Christian apologist, David Wood, thinks that the STAR TREK episode, Bread and Circuses, somehow refutes the secular nature of the now-iconic television show. In a two-part presentation, I explain how his claim lacks any merit whatsoever. In Part One, I Read more
Ben Shapiro invited Dr. Debra Soh onto his show so that he can use her to attack the very legitimacy of transgender identity. He tries to present himself as being very strong on facts and logic – but this mere Read more
