Mystic-skeptic Radio Show

In this week's show we interview author Dr. Rick Patterson. We discuss politics, raising children from different ethnic backgrounds and how to influence the world for the better. A quote from his first book: “While my doctoral dissertation was based on how shame motivates and manipulates our lives, it’s been my experiences in corporate America, professional ministry, and as an adoptive father our four African American children that have led me to a new understanding of the power shame has over our lives and the daily decisions we make.  I have seen the effects of shame in my own destructive decisions from breaking my hand punching a wall to entering professional ministry.  It’s my hope that I can bring awareness to this hidden ‘killer’ so we can go about disarming it before it does any more damage.”Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.

In this week's show we discuss the disgusting new song by "Ye" aka Kanye West called "Heil Heitler". In our a monthly rant we delve into the reasons why Russell Brand and others are supporting this vitriol against the Jews."The song features a synth-heavy and orchestral instrumental, including marching band styled drums during its bridge. For the hook, West and his group the Hooligans chant "All my niggas Nazis, nigga, heil Hitler." West's first verse details the current state of his life, including his custody battle and the freezing of his assets, using them as justification for why he "became a Nazi". The song ends with a sample taken from a 1935 Adolf Hitler speech. The speech is in German, and translates to:"If you consider the work I'm doing to be right, if you think I have been diligent, that I have worked, that I have advocated for you this year, that I have spent my time honestly in the service of my people, then cast your vote! If so,

We start a new tradition, a monthly rant. A sermon, speech or discussion about the world and how we can make it better. 17 year ago I attempted to start a new organization at 27 years old I had worked for a few non-profits and was idealistic still a little naive. Not only was I put through the ringer having worked for a refugee agency assisting HT victims but I had been an organizer for a union, a case manager at a detention center for immigrants but worked as a legal assistant at an immigration law firm. After all these experiences I was ready to take on the world by creating a ministry or non-profit that kept the vision of MLK alive. It’s name was A More Excellent Way a phrase used by him quoting the writings of the apostle Paul. 1 Corinthians 12:31 "Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. And yet I will show you the most excellent way." Reverend Doctor King is pointing to the Way of Love described by Paul as "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant..." co

"Letter from a Birmingham Jail [King, Jr.]"16 April 1963My Dear Fellow Clergymen:While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view which argues against "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters i

In this weeks show Journalist David Josef Volodzko returns. The controversial author had an exchange with Genocide expert Omer Bartov. Dr. Bartov wrote an article in The Guardian arguing The State of Israel is guilty of genocide. Volodzko responding to the accusation of Genocide is presented after reading Omer Bartov essay in this episode. His email response to Bartov is below:“Mr. Bartov, I read your moving essay in The Guardian this morning. It is maybe one of the more powerful essays I have read of this nature since Oct 7. I do not see the case for genocide, but I do feel it is important to humanize both sides of this conflict, as you have done. I wish there was more writing like this out there. I am surprised that you wrote of the "utter inability of Israeli society today to feel any empathy..." I would argue for the removal of "utter" and "any" and I have seen videos of Israelis being interviewed and, even after Oct 7, expressing compassion for the people of Gaza. Perhaps yo
