What is the post-truth era?  In this week's boralogue, John looks at the so-called post-truth age and how it's strange that we could have gone from an era where progressives told us there was no such thing as truth to one where we move past it.  They are trying to determine for us who is telling the truth and who is not.  It's a battle for free speech and one that we must win.

Politically correct ideologies are starting to rack up casualties on campuses, including professors.  Michael Rectenwald (www.michaelrectenwald.com), Liberal Studies Professor at NYU, recounts his battle against social justice warriors whose tactics, they say, encourage tolerance but are in fact themselves intolerant.

Senator Mark Warner recently wrote a memo indicating that the government should intervene and regulate online press.  Elizabeth Nolan Brown (www.reason.com), Associate Editor at Reason Magazine discusses how government control of the internet and regulation of social media giants could play out in the future.

On July 19, President Trump called the fake news media the real enemy of the people.  Writer and photographer Henry Scanlon (www.henryscanlon.com) joins us to look at how the press purposefully misleads the public to further their many narratives and how it's possible to be against the fake news media and still be for a free press.

John’s quote of the week:    

"This generation never learned how to think.  And as a result, the only way that is left to enforce their ideas is brute force.  We're seeing the brute force in physical assaults but what is really troubling is the fact that they will not debate, they will not meet, and if any of their people cross the line to try to establish a bridge, they too will be attacked."

Ancient Rome had executions down to a science. No one they killed ever lived again—until the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When God raised Him from the dead, His resurrection guaranteed that those who believe in Him will one day rise as well.

THE DEPRAVITY OF MAN
Chris discusses a new story about an American couple who suffered a tragic death at the hands of members of ISIS while traveling overseas. It was reported that the couple desired to prove that “humans are kind” after declaring that “Evil is a make-believe concept” that was supposedly “invented.” The couple seemed to suffer from a common deception that mankind is inherently good. But what does the Scripture tell us about the nature of man? And how has the principle of man’s depravity from the Christian perspective influenced the Western world?
