I couldn't believe that you invited Richard Swinburne to give a theological lecture which is full of totally unsupported statements like: God sustains the laws of physics, God is omniscient, God is infinitely good, etc. All this has nothing to do with philosophy.
Not about Hannah Arendt at all. Speakers spend most of their time talking about everything but.
guys, you are awesome. revision is finally fun!!
does the show ever begin?
I remember being about 6 or 8 and asking "how do I know the bible is true?" "God says so" "How do I know God is real?" "The bible says so". And I didn't like it. I think its interesting that these are very basic questions that most people have. For a long time I considered myself an atheist. But the older I get, I have to admit that I don't know. There is alot that I don't know
Ive been thinking alot about hinduism. Advaita vedanta. Maybe I'm not separate from the universe.
i have recently found your podcast and i really enjoy it! thank you very much!
it would be so helpful for foreign students if there were manuscripts of these episodes!
Could God make an equal to itself? A companion which is Omniscient, omnipotent, Omnibenevolent? On Gods faliure of Omnipotence and Omniscience. Judges 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. Ezekiel 20:25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; Here jesus arbitrarily commits a negative miracle. Matthew 21:18 Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.”Immediately the fig tree withered away.
If God is Omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient The alpha and omega, would that not inherently mean he/it embodies everything in him/it? If there are "good" things about a cabbage, I should be able to say "God has characteristics of a cabbage." Not saying he/it is mutually exclusive to a cabbage though...or is it?
very enjoyable podcast guys. you are bringing fun and charm to topic i am not too familiar with but definitely do not associate with fun or charm.
One thing I notice. When they talk about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they seem to feel some guilt. I'm american, maybe I should have more guilt? But I dont think so it weighs on everyone I guess
Sorry guys but existentialism is not about taking responsibility. It is the idea that there is no pre-defined meaning in the universe, as opposed to Christian teachings. This idea is at least as old as Protagoras in 5th century Athens. His philosophy was in opposition to that of Socrates and Plato who believed in the existence of forms which defined reality. Average people lived in the dark, unable to see these forms while philosopher kings could. This ability meant they should rule over us and restrict our actions.
I'm listening to this over and over. I guess cuz I'm not quite suicidal but almost? also I'm really hungover. I dunno. I guess I'll be ok...tomorrow? heh

I find this guy's 'quali' to be the most unnecessary concept. So many extra distinctions pulled in that don't explain anything any better than the descriptions of the experiences in themselves. treating experience as if it's a constellation of atomized qualia just makes no sense to me from my own experience.
