Losing Our Religion

A former megachurch pastor leaves religion behind to rid himself of the exclusivity created by its dogmas in order to open himself up to learn from the lives, stories, and experiences of everyone else. To prove we are more alike than we think and we can all get along no matter what we believe. Topics range via guest's experiences growing up in religious homes, where Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Secularism, Judaism, Hinduism, Tao, Heathenism, Satanism, Wicca and all forms of dogmas and ideologies programmed into the mind of a child. What happens when that child becomes an adult? What good things do they hold onto? What things do they lose? Where are they now, and in what ways are they finding the peace that we all desire, with or apart from the religions they were raised with? Losing Our Religion is a wild ride with a community of diverse humans each seeking their desired life away from dogma and exclusivity.

Thinking Thursday’s are about critically thinking, breaking out of boxes, and discussing new ways we could live this life together.

Growing up religious many of us where taught enmeshment and codependency not an autonomous partnership in our relationships. The idea of “two becoming one” is toxic relationship math. One person plus one person does not equal one, it equals two. What do you think?

Being you is hard enough, it’s even harder when being you somehow trigger's someone else. We can’t change how people perceive us, but when we hurt them unknowingly, no matter how they react, they deserve to be heard.

Thinking Thursday’s are about critically thinking, breaking out of boxes, and discussing new ways we could live this life together.

You are unique. Your struggles are not. We are universally bound to each other and face and deal with the same struggles. As we face our internal struggles we begin to have more compassion for the struggles of others. Keep going!
