CC051: Schellenberg's Argument from Hiddenness - Justin Schieber, Blake Giunta, and others

In this Theist/Atheist Discussion, we're tackling the argument from Hiddenness again but this time with a new group. This discussion features atheists and hosts of the Real Atheoloy podcast Justin Schieber and Ben Watkins. The theists are Josh Parikh and Blake Giunta. The formulation of the argument being discussed is Schellenberg's most recent formulation: (1) If a perfectly loving God exists, then there exists a God who is always open to a personal relationship with any finite person. (2) If there exists a God who is always open to a personal relationship with any finite person, then no finite person is ever nonresistantly in a state of nonbelief in relation to the proposition that God exists. (3) If a perfectly loving God exists, then no finite person is ever nonresistantly in a state of nonbelief in relation to the proposition that God exists. (from 1, 2) (4) Some finite persons are or have been nonresistantly in a state of nonbelief in relation to the proposition that God exists. (5) No perfectly loving God exists. (from 3, 4) Link to the YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JnWRPT6Wtk&t=142s Real Atheology Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/real-atheology/id1200545713 Our Website: www.capturingchristianity.com Our Patreon: www.patreon.com/capturingchristianity
