The Secular Parachute
The Secular Parachute
Holly Gennero
Examining the harmful effects of religion. Problematic issues including societal, emotional, mental, and financial hardships that followers fall into due to their religion. The Secular Parachute is an inclusive platform to express love, acceptance, healing and sharing stories. Reminding all that morality and humanity don't need to manifest through religion. The Secular Parachute is here to catch you when you fall, provide a safety net, and overall a community of individuals who have been through it too. Theme song by Tim Yunker
I'm Pro QUALITY of life!
Tim Y. Co-hosts this interview with Kaleb, who is advocating for the Pro-life position. Impressively, Kaleb is a well-spoken 20 year old, who doesn't use religion to back up his arguments. He did almost make us change our stance, but there was something he still didn't have an explanation for: How can you in good conscience EVER tell someone else what they can do with their own body? However, we admit that if the systems were set up to benefit the mother and child, society would become more pro-life organically, because the quality of life would be there!Follow me on Tiktok @the.secular.parachute.podcast or on Twitter @hollygenneroTSP.
