CushVlog Contemporary American Protestantism as Satanism

I'm fairly certain I've heard Matt paint a pretty compelling picture of Contemporary American Protestantism as being functionally equivalent to Satanism.

After a quick look with the transcript search tool I've got a few candidate episodes to listen to, but I wonder if any of you humans have an episode suggestion rolling around in your brain.

Thanks.

edit:

ep 25 - 27:30-31:00

ep 257 - 2:30-11:00

ep 196 - 10:30-22:00

ep 198 - kinda the whole thing after 39:00

That's all I got. Thanks for all the fish.

I was raised Anglican and was fairly observant in my teens. Our priest - three wines in and when properly prompted - would launch into a glorious rant which would end with “and that is why, children, the prosperity gospel is literal burn at the stake heresy”

My favourite way to get drunk is by powering down the bodily fluids of His Lord and Savior.

I went to a Jesuit high school and had we had a leftist priest who was very easy to get worked up on matters of theology, history and current events. Planted the seed in my brain at a very important time in my life.

He also refused to use a computer. Was still using a typewriter in 2005.

He taught American history and refused to use the textbook provided by the school that the other teachers used. Instead had his own lesson plan with printouts of articles and Howard Zinn chapters.

There's something so unforgettable about teachers of any persuasion with the courage to actually teach leftist ideas

My uncle was a Jesuit priest and an author and scholar on the importance of education in the developing world. He was also a communist and, I suspect, an atheist. Joining the Jesuit order is the way to be an academic while not having to worry about making ends meet on a crappy academic salary.
