@katiecouric: @jenniferwelch of the @ivehaditpodcast grew up as a "blue dot in a red state" and now in her new book, she's making parallels between her Bible Belt roots and blind loyalty to the MAGA movement. I interviewed Jennifer this week on my own pod, Next Question. You can watch our full conversation on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts!
One of the many times I am proud to have ADHD as I am impossible to indoctrinate. Shes so right.

This is why separation of church and state are so important! It starts at home, when we are young. It’s SO scary.

2020 I began my faith deconstruction from my church. After attending for 20 yrs I left. I have not been back. I have become dis-indoctrinated and on this side of things I cannot believe how I just trusted in blind faith. People can be good, kind and generous without having to go to a building and outwardly try to prove who has the most faith.

If you ask questions, you will have to leave religion to get the answers.

I grew up in Oklahoma and expected her book to be relatable, but she gave me such a deeper understanding. And the language to explain it to others

Religion was created specifically for this purpose. Control. The parallels exist because the two things are really the same thing. Government and religion require and demand the same things of constituents/parishioners. Obedience, blind faith, absolute loyalty, money.

born with a disability and was told it was God's plan but also told God could heal the sick and make lame people walk. i would pray he would heal me and was told God would reveal his plan for me. the contradictions made my head spin

If you don’t have blind faith in the Church you’re called a doubting Thomas.
