Podcast #140: Round-Earthers, Evidence, and the Power of Prayer

After beginning episode #140 with the realization that we may soon be receiving a human body part in the mail, we revisit (hopefully for the last time) the fact that there are "roundearthers" out there who actually deny that our planet is flat (people will believe just about anything it seems). We then discuss a listener's challenge about whether or not both theists and atheists stack the deck against their opponents, after which we weigh in on the so-called "power of prayer" (does it help, and if not are we just doing it wrong?). This segues into the issue of comforting those who suffer, and the good and bad ways of doing that. Our "Dick Move, God" segment introduces us to a man whose daughter *wasn't* killed in a religious war but who wishes she had been, and Christian's bieber involves wanting more bodily fluids to be emitted on TV, while Jason's has to do with the antiquated issue of long-distance charges. Also, they send us a toe we're supposed to shit ourselves with fear.
