Listen "It's not Black and White"
Episode Synopsis
Part and parcel of being raised in a monoculture is the gradually built hubris wherein the world is divided into two distinct antithetical halves. They are 'our way' and the 'wrong way.' It sets the stage for the curse of binary thinking, an almost complete inability to see shades of grey, including the inability to appreciate the vivid spectrum between white and black that gives the world its luster. To ensure 'our way' is the only way, a set of rules is codified to simultaneously encourage behaviors that make 'us' comfortable while oppressing any actions or thoughts not aligned with the desired norm. Nowhere is the set of must follow rules more rigid than in the three Abrahamic faiths even if it is only a sliver of the adherents that actually comply with the prescribed actions and inactions.
