Good and Evil
In Our Time: Philosophy
I'm a Committed Atheist, but I Don't Think That's It
The late iris murdock's concept of good as being as real as a rock, representing the reality of which god is the dream, is explored. The speaker expresses their belief that seeking to personify good with god distracts from the true meaning. They claim to be a committed atheist regarding the christian religion, but agnostic about a larger mental presence in the universe. The speaker finds the idea of heaven and hell as melodramatic and appalling. The discussion then turns to the concept of eternal damnation, with some scholars arguing against its existence and the church never officially damning anyone, not even judas.
