Oh, why don't you leave them alone?

Your average Christian just wants to practice their faith in private, be a good person, they'd never persecute anybody.

And I might say in response, sure, sure, it might seem that we're here at the ACA target Christians particularly,

and so we go after them with less than great intentions, you might think, but, you know, it is for a reason.

Now, I could go into the usual stuff about how belief informs action, and it's the consequences of those actions that I am compelled to be interested in, so therefore your beliefs are interesting to me.

And if someone espousing what those titles refer to is acting up, I'm going to call them

I will call those out. So to you,

have already lost. But if you think you've no different, give us a call

because the show starts now.

All right. Well, hello and welcome to Talk Heathen. I am excited to be here. Today is September 1st, 2024. I'll be Christy Pell hosting here with my good

dear friend, Jamie Forbes. Jamie, thanks so much for joining me today. Oh, it's fantastic.

I am still reading from last weekend's revelries. I feel like my body. I'm not 18 anymore, man.

I'm not. No, I hear it. We all had a

wonderful time on the bat cruise. I hope that everybody will be keeping their eyes open and looking

for that weekend when it comes around at the end of next summer. Because, yeah, even though
