Is this real? Am I real? Listen in to this episode of Two Dead Pines to have the foundations of reality shattered.

Hello! This is the first podcast of Two Dead Pines and I won´t lie it is a little rough around the edges. You will be listening to two 18 year olds discuss the history of organized religion (specifically the Catholic Church), the role it plays in our world today, and whether it is time for humans to move on.  Relying heavily on their personal experience with religion and connections with others, they will also converse of the nature of spirituality, and how parallels can be drawn between this and science. Consciousness and psychedelics make an appearance as well.
