Doubting Dogma

Welcome to the Doubting Dogma podcast, the accompanying show to the Doubting Dogma blog, where we pair Molly Un-Mormon, a former Mormon now "doubting her dogma" (see what we did there?), and the corrupting hussy that told her about CogDiss, Marissa Alexa McCool. Together, they'll try to work out what's going on in the world while also having fun at the story's expense.  This week, Molly and Ris chat with Tank, an Ex-Mo that reached out to Molly after hearing her on Naked Mormonism. They talk about being raised in the church and the cognitive dissonance involved with compartmentalizing everything. They also talk about the temple rituals and how learning the details was the straw that broke Tank's belief.

For the second half of the show, they go through chapter two of The Miracle of Forgiveness and discover that according to Kimball, we're all God's Gimp. Matthew gives us a Bible MadLib to close out the show.

Keeping with the theme, Bryce shares with us the story of the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies and the horrors they faced while crossing the plains after a series of bad logistical decisions.

Through the conversation they talk about perceived sin, the misogyny when an institution is run by the geriatric ward, the church welfare program, and the endless abyss of church history.

You can find more information about them at: https://www.facebook.com/WolvesDenCrew/ Molly talks about a young girl who came out as gay during her ward's Fast and Testimony meeting, who then was told by her church leaders to go sit down. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2017/06/15/a-young-mormon-girl-told-a-temple-crowd-shes-gay-so-they-shut-her-mic-off/ Molly also discusses her recent diagnosis of severe anxiety and moderate depression, which have shown up since she began her journey into the secular world.

Molly talks about the law of tithing that was addressed in the Mormon's General Conference last weekend and Ris talks about her new novel that will be out at ReasonCon titled "False Start".

In this episode, Molly and Ris talk about the institutional sexism that got Sonia Johnson excommunicated for fighting for women's rights in the late '70s and the deification and hero worship of Joseph Smith in the Church. Ris reads "and it came to pass" 39 times in two chapters of the Book of Mormon, and Molly announces the upcoming project to read "The Miracle of Forgiveness" by Spencer W. Kimball.

Then we move on to a dramatic reading randomly from the Book of Mormon, and it makes Ris go mad with no red pen to correct.  Follow the Doubting Dogma blog at doubtingdogmablog.wordpress.com Marissa Alexa McCool is from the Inciting Incident podcast, our sister show.  Twitter- Molly - @DoubtingDogma, Ris - @RisMcCool Facebook - www.facebook.com/doubtingdogma This podcast is copyrighted (c) 2017, All Rights Reserved.
