In today’s episode of the Truth Wanted, ObjectivelyDan and Infidel64 discover an ancient Chinese Dragon after studying history that did not quite lead to their belief in Catholicism, but did remind us of how our policies are still based on ancient mythology.

Saphri’ell in NY informs us about a 240 million year old Chinese Water Dragon that seems to have been right out of mythology. Without a doubt it would be cool if we found something like this alive, however, let’s not forget what happens with people’s imagination and how stories can change from something being a large lizard to a dragon flying around breathing fire. What other kinds of dragons do you believe have existed?

Greg in PA studied Western history and explains how logical thinking led him to his belief in god. How did studying the French Revolution get you to your beliefs? What convinced you and what are the particulars that brought you to where you are today? Can you apply this same kind of thinking to another religion? If there were a more accurate description of the world that came from another religion, would that raise your confidence level of that other religion? Greg asks the hosts about their belief in evolution. Evolution is survival of the being that can exist the best in the environment, not just the strongest, bad ass around. If we could demonstrate that animals are compassionate to each other, how would that change your belief in evolution? Just because humans understand compassion in a certain way does not mean other animals do not have it at all. There is no goal or purpose or goal to evolution; it is just a description of how things happened.

Tim in WA describes the recent attack on Nex Benedict who was harassed and killed because of their identity and how sad it is that we are making policies based on mythology. If your church is not talking about how to help the LGBTQ community, what good is your church? This is what we are talking about when we say that religion is driven by hate. As long as people are willing to excuse the inexcusable, we are going to keep seeing this. It is completely unacceptable that people are afraid to move, or must move because their child might be in danger. How many churches actually ask what they can do to help the LGBTQ community? We are hopeful that things can change and must keep fighting.

Thank you for tuning in this week! If you hear someone digging in the middle of the night, they are probably just looking for a Chinese Dragon. Nothing to see here. Question of the week is: What is normal during the day, but is terrifying in the middle of the night?
