Talk Heathen 07.34 with Forrest Valkai, Jmike, and Jamie The Blind Limey

On today’s special episode of the Talk Heathen we have three hosts! The amazing trio of Forrest Valkai, Jmike, and Jamie the Blind Limey make this an amazing episode. Kevin in OR is deconstructing his mennonite faith and is unable to shake the fear of going to hell. Religious trauma can be hard to get over, this even happens to people that haven’t believed in decades. It fades over time, you’ll realize you’re thinking about it less and less. It may help to look into the origins of the hell belief, it’s fascinating. Krissy in KS participated in a PAID in advance “digital seance” and felt really out of place. A family member paid to try to contact her deceased brother. We’re very sorry for your loss and that you had to go through that. Gently talk to your family about your hesitancy with this scheme. Ben in TX is seeking advice after deconverting last week. Build a good epistemology and find or start a community of like minded people. You’re also pretty close to us, come visit us on the last Sunday of every month. You’re free to learn about and deconstruct every belief that pops up.Seven in GA wants to find a way to circumvent the weak vs hard atheist labels. Really it comes down to Theist or Atheist, Gnostic or Agnostic. Just make it about the belief, not the certainty of that belief. Ed in AL is frustrated by creationist debunks of evolution, like one kind of animal only creates the same kind. Oooh, great call for Forrest! There are examples across the fossil record of transitional “kinds”, actually everything is a transitional form. For the sake of argument, proving evolution wrong doesn’t point to creationism or a god. Evolution is the logical conclusion of biology, your offspring is always slightly different. Thank you for tuning in to your community! This week's Talk Heathen To Me prompt is: What is biblical advice that could get you arrested?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/talk-heathen--3195702/support.
