Restored Truth Mocked Tim Stratton's Debate... Our Response

from The Freethinking Podcasts · host Tim Stratton and Josh Klein

Recently, Dr. Tim Stratton joined  @TheWaywithBrianDavila  alongside fellow Protestants Micah and Marcus to debate three members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS/Mormon). Afterward, the LDS channel  @RESTORED_TRUTH  published a reaction video that repeatedly targeted Tim personally rather than substantively. In this video, Tim and Josh respond point by point, clarify what actually happened in the debate, and address the claims made in that reaction.
