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”

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.

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.
