The Mindfullness Show is written and produced by Josiah Samuel Harry. Music by Josiah Harry, Jr. S2E31 Show Notes:
Hot Take(s): General Motors and Fiat Chrysler will be forced to consolidate their assests and merge under one parent company.
Main segment: There are many fallacies upon which religion is built. I will cover a few of those fallacies in this episode. Throughout history, there has been more bloodshed in the name of religion than any other philosophical worldview. Now, this is not to say that religion is the principal cause of wars and conflicts. The fact is, most wars are economic and political in nature. Even so, as a philosophical worldview, religion has been employed as a weapon of destruction and oppression since its inception. Religion has been the single greatest source of injustice, tyranny, and violence.

The Mindfullness Show is written and produced by Josiah Samuel Harry. Music by Josiah Harry, Jr. S2E13 Show Notes:Josiah discusses whether the National Football League (NFL) anthem policy for 2108, which forces players to stand for the National Anthem, violates players' constitutional rights.
The NFL new anthem policy was adopted not because the NFL team owners are patriotic, but because the NFL team owners want to protect their bottom line.
The NFL should not be allowed to require, compel, coerce, harass, or badger its players into silence in the face of widespread injustice and oppression.
Injustice against Black Americans is an injustice against the voices, stories, and histories of all Americans.

"NFL owners approve national anthem policy for 2018." "Roger Goodell's statement on national anthem policy." "This culture war isn't about the flag; it's about conscience" by David French.

The Mindfullness Show is written and produced by Josiah Samuel Harry. Music by Josiah Harry, Jr. S2E10 Show Notes:
A person who truly values life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, will not support a terrorist organization; namely, the National Rifle Association.
Citizens who support the National Rifle Association (NRA) never imagined the NRA would one day be responsible and complicit in their children's deaths.
The NRA operates with impunity and is allowed sovereignty on US soil because the NRA is a majority white, Christian organization.
Citizens who love this country ought to band together to put an end to the NRA and NRA-sponsored terrorism.
America's future is imperiled every time there is an attack on our children.
