The Iscariot Generation: Recent Episodes
Phil Barksdale
The thing Judas Iscariot was famous for was his betrayal of Jesus in the gospels. While I'm not sure if he even existed, some historians say yes and some say no, I think he's definitely someone I can relate to. I left the faith and resigned from ministry in 2019. To some, that seemed like a betrayal to Jesus. This podcast is a place for people like me, who left faith for reason. A place for former ministers or just former Christians to come and look at the reasons we left our faith. A place of healing and acceptance for some of us who have been dragged through the mud because we dared to stop believing. I will talk about my struggles, I will look at some popular teachings and Bible stories from a more skeptical perspective, and I will share your stories as well.

Today, we look back at the late actor, comedian, and former preacher Sam Kinison. I found a clip of one of his sermons and was really pissed off at the comments that had been posted. Let's talk about why Christians think their role is to judge others.

Today, we're listening to the audio from Adie's and my YouTube channel, Carpe Noctem's, latest episode, "Devil in the Details." It talks about three true crime cases where the murderers claimed to be led by or possessed by demonic forces. The DeFeo Murders (Amityville Horror), The Arnie Johnson case (Devil Made Me Do It Case/The Conjuring 3), and the David Berkowitz case (Son of Sam).

It's summertime and we're on break for the month of July, so this month, we'll be replaying episodes 3-6 of Season 2. This was a series we did on the Manson Family as we were looking at religiously motivated crimes. In this episode, I talk about Manson's release from prison into the 1967 Summer of Love environment in California. Manson builds "the family" and relocates it, eventually, to Spawn Ranch just outside of Los Angeles. Charlie's philosophies lead to rapid paranoia, abuse, and murder.

I didn't get to put out the episode I wanted to put out this week because my voice isn't strong enough to do it. Hopefully next week, I'll be able to put that one out for you. I did want to put out something for you this week, so this is a bit shorter than usual. I talk about the, "Without Excuse" argument that some Christians try to cite to prove that people who say they don't believe in a god are liars because the bible says we're just suppressing the truth.

In this episode, we'll look at a bit of the history of the fundamentalist movement. How it went from a handful of pissed off traditionalists to a government influencing super group. We'll also look at one of the main colleges to arise from that movement, Bob Jones University, and the scandals and controversies that made it the bad taste in our mouth that it is today.

This episode begins our first episode of the most horrific religiously motivated crime, I believe, of all time, the holocaust. This was the systematic and state-sponsored murder of 6 million Jews and around 5 million others who did not fit the standards of the Nazi regime's ideas of a pure and superior race. Today we look at the holocaust from its beginnings to the liberation of camps as the allied forces of the US, Great Britain, and the USSR marched into Western Europe sealing their victory over the Axis powers, and uncovering the atrocities that lay within. How did it begin? Who was to blame? We'll tackle these questions and more on today's episode.

I'm still waiting for permission to use some clips for the next episode, but I wanted to make sure to release something to you this week. I thought it would be a great time to release an episode of Adie's and my YouTube channel, Skeptic Vs Pagan for you to preview. This is our most recent episode, "Rave On: The Curse of Buddy Holly". Just something to give you an idea of what we're doing over there, and to encourage you to like and subscribe to that page, so you can see all the episodes we have as well as be able to see all the new episodes we release in the future. On this channel, we look at myths, legends, curses, conspiracy theories, and much more with Adie taking, most of the time, the believer's side, while I take the more skeptical approach.

In this episode, we discuss the case of Ron and Dan Lafferty and the 1984 murder of their sister in law, Brenda Lafferty, and her 15 month old baby, Erica. Ron Lafferty proclaimed that God had given him a revelation that 4 people were to be, "removed" as they were obstacles to his will on earth. A very disturbing look at how religious fanaticism destroyed one of the most respected families in Utah.

Jim and Tammy had the largest Christian program of the entire decade. Even bigger than Pat Robertson’s 700 Club. It grew so big that they even started their own Christian theme park in the backwoods of North Carolina called Heritage USA. It was an evangelical’s wet dream. Rides, shows, food, a 5 star hotel, timesharing options, concerts, Bible studies, and even a chance to appear on national television as a member of the studio audience on the PTL Club program, and other television programs produced by PTL industries. I mean this was huge! And it was then, right at the height of the PTL’s success, that the proverbial shit hit the fan.
The PTL club was broke and couldn’t pay its shareholders. The promises the PTL made to its investors were not being kept. Promises like lifetime accommodations to its resort and hotel, lifetime passes to the theme park, and of course their timesharing options were a nightmare. Rumors of Jim’s sexuality were starting to hit the media. It seemed there were allegations everywhere that PTL producers were constantly trying to keep quiet. Then the biggest scandal hit, when a young church secretary named Jessica Hahn accused Jim and another televangelist of assaulting her in a Florida hotel.
I mean, this story has a little bit of everything!

Well, we're on Summer Break for the next 4 weeks. During that time, I'm going to put out some episode montages with a little commentary. I thought that would be better than just re-releasing old episodes that you can always scroll up and listen to again anytime you want. This week, we'll be looking at the top 3 most downloaded episodes of Season 1. Well, actually 4, because there was a tie for 3rd place. I'm just going by the number of downloads that I've seen on different streaming sites. Anyway, hope you enjoy this look back.
This is the final part of our series called, "51 Days of Armageddon", entitled, "Out of the Ashes". This is also our final simulcast with The Iscariot Generation Podcast. In this episode, we look at the aftermath of the siege and hear testimony from several people who were there, taken from Congressional hearings from 1995. We'll look at the burning questions that arose from this horrible tragedy and see what truth can be found as we sift through the ashes of Waco.

The second episode in our special series concerning the siege on Mount Carmel in Waco, Tx in 1993, entitled 51 Days of Armageddon. In this episode, "The Pale Horse", Babylon (the ATF and FBI) have arrived at the door to serve their warrant to search the property and arrest David Koresh and some other members of the Branch Davidians; however, the self-proclaimed lamb of god and his people aren't going down without a fight.
The first episode in our 3 part series called 51 Days of Armageddon: The Siege at Waco. In the first episode, "Behold the Lamb of God", we discuss the origins of the Branch Davidians as well as Vernon Howell's transformation into the infamous, David Koresh.
Talking about the upcoming changes to the YouTube channel, which will no longer be called, "The Iscariot Generation", but will now be called, "Skeptic VS Pagan". Which is a new program beginning in July. After that, the Iscariot Generation will only be available in podcast form, while Skeptic VS Pagan will only be available on YouTube. Anyway, I explain all that in this announcement. LOL

On this episode, we look at the life of a young woman from Germany named Anneliese Michel. After being told she was demon possessed, she was subjected to 67 exorcisms over a 10 month period resulting in her death. She died of malnutrition and dehydration. Her parents and the priests who performed the exorcisms were charged with Neglectful Homicide. Today, we tell her story and ask, was Anneliese truly possessed as the priests claimed, or was she suffering from a medical condition as doctors claimed?
On this episode, we discuss the Mountain Meadows Massacre of September 11, 1857. How deeply was the leadership of the LDS Church involved? Why was only one man ever prosecuted? We talk about it all today?
This is the final episode in our series on the Manson Family. Today, we'll discuss the trials and aftermath and share some final thoughts.
Today we continue our series on the Manson Family, as we look at the crimes that shook Los Angeles and the entire country. The innocence of the late 60's peace and love movement was shattered, as we entered a time of terror and madness that the family called, "Helter Skelter".
In the second part of our series on The Manson Family, Charlie begins to build his family. Sex, drugs, and the vain philosophies of a madman turn a group of runaways and outcasts into one of the deadliest cults in the world.

This week, we take another look at Cults, focusing on the history of Cults. Where did they come from? How do they take you in? Is there a way out? I interview my wife, Adie, who shares her experiences with a fundamentalist Pentecostal cult that she was involved with early in her life. Also, another dumb commercial...because I just can't seem to stop.

On this episode, I discuss the question, "If God is good, then why is there evil and suffering in the world?" This was inspired by a recent debate I heard entitled, "Does the Fact that There is Evil and Suffering in the World, Disprove God?" I didn't want to get into that because there is evil and suffering in the world whether a god exists or not. I did want to touch on the idea of why a good, loving, and merciful god would allow this? Is this good Christian God not powerful enough to stop it? Has he lost interest in what happens down here? Why does he not intervene?

In the second part of our special presentation concerning the Satanic Panic of the 70's, 80's, and 90's, We'll look at the life and claims of Christian Comedian and supposed former Satanist, Mike Warnke. We'll see his rise to fame through countless lies and exaggerations and then how it all came crashing down once his lies were exposed. We'll also discuss how influential he was to the madness of the times. In our second segment, I'm joined by a special guest to discuss the effect the satanic panic had on our pop culture. From cartoons to toys to music, movies, and even our cleaning supplies, it seemed nothing was left untouched by Satan and his minions.
