ScathingAtheist 326: Sim's City Edition
Added 2019-05-16 05:06:58 +0000 UTCStick around to the end to hear why Eli's probably not allowed in Morocco anymore.
(At the request of a few patrons, and upon realizing that it really only delays the release of the episode by a couple of minutes, I'll be adding the show notes to the Patreon release from now on.)
Show Notes:
In this week’s episode, Christians will take their balls and go home, Heath’s opening bullet point will get cut from the intro because it refers to a story we decided to push to next week and that’ll make the intro sound weird, and Steve Anderson is reminded that in Ireland, they drive out the snakes.

2019-05-20 11:31:22 +0000 UTCYou damn near killed me with the Morocco story. The BALLS OF STEEL on you, Eli. I was thinking of this Run the Jewels lyric the entire time: "...But maybe you should be careful when flipping a stranger's switch. When 'nothing to lose' is a step up, then everything's 'for the win.' ...So we grin in the face of frauds, and tell monsters to suck our dick."

2019-05-19 22:52:36 +0000 UTCWas it just me that thought it was really mean to a) take out the anger and frustration at a customer service person in a developing country b) while using scabs during a union strike?

2019-05-17 12:36:54 +0000 UTCI just thought you should know I used to attend Grace Brethren Christian School (10th & 11th) and was under their "homeschool umbrella program" for 9th & 12th grade. I graduated in 2016, and yes, everything was as terrible as you think it was.

2019-05-17 12:02:11 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say, as a trans woman, thanks for the Carl the Pugapegacorn bit in this episode. It's a lot better than certain... other, reactions to this sort of thing. And it gives bigotry no quarter. You guys made it so clear. That's incredibly important to me.
