Joel Webb's neo-Nazi conference books Alex Jones while a TikToker claims the energy sensors in her hands move foil by telekinesis.Her telekinesis claim falls apart once you account for a tilted table, breath escaping behind a mask, hidden heat from a blow dryer and simple TikTok editing, and Matt Dillahunty's openly performed magic shows where an honest trick ends and a lie begins. Ray Comfort's sermon calls "God has a wonderful plan for your life" a false gospel, rejects altar calls and the sinner's prayer, and tells preachers to make sinners tremble before judgment and hell. That fear pitch arrives while evangelical churches keep losing members: Greg Locke and Paula White have each seen attendance drop from about three thousand to three hundred. Comfort's jab at blaspheming politicians seems aimed squarely at Donald Trump. Joel Webb's lineup includes panels on Christian nationalism, patriarchy, race realism and Jewish supremacy, with Alex Jones, J. P. Sears and James Fishback as speakers. The Christian nationalist pastor brags about his Aryan wife and children, and Webb's appearance on the Stu Peters show, where Peters questions whether Hitler was evil, runs straight into the Holocaust records. Colorado's win closes the episode. After lobbying by American Atheists and its Colorado Secular Advocacy Team, the Colorado Department of Corrections will no longer force parolees into 12-step programs. Parolees will be referred to Smart Recovery, sober housing providers must disclose any faith-based requirements, and telehealth will be offered where no local group exists. Kathy Hochul vetoed a similar reform in New York.
