Summary
Is disagreement hate? And what about speaking out against certain sexual behaviors, like LGBTQ? Does that make you a mentally unstable person? A Canadian "hate speech" bill is currently causing concern as critics warn it could chill religious speech and expose some people to prosecution for simply quoting the Bible. Meanwhile, basketball player Jaden Ivey is promptly fired from the Chicago Bulls for stating that Pride Month celebrates "unrighteousness" as other NBA players commit serious felonies (including physically harming others) without serious repercussions. What's up with that?
Pack your patience during the midweek episode as Frank addresses these and many other questions including:
- What is the irony behind Liberal Party MP Marc Miller's statements in regards to Bible passages in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Romans?
- Where does our identity come from?
- Does our behavior define our identity?
- What's the hypocrisy and double-standard happening in the NBA?
- What usually happens when politics gets involved with medicine?
- What three things can society do in regards to any issue?
Later in the program, Frank responds to listener questions related to:
- How did Islam become the second largest religion on the planet if it's false?
- What do we need to keep in mind when it comes to the testimony of a historical event?
- What are veridical NDEs and death visions?
- If not evangelism, what is our first and primary duty as Christians?
- Why didn't God create us in a redeemed state and take us directly to Heaven? What's the purpose of the fall?
Be sure to tune in later this week when Dr. Stephen C. Meyer joins the program to discuss his fantastic new movie, 'The Story of Everything', coming to a theatre near you on THURS. 4/30!

| 0:00.0 | Welcome, I don't have enough faith to be an atheist, ladies and gentlemen. |
| 0:05.7 | I have several questions you have emailed in. |
| 0:08.2 | I'm going to get to in a moment. |
| 0:10.0 | But before I do, I want to ask you, what is hate speech? |
| 0:14.0 | Is disagreement hate? |
| 0:16.8 | Is opposing a behavior hate? |
| 0:25.1 | We're going to get into that in the first part of this program because I came across an article it says this, |
| 0:28.4 | Canada hate bill could be weaponized against people of faith, |
| 0:34.0 | conservative lawmaker warns. |
| 0:36.7 | We'll put the link to the article here in the show notes. |
| 0:41.8 | So this is a Canadian bill that it's called Bill C9. It passed the House of Commons and heads to |
| 0:50.5 | Senate after lawmakers removed religious defense position. |
| 0:56.0 | That's the subtitle of this article. |
| 0:58.4 | And it's not just an article affecting Canada. |
| 1:01.3 | It's an article that could affect all of us because there's this notion that if you disagree with someone |
| 1:08.0 | or the Bible disagrees with certain sexual behaviors that that somehow |
| 1:13.1 | is hate. Let me read a portion of this article and then we'll unpack this idea that being opposed |
| 1:19.8 | to a particular behavior is considered hate. Here's what the article says. During a House Justice |
| 1:26.8 | Committee hearing last October in Canada, |
| 1:30.8 | Liberal Party MP Mark Miller, Minister of Canadian identity and culture, suggested that certain |
| 1:40.1 | passages from the Bible were inherently hateful toward homosexuals and questioned the criminal |
| 1:47.6 | code's initial carve out for religious statements made in quote good faith. And here's what this |
