  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does God Exist? Shaun Stevenson vs Nathan Elvidge hosted by Andy Kind
Q: What do you think is the biggest misconception about God?
Nathan points out that many people believe there are no rational reasons for believing in God, which he argues is a grotesque mischaracterization of the reality of philosophical debate.
Does God Exist? Shaun Stevenson vs Nathan Elvidge hosted by Andy Kind
Q: Is evil subjective without God?
Shaun states that we experience evil subjectively, but some things can be absolutely categorized as wrong based on their effects on people.
Classic: Sir Roger Penrose vs William Lane Craig — Origins & Purpose of the Universe
Q: Would the cyclical model sort of, if it were in any way shown to be a good representation of reality, undermine that idea that we have to have a cause behind the universe?
It doesn't show that the past is infinite. It only talks about two eons.
Classic: Live Q&A - Is Religion Useful Fiction or Ultimate Truth? Alister McGrath vs Bret Weinstein (Part 2)
Q: Could you hold it nice and close to your arm? You seem, if I understand you correctly, to accept Brett's materialistic concept of evolution. My question is, where do you feel that man is different from just an over-evolved animal, just another member of the animal kingdom?
Alister notes that while he accepts Brett's view of evolution, he believes there is more to humanity that transcends merely being over-evolved animals, hinting at deeper aspects of human nature.
Classic: Live Q&A - Is Religion Useful Fiction or Ultimate Truth? Alister McGrath vs Bret Weinstein (Part 2)
Q: Brett, I listened with great interest to your debate with Dawkins, in which you seem to be saying to him that you felt evolutionary science had stopped about 30 years ago and hadn't made much progress. I wonder if you could just expand on that.
Brett explains that while empirical studies have continued, he perceives a lack of theoretical breakthroughs in evolutionary science, implying that essential questions remain unanswered.
