Religion & Spirituality Podcas

Husband and Wife are two non-believers who have always wanted to read the Bible. Why would we subject ourselves to this you might ask? From our perspective it helps us understand where the Christians around us, here in the Midwest, are coming from when they quote the Bible at us. Husband is basically an Atheist and wife leans Agnostic but mostly Atheist and we’re just having some fun at the Bible’s expense while learning more about what our neighbors claim we’re going to hell over.

Cults vs Religion Part 2 (Patreon)

11/28/2024
AVAILABLE IN FULL ON PATREON Cults vs. Religion: Where Do We Draw the Line? (Part 2) Join Husband and Wife as they dive back into the murky waters of cults and religions in this exclusive Patreon episode of Sacrilegious Discourse. With their signature wit and skepticism, they explore the fine lines and blurred boundaries that define these controversial topics. Here's what we're unpacking: 1. Cults vs. Religions: Delve deeper into the defining traits of cults and how these overlap with organized religions. From charismatic leaders to control over personal lives, discover what sets them apart—or brings them together. 2. Sacrifice and Control: Examine the extreme demands of cult leaders like Jim Jones and David Koresh, and discuss how mainstream religions navigate similar expectations. 3. Endgame Scenarios: Explore the catastrophic consequences of cult loyalty tests and compare them to the symbolic sacrifices in established religions. 4. Societal Reflections: Engage in a lively discussion about the influence of media, politics, and online communities on modern cult-like behaviors. Whether you're here for the critical analysis or the candid banter, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of cults and religions.
