The Cross Examiner Podcast

What do Edwin Meese and the (latest) Trump indictment have in common? The answer may surprise you!
In this episode, I read an unpublished essay of mine from 2020 that has suddenly become relevant, again due to Trump's latest indictment. Fair warning, you will find no ranting about religion in this episode. Instead I focus on my theme of people in power spreading misinformation about the legal system and government in order to deceive the public.

I am super excited to be able to bring you this interview with Ryan Jayne of the Freedom From Religion Foundation!

Please support them any way that you can!
In this part of the interview, we focus on faith healing in the United States and how it is killing children.

TCE Rocket Docket S01E11 - Pastor Wants Christian Suicide Bombers

I am starting a new type of segment called “The Rocket Docket.” These will be shorter episodes discussing news of the day.

Today, we listen to far-right Nashville pastor Kent Christmas tell his followers that they should be willing to “die for their beliefs” just like Muslim suicide bombers who “strap bombs to their chests.”

I am not exaggerating.

Transcript

AUTOMATED TRANSCRIPT
Speaker A: What's the difference between a good lawyer and a bad lawyer? A bad lawyer makes your case drag on for years. A good lawyer makes it last even longer.

Speaker B: Welcome to the Cross examiner podcast, the Internet's courtroom in the case of rationality versus religion. Here, our host uses his experience as both an attorney and an atheist to put religion on trial. We solemnly swear that it is the most informative, educational, and entertaining jury duty
