ABOUT THE EPISODE
What does the Bible say about abortion, the death penalty and gay people, and does the religious right follow it? I sat down with comedian, broadcaster and SiriusXM host John Fugelsang, whose parents were a nun and a Franciscan brother who broke their vows to marry.

John tells the love story that opens his book Separation of Church and Hate, then looks back on his TV fights with Jerry Falwell Sr. and former Klansman David Duke, and why he now answers with scripture instead of insults. We get into what Exodus 21 says about a fetus, why John reads Matthew 19 as a rule on divorce and not gay marriage, why he says Jesus died a Jew and Rome rewrote the story of his death, and Jesus versus Paul.

His test for anyone who uses Jesus to win votes: name one thing Jesus taught that they fight for.
