It’s been one of the great joys of our lives to be the hosts of the Christianity Without the Crap Podcast. But alas, all good things must come to an end. We’re feeling both sad and grateful, but we feel great about how this podcast has helped so many rethink their spirituality, escape the gravity of negative religion, and realize they are not alone in their “heretical” thoughts. Love you all!
It’s been over a month since our last episode… so what’s up? Mark and Tammy have been on a completely unplanned but incredibly exciting hiatus. Find out what’s been going on and what’s to come for CWOC!

Christians did not invent shame. But we may have perfected it. Which is really too bad, because Jesus whole deal was the repudiation of shame. Yet the teaching of the church has inspired deep shame in millions, and it can be tough to root out.

Many feel that empathy is the key to loving enemies… But does empathy really change the systems that create enemies? It’s the systems & structure of society that put us at odds, & those systems hurt our enemies too. Loving our enemies means fighting to free us all.

The word “homosexual” did not appear in our Bibles until 1946. (wait… what?) That word is a mistranslation of the original greek, & resulted in the marginalization & persecution of millions. Rocky Roggio’s new movie is an attempt to expose this intentional error.

Despite everything, there are still people who believe that Christianity has something good to offer. Amy Peterson is one of those people. Her book “Where Goodness Still Grows” brings a fresh new perspective to some old virtues in a way that can revitalize our faith.

Evangelicals tell a pretty wild tale about the End Times. But where’s that come from? Keith Giles explains that the whole story about 666 & the beast & the antichrist, all coming to get you, represents a gross misinterpretation and misappropriation of scripture.

Many believe that humans are the only creatures to have a soul, that we’re the point & pinnacle of creation, & that other creatures only exist to be the extras in our movie. But this is bunk. It’s a mentality the causes untold suffering, and destroys the planet.

Evangelicalism doesn’t have the best reputation for including people who are “different”. An institution that values conformity leaves a lot of people behind. As an academic and a person with autism, Erin Burnett has both studied and lived this, and we’re honored to interview her.

From the 16th through the 20th Centuries, the great nations of Europe, and later the United States, conquered & colonized the world, looting resources, destroying cultures, enslaving populations & carrying out genocide, all under the pretext “saving” the “savages”. Evangelicals think this is a bygone era. They dont realize how this heritage continues to influence them in dark ways.

The election is over, and we have a new president (whew!) But we continue to be starkly divided. Can we heal in that environment, without putting on an avoidant, phony, superficial “niceness”? Maybe… but progressives need to find new ways to interact with conservatives.

We all know that Mark and Tammy talk alot of smack about Christianity and Christians. But can they see anything good about it after 2000 years of Christians screwing it up? Can we throw out the bathwater without throwing out the baby?

We’re back from our Summer Break! And we’ve got a great Interview to start our new season. Ryan Bell is a former pastor turned atheist, with a story of transition that’s fascinating and informative. Even if you’re not an atheist, there’s much to learn here about the process of breaking away from fundamentalism and toxic religion.

This week we hear a response to episode #53 “Moderates Where Are You?” Our good friend Jesse Fadle gives us some insight into the complexities, risks and conflicting instincts that make it difficult for moderates to know what to do or say when the world gets crazy. And he tells us why he thinks more moderates may finally be finding their voice.

Moderate christians don't have a voice in the public square for one simple reason… They’ve chosen to remain silent. if you’re a moderate christian, we feel like your voice sorely missed right now. You're in a position to help soften the views of people on both sides of the divide. But it feels like you dont wanna show up.
