  • Too bad for the pandering of coins

    Very rich subject matters and deep dives into human nature and the ideas of the devine. However, everything is soiled completely when advetisment for political parties and various cleaning agents interrupt the flow of thought and reflection. It nullifies the entire basis of the experience of further objective knowledge to nothing more than a another cheap cash grab, could've have be a true work of greatness.

  • Knowledgeable and non-judgemental

    Knowledgeable and non-judgemental. Those are two words tou can use to describe this show, but they’re sadly two words you don’t often hear when people talk about religion. The topics are a bit heavy on Islam-related topics, but as Filip explains, that happens to be his area of academic expertise.
