Lucky Bitch Radio with Wanda Wisdom

try a blob of honey in the chili while it’s cookin. fo real!

They call it blind faith for a reason Wanda. It may be worth just taking a pause and consider what is it that you want to achieve from this email exchange. If you think that you can change him and the way he thinks and believes even one iota, then go for it, but is that really realistic?
Loved the progrum today, very thought provoking.
Keep up the great work!

You should invite Russ onto the show.

I also doubt he would accept the offer, but then again you never know.

Although I agreed on what you said, and as much as I wanted like you that this man would realize what he was doing, I felt it was so hopeless. I mean you are asking this guy to respect your view of the world and spirituality as you respect his. But the problem is, that this mentality of yours is characteristic to your kind of thinking. In your view of the world, there is place for other ways of thinking.

For that man, there is NO other mentality, it’s not like he’s accepting his religion as one of the many others on this earth. For him, there’s a christian, and there is a non-christian. Good guy, or bad guys.

So, you see what I am thinking ? It’s like you are trying to make this guy, think the same way you do, meaning, you want him to be as open as you are. I know, it sounds retaderd. But I sometime get really tired of some religious people and try understand why they act the way they do. But I guess that impossible, just thinking about it, makes me wanna give up already…..

Anyway, thanks Wanda for this show, you went really deep and I appreciate that…

Awww, first part brought me down. Plenty people succeed by their own definition through their own efforts, look at the entrepreneurs that drop out of education, strike out on their own and live successful fulfilling lives.

I don’t think everyone can do it, but I worry that potentially powerful people get trapped into thinking that they can’t succeed by themselves. Things like 12 step programmes make me feel ill when I see them stripping people of power saying ‘you’re weak and shitty and can’t be happy until you convince yourself that your a weak and shitty person’ and celebrating the trading of one kind of dependency such as substances to a dependency of other people or spirituality. It just seems real twisted to me.

Honey, it’s OK, you can whack yourself silly and still be able to tick the ‘chaste’ box, well, up until you fill someone else’s box with your drag queen babies ;D

i luv ur abortion slogans ..

eghh i just stumbled across this::

Amazing podcast. Just listened to this one…almost caught up. YAY! I know you said we didn’t have to catch up, but that we could skip ahead, a while back, but I still felt the need.

This one really touched me tho, I grew up and struggled with an imposed faith and had to struggle with the reality of things once I realized I was gay…and the bigger realization of the fact that humans are flawed…and the humans that put together the “good book” were biased in their day and age. I had to work towards not judging others when that was how I was brought up.

I continuously find flaws in the way that the christian faith chooses to impose itself on others. Leaving little choice in the matter, but rather determining what is right and wrong and that all must follow or be left behind. In a book that is so open to inerpretation, it’s amazing the hard line that is taken in such matters as huge as where your soul will end up if you do certain actions.

I look forward to future discussions and this one definitely did not bore me. =)

Hey Wanda…great show, but of course I have to take (a teensy) issue: you say it’s important to have conversations with Christian whackjobs like Russ, but 3 or 4 emails in and he’s still defaulting to spewing scripture at you — scripture which by your own standard of belief (and mine) you *don’t view as the inerrant word of God*, AND you’ve said as much to him.

This is why it’s impossible to actually have a meaningful conversation with these people: despite what they claim that’s not what they’re after. They want to USE the goodwill of people like you as an excuse to witness, which is, of course, profoundly different that a rational conversation between two adults who simply disagree.

celibate |ˈseləbət| adjective abstaining from marriage and sexual relations, typically for religious reasons : a celibate priest. • having or involving no sexual relations : I’d rather stay single and celibate.

My seminarian father beleives that is means no masturbation as well but that is in regards to canon law. I think chaste would mean no masturbation as well. Celibate is latin in origin.

OK regarding the workout. I applaud your effort and accomplishments. I am skeptical thinking that to keep up with these multiple sessions will burn you out. We are similar in personality and I see myself jumping on a band wagon 100% for a while. Then fading off to nothing. Moderation isn’t in our vocaublary much. And for the “common person” working out twice a day is impossible. Most of us have 8 hours or more of work. And those of us who have family and other commitments can surely NOT take the time to do half of what you are doing. I wonder if there is a way to incorporate “baby steps” into the progrum?

You know I love you, whore!
