[This episode has Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Jed Payne and Joey Svendsen in it] Is pledging allegiance to a flag weird or even creepy? If one believes in hell, is it kind of psycho to make jokes about people going there? Just how much does God intervene in the affairs of humanity and work on behalf of people's prayers? And if God intervenes in more important "life or death" matters, why does God only stop a few? These questions discussed and no answers were establish...
