120 - 2 Left 2 Behind: 2 Tribulation 2 Force

Honestly the idea of telling a story about a world where God has demonstrated his complete apathy toward human beings and a cult of people continue to worship it as it retreats from the world is very cool, you just can't make it interesting if you're not willing to do some blaphemy

I never thought I'd hear a reading of painfully awkward, barely disguised kink fiction read aloud to Mass Effect club music

It was a bold artistic choice on the part of the author to make Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force become an arch bishop after the rapture

This episode is what made me finally subscribe to you guys. I went from laughing out loud at "spent, like Kirk Cameron over an ice cube tray" to gesturing "this" at the completely sincere, unsnarky description of the hugely problematic belief structure underlying Jenkins's "theology." As a nonbeliever I know way more about Left Behind than I should (h/t to Fred Clark's "Slacktivist" blog and his close reading of the series) but you guys nailed it. Cheers

As soon as I heard about the mallets, I was gonna rush in with a "Ball? Mallet?" Joke as soon as I heard a third item but then BRIAN STOLE THAT JOY FROM ME

You ever heard of the “Left Behind Kids”? I imagine it’s basically the kids of Odyssey after Whit gets raptured.

Hey uh quick question for a friend on medical estrogen, is there a Kirk-less variant available for the app that completely restructures your body but which doesn't turn you into Kirk Cameron's wife specifically? That seems like a pretty large tradeoff. There is no friend, the friend is me

That's what makes some other religions' gods a bit easier to believe/swallow sometimes. Zeus isn't omnipotent. And he doesn't watch you all the time, he's got his own life. You can appease him but he doesn't LOVE you. Unless he maybe loves you a little too much. In which case you should probably run...

Audio drama review of book 3 next?

The first 10 minutes literally had me in tears

I live in Colorado and my girlfriend and I took a little trip to Colorado Springs. I enjoyed driving by the Focus on the Family building and dumping all my insular podcast info about it on her. It sits on a big hill, looming ominously over the surrounding area.

the leather bar joke never getting paid off feels like being edged and then getting it ruined

Holy fuck since I stopped believing in God, I have so many nightmares about bananas

It's a LEATHER BAR! You're in a leather bar Brian

"That man is so gay that he just became Hitler" Put that on a T shirt

Fellow michigander here (East Lansing) I've had people try to witness me, but it's always girls who look 15 in their 20s (I turn 33 this year), so I just try to run to avoid looking like a chomo. Wouldn't want to let down Chris Hansen, an MSU alumni, would I?

A.J. I have a question. What happens to me if I sign up for Kirkr and purchase the Beyebaal simultaneously? And supposing I already did is there a number I can call?

Adm. Husbando was banned in Russia for Semaphornagraphic content.

I’m so upset by the return of scrub daddy. Also thanks for the shout out!

The Way Of The Master would be a great black metal album name

Evangelical kink do be the worst genre christ alive

It took me till now to realize AJ and his dad have exactly the same naming convention as Tony Soprano and his son, proving that all Italians are the same.

Wait, the global currency is going to be Pops Coin? I’ve got an email to send.

I hope you’re going to do the actual Left Behind video game at some point. Also, I’ve been biting my tongue every time you talk about it, but since this time it’s an episode that actually just came out: David Cage is French, not Canadian. Hence why all the interior details in his games look European

The level of energy you guys bring to this episode gives me hope in the new year ❤️
