In our latest podcast, Jessica and I discussed the past week in politics and atheism.
We talked about:

— A Christian pastor, formerly an extremist, is urging Trump to tone down the violent rhetoric. (23:00)
— A FL teacher was suspended after posting a message about how racism was over and Pledge protests were immature. (25:33)
— Never debate Christian pseudo-historian David Barton. His rules are weird. (30:25)
— An Oregon man won’t pay taxes because he’s a Christian who opposes abortion. So there. (35:58)
