Ichapod

Our every-other-Sunday service continues as we look the Apostle Paul square in the stylus and question the very logic of his indoctrination. This series is picking up. Don't miss it. 

We discuss Peter Enns' book "The Sin of Certainty" tries to relieve bible-believers of the pressure of actually knowing what they believe. This is a last-ditch effort for Christians who realize that they can no longer trust the bible to deliver truth. But can faith without facts really satisfy one who seeks understanding and authenticity? 

In our first bi-monthly Not-Church service, we dive into the book of Romans chapter 1 with a skeptical scalpel to dissect the theology of the Apostle Paul from the very beginning of this influential Christian text. 

In this 'Life After Faith' episode, former Christian Jamal Luke comes out of the closet concerning his unbelief. He talks about his road to, and then, his journey away from worshipping Jesus and the god of the Bible. I'm sure you will be able to relate to heart-felt deconversion story. 

How does Christianity teach people to deal with unpleasant emotions and unhealthy mindsets? If it does this by introducing even more harmful ideas into the equation, then it cannot be good for our mental health. Well, it isn't. Many have been traumatized by "god" and they don't even know it. On this Very Important episode, we dive DEEP into [our own] religious trauma.

On today's episode, I invited former guests Darante LaMar and Christimus Prime back to the show to respond to a YouTube video where several popular Christian teachers admit that the Hebrew Bible (aka the Old Testament) depicts the existence of a multitude of gods with the Most High god as their head. Despite this, these deities get demoted and/or demonized in the theological framework of most Christians. At ichapod!, we don't believe any of these gods exist, including the "Most High"; but it is fascinating to see the development of these biblical characters and how they are treated or ignored by various Christians today. We discuss.
