Barak Lurie joins Joe to discuss his new book "Atheism Kills: The Dangers of a World Without God - And Cause for Hope" says, when someone tells me how bad Israel is, I ask them to tell me how big Israel is compared to some of the United States. They always say Texas. Then I ask, how big are the Arab enemies combined. They also say Texas.

Population ratio is 400:1 Arabs:Israeli. Then I tell them, they are the only Democracy in the region. And the only one who is not against gays, women, or freedom.

Jewish Conservativism aligns perfectly with Conservative politics. Reform Judiasm, not so much.

How did we get to this place where the greatest civil rights issue of the day is whether a man could go into a woman's locker room? No one is putting the breaks on the rapid decay of civilization.

How many transgenders are there in this country anyway? There are 9300 transgenders in the U.S. Why are we allowing such a minute segment of the population turn the rest of us completely topsy turvey?

2.5% of the US are Jews. That's ~5 million Jews!
3-10% of the US is gay
3% of Muslims
12% are black

Be proud of your belief and talk about it!

No other religion in history comes close to atheism in the numbers of people killed.

Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately?

Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely
not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting.

But the conversation is always respectful and you’re sure to learn something new, even if you
don’t agree!

If you’ve always wondered how the “other side” thinks and how they’ve arrived at their “stand”,
then this is the show for you!

It’s not the right side, it’s not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!
