No, I do actually like John Ankerberg. He does show his bias at times I think but, I have enjoyed lots of his shows. Martin just seems to repel me in a way I cannot explain.
Ankerberg and Martin were close friends and associates. They agreed on almost everything. He spoke at Martin's funeral.
I didn't watch but there is a video covering it.
You have to remember while being degreed in religion he was a moderator on his show. Except when he did solo shows or felt that at some point there were points or question then needed to be raised..
That is not easy. Being in elected and appointed office there are many times I had to bite my tongue and sit back and just listen.
I never saw a show where I did not know his position. Just the people he chose to debate each other gave it away. He always has his side represented.
The two of them had different styles but when they work together it was always on an issue a common belief.
