    Ex-Satanist, Witch and Psychic Embroiled in Darkness Abandons It All After Jesus Appears to Him: ‘I Was in Shock’

    Battling Demonic Evil: Pastor Sounds Off on Possession, Oppression, and Generational Curses

    Faithwire by Billy Hallowell on October 31, 2024

    This episode of The Non-Prophets dives into possession, deliverance, and the exploitation of fear by religious organizations. It opens with a critique of how demons supposedly target only believers, highlighting the absurdity that atheists seem immune to such phenomena. The panel discusses articles linking possession to genetic and environmental factors, dismissing these claims as unfounded and asserting that indoctrination, not genetics, perpetuates belief in possession.

    One story profiles Ryan Swiglar, a former Satanic Church co-founder turned Christian. While his tale mirrors common "conversion" narratives, the panel questions its authenticity, noting its alignment with evangelical storytelling tropes.

    The hosts argue that cyclical indoctrination secures the church's influence across generations, using guilt and fear to sustain membership. They liken "deliverance" services to multi-level marketing schemes, exploiting congregants for profit. Critiques extend to generational curses, exposing their role in trapping believers in cycles of shame, fear, and financial exploitation.

    The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.46.3 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Eli Slack and Jimmy Jr.

    How Archaeologists hunting Noah's Ark made discovery at boat-shaped mound

    Scientists unlock secrets of 3,000-year-old tablet revealing path to Noah's Ark
    The Jerusalem Post by Jerusalem Post Staff on OCTOBER 30, 2024

    This conversation delves into two significant claims linked to archaeological discoveries. First, the Durupinar site in Turkey, promoted by Andrew Jones of the Doubting Thomas Research Foundation, is alleged to house Noah's Ark. However, substantial criticism arises due to Jones's lack of academic credentials and the natural geological formation of the site.

    The second claim revolves around the Imago Mundi, a Babylonian map suggesting a flood narrative linked to older myths like Ziusudra. Experts argue that these stories reflect evolving cultural myths rather than historical events. Scientific evidence, like marine fossils in high altitudes or ancient geographical changes, contradicts the notion of a global flood and supports natural explanations for these findings. This underscores the importance of separating myth from evidence-based science.

  • Conservative Christians Confront LGBTQ Realities

    Conservative Christians Confront LGBTQ Realities
    Nov 21 2024
    After their son came out, this conservative Christian couple went into a closet of their own

    CNN, By John Blake, on November 3, 2024

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/03/us/conservative-christian-coming-out-gay-cec/index.html

    The panelists delved into the McDonald family's journey, reflecting on the tensions within conservative Christian communities when grappling with LGBTQ+ acceptance. Initially, Greg Jr.’s parents reacted with a desire to "fix" him, resorting to harmful measures like conversion therapy. This led to emotional turmoil for Greg Jr. and strained family dynamics. Jimmy noted the profound psychological damage such practices inflict, emphasizing the dehumanizing comparison of being gay to acts like murder.

    Eli highlighted how the McDonalds, influenced by external voices such as David Gushee's progressive theological views, shifted to a more accepting, albeit imperfect, stance. However, he critiqued their transformation for framing Greg Jr.'s sexuality as a flaw to be tolerated rather than normalized.

    Panelists also examined how religious doctrines perpetuate harmful biases, often targeting women, and explored the broader societal harms stemming from rigid evangelical beliefs. Despite the family’s eventual reconciliation, the discussion underscored the enduring harm inflicted by religiously motivated rejection.
