My random half-baked thoughts about some philosophical topics like 'Qualia' and "the Explanation Gap" and how a sleep-deprived mind connects them to spirituality and religion.

Episode 19: Colors

Just a few thoughts on the catholic baptismal rites controversy in Arizona with Father Andres Arango, how the issue places process over people, and how many if not most church organizations make similar self-centered and self-preservatory choices.

Ep. 20 - Baptismal Rites- process over people

In this episode that You Are Not Listening To, I share some thoughts I have about an article published in the Adventist Review titled “Headship Matters – What the Bible Does and Doesn’t Say About Male Headship.” By Laurel Damsteegt.

The article presents itself as attempting to address abuses perpetrated by supposed “godly” leaders or husbands, by providing a better interpretation of Scripture as it relates to marriage and church leaders. However, as you’ll hear, it only helps to prop up the poor interpretations that lead to these abuses by informing women of their subordinate position in the eyes of something the author keeps calling God. 

I find the article and the mind frame behind it to be abhorrent. It is not treatment, it is the disease. 

**Trigger warning: rape, marital rape, and sexual abuse are referenced in the article and are addressed in the Podcast. Not in any detail nor for very long, but if those topics are uncomfortable for you, maybe skip this one.**

The Middle Age Podcast - Ep. 4 - Where We've Been

This is the sign-off. I appreciate everyone that has listened to this podcast. It has been produced through much pain and anguish of trying to say what I felt and not offend or upset while still being honest. But it has not become the open space I needed it to be for a number of reasons, many self inflicted. As such, it is not serving the purpose I desire from it. Maybe I'll come back in some other form, but who knows.
