Yes, God, God. God don't never

welcome to broadcast episode 17 I think it's 17 pretty sure it's 17. So as I'm recording this we are just a few days after the

0:29.3

tragic shooting at the Texas Church and I wanted to talk for a little bit about some of the

0:37.1

implications of that shooting, not for gun control and not for the typical

1:58.9

did a bad thing, see atheism is false, or the Christians were doing a good thing so see Christianity is true.

2:07.5

What I wanted to what I want to point out is who is being consistent in this,

2:16.9

What is not what does your position make you do,

2:22.1

but what does your position allow you to do? What does your
