Welcome to the Eric Metaxis show with your host, Eric Metaxus.

Hey there, folks. It's here from The Texas Show. Every now and again, we have a special,

fun, Ask Mataxis segment. Yeah. We have a special fun Ask Metaxus segment.

Yeah. I get to play the role of Metaxus. You get to ask the questions. Yeah, thank you. I'm going to play

album today. Okay, here's the first question. How do you, how do I, and that would be everybody out there,

how do I order, pre-order your Is Atheism Dead Book? All right. We're not supposed to have questions like this because this is kind of the question that it's embarrassing. It sounds like we included it just to plug my book. But since somebody asked the question, I'll answer it because I do want people to pre-order the book. You go to website ericmataxis.com while you're there you sign up

for the newsletter just in case you haven't done that before shame on you and then you click on books

and you'll see how to pre-order next question okay what would you say to a 13 year old american boy today

as encouragement as advice advice, as wisdom.

How about, hey, how about get a haircut and get a job and stop leaching off your parents?

What is wrong with you?

Okay.

No, the 13 year old, I would say that, this is kind of tough to say, but you live in a culture now

where it has gotten increasingly impossible to get to the truth.

So one thing you need to do is understand that a lot of the stuff you're getting off of your phone has been filtered by people that I wouldn't trust to give you information.

So I would say you need to make sure that you read things and follow sources that are going to give you truth.

We've never been in a society where it's so easy for people to be propagandized by forces beyond their parents, beyond people who love them and care for them.

So it's one of the reasons I say to people sign up for my newsletter because I have guests on that I know I can trust.

If you kind of flip on the TV or just look on the Internet or take Yahoo News or whatever,

you're getting a lot of information that's not good and healthy.

I would also say that I wish I could send you a copy of my Seven Men book,

and I wish I could send you a copy of my is, sorry, if you can keep it book,
