Real Seekers

This is a bonus show based on my final Philosophy of Religion class essay on J.L. Schellenberg's argument from the "Loving Mother" analogy.  This is a relatively straight-forward and simple Atheistic argument and I provide three reasons as to why I think it is based on disanalogies and is thus a false analogy.

I was asked to be a guest on an all Christian conservative show on S&S after the election.  As most of the regular listeners know, I'm not a huge fan of all the politically focused shows that S&S has done lately (hence why I've waited to post this up so long after the fact), but I show up after the first 30 mins or so to discuss some of these important issues out of respect for the hosts of S&S David R. and David J. as well as to have a good time with the other Christians panelists on the show; they had some interesting things to say :)

In this short bonus episode I make some announcements as to my Podcast plans in the summer (doesn't include some of the scholars I'm planning to contact in June).    Additionally, I include a discussion of my final exegetical essay for my Ancient Philosophy class based on Plato's dialogues in the Parmenides- specifically I look at what Plato might have had in mind in the Appendix to Deductions 1 and 2 based on the argument that the "temporal instant" must be in "no time at all".

This was an S&S show as part of series on the differences between Christians and Atheists on issues pertaining to killing and death.  This episode was about the death penalty.    

I wasn't a main guest in this show, but I had a bit part in asking David J. about the expressivist theory of punishment (around the 55 min- 1 hour mark) and then toward the end I discuss my take on a Consequentialist vs. Retributionist justification for punishment and finish off with my take on the use of the death penalty (starting around the 1 hour 25 min mark through to the end).

This is my second live show on the Proselytize or Apostatize podcast, we were doing a Q&A session with the new host Caleb Jackson and we covered various topics including Pacifism, the argument from God from Beauty, miracle healings, eschatology and the Shroud of Turin.

This is the final part of the S&S Season 1 Finale show.

This is Part 1 of the Season 1 Finale episode of S&S.  In this show David and I reflect on the first season of S&S and some of the lessons learned or address some of the recurrent themes during the season.  On my end, I address many of the misunderstandings and false notions of the skeptics that were repeatedly brought up as arguments against me, these include; i) The Different Strokes for Different Folks Objection, ii) Peer Disagreement- Authoritative Apologetics vs. Epistemic Humility, iii) The Issue of "Head canon", iv) The Assumptive “Nothing Buttery” of Scientism/Empiricism, and v) The Argument from Ignorance Fallacy  

This is the second and final part of the S&S series on the Coherence of Christian Theism, we discuss all of God's other divine attributes beyond his personhood and incorporeality. 

This was to be the first episode in a series on the Coherence of Christian Theism, however the Skeptic felt ill-equipped to handle my arguments and thus we cut it short to a two-part series; in this first episode I go over God as a incorporeal personal Being and in Part 2 we cover all the rest of God's attributes at once in a much more generalized and brief nature due to the Skeptic's request and inability to adequately respond.

This is a bonus episode of a Round Table I did on all things Easter with David J. and the two skeptics from Ask an Atheist Anything; Andrew Knight and Matthew Taylor.  We go over everything from the meaning of Easter to it's pagan roots and even explore a little into the Ascension of Jesus in Acts 1 and how that relates to the Resurrection.
