The Non-Prophets

The Non-Prophets 21.25 for June 19th 2022 with Teo El Ateo, Scott Dickie, Richard Gilliver and Kelley Laughlin.

On this weeks Non-Prophets the panel talks about the connection or lack there of between ACB and the founder of the People of Praise, a secretive charismatic Christian group. They agree that skeptic hats should be worn when evidence is lacking.

A bible is your friend in prison because it won't be taken away from you. We talk about how bibles are commonly used to keep important information with you when being re-assigned to another facility.

Teo tears into Megachurch leader Naasón Joaquín García, for his abrupt guilty plea to three felonies on the eve of a long-awaited trial. Garcia will spend 16 years in prison after pleading guilty Friday to two counts of forcible oral copulation involving minors and one count of a lewd act upon a child who was 15. In exchange, prosecutors dropped 16 counts that included allegations of raping children and women, as well as human trafficking to produce child pornography.

We end with thoughts about how to come out as atheist without damaging your relationships.
