Un Podcast de religión para aquellos que desagradan de la religión!Producido por www.ConCienciaMedia.com y Andres Marin Solis.Hay 3 cosas que tienes que saber antes de escuchar un show de ConCiencia.1- Este podcast no es de predicaciones... (para predicaciones vaya a la iglesia) Este podcast es de conversaciones. Nosotros creemos que conversar es indispensable para aprender y formar opiniones educadas. Si, ConCiencia trata de comentar, criticar y desafiar el estado actual del cristianismo y su relación con la sociedad actual, con una pizca de humor aveces. Y por eso sabemos que talvez va a causar controversia y posiblemente ofenderá a uno que otro religioso. Pero no se preocupen!!! Que no les vamos a vender una religión ni les vamos a estar rogando que se hagan cristianos ni hay comisión de por medio. Se los prometo! 2- Si crees en Dios, posiblemente este programa te vaya a ofender en algun momento... si NO crees en Dios, posiblemente este programa te vaya a ofender en algún momento, y si crees en extraterrestres... los creadores del programa tienen las expectativas tan bajas que no te van a juzgar. (Esperamos que nos extiendan la misma cortesía)3- Los creadores del podcast no tienen ningún entrenamiento profesional y nunca van a presumir de saber mas o de ser mejores que nadie, pero les gusta informarse y leer hasta mas no poder, y por eso es que pueden debatir a muerte un tema entre ellos por horas y al final 2 cosas suceden que son muy interesantes: lo primero es que posiblemente ninguno va a cambiar de opinión, y lo segundo es que ellos van a seguir siendo amigos y se van a seguir respetando (como personas digo... Por que veces son mal hablados y se maltratan con palabras entre ellos). Ojalá el mundo real fuera así. (De respetuoso, no de mal hablado, aunque... No se si sabían pero un estudio llego a la conclusión que las personas mal habladas son usualmente mas inteligentes y tienen la capacidad de... Ahh, no importa)Con esto en mente... Esperamos que disfrute el programa, y si quiere, le invitamos a que sea parte del show y del movimiento.Les agradece:Andres Marin SolisRick SantiagoDavid LopezVisítanos en nuestra pagina www.ConCienciaMedia.com y escucha todos los podcasts que tenemos. y siguenos en facebook: www.Facebook.com/ConCienciaMedia.Y en twitter: @ConCienciaMediao escríbenos a ConCienciaPodcast@gmail.com#PodcastCristianoenEspañolparaJóvenes | #CristianismoProgresivo | Conversaciones sobre la biblia y la iglesia Cristiana | #PodcastDeDecosntrucción more

The Doubts Aloud Podcast!Join us as we allow doubts to be voiced regarding faith, religion and worldviews. Two of us have been Christians and none of us believe, so our current conclusion is that the doubts regarding Christianity are justified, but we are keen to question ourselves and hear Christian arguments and hear from Christian guests. Our background means that our conversation with Christianity will tend to dominate over other faiths. We are Frances Janusz, Andrew Whyte and Ed Atkinson. We value the use of reason and evidence to assess matters of faith and worldview. (Should we doubt those assumptions?). We will consider philosophy, theology, Biblical Studies, human experience from the thinking layman's viewpoint. We greatly value respect for those we disagree with and engaging in discussion.
