Dan and Greg discuss one of the most interestingly wrong visions of theological anthropology circulating in our society today: the idea that humans are effectively computers, and that human consciousness may one day be downloaded into electronic machines. By reflecting on the demonic twists in this vision of humanity we can see more fully what humans are genuinely created to be.

Dan and Greg discuss death, exploring funeral rites and rituals, the cultural fear and denial of death, the demonic twists and distractions the falsely frame life, and ultimately the meaning of Resurrection in Christ.

Greg and Dan welcome Fr Yuri Hladio for a conversation about celebrities, fame, and their impact on western culture and the Church.

Dan and Greg discuss modern expectations around romantic love and relationships, moving forward into a discussion of the place of eros in the Christian life. In a world where finding the perfect partner and living up to a romantic ideal have become so important, how do Christians respond? Is there any value at all to romantic love, or is it side-lined by the pursuit of universal agape? And what is eros anyway?

Our apologies in this episode for mixing up Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky. We have included a clarification at the end of the episode.

Dan and Greg discuss how electoral politics can serve more as means of creating identity and "team" loyalty than as a method for solving problems and engaging idea, then consider what kinds of ordering principles rule our lives and ask the essential question of what would happen if we put Christ at the centre of our thinking.

Dan and Greg welcome special guest Eleni O to continue the discussion about psychedelics with an eye to exploring the meaning of mystical experiences and the role they play in our mental and spiritual health.

In this episode Dan and Greg speak with special guest, Fr Geoffrey Ready, about psychedelics and their (potential) place in medicine and the Church.

DISCLAIMER: Hopefully it is clear already from the episode, but Dan and Greg do not condone or advise the use of psychedelics in Orthodox Christian life. Fr Geoffrey's views push the envelope in interesting ways and his opinion may differ, but the Men among Demons continue to recommend a focus on the tried and true pathways that the Church provides us for gaining spiritual insight and a deeper relationship with Christ.
