About Facing The Gates
From the publisher's feed
In the modern world, the topic of religion has become something of a heated subject. The divide between the religious and secular worldviews has grown into a chasm, and having conversations on the…
topic has become practically taboo in many places. But does it have to be that way? Enter your hosts, the lifelong friends Bailey, David, and Michael - a Christian, Atheist, and Agnostic Theist respectively. In this podcast, we compare and contrast the plausibility of the religious and secular worldviews…without the unnecessary harshness that is usually part of the deal with this subject. Does it make sense to be a Christian? Does Atheism account for all that matters? Should we be forced to make an allegiance to a particular religion, or is it better to become spiritual? Join us in our discussions to find out for yourself.
