Space-Cast! #56. Keep Your Shirt Tucked In
Ever wanted to play a game that would make you feel strange feelings about your childhood religion? Heyo, Greg Loring-Albright’s Keep the Faith is the title for you! In this conversation, Greg joins us to discuss whether board games or role-playing games are better, our respective religious traumas and hopes, and how a board game might prove illuminating of historical forces. You know, light chit-chat!
TIMESTAMPS
Honestly, there are no timestamps for this one. The conversation was rather stream-of-consciousness on my part, and I’d rather not break it into discrete portions. I’m sorry. =(

SPACE-BIFF! 
albeit explicitly not religious I think games like zendo imitate the “behaviour creates belief” mentioned in the podcast. The way people find themselves in incorrect “logical actions” based on joining dots in their own head their own personal way (and sometimes other people just saying something)
Interesting thought! I like this.
Greg was an excellent guest! Episodes like this make me salty that the Space Cast didn’t win the Golden Geek.
That’s very kind of you to say! No need to be salty, though. We’ll get ’em next time. (We won’t.)
There wouldn’t happen to be more information out there on Mormonism’s four major phases of shifting attitudes toward sex, would there? It sounds like there would be but I’m not finding anything about it online, or at least not anything recent. Maybe an entire review focusing on the conversation driven by one card would be boring but that part at least sounded fascinating.
After the recording, I chatted with Greg about the details a bit. He was very kind about it.
The easiest place to look would be something like Dialogue Journal, which has plenty of articles about Mormon sexuality, treatment of queer identity, and so forth.
