Listen "Free Will or Divine Hoax?"
Episode Synopsis
I was indoctrinated into the Catholic religion long before I had the maturity to make an informed decision, a conscious, rational decision as to whether or not Catholicism aligned with the unique rendering of my soul. It started when I was a few weeks old, placing me permanently on the double secret catholic rolls never to be expunged. The overt persuasion continued through my vulnerable years with parochial schooling and being frog-marched to weekly mass well into my teens before I found a way to sneak off to the arcade in lieu of my weekly obligation. Ironically, the faith is predicated on the concept of free will, but my malleable mind was not given a choice to opt out of the lengthy brainwashing. Thankfully, I developed a fortitude to fight the good fight and think freely...despite the mother voice nagging at the base of my skull.
