Genetically Modified Skeptic: Religion & Belief

Those like Jordan Peterson think atheism is a religion. Although, that may not mean what you think it does. Is atheism a religion? What about anti-theism? Using the colloquial definition, this is what it would be like if atheists actually acted religious.

Dr. Justin Sledge of the channel Esoterica joins me to talk about how Jewish Chariot Mysticism may have influenced the Apostle Paul’s view of salvation, the glorification of the body, and Jesus’ relation to God. Hekhalot and Merkavah literature and the books of Enoch play a major role here.

How Quacks Sell Supplements as Medicine (Without Breaking the Law)

Uploaded 12-09-17

Quacks and scam artists sell dietary supplements as medicine all the time. They’ve just figured out ways to do it legally. Eric Hovind was recently busted by the FDA and issued a warning letter for selling B17 supplements as a cancer cure, and that inspired me to dig deeper into this issue.

Skepticism is our only defense against scammers who would have us risk our lives over fake cures that make them money. Thunderf00t broke Eric’s story, Aron Ra told me about it, Paulogia and I researched it further, and I’m using his blunder to illustrate how the hucksters of alternative medicine market their bunk.
