Heretics' Social Club
Co-hosted by Shauncey Fury and Jason Leger; Two self-reformed evangelicals with oddly similar backstories full of disdain for the church, and its teachings. Both born to young unwed mothers, both raised by Grandparents extremely active in church, both got sent off to emotionally manipulative Christian summer camps a la “Jesus Camp,” Both wound up embedded in the suburbanite subculture of Christian Hardcore & Punk music which lead to an interest in tattooing which is how they came together as Artist & Client. Together they’ll use their gosh-given gifts of unique insights, trauma-formed wisdoms & dark humors to navigate the absurdities littered throughout the history of religion. To those of you who feel stuck in a broken, manipulative, physically & mentally abusive system, or anyone struggling to wrap their head around a life outside of the church; We are here to help you make sense of the nonsense. You can stop serving the systems that no longer serve you. You can still have a happy life after breaking up with The Big Myth. Listen, just because he isn’t up there, doesn’t mean you’re alone down here. We’re all in this together, and we’re all we’ve got. Won’t you join us, friend? No gods. No masters. No worries. Got questions that need answers?, Answers that need questions? Love letters? Hate mail? Good or bad advice? Hell, maybe you want to sponsor this blasphemous maximus? Please drop us an e-mail: HereticSocialClub@gmail.com Who knows? Maybe we’ll read your letter on the air? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Season 6 is back in action like a descendant of the prophet Muhammad claiming to be the leader of the revolution against the sinful chaos that engulfs our world. It's wild that god in all his infinite wisdom couldn't foresee the struggles of man beyond the tidbits of "Y'all figure it out" he left sprinkled around the globe. Earth is basically an escape room ran by a complete psychopath with cl...
Did you guys know that it's impossible to survive inside of a whale for much more than a few minutes? Yeah, apparently there's just not enough room in there to build a fire which doesn't make sense to me because I've seen Pinocchio and there was definitely enough room in there for a Full size human, and a puppet, and I think Cleo was even there, but I can't be sure. I'll tell you one thin...
Hi folks. It's Jason. I bet you're wondering where Shauncey is, and to be honest, so am I. I would absolutely love to feel like this entire podcast wasn't resting directly on my back, but if there's one thing I know I can do, it's carry a load. This episode brought to you by Big Math: Making numbers fun since 2001. Enjoy.
Have you ever wished you could be in a room with men (just men) voting on the next in line to be god's boy wonder? Did you realize that if you've been baptized and are a man younger than 80, you could be pope (sorry, ladies)? Do you like butchered Latin phrases? Come with us today as we boldly go (come get me, nerds) one more episode with a Shauncey void, but filled to the brim with our good friend, Ryan Eat...
Follow us down the rabbit hole of traditions and bullshit that predated Jesus. Yes, there were things that came before him and no, he does not lay eggs. We will tell you where the bunny/egg lore comes from and sadly, it isn't Jesus' cloaca. We're joined by magical mystery guest, Michael Bishop this week, who brings along the lore of Spanish eggs (not huevos). Won't you join us, friends?
Faux/Fo...
Do you like the word moist? Do you love making other people moist? After you do that, do you stick an egg in a fountain and and hop over a mattress full of babies? If I had a nickel for every time I cleared a greased pole on the first try, I would have enough money to make my omelet fountain dreams a reality. If you'd like in on this venture at the ground floor, the answers you seek are inside. Won't you joi...
After the rapture comes tears, baby. That's right tribbers. Pre, Mid, Post. It doesn't frickin' matter when the lord returns as long as he comes at some point, am I right? I mean it's rude to leave someone waiting for you to come. Come or don't, but quit trying to rub it in our face. In the end though, it's all innuendo. If you don't accept the second coming of Christ, you either hav...
Time is a flat circle, kinda like a laserdisc, but not as irrelevant. Today we explore the final chapters of the Revelation of John on the Island of Patmos. Angels cc John on everything happening in heaven, Jason discovers his new "grown-up" voice, and Shauncey is a sober man, but not a doberman because he may be a big dawg, he's not a literal dog. Won't you join us friends?
This week we peel back the layers on John's onion of revelation, and get to the swampy bits. Sometimes cutting an onion makes you cry, and sometime it's because one of the guys breaks into a hymn that harkens you right back to yesteryear. I wish somebody would hark in my yester year if ya know what i'm saying? Won't you join us, friend?
We're well into the swing of things when it comes to the end of the world. The President is a lunatic. The Tik is Tok. Jason is 42. We don't know what the hell is going on in the modern world, but in the bible world we're knee deep in seals, trumpets, and horses. So many tongues. So few appendages. And I saw as it were, a seal riding a horse, and hell with seven horns followed with it. Honk. Honk. Honk....
There's no "s" on the end of The Book of Revelation, but there is one on the end of Fuckin' Fascists. Happy Inauguration Day to all who celebrate the end. Speaking of the end, we're at the end of the B-I-B-L-E, but not the podcast, so enjoy part 2 of Revelation, and stay tuned for more apocalyptic calamity in the U.S.A., as well as on the podcast. Won't you join us, friends?
Well folks, looks like this is the end. Technically it's the beginning... of our series on the end... which if you look at it from a christian viewpoint, is actually the end of the physical world, but the beginning of the longer lasting eternal spiritual world where we shall keep company with the hosts of the heavens which is basically primate chatter for "I'm going up into the stars like Mufasa when I ...
They say Jesus was born in a stable out behind a hotel, but imagine being the innkeeper who told a pregnant lady on the verge of delivery ON CHRISTMAS EVE that the only spot available for all that business was out with the fucking donkeys. Holy shit. Next thing you know there's a bunch of wise men with gifts knocking on the door. A kid with a drum. Someone who keeps asking Mary if she knew that her baby boy would...
Today we're diving into the Bastard Books of the Bible! The books that although they did not ask to be written, were written anyway. They were told their whole lives that they were holy books, but ultimately were not included in the big Family bible we all know and hate. Wait. Am I an Apocryphal book? I think I might be. Hell, you might be too. Let's find out together! Won't you join us, friends?
Season 5 is Alive! After three weeks in the grave, We Is Risen! As you know, one of our favorite parts of breaking down Bible stories is when you get to see glimpses of the humanity expressed by God's chosen ones. So we thought, what if we brought our same calloused irreverent views on the Bible over to the Koran. Would it be well received? Would we be hunted down like filthy dogs? Well, seeing as there is an ent...
Our favorite wife sits in with us for spooky season, and doesn't disappoint with the zingers. We talk about rolling down a hill in a barrel filled with glass, burning half to death before they chop your head off, and plenty more spooky ways to die. 101 Diocletians & Cruella ways to die. Won't you join us, friend?
Paul continues his domination of the New Testament with his most evangelical work yet. The Book of Romans has 9,447 words, and not one of them is feminist leaning. Paul wrote the book of Romans to explain the salvation process because apparently Jesus hadn't done a good enough job of explaining that during his ministry. Don't worry Jesus, Paul is here to fix all the ways you leveled out the playing field. En...
The Corinthians live on the shore in Greece. The kids call it the Greasy Shore, and MTV is doing a reality show there, but Pauly isn't very happy about the way Ron talks to the ladies at Bed after Sam left because she wasn't feeling very well, so you know he just HHHAAADDD to write a letter. There's mad drama down on the Grecian Shore! Won't you join us, friends?
Paul uses his divining rod to find how best to achieve divination on one's rod. We cut straight to the point as Paul jumps from circumcision to castration in a single verse. Give some people an inch, and they take a mile. These beliefs just won't cut it in today's world. As we briskly head into foreshadowed (& fore-skinned) territory, won't you join us friends?
"Pauline, Pauline, Pauline, Paaaauuullliiiineeee, I'm begging of you please don't write my man." - Every woman; c. 60-61 ad Trust me, you do NOT want your man hanging out with Paul. Paul is like that guy who talks your dude into staying out all night at the club knowing good and damn well y'all had plans to clean out the garage and get to the Flea Market early enough to get a good table. Giiii...
