No Heresy Trial (Yet). Four Entertaining Stories About Religion.

from StocktonAfterClass · host Ronald Stockton

Send us Fan MailThis is a bit different from my typical podcast.  This is four stories inspired by religion.  The story of Rachel and Rebecca, and the mandrake.  (You have never read this story so you know nothing about the mandrake (or even what it is). The Story of my close brush with the Rapture.  (I will admit.  I brought it on myself). The story of the first (?) female pope.  So you have never heard of Pope Joan.  Well, you will now learn about her. And the time I threw my hat into the ring when the papacy became vacant.  (I know.  It sounds like a bizarre scheme but the Church was in big trouble and i did not feel that I could just stand on the sidelines and watch it disintegrate). Then, just for the sake of those not yet offended, I threw in a few atheist jokes. Enjoy!
