Yo!

Welcome into the House of L Podcasts.

I am Lawrence Holmes.

Thank you so much for hanging out and listening to the pod.

I don't know if I should call this a warning.

A warning seems weird, especially

considering the subject matter of this.

But I will offer that if you are someone

who is a little bit more secular and maybe not as comfortable with conversations about religion.

You're like, you know what, Lawrence, I'll catch you on the next episode.

I'm okay with that.

Like that's totally well within your right, but I want to tell you that there will

be some conversation about God, I imagine I'll even quote scripture at some point,

and if that's not your thing,

I understand that.

I don't think that people, even though I know a lot of people who have used religion to become moral,

one does not need religion to be moral in my opinion. I know plenty

of moral people, good people who are agnostic and atheists and I don't want you to feel like this is a condemnation of your

journey to morality,

being the best person that you can be,

being good in your community, all of that stuff.

So, but I wanted to tell you that before we get started here.
