In this episode, we use Matthew Garnier's book, "Swept Up: Lessons from the End Times" as a launchpad for discussing the impact of our childhood experiences with religion. We explore commonalities among those who grew up in religions that either emphasized the "End Times" doctrine or focused heavily on the Heaven-Hell afterlife dichotomy. Living purely on faith or solely on logic both have issues - what is the right path forward?
Overall, the episode highlights the complex and nuanced nature of religious upbringing and its lasting impact on individuals' beliefs and perspectives.
