It's the story everyone's been talking about since last Friday when the Summer Olympics opened with a decadent pagan festival that righty angered and offended Christians and other people of faith the world over. Co-host Lincoln Brown and I discuss this in depth—why did they think they could get away with it, and what's the right way to respond when the culture goes utterly sideways?
We took a brief detour into the 2002 Olympics, which were held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Lincoln shares his personal experience with those games, and we fondly recall when Mitt Romney did something great for his country by saving the Olympics. That was back when the opening and closing ceremonies were designed to uplift and inspire rather than tear down and degrade. It was more about the good, the true, and the beautiful than the profane, the offensive, and the ugly. The U.S. will get another chance to throw a great Olympics when the Winter Games return to Utah in 2034.
My esteemed co-host and I also talked about why liberal churches are empty. We rounded things out with some recent comments Donald Trump made about Christians voting.
