  • To characterize Kirk as a free speech advocate is unbelievably ignorant or full of "christian" malice

  • Unfollowing

    It’s always good to know where you stand with people, and this latest episode on Charlie Kirk has sealed the deal for me! To call a man who had very hateful views someone who is admirable is incredible. God did not spread hatred, Charlie did.

    Not everyone who calls themselves a Christian is so, and that can even go as far as the people on Premier “Christian” Radio. Disappointed, but not surprised. Goodbye!

  • Brierley was amazing

    The show used to be the best podcast with Justin Brierley, but they have been lost since he left. Some of the topics are good, but the interviewers don’t understand how to ask probing questions without making it about their own point of view. In particular, Roger Bolton comes across as very condescending and dismisses out of hand viewpoints many Christians hold.

  • Sometimes good

    Sometimes very good debates or discussions, with competent intellectuals on both sides.

    Sometimes the discussion meanders and the two sides just talk all around the issue instead of getting to the heart of the disagreement.

    And sometimes, too often, what I thought would be an interesting debate turns out to be very one-sided, with other sides either not given or given very little time.

    I enjoy hearing disagreements aired out. The shows that just evangelize are a waste of time.
