, too bad for you we don’t talk about pot. But we do talk about unfunny “satirist” and living reason for advocating that baby boomers just die already, Garry Trudeau who believes that free speech and satire are not rights but privileges. We also talk about police murdering black people. We discuss the anniversary of the Union defeat of southern slave owning traitors and The War Nerd’s article about which southern traitors should have hanged. James Dobson and Bobby Jindal say some crazy s**t. And Joe brings us fresh Arrested Developments and a quiz.
