  • A Great history podcast that makes you think

    Tim O’Neill is a historian who knows what he is talking about. He shines a light of truth on the myths of church history, the medieval ages, and science to give you the listen a better understanding of history. True history buffs would enjoy history that would you think. Tim O’Neill has little patience for nonsense. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone interested in real history.

  • I like the idea and wish this guy's work was done by anyone else. He cherry picks sources to suit his narrative while constantly insulting people. He really needs to chill.

    More than that he's just giving atheists a bad name. He's your typical "internet atheist" evangelizing to any willing to listen.

  • Relax Guy

    There’s some great info here, but the host seriously needs to relax. You want people to listen to you and admit when they’re wrong? Then stop assuming they’re stupid and/or lazy, or have bad motives when they’re misinformed, and then telling them that. Even when you’re telling me something I don’t already know, I still end up wanting to punch you in the face.
