Episode 3: Fear - a four letter word

Episode 2: What the Bleep is Normal?

What is normal? Who is normal? What does the word normal mean? Does it have any relevance anymore? Let’s dig in and wrestle with some wild concepts. Maybe we need to change how we think and the way we think and behave. Because we all be brain damaged!

Episode 1: Why this Podcast? My Motives!

Why am I doing this? What are my motives? What are we talking about? Why does any of this matter? Who cares? Who or what are the problems? How are we all brain damaged? Why is this rated R? Don’t tell my mom.
Let’s figure out how to discover truth amidst all the lies we have been programmed to believe are The Truth. We will address health, fitness, nutrition, doctors, medicine, health care, politics, violence, religion, us vs them, Christian doctrines I no longer hold to and why, what I believe about Trinity God and why that affects all of us. And lastly for fun and safety we will discuss how to drive safely and not be an oblivious jerk or idiot. Hahaha. LFG!!!

Episode -29AD; Is Father God Violent or Punishing? Does Jesus want sacrifices? Apr 22, 2025

I spent 30 years in the evangelical church world in the USA. Most of that was under the influence of Reformed Calvinist theology. I struggled with the teaching about Father God being angry, judgmental and punishing. If Jesus Christ is perfect love and 1 John 4 states Father God IS Love; how could the Hebrew scriptures really teach the angry Zeus and Janus-like god in the sky? What is God truly like? How did we get to this angry god? Which view is right, correct?

Brain Damage with Scott: Episode -42D; Relationshit / Relationships

Part 1 of figuring out what is wrong with us and why. We all struggle with relationships. Why? Is everyone in this mess? Or just me? Is there help? Or do I alone struggle?

This is a first piece of explaining the problems and offering some steps to growing, maturing, and resolving issues and traumas.

Brain Damage with Scott: Episode -72; How Divorce is like USA Politics

Here is the basic analogy: when two people get married, they are often blindly and madly in love overlooking many negatives to focus on the connection and what draws them together. When conflict happens which ends in divorce, many times these two can no longer agree on anything and become vilifying enemies... much like how current democrats and republicans [lower case on purpose] nastily treat the other. It gets myopically blind and spiteful. Why? Does it need or have to be this way? Why do we treat our fellow citizens so awfully? Stop it! Let's learn how to talk truthfully without turning those who agree with us into fellow fighters against the other side.

Brain Damage with Scott: “Shame” Episode-69

Shame is a good thing in cultures where people have the best in mind for their fellow group members. Maybe?! Here in the USA, I am convinced shame is used primarily in a bad and very negative way to attack the person; not merely their behavior. It is a type of condemnation against those who violate the principles of the one in power. How dare you? How could you do that to me? Shame makes people feel like they ARE bad; not that they behaved bad. How do we deal with this traumatizing abuse?

Episode -89: Why are We All Brain Damaged?

Background for what the heck I am doing this podcast. We all have traumas and crazy life events that led us to believe absolute nonsense and garbage. When we grow into adult bodies, often we have so much childhood gunk that we are NOT mature emotionally or relationally. How did we become psychotic, mean, angry, crazy people? Oh, let's throw in the problem of "Good / Evil" to start wrestling with how we got into this mess and why we think our version of truth is correct and others are demon possessed whack-a-dos! Another topic we will wrestle with is health, fitness, and nutrition. So many lies are told in this area through marketing and medicine. AND, we might as well discuss how power politics and religion merged to take over the world and enslave all of us peasants. Let's have fun re-thinking everything we think we know and believe.
