RBP 246: This World Has Gone Bonkers: Jamaican Pastor, Halloween, SCOTUS Dog, and Dads
Episode 246 Bonkers - 20 What does a Jamaican cult leader, Halloween, and the Supreme Court's ruling on a dog all have in common? They are all examples of how our world has gone bonkers! On this episode, we will discuss a pastor in Jamaica who was able to twist the scriptures and create a cult that had members killing one another and opening fire on the police. Though the pastor is to blame, shouldn't we also blame the congregants who remained ignorant of the scriptures? We also consider occultic Halloween advertising and Kirk Cameron's positive stance on Halloween and ask: should Christians celebrate Halloween or abstain? Some Christians say it is a harmless opportunity for local outreach, while others will go so far as to shut off the porch light to discourage trick-or-treaters! Where do you fall on the spectrum? What about a case about an unfriendly dog that made it all the way up to the Supreme Court? Don't our justices have better things to do with their time? Join us on this episode to discuss these bonkers headlines and more!
