Tracking Wisdom

Season 1 Episode 5

Recorded - 03/21/22

In this episode of the Tracking Wisdom Podcast, hosts Ryan and Peter examine the concept of weaponized religion. They explore different perspectives, including the historical context of church-sanctioned violence like the Crusades and the more contemporary issue of individuals aggressively promoting their beliefs, often fueled by a desire to save others. The hosts discuss the perversion of religious teachings by leaders to serve personal agendas, manipulating fear intentionally. They also address the challenges of engaging in deep, intellectual discussions in a society dominated by quick, emotional interactions, particularly on social media. The conversation reflects on the complexity of understanding and combatting hateful and harmful interpretations of religious beliefs.
