×Legal rights groups urge school leaders not to adopt Texas’ Bible-infused curriculum The Texas Tribune, By Jaden Edison, on January 30, 2025 https://www.texastribune.org/2025/01/30/texas-aclu-bible-bluebonnet-curriculum/#:~:text=The%20American%20Civil%20Liberties%20Union,Learning%2C%20would%20%22unlawfully%20impose%20a The Texas State Board of Education’s recent adoption of the Blue Bonnet curriculum, a Bible-infused educational program, has sparked legal concerns and pushback from civil rights groups. Critics argue that the curriculum heavily integrates Christian ideology, downplays significant historical events like slavery and civil rights struggles, and promotes religious favoritism in public education. Supporters, on the other hand, defend it as a necessary inclusion to properly teach students about history and the influence of Christianity. Adding fuel to the controversy, the state is offering schools $60 per student to implement the curriculum, raising concerns about whether this amounts to coercion. Legal organizations are warning school districts of potential constitutional violations, particularly regarding the separation of church and state. Texas now joins other states like Louisiana and Oklahoma in pushing religiously motivated education policies, with legal battles looming on the horizon. The broader issue at play is where the line should be drawn between education and indoctrination. If a curriculum truly aimed to educate about religious diversity, it would include perspectives from multiple faiths, rather than elevating Christianity above all others. Yet, attempts to introduce other religious viewpoints often meet resistance. A recent Supreme Court ruling weakened the “Lemon Test,” a key standard for determining church-state separation, further blurring the legal boundaries. The concern now is that similar religiously motivated educational policies could spread unchecked, challenging secular principles in public education. This push for Christian-centric education also exposes the hypocrisy in religious privilege. If proponents argue that the majority should dictate educational content in a democracy, then why aren’t non-Christian perspectives equally considered? While groups like the Satanic Temple and some Jewish organizations have challenged such policies in court, these efforts often receive less attention. The core issue remains: why does Christianity receive special treatment while other faiths and secular viewpoints are marginalized? With legal battles ahead, the role of religion in public schools may soon face even greater scrutiny.

Pastor who compared Trump to Hitler is pushed out of church Mail Online, By Bethan Sexton, on February 4, 2025 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14359493/pastor-compared-Trump-Hitler-church-charlotte-myers-park-baptist.htm Dr. Ben Boswell, a pastor at Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, was asked to resign after church attendance declined during his tenure, which began in 2016. While church leaders insist his removal was due to dwindling attendance rather than his progressive sermons, critics argue that his messages of inclusivity, racial justice, and political awareness alienated white congregants who didn't want to confront issues of privilege. The discussion highlights the tension between religious institutions preaching social justice and the financial realities of maintaining a congregation. The panelists note the irony of a church claiming to support inclusivity but rejecting the social consequences of that stance. They also debate whether churches should engage in politics at all or focus solely on social work, like aiding the poor, without taking a political stance. Ultimately, the conversation underscores the broader trend of declining church attendance and the struggle for relevance in modern religious spaces.

Priest Booted From Church After Imitating Musk's Salute The Daily Beast, By Emell Derra Adolphus, on January 30, 2025 https://www.thedailybeast.com/right-wing-catholic-priest-father-calvin-robinson-hits-the-musk-salute-at-pro-life-talk/ Father Calvin Robinson, a right-wing priest with ties to the UK’s far-right movement, was removed from his church after performing a salute reminiscent of Elon Musk’s controversial gesture at Trump’s inauguration rally. Robinson claims it was a joke mocking liberal outrage, but the Anglican Catholic Church took swift action, drawing a clear line between political expression and extremist signaling. The panel discusses the implications of religious leaders engaging in radical rhetoric and contrasts Robinson’s actions with Minister Buddy’s call for compassion and inclusion. They note the long history of religious institutions aligning with fascism and mock Robinson’s complaints that liberals criticizing him are the real fascists. They also find it ironic that he claims victimhood after deliberately provoking outrage. The discussion highlights the hypocrisy of extremists using religion as a shield while pushing hateful ideologies.

Republican congressman suggests some children receiving free school lunches should work at McDonald’s instead NBC News, By Rebecca Shabad, on January 28, 2025 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/republican-congressman-suggests-children-receiving-free-school-lunches-rcna189614 In this discussion, the panelists criticize Georgia Congressman Rich McCormick's recent statement suggesting that children who receive free school lunches should get jobs to cover the cost. McCormick's stance is described as misguided and harmful, with one panelist comparing it to a villainous plot to push child labor. The panelists argue that such policies undermine efforts to support low-income families, including Head Start and Meals on Wheels. They also point out the systemic problems that cause poverty, such as inflation, stagnant wages, and lack of access to healthcare. The group expresses frustration with politicians who use these issues as an excuse to vilify the poor, rather than addressing the underlying causes. They also critique the notion that children need to work for their value, highlighting how such attitudes fail to consider the importance of education and childhood development.

After 'faith-healing' death of 8-year-old girl, 14 Christians found guilty of manslaughter The Friendly Atheist, By Hemant Mehta, on January 29, 2025 https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/after-faith-healing-death-of-8-year This tragic story highlights the devastating consequences of extreme religious beliefs, where a young girl, Elizabeth St, lost her life due to the refusal of essential medical care. Elizabeth's parents, guided by their Christian cult, chose to pray for her healing instead of administering insulin for her type 1 diabetes. Despite earlier warnings and a hospitalization scare, they continued their faith-based approach, leading to her death after six days without insulin. The court convicted 14 members of the cult for manslaughter, but many questioned why it wasn’t considered murder, as the parents' refusal to provide medical care was based on deeply held religious beliefs. The case has sparked outrage, especially given that the parents had already been warned about the dangers of their actions. Advocates argue that religion shouldn't shield harmful behavior, and the legal system failed to properly address the severity of the situation. This event raises broader concerns about the role of religion in medical decisions and the safety of children in similar faith-based communities. Some also feel the medical and legal systems failed Elizabeth, as her earlier hospitalization should have prompted closer oversight.

The discussion centers on the issue of child marriage in Bangladesh, as highlighted by an article from The Telegraph and supplemented by another interview. It delves into the societal, economic, and cultural factors driving child marriage, particularly for girls. The narrative also touches on the importance of education, as many girls, despite their dreams of a different future, are often sold into marriage due to poverty, lack of education, and religious pressures that see women as secondary to men. There's recognition of both the tragedy of the situation and the attempts to help through educational programs, which aim to change the generational cycle of poverty and oppression. The discussion also highlights how both boys and girls face marriage at young ages due to poverty, though girls face more extreme abuses. There is a consensus on the necessity of education and economic support for families to prevent child marriage and provide hope for the next generation. Telegraph, By Tom Parry, on January 20, 2025 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/women-and-girls/bangladesh-child-marriage-girl-brides-brac-school-education/ The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.06.2 featuring Jimmy Jr., Helen Greene, Rob, and AJ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support .…
Scientists reveal the surprising height of the Biblical giant Goliath Daily Mail Online, By Wiliam Hunter, on January 26, 2025 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14317919/Scientists-reveal-Goliath-height-Bible.html In this discussion, the panel dives into the controversy surrounding Goliath's height and the potential medical diagnosis of gigantism. The article in question suggests that Goliath may have had gigantism, a condition caused by an overproduction of growth hormone, leading to extreme height and other health problems. The conversation shifts to whether this medical condition would make Goliath a fitting candidate for the biblical fight against David. Some members of the panel question the relevance of such historical details, arguing that it doesn't really matter in the broader scope of faith or mythology. However, others explore how the story of David and Goliath could be a literary device designed to symbolize something larger than just a battle of physical strength. They suggest that the story, in its exaggerated form, might have been created to illustrate the triumph of the underdog, with David's victory representing divine intervention over seemingly insurmountable odds. The team also discusses how the details surrounding Goliath's size and medical condition might be less important than the symbolic meaning behind the story, urging a shift from focusing on historical accuracy to examining the underlying narrative. Ultimately, they conclude that the specifics of Goliath’s height and health issues may matter less than the lesson conveyed in the biblical tale.

Bishop urges mercy for immigrants, Trump calls her 'nasty' Reuters, By Steve Holland and Jeff Mason, on January 22, 2025 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-attends-prayer-service-gets-an-earful-immigrants-lgbt-youth-2025-01-21/ This conversation highlights a striking moment in political and social discourse, where a religious leader felt compelled to speak out and remind a president, in this case, Donald Trump, to have compassion for others. The discussion centers on the disconnect between those in power, their words, and how they affect vulnerable communities. The episode explores how people like Trump, who lack introspection, have risen to power and whether such figures should be trusted with significant authority. There's also a deeper commentary on the current state of democracy and the unsettling trend of unqualified individuals reaching top political positions.

Black America Drags Old-Fashion Pastor Who Forced A Woman to Apologize to the Church for Being Pregnant Yahoo News/The Root, By Phenix S Halley, on January 9, 2025 https://www.yahoo.com/news/virginia-pastor-forces-woman-apologize-194700753.html This Segment discusses the troubling dynamics of societal and religious shaming regarding sex and pregnancy outside of marriage. The focus is on a young woman who was forced to apologize to her church after becoming pregnant out of wedlock. The pastor's harsh response, including the denial of a baby shower and social ostracization, is scrutinized. The panelists express outrage over the double standard that allows men to avoid blame while women bear the brunt of the shame. They critique the persistence of outdated, misogynistic views on sex and sexuality, particularly within religious contexts. The conversation expands to the damage done by purity culture, repressing natural human desires and perpetuating harmful stereotypes about women's roles in sexual relationships.

Supreme Court takes up parents’ bid to opt out of LGBTQ content at elementary schools This Segment discusses the Supreme Court hearing a case about parents wanting the option to opt their children out of LGBTQ+ content in classrooms. The speakers argue that such movements stem from a fear of change and differences, primarily driven by conservative and religious groups. They stress that fostering an inclusive and kind environment for children is crucial, highlighting the dangers of creating ignorance by blocking certain topics like LGBTQ+ issues. The discussion also touches on parental responsibility—emphasizing that the goal is not to create copies of oneself but to raise independent individuals who can interact with the diverse world around them. NBC News, By Lawrence Hurley, on January 17, 2025 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-takes-parents-bid-opt-lgbt-content-elementary-schools-rcna188205 The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.05.2 featuring Phoebe Rose, Helen Greene, and Aaron Jensen Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support .…
An Oklahoma lawmaker's sneaky proposal would let the state indirectly fund Christianity Oklahoma's state legislators are pushing to amend the state constitution, seeking to remove the word "indirect" from a clause that prevents public funds from supporting private religious institutions. The aim is to channel state funds to religious schools, particularly Christian ones, without direct funding. In 2016, voters rejected a similar effort, and this new push reflects ongoing attempts to bypass the separation of church and state. Opponents of the bill argue that it could result in public funds indirectly supporting churches, including those of potentially less popular or controversial religious groups, which could lead to inequality in public funding.

Scientists find that cavemen ate a mostly vegan diet in groundbreaking new study JOE, By Ryan Price, on January 11, 2025 https://www.joe.co.uk/news/scientists-find-that-cavemen-ate-a-mostly-vegan-diet-2-471100?fbclid=IwY2xjawHzYDtleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd2UJJnF69VVfOgz1klTAT78dKBfhwELc9WWh4w8uApYNV02vlGj5Z238w_aem_7jt6ZMICID6vWVZ2TQG9-A Original paper: Isotropic Evidence of high reliance on plant food among Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers at Taforalt, Morocco Reference on evidence of cultivation:https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1318176111 The article in question sparks an important discussion about the nature of human diets, particularly those of Paleolithic humans, but the way it's framed seems misleading. An author claims that a tribe of Northwest African humans, around 13,000 BCE, lived on a "mostly vegan" diet, which sounds like clickbait. However, when you dive into the article, it's clear that the term "vegan" is problematic. Veganism, as we understand it today, is a modern concept that includes moral considerations about animal welfare, a concern not relevant to Paleolithic humans. The study focuses on a specific group of people from North Africa, not all Paleolithic humans. It uses dental evidence—such as cavities caused by the consumption of starchy plants—to infer dietary habits. But this doesn't equate to a vegan lifestyle; it suggests a plant-based diet with some animal products, but the use of the term "vegan" is misleading. These people were opportunistic eaters, consuming whatever was available in their environment, whether it was fish, plants, or animals. Additionally, the region they inhabited was lush with rivers and streams, suggesting that fish could have been a significant part of their diet. The author of the article fails to account for the diversity in Paleolithic diets based on geography and resources, which varied greatly. The study in question offers a snapshot of a small group in a specific area, not a sweeping generalization of human dietary habits during that time. Understanding this nuance is critical when discussing Paleolithic diets and the assumptions we make about them. While the study itself offers some fascinating insights into early forms of horticulture, it's crucial not to overgeneralize or mislabel ancient human diets based on modern concepts. The findings are important but should be viewed within their specific context, avoiding the trap of applying contemporary dietary labels like "vegan" to people who lived in a vastly different world.

On a Mission God: Inside the Movement to Redirect Billions of Taxpayer Dollars to Private Religious Schools ProPublica , By Alec MacGillis, on January 13. 2025 https://www.propublica.org/article/school-vouchers-ohio-church-state-tax-dollars-private-religious This discussion dives deep into the decades-long efforts of Catholic leaders and conservative politicians in Ohio to redirect public school funding toward private religious institutions, primarily Catholic schools. Using the guise of "school choice" and rhetoric about helping underprivileged children, this strategic takeover has disproportionately harmed public schools, drained their resources, and exacerbated systemic inequalities. The panel highlights how this scheme, orchestrated by bishops and a Catholic governor, has fueled segregation and restricted opportunities for African-American students. It also exposes how religion continues to infiltrate public policy, prioritizing indoctrination over equitable education.

With awful logic, Christian professor says atheism leads to more sexual assault and self-harm The Friendly Atheist, By Hemant Mehta, on January 15, 2025 https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/with-awful-logic-christian-professor This discussion revolves around a sociological article published in the Journal of Sociology and Christianity by Professor Philli Truscott of Southern Baptist University, making unsupported claims linking the rise of religious "nones" to increases in sexual assault and suicide rates. The article's methodology was criticized for skipping the scientific rigor necessary to distinguish correlation from causation. Several issues were flagged, including the selective publication of such a study in a Christian journal, which allowed unverified claims to pass under the guise of academic credibility. The panel dissected the misuse of data and how such narratives are weaponized for right-wing agendas. Key arguments included the cherry-picking of statistics, misinterpreting graphs, and ignoring broader societal contexts, such as increased awareness and reporting of sexual assaults in recent years. Comparisons between unrelated data points, like rising sea levels and transgender identification rates, were humorously used to illustrate the absurdity of such faulty correlations. The panelists criticized this manipulation as a tool for fearmongering, promoting the idea that non-religious individuals or minorities are societal threats. They noted this tactic aligns with the broader goals of some religious institutions to bolster membership and financial support. The conversation closed by pointing out the hypocrisy within Christian leadership, where higher rates of misconduct are often uncovered.

LA Is Burning, and the Right Is Furious—About Sign Language InterpretersMother Jones, By Julia Me'traux, on January 13, 2025 https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/01/california-fires-asl-sign-language-woke/ The discussion highlights California's ongoing devastation from wildfires, where 12,000 structures have been destroyed, tens of thousands evacuated, and numerous lives, both human and animal, lost. Yet, instead of focusing on this tragedy, right-wing figures like Charlie Kirk and Christopher Rufo criticize sign language interpreters during emergency broadcasts, labeling them as “woke.” The panel agrees this rhetoric is part of a larger conservative effort to dehumanize marginalized groups, including the disabled. The conversation underscores how such attacks aim to strip minorities of visibility and support while sowing division. The panelists emphasized the importance of American Sign Language (ASL) as a complete, nuanced language essential for the Deaf community. They condemn the right's targeting of interpreters, likening it to fascist tactics used historically to vilify and control minority groups. This dehumanization fosters tribalism, allowing conservatives to rally followers around a shared hatred of the “other.” The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.04.1 featuring Jimmy Jr. , Jonathan Roudabush, and AJ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support .…
