Episode 12 - Religion Oddities Part 1: The Stain of Evil

We are obsessed with death and dying. But we also fear it. We are trying to find ways to get out of it, ways to alter science and live longer, to be brought back, ways to defy the great gift of life we were given. It is a radiant addiction that humans have, and the only thing that humans seem to be more obsessed with is death, which is to figure out what comes next. What happens after death despite what religion you are or what you believe in or don’t believe in is a common thought to wonder what happens after you die. Is it the only pearly gates or a fiery inferno? Or do we simply not exist? What of Nirvana, or Heaven? The idea of an afterlife makes the idea of death more bearable, for when we die and for when our loved ones do. The notion that they are in a better place, and that we might see them again makes the fact that they are dead a little more bearable. But regardless of the way that we go or what afterlife that we believe in, if any, most religions have a common theme that our life will come to an end as we know it in some kind of cataclysmic armageddon that will lead to the coming of evil. And in the Christian Faith, that evil is known as The Anti-Christ. But, in order to figure out who this antichrist is and when they will be coming to start the beginning of the end we first have to understand the Devil and the religion in which he originates. But the Devil is a trickster and is waiting to pounce on the opportunity to fool us all, so we will have to go back to the beginning. The beginning of Christianity and retrace the steps of this fallen angel to figure out what kind of grip he has on our world today, and perhaps deceive the great deceiver himself.
