I would say debate is all over the news, except what they're doing on the news isn't debate. It's brinksmanship. If any of them at any point cared about their values, the point has passed where it even matters to get anything accomplished. We can't change how our country is run. All we can do is talk, and listen. Conversation never hurts. Finding yourself with an understanding of the other side doesn't mean you have to accept it. It just makes it harder to de-humanize them. We're all just people trying to live the best we can.
With that in mind, this month, I challenge Mario on the very basis of the Bible. We both believe the Bible is an important book in human history. Beyond that, we get into so many issues, we had to split the episode in two parts. I hope to have the next part up in a few weeks.
Feel free to tell us what you think in the comments, but please, keep it civil. We encourage conversation and debate, but we reserve the right to delete any comment we find antagonistic, aggressive, or mean. There are plenty of other places on the Internet to get into a fight. Feel free to comment with topics you'd like us to cover in the future.
