CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of suicidal ideation, family deathA bit of a different episode today...Meg and Vika talk through how they journeyed into the Church TM and then out of it. There is lots of cringe at our high school selves, along with more serious topics like grief, mental health and how the church treats women. Thank you for coming along with us for the first season, we've absolutely loved doing this, and can't wait for Season 2!Take Up Your Cross and Follow Us:Instagram: @ImpureRethoughtTwitter: @ImpureRethoughtVictoria: @village_witch on Twitter and InstagramMeg: @megplant_parm on Twitter and Instagram

In the second part of our (not that) deep dive on Communism, we talk about who is possibly the Antichrist again, how the Red Scare affected Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whether colonialism or communism is Worse, why the French Revolution was bad, actually, and how to cleverly edit the Bible so it supports made up statistics.
