Welcome back to another episode of the podcast, Remy-Umpdom Ruminations.

My name is Scott and I'm the host.

Today's episode is called

Antagonism or Criticism. Thanks for coming back to listen to another episode.

Today I'm going to cover some comments that I received.

This is at this point, it's months ago, back in the early summer, I think late July. A listener to the podcast did not like what I had to say

in some of my episodes. And this listener was accusing me of being antagonistic. So today I want to read some of these

comments. I want to think critically about what I said in those episodes and identify if I was

actually being antagonistic or maybe if I was just being critical. I haven't done the

shameless self-plug in a minute. If this podcast is something you enjoy, if this content is

something that that you find value in, please consider becoming a monthly recurring donor to the

podcast, a dollar, two dollars, a recurring donation, whatever works for you.

Or if that's not something you're financially able to do, you could like the episodes,

comment on them, engage with whatever streaming platform you're using, and share it with friends and family.

Or it's safe.

You know, I know in this space we're not all able to share freely our thoughts and ideas around the church.

So we'll jump into this.

The episode in question was episode was episode 102, the cost of belief?

Jeez, that came out on July 12th.

It's been a minute.

I took a bit of a break between that month, between July and August until now.

In that episode, I actually responded to a previous comment made by this same listener, Dave.
