well said!
Why is the televangelist asking me for 20 when he's wearing 10,000 on his wrist?
In the year 2025, if man is still alive. If woman can survive, they may fiiiiind.
Great article, thanks! Check spelling of "horrendous", though. Love from Sweden
Seth, great set of comments on 14-15 century slavery and beginnings in this 1/2 of the globe. It would be interesting to actually investigate the slave trade of what was Poland, Ukraine, the Balkans prior to even the 1400. I was always under the impression that Slavic tribes were the slaves of the Roman and early Ottoman empires...a thought to ponder about the 20th and now 21st century conflicts and former Soviet rule, the quest of the 3rd Reich...and now the Putin discussion. books on history..
The way Seth told that nativity story was creepy AF and I loved every second of it.
please listen to Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series, 5 books, the middle book,"When I Shall Wear Black" has the cheese rolling contest I the book ... old English lore. Epsom salts in bath help heal abrasions cuts, sores etc ... your concerns on those lovely hot bath salts!!!!
If the religious can't convert you they always resort to violence.
this is something that absolutely makes me cringe too. my grandmother was the first person in my life who brought up atheism. she wasn't a Christian, but she was portrayed as one when she died. looking back, it truly angers me.
So Bowen is married to Megan Lewis, who hosts the show"Misquoting Jesus with Bart Ehrman"! (recommended)
Seth, you gotta listen to the Timesuck Podcast. true crime, real events and even cameos from Stryper on occasion. there's another podcast by the same person called Scared to Death. I think you would love both of them.
Seth always talking about Christian fear mongering, but that's what he's been doing for the last ten episodes. Come on Seth, you're better than this.
as an Iranian (who lives in Iran) I doubt that you chose the right person to talk about this subject.
I'd love to see a Samson & Delilah video game with an M rating. Killing big groups of philistines, tearing open the lion and bringing down the temle.
0:18 I've always wondered about the lady talking about telling the truth. Who is she and where is that clip from?
no one "has" to have children.
Psychedelics...I figured as much 😆
How about a fun or silly episode? You're becoming depressing.
you just moved me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌱
similarity story with my family too ☺️ ;)
