Penn Jillette Talks to God and Jesus
Dear Humans, Jesus and I sit down with the man who once said, “The question isn’t ‘Is there a God?’ The question is ‘Why do people believe in God?’” That’s right. Penn Jillette is on the God Pod! Not to oversell it, but it might just be the greatest thing you’ll ever witness in your entire life. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to watch Penn Jillette mock God to his face…this is your moment. Here’s what we got into: Faith and doubt — Penn shares his real thoughts on religion, atheism, and why he respects believers who actually walk the walk. Do Penn and Teller hang out offstage? — You’ll find out. Their dynamic is fascinating and refreshingly un-Hollywood. How they made it big — The unlikely road from street performances to a long-running Vegas residency. They still can’t believe it. Bob Dylan deep cuts — We asked for one favorite. He gave us a whole playlist. It’s delightful. If Bullshit! came back — What would Penn call out now? From conspiracy grifters to political hypocrisy, he’s still on fire. His new novel, Felony Juggler — Coming May 6. ! I hope you enjoy watching this episode as much as we did recording it. Thanks, humans! Love, God

Biblical Scholar Dan McClellan Talks To God and Jesus!
Dear Humans, Today, Jesus and I sit down with social media star, author and Bible scholar Dan McClellan, whose new book The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture's Most Controversial Issues drops April 29. Dan breaks down what the Bible really says about hot-button issues like abortion, slavery, lying, and homosexuality…and how scripture often contradicts itself. He also shares how he went from being raised agnostic to becoming a Mormon, and what most people get wrong about Mormonism. If you're skeptical about a Mormon writing a book like this, just wait until you hear what Dan has to say. There are smart, left-leaning folks in every faith tradition, even the ones you wouldn’t expect. Don’t miss The Bible Says So when it hits shelves April 29. Love, God

Watch This Brilliant Comedian DESTROY Elon Musk And Christian Nationalism
Author and radio personality John Fugelsang joins The God Pod to discuss how the right continues to twist the Bible and Jesus with sickening levels of hypocrisy. Buckle up, this is a PERFECT 36-minute episode. Letters from God is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. 1. This Week on The God Pod: John Fugelsang John Fugelsang is a Drama League nominated actor, comedian & broadcaster who hosts the acclaimed "Tell Me Everything" series on SiriusXM Progress #127. His first book, "Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back The Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds" will be published this August by Simon & Schuster's Avid Reader Press. John, the child of an ex-nun and an ex-Franciscan brother (yes, really), has a lifetime of perspective on faith, religion, and the way it’s been hijacked by fascists and frauds. He’s thrilled to speak directly with God and Jesus so he can finally say what’s been on his mind: stop spinning the Bible to justify cruelty. We also put John on the spot: What would you say to Elon Musk if you spoke to him directly? As you might expect, he nails it.

Watch Elon Die Inside Over His Empire Collapsing
The richest man on Earth is falling apart. In a recent interview he was very close to tears. Let’s laugh at his pain together! 1. Behold! Musk’s empire is crumbling Elon Musk went on camera and nearly broke down. When asked about Tesla’s struggles, the man who claims to be the smartest person alive suddenly didn’t have any answers. 📉 Tesla stock is in freefall. 🐦 Twitter is still a broken mess. 😭 Even his most devoted fanboys are losing faith. The protests are working. The myth of Musk as an untouchable genius is shattering before our eyes. 2. This Week on The God Pod 🔥 God and Jesus laugh at Trump’s “everything’s computer” remarks while sitting in a Tesla while still hating his guts. 🔥 The real concern from the Tesla stunt: Trump threatening to throw people in prison for protesting Tesla. 🔥 Why SNL’s latest Mike Myers / Elon Musk Cold Open was so amazing. 🔥 Elon unexpectedly got emotional on camera. 🔥 If humans are looking for hope and inspiration, look no further than Bernie’s recent conversation with constituents who are feeling the pain. He’s packing them in because he LISTENS to the humans! 🎧 Listen now, and join us for the next live recording!

Elon Loses $111 Billion

Elon Loses $111 Billion
Rejoice, for I bring thee tidings of great schadenfreude: Elon Musk hath lost a whole Bill Gates. 1. He Did This To Himself Tesla’s stock hath crashed over 40% since December, wiping out $111 billion of Elon’s fortune. Turns out, investors don’t love it when a CEO ditches his own company to spend his days boosting Nazis and banning journalists. And who smote him most? His best bro Don-old. Trump’s new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico are wrecking Tesla’s supply chains, and the stock market took one look and said nah. Funny how licking fascist boots always ends in you getting your face stomped. Yet despite losing more money than the entire net worth of Bill Gates, Musk remains the world’s richest idiot. Will he learn? Nay. He shall keep wreaking havoc and pretending he isn’t the dumbest rich guy alive. Spotted on the London Underground. 2. This Week on The God Pod This week, we were LIVE here on Substack while recording! Huge thanks to everyone who listened in—we can’t wait to see you all again for future live stream events! On today’s episode: 🔥 We react to Donold’s State of the Union and why all this talk about ‘norms’ needs to end (Except for Norm MacDonald—he’s up here in Heaven and keeping us entertained!) 🔥 Donold goes after Canada for no good reason—and history has taught us, Canada doesn’t back down from a fight. 🔥 God offers a crazy idea: What if Dems gasp broke some rules? 🔥 Why it’s ridiculous that Republicans are canceling in-person town halls—because cowards fear their own voters. 🔥 God’s favorite video games right now—because sometimes even the Almighty needs to escape reality. 🔥 Why our flock has grown so quickly over the past few months here at Letters From God. 🎧 Listen now, and join us for the next live recording!

Moron Wants Boeing To Rush His New Plane
Dear Humans, Another day, another disaster waiting to happen. Donold wants Boeing to rush a new Air Force One—because what could possibly go wrong? Inflation is “back” (according to Donold), people are apparently flipping eggs like real estate, and Sean Duffy is making up more lies about air safety. Oh, and if Jesus came back? Yeah, let’s just say it wouldn’t go well. Let’s get into it. 1. Topics include: The Department of Government Evil (DOGE) Donold wants Boeing to rush a new Air Force One What Donold is really saying when he admits inflation is ‘back’ Are humans are buying up all the eggs just to resell them? What God thinks would happen to his son if he returned to Earth The latest lies Sean Duffy is sharing about air safety How Donold accidentally insulted his Vice President while fawning over Elon
