THE VOICE OF REASON
Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
28:00 Surely you don't need to "touch Jesus" to see the nature and purpose of religion?
The Gospel of John records that Jesus invited Thomas to touch his wounds, specifically instructing him to put his finger in the nail marks and his hand into the side wound.
This seems a tad unnecessary.
45:00 You are more likely to get to heaven if you don't think of God as Jesus, according to Jews and Muslims.
46:00 Have you examined any kind of faith apart from Christianity?
47:00 Don't you think you have to be worshiping the correct deity to get to God?
50:00 What have idolaters who worship an executed blasphemer got against fairness and justice?
52:00 Listen to Neal talking like he knows he's got a special invitation to heaven from God.
52:45 The definition of idolatry is not exactly unknown. So sad you don't know any Jews who will tell you straight to your face that you are guilty of idolatry every time you pray to Jesus.
53:00 You're a smart guy, Neal. Surely you understand the concept of idolatry by now? Don't you know any Jews or Muslims who will tell you that it is idolatry and to worship a man?
54:00 Your guest is tired of your insufferable preaching.
The Muslim population in the Philippines has grown in recent years, increasing from 5.6% (approx. 5.1 million) in 2010 to 6.4% (approx. 7.0 million) in the 2020 census.
Current Estimates: As of 2026, post-census projections estimate the Muslim population between 7.3 and 7.8 million, representing roughly 6.3% to 6.7% of the total national population.
Growth Drivers: This growth is driven primarily by higher fertility rates and age structure within Muslim-majority regions like Mindanao and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (BARMM), rather than mass migration.
Regional Concentration: The majority of Filipino Muslims live in the southern Philippines, where the BARMM region is 91% Muslim, while smaller communities exist in urban centers like Metro Manila (particularly Quiapo).
Conflicting Data: While official census data shows steady growth, some government agencies like the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) estimate the population is higher (10–11%), citing difficulties in surveying remote or transient communities.
10:00 No need for existentialism if you already believe in God and obey His Commands.
11:00 Emunah and Bitachon
BRAVE
Emunah and Bitachon
**Emunah** (faith) and **Bitachon** (trust) are foundational Jewish concepts representing distinct but related spiritual states. **Emunah** is defined as the intellectual **knowledge and belief** that Hashem created and continuously manages all of Creation, including the minutiae of daily life. It is a state of understanding that God is involved in the big picture and local details, akin to the Rambam’s definition of faith as knowing the Creator exists and runs the world.
**Bitachon** is the **active trust and reliance** on Hashem’s goodness, wisdom, and care for the individual. While Emunah is the theoretical belief that God is in charge, Bitachon is the emotional and practical confidence that He is good and wise, leading a person to rely on Him rather than their own efforts alone. The **Ramban** describes Emunah as the tree and Bitachon as its fruit; one can have Emunah (like Pharaoh, who believed in God but rebelled) without Bitachon, but true Bitachon requires a deep-seated Emunah.
In practice, **Emunah** is a constant background state of being, whereas **Bitachon** is often an active response aroused during times of uncertainty, danger, or need. **Chabad Chassidic thought** emphasizes that while Emunah accepts that whatever happens is ultimately good, Bitachon demands a trust that tangible, revealed good will manifest. The **Chazon Ish** and other authorities teach that Bitachon is the concrete application of Emunah, transforming belief into a lived experience of security and optimism.

Anabaptists
Modern Anabaptists exist today, with a global population of roughly four million people.
Anabaptism started during the 16th-century Radical Reformation. Groups broke away from both Catholic and Protestant state churches to practice adult "believer's baptism", strict pacifism, and the complete separation of church and state.
Today, the movement is worldwide, with about two-thirds of all Anabaptists living in Africa, Asia, and Latin America rather than North America or Europe.
Major Modern Anabaptist Groups
Mennonites: The largest Anabaptist group, named after the Dutch reformer Menno Simons. They range from modern, mainstream urban churches to traditional groups. Countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia host massive Mennonite populations.
Amish: Descendants of Swiss Brethren who emphasize plain dress and separation from wider society. Many live in distinct rural communities across North America.
Hutterites: Groups that practice communal living and share all property, mostly residing in colonies across western Canada and the northern United States.
Church of the Brethren: A historic peace church that grew out of the German Radical Pietist movement, practicing full immersion baptism.
Bruderhof: An intentional, communal Christian movement founded in the 1920s that shares possessions and follows Anabaptist pacifist traditions.

In addition to the crime of treason, the Treason Felony Act 1848 (still in force today) created a new offence known as treason felony, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment instead of death (but today, due to the abolition of the death penalty, the maximum penalty both for high treason and treason felony is the same—life imprisonment). Under the traditional categorisation of offences into treason, felonies, and misdemeanours, treason felony was merely another form of felony. Several categories of treason which had been introduced by the Sedition Act 1661 were reduced to felonies. While the common law offences of misprision and compounding were abolished in respect of felonies (including treason felony) by the Criminal Law Act 1967, which abolished the distinction between misdemeanour and felony, misprision of treason and compounding treason are still offences under the common law.
It is treason felony to "compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend":
to deprive the sovereign of the Crown,
to levy war against the sovereign "in order by force or constraint to compel her to change her measures or counsels, or in order to put any force or constraint upon or in order to intimidate or overawe both Houses or either House of Parliament", or
to "move or stir" any foreigner to invade the United Kingdom or any other country belonging to the sovereign.
54:00 Henry II: "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
The four knights who murdered Thomas Becket after hearing King Henry II's outburst faced excommunication and were ordered to undertake a 14-year crusade in the Holy Land.
Punishment and Penance
Excommunication: The Pope excommunicated all four knights—Reginald FitzUrse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, and Richard le Bret—shortly after the assassination in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170.
Holy Land Pilgrimage: Pope Alexander III commanded the knights to travel to the Holy Land and serve as knights fighting in the Crusades for 14 years as penance for their crime.
Properties and Titles: Despite fleeing and falling into temporary disgrace, they did not face execution or a standard secular trial by the king, though their actions severely damaged Henry II's political standing and forced the king to perform his own famous penance.
