“The Bait-and-Switch” (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It’s in the Code ep 140

Practitioners of high-control Christianity present the “core” teachings of the tradition as being about God’s unconditional love and acceptance of human beings. 

This is the “public-facing” presentation of high-control Christianity. But when we take a deeper look within high-control Christianity, we encounter a bait-and-switch. This accepting, affirming Christian vision is replaced by one focused on obligation structured around emotions like fear and guilt. 

How does this take place? And how does this serve the purposes of high-control Christianity? Take a listen to this week’s episode to find out!
