EP3: Lutheranism–Tuhina Rasche

Samantha Ferland, who first appeared in EP5, is welcomed back on the Religious Podcast to discuss her interest and thoughts on satanism. We are not experts on this topic nor active participants in the religion, but this conversation seeks to uncover some of the core beliefs and values of satanism rather than fear the uncomfortable stigma that commonly surrounds it.

I met Samantha at an internship position my junior year of college. We quickly developed a friendship and surprisingly had multiple, natural conversations on worldviews and religions, even though our personal beliefs differed significantly majority of the time.  Join us in this casual conversation on religion as we discuss morality and how, in many cases like Samantha’s, people struggle to categorize their belief system under one religion.
