In this week's show our guest is Caleb Stewart Davis, a youth minister who has his own podcast. Caleb is an apologist for the modern evangelical Christian movement which is often associated with supporting Jews and Judaism. As many fringe Christian groups are involved in Antisemitic attacks on religious Jews in the U. S. we must look for answers among Christianity's scriptures which are often used as a justification for this hatred. Caleb's knowledge of the first century became a handy resource in our conversation as we tried to make sense of Jesus' tension with fellow Jews and try to solve some of the misunderstandings that have created a propensity among Christian circles to judge all Jews harshly.

After a near-fatal car accident, Fama has focused on seeking unity through breaking down barriers surrounding ‘sticky’ subjects. Investigating themes of meaning, memory, identity, and change, she’s interested in exploring the tension inherent in our collective desire for the temporal and timeless. Recently, curiosity drove her to create/ask What Is Love, a project in which she drove across North America in an RV/pop-up photo studio, individually collaborating with over 300 passersby. This investigation of love took her to death; the two are so intertwined. As a result, Fama started investigating death, finding more connection to joy and serenity than expected in the process. View her current project here: www.deathconversationgame.com. Born in Tennessee, raised in Ontario and Zimbabwe, Fama is currently working out of Vancouver BC.

We return to our discussion of what led the Poway Synagogue Shooter (a devout Christian) to harm a group of Jews at a Chabad Synagogue. Our guest is acclaimed Christian author and theologian Michael Heiser. During our program Dr. Heiser disavows anyone who uses the Christian Bible to justify any act of violence. He educates us about the difference between legitimate Christians and illegitimate ones since the teachings of Jesus according to him do not promote being vengeful or violent against people who do not share the same beliefs. On this episode we focus on the Westboro Baptist Church, Bible verses used to justify hatred and better ways to interpret them.Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

Years ago a New Testament scholar told me that every time he went to an Interfaith event, his Jewish colleagues complained that he would say Antisemitic things in their presence. He was so tone-deaf to their concerns that he could not hear his bias and insensitivity.In Christian circles it has become commonplace to dismiss and criticize Jews and Judaism. Often a lack of education regarding the development of the New Testament narratives leads to all types of Antisemitic tropes which are meant to ridicule and subjugate minority religions such as Judaism.These criticisms often come from a desire to evangelize Jews, but at times it crosses the line between normative Christian perspectives to the same Anti-Jewish or Antisemitic polemics used by Church Fathers, Roman Catholic Inquisitors and Protestant dogmatists throughout history .One of these tropes is the “Synagogue of Satan” concept which is discussed on the following episode of a Christian podcast:https://archive.org/details/4thWatchWithJustenFaullTexeMarrsT

In this week’s show we continue our conversation with Brian Dunning. The host of “Skeptoid: Critical Analysis of Pop Media” he shares about how conspiracy shows are supporting flawed thinking for people who already have preconceived notions about some topics. We call this episode “The Alex Jones Factor” as many similar conspiracy theorists and “entertainers” have sprung up all over the AM radio. One of these programs is “Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis” who in their February 6, 2019 show discussed racist and destructive ideas such as the so called invasion of Muslims and Chinese from Canada and the coming race war pushed by supremacists. We also discuss Mr. Dunning’s confrontation with Joe Rogan after writing a report on how Rogan was part of the "Then Most Wanted: Celebrities who Promote Harmful Pseudoscience" and how these shows will say anything to get ratings being irresponsible and sensationalistic.Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.
