0:00 - Logical Fallacy: Burden of Proof; DotD: Rob Roy 2:10 - Meat Segment - As promised, this week is all about guns and gun control. You'll hear all the common arguments against guns, and responses to them, and you'll learn the 4 things we must agree on if we're going to make any progress on the issue: Guns are amoral, not immoral. Guns will always be around and you CANNOT get rid of all of them. The 2nd amendment exists so that regular people can defend against a tyrannical government. Any Law you pass restricting gun access will ONLY restrict the gun access of those who obey laws. 52:47 - Old Man Joe: Joe Biden's recent address concerning gun control and his call to congress on specific actions he wants them to take.  1:09:37 - Twitface: A post equating guns and rocks and kids with adults... causse that makes a bunch of sense.  1:20:35 - Hymn Hype: "Not What These Hands Have Done" by Horatius Bonar       

0:00 - No True Scotsman Fallacy; D.o.t.D.: Dalmore 12 yr. 1:43 - Meat Segment - Reviewing a blog post by Dr. Sandra Glahn, (found here: http://aspire2.com/2021/02/the-bible-women-are-more-present-than-we-might-think/) in which she makes the true claim that anthropos doesn't always mean "male" but then makes the wrong application mostly because she is blinded by her agenda and bias. Aren't we all?   44:04 - Three Favorite news stories: (1) Recent shooting in uvalde; (2) A methodist church prays to mother god and sings "Good, Good Mother" (3) Chip Roy rant about $40 Billion dollars sent to Ukraine. 57:02 - Twitface: Somebody asked for a secular church recommendation and I have some thoughts. 1:04:15 - Old Man Joe: "The number one threat is our strength, and that strength that we built is inflation"  1:05:27 - Hymn Hype: "Hiding In Thee" By William Cushings      

0:00 - logical fallacy of the day: Strawman; Drink of the day: Bourbon Godfather made with Balcones Baby Blue 2:07 - Meat Segment: A continuation of the discussion about the physical nature of men and women. Part of the physical nature of women is their ability to conceive and give birth. Related to this is the topic du jour: Abortion. In this meat segment I break down an abortion debate and review the logical chops of each side, highlighting the best logical argument in favor of abortion.  54:25 - 3 Favorite News Stories: 1) A review of the Megan Fox interview with Glamour; 2) Alito's leaked decision on Roe v Wade. 3) Eric Swalwell's Tweet which summarizes all the democrat responses to the leaked decision 1:23:48 - Twitface: A new weight loss program called "Found" claiming that "Obesity is a Disease, Not a Decision." Fact check... not quite.  1:31:04 - Old Man Joe: He accidentally said the true thing "Abort a Child"  1:34:16 - Hymn Hype: The hymn we're hyping today is "O Come O Come Emmanuel" author unknown.      For more content: http://reasonedrefrain.com For other more content: http://mygiveonthings.com To talk back: [email protected]    New episode every week! 

0:00 - No logical fallacy, cause no intro. enjoy the music, Drink of the day: Paulaner Munchen Salvator Double Bock 2:08 - Meat Segment: Some reflections on Easter. What is it about? Why has it become what it is? How do we celebrate it? How should we celebrate it? Where do the bunnies, chocolate, eggs, etc. come from?  18:32 - The Whole Big Mess of news stories from however long it's been... - There are a ton of news stories! I'm gonna trust that you've kept up with the world even when I wasn't. That said, my top 3 that I spend a bit of time talking about are, first, an ICU Nurse posted a picture of a training module in which Obesity is said to have nothing to do with over-eating and lack of exercise. Second, William Thomas, the male swimmer who pretends to be a female in order to beat women at swimming, and the Christian response to transgenderism. Third, a Phoenix priest's baptisms were all invalidated because Roman Catholic Theology concerning Baptism is a bit very unbiblical. 35:49 - Old Man Joe - Joes says Happy Easter, Jill says, "Wave... wave!" Followed by a look at the alternative... A compilation of Kamala confusion. 43:13 - Covid Minute - I've had some pent up complainin today, and the ending of mask mandates on planes helped me to release it.  51:07 - Hymn Hype - "O God, Our Help in Ages Past" by Isaac Watts.       

0:00 - Logical Fallacy: Incoherence; Drink of the Day: Godfather (3 parts scotch, johnny walker 200yr celebratory blend, and 2 parts Amaretto) 1:57 - Meat Segment: Health care is a crock in this country, and it's all about the money, and healthcare professionals can't use basic critical thinking skills and that scares me. Then, some ramblings about Predestination and the will of God, followed by a brief discussion about my impending marriage and what still scares me about it.  31:50 - 3 Favorite News Stories (More or Less) First, the two supreme court decisions made recently concerning vaccine mandates. Second, a woman has a baby... and evidently that's a news story. The reason? The woman in question believes she is a man and is pumping her own body with testosterone, but has not yet mutilated herself. More interesting, though, is what the language surrounding the transgender worldview reveals about the transgender agenda. Third, on the topic of controlling language, The University of Washington is very concerned with the tech nerds using "inclusive" language... but the words they're banning... hmmmm.... 47:38 - Let's Count All the Logical Fallacies: A truly incoherent man tries to prove that whiteness precludes objectivity... or something. 59:59 - Covid Minute:  Rochelle Wolensky accidentally let the cat out of the bag when you compare her words to a chart the CDC produced on January 17th showing that natural immunity is better than vax immunity.  1:08:04 - Hymn Hype: We look at the hymn "Before the Throne of God Above" by Charitee Lees Smith   

Special Episode today, one big meat segment where I have an in studio guest: Pastor Evan McClanahan of First Lutheran Church in Houston TX. We discuss him a bit, then get into some of the practical points of Lutheran Theology. Where do they disagree with mainstream Evangelicalism? How does a conservative remain so in the Lutheran Church? What is wrong with the local church today and how do we fix it? We talk about it all here!    For more content: http://reasonedrefrain.com For other more content: http://mygiveonthings.com To talk back: [email protected]    New episodes every... whenever I'm able to record them, okay? Gimme a break! 

0:00 - Logical fallacy today: False Cause; Drink of the day: Dalmore 12 year, neat 2:13 - Meat Segment: We often hear the story of Noah summarized including a mention of the peer-pressure that Noah endured as he built the ark, like a lunatic, following God's word with no reason to believe it. The problem? None of that's in there... I went ahead and read the whole Noah narrative so that you could hear for yourself what God wanted emphasized (primarily through repetition) as opposed to the cultural reading of, "Noah stood up to peer pressure by faith, and you can too!" Additionally, I walk through some basic hermeneutics and how to avoid this sort of a problem. 25:12 - Three Favorite News Stories: First, we discuss AOC's inability to avoid hypocrisy... or maybe it's not hypocritical at all to go to Florida, because Socialists are pretty open about the fact that the rules they make for the pleebs don't apply to them. Second, how is everyone just swallowing this inflation? It's insane! Third, a full percent of Americans quit their jobs, which both gives me hope and makes me sad all at the same time.  35:07 - Twitface: One of those, "God is saying to you today..." posts actually is saying some true things... though I don't think it realizes.  43:00 - NEW SEGMENT!! Twit Ace: I try to be optimistic with a shoutout to truth.  44:34 - Covid Minute: Everyone is getting omicron... and the mask is slipping. A story in Antarctica proves this fact.  52:27 - Hymn Hype: "How Firm a Foundation" author unknown!    For more content: http://reasonedrefrain.com For other more content: http://mygiveonthings.com To talk back: [email protected]    New episodes every Friday at 6am CT.      

0:00 - The fallacy Fallacy and, drink of the day, Tobermory, an unpeated spice forward single malt. Worth Checking out for the non-scotch drinker.  2:33 - Meat Segment: Pew Research shows that Modern America is becoming less Christian. Is that accurate? If so, what do we do about it? How can WE solve the problem? What even is the problem? Can a New Year's Resolution really make a change?  33:03 - 3 Favorite (More or Less) News Stories: 1) Amy Schneider, a man, is the highest paid "female" jeopardy champion in history... Even in the realm of trivia, women are losing out to men at being the best women. (2) Hospitals fired a bunch of nurses who refused the jabby jab, and now, surprise, they're short staffed! Who'd've thunk? (3) Joe Biden says the Federal government can't solve the problem after saying that only Federal government could solve the problem. 40:44 - Old Man Joe - A caller insulted Joe Biden right to his face, and he didn't realize it, and he needs to retire because it's getting quite sad.  51:12 - Hymn Hype - "Abide with Me" by Henry Lyte.    For more content: http://reasonedrefrain.com For other more content: http://mygiveonthings.com To talk back: [email protected]    New episodes every Friday at 6am CT.    

0:00 - Logical Fallacy: Loaded Question; Drink of the Day: Classic Negroni 2:17 - Meat Segment AND Twitface - A church Christmas Eve Service ad on facebook really set me off. The quintessential example of the "hip" church which pats people on the back as they head to hell... at least from all appearances. Additionally, some discussion on the requirement of the Virgin birth and whether or not it is intrinsic to Christianity.  28:59 - One Favorite News Story from the last week: George Orwell's estate has approved the writing of a feminist retelling of 1984, and Webster's is redefining irony to include a picture of the cover of this book.   32:00 - NEW SEGMENT! "A Book By It's Cover" - Or in this case, a conference by its website. We take a look at the lineup of the "Climb" leadership conference and discuss the breakout sessions and inherent problems with the philosophies guiding the conference participants.  43:15 - Covid Minute - Outgoing Head of the National Institute of Health said so-long in a way that was entirely fitting of the NIH, a farcical institution whose logo can and should be changed to a rainbow clown wig wearing floppy red shoes. Additionally, President Biden warns the unvaxxed that they're horrible terrible people who will die painful deaths this winter. A cheery fellow. 52:59 - Old Man Joe - He;s been using the word "Expodentially" for about a hundred years, and it's just now being corrected.  54:55 - Hymn Hype - "Silent Night" by Joseph Mohr.      For more content: http://reasonedrefrain.com For other more content: http://mygiveonthings.com To talk back: [email protected]    New episodes every Friday at 6am CT.
