Questions for the Week:
- Orlando, up until last year was home to "The Holy Land Experience", a theme park (shocker for Orlando) where people could come and relive the life of Christ and other Biblical stories. HLE has been sold recently and is soon to be demolished, but I still drive by it on the interstate and it still turns my stomach a bit. I know that it's not the only religious theme park in the United States that operates at a profit, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on these theme parks, museums, and other tourist traps that use faith to draw people in and make a profit.
- We know you like to talk about the latest hit shows and movies on the podcast. Over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, one of the latest movies folks are talking about is the Netflix movie Don’t Look Up. The movie is a satirical comedy about the end of humanity due to a comet crashing into earth. The film has had people talking about it not actually being “funny” because the way it depicts politics and society is actually very on point. What are your thoughts? |

Guest Question:
We've all seen toxicity on the internet particularly on social media in comments feeds. People will make mean comments that don't have anything to do with the original post just to be a "troll". Often they are criticizing the person or the organization that made the post or content for the sake of expressing their own view point. Does anyone have guidance about how to handle these situations with grace?
