This week we discuss all of the allegations in the Roy Moore scandal and compare it to the accusations against Al Franken. We wrap it up with some talk about the Jehovah's Witnesses and abuse cover up in the church.

We discuss a local abortion protest gone wrong and Notre Dame ends birth control coverage. We find a new question to make the hardcore anti-choice crowd to do some mental gymnastics, and finish with a discussion on a family that felt the need to change churches after they adopted kids.

The Pope Says evolution is real, Atheists are banned from invocations in Congress, Pastors arrested for child abuse and the missed opportunity for a joke talking about cakes for Satan, hence the title.

Trumps “Religious Freedom” policies are slowly being put into place and no one is noticing. We also discuss the ongoing tragedy that is the genocide of Rohingya Muslims by Buddhists in Myanmar.
