Puzzle in a Thunderstorm

A weekly look at religion and the stupidity that breeds it. Hosts Noah Lugeons, Heath Enwright, and Eli Bosnick delve into theistic attempts to intrude on the secular world in an unflinching expose on just how juvenile the whole god thing is.

The Scathing Atheist

In this week’s episode, Christians reject our adorable Satanic gnomes, our next chief of public health takes a fake shower like 8-year-old me trying to trick my mom, and CS Lewis will prove himself to be as bad at math as he is at analogies.
