We are right in the thick of election season, and if you think this is a spectator sport like fantasy football, you are sorely mistaken. As much as religion should have no place in politics, we find ourselves mired in a hypothetical spiritual war of ideologies and Christian bullshit sold as ideologies. If you thought this season was just about voting, you were wrong.

The followers of Jesus must stand up for the forgotten and give voice to the voiceless. And there is no better time than now to do that with your vote.

In an age in which Conservative Christianity represents oppression, misogyny, and bigotry, we must vote the opposite.

When the faithful applaud squashing the environment or taking away the rights of others, we must act out.

When Jesus compels his followers to love their neighbors, even if their neighbors are their enemies, this is a radical call for love, compassion, and resistance to the prevailing winds of the time.

The future of the Earth and humanity calls us to be faithful people that act and live with an immediacy towards the hurting world and oppressive powers that continue to exude dehumanizing legislation and self-serving laws that benefit the few and rape the Earth and its people of dignity. So make sure to vote!

In our show today, we'll talk with author and activist Doug Pagitt About his continuing work with Vote Common Good. Vote Common Good is inspiring, energizing, and mobilizing people of faith to make the common good their voting criteria and to pursue faith, hope, & love for a change on election day 2020 and prevent the re-election of Donald Trump.

We'll also reflect on the Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court and her cult People of Praise. "Blessed be the fruit." So before you go out and buy your Handmaid's Tale cloak and bonnet, listen to this talk about the worries of cults and consequences of elections.

In these dark times, there is hope, but that hope relies on your ass getting off the couch and making a difference.

Let's not let apathy put more innocent people in cages. The future is yours to change if you want to change it.
