God in the Frontier (Episode 4) - Selfishness and Selflessness in Oneida PLUS Cosmos Crumbling: The Birth of Adventism

Published on: 13th April, 2023

How do you know when you've reached peak Christian Perfectionism? When one man was confident he had found it he started a commune that led to one of the most successful businesses in American flatware. Or what do you do when you read the Bible only to discover a message of when the world was going to end hidden within its text? Would you tell the world or just keep it to yourself?... And what if you were wrong but afterwards people continued to believe it anyway? Welcome to the eccentric world of the Oneida Community and the origin of Adventism. (4/12)

About the Podcast

No Character Limit
No Character Limit is a podcast to thoughtfully explore interesting and diverse topics without the constraints of character limits or the need to always be right. In an age where nuance is lost, anger and outrage are monetized, and entertainment supersedes knowledge, No Character Limit embraces the lost art of research-based longform discussion. An escape from specialization, compartmentalization, and quantification, join host Robert Thuerck as he dares give voice to thoughts across a spectrum of interests, holistic perspectives, and qualitative measures - without sacrificing expert and professional guidance. Are we as a species addicted to fire? Did the moon actually stop a war? Who wins when a magician goes up against a fortune teller? What caused the greatest mass extinction of all time? Find out all of this and more while learning something new - not only about the greater world around us - but hopefully about yourself... when you join in and listen to No Character Limit.
