Secular vs. Solomon YouTube comment exchange

  • Does the Secular vs. Solomon game cherry-pick secularism and the Bible to suit a foregone conclusion?

The hosts read a comment accusing their Secular vs. Solomon game of cherry-picking both secularism and the Bible to fit a foregone conclusion, and holding up Christopher Hitchens as a clearer, faster voice on the topic. A host reads his reply asking for specifics, and the commenter's follow-up defines the secularism subscribed to by most secularists; the host's final response explains the game's title was chosen for alliteration, the game simply contrasts biblical Proverbs (occasionally Ecclesiastes) with wisdom sayings from other countries, and concedes the game falls short of serious theology or a rigorous definition of secularism.
