Speaking from first hand knowledge of their lives, both the hosts and Jonathan exchange their perspectives of being members of the armed forces. Also, Jon and our hosts bring up the issues of being able to relay certain experiences to civilians who (and fairly so) cannot understand. There are atheists in foxholes everyone! Just Kidding!Ashley from Canada recalls having a near-death experience due to a miscarriage incident where she says she did not see or hear anything that believers do. Also, she talks to Ben about the medical aftermath of this miscarriage along the lines of how believing some woo-woo weird things could have caused her to delay treatment. Beliefs no matter how benign, can lead to poor decision making and possibly lead to greater damage.Let's say hello to Marcus in Texas who inquires the question; Have our hoists considered changing their religion in extreme circumstances. The hosts recall personal experiences and their perspectives of their own communities, in the military and out.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/talk-heathen--3195702/support.
