Dave and Mike review some of the psychological manipulations employed by the LDS church to indoctrinate its members.

In this episode, we talk about how emotion is a critical component of the Mormon belief system. Emotion trumps reason, science, and all other evidences that a member might come across in their life journey. But is emotion a reliable indicator of truth?

Mike and Dave go primitive for a moment and talk about some of the origins of religion, explore why humans seem to seek it, and relate it all to Mormonism and "what comes next" when you've left.

Ever wonder where religion came from to begin with? Where does it come from, and why do people seem to want it? Why do we need it?

For a church that believes in continuing revelation from God, does it seem like there really haven't been any (good/decent/big-deal) revelations lately?
