Do UFOs exist? Is the government covering them up? Or perhaps using their existence to cover-up something else? Can certain substancs put us in touch with inter-dimensional beings?

Should Christians read fantasy? (Part 2)

Is there something perverse about Christians reading made-up fantasy stories that subvert the way God made the world? What about things like Harry Potter that posit a universe where witchcraft is good? And if we decide that that is bad, do we have to give up Lord of the Rings and Narnia, too?

Should Christians read fantasy? (Part 1)

Should Christians read or watch fantasy fiction? Is there something intrinsically immoral about it? Or is it just harmless fun? Our heroes begin their discussion in this episode, part 1 of 2, by giving some basic guidelines on what speculative fiction is (speculative fiction being the larger category that fantasy is a part of) and then have some fun outlining a history of the fantasy genre. This one is fun in our humble opinion. And it features the Hemanologians trying to write a fantasy novel.

Should Hamilton rewrite history?

Does the hit musical Hamilton actually have a duty NOT to adhere to history, but to improve it? Should present social, political, and moral realities affect how we engage with history as much as the actual history does itself? Are the changes to history made in Hamilton not just acceptable dramatization, but societal necessity? Our heroes answer this question and more in today's episode. Along the way, they'll talk about toxic fan-culture, SJWs, "corrective" lying, and more. This episode touches on Hamilton, but you don't have to have watched or listened to it. (You can go to Patreon to get our thoughts on Hamilton.) (Said thoughts are free even though they are at Patreon.)We are riffing on THIS article. Music: The Old Pumpkin Patch by Daren Curtis.

On Saying Goodbye

In the era of Facebook and social media, do you ever have to really say goodbye? Well, yes, of course, but it's complicated, and that's the subject of today's episode. Whether it's a doll or a memento, a house or a pet, a friend or a family member, it's hard to say goodbye. Our heroes are moving from their hometown of many years to plant a church together, and they got to thinking about the right and wrong ways to say goodbye. This is especially complicated in an age where social media and modern travel give us the illusion (or is it?) that relationships don't have to change based on things like proximity. This episode didn't really lend itself to including any skits, but you'll get a related skit next week featuring Andy Jukeman and Desmond Dark.

Gender Debate Blues

Sound of Sanity dissects an article by The Gospel Coalition on the "gender debate" aka transsexual rights issues, which purports to offer "courage and tactics" in the gender debate, but sadly does neither one. First, it makes some really crummy points. Second, the way its written is a cop-out in and of itself. In any case, our heroes have plenty to say in this episode. Featuring The Popcorn Coalition, Ricki Roseblum, and Dr. Buckner. This is a link to the article.

Some of us for our jobs, some of us just for fun. But is there any method behind the madness? Or is there just madness behind the method? In this Very Special Episode of Sound of Sanity, our heroes do a deep dive into the history of personality tests, in particular the MBTI and the much-disputed Enneagram. Is it science? Is it voodoo?

The ultimate and absolute evil

G. K. Chesterton called suicide the "ultimate and absolute evil." But today Christians are afraid to stigmatize it, out of a sense of compassion, and for fear that people won't seek help for their mental health issues. Our heroes discuss all this as it related to the suicide of Pastor Jarrid Wilson, who founded an organization called Anthem of Hope and officiated the funeral of a suicide hours before he killed himself.

Release the McCracken!

Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood is old news by now, so this episode should not be considered as a cold take on that. Rather, our heroes are facing off against an article by their old nemesis, Gospel Coalition writer Brett McCracken, he of "The Joyful Longing of Paul McCartney's Carpool Karaoke" fame. McCracken's take on the Tarantino movie is more than insipid, it's calling what is evil good. And this is something up with which our heroes cannot put. Featuring Ollie and Radiohead plus Walter and Gary. Support us here!Resources: 1. Here's the article under question by Brett McCracken. 2. Here's McCracken's article on The Hateful Eight. 3.

Gunman walks into church ...

Most guys have found themselves fantasizing at one point or another about what they would do if a crazed gunman walked into their business or church or school.

And Christians tend to do the same thing. In the 20th and 21st century, much of this stemmed from the work of one Joseph Campbell. We discuss him, and the dangers of seeing everything through story.

Christians should celebrate Thanksgiving because Christians should be thankful, right? Duh! Except ... what do we do with an American holiday that serves for many people to celebrate the great things about a country that, yes, has some great things, but also has some very wicked, shameful ones.Fact is, for many people, Thanksgiving is a excuse to decadently celebrate some decadent things about our decadent country, paying lip-service to some sort of permissive, grandfatherly American God, ignoring the Holy One of the Bible. What's a Christian to do? And, uh, what about the Native Americans who sorta kinda owned this country first?All that PLUS Nathan tells the true, completely 100% factual story of the Founding Fathers, and our heroes play a fun game.If you're interested in more info on fact vs fiction in the history of Thanksgiving, here's a good link. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Depression

"As it is recorded that David, in the heat of battle, waxed faint, so may it be written of all the servants of the Lord. Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy. There may be here and there men of iron, to whom wear and tear work no perceptible detriment, but surely the rust frets even these; and as for ordinary men, the Lord knows, and makes them to know, that they are but dust."--Charles Spurgeon, The Minister's Fainting Fits ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
