I feel like you should've included something by Isaac Asimov. He is an enormous force in science fiction and his Foundation Series should be read by everyone.
One of the most balanced commentaries I've heard. I am a legal immigrant and my process to be admitted in the country is not over and hasn't been easy at all. I come from a Latin American country, but the way illegal immigration has been handled in the last 5 years, not only is like mocking me and all the struggles I had to go through, but also has been harming other illegal immigrants that really need help and come with the best of intentions. Thank you, Trent, for such a great episode.
As soos as I read the title of today's episode, I sent it to my husband. I knew he would enjoy it because he plays music in church and he hates all those and other hippie hymns. Thanks very much, Trent.
Trent, I grew up with bananas in the backyard and we had so many, that I got bored of eating bananas. But I like banana bread and other pastries with bananas.
I did this pilgrimage in 2024! Absalutly amazing experience. The last mile as you walk up the hill to the Abby, the bells were ringing and it felt like being called home. One of the top 3 moments in my life.
I hate to say it, but there is actually good reason to believe that the sound of freedom movie is actually a big grift. for example the fact that the story it covers is fabricated and paints an inaccurate picture of the issue of trafficking. the court documents are public, you can check them yourself. also OUR has gotten in trouble a lot for exaggerating and embellishing their claims
I absolutely agree. I prefer knowledge over a degree though, so I'm learning by listening to podcasts and other materials profs create and post for free. I'm not paying $10,000 a year to be called a biggot.
wow was not expecting to hear Gods name in vain here.
strange for a priest to call using wrong pronouns a sin...and then to suggest using wrong pronouns for Catholic leaders. So he sees this action as sinful...and yet also encourages people to do it. Pretty terrible thing for a priest to do. It's sophomoric and yet also sinful to encourage others to sin or even to try sinning.
so Trent Horn won't let Tim Gordon finish stating his side. I've always thought Trent had more respect than that. I will pray for him.
Had not considered this, appreciate this very much it calibrates my POV. Will watch that documentary!
My husband was forced to take two weeks of vacation even though he really wasn't very ill with the "Vid". I was the most sick of the 6 in our family, including an infant, who all got it in the same week. But, 6 months later, we are all still here to talk about it. :)
interesting information and diabollcally brilliant. Especially that last bit about making it seem you were born gay instead of the complex environmental factors being the reason. wow! I pray Christian hearts will be prepared to work the fields for the countless wounded souls who need healing from the twisted lies
Trent, I started listening to this episode. But after hearing a couple of James Wihite's weak arguments, I got bored and couldn't hear anymore. I gave the episode my like because others may benefit from it, though.
excellently explained
Just one thing about tv programs for girls. I grew up watching many of those cartoons you mentioned, and as a girl, I never had problems saying something like, "this is for boys, not for me". Unfortunately, much of the stuff directed to girls is really bad and cheesie, and sexist. Probably, the things I can remember were more for girls, but even boys watched with us were My Little Pony and Care Bears in the 80s. But I grew up watching many action cartoons. By the way, I loved the Batman animated tv series from the 90s.
I agree with no TV-baby-sitting. I love taking kids to the park or to the outdoors. My greatest memories were playing outside. Kids nowadays need to go back to the outdoors and play like kids.
Tim is 100% correct. Trent uses tactics to try and discredit his arguments but fails to.
As a former Southern Baptist I still use the King James as my primary personal reading Bible. I am sorry, but in my opinion, the King James is just a masterpiece and pinnacle of literary genius. I do read from time to time the Douay Rheims but it seems clunky to me. the literal hard adherence of translation of the Latinisms into English can make the text difficult at time. In regular Catholic settings I use the RSVCE 2.O or John Kohlenberger III "Precise Parallel New Testament" (8 translations). I do not and will not read the the NABRE. Very difficult from being raised in high Elizabethan English to common modern English you find in a newspaper. Modern Catholicism has lost the sense of beauty all around. Hence the Church today. Especially in language. It's manifest in the modern translations and the Liturgy. Good podcast!
I love 80s music. You must have an episode about it.
