The Non-Prophets

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.08 airing Sunday, February 20th 2022 featuring Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver, ExXian Erin and Arden Heart.

Summary:

In the secular/humanist news reporting system you have a dedicated team of tireless hosts who will report the news and give their opinions.

These are their stories.

[BOOM BOOM]

First up on the docket, a pastor cooking it up without their pants. Is it just an innocent klutzy moment, or was he trying to get another type of religious experience. OH MY! Well the defence is going to have their work cut out for them.

Next like a page out of some of our darkest history we see a book burning by none other Pastor Greg Locke. He takes out what followers think are satanic works like Harry Potter. One might argue it was a better love story than Twilight, but investigations got distracted. A man who doesn’t follow positive Atheism tosses a Bible deep into that Pyre. Carthitic? Maybe. Could handled better? Well, let’s find out.

Then OK lawmakers follow suite with TX lawmakers. Trying to push through legislation that would punish teachers that would offend delicate sensibilities. What sensibilities would that be? Well ones that acknowledge LGTB people exist to young impressionable children. Do they have enough evidence to convince the jury of public opinion? They think they might.

Lastly, A Christian K-12 private school down under is in hot water for demanding parents sign a gender / birth-sex conformity contract. The school’s principal that sent out that paperwork has, “stepped aside”.
