Hi Everyone,
To be perfectly clear, This is a fansub for The Scathing Atheist. I have no relation with any of the Puzzle in a Thunderstorm crew, and have yet to meet any of them.
I've been the sole mod for this community for a little over seven years. I strarted it on a whim because I've been a huge fan of the Puzzle Crew for a long time and wanted to have a place for other fans to gather and discuss the show. I started listening to the guys shortly before the conception of GAM and Eli's arrival as a full-time member of the crew.
As you are surely aware, the sub has had little traffic over the past few years, which I take full responsibility for as life events and a full-time job with demanding hours has gotten in the way. I'm hoping to change that over the forseeable future.
Recently, there have been a few posts by a user accusing the Puzzle Crew of complicity in genocide by their stances on the conflict in Israel with Hamas. (A topic I am wholly unqualified to have a hard stance on) I have removed that post as it was not made in good faith and the user was likely evading a ban from reddit itself.
I do not want to discourage controversial topics here at all, but I do expect that they be made with a certain amount of civility in mind toward the community as a whole. I openly invite criticism if you believe that this wasn't the correct move.
I've recently added some official rules and removal reasons to the subreddit, and aim to be more active in its moderation. I cannot do this alone and will be recruiting additional moderators to help out shortly. My main focus is to help foster the community to be as inclusive and welcoming as possible.
Please feel free to post your thoughts on the new rules and any additional things you'd like to see on the subreddit as we move forward.
Thanks.

To anyone who might be experiencing removal of your posts, I apologize for the inconvenience.
This is not an active attempt to take away your voice or remove your opinion. It's a problem with the new filtering settings that I was unaware of.
I will fix this as soon as I can, which will likely be after 1700 Eastern Time.
Apologies and thanks for understanding.

Does anyone know if the PIAT boys will be at ESC? Haven’t heard them mention it yet.

Is this correct to Noah?

Hearing it mentioned on the latest episode made me have some flashbacks. I was baptized there, forced to go through confirmation there, and subjugated to that place every Sunday, and then some (ugh youth group) from age 0 to 18. I am not surprised they’re involved in this. I used to have nightmares of getting trapped there and not being able to escape. Can confirm, terrible place.

Somebody crossposted me half-jokingly baiting the astrology reddit, and that's how I heard of this place. I was raised Jehovah's Witness but would now consider myself atheist. I've got bad ADHD, but was considered "twice exceptional" where I had giftedness but also the ADHD... but the ADHD has kind of destroyed my life because it's medication resistant.
Anyway, I'd love to hear what this show is all about.

Listened to the Mormon GAM episode and found this tidbit on Wikipedia.
Will now forever refer to Mormon country as “the jello belt”.

Anyone else get a gamcast episode instead of a scathing atheist episode in their feed this morning?

I was just on my morning commute on the red line and I looked up and saw a Bible museum advertisement. And the graffiti on it was top-notch.

I normally skip show notes, but I followed the link to the above mentioned video in the show notes of this week’s Skepticrat, and I cannot recommend highly enough that you do the same. It’s quick, only a few of minutes, and it’s amazing. The only downside is that it makes me long for new episodes of Be Reasonable.

Featuring Noah's talk "How to Die Like an Atheist" and Seth's presentation "Good People Giving Bad Advice."
I'm really glad Seth posted this on his channel. I just watched it today and it was my first time hearing the full story about Noah's heart attack in 2023. (I started listening to The Scathing Atheist in 2025 so I may have missed any earlier discussion about it.)

Absolute banger of a quote given by Noah Lugeons at the Ark Encounter Protest. This is why science communication is so damn important.
In case the quote got cut off in the title:
"The beauty of science is not that it teaches us a series of facts, although that's very nice of it to do. The beauty of science is that it teaches us to interrogate the world, how to tell what is true and what is false."

As the title says....
I was watching the guys new YouTube channel and it just occurred to me how our YouTube feeds are filled with perfectly curated images and then these guys humor and brilliant insights are injected into our lives like a reminder to stop scrolling and put the video screen down.
