Whilst I'd dived somewhat into the origins of the Christianity, this episode was immensely enjoyable in shedding light to rituals. Certainly hope to find more evidence and history. Anecdotally, one time I was tripping in a forest I spoke to jesus.. This just confirm my atheism however, as it was all iconography I'd been spoon fed growing up in Catholicism. It was a beautiful moment and certainly not my weirdest. And can understand why she'd still use language we're all familiar with to describe her trip.

No clue! He was willing to come on a Marxist program, so id love to believe he is at least left of center!

Any ideas about his political position? I saw him interviewed by Joe Rogan and was intending buying the book. Mega interesting episode (again).
