Cultic Conversations

What Do You Get when You Cross a Scapegoat, a Priest, and Dove with Immortality?

Whatever you get, it's not a particularly funny joke. Yet. (If you think of one, let me know!) Anyway, had some interesting thoughts about how Jesus relates to scapegoats, priests, and Noah's dove. Or the ark. Still working on that one.

S1 E1: USA, Ukraine, U-Russia

Hello, my fellow cultists! This episode kicks off a long series of conversations I plan to have with my buddy Kody on government. Sorry about how quiet it gets toward the end, we were trying to not wake up our other roommate. Here are a few questions we discussed to get the ball rolling:   * Do proxy wars work? * Do trade sanctions work? * Is Ukraine justified in its actions against Russia? * Is Russia justified in its actions against Ukraine? * Is the USA justified in getting involved? * Who should win?   Be part of the Conversation! Send your thoughts and questions, loving and hateful, in an e-mail to friesenj2@proton.me [friesenj2@proton.me] or in an Instagram message to @joefries314.
