Misfit FaithVATICAN’T (Catholicism Without All the Uplifting Parts): Week 7 — The Absurdity of the CrossIn this episode of Misfit Faith a turn my attention to “atonement theory,” suggesting that perhaps some things are better left ambiguous. We hear a snippet of Peter Rollins discussing Christianity and the Absurd, after which I answer a listener’s question about whether crises of faith are normal. I end the show by demonstrating how racist we all are.2018-08-0631 min
Misfit FaithVATICAN’T (Catholicism Without All the Uplifting Parts) – Week 4: The Death of GodIn this episode of Misfit Faith we look to the cross in order to discover exactly what “embracing the void” looks like (turns out it’s a real bummer). We hear from Peter Rollins about the message that Christianity frees us from the expectation of personal fulfillment, and I take a call about what happens after we die. I end the show with a call to all bros to quit being such douchebags.2018-07-1825 min
Misfit FaithVATICAN’T (Catholicism Without All the Uplifting Parts) — Week Two: The Gospel According to SatanIn this episode of Misfit Faith I discuss the origins of the American Gospel which promises wholeness and wellbeing to those who jump through the right hoops (hint: its source has a forked tongue). We hear from Peter Rollins about the church as a satanic community, and then I answer a caller’s question about whether we should think of God as a magic genie in the sky. I end the show with an impassioned cry for shopping and buying local, but not for the reasons you might think.2018-07-0234 min
