Years of radio broadcast experience (including an amazing speaking voice), plus a mid-life awakening concerning the toxic fundamentalist Christianity he'd embraced, equals a safe home for former and questioning believers.
Description
Seth Andrews, a former Christian broadcaster and believer for 30 years, ultimately escaped the bonds of superstitious thinking to embrace the more satisfying explanations that science provides.
A professional video producer and host of one of the most popular atheist communities on the internet, Seth Andrews brings a polished format, a relaxed environment and a rage-free challenge to the religious beliefs that defined his youth.

Australia's Channel 7 produced a 10-part series called "Scientology: Black Ops" starting Leah Remini and Paul Haggis. Strangely, they cancelled the broadcast on the day it was scheduled to air.

The Righteous & The Woke: Purity Cults in the Struggles for Justice (with Dr. Valerie Tarico)
4033
In this crazy world, how often has a passionate desire for justice caused us to oversimplify complex problems, ignore details that don't validate us, and vilify all who dare to disagree? Has "Woke Culture" sometimes exhibited a dogmatic, even religious, attitude toward the worthy and the unworthy? And is it even possible to have a reasonable conversation about this in the Era Of Online Outrage?
Psychologist Dr. Valerie Tarico joins Seth Andrews for just such a conversation. Dr. Tarico's article "The Righteous & The Woke:" https://valerietarico.com/2019/01/24/the-righteousness-and-the-woke-why-evangelicals-and-social-justice-warriors-trigger-me-in-the-same-way Support our sponsor: http://www.blinkist.com/seth This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3270347/advertisement |
