Summary

Data from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) has found that white Christians—including mainline Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals—are the most racist religious group in America, Robert P. Jones, the CEO of PRRI, says this isn’t a bug within white American Christianity, but a feature. He discusses his new book “White Too Long” about the lingering legacy of white supremacy in the church. Also this week, apologist Josh McDowell joins those saying CRT is the greatest threat facing the church, but does his argument contradict itself? Why is belief in miracles going up if overall belief in religion is going down? Phil says we shouldn’t worry about scientists trying to resurrect woolly mammoths. Christian explains why she’s in the Netherlands. And police in the UK issue a warning about kids buying beans.

0:00.0	Welcome to episode 475 of The Holy Post. On today's show, why are kids in the UK throwing beans?
0:07.1	And is it a good idea for scientists to resurrect the woolly mammoth?
0:11.1	Then Josh McDowell has joined the chorus of those saying that CRT is the greatest threat facing the
0:16.2	church, but does his own argument contradict itself? And why is belief in miracles growing if
0:22.0	overall belief in religion is going down? All of that plus, Phil thinks wooden shoes in Holland
0:27.9	are a scam. Here is today's episode of The Holy Post.
0:31.7	Hey there, this is Phil Vissier. Welcome back to The Holy Post podcast. I am here with
0:35.7	Skyjitani. Hi Sky. Hi Phil. And we've got Christian Taylor. Hi Christian. Hello Phil.
0:42.3	And hi Jason. How you doing? Hey there. I'm good. How are you?
0:46.4	Good. Everyone wants to know where we're playing a little game called Where in the World is Christian
0:52.4	Santiago? I love Carmen Sandi. That's good. That's so great. Where are you?
0:59.8	Well, I will give you three hints. Number one, well this is just too easy, but wooden shoes.
1:07.9	Okay. I think we got it. Two lips. And number three, windmills. Portland.
1:14.8	Why don't why don't hipsters pick up on wooden shoes and bring those? They never really caught on in
1:22.9	America. They did not look very comfortable. I'm just saying. What was the point of wooden shoes?
1:29.1	Did they not answer the cow hide? What was the point? That is the point. They did not have access
1:35.4	to leather or to fabric. So I mean, I was just adding what were they wearing for clothes?
1:40.8	Were they wearing wooden pants? Mark was all bark. They were wearing very raggedy rags that they'd
1:48.4	had for a really long time. It was it was very hard today. I was at the Overloon Museum and I saw
1:53.9	a bunch of children talking about what it was like to be in the Netherlands during that time and
1:57.8	what time what time are we talking about? We were talking about 1940 the 1939 to 1945.
