Here we imagined a world where a religious takeover has been fully actualized - christian politics, christian music, christian movies, and everyone speaking "christianese."We discussed evangelization, social justice and the absurdity and/or the inevitability of a takeover.

On this episode we attempted to look at the role of holding on to resources, greed, as a possible cause of suffering around the world.Breathing in was seen as metaphor for receiving the generosity of God in creating us in the world. While breathing out is man's mandate to give back to God what has always been God's. We suffocate, strangling ourselves to death when we live our lives breathing in (receiving from life), without breathing out (giving back what we received).
