For this conversation, I am joined by Scott Clifton aka Theoretical Bullshit.

We talk over the usefulness of social media platforms like Twitter, as well as their harm. Along with this, we touch on fatalism, sin (specifically the Judeo-Christian concept of 'The Fall') and finally land on morality by taking an unexpected look at abortion.

For this conversation, I am joined by Jon Perry and Daniel. 

Together we talk about the scope and limits of science, abiogenesis, evolution and DNA as a language. 

This was a great dive into the claims often made by theists. 

Daniel had to drop out halfway through due to a housemate's issue that needed to be addressed. 

Jon released a video at the same time as our conversation with him went live. In it he is directly addressing a claim that John Lennox made when he came onto our show a few months ago, you can check that out here.

I want to know what is next for When Belief Dies, and I want you to help me on the journey of kicking things back off.

Thank you for the love and support as I've been battling with my mental health - it's SO appreciated.

If you wanna connect before I (maybe) open things back up, you can find me on Twitter

This week Sam and Roger sit down with Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes and talk about the space that is philosophy, psychedelics, theology, naturalism, materialism, atheism and Christianity. 

This was a fantastic conversation, and I look forward to welcoming Peter back on the podcast in due course.

This week Roger speaks to award-winning writer and theologian Thomas Jay Oord about his view of open and relational theology. 

They discuss whether love really is the ultimate reality of the universe and whether Tom’s notion of an uncontrolling God actually helps with the problem of evil.  

Sadly, I (Sam) couldn't make this conversation due to being away in London for work. Roger and I spoke before the conversation and Roger agreed to ask a good few questions that I had after I read Thomas's book.

This week Sam and Daniel are joined by Thomas Westbrook, who is also known as Holy Koolaid. Thomas' YouTube channel was one of the first that I (Sam) deep-dived into when I began to question my Christian heritage.

In this conversation, we talk to Thomas about his journey, channel, beliefs and goals. It's an honest conversation that really gets at the heart of why people can leave a faith-based religious system and hold onto awe and wonder at the world around them.
