Episode 96: Azusa Street: The Dawn of a New Error

Take a walk with Spider and Shelle through the story of the birth of the modern pentecostal movement. Not needing proof of something being real has been a running thread through all religions, but in this instance, even we have to be amazed at how WIlliam Seymour managed to convince so many people that this thing called holy spirit baptism was real even before he "received" it himself. Offer some people just a little bit of power and they'll follow you anywhere. This plus an awesomely alliterative edition of Christians Behaving Badly, fortified with problematic Patheos policies, plants in paradise, and papal bull about  pets.
