"I don't believe in god but I am still a good person."
"I don't think you need god to be good." Ever wondered what's the response to these? Tag along as we break down why good atheists don't disprove anything, but rather they too point towards a universal moral law giver.

Ep #77 - God and Eastern Minds: Breaching Cultural Barriers (ft. Jacob Cheriyan)
Is Christianity a white man's religion? If not, given the extensive depth of theological and philosophical exploration done in the West, how do we present God, Gospel and Christ to the Eastern mind? Is it an attempt that ends up in compromising Biblical truths? Or won't merely preaching the Gospel be enough?! What is the need for these cultural gymnastics?! Jacob Cheriyan has been pioneering the project God and Eastern Minds (GEM) to make culturally substantiated inroads in presenting the Gospel in India. What follows is one of the most fascinating and perspective orienting interactions on SAFT Podcast!

Ep #76 - Past, Present and Future are Equally REAL? The TOUGHEST Objection to the Kalam?! (ft. Ashish John)
Is time travel possible? Well, it depends what we know of time. If B-Theory of time is true then we just need to build the vehicle that can do the job. In fact some claim that if the B-Theory of time is true then the Kalam Cosmological Argument will fail. Is that so? Ashish John, a physics teacher by profession, joins us to help us walk through this quagmire topic of time.
