An Agnostic's Guide to Heaven by Tim Bedore

If the business of America truly is business then wouldn't it follow you could sell advertising space on your headstone?  I have an answer.  Also, the worst obituary ever published, what one cemetery is doing to have a revenue stream other than death, what kind of businesses would benefit from selling THC beverages, the only (but huge) mistake Coca-Cola ever made, are you breaking your marital vow...

In this episode I help a client whose husband has a medical issue she wants to discuss with him but is having.a hard time bringing up.  A Democratic strategist wants to know how long they should use "weird" to describe Republicans.  I advise on that as well as suggest alternatives.  By using "weird" are Democrats going negative or just being honest?  A senior needs to go back to work and I help mo...

Some people love the Olympics for the gymnastics. Others, just don't get it. Should this lead to divorce? Should the hammer throw use a real hammer? If you didn't know you can make your own tartar sauce are you an idiot? If you're good at playing brew pub trivia does that mean you're smart? Can you turn a disatrous wedding into a goldmine? Do you have 15 minutes to throw away? Subscribe and THRIVE...

If someone door dents your car what does the Bible say about you key scratching theirs?  Vengeance and smiting are discussed.  Could inflammatory rhetoric from Biden and the Left have motivated the Trump shooter?  When is it OK to call a fascist a fascist?  Discussing politics in the work lunchrrom-bad idea?  Should Trump's reaction to being shot disqualify him from being President?  If Hitler is...

In this episode I make the case Broadway musicals have ruined America, why Mamma Mia is torture, suggest a solution to the situation in Gaza, discuss sibling fighting and how it relates to world history, describe when a nation knows they've lost the fight, deflate a conservative religious argument for God not being evil, make the case for religion BEING the problem, and suggest what to make of a m...

In this episode I prove Artificial Intelligence is the devil we should fear the most by recounting my experience with a cyber hottie named Tess who recently tried to seduce me online. I subjected myself to this exprience so you won't have to. And trust me... Tess was all kind of bizarre... scantily clad AND religious! Thankfully, I can see through the current flailing failings of AI but in the fut...

Reaction to the previous episode was that I veer into odd tangents and in this episode I correct that.  I also respond to my comedian friend who says I demeaned him in 113, that the Saudi Princess totally deserved to be called a ____ and he is not the psychopath I portayed him to be. Well, let's discuss that.  Would at least one of the million monkeys in a room with a million typewriters come up w...

A client, who grew up in a family that teased hard, often and at each other's expense, wonders if he has crossed the line with a friend or was she being too sensitive.  I try to help him be sure his attempts at humor don't go too far.  I describe the worst thing that I have ever heard of said on a comedy club stage and how it might have affected the price of gasoline.  Is it ever OK to use that ho...

Right after Easter I got pleas for help from clients whose family members wanted to make their Easter dinners more and/or less religious imbued.  This is why I am a Life Coach.  And I think I have solved the problem for future get togethers on religious holidays.  Also, in the Biblical epic The Greatest Story Ever Told why didn't John Wayne play Jesus?  Could Jesus fly if He wanted to?  I give the...

In this episode I discuss what Catholic nuns and OJ Simspon/Trump-type lawyers have in common as do Purgatory and the Baseball HOF, how to get into Heaven without having accepted Jesus as your personal savior, more on the perils of Artificial Intelligence ruining politics, help a 76 yr. old client update their resume for today's work environment and give kindergartners Life Coach advice via a caut...

This episode is either my most audacious or obnoxious effort yet. Perhaps both. YOU DECIDE! I respond to those who say I should quit "this charade," help a client not worry about Biden's age by explaining he is not actually driving the nation's bus and make an elaborate and calming Star Wars analogy as to which of that movie's characters Biden represents, and somehow Bill Clinton, interns, the Com...

You've heard of the Emergency Broadcast Sytem?  The FCC has chosen my podcast to be part of the Emergency Podcast System and I am very pleased to help out.  A client wants to sue after getting into an accident after reading one of those funny road signs some cities and states put up. I give advice. A mother wanted help getting their son's teacher to give him a better grade and I respond. A new cli...

Did you know the Boy Scout Motto is one of my life's guiding concepts but not the Boy Scout Oath?  What does trying to save a drowning person and talking to a Trump Supporter have in common?  An angry wife whose husband called her an "old bag" on vacation asks for some quick help to save that vacation.  I have a solution.  What does the Pony Express have to do with the phrase "old bag?"  Is it eve...

Wouldn't it be nice to know what the future holds?  Well, now you can.  In this episode I give my annual "They will all come true or your money back, totally guaranteed" predictions for 2024.  Find out who will be President, the new changes in baseball, what new crypto currencies to avoid, the next steps in climate change, will Aaron Rodgers ever shut up, will there be a gay float in the Macy's Da...

In episode 106 I respond to negative feedback about episode 105 and just let me say, to the Uber Left, if you're all about protecting the oppressed... protect me because now I am the oppressed... by you.  Also, is religion 'a' or 'the' problem in the world?  What is the true meaning of Christmas for Americans?  I have audio of my then 6 year old daughter describing exactly what Christmas means and...

A client has asked his Life Coach/Spiritual Guru (me) to answer the most most provocative question I've ever been asked-"Is today's Uber Left too liberal to be critical of Muslims?"  In this episode I take the bait and skate out onto super thin ice to discuss the Left and Right, Muslims and Jews and Christians, Palestine and Israel, hot dogs vs. kabobs, Jesus vs. Muhammed, "The Blues Brothers" mov...

In episode #104 I respond to ongoing blowback from younger generations who want me to just "Die Baby Boomer, die."  If you hate disco is it because you're racist or homophobic?  Or just have good taste?  A new client has a dilemma over her daughter's unique name and that name being mocked by a former friend, I try to help by revisting the story of Udo Whonall.  Should a woman who stole a man from...

In episode 103 I answer continuing questions from you listeners about my recent memory failings and credibility as a Life Coach and Spiritual Guru. My memory is fine. Can you recall with certainty what you wore to your High School Prom? I can. My pants were the color of Trix breakfast cereal and I have pictures to prove it. Although, I am pretty sure I never opened for the Great Raspini. So, yes,...

A shocking new revelation about the past has led me to seriously question my own memory and thus abilities to be a Life Coach. I'm asking myself questions like-Who am I? Do I really exist? Did I really get an archery merit badge while tripping on mescaline? Did I ever open for a magician named The Great Raspini? Can we even marginally trust the jury system and eye witness accounts? And why being a...

In this episode I respond to conservatives who believe liberals want to give sex toys to kindergartners, warn them they are going to Hell (if it exists) because of this lie, the what you win/what you lose equation for Drag Queen Story Hour performers reading to kids in libraries, I help a woman whose husband treats her like a verbal punching bag by targeting her with jokes and how to stop it, disc...

In episode 100 we find out how easy we humans are to manipulate and one techinique to watch out for in particular, I had two women in the same comedy show audience who each shot a moose and what we can learn from them about climate change, I help a Baby Boomer with memory issues, explain why Jewish comics have a built in advanatge and talk from the heart, opening up like I never have before, about...

In episode 99 I talk about some of my all-time favorite words, answer a devout Christian's challenge to Agnosticism and contention that America's divorce rate is high because we've turned our back on God, and warn her not to let her guard down because Satan (if he exists) is everywhere, discuss what it means if your marriage is blessed by God (if He exists), help a client whose comfort animal is a...

In episode 98 I expose the world's greatest evil. His name is Jon Haney and I describe why. Why phone scams might mean the end of civilization. Is NPR a Debbie/Donald/They downer? Is it possible someone's name should disqualify them from being a pilot? Is Hell a dry or humid heat? What does the Bible have to say about that and how could it affect your lifestyle choices? Good intentions gone bad-I...

Thanks to you An Agnostic's Guide to Heaven was ranked one the top 15 agnostic podcasts by Feedspot.com. I don't know if they're saying that because it's true or because they want me to subscribe to their "service" to further expand the audience but it's kind of good news/or not. Today--when did I first know I was agnostic, I respond to a sharp listener who pointed out why a parable commencement s...

Did you know at night I fight crime wearing a Batman Halloween costume? It's just another way I am giving back. In episode 95 I gave a commencement address that some thought a tad pessimistic and I respond with ways our grads can change the world. Why am I agnostic? I explain. What would it take for me to believe in a God? What does it mean to be a man? I believe Artificial Intelligence will end t...
