  • Episode Thirty-Five: Civil Blasphemy
    Jun 14 2025

    On this episode, Autumn Sword, the Satanic Skeptic, argues that groomer accusations against LGBTQ+ people represent what author Robert D. Hicks called "civil blasphemy" and draws a direct parallel between the way such accusations are being weaponized to criminally prosecute people in the name of protecting children, and law enforcement's crusade against satanic cults during the Satanic Panic.

  • Episode Thirty-Four: My Existence Is Not Yours To Define
    Nov 17 2024

    On this episode, the Satanic Skeptic shines an infernal light on the controversy rocking the skeptic community- the question of whether biological sex and gender are binaries. As a scientific skeptic, and a trans woman, someone who has seen so-called critical thinkers make jokes of trans athletes, spread misinformation and pseudoscience, fan the flames of fear and anxiety, and call for the criminalization of gender affirming care that twice impeached, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist Donald Trump has promised, this episode is a grand declaration of war. It as educational as it is aggressive. It explains while it accuses and affirms while it condemns. Friendlier, more even tempered versions were submitted to Skeptical Inquirer magazine, and rejected for publication. So now, the gloves are off and the fangs are bared. Either you believe trans rights are human rights, or you're on the wrong side of the future.

  • Episode Thirty-Three: John Ramirez, Ex-Satanist Turned Evangelist
    Oct 31 2024

    Happy Halloween! On this episode, the Satanic Skeptic shares the spooky tale of one's man journey from "Satanic High Priest" to a born again Christian! Yeah, right. This episode is full of more tantalizing sweets than a trick-or-treat bucket, so pour yourself something nice, grab a handful of candy, and listen to how evangelical Christians continue to misrepresent Satanism to scare people to church!

I liked the topics and he was funny. I am not a Satanist but I don't think that being a Satanist makes you a bad person. In order for someone to make any opinion I believe should learn about it first.
