time.com #9: friends who are more fun

The hosts read and respond to item #9 from a former evangelical's time.com list, 'what I gained when I lost my religion': 'friends who are more fun and the parties are way better.' They push back on the false dichotomy — a Christian dominated by a list of things you can't say, think, or feel isn't introducing anyone to Jesus — and admit the uncomfortable truth that people do live vicariously through others' wild stories ('the mark of an interesting guy'). They argue Christ actually widens your circle: Jesus' own twelve included a government worker and an anti-government zealot, and the narrow door is open to absolutely everybody.
