Easter Satire, Angry Atheists, & Canada’s Bill C-9: Is Truth Now Hate Speech?

He is Risen! In this episode of the Ask A Christian Podcast, host Nate and the crew dive into the humor and controversy surrounding Easter. We start with a "watching party" featuring Lutheran Satire’s take on pagan myths, Ishtar, and the legendary "Satan Press Conference." Things get serious as we address the fallout from our recent "78 Atheist Questions" episode. Why are the comments so grumpy? We tackle the "Amputee Challenge" and explain why signs and wonders are irrelevant to the core message of salvation. Finally, we head north to discuss the chilling implications of Canada’s Bill C-9 and the evolving landscape of hate speech laws. Can a Christian still speak Biblical truth about homosexuality without facing criminal charges? We explore the fine line between disagreement and "harm" in a world that’s increasingly eager to silence the Gospel.
