#39: Sun-fire Bio genesis and Life After Brexit

As Solar Weather doused earth in it's attacks 4 billion years ago, Chris Squared discuss a new article about how the origins of life may have formed. They quickly move toward a discussion about 30 biblical contradictions where Christopher helps Chris figure out the Hermeneutics of a few of these passages. The fun quickly turns serious though as they talk about the politics behind the Georgia's KKK group trying to adopt a highway. And if that is not enough, they finish strong discussing their support of #BlackLivesMatter and how it ties together with the Chilcot Report and Brexit.

This episode is dedicated to Samantha Bannister and #TeamTinyDancer. Support them on their gofund me as Samantha fights for her life.

#38: Christian Mingle/Ensomniak Interview

Are you sure that Jesus wants you to date the same people that super-profitable dating site wants you to date? This week Chris and Christopher talk about the ChristianMingle.com LGBT equality issue from a different angle than anyone else, who owns ChristianMingle and are they in it for God or the cash. Also we go to 11 for music this week with special guest Ensomniak to discuss his secular rap album and outright godless verses. And, we close with a light hearted discussion about whether your fit bit is lying to you.
