What is Christianity\\u2019s contribution to history and has it been positive or negative? John Dickson says Christians should obey Jesus\\u2019 command to remove the plank from our own eye and admit the many ugly truths about church history. Only then will we be able to see clearly the parts of church history that conform to the way of Jesus. Skye talks to Dickson about his new book, \\u201cBullies & Saints: An Honest Look at the Good and Evil of Christian History.\\u201d

Also this week, a conspiracy filled speech by the actor who played Jesus in \\u201cThe Passion of the Christ\\u201d has gone viral. Why are evangelicals more susceptible than others to such nonsense? And was Bonhoeffer right that stupidity is more dangerous than malice? Plus, why does the Bible forbid witchcraft? (Hint: it has nothing to do with patriarchy.) And, PETA is trying to change our language to protect the feelings of cows and chickens
