On this episode, in the aftermath of the recent mail bombs sent to prominent democrats and the mass shooting at a Pittsburg synagogue, we decided we would concentrate more on the fallout than the events themselves. We start off with a short impromptu discussion about the upcoming elections, then transition into a discussion about Kellyanne Conway's poor attempt to redirect the blame for the Pittsburg shooting away from her boss to an "anti-religiosity" in pop culture. Next we discuss two events that didn't go so well for the administration, Jeff Sessions getting heckled by Christian ministers, and VP Pence sharing the stage with a Messianic "Rabbi" invoking Jesus the Messiah during a prayer for the victims of the Pittsburg synagogue massacre. We wrap up with a light hearted look at Christian Television and what we love about it. Lastly we add a third name to our (growing) list of open invitations to join us on the show.
