ANOTHER DECONVERSION STORY --THIS ONE FROM "CHRISTIAN ARTIST" DC TALK (0:00-13:55)

Kevin Max from 1990s Christian subculture fame recently announced he is an "Exvangelical" but that he still follows the "Universal Jesus" -- whatever that means. He also offered a lot more of nonsensical word soup that demonstrates whatever Jesus he's following, it isn't the Biblical one. I'll provide details and respond.

THINKING BIBLICALLY ABOUT THE MOST RECENT CONFLICT IN ISRAEL (13:55-27:06)

I'm sure this segment won't make anyone angry... but I do need to respond to how I see Christians on social media responding to the nation of Israel regarding geopolitical matters. 

WHAT ARE THE MORAL VIRTUES (27:06-35:37)

Jonathan Haidt and other social scientists from the University of Virginia surmised almost ten years ago that the difference in political Right and Left emanate from the two sides focusing on different factors that make up morality as a whole. I recently came back across their system and have some thoughts to share.

A MAJOR RIGHT-LEFT DIVIDE (35:37-37:35)

While talking about the segment above, I got distracted and took two minutes to talk about one major reason Right and Left differ. Rightism recognizes that the natural state of nature is disorder, destitution, poverty, and striving to survive. Leftism supposes the state of nature is actually good and plenteous -- there are just powerful people wrecking it.

BACK TO THE MORAL VIRTUES (37:35-45:27)

We finish off the talk on care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and sanctity.
