It doesn’t matter if you are a \"Weirdo-in-Christ\" or just a Weirdo – everyone is welcome here at the Church of the Undead. And I use the word “undead” because here we are DEAD to sin and ALIVE in Christ! If you want to join this Weirdo congregation, just click that SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW button – and visit us online at WeirdDarkness.com/CHURCH . Full disclosure – I might use the term “pastor” because I’ve branded this podcast as a church – but I do not have a theology degree, nor did I ever go to Bible college. I’m just a guy who gave his life to Christ in 1989 and has tried to “walk the walk” every since – and has stumbled a lot along the way – because, like everybody else, I am an imperfect, heavily-flawed human being. So please don’t take what I say as gospel; dig into God’s word yourself for confirmation, inspiration, and revelation. That being said, welcome to the Church of the Undead!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T08:17:29.506914+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254"},"episode":{"title":"WHEN THE MOON GREW WINGS: A Lesson in Deception and What We Can Safely Believe","slug":"when-the-moon-grew-wings-a-lesson-in-deception-and-what-we-can-safely-believe","published_at":"2025-09-07T11:00:08+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254/when-the-moon-grew-wings-a-lesson-in-deception-and-what-we-can-safely-believe","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/church-of-the-undead-4947254","url":"https://weirddarkness.com/cotu-moonhoax1835","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/67659159/cotu20250907_whenthemoongrewwings.mp3","summary":"In 1835, a New York newspaper convinced thousands of readers that the moon teemed with bat-winged humanoids, walking beavers, and unicorns, creating the most successful media hoax in American history. The techniques that fooled Yale professors and missionaries nearly two centuries ago are the same ones being used to deceive you today, just wearing modern clothes and confirming what you already want to believe.
