I don't mean about an opinion, or at least not a specific one. I mean that it has changed how I see the world, how I see politics, and boosted my Rhetoric. It has given me insight, language and vocabulary I did not have before. The concept of having stray thoughts and internalizing them and how that affects how you think is a powerful idea. I am better able to see when people are compromised and how.

Being called out on my armchair communism has allowed me to see what I'm doing in my day-to-day. By that same token, seeing fascism reduced to jokes about hating women...it really doesn't seem like a joke the more I look at real life examples. Strip away the bullshit and it really does seem like that is the heart of it.

And then of course, there's this subreddit. I love the memes and the community. You are all some thought provoking people yourselves and I thank you for helping develop my personal growth.

I host a book club podcast. We started off talking about various world mythologies, starting with classical myths and then transitioning to eastern myths. We intended to transition again to myths from another corner of the world and another and another and to keep going until we capped it off with Abrahamic myths.

Instead, my co-host got busy making babies (number 3 was born last month), and he didn't have enough time for it. So I've had other people on to talk about a huge variety of books, mostly fiction. But I keep coming back to this idea of covering Abrahamic myths.

I've suggested it to a few people, but it just gets dismissed. "You want to read the Bible for book club? That's just Bible study, nobody wants to do that."

But is that true? There must be non-religious people who would be interested in reading the Bible with other secular people. Not to seek the truth in God or anything, just to read the stories and talk about them like any other mythological book.

What do y'all think? If you were to host a podcast like that, how would you approach it? What would you call it?
