   256 Death Penalty is a broken punishment (following botched execution of Christa Pike)

   My thoughts on the death penalty in America and how it doesn't work on many levels, following two botched legal injections of Christa Pike, who would be the first woman in 200 years of the Tennessee to be executed. (As of this video the news only was that she survived due to degraded drugs.)

   255 I was wrong about Mormons & didn't walk my talk (Apology to Latter Day Saints)

   I recently made a 2 hour video criticizing the Boom of Mormon, only to realize I'd never questioned the Protestant propaganda about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I'd been fed all my life. I was always taught to question everything in society, and its a theme of this channel, but never question that Mormons are bad. Yet, I didn't know anything they believed. The realization was horrifying. This is my confession and apology. Pre-recorded, live 9/26/2026. 0:00 – Overview of my controversial Book of Mormon review video 1:45 – Meeting Missionaries (thank you Sisters Johnson of Utah & Kelly of Ireland!) | Christian mindgames 4:54 – Sick feeling due to posting my video | watching pro-Mormon youtube videos 7:26 – Advice to Christians on how to win arguments 9:00 – Realized I had filled my video with cliches I hadn't thought about, repeated Protestant Propaganda talking points | never questioned LDS church | felt like a fool 14:37 – Never studied Mormonism to back up my opinions or find truth 18:01 – Closing thoughts This podcast was a 2025 People's Choice Podcast Award nominee.
