Hello sirs,
It was really interesting and feisty argument. Both of your summations at the end were on the spot. And that is the real question will we change meaning of religion, or we are going to make something new, like an idea of Syntheism, that was mentioned. Maybe you should also talk about “parody religions” or “mock religions”, because sometimes it is hard do decide where is the line between sincere and satire.
Have a good time, and keep up with a good work!
Dusan – We will definitely explore religion once more in all its forms in a future episode. Thank you for your kind words, and for listening. Highest Cheers.
