About this episode

When studying cultural anthropology, one is generally taught to treat every belief system with respect and to keep one's opinions to themselves. Speaking up on the ideas of skepticism is usually frowned upon. Malorie Mackey used to feel strongly that all beliefs should be respected, as she came from an anthropological background. However, after living in the world of skepticism for some time, she has concluded that some belief systems are harmful. When do they become harmful? And when do you step in once they do? Join us for this analysis of when beliefs become destructive and how this sensitive topic should be approached. And plan on staying for the post-show hangout.
