Secularization of our society. Host where did that come from . How did it come about . Guest it came about, its origins really emanate from europe. After world war i, and even somewhat before but especially after world war i, europe decided that everything it believed in was nonsense because of the massacres of world war i. The atrocious loss of life for no apparently good reason. Thats a very important point. Everybody understands world war ii was morally necessary. Not be everybody believed wo...

People dont listen in the same day that something is produced, like a lot of other mediums. But what has thrived in its place is so heartening to me. Its context. Its explanation. Its narrative. And a lot of it has gotten us far past the sort binaries of who is winning the horse race today, whose got the cycle down.
