Happy belated Halloween everybody!
Halloween is a favorite holiday of mine, and of course–because it’s fun and there is no Jesus involved–it’s under fire from the loonies. Richard joins me for a SPOOOOKTACULAR Atheist News Podcast show in which we discuss topics such as DEMONCANDY, God naming rights, the terminally credulous (some dead, some only sweaty), Michael Beeheeatch, the thwarting of political tomfoolery and which days of the week it is and is not acceptable to pick your nose. And, not to be left out, the Pope had some stupid shit to say about Halloween as well.
Enjoy!

Msybe it’s just me, but from the beginning, Joe can’t be heard at all. It’s just a half-conversation featuring Brother Richard.
My name’s Jason F too
I found the same thing until I put my other ear bud in. Joe is only in the left channel. (is channel the right word?)
Agh!
God damn it, sorry guys, I am fixing it right now and re-uploading it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Early on Joe, you go on a tangent about the roots of YHWH in the earlier pantheon. Can you show me the support for this notion, please? It’s pretty interesting from a anthropological perspective.
I’ve always quite liked the hypothesis that Judaism was developed from Zoroastrianism which in turn was developed from Atenism, Akhenaten’s monotheistic cult. Though that monotheism did come from a polytheism inwhich Aten was the Kinggod like Zeus was.
Thanks for having such an insightful view on this topic. Thanks for making me think about things a little differently.
