The Secular Perspective
TSP 87: Fundamentalism in Rural America

The whole gang is here to discuss one single article that someone had posted on Chad's Facebook feed. It's about how fundamentalists see the outside world. There was so much to talk about that we actually just cut the conversation short in the interest of time. It's a really long article.

TSP 71: Escape from The Church

In a Secular Perspective first, we have a guest host. Chad enlists his friend Brianna to come and talk to us about growing up in an Apostolic Pentecostal Church and how she got out of it. There are no news stories to link to on this one. Just a lot of good conversation to listen to. Enjoy.

* There is a strange underlying sound when we are talking that I could not remove without distorting our voices. Apologies.

TSP 49: Religion is Trying to Sneak into our Schools

Chad and Amanda discuss several different cases of religion trying to weasel its way into the public school systems under the guise of science and other means. Also debating prayer circles at sporting events and the college professor that was suspending for stating that Muslims and Christians worship the same god (spoiler: They really do) This just in: Chad get's ordained as a Dudeist priest and Amanda likes to drink.

TSP 48: The Oregon Protesters are on a Mission from God.

 

Chad and Amanda discuss the mess that has become of the Oregon Militia group headed by Ammon Bundy who happens to be Mormon and but a bit of a Mormon spin on their protest. Also a woman kills in defense of her god and why don't more women come out as atheists. Finally we briefly talk about The Muslims that were fired for wanting time to pray during the work day.
