Holy Heathens!

Halloween is coming up, so we want to take a look at ghosts showing up in different religions. Why are ghost stories so ubiquitous in modern cultures? Where do these stories originate? Why do so many people believe in ghosts? Let’s gear up for Halloween and take a peek at what different religions have to say, what ghost stories they have, and people’s personal stories of ghost encounters.

When it comes to the afterlife, we don’t know much. Many people and belief systems claim to have the answers, but since we can’t actually go there and see what’s what, we can’t confidently make explicit claims. However, people who have had near-death experiences often do make the claim to have been to the afterlife and back. So what are near-death experiences? Should they be taken seriously? Can people really visit the afterlife and return to tell the tale? That’s what we’ll talk about in this episode!

The idea of an afterlife is found throughout history and many cultures. Over time, it has spread and developed. Specifically focusing on the Bible, we’ll look into what the Bible really has to say about the afterlife and how those ideas have morphed over time. Most people are just familiar with the concepts of heaven and hell, but there is so much more to be found in the Bible. Take a listen and we’ll discuss these differing destinations.

Astrology and the Zodiac go way back. I’m talking way, way back. They’ve been around for a long time and can be seen throughout history. We’re going to focus specifically on if these ideas are found in the Bible and where we can find them. How were they perceived in the past and how should we perceive them now?

In this episode, we discuss different mythical creatures that are found throughout various religions. Over the years, there have been many claims of sightings of various beasts and demons, but are they real? Oftentimes they were used to explain mysterious phenomena or anything that wasn’t understood. Please exercise caution as we face down these ferocious beasties!

This time, we delve into various flood stories from around the world. Join us in this story-telling episode where we have some fun looking at the plethora of stories, and discuss many of the similarities, as well as the differences.

In this episode, we take a look at the historical accuracy of the biblical flood account. Did Noah’s flood happen the way that the Bible said it happened? Is there even evidence of a large flood occurring near that time in history?

We’ll delve into some popular theories and beliefs surrounding these claims, as well as some scientific findings that mark possible evidence of large-scale flooding. Additionally, we’ll look at the fossil records and how Creationists claim it demonstrates a large catastrophe and not evolution. Join us as we further explore this topic!

In this episode, we look at whether or not the Biblical account of Noah’s flood should be taken literally or figuratively. We delve into how contemporary Christians view the flood account as well as how earlier Christians viewed it, such as Origen, St Augustine, and Fortunatianus Aquileiensis. We also take a look into a few other ancient texts and tales to get a feel for how similar accounts were regarded.
