In this podcast we’ll explore the issue of the major U.S. political parties from a Biblical perspective, with those 2 parties being the Republican and Democrat parties.

And we’ll conduct that exploration by defining a topic, comparing that topic to the Scriptures, and then grading both of the major political parties against that topic, giving a grade for each on a scale of 0-10.  Then, at the end when the dust settles, we’ll see if Christians can honorably vote for both or either party.

The following is taken from the main body of Episode 1 of my NUCLEAR PASTOR: Critical Mass podcast…

In this podcast we’ll explore the issue of extraterrestrial life.  UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) have long been the subject of interest and speculation here on planet Earth, but with the recent release by the U.S. government of previously hidden and/or classified videos and testimony concerning such phenomena (now known as UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), interest in this area has skyrocketed.  Such interest (and, admittedly, it is an amazingly interesting topic), and the conclusions of many in this field can cause a great deal of consternation for those of Biblical faith, and so a truly Biblical exploration of this topic is in order.
