“God Needs Demons”: It's in the Code, Episode 103 (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

“Why so angry?” 

That’s the question many people have when confronted by Christian and social conservatives who have different views on politics, religion, or policy than they do. We understand the differences.

In this episode, Dan reflects on this question, arguing that conservative Christian theology effectively demands that they demonize their opponents to justify what they view as God’s commands for society.
