Mike and Doug dive into the Ten Commandments, Moses’ wild ride through the desert, and how biblical stories can be read symbolically rather than literally. They explore the connections between Christianity and pagan traditions, the gods of their ancestors, and why it might be time to start a cult—one that actually empowers people instead of controlling them.
Topics Discussed:
- The story of Moses, the golden calf, and God's temper tantrums
- The Ten Commandments—what’s actually in them vs. how they’re used today
- The Book of Job as an archetypal journey of individuation
- How Christianity absorbed older pagan traditions (Easter? More like Ostara!)
- Reconnecting with ancestral spirituality and the old gods
- The idea of a modern, non-dogmatic spiritual "cult" rooted in autonomy and ritual
- The Mormons on Mushrooms underground newsletter and how to get involved
