I spend the most time talking about religious … Continue reading CA131 What would convince you? →

    CA130 Am I Agnostic?

    CA130 Am I Agnostic?

    The world is religiously ambiguous: It can be interpreted in various incompatible ways, and the interpreters are not necessarily violating any standards of rationality in doing so.

Too generous with very weak Christian arguments

Treating the Bible as if it is actually a series of historical documents and not a strange amalgam of mythology with a little bit of history sprinkled in is very problematic. For example, there is no archaeological evidence that the Jews were enslaved in Egypt. That’s a big historical problem. We should be more skeptical of claims of history without actual documentation than this podcast is, and for the host to criticize atheists on this point when he admits that this is not his area of specialty undermines the credibility of the entire show.
