GREED: Is There an Upside??
Have you ever wondered why the conservative nonaffirming rules-based church is so upside-down? They focus downline, shaming and threatening regular people who are just trying to live.
Meanwhile, these leaders are hiding rampant child sexual abuse and promoting teachings that are racist, misogynistic, queerphobic, especially transphobic.
We’ve been talking about how the teachings of religion are Teachings of Contempt, at every level.
In this episode, we continue our deconstruction of the "7 deadly sins” – today, it’s GREED!
What is it all about, and is there an upside?
