Nice vid, and nice to hear I'm not the only one who listens to the terrible and down right despicable Michael Knowles xP

2018-07-06 01:55:42 UTC  

I like the show. I try to catch news sources from a broad spectrum of politics

2018-07-06 03:58:49 UTC  

He's actually pretty damn smart. From two small [I don't want to call debates] intellectual 'skirmishes', he actually really impressed me. Maybe if I get a larger sample size I could rate him against Shapiro debating

2018-07-06 04:00:18 UTC  

I've been trying to get him on my show. I think he'd be a good debate on religion

2018-07-06 04:16:00 UTC  

Oh anything in particular about religion?

2018-07-06 07:16:50 UTC  

I took issue with his episode a couple months ago on "Spiritual, but not religious" because that's how I view myself for reasons completely apart from what he listed

2018-07-06 12:43:02 UTC  

I could be wrong but I think that he's starting from the premise that his religion has a coherent structure to it that is backed by an origin. Having a starting point is usually the ground most debaters fight on

I'm a Christian and I haven't come across solid evidence that Catholicism is the only valid path. So Michael and I aren't fully synced there. I was born a protestant and have recently taken an interest in orthodoxy because it sheds a lot of light on a variety of topics

2018-07-06 15:51:45 UTC  

I haven't found any evidence than any major religion is even a partially valid path. I am spiritual, but not religious, because I draw criticism against the religions of man. I've dedicated a lot of my adult life to studying religion, especially Christianity, and I have found that every denomination interprets the word to keep themselves in power

2018-07-06 15:52:12 UTC  

I am Christian, but I choose not to associate with any church

2018-07-06 15:53:38 UTC  

Okay, I understand where you're coming from. I've always been one for the very small time churches

2018-07-06 15:53:56 UTC  

None of that megachurch nonsense

2018-07-06 15:55:16 UTC  

If they're not talking about bible verses we tend to walk out. Because everything else is unnecessary, for us anyway

2018-07-06 15:58:29 UTC  

yeah, not even the small churches get it right

2018-07-06 15:59:11 UTC  

The small methodist church in the small farming community that I live in....the one my ex goes to, is purely a cult

2018-07-06 15:59:59 UTC  

That's a shame

2018-07-06 16:00:40 UTC  

So is the baptist church that my friend in Kenosha goes to, but if you follow my channel, in the near future you'll get to see that conversation

2018-07-06 16:01:09 UTC  

Its really eye opening for me when I'm used to the good side of things, knowing that there's so much abuse on the flip side

2018-07-06 16:01:18 UTC  

Yeah I'll definitely tune in

2018-07-06 16:01:51 UTC  

Never take the words of Bloggers, Podcasters, or Journalists as Gospel. Find all the facts and draw your own conclusions

2018-07-06 16:02:02 UTC  

^^^^or religious leaders

2018-07-06 16:09:30 UTC  

Absolutely. And well Christianity really holds that truth is revealed to you if you genuinely want to pursue it. While I think it's technically possible for a church/community to 'share' faith with one another, I think that ultimately the personal/spiritual relationship is largely (and perhaps must be) something you possess alone. Leaders should want to encourage personal relationships, not the "you must be one of us" stiik

2018-07-06 16:49:24 UTC  

Ironically, I just called the Democrat/Socialist party a cult

2018-07-06 17:41:08 UTC  

It pretty much is these days, in the mainstream at least
