On the 9th episode of the Up Your Dialogue podcast we explore the issue of Cults. As we do so we also get into Religion and how governments have interacted with both through various times in history. We start off as normal talking about current events which happen to be the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as well as the retreat from Syria. Just after the 20 minute mark we begin to talk about cults in general by giving a definition and some categories then J.Scott begins with the Agnostic view. Just after the 44.30 mark we discuss specific cults from an infamous list that J.Scott brings to the table. Of that list we move into more general Christian and non-Christian cults that some consider Religions such as Mormonism by the 1 hour mark.By the 1 hour and 20 minute mark we are talking about the spiritual fate or Mitt Romney and the rest of the time we go into history and talk about Christianity from it’s early days as a “Superstition” as stated by Pliney the Younger to Constantine and all the way to the founding fathers. We hope you enjoy the podcast.
