| 10/3/25 | No Heresy Trial (Yet). Four Entertaining Stories About Religion. | Send us Fan Mail This is a bit different from my typical podcast. This is four stories inspired by religion. The story of Rachel and Rebecca, and the mandrake. (You have never read this story so you know nothing about the mandrake (or even what it is). The Story of my close brush with the Rapture. (I will admit. I brought it on myself). The story of the first (?) female pope. So you have never heard of Pope Joan. Well, you will now learn ... | 28m 56s | ||||||
| 9/19/25 | Marx and the Jews. Not What You Expect. The 1844 Manuscripts. | Send us Fan Mail Bruno Bauer, an intellectual colleague of Marx, wrote two essays to which Marx reacted strongly. The first was called “The Jewish Question” (Die Judenfrage), the second “On The Capacity of Present-Day Jews and Christians to Become Free.” Marx wrote two essays responding to Bauer’s work, using the same titles. The group of intellectuals of which Marx and Bauer were a part were debating how to achieve freedom (emancipation). Bauer saw Jews in terms of the Jewish rel... | 45m 57s | ||||||
| 8/27/25 | The Gaza Genocide. A Public Talk | Send us Fan Mail This is a public talk I delivered on the concept of genocide and the arguments presented in the South African genocide charge against Israel in late 2023. Several people who wanted to attend but could not asked if it could be recorded. We tried, but somehow that did not work out. To the extent possible I tried to be scholarly and analytical in this talk. But how can we be scholarly and detached and analytical when we see Miss Rachel singing "hop ... | 21m 36s | ||||||
| 8/17/25 | The Logic of the Israeli Hard Right. | Send us Fan Mail There are extremist groups in Israel that trace their origins to Rabbi Meir Kahane. Today they control the balance of power in the Israeli cabinet. Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are the most prominent personalities. Both are extremely violent and are determined to complete the conquest of what they see as their homeland. And the removal of what they see as alien populations. Smotrich just announced that there will be 3,400 housing units in the E-1... | 34m 56s | ||||||
| 8/4/25 | International Memoirs: Opening Paragraphs. | Send us Fan Mail This is Part II of a project I developed for my Honors Class. I typed up the opening paragraphs of scores of memoirs in my personal library. My students would read these and discuss them. They really liked this assignment. Part I (American authors) was posted earlier. This is Part II, international authors. If you listened to Part I, you can skip the first minute or two (introduction) and go directly to Karen Blixen, Out of Africa. | 32m 34s | ||||||
| 7/18/25 | John Brown of Harper's Ferry Fame. The beginning of the Civil War. | Send us Fan Mail Jane and I recently went to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. This was the place where John Brown, in October of 1859, conducted his famous strike against slavery. Brown and all of his men were killed, which he anticipated might happen. So why did he engage in such a seemingly-futile action? In the bookstore I saw a biography of Brown written by W. E. B. Du Bois in 1909. Du Bois was the greatest Black intellectual of the 20th century and this book shows ... | 38m 00s | ||||||
| 7/1/25 | That REALLY, REALLY Bad Word for African Americans. And My Struggle With It. | Send us Fan Mail I sometimes tell people that I am a recovering racist. It is not really my fault. I grew up in a culture (the 1950s in the border South) when that was just the way things were. The outward and visible sign of our moral failure was that word. You know the one I mean. We used that word without even thinking of it. It was just the word we used. But as I went to college and had two Black room mates, and then lived in Kenya for two years, ... | 28m 54s | ||||||
| 6/15/25 | Is Christianity Polytheistic? The Doctrine of the Trinity. A Reposting | Send us Fan Mail Today, June 15, is not only Father's Day. It is also Trinity Sunday. To me, the concept of the Trinity is incomprehensible. Which is why I am the perfect person to explain it to the rest of you. This podcast started twenty years ago when one of my Muslim students asked me to explain it to her. She should have asked me to explain E=MC Square. Oh, I can do that: "Matter exploded equals energy and this led to the atomic bomb. Is that r... | 33m 40s | ||||||
| 6/12/25 | Visit to Palestine During a Time of War and Genocide, One Year Anniversary. Reposting. | Send us Fan Mail In June of 2024 I spent eight days in occupied Palestine, i.e., the West Bank. It is now a year later and I thought this report might deserve a reposting. I went with a group of people who had religious connections. I was the only secular academic. I found this a valuable approach, to be with people who saw this conflict in such a different way. This is a report on what I saw and what I concluded. Note that this is Part I of my repo... | 36m 50s | ||||||
| 6/1/25 | Famous People I Met Along the Way | Send us Fan Mail This is the last lecture I delivered in my academic career. I discovered that I had miscalculated the end of the semester and that I had an extra class. I did have a regular academic topic but my wife said, "You are a senior professor. You have taught 48 years. Your students see you as someone who has had a life time of experiences. They will forget an academic lecture but they will not forget your personal stories. Why not tell them about ... | 1h 16m 00s | ||||||
| 5/23/25 | The Logic of a Moral Assassin. Why I Killed Gandhi. Relevant to the Killing of Two Israeli Embassy employees. | Send us Fan Mail Why I Killed Gandhi by Nathuram Godse Two employees of the Israeli Embassy in D. C. were shot to death this week (May, 2025) . The Manifesto of the shooter shows him to be very distressed by the mass death in Gaza. He felt what is called "the moral imperative to act." So did the person who killed Gandhi. This is a discussion of that person's manifesto. Gandhi was assassinated in 1948. In the two movies I have seen, the assassin is po... | 25m 44s | ||||||
| 5/15/25 | The Election of Pope Leo XIV, An American Pope. | Send us Fan Mail I was amazed at how much information is available on the internet about this election. Of course, biographical information is public, but the cardinals swear an oath of secrecy before they go into the conclave. And yet somehow information leaks out. I wish I could say I had a cardinal-friend who shared insights with me, but all of this 2025 Conclave stuff comes from the internet. Please forgive me for mispronouncing the name of the Cardinal of Jerusale... | 22m 06s | ||||||
| 5/13/25 | Everything You Wanted To Know About the Catholic Church (But Were Afraid to Ask). Reposting | Send us Fan Mail This was an orientation lecture in my course on Religion and Politics in 2020. It does have a few of those classroom comments ("don't forget to turn in your papers" sort of things), but otherwise it has quite a bit of information about sometimes confusing topics. Don't forget to check out my recent podcasts on Leo XIII and my own candidacy for pope. I did not get the nod but you can see that I raised the right issues (and maybe even influenced the outcome). ... | 1h 00m 39s | ||||||
| 5/8/25 | Pope Leo XIII. Rerum Novarum (an inspiration for Pope Leo XIV). A Reposting | Send us Fan Mail Are you interested in why the new pope took the name of an old pope? Is he sending us a message? Leo XIII was a modernizing pope whose most famous encyclical (1891) was called Rerum Novarum (New Things). This is a class lecture that I delivered on that encyclical. I discussed key passages and why it was so important. ps. Don't miss my last podcast on why I am running for pope. It is not what you might think. Perhaps it should... | 1h 11m 17s | ||||||
