Jim Cassidy's take on the Book of Job is so bad. Basically he's saying that Job blamed God for his suffering. I don't know how these people read Job, because Job (and his friends) clearly was aware of the blameless God, and God-fearingly avoiding that narrative and motive. So Job's sin is not how he view God but how he view man or God's created man and the lack of I-Thou relationship with God which David championed:

Of Allie Beth Stuckey's podcast:
- Stephanie Gray Connors recommended by Trent Horn to be the best Pro-life debater. Not really in my interest but good to keep in mind of who this is.
- On Death Penalty: Trent Horn, as a Catholic, obviously do not support capital punishment, now, because there's this thing called prison. "People are not hanged for stealing horses, they are hanged so horses won't be stolen." John MacArthur answered this using what Jesus said "those who live by the sword will die by the sword." She said Genesis 9:6, which would be similar beforehand. Perhaps Allie chickened out on this (not the same treatment she would others such as Tim Keller) here and let Horn teach her that you must have purpose to have capital punishment rather than just principle. Or it could also be that Trent did not see Allie's point from the Bible, as they probably are both very bad at general revelation. Not able to weigh in what the other is saying against his/her own view, but just full of themselves. One says God's command needs to be explained; the other says God's command needs to be obeyed, so they are talking across each other, so to speak.
The prison argument fails if you find imperfection in the prison system, which is plentiful (i.e. risks of another crime, prison cost, etc.) and biblical death penalty is never about future prevention, but testifying the gravity of the crime against the sanctity of human life.
