Are the consequences of killing Christianity
bearing their poisoned fruit?

Blazing Reader,

If you didn't attend church today, I'd recommend listening to the April 17th episode of Just Right, to find out why maybe you should have.

And if you did attend church today, I'd recommend listening to the same episode, to find out why maybe you should not have.

In it, YouTuber Sargon of Akkad claims that the non-religious seek "to have the consequences of religion without the mechanisms of it. To have the believers without the belief. Naturally, this contradiction cannot hold. Without sincere belief, there will be no sincere believers. This fact seems to have become apparent in the years after the new atheists, where the consequences of killing Christianity are bearing their poisoned fruit: social breakdown, failure of personal ethics, a lack of moral authority, the death of the desire to build things which are beautiful..."

Episode #856 is a philosophical roller-coaster looking at what role Christianity has and has not played in creating a culture based upon freedom, morality and individual rights — that may leave you even more confused, but nonetheless more enlightened, about the role religion should play in a rational society.

Host Bob Metz did an excellent job (as usual) with this episode which he calls "ATHEISNT." You can listen to "ATHEISNT" at Just Right Media: https://justrightmedia.org/blog/archives/14435
