In Philadelphia, born and raised, people were upset that other people had different beliefs. In this episode we discuss the Bible Riots, or the Nativist Riots, or the Native American Riots of 1844. A mistrust of Catholic immigrants led many protestants to think they were trying to take bibles out of school, so what else would you do but riot?

We look at how fear and mistrust of people who come from different backgrounds can cause you to do some dumb stuff. We discuss how we really haven’t changed a lot.

As always we are not experts, we just google this stuff.

In this episode we discuss the quiverfull movement. You know, those people with all the kids. We discuss the origins, how it spread through the internet, and of course how the Duggar’s made us all aware of it. We discuss their slim view of gender roles, their strict rules for sexuality and dating, and of course their love of homeschooling.

We also discuss Josh Duggar and Bill Gothard’s abuse, the retreat where they tried to marry off their kids.

We get satanic in this episode… satanic panic that is. We discuss the people who thought satan was coming for you and your kids in the 80s and 90s. We discuss how they looked for satanic messages in movies, cartoons, and music, and how they thought there were evil rituals being held around every corner. We talk about how fear and mass hysteria can ruin lives and make people do crazy things.

We also discuss the strange trio of police, psychiatrists, and evangelical christians working together for a common wrong headed goal.

Oh and we backmask a Stryper song.

This episode is hell. We discuss the theology of hell, where it came from, what the bible says about it, and how it evolved over time. From Sheol to Dante, we dive deep into what the hell it’s all about.

We also discuss how fear is used to keep people in the faith and why that fear shouldn’t control you anymore.
