In this episode, we explore one of the most dangerous illusions in modern politics: the belief that evil only exists on the other side.

Drawing on theology, history, and political philosophy, this episode examines how moral certainty — not malice — so often becomes the gateway to corruption. When people become convinced that their cause is righteous, their opponents irredeemable, and their intentions pure, restraint disappears and power begins to justify itself.

From cancel culture and political purges to surveillance states and authoritarian impulses, the same pattern emerges again and again: both the Left and the Right fall prey to the same temptation. Each believes that if power must be wielded, it will be wielded responsibly — because it is in the “right” hands.

Using biblical imagery, historical examples, and a reflection on the enduring symbolism of Tolkien’s One Ring, this episode argues that the greatest political danger is not evil itself, but the belief that we are immune from it.

This is not an argument for moral relativism or political apathy. It is a call for humility, self-examination, and the recognition that no movement, ideology, or party is beyond corruption.

Because while God may belong to neither party, the devil has always been willing to play both sides.

Why did Adolf Hitler despise Christianity but tolerate — and even benefit from — atheism? In this episode, we explore the historical and philosophical reasons behind Hitler’s hostility toward the Christian faith, and why Christianity posed a far greater threat to Nazi ideology than unbelief ever did.

Drawing on historical records, speeches, and Nazi policy, this episode explains:

• Why Christianity threatened Hitler’s vision of absolute state power
• How Nazi ideology sought to replace Christian morality with racial and political loyalty
• Why atheism posed no obstacle to authoritarian rule
• What this reveals about the relationship between faith, freedom, and tyranny
• How these lessons still matter in modern political debates

This episode challenges the lazy assumption that religion is inherently dangerous to society and instead argues that Christianity, in particular, has historically been one of the strongest barriers to totalitarianism.

In this episode, we explore what atheists can learn from the way lawyers and jurors actually reason about evidence.

Drawing on a real murder trial, we explain how rational judgment is rarely about scientific certainty and almost always about weighing cumulative evidence. Courts do not demand laboratory proof; they demand reasonable conclusions. Yet when the question turns to God, many atheists suddenly impose a standard of certainty that no courtroom—and no human life—could ever meet.

We examine how evidence really works, why dismissing individual facts in isolation is a category error, and how the legal concept of burden of proof exposes a fundamental weakness in modern atheistic arguments. We also clarify the persistent confusion between belief and faith, showing that Christianity does not ask us to believe without evidence, but to follow evidence to its conclusion—and then decide whether we are willing to trust what that conclusion implies.

This is not an argument against reason or science. It is an argument for using them honestly. Faith, properly understood, does not begin where evidence ends; it begins where trust becomes necessary.
