Welcome to “Beat The Mental Health Out Of It!” with your hosts, The DEFECTIVE Schizoaffective and IndyPocket!

We’re diving headfirst into the chaos of faith, religion, and personal truth in this episode. (Which is “technically” part 2)

We don’t hate on religion, but we dismantle the performance of religion, call out the hypocrisy, and dare to laugh at the absurdity—all while we stay grounded in our lived experience.

We’ll discuss it all, including:

  • Faith Isn’t A Script — It’s A Fight!

Forget what you were told. Belief isn’t clean, pure, or simple. It’s messy, personal, and often painful, just like mental health.

  • Religion As Control Vs. Religion As Growth

We break down how religion can be a prison or a pathway—depending on who’s holding the keys.

  • The God Complex In Community Spaces

Churches talk about humility but operate like courts of law. Community shouldn’t feel like conformity!

  • Personal Experience Over Preaching

Don’t quote a Bible verse at someone who’s been to hell and back. Try offering acceptance instead of judgment.

  • Double Standards In Organized Religion

Forgiveness for some, damnation for others. Why do so many religious institutions only follow the rules when it’s convenient?

  • Creation, Destruction, And The Ugly Middle

Faith can save you or destroy you—or both. And sometimes, you need to burn everything down before you find truth.

  • Finding Humor In Holy Chaos

The best way to stay sane while talking about religion? Laugh at it. If God’s real, He can handle the joke. He’s a big boy! (or woman…)

  • Spirituality Without The Branding

You don’t need to wear a label to believe in something bigger. Your faith is YOUR’S alone!

  • Tolerance Isn’t Just For The Liberal Left

True faith requires listening, not lecturing. Acceptance isn’t weakness—it’s maturity.

  • Mystery Over The Dogma

Not having all the answers is the point. Maybe the only honest faith is the one that admits it doesn’t know everything… Hmmm…

Come with us on a profound journey as we BEAT THE MENTAL HEALTH OUT OF our souls!
