Train Wrecks for Jesus. Episode 28: The Witch Trials of J K Rowling

This week we have both been listening to a seven-part documentary on Spotify called 'The Witch Trials of J K Rowling.' It's by Megan Phelps-Roper a former member of Westboro Baptist Church, the incredibly right-wing church which lays down Hebrew Testament law without mercy.

The documentary focuses on our need to hate and to blame - and even more critically, our increasing resistance to even consider listening to a point of view that differs from our own. We would prefer to cherry-pick our facts according to our trained-in biases and refuse to see a wider picture.

We hope that we have discussed some of the many points in this documentary with fairness and openness and we invite you to listen to it yourself and THEN comment. Thank you.
