Atheist
Seth does an amazing job and is the reason I stay true to the cause
Expose Christian Schools
Longtime listener here but first time commenting. Today’s podcast on the indoctrination and straight up lies being taught to children through programs such as the A.C.E. left me wondering how it ever gained approval by educational oversight. With more Christian’s choosing to homeschool this serious lack of proper education doesn’t bode well for the future of the U.S.
Good stuff
Serious topics with a dash of fun, and all ways on point
