AS242: Einstein, Godel, and God
Time for a change of pace! This episode I speak to a listener who doesn’t want to call himself an atheist. We debate about that, and we also discuss Einstein and Godel’s religious views.

Godel’s … Continue reading AS242: Einstein, Godel, and God → The post AS242: Einstein, Godel, and God appeared first on Atheistically Speaking.

AS241: Social Justice Commentary 2

AS237: James Lindsay and Eli Bosnick on Social Justice
This is it! Something I’ve been trying to have happen for a long time! I’ve been critical of people on both sides of these issues only dealing with their respective echo chambers and never engaging, and I’ve wanted to be a better example for you guys for quite some time now.

Therefore, it’s more likely we’re in a simulation! I think it’s actually a terrible argument and I talk about why. Plus, more on the soccer team pay discrepency from last week, as … Continue reading AS235: Do We Live In A Simulation? → The post AS235: Do We Live In A Simulation? appeared first on Atheistically Speaking.
