A Friendly Atheist Uncovers Religious Cruelty, and Words

“Mr. Mehta covers a myriad of ideas, concepts, and actions based on religious ideology impacting community and how the absense of thought and rational is debilitating citizenship, personhood, and society itself. Hemant takes care to expose personal, group-based, and ill conceived political activism, which either is deliberately misguided or uninformed, acting as a basis to establish socially normative, political, or legal agendas targeting marginalized groups for power, profit, and cruelty. Seems global psychopathy has found a home and religion, in this podcast we get the addresses and phone numbers. No word yet…maybe the word of God?
Challenging is not the word for the material and observational critique Mehta and Jessica might proffer, try the following: unreasonable backward facing emphasising mediocrity and superstition employing millineums old text in support of a worldview and origin story having no basis in fact, reality, integrity, linearity, coherence, of reason—that’s the word I’d use and they both certainly seem amenable to this postulate, not putting a word in either one of your mouth’s...I hope.
But other words come to mind: Covering how an outsized minority of “believers” do harm, not from a religious piety or a moral center, but substituting greviness ideology (I’ve been wronged, you are the reason why.) along with centuries old arcane codios materials sourced or derived from a book of magic that can be referenced using a word, Bible.
Mehta’s co-host, Jessica (to be clear, I am not implying patriarchal ownership here—it might be the other way round), plays off the issue items with a different perspective. Not at odds with Hemant (using your first name as by now we are familiar with each other), Jessica brings in a wider context and individual worldview of her own—together, intersectioanal.
Irrespective of their individual quirkiness, both revile the place this podcast requires in visitation and the shear leaps of logic contextualizing the wider theonomic cesspool both cast their pearls.
My last word, “godsplaining[1]”.
[1] Disdain and disaffected treatment respecting modernity, civility, truth, reason, and logic while veiled in a Shroud of Turin, rising from the ashes of mythological ghosts to fend off deniers of dogmatic self enslavement whilst proclaiming to be benefactors to a white, male, misogynitic, and racist heritage formed into a septer held on high. NOTE: using your time godsplaining, as a godsplainer, aligns with many the of people “believing” there’s is their pre ordained mission (impossible, and this is supported by evidence) from DOG.”

“I love that this podcast has such a genuine approach to atheist interests. Sometimes the anger at religion you find in other atheist podcasts is necessary and warranted, but it's nice to listen to thoughtful debate/humorous commentary without all the yelling. I love the new coverage on...”Read full review »
