Forget about Godwin’s Law for a moment. There are a ton of blogs and news sites where comments degenerate about as quickly as “Publish” is hit by the editor. Well before either “Nazi” or “Hitler” are invoked disagreement and shouting abound, often like flinging darts into the darkness. No one is listening to the various points while most everyone is responding to what they “think” is being said.

Maybe without argument (*cough) the Monty Python clip below is as brilliantly written and performed piece as ever seen in its medium. It’s the famous “Argument Clinic” with John Clinic and Michael Palin.

Enjoy!

About Me

Hi, I'm Marty Duren

I’m Marty Duren, a freelance writer, content creator, podcaster, and publisher in Nashville, TN. I guess that makes me an entrepreneur-of-all-trades. Formerly a social media strategist at a larger publisher, comms director at a religious nonprofit, and a pastor, Marty Duren Freelance Writing is the new business iteration of a decade-long side-hustle.

I host the Uncommontary Podcast which publishes weekly. Guests range from academics to authors to theologians to activists on subjects related to history, current events, and the impact of evangelicalism on American life. My voice is deep-fried giving rise to being labeled “a country Batman.” Find Uncommontary in your favorite podcast app.

Missional Press publishes books by Christian writers with the goal of impacting people with the good news of Jesus. 

I’m a longtime blogger at Kingdom in the Midst, where, over the course of many years, I’ve written a lot of words.
