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)_/¯

Did the Jesus of the Bible actually exist? Did anyone in the bible actually exist? Are there any people out there looking for Hobbit bones with the same intensity that the man who owns Hobby Lobby looks for Jesus trinkets? Hobbit Lobby would be such a better name, and a way cooler place to shop if you ask me. Acquire in the Shire. Shoppit with a Hobbit. Catch these savings before they're Gandalf. Save Mo' wi...
There's a wave of bullshit sweeping across this great nation of ours, and the best way to stay out of the flood is to secure yourself on the rock of unbelieving. Rapture rhetoric is way easier to ignore if you don't believe in any of that shit. Got propaganda pouring out of your ears? Wear some earbuds, and play our podcast. IT WORKS. Also, Jason and I FINALLY send the winds on whipping down the plain all sy...
You know what there's just not enough of in this country? Children in schools with guns. That's why the fine christian folks of North Carolina have decided to buy an abandoned school, and teach children offensive tactical maneuvers in the halls. It's like jesus said, "Go out into the hallways and classrooms and pelt each other with plastic beads. I am the Lord." That Jesus sure loved to cut u...
Y'all remember that fire and brimstone evangelist pastor guy we listened to on the shortwave radio episode earlier this season? Well surprise surprise! Turns out his proclivities extend far beyond the world of short wave radio. These Stairs lead directly into the vaginas of teens and young women of his congregation. Jesus might need to start screening the people he chooses to have authority over all these youngin...
What in the hell is happening on earth? I'll tell you what. It's that damn New World Order they're trying to bring about. Old world order better watch it's butt because NWO is on top of their shit, and there's going to be a big fight Monday Night Wooooooooo, I said to figure out, Ohhhhhh Yeaaahhhhh, who gets to wear SHOOOOOOO that belt, or my name isn't Mean Gene Okerlund, but annnnywayyy...
World's Last Chance is The World's first chance, for someone to say "The World is Flat, Chance" but only if your name is Chance, by chance a.k.a. Chance Jr. Fat chance of that happening though. No offense to Fat Chance from high school, who lost a bunch of weight, and now goes by Skinny Chance. (he's still fat, but he has a lot of extra skin. We're taking up a collection to pay for the su...
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?
