Rise Now And Be Counted
Are American churches doomed to extinction? Today, Super live-reacts to a video claiming that very thing for a, uh, *certain* denomination. Let’s chat about the problem of aging congregations, pastor shortages, and hostile cultural shifts. Emails in the second half!

In a first for our show, Super reviews a video game (Gamer Word no bully). And not just any video game, but the masterpiece of 4-bit horror and Christian character building that is Faith: the Unholy Trinity by Airdorf Games. Let your imagination run wild as we go through the themes of regret, redemption, Erik…
At the end of the Shepherd of Hermas miniseries, we teased a new long deep dive on the seventh ecumenical council, Nicaea II. Well my friends, promises made, promises kept; let’s start out by reading the canons of the council and looking at the most blatant power grab in Church history. Before we decide what…
So someone requested we do a show on a 17th Century cult/secret society called the Knights of the Apocalypse. Unfortunately, details are so scarce that we know hardly anything about this mysterious group at all, save a few of the names. But fear not my dear audience, SuperLutheran and his Imagination Team were able to…
As a follow-up to the Cainism lectures, let’s talk about Nimrodism as we continue to explore the cthnonic religions lost to the sands of time… or are they lost? The problem is, Cainism died and its corpse produced a theology of loss that permeates most paganism. Nimrodism, unfortunately, is alive and well. This episode starts…
This one’s for the nerds. Today, SuperLutheran makes a philosophical argument that consciousness is an inherent property that comes out of human existence itself…and once a person starts existing, they never stop. In other words, oblivion don’t real, annihilationism is wrong, and no matter who you are you will spend eternity somewhere. Note: for us…
For today’s Godcast, we kick it OLD SCHOOL and do the emails FIRST. Mostly because the email segment is two hours long. AFTER THAT though, starting at the 2:18 mark, let’s hear Super’s speculations concerning the first pagan religion: Cainism.

Join Super as he live-reacts a video where some crowley-ite “priestess” gives her life story and then subtly tells everyone that she lied about it. If we’re going to be going over conspiracy theories, it’s good to know that these people exist and lie to you with every breath they take.

“Would you smash your face and wear makeup? I’d smash my face and wear makeup. I’d smash my face…hard.” Today let’s chat about the arguments for looksmaxxing, the issues concerning “lookism” in economics and the Bible, and give a Christian answer to the people that embrace it. Spoiler warning; no, we aren’t answering with the…
Join Super as he…um…can we call this a review? We found him in a dumpster with a voice recorder, and when we brought it in to the editing room we just didn’t know what to make of it. He kind of argues with birds while talking about the sleeper hit documentary What Ravens Do for…
