Christianity On The Spectrum

The Problem with Christian Slavery Apologetics


Listen Later

In the last episode, Jon talked about why autistic people often get disillusioned and annoyed with Apologetics and many people reached out to ask about a specific example that could be used to illustrate these points.

This episode tries to give a specific example of the problem with apologetics for autistic people to follow-up to the previous episode by talking about Christian Complicity in Slavery. Jon tries to explain why slavery apologetics are often not convincing to autistic people, often backfire, and then uses his experience talking about this subject with autistics to suggest a possible solution.
