Ep. 18 Politics
Nothing makes people get defensive and upset quite as quickly as politics.

Ep. 17 Moralistic Therapeutic Deism
Maybe you've never heard the term Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, but maybe you've heard the term "Jesus Take the Wheel!" Especially in America and some of the west, the idea of Christianity has been reduced to "Be a good person, do what makes you happy, and your feelings are what matter more than anything. Basically we sprinkle a little religion into "being good" and think that's what Jesus died for. Listen in as they guys talk about the dangers of this trend.
