Living In Goo...and Salt

The Family Skeptical

We open the episode solving the mystery of “flippin” and introducing some weird audio that we can’t explain. But we swear no one was actually sharpening knives during the intro. That would be a weird vibe, even for us. Then we discuss Moms’ realization that we may be reading more into the Bible than we even realized. And we finish exploring the concept of innocence.

And now for the links:

• Here is Data Over Dogma’s episode Why Is She Salt?

• Here is the episode of Talk Heathen with the woman who believes Christianity has an explanation for the start of the universe. She’s the first caller.

• Moms was wrong to bring up Watchmen, but it’s still an amazing series worth a read.

• This is the book, Seveneves, by Neal Stephenson that Pops mentioned.

• And Moms found the children’s book she mentioned about how animals sleep. It’s called Snooze-O-Rama.

The Family Skeptical: We’re a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children. We ask big questions, dissect weird parenting moments, and examine how society ignores or misrepresents families like ours. If you’re any stripe of non-believer who’s involved in raising children, welcome! You are our people.

Our kids are Reader (9) and Go (7!), and if you want to find out how we arrived at these peculiar pseudonyms, go back to Episode 1.
