Life's Too Short To Pretend We're Not Religious (S14 Episode17)

Well, after making some rather bold and audacious claims last Sunday, it is time to settle into this Revisionist History series, and I am excited to get at it by looking at the rather curious case of “equality.”

I am hoping this Sunday will be lots of fun with much to chew on as we dive into some unsettling, but rather profound questions. To that end, we are going to need to talk about the whispered and hushed conversations we all had during COVID, why Lord Sumption landed himself in some serious hot water over some COVID remarks, why we can’t help but reach for the sacred when discussing the value of human life, what it might sound like to debate Plato on his philosophy of inherent human inequality, what Yuval Noah Harari (the atheist) has to say about human rights, and why I woke up rather confused after a dream about Taylor Swift.

Beyond that, we will need to examine why Sam Harris’ (the atheist) "water glass" analogy exposes both the good and ill of believing in God, what kind of water I can convince you all to buy and then drink, what losing Christian stories unleashes on the world, and why people stopped caring about threats of hell after a certain historic landmark. Oh my, so many interesting places to go. I think it will get us all thinking in ways we may have never thought about before.
