Is Humanity Good or Bad ? - God, Something Has Got to be Done About Your Kids - 033

Is humanity good or bad? What is total depravity and original sin and are they helpful for the life of faith? Emilie, an Irenicast listener, touches off a conversation between Jeff, Mona & Allen over these questions and more when she wonders if “being told every Sunday morning for decades on end that you are dirty, sinful, wicked, and completely worthless” makes theological sense. And in honor of Back to the Future Day’s impending arrival, your hosts offer a few 30-year predictions of their own.
