Join Charlie, a Christopagan Druid, and his husband, Brian, in this episode of Creations Paths as they dive into the impact of St. Augustine and his doctrine of original sin. They discuss Augustine's transformation of Christianity from a pacifist movement to one that justified violence, his teachings on original sin, and the misogynistic roots of blaming women for humanity's flaws. The episode questions the psychological harm these doctrines have caused.
