I have been on vacation for several weeks but I am glad to be back! The next in my series of episodes devoted to answer religious folks who ask atheists, "If you don't believe in God, why do you care so much?" I review several current news topics that demonstrate “Why We Care.” Topics in this episode include: Moms for Liberty (aka "Klanned Karenhoo…

In what was GOING to be a Rocket Docket episode but ended up being a full episode, we discuss how Kenneth Copeland is lying to the world about pretty much everything. In this particular case, he is lying about George Washington and his inauguration!由The Cross Examiner

I am starting a new type of segment called “The Rocket Docket.” These will be shorter episodes discussing news of the day. Today, we listen to far-right Nashville pastor Kent Christmas tell his followers that they should be willing to “die for their beliefs” just like Muslim suicide bombers who “strap bombs to their chests.” I am not exaggerating.…

What do Edwin Meese and the (latest) Trump indictment have in common? The answer may surprise you! In this episode, I read an unpublished essay of mine from 2020 that has suddenly become relevant, again due to Trump's latest indictment. Fair warning, you will find no ranting about religion in this episode. Instead I focus on my theme of people in p…

I review the history of child abuse, both religious-based abuse as well as secular abuse. Starting with the disturbing global practice of “foundation sacrifices” and running through modern times, I describe how the rights of children have not improved that much since before the United States was formed with respect to being protected from their par…

Texas is attacking the United States Constitution! In this episode, I follow-up on my appearance this week on The Non-Prophets Episode 22.21 (May 28, 2023) presented by The Atheist Community of Austin (ACA). In that episode, I discuss multiple news items with my fellow hosts, Cynthia, Jimmy Jr. and Helen Greene. Here, I dive deep into the discussio…

Next in our series on faith healing, we examine the efficacy of prayer. Does it work? If not, then why does the Bible say it does? If all the science shows that it does not work, then why do people believe that it does?由The Cross Examiner

On this episode, The Cross Examiner experiences a miracle that, if it is legit, would be the most incredible miracle of all time!由The Cross Examiner

In this episode, I am trying something new. I will review several news topics I came across while researching my next deep dive episode in an attempt to explain “Why We Care.” Topics include: 1) Why Atheist Care 2) Donald Trump Indictment 3) Disney Fools DeSantis 4) Baby Dies Of Herpes Contacted From Orthodox Circumcision Ritual 5) GOP Rep Says The…
