Just a quick promo for a new blog post about doubt infused with horror on dantestack.com

Reeling from the last episode on the book of Judges, Dante examines what it is that holds him to Christianity.

The Old Testament book of Judges chronicles a series of very unfortunate events. Why is this panoply of miserable stories in the Bible? Dante tries to reconcile himself with the book by examining the genre of it, and thus, our lens of interpretation.

A young ruler came up to Jesus calling him a "good teacher". Jesus responded by saying no one is good but God... so why do you deep down think you're a pretty good person?

How far can we go in applying interpretations of Jesus' parables to modern events and situations? Dante throws out three examples... you decide if they fall flat or not.

Is their forgiveness for the Judas among us? If you are tortured and buckle under the pain, recanting everything you believe in, will God let you past heaven's gates?

Is it possible to fully believe two contradictory beliefs? Dante will test your might and try to convince you of two completely opposite positions to the old idea that the only unforgiveable sin is to blaspheme the Spirit by renouncing your faith. Bam! Come get it!!!

What if there are rules that God has chosen to follow and enforce that we don't exactly know about? Dante wrestles with blasphemous thoughts as he serenades himself with clapping for tinkerbell to help make sense out of three persnickety Biblical passages.

Still scratching his head over the bizarre 2 Kings chapter 3 passage, Dante takes 10 different approaches in order to figure out how demons interact with humanity. Warning: this episode is like a Jackson Pollock of podcasts.

Do the gods of the nations surrounding Israel have any power? Are they merely wooden and stone idols, or is there something else behind them? The answer isn't as apparent as it may seem.
