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.

Losing Our Religion is a hilarious and candid look at religion and culture, with former pastor, now commune living lover of sinners, Zac Gandara.  As he has drinks with former religious freaks, and others he used to shun.  Gays, Anarchists, Queers, Atheists, Transsexuals, Punk Rockers, and the rest of us that are considered rejects on this island of misfit toys.

Anthony and I talk about manifesting, meditation, visualization, which is very triggering to me from my upbringing. He's benefited from the Landmark Forum, where others call it a cult. As I’ve healed, I’ve learned. Some of these tools are helpful to both of us — especially the mental discipline to stop the false stories that our ego-mind likes to create.

I posted a quote from Kobe Bryant this weekend as I heard about his & his daughter's tragic accident with seven others in a helicopter. I’m not a basketball fan and didn’t even know that Kobe was accused of rape in 2003. A couple of you were upset feeling I was “ok” with his being a “rapist.” I am most certainly NOT. So I talk here about my personal struggle with continuing to carry anger against my abusers.

"What has happened is tragic. I am heartbroken for Kobe’s family. He was a sports hero. He was also a rapist, and all of these truths can exist simultaneously."
- Evan Rachel Wood, actress.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, from his sermon, Antidotes for Fear, stated, “Normal fear protects us; abnormal fear paralyzes us. Normal fear motivates us to improve our individual and collective welfare; abnormal fear constantly poisons and distorts our inner lives. Our problem is not to be rid of fear but rather to harness and master it.” Let’s talk about that!

Thanks, Bryan, for sending us this article. It seems other articles might say that they are banning religious schools. But it seems to be the narrative coming from that part of the world. Should childhood religious indoctrination be regulated like alcohol? What do you think?

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

We grow up being told what is true and what isn’t. As we grow, we learn to find our way. When we really grow, we learn to smile at fear because the thing behind the fear is more growth.
