1398: Exploring Religious Differences: A Critical Analysis of Biblical and Quranic Scriptures with Navy Veteran and Author Charles R. Floyd

What this episode covers

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by religion when so many teachings seem to contradict each other—not just across faiths, but even within the same tradition. You grow up hearing one version of truth, then stumble on verses or stories that shake what you thought was solid. Dig a little deeper, and you start to see how much of religion is shaped by culture, power, and interpretation, not just divine guidance. For some, that confusion becomes curiosity; for others, it sparks the kind of doubt that’s hard to say out loud. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5_yrSSfcAk Navy veteran Charles R.

Get away from listening to the pundits, listening to the talking heads, and start thinking on your own.” “If I never sell a book, the book is there for posterity. If they want to see it, it's there.
