Ep 88 | The Great God Divide—The 5 Big Questions That Separate Us

Are you ready for some serious soul stretching?  What kind of hitch-hiker would I stop for late at night?  Does human suffering prove that God is either impotent or cruel? Can people be good and decent without a belief in God? Does God and His Bible require people to renounce passion and exclude fun from their lives? Is belief in evolution a religious or scientific issue? Does God prefer poor people to rich? Science is terrible at telling us how to believe and horrible at informing us how to behave. It is not even much good at explaining things like gravity or colors or language. But it is outstanding at describing. Formulae, equations and theories all attempt to describe physical phenomena but never to explain them. Why didn't Einstein like the Big Bang Theory? Happy warriors are like salmon—we’re okay with swimming against the current. Just because the masses have been hypnotized and the crowds have been indoctrinated doesn’t change our beliefs or our behavior. Three cheers for happy warriors. This is the happy warrior’s textbook https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/americas-real-war-ebook/ that I believe I wrote with Divine assistance.
