About this episode

The episode discusses the disconnect between religious fanatics' beliefs and the fundamentals of their faith, alongside commentary on current events and literature.

This week we’re yapping about an old favorite topic—how the religious fanatics convinced that they know the mind of God barely seem to have a grasp on the very basics of the religion they claim to adhere to, and how that’s probably bad for the world. Plus thoughts on Project Hail Mary and whatever else is going on in the world this week. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something?
