Summary

Twitter Space 15 July 2025

In this episode, I explore the foundations of ethics and morality in the context of atheism, questioning the source of truthfulness without God. I challenge atheists to articulate their own rationale for morality, critiquing common justifications that often lack depth. Through personal anecdotes and listener engagement, I examine the implications of self-interest in ethical reasoning and stress the importance of accountability. This dialogue promotes a re-evaluation of moral principles, aiming to establish a coherent ethical framework that guides our interactions in a secular world.
