Who in the world feeds flies? Apparently Sadaka, the hero of the Swahili story of the Three Tests! In this episode of Unlimited Opinions, we cover more than just fly-feeding as we look at African parables and how we can apply the morals of these stories to our lives today. We discuss the story of Walukaga the blacksmith and his order to be build an iron man, the hauntingly cyclical Mbundu story of the Young Man and the Skull, the amazing story of the Feast from Cameroon, the Tom and Jerry-esque story of the two rogues from Kano and Katsina, and many more.

In this episode, we accidentally try out a new format in which one of us reads the wrong chapter! Join us as we look at depictions of Satan and other demons in Tolkien's writings, primarily through the lens of Morgoth and Sauron. We discuss how Satan fell, the temptations of the modern world, spiritual warfare, and much more! As always, we go on plenty of tangents, such as talks about letters to the editor of a local newspaper and boxes of way too many books! Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

The first two-parter in Unlimited Opinions history! Join us as we look at the Catholic Church during the Dark Ages, beginning with the fall of Rome, the conversions of the various barbarian tribes, the invasion of the Muslims, and the low point of papal history! Throughout this episode, we continuously ask whether or not the Dark Ages were truly dark, given the presence of strong theological centers in monasteries and the presence of a new Christian legal system. We also go on plenty of rants, including one about Andrew Tate and starting our own combination fraternity-monasteries!

This chapter was so dense that we still had over an hour's worth of thoughts for the second episode! Join us as we look at the rest of the Dark Ages, specifically covering the Vikings, the decline of Western culture, the theology of the Dark Ages, the continuing formation of the liturgy, and much more! We of course keep asking the central question: were the Dark Ages truly dark?

Reincarnation: a wise philosophy or nonsense? We attempt to answer that question and more as we look at some legends about Buddha. We look at Guatama Buddha's conversion, life, and death, the story of how Sumedha became a disciple of Buddha, and the tale of the six-tusked elephant. We also look at the nature of desire as the root of all evil, the popularity of Buddhism, and how Buddhism relates to other religions! Follow us on Twitter! @UlmtdOpinions

Krishna's major accomplishments: battling a monstrous snake, lifting an entire mountain with the tip of his finger, and...stealing clothes?

If you listen to a prerecorded form of entertainment, are you then engaging in a live performance? Of course not, right? Apparently that is up for debate in this episode as we look at various Chinese gods that are important to the connection between the mortal and immortal worlds. We look at the kitchen god who reports families' behavior to the Supreme Being of the Heavens, the door gods who protect from unwanted visitors, the bureaucracy of the elements (particularly Lei Kung, the Duke of Thunder), the Buddhist goddess of mercy, Kuan Yin, and the Eight Immortals of Taoism, who each represent a unique aspect of life.
