Darrel Ray on Religion, Guilt, and Addiction: A Candid Conversation
Guilt has a lot to do with how people behave. They're perfectly normal and they're not hurting anybody or they're consensual. Yeah, right, I think what you're saying is in line with what I'm saying.
What happens when religion and guilt intertwine with our behavior and addiction? In this episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', Kenneth Anderson sits down with Darrel Ray Ed. D., the author of 'The God Virus' and 'Sex & God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality'. They dive into some pretty eye-opening topics, from how guilt can shape our actions to the ways religion can distort our views on sexuality. But it doesn't stop there.
They also chat about the decriminalization of drug use and the importance of finding a good therapist, especially through the secular therapist project. Ray's insights are as raw as they are engaging, making for a conversation that's both informative and motivational. If you've ever wondered how social structures influence addiction or how to navigate these tricky waters, this episode is a must-listen.
