Good show guys! I think this interview could best be described as a *relaxed sigh*.
I’ve heard more of the “Relax guys, they’re not all bad” from Evangelicals talking about Secularist, etc. than the other way around.
I do think interacting with non-believers goes WAY better in-person than online.
Thanks for listening Josh. I’ve heard more of that from evangelicals as well but it probably has more to do with where I exist and who I’m surrounded by than anything else. And yes, typically the comments on most websites should be avoided!
