Kresta in the Afternoon – August 16, 2023 – Hour 1

Guest Host Marcus Peter discusses the history of bad ideas and bad consequences with Joseph Pearce, and David Bonagura has ideas for building an evangelistic culture.

 

Bad Ideas have Bad Consequences

The Enlightenment’s misreading of man and history has led to a reductionist understanding of human society. This, in turn, has led to the reduction of the human person to that of being a mere subject, or dare we say, guinea pig. The consequences of such a bad idea are clear enough. It leads and has led already to the crushing of humans in the name of humanity. We’ll talk more about it with Joseph Pearce.
