    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Thinker is joined by Mama Bash and Pynk Beard to explore the nature of objective reality and the mechanics of deconstruction!

    Truth Wanted 09.20 with Jamie the Blind Limey and Zenamae - We Are Here Fundraiser Special

    22/05/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
    Special Episode: We Are Here 24 hour fundraiser! https://aca.show/wearehere 

    This episode was extracted from our 24hour fundraiser live stream on May 16-17. We apologize for the delayed posting!

    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Jamie the Blind Limey and Zenamae dive into the complexities of observed reality and the impact of religion on minority communities! From the "chain" of colonial faith to the whimsy of a conscious earth, the hosts challenge callers to ground their worldview in evidence rather than comfortable fictions.

    Sarah in IN wants nature to be conscious to soothe climate anxiety. Hosts warn that "half-truths" remove human responsibility and could lead to cults. If the earth is sentient, why let itself be harmed? Is this just a comforting fiction?

    Aji 337 asks about believers who never read their holy books. Zena finds it jarring when people pretend to know the text but ignore its contradictions. They discuss the dangerous cycle of pastoral authority. What happens when faith hits reality?

    Truth Wanted 09.18 with ObjectivelyDan and GothDamnIt_J

    02/05/2026 | 1h 51 mins.
    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and guest GothDamnIt_Jay explore the intersection of alternative subcultures and atheism! They dive into the aesthetics of the dead, the weirdness of being a third-generation atheist, and whether biblical mythology is just a well-funded fantasy franchise. Can secular individuality survive the pressure to stay in line with ancient Christian dogma?
    Michelle in NY explores Lucifer’s rebellion and spiritual warfare. Dan dismisses these as biblical fanfiction, while Jay views them as entertaining myths like Greek legends. Is there any reason to treat angel hierarchies as more than fantasy?
    Rudy in TX argues Christianity is true because it is hated and historically accurate. The hosts dismantle the "hatred equals truth" logic and highlight the lack of evidence for the Exodus. Can stories pulled from a "poetry jar" survive history?
    Thank you for joining us today! We will see you next week and don't forget to add your answer to this week's We Want The Truth question: What is Bigfoot's favorite conspiracy theory?
