David explains how civilizations are usually founded upon violence and how we often rely on violence to sustain our societies. The injection of Jesus’ non-violent, self-sacrificial spirit into […]
“Right now, we have rich communists and socialists–hand-in-hand with big corporations–hijacking people’s justice.” Host Gornoski compares socialism to the stiff crust of cheap pizza which nobody wants but big corporates.
