Jessica and I sat down to talk about several stories from the past week involving religion and politics.
— A Kansas lawmaker told non-Christian constituents that he’d “try and convert” them rather than taking their concerns seriously. (0:52)
— A Texas Democrat dismantled the case for putting the Ten Commandments in every classroom… but Republicans don’t care. (20:08)
— A Baptist missionary was convicted of sexually abusing a four-year-old girl. The proof? He gave her gonorrhea. (41:04)
— What horrible ideas does a former atheist leader have now? Let’s check in. (52:00)
— If you’re attempting to test the Equal Access Act and counter a Christian program in a public school, don’t do it the way this atheist did. (59:15)
— A judge ordered a Pennsylvania school district to allow meetings of the After School Satan Club. (1:19:43)
— A Christian congressman said gun violence was the result of a lack of “revival,” but more Jesus would only make things worse. (1:25:35)
— A Christian minister told Ohio legislators that trans rights supporters were “possessed by demons.” (1:31:55)
