  • Excellent Podcast

    I’m writing a review because I saw lots of bad reviews from people who clearly don’t agree with Greg’s take on things. My husband and I listen on the regular and talk about your episodes! This is a great podcast, he really tries to understand where others are coming from but also stands firm in truth. Some may not like that, that’s on them, not on Greg. Excellent podcast.

  • Did not do his homework

    The Temple endowment and the family proclamation are essentially the same thing?!?!!

    How did this guy get a PhD. He thinks the Civil War was literally over just taxes. And he’s comparing not wanting to pay taxes to human sexuality, vastly different.

    This dude can’t remember if Claire Dalton is a seminary or a Sunday school teacher. This guy did not do his study. Can’t pronounce Schilaty right.

    So it’s rhetoric when it’s a rally but it’s the spirit of it’s in sacrament meeting?

  • Paul Mero

    I wouldn’t spend another minute talking to Paul Mero. He obviously doesn’t understand law, economics, American and English history and culture, incentives, and the rule of law. His argument was internally incoherent. Get across the border, you are ok, but if not, too bad! Many other things wrong. He is a practitioner of toxic empathy, which you rightly decry. Also, he wants to assassinate South American leaders? Really? By the way, isn’t Senator Lee supporting President Trump on immigratio... more

  • Greg sees doctrine through a cracked lense

    I watched the episode on religious theology and empathy being Satan’s proposal in the pre-mortal existence.

    If Christ wasn’t a liberator then you aren’t being honest with yourself. You can still believe in the gospel and helping people outside the church. And Greg’s decision on empathy only shows his desire to persuade members to follow the doctrine of MAGA. Christ has always been empathetic. He is literally the perfect example of it.

  • Sexist and racist

    I listened to the episode on the pride cycle and was shocked by the false doctrine spoken of regarding women and the mention of critical race theory along with Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. To blame women for pride entering our culture due to the advancement of domestic appliances and discovery of the pill for birth control is ridiculous and offensive! Pres. Nelson continues to teach the power and value of women. Church leaders have also been teaching the importance of diversity and acceptance ... more
