Class is in session! Take a seat as Kaitlyn tells us all about conspiracy theories. Why do Christians so often gravitate towards them? How do we talk to family members who have fallen down the rabbit hole? Can we trust the news????

Hearing Skye’s brief report on his recent readings about Abraham Lincoln and slavery in the south, I recall a quote either from Skye or his interviewee introducing the “Juneteenth: Are we really free?” Skye sounds like he is nearing the conclusions reached by Frederick Douglass. In his collected writings , Douglass castigates the slaveholding “Christian’s’” religion. He refers to these people as “religionists” who were to be assiduously avoided - to the extent that the enslaved could so do - above all other slaveholders. The preachers were the worst of them all. It’s a powerful read and might qualify as the only - or at least the most authoritative- work introducing white evangelicals to the Black History we never knew.

Love these episodes. Hate the school bell, so I won’t be mad if it doesn’t get replaced 😉😂

I love the episode and insights but I just want to note one thing. “Theory” means “an explanation for observed data”. Good explanations that we use all the time are still “theories” I.e. the theory of electromagnetism

I would say that the pro-slavery Civil War-era people were indeed Christians--bad Christians, heretical Christians even, but they weren't pagan, they weren't Hindu, they weren't Muslims, they weren't atheists. If you asked them what they believed about what defines Christian theology and checked off the list, they'd classify as members of the religion known as "Christianity," not something else. That doesn't mean they truly had Christ in their hearts--but it's the religion that they're being very bad members of. It's like saying that the worst of the Pharisees weren't really members of the religion known as Judaism, etc. (Speaking of pagans, unless someone actually believes in polytheistic or Earth-Mother-type deities, Wicca, etc., they're not pagan. I keep hearing on the show references to "pagans" as if it just means "not Christian.")

I would just like to belatedly say this is an excellent conversation and it would be great if this one could be released into the wild…

Thanks for this comment Nathan! I had the same feedback. One reason it matters: I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard the snarky comment “well evolution is just a theory”

I believe it must also have to do with education. As in college. Or taught to think.

I disagree I did read the Left Behind and 3 studies on Revelation and end times in Daniel.. same view, right or wrong.. IT is a far cry from the Pizza place and Obama and Hillary were kid pediphiles.. That is really bad

Beth Prather

Ok Skye.. Idk the answer except I really have always had HUGE issues with those in the 1960's in the South like KKK. And general public... 100 years later. The masters cut out parts of their Bible I have heard . A slave Bible is maybe in the Bible Museum?

Beth Prather

Also many in the north were also prejudice during this time. I wasn't a live but many books and movies have show it. Still they did much better than the south or those that owned slaves. All or many did not.
