  • Smarticle - AGTF - Is There a G-D? - The Intersection of Faith and Atheism: Exploring Spirituality in Dark Times
    On this ABOS God Talk Friday here on the Smarticle Podcast we discuss a thought-provoking New York Times article titled 'How to Pray to a God You Don't Believe In.' The conversation delves into the complexities of faith during difficult times, particularly within the Jewish community, with references to the Holocaust and differing levels of belief among Jews. Brandon reflects on his time at a Jewish day school, observing the prevalence of atheism even in religious settings. We contemplate the philosophical and existential questions about the existence of God, the nature of evil, and the role of mystery in religion. The dialogue also touches on various perspectives from Christianity and the importance of moral actions regardless of one's faith. The episode concludes with a light-hearted suggestion to invite a rabbi to further explore these themes.

  • Smarticle - ABOS - The Rise and Fall of BeReal: A Retrospective - A Redux

We discuss the potential pitfalls, including how people could manipulate the feature and the challenges of competing with established social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Ultimately, we reflect on the nature of social media and whether true authenticity can exist online.

  • Smarticle - AGTF - A Rerelease - In the Image of Your Father (and Mother)
    In this Rerelease of a Smarticle Podcast show from two and a half years ago, we discuss the concept of God through the lens of Franciscan friar, Father Richard Rohr's ideas.

We delve into the common human tendency to attribute parental characteristics to God and challenges rule-based religious thinking.
