>Atheist. As if only "liberal Christians" would dislike him. He's an unorthodox heretic and an embarrassing example of American religious modernity.

He's one of the few people willing to preach straight from the Bible and actually tell people unpopular Biblical principles even if it causes people (evidently including you) discomfort.

Also a heretic is someone who tells people false doctrines which are not found in the Bible. "heretic" is not a byword for "someone who I disapprove of". Unless you have solid, intelligently researched doctrines in the Bible which you know that he is getting incorrect, you're just throwing out insults. I'm just going to say if you have some dense "hurr well what about eating shellfish!" response or some equivalent dumb answer that belies you get all of your Bible knowledge from atheist podcasters, don't bother responding. Not saying that's you, but literally 99% of atheists have no idea what the Bible teaches despite very strong opinions on it.
