"What the hell is wrong with this man?"

A religious delusion is defined as a delusion, or fixed belief not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence, involving religious themes or subject matter. Religious faith, meanwhile, is defined as a belief in a religious doctrine or higher power in the absence of evidence.

Although many researchers have brought evidence for a positive role that religion plays in health, others have shown that religious practices and experiences may be linked to mental illnesses of various kinds (mood disorders, personality disorders, psychiatric disorders). In 2011, a team of psychiatrists, behavioral psychologists, neurologists and neuropsychiatrists from the Harvard Medical School published research that suggested the development of a new diagnostic category of psychiatric disorders related to religious delusion and hyper-religiosity.

"Decking the Halls" With God's Greatest COG Leader In The History of Humanity

 

This podcast episode discusses Bob Thiel's article challenging the traditional image of St. Nicholas. Thiel, an Armstrongist minister, argues that the popular Santa Claus figure significantly differs from the historical St. Nicholas, whom he portrays as a flawed and possibly unsaintly individual. His arguments draw on historical accounts and interpretations of scripture, contrasting with both common perceptions and mainstream Christian theology, especially regarding the Trinity and the veneration of saints. The podcast hosts challenge Thiel's research while emphasizing the need for critical analysis of his perspective, given his unique theological viewpoint and potentially biased source selection. Ultimately, the discussion prompts reflection on the evolution of Christian traditions and the importance of nuanced historical interpretation. Ai-COG

Jon Brisby Gets Investigated Over His Requirements For Baptism

 

This podcast episode examines the conflicting views on baptism within the "Church of God the Eternal", a group stemming from Herbert W. Armstrong's teachings. John W. Brisby, a minister in a splinter group, establishes three rigid criteria for valid baptism, emphasizing lineage to Armstrong and adherence to specific doctrines. However, Brisby's criteria contradict Armstrong's own baptism, leading to a discussion of religious authority and the problematic nature of establishing exclusive truth claims. 

The podcast encourages critical thinking about religious legitimacy and the importance of independent spiritual exploration.
