Thanks, Gentlemen. So much of what you shared resonates with me. I began to drift from my strict Catholic upbringing very early. I simply could not accept the idea of limbo -- a place where unbaptized babies were kept from Heaven through no fault of their own. I knew on a very deep level (in first grade!) that this was untrue; a loving God would never permit this. Now at the age of 61, I must reject all systems of religion that ascribe human limitations to God's love. God is not created in our image -- we are created in the image of God. Any attempt to limit God to fit our human egoic ideas is simply a false path. I will read the book. I definitely feel ready to consider these topics. Thanks for a great discussion.

This was an awesome conversation! I have been struggling to understand how to talk to my Christian friends about our planetary situation and this conversation (and Brian's book) offers so many helpful suggestions. Thank you for this pod cast!

I thought about reading this book, but I will have to pass. Their discussion about Chapter 2 signaled a warning in me that said to stay away as I have enough deep concerns right now about the state of the world. Equipping my psyche with more factual evidence of impending doom is not a task I can take on right now. Life as an Enneagram 2 is never easy…

Sorry my friend, but good job listening to your inner voice. No need to read it if it’s going to trigger you in any way. Thanks for sharing, much love to you.
