Martyrdom

What started as a morbid fascination with how some saints met their deaths, this episode turned an emotional corner as we discuss different martyrs and how they came to be. Michelle focuses on the ancient past and the more ‘creative’ endings these saints met. Beth touches on more recent history and we find ourselves angered and appalled. Why does someone need to die just to further their message? Could change have come about if these individuals were allowed to live? What gives someone the right to claim another human’s life? What sicko decided to name the flayed saint the patron of tanners? Come listen and be frustrated by the lack of answers to these questions.
