565: The Vegan Bible, Loveless Christianity, & Spiritual Narcissism with Rainn Wilson

Published: May 17, 2023, 10 a.m.

Ethicist, David Gushee, says we are seeing the emergence of a new kind of loveless Christianity. But those who practice it say their anger, culture warring, and pursuit of power are actually how they\u2019re loving their neighbors. Then, Skye talks to actor Rainn Wilson, best known as Dwight Schrute from \u201cThe Office,\u201d about religious pluralism, spiritual narcissism, why Hollywood misrepresents Christians, and how he became a follower of the Baha\u2019i faith. Wilson\u2019s new book is \u201cSoul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution.\u201d Also this week\u2014A.I. has rewritten Genesis to be vegan-friendly, and does God really hate yoga pants?
