Why We Hate Church Folk?

35 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 7 ratings

"Sophistiratchet, Christian, Agnostic, Wiccan, and Nerdy. In a world where there are already too many opinions, 2 old ass Millennials take a dip into the podcast world to share the reasons why they love people of all faiths but Why We Hate Church Folk. We ask a lot of questions and may even stumble upon an answer here and there. The point is to think through all the meta and hopefully get listeners to think, too. Structured in church service format, but we allow the Holy Spirit free reign to direct service as it sees fit. We love open dialogue and all are welcome. And we even accept mild disrespect. We will turn the other cheek as Jesus taught, but remember we only have two."
