In tonight’s episode of the Truth Wanted, Objectively Dan and Brady Hardin wrestle with Supreme Court cases involving church and state separation before taking a deep dive into what it means to be a skeptic. 

Clutch Cargo in TX explains how the challenge of church being separated from state is complicated. He uses several examples including The Little Bird of the Snow vs. the U.S. case, and the Native American Church being able to ingest Peyote. He also brings up the origin of The Plastic Reindeer rule. Brady mentions reading a book that describes things happening decades ago that we recognize as the same types of things happening now. 


Rogueshow in SC wants to explore whether a theist can be a skeptic or not. It is hard to know what people mean when they use this word. Who is to say that skeptics don’t believe in other crazy stuff that defy scrutiny? What would be the conflict between the words, “theist” and “skeptic”? How many people from the flat earth community consider themselves skeptics? The term skeptic can be broadly applied. People who oppose climate change science consider themselves skeptics for instance. Do Christians see themselves as skeptics when it comes to any other belief system? Saying that you are a skeptic within a family of hardcore believers can be somewhat of a badge of honor and can show you are taking a stand. What do you consider yourself skeptical of and why? Dan hits us with a classic piece of wisdom, “The problem with recreational skeptics is when you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” Are you able to doubt or accept an opinion? Can you be a full skeptic and also have an identity that requires faith?


Thank you for joining us this week! Prompt of the week is: What is Jesus’ excuse for not showing up?
