134. Disarming The Gun-Slinging Savior (Ep34 Rebroadcast)

Welcome back to the Time Machine! Stephen's work schedule at his day job will be insane until the end of May, so we decided to take some editing burden off of him and re-share some favorite episodes from the archive, specifically suggested by members of our Patreon community. Today's nomination comes from our friend, Courtney Clark! 

The idea of defending his new home with a gun is weighing on Stephen pretty heavily this week. We talk about Christian pacifism, the ethics of lethal home defense, deontological batman, designs to kill, hunting, and more.
