Summary

In this episode, a listener asks some questions stemming from their visit to the “School of the Prophets” of an apostate group. The discussion revolves around the age-old question of “How can we know what it is that we know?” We discuss some of the conflated ways apostates and critics misuse historical sources in order to bolster their religious claims.
