Garden of Thought E.379 Caprica
When you're trying to do a show on a show that almost no one watched, and no one wants to watch it now, you find out who your friends are. Several tried. But despite my assurances, no one made it past episode 3. Until my favorite faux daughter, Cee The Superior said yes. And she got her fiance involved too. Bonus, he already loves Battlestar Galactica! He probably loves her too, but we don't care about that. Anyway, they watched it and picked up the threads I was picking up too. Plus, at least one I missed entirely!Listen...
Garden of Thought E.378 Into the Desert
Elgin and Larissa cohost the "Into the Desert" podcast on YouTube which seeks to inspire honest discussion without derision and name calling. Obviously, with your flawed host here, the only way to accomplish that was to have them take over the show. I mean almost. Kind of. Sorta. But I mostly followed their lead and we discussed political issues, questions of theology, and all sorts of things without anyone insuitling anyone. But I may have caught one of them doing a shot. I'm not saying which one and I'm probably lying. But I'm being truthful when I...
Garden of Thought E.377 Prophecy of Daniel and Beasts
Laiva Shor from Sweet and Good Torah joins us again to continue our Yeshiva exploartion into prophets. The interesting ones. To me anyway.Daniel is up. What's the deal with being in a den full of lions? Was that part of the prophecy? If not, what was the prophecy? How are some circles interpreting it? Is it coming true now? What in the ten horns am I reading? Oh yeah, there are indeed 10 horns. Not those 10 horns. Or maybe they are.

Garden of Thought E.374 Sky Creator
We welcome in Damien Marie Athope, a one time student pursuing a career in Christian Counseling turned independent researcher. Damien's research led to a thirst for knowledge in the religions of many peoples and regions. Those studies included archeology and linguistics. As a result, Athope was able to present a survey of African religions and noticed they had some notable similarities to other old world religions. Primarily in the form of a sky creator that may or may not be gendered and is benevolent but removed from us humans. Perhaps this is the root religion. Perhaps it started s...
Garden of Thought E.373 Crete, Minoans and Atlantis
Bernie Taylor is back. Our guide around the Meditterean took me up on talking about Crete, We still haven't deciphered it's writings, but it's influence outsizes the island's size. From the legend of Atlantis to the Minoans and myths such as the Minotaur, on to any Phoenician connections, Crete looms large.Listen in and let's see if we can't separate some facts from fiction, and maybe leave some things in the gray.

Garden of Thought E.371 Long Term Care
Matt McCann is a lomg term care specialist with a simple but unpleasant lesson for us all. We all need to plan for needing some level of assistance in living as we get older. And there's not really anyone equipped to help you except you.You might wonder why we're discussing this topic on this show. It's a little outside even our generous strike zone. But there are two reasons: 1. It is something that is a universal need. Probably not limited to the USA. 2. It's a significant piece of the the health care issue. which are caches of...
Garden of Thought E.370 The Devil's Name
The Devil was not into this recording. It cut off my recording 4 times, but I feared no evil as a bravely recorded through the shadow of death. My returning guest, Southern Demonology's JJ Johnson explained why my prior sentence was a mistranslation. That is both a teaser and theme.Like you, I am aware of many names that might mean The Devil. I go through as many as I can poorly pronounce and we stumble into a few more. Could it be...Satan? Nope.How about Lucider or Azazel or Beelzabub or Set. Why is Zoroastrianism...
