TW/CW: discussion about abuse, general

In this episode, Phil and Susie discuss that the idea that Xtianity is not a “religion, but a relationship” is flawed, but if believers want to maintain that it is a relationship, it’s certainly not a healthy one.  We will discuss the ways the “relationship” that God has with his followers has numerous similarities to a human abusive relationship.  This will hopefully be information to help you decide if the things you believe are harmful to your life or not.

We also highlight a really special "Good Human of the Week".  Kristen from the Kitten Sanctuary talks with us about all things kitten rescue and how she and her organization do all the work with no help from any deity.
