    Loved the show. Never have listened, but I’ll be a following now. JL is brilliant. Dan, a talented host. Real conversation, without the stereotypical atheist anger. Well done.

  • The name couldn’t be further from the truth

    While they claim to seek the truth they only want to bolster the “truth” as they see it. As a long time atheist it shames me that these are the kind of people that represent me online.
