Summary
Jessica and I sat down to talk about several stories from the past week involving religious and politics. They included:
- The atheist politician who created a "men's rights" subreddit -
Is the star of The Handmaid's Tale avoiding the word "feminist" because she's a Scientologist?
- Did a Christian homeless shelter actually make a wise strategic decision when it rejected money from a gay chorus to appease other donors?
- If a Christian university imposes severe restrictions on the type of material students are exposed to, what are they actually learning?
- Why would a woman want to be harassed by someone like Bill O'Reilly?
- Why would the mayor of San Antonio say godlessness was the root cause of generational poverty?
- Why was the IRS visiting Benny Hinn's ministries?
