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.
