TCND: Turbo's Wedding, Flattery, and "Nice" Christians (Dirt Nap Pudding)

This is an extended episode because we have a lot to say about manipulative non-believers who take advantage of the "nice" Christians...

But first, we chat for about Grandma Turbo's upcoming nuptials, yard work, and taking responsibility. 

Later:

-"Kind" and "intelligent" and "friendly" non-believers are even more dangerous than the militant jerks. This is especially true when this is their brand. 

-We often teach Christians that they OWE IT to non-believers to reward their so-called friendliness.  ("You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.")  This makes people more vulnerable to narcissists and other predators who try very hard to be likeable. 

-Here's a story about Tabby being manipulated by a royal jerk in college.  ("You're not being very Christlike...")

-Moms often feel mean when they take authority in a particular situation--especially when the toddler or child says "I just want a hug!" or "I just want to snuggle." 

Finally:

-WOULD YOU TURN DOWN A CHANCE TO HAVE PIZZA WITH RICKY GERVAIS???
