A weekly show about the trending news of the week. I take something from the media feeds that looks like it might be important for everyone to know about and I give you my take on the related news stories I use to back up my thoughts. I also have the occasional guest that I interview that have views in line with the news of the week.
This little over half hour commentary is part of the continuing series of the failing empire of the United Staes. In this segment today, I read a satirical article that describes how commercial the U.S. has become. I read a transcript of the first amendment of the U.S. constitution and offer details on how bad the U.S. looks on the global theatre. The U.S. has made a lot of bad decisions in the last sixty-five years and things don't look good going forward.
I have an hour long interview with a young man who wrote a book debunking the Christian Bible and to a degree, the Jewish Torah, the old testament chapters to be more precise. We talk about his book and theology as it applies to the Christians around the world in all of their variations of this religious faith. We delve into some ancient history and an encouragement for students of Christian theology to read this book as it is an eye opener. It is short but very informative.
First, I can't apologize enough for missing my deadline on Wednesday. This week has been an absolute scheduling nightmare. Now that my Mea Culpa is out of the way, let me tell you what happened and a little about this week's show. I had originally planned to have an interview with someone about his book that debunks the bible but at the last minute (after a couple of previous tries), he postponed and that set of a domino effect on the rest of the week's schedule. I had to put this commentary together in a hurry last Tuesday and I worked into the night trying to get a rough draft together in time for Wednesday. After recording this show and crafting newsletters, by Wednesday night, I was knackered and I forgot to post this on rss.com. In the show I give a brief religious and political history of the U.S., and outline some what if scenarios if certain events in American history had taken a different direction. The current U.S. might look a lot different than it does now. I also talk about the current situation the U.S. finds itself in with the world turning against them and a possible future if the people don't do something soon.
Today, I offer you my commentary on the state of the American empire. How it is fading away into the history books, like the empires of old. The Romans, Persians, Ottomans and so on. The U.S. has dug itself a deep grave and, with this latest business of supporting the genocide in Gaza, is now preparing itself for a funeral. Unless the voters can effect some major changes in November, the U.S. will go down in the history books as another faded empire.
I hosted Mark Alsip, an author who wrote Journey to Reason. A book about his journey away from Christian fundamentalism. We talk about religious fundamentalism across the world, politics, and other related topics. Come in and give us a listen. I did have some audio issues, which I apologize for. Now corrected for any future shows.
