Episode 60: Sad prayer, patriotism and theodicy - listeners' letters and Laura's TIYAHD

Patriotism, prayer for the Big Sad and a port-flavoured man-toe. Lau-Lau, Malky and Jonts answer listeners' letters SUPER late, and discuss British v American Christian patriotism; suffering and the theodicy and whether we are EXvangelicals. So if you want to hear about virgin sacrifice in Oxford, Malky's diagram of healing, scumbag pseudo-Christian newspapers, what Westboro Baptist got right and why one of us is a disgrace, you should listen. It's Christianity without the labels. It's beer for the ear. It's faith, hops and love.  Also, there's an Easter egg at the end that calls for credit to be given because it is based on an original work by Crowander, used under a Creative Commons license.  School Yard by Crowander has been edited and become I'm TIYAHD by MC LauLau. You should check Crowander out.  Also: write to us!  About Beer Christianity Beer Christianity is a left-leaning, evangelical-adjacent Christian discussion podcast that often features interviews and always features a few drinks and laughs.

It's this: Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to teach us a better way to be while reconciling us to God and each other in a way we could never do without Him. He also changed water into wine. Nice.
