Today we talk with James Valliant, author of Creating Christ: How the Romans Invented Christianity. We discuss the possible bad effects of the SCOTUS leak, and the worse outcome if Roe v Wade is struck down. Then we wrap up with Disney vs. DeSantis.

Martin is ending with a call-to-action regarding the new podcast app, Fountain, and is informing how you could send donations, based on the value for value model. We will pick winners in the four upcoming episodes of our show. The four winners will each get 50,000 Satoshis, to their Fountain lightning address (electronic wallet).

Another call-to-action: After you have listened to this episode, add your $0.02 (two cents) to the conversation, by joining (for free) The Secular Foxhole Town Hall. Feel free to introduce yourself to the other members, discuss the different episodes, give us constructive feedback, or check out the virtual room, Speakers' Corner, and step up on the digital soapbox. Welcome to our new place in cyberspace!
