In Memoriam: Morgan Lambert. Nick, Luke, and Becky touch on xmas music, predatory tithing, a new biblical theme park, and domestic terrorist Matt Shea. They welcome author David Fitzgerald, who challenges the historicity of Jesus and his sexuality.

Becky, Josh, and Dan talk about how irrational belief can disadvantage children and impact public health.  They also discuss the potential benefits of atheist holidays and pan-humanity brain dump truth revelations.

Becky, Josh, and Luke reflect on the Winter Solstice, blasphemy, tornadoes, ghost pirate marriages, misguided fundraising campaigns, food seasons outrage, and extraterrestrial life.

Sam, Josh, Wes, Meredith, and Becky celebrate the solstice with a live show in Pasco with the TriCity Freethinkers. They muse about stolen holiday displays, defy god-belief through peculiar respiration, and entertain challenging audience questions.  Sam and Becky wrap up with reflections from 2017 and look forward to the new year.
