Deep Talks | Cultural Theology with Paul Anleitner

Ep 70: Everyone (Yes, even Richard Dawkins) Believes in God. "Does God Exist?" is Dead.

In my formative years when I first started getting into theology and philosophy, I used to really enjoy watching debates between Christian and atheist apologists on the question "Does God exist?"
But the deeper I went on my journey the more I realized that this question, and many of my conceptions of God, were fundamentally flawed. I had misunderstood what the word "God" meant.

When we properly understand what that word means, it becomes clear that everyone (yes, even Richard Dawkins!) believes in God. It also becomes clear, that not every Christian believes in the same God.

In this episode, I'll share a bit of my own journey and lay out the case for why the question, "Does God exist?" is dead.
