Forgive Us
Episode 59
Wednesday, 5 November, 2025
We start out talking about our new Halloween tradition. Then we get into Trump's latest anti-atheist activity and end up talking about him more generally. If you'd rather skip it and ignore his existence for a bit, honestly, I get it. That segment runs from 14:55 - 37:50. Then we talk about forgiveness. Are we forgiving? Does religion help to be forgiving? I think I needed this conversation more than I knew. Now the links: American Atheists (get on their email lists for news updates) Thank God I'm An Atheists's Episode: When Faith and Cruelty Collide with the story of the Mormon fundraiser Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Episode: The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail (And why is this season getting so much hate? We're really enjoying it.) The Family Skeptical: We're a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children.
