164 - God’s Not Dead 2

Listening to this 2 years later in UK, on the day NHS England has announced that trans people will be forced onto medical wards according to their ‘biological sex’ and oh boy it feels bad but this was also the kind of thing I needed to hear today. The parrells between TERFs and evangelicals are strong (and I’m absolutely sure it has nothing to do with funding ties in common /s) but hearing you speak about what evangelics who didn’t vote for trump might do really made me think about how how we should deal with TERFs moving forward (and tbh how anyone with any sense has been treating them). And on another note, I know things are bad in the US right now but I’m thankful you’ve all stuck around and are still doing this! (And shout out to ill conceived which I love too!)

This podcast has permanently altered my brain chemistry. Every time there’s a plot point about Christians being persecuted I just hear Lev Novak’s voice saying “[they’ll be put] to DEATH? Grow up!”

I just wanted to say thank you. Your work is always enjoyable & interesting, but sometimes it's more than that. Episodes like this one, despite the un-fun topic, really brighten my day and make everything seem a bit ... lighter. And that is not a small matter in times like these. So... thank you! ❤️

PS: when I was in college, I wrote a play with a character who was supposed to be a jerk. He was a lawyer (not that all lawyers are bad, but some of them can definitely be.) Anyway, I don’t really know anything about the law, so I was trying to put lawyer sounding jargon in there. I said some thing about attorney client privilege because the Mueller report was all over the news at the time. All this is to say that I will have to go back and edit the play just to give him the line” all my descendants become my defendants in the courtroom of success” I’ll credit you in the script !

“How many of you are fans of Wi-Fi?” Sounds like something the lads would say as a bit, but it’s part of something serious that this person was trying to say in the sermon. Edit: this movie is unrealistic because lot of teachers who genuinely like their jobs and care about their students complain about it in the way the teachers in this movie do.

Every time you expose me to this absolute horseshit, I wish I could oppress American Evangelicals for real.

I’ve been thinking all day about the line “every 4th grader knows the phrase separation of church and state” no I don’t think they do

Thanks for the pep talk Boshua, looking forward to 4 and then 1000 years of TWOAPW

I left the podcast playing when I left the room, and when I came back in you were still arguing about the appropriateness of using Pretty Little Liars as an indication of mendacity. This is why I am a patron.

For some reason the idea of God 'living on the inside roaring like a lion' makes me laugh. "It is I the Lord your God! I'm in your gallbladder. RrroOAARRR!!! Now go complain about tuck friendly swimsuits at Target."

If you're looking for more God's not Dead runoff a fun one is Assassin 33 AD. It's the movie where Muslim Terrorists takeover a Time Travel facility in order to go back in time to kill Jesus before He can be crucified, and the heroes have to go also go back in time to ensure His scheduled death.

I needed this this week. Thanks, y'all

Chinese Martin gets the filial piety slapped back into him.

I'm only a little way in but I had to pause and comment that "buzzer beater conversion" made me honk like a goose

This movie sounds INTOLERABLE and just so endlessly pleased with itself. 12 out of 7 on the Kill James Bond smarm scale.

can i just say that due to the election + a statistically absurd convergence of other unfortunate Personal Events, i've been shambling from one emotional meltdown to the next all week, and that little bit you stuck on the beginning of this episode was the first thing to really part the clouds for me a bit. thank you for that. and also for Kronk goofs

it's unfair to call Bremerton a godless hellhole: the waterfront is very nice and theres a ramen place that I like. East Bremerton, on the other hand, is definitely a blighted hellscape.

I've always wondered what someone doing an impression of Matthew McConaughey doing an impression of Patrick Warburton would sound like.

The "waving through a window" overlay was crazy I laughed so hard I missed my turn driving downtown. Also, I apparently don't know what's good music and what's bad music bc I was willing to give it a shot 😭

I think you guys are actually the knowledge fight of Broadway

"You who are now hungry, are blessed, because you will be filled" GOKU???

Gods Not Dead Toyko Drift

You guys should watch PK and OMG two Hindi movies about religion in an Indian context. And are actually interesting movies

I was disappointed to realize that his wasn't the Return of Burpo. In my defense, all these movies' titles sound exactly the same. God's Not Dead 2: Tribulation Force

Dammit, you guys weren't supposed to notice the Catholic take over soo early....

Crawling out of my skin with cringe at the Acting in every clip from the film. I've genuinely had to pause this and do something else several times and I'm not even half way through the podcast.

Can’t wait for God’s not dead 6: in the hood

Another missed opportunity to invite Maggie Mae Fish to guest host?
