Trigger warning. This podcast contains descriptions of various abusive situations. Listener discretion is

advised. My name is Eric Skritsky. As a former religious fundamentalist, I'm shedding light on the

dark side of the church, from the pulpit to the pews. But I'm not doing it alone. Each week,

that it's like, ha ha, look at our liberals pay the price.

Like they talk the talk of being progressive

and feminist and loving women,

but look how abusive they are.

And that was all fine until, you know,

things really hit the fan for the Baptist Church and for other religious fundamentalists who suddenly something was exposed.

I don't need to tell you this.

That was just so systemic and so heinous and so bizarre.
