Daniel: Psychology of Apologetics

You're going to want to grab a cozy drink and pull up your favorite note-taking app because this episode is jam-packed!

Former guest, Daniel shared his deconversion story here, and now he returns with a lesson on the psychology of modern—and often, predatory—apologetics. He knows his stuff, so prepare to learn a few things.

"The target audience of apologetics is actually believers, and the purpose of apologetics is to reduce cognitive dissonance."
