My Issue with Critical Scholarship27 Apr 202501:33:18

In this episode Jon tries to explain his issues with Critical Scholarship. Admittedly this is a less structured and a more rambling episode, mostly because this is basically two of my special interests colliding which often got me side tracked.

My main issue is that many scholars are saying things with a lot of confidence, and I'm like "IDK, I think things are actually more complicated and historical reconstruction is actually extremely hard to do accurately IRL" and basically say that on a loop for 1:30.

 

Correction: I kept saying "providence" I meant to say provenance" I guess I just had Christianity on the brain a little too much

The Problem with Christian Slavery Apologetics13 Apr 202501:14:31

In the last episode, Jon talked about why autistic people often get disillusioned and annoyed with Apologetics and many people reached out to ask about a specific example that could be used to illustrate these points.

In this episode we didn't cover a very big and important part of the social experience of church for many autistics that deals with high control/high demand religions, we will cover that specifically in a later episode so we have enough time to effectively handle it.
