Truth Tolerance

Relative Worldview

Run from Empty Religion

A show that's a little longer, but we're live as we record the podcast. We try out a couple new segments, and one that probably won't make any comebacks.

For some fun, we take a look at a few headlines to turn tragedy into comedy. Find out what we mean when we wonder about...

* Do monsters or men's suits mind being emotionalally abused by sports teams?

* Why are babies hanging out at gas stations?

* Which is brighter? The headlight, or the driver?

* Are people really excitedly flocking to church on Suncays?

The creepiest of all the unusual news had to do with:

* Investigation when vegetative woman becomes pregnant, and gives birth in her nursing home.

Some words have definitions that are strangly similar, but carry social baggage that makes them opposites. For example...

activism

a doctrine or practice that emphasizes direct vigorous action especially in support of or opposition to one side of a controversial issue

a person who uses or supports strong actions (such as public protests) to help make changes in politics or society

* advocate, apostle, backer,

* champion, evangelist, patron,

* promoter, stalwart, supporter

* crusader, fanatic, ideologue

* militant, partisan, red hot,

* true believer, zealot

* demonstrator, marcher, objector,

* picketer, protester

* dreamer, idealist, visionary

evangelism

* the winning or revival of personal commitments to Christ

militant or crusading zeal

to try to convert (a group or area) to a different religion (especially Christianity)

* lecture,

* platitudinize, preach,

* sermonize

Our final fun segment is defining a word of the week. I'm not sure we do so well, but stay tuned to the end of the show.

We'll share the real definition with you.

Main Topic

We're on a roll with a theme of Relativism, so we take time to discuss a few bullet points common to the claim that morality is relative.

* ”Christianity’s true for you, but not for me.”

* ”That’s just your perspective.”

* ”Who are you to judge that person?”

* You can’t legislate morality.”

* ”You can do whatever you want just as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody.”

* ”Christianity is just one path among many to God.”

Holding to a relative vieewpoint of truth is no truth at all. The best you can say is that opinions, perspectives, or experiences are valid and real. But when those ideas oppose one another, either one person is true, and the other false, or they both are wrong. An outside, objective truth is out there that will make sense of the conflict of personal opinions. Even in a relative world, consistency in morality, orr social judgments require some sort of higher authority.

What about tolerance? By definition, tolerance means truth is involved. Certain measurements are in demand. if you have a bolt with a 3/8 inch diameter, only a nut with a 3/8 inch opening will do. all other sizes are intolerant. They may be a perfect fit in their own uses, but for the matter at hand there is a tolerance to meet, and only one truth will work.

Often the claim is that all views are true, and we need to accept them all. But if I have my vieews, which I hold as true, and you bring your Christian views into the mix, you're wrong, intolerant, bigotted, narrowminded, etc. OK, now who is being judgemental, disrespectful, intolerant , and all the rest? What happened to the idea of all views being true? The idea being communicated is that all other views are to be tolerated, just as long as the view is mine. That isn't rrelative. It isn't tolerant.

Produced by and starring Jimmy David Robbins and Karl Nordman, with Narration by Julie Sooter, this is the first genuine Audio Drama in the Crimson Garnet series. This time, Duane is in Australia.

In the constant search for what others say, and how things look from different world views, Keith has found a video from Youtube where unbelievers offer some of their reasons for what they believe.

We pick off the audio track, and share some of the objections and challenges. You'll hear the full clip, followed by each of us to make observations, and counter problems in the logic used. Believe it or not, we sometimes fully agree with what is being said.

In order to give full attention to what's being said, we don't have time to present all ten statements in one episode. Stand by for the rest, and maybe even more, in future episodes.

For now, enjoy our ideas as we comment on fake religions, and discuss where morality comes from.

* Do you ever feel that religion expects you to blindly follow it?

* Do you feel that religious leaders would prefer you never critisize or challenge the teachings in your religion?

* Do you feel that religion stems from the culture, and is a by product of it?

Maybe it is time to abandon that religion, but don't stop looking for one that's real.

Misconceptions run rampant on both sides of the fence. To pick just one, the question of where morality comes from is very different for the believer and unbeliever.

* Does morality originate from religion?

* Is it really proof to point to those who are in prison, as an indicator of morality?

* What is the top reason for people to move from one church to another?

* Is morality rrelative?

* What exactly is it that's different in how an atheist and a believer identifies morality?

If these are questions that you've been wondering about, listen in to see how an unbeliever answers them. Nathan and Keith share their responses, and point out some valid points to consider on both sides.

Cultivating Great Faith - Preached January 13, 2019 by pastor Nathan Caldwell, Using the analogy of a garden and gardener to show how to train others in the faith.

New format for our show.  We start looking at the Gospel of John.

He was warned, but finally the Doctor (What?) comes face to face with the retrobots for some comedy action from Quest For Truth and Doctor What combined!  

This episode is ONLY the Comedy sketch in full, without the commentary and extra fun.  For THAT, head on over to https://life-truth.com/crossover-rretrobots-meet-doctor-what-200/

A new drug out on the streets....a drug dealer that isn't as successful as his boss wants him to be. The trouble begins!

For an episode where it promised to be a short one, we took our meager feedback and allowed our creative juices to flow.

A multi part drama, where we match Nathan's comedy character from Team Jadeth Live, Doctor What against our own comedy characters, the Retrobots. What kind of trouble will the Retrobots get themselves into? They drag Nathan and Keith along for the ride. Will the Doctor be able to rescue them as they wreak havoc through time, and the bible?

As a bonus, find out how the Retrobots came to be. Keith shares how he got the idea, and developed them for his
