Summary

Author and radio personality John Fugelsang joins The God Pod to discuss how the right continues to twist the Bible and Jesus with sickening levels of hypocrisy. Buckle up, this is a PERFECT 36-minute episode.

1. This Week on The God Pod: John Fugelsang

John Fugelsang is a Drama League nominated actor, comedian & broadcaster who hosts the acclaimed "Tell Me Everything" series on SiriusXM Progress #127.

His first book, "Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back The Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds" will be published this August by Simon & Schuster's Avid Reader Press.

John, the child of an ex-nun and an ex-Franciscan brother (yes, really), has a lifetime of perspective on faith, religion, and the way it’s been hijacked by fascists and frauds.

He’s thrilled to speak directly with God and Jesus so he can finally say what’s been on his mind: stop spinning the Bible to justify cruelty.

We also put John on the spot: What would you say to Elon Musk if you spoke to him directly? As you might expect, he nails it.
