You're Culting All Wrong

The Family Skeptical

We start out by discussing an octopus mishap, and then Moms has some advice for religions who want to gain members. (We’re looking at you Mormons.) We finish up by trying to create a modern definition of masculinity, and it definitely includes nail polish.

And now for the links:

• Seth Andrews is wonderful both on his podcast, The Thinking Atheist, and Instagram.

• Somehow, last week we totally failed to link to the article we discussed by Christine Emba, Men Are Lost. Here it is.

• And What a Richard! #609 is I believe the episode of Thank God I’m An Atheist that we mention.

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.

Please reach out to us at [email protected] and tell us everything we got wrong.
