Charlie Kirk Conspiracy Theories That Lead to Death Threats with Seth Dillon

Why are Frank and other close friends of Charlie Kirk getting threatening messages and phone calls? In the wake of the tragedy that occurred almost eight weeks ago, Frank sits down with Babylon Bee CEO, Seth Dillon, to unpack how speculation, misinformation, and social media outrage are fueling fear and false accusations that are putting innocent people in harm's way. Together, they confront the ethical and spiritual dangers of spreading unverified claims, even under the banner of “free speech.” Tune in as they answer questions like:

-- How have Seth & Frank personally been affected by conspiracy theories related to Charlie Kirk?
-- What's the difference between a possibility and evidence for a possibility?
-- What makes conspiracy theories so attractive to the human mind?
-- Where do we draw the line between rational and irrational skepticism?
-- Why isn't the FBI telling us more about the murder of Charlie Kirk?
-- Could this be spiritual warfare?
-- How have these conspiracy theories distracted us from the real problem?
-- What thought experiment reveals the faulty logic of Candace Owens?

In a world where rumors spread faster than truth, this episode reminds us that careless words can destroy reputations and deepen wounds. Unchecked speculation isn't just irresponsible, it's dangerous. Please continue to pray for everybody involved in this tragedy.
