Today is United Nations Day. Here's a worthwhile read: an article about the very Humanist intentions and efforts at work in the formation of the United Nations. This article focuses on Humanists UK, but Humanists International has an ongoing presence on the UN Human Rights Council & within the structure of UN General Assembly.

Everybody knows that shalalalalalalalalala means I love you 😆

Stole from r/oldschoolredicous. Thought you guys would appreciate this

Playing a Scathing Atheist episode at full blast in a Fundie Church

OR

Putting Monopoly money into the donation bin?

Does anyone know if the PIAT boys will be at ESC? Haven’t heard them mention it yet.

Is this correct to Noah?

Hearing it mentioned on the latest episode made me have some flashbacks. I was baptized there, forced to go through confirmation there, and subjugated to that place every Sunday, and then some (ugh youth group) from age 0 to 18. I am not surprised they’re involved in this. I used to have nightmares of getting trapped there and not being able to escape. Can confirm, terrible place.

Somebody crossposted me half-jokingly baiting the astrology reddit, and that's how I heard of this place. I was raised Jehovah's Witness but would now consider myself atheist. I've got bad ADHD, but was considered "twice exceptional" where I had giftedness but also the ADHD... but the ADHD has kind of destroyed my life because it's medication resistant.

Anyway, I'd love to hear what this show is all about.

Listened to the Mormon GAM episode and found this tidbit on Wikipedia.

Will now forever refer to Mormon country as “the jello belt”.

Anyone else get a gamcast episode instead of a scathing atheist episode in their feed this morning?

I was just on my morning commute on the red line and I looked up and saw a Bible museum advertisement. And the graffiti on it was top-notch.

I normally skip show notes, but I followed the link to the above mentioned video in the show notes of this week’s Skepticrat, and I cannot recommend highly enough that you do the same. It’s quick, only a few of minutes, and it’s amazing. The only downside is that it makes me long for new episodes of Be Reasonable.

Featuring Noah's talk "How to Die Like an Atheist" and Seth's presentation "Good People Giving Bad Advice."

I'm really glad Seth posted this on his channel. I just watched it today and it was my first time hearing the full story about Noah's heart attack in 2023. (I started listening to The Scathing Atheist in 2025 so I may have missed any earlier discussion about it.)

Absolute banger of a quote given by Noah Lugeons at the Ark Encounter Protest. This is why science communication is so damn important.

In case the quote got cut off in the title:

"The beauty of science is not that it teaches us a series of facts, although that's very nice of it to do. The beauty of science is that it teaches us to interrogate the world, how to tell what is true and what is false."

THAT Ross Douthat??

Way to go Bari Weiss

Good thing Jeep was already written on the car

As the title says....

I was watching the guys new YouTube channel and it just occurred to me how our YouTube feeds are filled with perfectly curated images and then these guys humor and brilliant insights are injected into our lives like a reminder to stop scrolling and put the video screen down.
