Leaving religion to live an authentic life
On today’s episode, Tim and Isaac are joined by their better halves to have a roundtable discussion on marriage without religion. Most marriages operate within some form of religious practice or ritual, but what does marriage mean in the absence of God, Prayer, and church attendance? We discuss our own top ten rules of marriage, and discuss how despite the absence of religious practice how many relationships thrive regardless.
Today, we discuss some of the most cited and reputable authors who have, and continue to, argue against religious dogma and belief. Critics of religion are not in short supply, and there are many written works past and present that offer to voice counter argument, but these four always seem to come up or be cited at the head of the column
Purity Culture is a broad subject, and it can encompasses many different facets of a Christian’s life. Its impact can have a variety of effects on everything from sexuality, and body image, to self-esteem and your choice of relationships. Sadly, it leaves many with sensations of guilt regarding their sexuality even after achieving a committed relationship or marriage. Today we attempt to tackle this subject with the help of two special guests, Leah Thomason and Morgan Poling, who join us as we navigate this topic, and how it particularly affects women.
Today, we bring you an episode from our archive of talks and discussions we had leading up to the formation of the podcast.
