As much as I enjoy your commentary of the inane Christian spoutings, I think this show would have much more gravitas if it had a real theologian on the panel. I am quite convinced there are plenty well spoken “go to” ministers out there that would love to soundly put this fanaticism to rest or do an epic slap down of these bloated chested “people of Jesus”. Most of the clergy I have encountered do share your point of view.
I’m sorry but when it comes to religion this show for the most part just sounds as reactionary as Fox news or politicians like Mike Huckabee.
