This episode explores:
- issues with Christian doctrines of hell, sin, separation from God, etc., as well as with some of the abuse inherent in Christian culture and values.
- the wisdom in pulling on threads of doubt and trusting in a higher power (if there is one) to help us follow truth (if there is truth), even and especially when it leads us away from the versions of reality with which we've been indoctrinated by religion.
- celebrating the good things about experiences in Christianity and Christian community, and taking the good things along when we leave.
- experiential love, felt Oneness, and felt eternal safety outside of religious doctrines+conditions.
- the importance of self-trust and intuitive knowing.
- enjoying the awe and wonder in the mystery of existing.
- et cetera...
