## Resource

Actor, comedian, host, and political commentator John Fugelsang is on a victory tour for his brand new, New York Times Best Selling book 'Separation of Church and State'. A sharp and hilarious dissection of the current American political landscape (and its coopting of Christianity), John's latest release returns him to Geekscape. Not a bad follow-up to appearing on national favorites like The Daily Show! We discuss the parallels between fandom and faith, the dangers of imposing your favorite ones onto others, and how his book gives you tools to lower our national political temperature before everyone's cooked! We also talk about comics performing at the controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival, why you should stop buying Electronic Arts video games, and how James Gunn's 'Superman' got Christ's teachings right!
