Piercing the Darkness podcast

Over the past few years I have subscribed to a podcast called Piercing the Darkness. by Derek and Sharon Gilbert.

This couple put out a half hour to hour podcasts covering various issues with as they term it a "Christian perspective". Now ordinarily this is seemingly harmless and would appeal to folks who are Christian and occasionally others who listen to what another is saying even thought their personal beleifs might differ.

Well if you happen to catch any of these long enough and that would be exactly a single episode and if you aren't some brainwashed mind controlled fundie or evangelicalista the reporting and facts become quite clear they are simply inventing them as they need to support their stories.

The most humorous interviews are those that feature folks like fundie whack jobs Russ Dizdar and Patrick Herron. These two are especially disconnected from reality in that they make the most outrageous claims and then spout dark ages based reliance that would have even the worst Inquisition member stand up and scream BS! There are others but these suffice to illustrate the ignorance and stupidity inherent in this podcast.

The Gilberts for quite some time even had a Forum ( they turned it over to another person under their control) and invited listeners to comment claiming the entire time to be for factual and truthful discussion. Well that all sounds good until you get to the part of factual and truthful and that is where the whole thing dissolves into conflict with their fundie beliefs. It results in suspending anyone and then blocking them from commenting where the person commenting is able to support their arguments and opinions and the Gilberts being found to have gone as far as fabricating their facts and on several occasions been caught lying only to be proved liars and then trying to cover it up!

So remember when listening to those "Christian" podcasts you have to make sure they are True Christians that actually follow the teaching of Christianity and not like Derek and Sharon Gilbert who can't handle the truth and run away to avoid further emabarassment from those who can argue and back up their comments, unlike those Gilberts who have to invent their stories and then when caught can't hang.

So for a good laugh go to the forum and let them know that True Christians don't lie and then hide they hang in there and deal with reality like normal people.

Do keep in mind that if you happen to register on their forum and are capable of putting forth arguments that they don't agree with and unable to refute, you will be suspended and barred from posting on it.
